conference where he would be pressed.

through numerous. newsless. dry,

The occasion was the opening ses-

chairmen Of SIS individual parent
teacher organizations in Washington

Setting forth that the United
States Government has profound
obligation and a rare opportunity at
this time not only to improve con-
ditions described in this report, but
to establish high standards in this
importan field Of human welfare,
as an example for emulation by the
various States of the Union, the
committee said these ends could best
be served by the development of St.

in which she has already proceeded
a long distance as center of re-
search In psychiatry and a training
school for the physician, nurse and
welfare worker for service in State
hospitals and community.
This would render the largest
medical service and meet the great
est need today in the field of mental
medicine"
For the cause Of psychiatry
throughout the Union, it Is fortu-
nate that st. Elizabeth's Hospital is
setting an example Of conducting a
broadly constructed medical policy
covering the entire field of psychiatric
work.
"Summa rizing results of our
study of medical work at st. EliZ-
abeth's," the committee said, 1T
may be asserted that all branches of
the medical service considered essen
tial for treatment of mental illness
have been given their place In
well organized plan that considers
diagnosis, treatment and restoration
of patients. Research work in the
various fields offered by the hospital
Ia of the highest type and Is being
ca eerlv prosecuted. There is a uni
formitv of development in all fields
of medical service that deserves
hearty commendation.
Declaring that the nursing morale
at the hospital is high. the repor,

tanning a high standard of nurse
training. although at present a
minimum number of nurses is pro-
vided for the care of patients. The

The uncle asked the boy to do the

TYRANTS OF ALASKA


 This is the proper for each of the 39 Bureaus that today govern Alaska. peculia: thing about the government of Alaska by Bureaus is this the American people, from the Presi dent down to the humblest citizen, seem to think that this condition is all right, and as for the heads of the many Bureaus each such head believes sincerely that he was foreordained for his own work. However good his intention might have been when such head arrived here, he becomes intolerant of criticism, and he believes himself the repository of all of the wisdom of the ages.
 None of the Bureaus in Alaska is more arrogant than the Forestry Department Their power is absolute, and very often is exercised to gratify the over-lord's desire for personal spite. There is rising tide of sentiment in Alaska against the present heads of the Forestry Department. To offset this, the Department is making a big noise about getting pulp mills to to Alaska. This activity is either born of pretense ignorance of the simplest rules of business.
 The reason the pulp mills are being built in Canada and elsewhere except Alaska is because production is cheaper. The paper men know conditions better than anybody else in the world, not excepting the Bureau of the Forestry Department in Alaska, and they will not come to Alaska until the market conditions both as to supply and demand compel them to come If they come any sooner, it will be because of some premium which the paper people will have from the government
 The paper trust is we'll satisfied with the present regulations, so they say, but you don't see them establishing their plants in Alaska do you? They satisfied because they are not themselves ready to come to Alaska having better access to Canada, and because the present regulations are keeping out the smaller concerns. When the Paper Trust gets ready to come to Alaska there will be no difficulty about the regulations they will be changed to suit their desires

LET US BE HONEST

The Ketchkan Commercial Club political machine is backing the Ketchikan Chronicle because Edward G. Morrissey is their efficient tool. Business men need not get sore because we call the Commercial Club political machine. That is what it is It is being by closed corporation of l. C. Barber, H. C. Strong, J. R. Heckman H. C. Nunan. He is their tool and efficient mouthpiece.
 The other day, the Chronicle refused to accept advertisement from little woman, for more than five years citizen of Ketchikan, once in better circumstances and now struggling to make an honest living and just two jumps ahead of the wolf, because she represented what Morrissey called "a mail order house."
 The lady then went to the First City News" The advertisement was accepted and printed Then Ed Morrissey took the printed advertise ment around and showed it to different business men and said in substance: "This ad was offered to me, but I refused it because it is against the policy of my paper to help mail order houses. But the First City News printed 1t. Look, here it is. (Shows the paper) Do you want to support paper like that?'
 1t was only few days later that the self same Edward G. Morrissey was sent to Seattle fare paid by the Ketchikan Commercial Club to fight for increased tax on halibut sold in Prince Rupert, and while there, the self-same Edward G. Morrissey bought himself complete outfit, tailor made slick, spick and span, iron, soup to nuts.

 This is the title of an editorial of the Democratic Daily press of Juneau In that editorial we were told that If the bill (intro. duced by Mr. sulzer years ago in Congress) had been enacted into law the Legislature of 1923 could have adopted fisheries legislation and it could have been amended in 1925"
 Then reminded that Dan Sutherland and those that train with him" fought against the Sulzer bill

under way since early in March, has been to place employees on commercial trolling boats, who would pay the boat owners the market price for all fish tagged and released. It was expected to carry on the American work m similar way, in Washington ana Oregon and Alaska.
 However the Bureau states they have found it hard to find rellaoAe employees who would go out on trollers without becoming too sea- sick to work; also that they had trouble finding fishermen who would cooperate. In addition, in many localities the runs have been so noor that it scarcely seemed worth while to have man on the grounds Accordingly up to the end ot June, few fish had been tagged in Wash ington and Oregon. Harlan b. Holmes, who was in charge of the field work in that district, was larg- ely occupied in checking up on the return of marked Sockeyes in the Columbia River.
 However, it is planned to equip one of the Fish Commission boats for trolling and to start tagging about the 5th of July It is hoped that by means of these tagging operations some definite know ledge of the coast wise migrations of fish can be obtained.
