further statement, that Mr.. Ford
had never believed in advertising,
To the unthinking, it might ap-
pear that if there is any concern
which could get along without ad-
vertising, it would be the Ford in
dustry with its millions of new cars
on all the roads of not only this
country, but the world. But there
has never been an article so good
that it could be moved to the full
est capacity without the impelling
power of advertising.
The manufacturers of Pears
soap tried that few years ago, af-
ter having built up world trade

soap" for years was printed in
every language in every country on
the globe. After while the manu-
facturers believed that the soap
could continue under it's own mo-
mentum and advertising was sus-
pended Within year there had
been a decided reduction in the
sales of Pears soap. Soon there
after advertising was resumed and
far more money was spent than
had been saved during the interim.
But in the meantime new soaps
had been pushed forward by eXten-
sive advertising. The result has
been that Pears soap has never
regained it's popularity and prob
ably no amount of advertising
could restore it. It's manufacturers
had closed the door of opportunity.
1t is likely that there was never
a time in recent years when the
Ford industry stood in sOrer need
of advertising if it is to maintain
supremacy of production. The COM
petition of cars of the Ford class
has become fierce. There was
time when every low-priced car on
the road was a Ford. There were
five Ford cars for one of all other
kinds. Now any traveller will no
tice that the proportion has been
greatly reduced and that there are
at least four makes of cheap cars
whose numbers are steadily in
creasing. Mr.. Ford is still turn
ing out production in an enormous
volume, in probably as large a vol
ume as he desires. Yet the Ford
plant is not now running to capa-
city. The announcement was late
ly made that one company making
a car of growing popularity this
year would spend ten million dol
lars this year on increased produc-
ton

ANOTHER OF RALPH'S VOTE.
CATCHING STUNTS
(Tombstone Epitaph)

On the eve of another election,
and after lapse of five years
since he entered upon his senator
ial duties at Washington, Ralph
Cameron has suddenly conceived
the idea of including copper in the
list of highly protected products of
this country. A majority of the
mine managers of Arizona hoot at
the idea. They maintain that a
tariff on copper would be of no ma
terial benefit to the copper indus
try for the reason that we have d
large surplus for export, and in the
meantime, the copper companies in
Arizona continue to pay dividends
in the absence of any tariff duty.
Sounds like another of Ralph's
vote catching stunts.

"HOT SHOTS"
By "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

Out in ansas there is a town

because the Ladies' Lend-a-Hand
Club quarelled over $9.78 collected
at one of their "socials." The strife
has been such that the bank, the
general store and the church have
closed. The pastor is out of job.
The Lend-a-Hand Club is white
hot, and the heat generated has
spread to all the community. Just
one more lesson to our Socialist
and Pacifist brethren that we are
not completely ready for Socializa-
ton.

The height of mans sacrifice to

got married so he could write some

Archaeologists have unearthed
old scripts telling of quaint Gus

people may be inclined to doubt
the authenticity of these rather
wild claims. For instance:
A gentlemen opened doors for
ladies.
And at dances wore gloves lest
he spoil his partners gown.
And in drawing rooms juggled
top hat, cane, gloves, bread and
butter, cup of tea and conversa-
ton.
And in the evenings asked her
fathers permission to sit in the
parlor with daughter.
And at dinner parties abstained
from smoking until the ladies had
left the table.
That was back in the age when.
in dancing, the feet were also en-
plOyed.
Since this appears to cast no
small slur upon the chivalry of this
generation, we have detailed Bas-
com Soapdodged, head of the sta
tistical department, to answer this
indefinite challenge.
He states:
About the only place a lady goes
nowadays is a night club, where
there are revolving doors. Seldom
indeed do they go home, and as
they are usually the wife of some
body else they must be let out sew

The extra margin of gloves at a

would be embarrassing.
Garments and conversation can
not be juggled at the same time as
gin, which is the usual drawing
room ration of the present.

The Herring Controversy

The usual cry, Don't scare capital away" is
being raised by the attorneys for special in
terests as the question of the use of herring for
fertilizer comes to the front.
The question must be settled on it's merits
and without fear of capital, or the subsidized
press.
Following reprint an article taken from
the Pacific Fisherman, spokesman for Seattle
and other outside interests that visit Alaska for
two months each summer
The conclusion of that paper is that nobody
knows anything about the herring or fertilizer
question: much less the Bureau of Fisheries
and that therefore, nothing should be done that
might affect the fertilizer business.
Special attention should be directed to the
tact that the Bureau of Fisheries is just now
beginning to gather data this industry, al
tho the question of herring fertilizer was rails
ed many years ago. In the last legislature
when an attempt made to place a prohi-
btive tax such fertilizer, the attorneys
argued that they had not had time to get facts
This was two years ago. What have they done
in the meantime?
The Question
We deal with facts. The town of Ketchikan
and other towns depend the tro1ers for their
existence The fertilizer plants driving the
herring out of certain bays and with the her
ring goes the king salmon. The experience of
every one is that if the herring is not pro-
tected from fertilizer plants, the troller will
have to quit. The protection that we now ask
is for our trollers Take your choice SEATTLE

on a food basis will be warranted. One i'm
portant obstacle is the fact that a great part
of the Alaska catch-by far the greater part in
districts of sizes not wanted by the
market at present and almost entirely unstable.
At the time, Alaskan waters are frequent
ed by vast schools of herring, whose annual in
crese should apparently afford an important
harvest.
Undr these conditions the herring reduction
industry has grown to large proportions, es-
pecially in Southeastern Alaska, where the pre-
valent size of the fish is too small for curing
There 10 herring reduction plants
in the Territory, representing an enormous in
vestment and producing 100000 gallons
year of fish OIL With the rise of the indus
try however, local opposition has also increas-
3D. and is now beginning to threaten
ing aspect The situation emphasizes the ur-
gent need of more complete and accurate knowl-
edge of the herring resources than is now
available.
The earlier antagonism was not of nature
to have much weight, but the recent rapid in
crease IN quantities of herring taken for reduc-
ton seems to have caused many people in the
Territory to wonder whether there might not
be danger of depletion and the opposition has
of late become rather wide spread in the Terri
tory, apparently extending beyond the purely
radical element This is indicated by a resolu-
ton recently adopted by the Wrangell Com
mercial Club, which has been widely distribut-
ed among Territorial and Federal officials and
Legislators, in which it is asserted that the
herring nner1eS are Oelng rapidly depleted by
"wasteful Methods; that the herring is the
natural food of other fishes and is indispensable
as bait and urging that fishing for herring be
limited to food and bait requirements and that
reduction be prohibited. It is also urged that
fishing be greatly restricted; that impounding,
even for food purposes, be prohibited; and that
gear be limited to gill nets
Action along similar lines also taken by
the Petersburg Commercial Club. The Juneau
Chamber of Commerce asked to follow suit
To aka fheri rvac he
fore acting. A leading part in the opposition
is said to have been taken by one F. Reed, who
is quoted claiming that within year or two
the herring supply will be exhausted.
It does not appear that much definite and re-
liable testimony has been produced to show in
dicatons of the alleged depletion, while re-
ports from producing districts show nothing
to cause any reasonable alarm. It is apparently
true that large herring were comparatively scarce
in Southeast Alaska most Of the season; but
