 BEAVER SEALED BY

OF COMMISSION WILL DETERMINE REGULA-
 TONS FOR NEXT SEASON

With almost two-thirds of the period for sealing beaver taken last May al- ready elapsed, 1t is estimated by the Alaska Game Commission that little more than one-half of the animals ac- tually taken have been sealed. Alp proximately 11000 beaver skins have been sealed by officers and represent atives of the commission, and it is es- timated that almost as many more re- main to be authenticated.
 The regulations under the Alaska game law provide that beaver legally taken in areas open for such taking during the month of May, 1927, must be presented to a game warden, game commissioner or other person author ized by the commission, and sealed within 90 days. This period is more than half closed, as it expires on Au- gust 29, 1927. All skins remaining un- sealed after that date are subject to seizure.
 A considerable number of skins have been seized by game wardens, as they were taken from beaver killed with shotguns, a method prohibited by law. in the taking of any fur-bearing ami mals. A good beaver skin from a trapped animal has an average value of about $50, while the same pelt from an animal killed with rife or shot gun depreciates about 50 per cent in value. Many skins from shotgun killed animals bring less than s10 showing that little extra time and labor on the part of trappers would thus pay them extremely we'll.
 To what extent beaver trapping will be permitted next year depends upon | the result of investigations now be- ing made by the commission. Every effort will be made to determine if the animals were too closely trapped in any of the areas open for trapping last spring, and if it is found that any of them have been depleted to such de- gree as to endanger the supply, such areas may be colsed next year. It is the hope of the commission that trap pers have been conservative and not cleaned out any district to the extent that it will be found necessary to pro- hibit trapping in it during next sea- son.

Selling Us to EurOpe

America has been fortunate in her choice of un-
official ambassadors to Europe. First there was
Lindbergh, whose tact and pose won host of
friends for this country. Then came Chamberlin
and Levine, who helped to bring Germany and this
country closer together. Now comes Byrd, and his
actions far indicate that he is q worthy member
Of the flying group.
Like Lndbergh Byrd has had little to say but
what he has said has been tactful and wel-chosen.
Considering the circumstances under which he fin
ally came to Europe. could expect just the OPP
poste. Not every man, after flying for hours in
mist, rain and sleet, then crashing into the sea to
lose valuable scientific data, could bear up under
the disappointment nobly as Byrd. Not every
. man could maintain his good humor and his cour-
teousness after such happening That Byrd has
done indicates the praise the French have be-
slowed him is we'll bestowed.
The government could profit by having few
Lindberghs, few Chamberlins, few Byrds on its
roster Of foreign representatives. What these men
have done and doing is to make US seem like
"home folks" not like the hostile nation miles
across the water. The flyers have sold the United
States to the common people of Europe. And, in
doing SO. they have accomplished more than regi-

Why They Don't Vote

The National Civic Federation is trying to find
out why 40 million eligible voters failed to vote at
important elections last year. 1t wants to know
how to bring about fuller participation in next
years presidential election.
AS step toward arousing greater interest in
public questions, the federation plans to create
mittees practical citizenship in every community
Of the country. 1t points out that despite the fact
many of us bewail the neffciency of our govern
ing bodies, fail to get out and vote in an effort
to reform them. And the federation makes this
pertinent statement tissues and men did not in
terest the voters
That is just precisely the trouble today. How
can one become enthusiastic about a candidate who
does nothing more than make a few speeches? The
old bayhoo methods of eavler days and the torch
light parades brought out a much greater percent
age of the vote simply because they novel
and interesting Mud-snging and violent perora-

not yet outmoded is shown by the success of Will
liam Hale Thompson's successful mayoralty cam
paign in Chicago. The bitter attack on King
labeled with the names Of Thompson's opponents

sonal matter For every voter.
1t is because we are running smoothly today that

Editorial Comment
More Money For Less Butter

(MinneanOlis JOurnall

The Federal Reserve bank finds that in the first
five months Of 1927 the northwest produced less
butter than in the same period last year. but re-
ceived more money for the smaller production than
for the larger.
In butter-makng, material prices reflect fin
ished product prices with peculiar precision Espe-
cially is this true in Minnesota, with its coopera-
tives. And Minnesota turns out approximately
fourfifths of the northwests aggregate if we list
Wisconsin as entirely in the middle west.
The Federal Reserve banks finding that north
west butter production fell off three per cent in VOL
ume, but increased eleven per cent in value in the
first five months of the present year, be inter-
preted then, as notice that the farmers cream
check represents higher return than last year on
a smaller investment Of labor and feed.
This hutter information in the Federal Reserve
banks Monthly Review will be bad news for small
group of gentlemen who have been running around
in circles trying to convince the northwest farmer
that even in his dairyng operations, his plight is
steadily growing worse, and that nothing can save
him except an unavoidable plan for an artificially
induced prosperity.
Not that the farmer is out of the woods by any
means. If the profit margin on his cream opera
tons is wider than at this time last year, that is
no sign that it is as wide margin as he is en-
titled to- But it is sign that he is on the road
to reasonable return, not only on his dairying,
but on other major products as WE'LL He is on the
road to reasonable profits, and he is walking that
road bravely and on his own feet. And his prog
ress would be measurably faster were it not for
the efforts-sometimes misguided and sometimes
politically selfish-of supposed friends trying to
thrust useless clutches into his hands.
The farmer is not as lame as these friends try
to make him think he is. But, even If he were, the
proffered clutches would splinter under his weight
and throw him clear off the road and into the ditch

tatons. II this was the only purpose why the
scholarships established, then they must be
considered failure.
But it is more pleasant to believe that Mr.
Rhodes expected something else to accrue to the
benefit Of those studying under his endowment 1t
is more pleasant to believe that he expected them
to return to this country with broadened outlook;
with greater tolerance; with greater affection for
foreign countries. In this, his expectations have
been fulfilled.
But to think that the young who Rhodes
scholars must because of that fact, become leaders
in American life, is to expect too much. Human
nature Is not that way. Some of them may become
prominent Others. the majority of them, may
not. But they most certainly filling a valued
position; they acting, to some extent and it

sages of tolerance and goodwill between Britain and
the United States.

The biggest item in production of pictures is ac-
tors salaries Sets and salaries of directors are
other items and these, too, due for cuts. The
progression of the movies has been marked by more
and more lavish backgrounds against which the

the concomitant of greatly increased salaries.

But when the Bowery theater was
in its heydey, the rough boys of the
neighborhood demanded that their
villains be villains, their heroes be
heroic and their hero,nes be op-
pressed.
Fellows who would spill gore in
every gutter betrayed their basic
sentimentalism in their attitude to-
ward the sweet gals who were for
ever being pursued" And they
wanted their endings to be happy.
Dramas that now grace the Broad
way theaters would have been
smashed to bits by the fits of the
burlies of ycsteryear.
Something more than a century ago
the Bowery theater opened its doors.
1t had. been the Bulls Head Tavern.
fashioned after the British pubs, and
it was q gathering place for drovers
and horse dealers. Daniel Drew, who
had come over from England to open
it. found himself engaged in horse
swapping and made a fortune from
cattle trading. The Tavern became
a theater and here was given "The
Road to Ruin" at 81 l-2 cents per
person, or two for six-bits.
Suddenly it became the salon Of
the drama in America, with Edwin
Forrest making his first American
appearance there.

good old-fashioned thriller was put
on. 1t was "Lafitte. the Pirate Of

q number of cannon shots were fired.

the theater was practically destroyed.
