WAYNE WHEELER AND HIS WORK.

Wayne B. Wheeler who died the other day at Battle Creek Michigan, is one who prospered by capitalizng Reform He became well to do by leading a temperance movement into politics and becoming the leader of the bloc after it had gained foothod the political map. As the leader of his political bloc he played the game" other professional politicians play it., collecting a fat salary and using the profit making opportunities that showed themselves as he progressed
 Wheeler born at Brookheld Ohio, 5S years ago He was graduated from 0berlip when he 25 and given his law degree by the Western Reserve University at R. He was put the payroll of temperance society before he had gone through college and the first per to be employed for pay by the Anti-Saloon League. He had drawn a salary from that or ganizaton from it's beginning until his death He was propagandist for forty years and was paid for his time and talent for every day of the four decades In politics he Republ- can but his last big work was devosed to an effort to defeat Gov Smith for the Democratic Presidential nomination
 Wheeler was politician of more than ord- nary ability. No politician was ever so successful in raising campaign funds. Under his direction the Anti-Saoon League collected and expended for political purposes far more money than the combined campaign funds of the Republican and Democratic parties in the same length of time. The latest estimate is that the campaign funds raised by Mir. Wheeler's political bloc exceeded $17,O00 O00 in less than years-more than $2,50o.O0 per year These estimates were based upon the testimony developed by the recent Senatorial campaign funds investigation.
 MT Wheeler's skill and practical political methods probably did more than any other one thing to bring about the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment and the passage of the Volstead Act He energetic, skillful and not squeamish about the methods employed to win. Success was always his objective

MINDS CONTROLLED BY "Hoo-Doo.s

pretended authority Alaska fisheries which insists that only salmon caught in traps .deplete the fish supply that the contehtioft ft that the salmon run this year was two weeks so late is all wrong. It declares that the fish coming in because the traps have been closed and longer catching all the salmon that enter the estuaries before they reach the spawning streams.
 The funny part of this is that the traps did not catch any fish to speak of, except in Icy Strait and tributary waters where they were late in beginning All the traps combined in the areas that reached through estuaries south of Chatham Strait did not take enough salmon during the fishing season to- fill 300,000 cases-not more than enough to make fair packs for three four-line canneries. If any one can figure how traps that not catching fish can prevent the escapement of salmon he must be relying on some sort of 'hoo-doo" or "witchery.'

WHY AMERICANS VISIT EUROPE AT
 A SACRIFICE OF COMFORT.

The Manchester Guardian takes considerable pains to explain why many Americans leave their better climate and regular supply of iced water (we call it ice-water) to visit Europe. Thanks for the compliment for climate and comfortable ice habit.
 The Guardian concludes that Americans go over to Europe to acquire sense of time and historical perspective and suggests that by this time we have been taught good deal more about Europe than is known by most Europeans. Thanks for that implication too.
 The Guardians editorial the subject is short and worth reproducing. It is:
 The United States Department of Commerce has issued figures indicating
 that visitors from the States to Europe
 last year spent the prodgious sum of
 e170,00 GOO their holiday There
 is slight set-on in the fact that
 European visitors to the States expend-
 ed f23,O0o000. That is feeble reply
 and the visitors left with balance
 handsomely hundred million. Their divagations must by have
 taught them a good deal more about
 Europe than is known by most Euro
 peans and it is interesting matter
 for speculation what indace them
 to leave even temporarily, country
 endowed with incomparably better
 climate and regular supply of iced
 water It is strong love that brings them over in such numbers and at such
 expense. The visitor from the States

 expect that a lot of pressure will
 be brought to bear me to reopen the
 season. But I've said my piece, and I'm
 going to stick to it.
 MT O'Maley is United States Commissioner of Fisheries. II is his business to enforce regu- ations calculated to conserve the fishing in dustry. Therefore, in the face of diminishing returns and smaller packs, his views are bound to clash with those of men who have large in vestments in ships tackle and canneries
 This opposition of interest brings strikingly forward the fact that there are two approaches to the question: One is of the present, the other of the future the one relates to the immediate run of fish, the other to the long run Of time
 The pack of fish in the North this year has been spotted Packers in some districts have prospered those operating in other areas are facing ruin The easy thing to do would be for Mr O.Malley to reopen the season and permit those who have suffered misfortune to recoup their losses in measure.
 It must be assumed, however, that the Com missioner has studied the situation He has reached the conclusion that the future or the industry demands restrictions which, unfor- tunately are bound to result in loss to some of those Who have large investments and who, quite naturally, desire to protect them
 Modern methods of taking fish have out stripped their powers of reproduction In less than twenty years Alaskan fishermen have seen salmon runs decrease to the point of marked reduction in all districts and almost to exhaus- ton in some.
 It is unfortunate that single investor en- gagged in exploiting important a source oi food supply should lose. But fishing IS one oi the most important industries to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest Mr OMalley believes that the way to preserve it where 1t is yet proht- able and to- restore it where it is not, IS to enforce well-considered restrictions. Evidently his belief grows out of study of condltohs Therefore his determination to carry out meas ures of conservation should be accepted as a Icommendable exercise of authority.
