TAMMANY GETS CERTIFICATE OF
 CHARACTER.

Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the University of Michigan, Executive Secretary for Hiram John son when he Governor of California and later City Manager of San Jose, expert on municipal government. leading discussion at the Institute of Public. Affairs at the University of Virginia, gave modern Tammany certificate of good character. He declared that it is not the old Tammany. He said that it is led
 by learned who imbued with the spirit of service, and he dwelt approvngy on the high atainments and character of Judge Olvany Tam many leader. He called attention to the fact that Mayor Walker and President Mckee of the Board of Aldermen, Acting Mayor in the absence of Mayor Walker. college men, Mckee having been college professor before he be- lawyer. He declared that New York is better governed than any great city in the United States. He placed Detroit second in his list Philadelphia and Chicago he said, were competing for the last place among the principal cities He said they "yery bad" All the others participating in the discussion, most of them from the South and West agreed with Prof. Reeds analysis and estimate of Tammany.

A POLICY OF SANITY.

The attitude of Paul Redington, new head of the Biological Survey, meets with the appro- bation of the people of Alaska Mir Redington says it is his purpose to cooperate with the Alaska Game Commission, and to give it freer hand in solving problems within it's jurisdiction. While the preservation of. wild fife will continue to receive the vligant support of the Bological Survey, the need for the reliance placed upon it for food by those in remote sections and the menace to development in othr sections will re- ceive recognition. Common rather than sentimentalism will control
 That is a sort of sanity that will appeal to the people of the North, and it is policy that will win the support of the people for efforts to prevent wasteful and useless slaughter of wild animals and birds and add to enthusiasm for conservation and perpetuaton of wild life.
 It already is apparent that the people of Alaska approve of MT. Redington. They have found in him a red-blooded man whose under standing begets understanding. There will be no quarrel between the new Director of the Bio logical Survey and the people of this Territory.

HaiiDul Occasion Anxiety.
Seattle Times.)


 Fish can't think very we'll They don't have to. If the best of them dependent on themselves for protection, they would be in great danger of extinction; but their welfare is Ia matter of governmental anxiety, which tends to their conservation.
 Recently salmon have received Federal atten- tion and the season for taking them was abruptly shortened Now halibut fishing may be sub jected to strict regulations
 Of the worlds annual yield of halibut, 5O,- 000000 pounds, or so per cent of the whole comes from North Pacific waters, chiefly Alaskan and British Columbia Yearly catches have shown no important changes lately, but this is due to the activity of fishermen in continually moving to more northerly banks after having exhausted other grounds If present practices permitted to go unchecked, the supply will gradually suffer depletion.
 American and Canadian authorities are con ferring the situation. Inasmuch as artificial propagation of halibut is impracticable and as control of the food supply or the natural enemies of the fish is impossible officials limited to regulating the catch so that it may not ex- ceed natural increase
 Halibut require from eight to eighteen years to mature. Once depleted, their restoration would be difficult, if feasible at all They live an aver age of twenty-five years. But that isn't long enough to teach them how to take of them selves.

THE PLAN FOR A HOUSE OF
 GOVERNORS.

The proposal of Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland that there be established House of Governors to guard against the encroachment of Federal authority upon the rights of the sep arate States is attracting wide attention. Gov. Ritchie contends that there has been such an encroachment far beyond the plans of those who formulated the Federal Constitution. and that government by the people and efficiency in government have suffered accordingly He be- leves that House of Governors through moral influence and educational campaigns could dis courage further expansion of Federal power at the expense of the States and eventually bring about the return to the States of many activities that the Federal Government has assumed. One |of the effective methods advocated by him to awaken public opinion to the advantage of ac- centuating the activities of the State Govern ments, and thus of bringing government back tc the people. is for the House of Governors to bring about cooperation among the States in ths assumption of governmental work that has beer abandoned to the Federal bureaus

DRYS PLAN ATTACKING COOLIDGE
 AND MELLON.

Eastern editors and Washington newspaper correspondents declare that the purpose of the dry leaders is to put President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon the carpet during the next session of Congress, and to demand of them and Congress that but certified 100 per cent. drys be appointed to any branch of the Govern ment service. Former Gov. Pinchots declara- tion in his Winona Lake speech interpreted to that the entire Government service from top to bottom should be composed solely of drys who do not break the law themselves and who believe in the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act and their enforcement, is said to meet with the complete approval of the dry leaders, and to be expression of their pur- pose for the future. It will be remembered that in this speech Pinchot attacked President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon for lack of good faith in the enforcement of Prohibition.

The Iide oI Tourists.
(New York World.) ]


 Julius klein's statement in Paris that Ameri- can tourists will spend S650,000000 abroad this year may at first sight startling. This sum exceeds the value of imports from all South America; it is than half the value of our imports from Europe. Yet it is conservative Canada and the West Indies usually estimated at $150 100000. This would leave 500,000,- GOO as the Old World harvest. sum which can he roughly checked up reasonable.
 h the last four years American visitors to Europe. indicated by passport visas and steamship statistics, have been coming steadily closer to the 300, 900 mark. If they reach that mark this year. the average expenditures would need to be only about S1,650 to aggregate half billion. The 50,000 more teachers and stu dents who travel by the tourist third class do not spend that much, but tens of thousands of rich Americans spend far more. Some of them bring back jewels, gowns and works of art cost ing small fortunes The chief market for these luxures is France, and MT. Klein estimates that American tourists will leave $250,000,000 in that republic.
 The immense increase in tourist expenditure since the war is partly offset by the undetermined decrease in sent home to Europe by newly arrived immigrants Nevertheless, it remains highly important. When read that the re- mote City of Copenhagen had nearly 5000 Am erican tourists in one year can realize what the patronage means.

Navigation on Upper Mississippi.
(Kansas City Post.)

Carrying 1000 tons of freight the S. s. Thorpe and the Gen. Allen, each towing two barges, docked at St. Paul last night eight days after leaving St. Louis and sixteen hours ahead of schedule This maiden trip of the two river vessels indicates that no serious obstacles exist to the development of river traffic big scale in this country.
 The fleet belongs to the Government Barge Service As pointed out by Major Gen. T. O. Ashburn, head of the Inland Waterways Cor poration, when he arrived in St. Paul with the feet the trip made in the lowest stage of the season.. This means that river trans portaton on the Upper Mississippi is entirely feasible and that reduced freight rates to both farmers and business of the Middle West is at hand.
