DARK green, brown or an antique red

of conventional border at the top and

JARDINE's PROPOSED ALASKA VISIT.

The Department of Agriculture might be re- garded as Southeastern Alaskas landlord. Nearly all of the land area the vast forests, and, though indirectly the water power resources are under it's control and administration In a sense, Al askans of the Panhandle more or less tenants and have their dealings through the Forest Serv- ice, the agency of the landlord department
 It is for that that the tentative plans of Secretary Jardine to visit Alaska during the coming summer of deep interest to the peo- pie of this section. He has demonstrated his sin7 cere desire to bring about local development on more than occasion and in several ways. He has sanctioned the efforts of the Forest Service to promote utilization of Alaskan timber resources by the establishment of the pulp and paper manu- featuring industry. As earnest of his sin cerity he approved liberalization of contract requirements that makes it possible for the For est Service 10 offer great tracts of timber in competition with the crown grants of Canadian Provinces. He is seeking to reform admnistra- tive procedure that Government may be, as far as is possible under the conditions, actually Alaskan affair To this end he is striving to give local agents of the Department authority to handle all local matters, that is. leave the decision Alaskan questions in the hands of its representatives in Alaska, all of whom in point of residence property ownership and personal interest real Alaskans.
 As development waxes, there will be and more questions arising which will have to be dealt with by the Department. A personal ac- quaintance with the Territory and it's people is a desirable thing to have under the circumstances And it is to be hoped that Secretary Jardine can find the time, despite the fact that it is Pres- dential election year, to pay extensive visit to this Northland The Chamber of Commerce was timely in issuing its invitation for local visit. Other commercial and civic organizations would do well to follow it's lead.

Three Pious Men.
(New York WorId.)

MT Borah has now put his Prohibition ques- tions to three Presidential candidates and had three answers. Let us what they do to clear the air of hypocrisy in the matter of enforce ment.
 Senator Curtis of Kansas. first on Mr Borab's list tells MT. Borah that Prohibition is a splendid thing, the greatest moral issue of the ages" and promises that if he is elected President he will favor meeting the issue of enforcement squarey.9
 Senator Willis of Ohio pledges himself to put forth every effort to see to it that the Eighteenth Amendment is obeyed observed and respected. That is my attitude now. and would continue to be exactly the same in the event of nomination and election"
 Now Secretary Hoover, calling Prohibition "a great social and economic experiment noble in motive and far-reaehing. in purpose" promises to support the Volstead Act and to favor efficient, vigorous and sincere enforcement"
 Three very dry gentlemen, one might think: yet what do they really say?
 boes Senator Curtis take note of the fact that the S30,000, 900 appropriated annually TOT enforcement is admittedly mere pittanee of what enforcement needs and promise that if he is elected President he will urge Congress to sun- port Prohibition at whatever cost even though this cost runs above $30, 900 900 annually? No Senator Curtis does mention details. He merely fayors meeting the issue squarely"
 Does Senator Willis point out that the central problem in enforcement is how to nrevent mil lions or gallons of industrial alcohol from being diverted to illegal purposes and suggest any way m whlch bewildered Government which has ,aHeu to solve the problem under Coolidge could nope to solve the problem under Willis? No MT Willis is only going to put forth every ef- iort to see to 1t that the Eighteenth Amendment IS obeyed, observed and respectedp
 Does Secretary Hoover take note of the fact that the friends of Prohibition believe the present law to be ineffective and agree with them in demanding new teeth in the law new penalties. new punishments, new invasions of personal lib- erty' new interpretations of the law of search '' ana u seizure! No MT Hoover is simply for efficient, vigorous and sincere enforcement D vii he tell how?
 Not one or these gentlemen has said anything that promises to make the slightest dent in the hypocrisy which now surrounds the issue of enloreehehe .li Not one of them has said anything that cannot safely be forgotten Prohibiton may pc the greatest moral issue of the ages" But m the matter of enforcement, pious generalities which mean nothing the order of the day

INvENTING A RECORD.

Not being able to find anything in the record to the Eighteenth Amendment, Anti-Saloon League officers seem bent in bestowing on him one that will suit their views In St Peters burg, Fla, F. Scott Mcbride, Superintendent of that organization, reiterated charge that Gov Smith had declared, at Vanderbilt Hotel dinner few years ago. the Democratic Party is saloon party that everybody knew it and that it was time for the party to come out and
 This alleged statement first bruited about last month by some minor League officer in a Boston speech Commenting on 1t, the New York Times rejected it false and challenged the League to name the persons present and fix definitely the date which the dinner held. The Times further said it had searched it's own records, the files in it's library, and could find account of any such declaration, of any statement that could be interpreted to that, anywhere. Until such time as the League can substantiate it's charge with something more definite than dinner few years ago. those who wish to be reasonable and fair will discredit it's assertions. And unless it is able to fix the date and produce creditable witnesses who heard the alleged statement, it should either retract its charge be branded as the crculator of malicious falsehood with intent to injure one whose public service to the people of his State has far outweghed any performed by his would be detractors

THE CAvELL PICTURE.

The latest of the so-called pictures, Dawn" depicting the life and death of the martyr nurse Edith Cavell has aroused storm of protest. Filmed in England. it's showing is declared to have stirred up intensive bitterness against Germany. An American. Arch Sewyn, has bought the rights of showing for the United States and is seeking to place it before the American public. With the announcement of Selwyn's intention, many prominent Americans have announced their opposition to it's exhibition in this country Among those antagonistic to it were Mayor James J. Walker of New York City; James w. Gerard former Ambassador to Germany; pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Colum- bia University, Otto H. Kahn, and Senator w. F. Borah. Generally these leaders took the posi- tion voiced by Dr. Butler, who sad:

Great American.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The United States has reason to feel very proud and grateful for the showing made at Havana by the nations delegates to the Havana conference. Great strides forward have been taken in the direction of continental amity and understanding. The strong of the southern republics met with our own on friendly, earnest terms of accord and cooperation. It was the greatest session of the Pan-American Congress yet held. What accomplished makes momentous history. Especially it matter for felicitation that the United States and Brazil saw so nearly eye to eye with reference to the great questions and problems which came before the convention.
 It is believed that in the recent session of the Congress the position of the United States was made so plain that there be hereafter no doubt concerning it. Particularly contrbutive to this end was the remarkable and outstanding work of Charles Evans Hughes Chairman of the American deegation who the confidence, respect and applause of the representatives of all the nations assembled at the Cuban capital
 MT Hughes more than justified the faith of this Government and people in his address and abilities as major spokesman with reference to the affairs of the Western Hemisphere He it was who stood up and answered every criticism of American policies, who presented the arguments of reason why this Government and all the gov ernments of the south should merge their des- tlnles In so far as such union may be possible. Ills was the clear, incisive logic which dispeled the clouds and vapors of illegitimate suspicion and distrust of our national intent and policies. It was, perhaps, the triumph of the former great Secretary of States public career Indissolubly knit with the history of his country now are the threads of his deeds and achievements at Havana; already they had been conspicuous, but 1t was in the late congress that they took on their brightest luster
 II America is great and clean and strong; II it's relationships with the other nations of this hemisphere are unselfsh and honorable and gen erous, protective and helpful--as we know them to be-Charles Evans Hughes deserves the credit lof having convinced the southern nations of the truth or the fact. It is pleasure to accord honor to so great Americana.

 fulness.
 H. L. Meneken, who has been accused among other things of being pro-German takes just the opposite position. In his usual forceful style, he said
 l am very strongly against trying
 to prevent the showing of the Cavell
 picture. The German Government will
 be very badly advised if it tries to pro
 mote friendly relations between Ger
 many and the United States by inter-
 fering with the right of the American
 people to see, say and think whatever
 they please. I assume that the pie
 ture is swinish and abominable but
 am unalterably against any effort to stop
 it's showing.
 theoretically there is disputlng Mr Menc- kens position. official censorship of matters of this kind is abominable But from practical standpoint, there is little to be said for com mercalzation of the Cavel tragedy through the medium of a moving picture. It can but tend to engender bitterness where sympathy is the crying need of the day. We believe with Senator Borah the attitude of the American people should be adverse 10 its showing.
