Fitting Tribute to General Steese.
Seward Gateway.)

Announcement from Juneau to the effect that the Board of Alaska Road Commissioners has by resolution directed that the Circle City highway from Fairbanks north to Circle City shall here after be called Steese Highway in honor of Genera steese, former head of the Alaska Road Commission and the man who first conceived the building of the road to the land of the midnight sun The action taken on the anniversary of General Steese's relief from duty with the commission, in message from Major Malcom Elliott, present President of the Com mission, to Superintendent Eide in Seward
 This is fitting compliment and graceful trlbute to the man who had so much to do with laying out and executing much of Alaska's first comprehensive road program, and who stood at the helm of many governmental agencies includ ing the General Managershp at one time of the Alaska Railroad
 During the period of his activities in the territory he was mighty busy and efficient worker In addition to his duties at President of the Alaska Road Commission he carried alec the labors Of consulting engineer and superin- tendent of construction and repair of any aids to navigation in the Sixteenth District including the Territory of Alaska; district engineer re porting direct to the Chief of Army Engineers. consulting engineer and in charge of All Terri toflal puDhc works; served a member of the Alaska Council until 1923; by lhiormai arrangement with the Department of the interior acted for that Department on matters relating to the improvement of the Sitka Ma tonal Monument, and the deyeIopment of tbe Mehlnley National Park; by request of the same General Steese reported upon the matter of the control of Lowell Creek in Seward: represented the Quartermaster General of the Army in tbe administrator of he Sitka National Cemetery. supervised construction of the water sunn1v eve tenn at Chikoot Barracks
 AS said in an editorial in the Seward Gate way or Nov 29 1926, the result of this con sol1dation of functions was to secure exnedition w increase in costs and fuller knowledge ot the entire Territory and it's problems
 To General Steeses efforts was due tbo oa Ion Of road program at the outset calling for ! lO-year period with annual appronriation of l,ooV'ooo While he not always secured the uli amount he approximated it closely.

SUTHERLAND WANTS ONE MAN
 CONTROL.

MT. Sutherland admits in his speeches that he favors the control of the Alaska fisheries by one man with the power to make regulations having the effect of law He insists that the only quarrel he has with the situation in AL aska is that the wrong is Commissioner of Fisheries
 In other words MT Sutherland favors govern ment by men rather than government by law. That is fundamental difference between republi- can government and monarchy. The former is the government of the people through laws made by their own representatives. Monarchy is gov ernment by men
 MT Sutherland says throughout the world the fisheries controlled by one man. Every country, he declared, has that system and then he cited the situation in Canada to prove his contentious He strictly refraned from citing an American to eorroborate his assertion He probably did not do so for the reason that in the United States the fisheries are under the control of the separate State Legislatures He does not know much about American government and the American way of doing things, but he ought to know that much. In Washington and Oregon and other American States the people control the fisheries through local law-making bodies
 The countries of Europe where there is control by National legislative bodies, the countries are small in and the legislative bodies are easily reached by the people. Their fisheries are not controlled by bureau chief located from 1000 to 5000 miles more from them.
 As Mir Grigsby made plain in his speech at Wrangell, and at Juneau and the other points at which he spoke his position is diametrically opposed to that of MT. Sutherland. He believes that the people of Alaska, the people who are directly interested in the fisheries ought to con trol them, and he promises to do all within his power to bring that control to them
 MT Sutherland wants bureau chief to con trol, but would like to name the chief

WALKER OUGHT TO BE ELECTED.

Perhaps the leading citizen of Ketchikan, measured by interest in public matters and civic anairs, III influence and popularity is Norman h' walker That means Mr. Walker is second to none in the Division in importance He has been resident of Ketchikan for many years He IS merchant, druggist who has made good. His welfare depends upon the welfare of the sec lion from which he gets his trade. There is no line of merchandising which trades with nearer loo per cent. of the population than the drug business MT. Walker has, therefore made a very close study of legislative needs-needs of people of all vacations, classes and sections He IS working for his own best interest when he serves them All his interests in Alaska.
 MT Walker ought by all means to be a member of the next Alaska Legislature He should be elected Senator by very large majority

PRESIDENT EMERITUS OF YALE ON
 PROHIBITION.

LIT. Arthur Twining Hadley, President Emeri- tus of Yale University, dean of American eduea- tors since the death of Dr. Charles w. Eliot. Is so strongly convinced that the failure of Pro hipltlon to accomplish what was expected of it presents the political issue of greatest moment in the United States. that he will vote for Gov. Smith for President.
 Dr. Hadley stated his position in letter dated October and written for publication. Among other things, Dr. Hadley said:
 The object of the Eighteenth Amend
 mend was to stop drunkenness and pro-
 mote public order The amendment
 and its enforcing statute the Volstead
 Act have not only failed to secure
 either of these results but have failed
 so conspicuously as to produce disrespect

 public officials alike. For at least five
 years It has been the paramount duty
