Harnessing the Tides.
Seattle Times. )


 The Coast and Geodetic Survey admonishes nervous persons, who fear that the diminishing stores of coal and oil will leave posterity with no resources for commercial power, to be of good cheer There is enough potential power in the ocean tides to supply the world with energy. In fact, this of power would be tapped today if the cost of development were compar- able with land power plants.
 Unless sources of power opened up by inventors the time will when engineers will harness the tides They have done it in a small way already. tide mill the River Tamar in England has been continuously in operation since 1790. Just engineers are nous tides in the Bay of Fundy, where the range is normally forty-fve feet and where spring tides give range of fifty feet. The ceaseless rise and fall of the in this of the ocean produces enormous energy.
 Engineers believe that places the coast where the tidal range is more than ten feet offer possibilities for electrical installation Such To- calites Turnagain Arm and Knk Arm at the head of Cook Inlet in Alaska, could be made to produce enough electrical energy to operate vast industries in the Northland The tidal range in those arms of the compares with that in the Bay of Fundy
 The statement of the Coast and Geodetic Sur vey is reassuring. Long before faced with a power famine we can put the tides to work. We go ahead through many kilo- watt hours with no misgvings about posterity.

WILL THE PEOPLE ELECT
 MIR. GRIGSBY?

The reports that come from Nome and Fair banks make it apparent that if all those who favor the election of George B. Grigsby for Dele gate to Congress CT the retirement from that position of Delegate Sutherland will organize and work for the next few weeks with a zeal commensurate with the stake at issue we may have new deal It is not only possible to elect Mir Grigsby and defeat MT. Sutherland but it can be done if all those who desire that result will do all within their power to bring it about
 Mr Grigsby is running a progressive plat form--one that stands for the government of Alaska by the people of the Territory and within her own boundaries. He would bring the goy- ernment to the people most concerned in if. And that is, it has been for many years, the most desreable thing in connection with government in Alaska.
 Mir Grgsby is able he knows the Territory inside and out and he is as right on the issues golden guinea. He will be able to get results at Washington
 Consderd completely aside from whatever might be the results in the National election the people of Alaska have much to gain and nothing "a lose in the election of Mr. Grigsby. MT su therland has no standing in either the Repub- iean or the Democratic Party He has officially, ard for the record, called the Republican Presi- dental nominee trickster and crook, and, as .lr. Grigsby said at Fairbanks, by mplica- ton a thief. He has program except the offices for his gang. He does not want self government. He is afraid to trust the people. On ue other hand, MT. Grigsby would go to the National capital with the backing of one of the great parties and the respect and confidence of the other party. He has a definite platform, and he stands fairly and squarely for the gov- efn0t It of Alaska by the resident people of the goritory.
 Under the circumstances. every friend of c,1a every independent voter who would AL aska from the menace of machine political methods, every one who stands for progress, ir- respective of his political affiliations ought to take his coat off and work for the election of MT. Grigsby to be next Delegate to Congress.

BETTING ODDS DO NOT TELL MUCH

Seattle newspaper says the betting in Seattle is at the ratios of ten to eight that Gov. Hartley will be reelected, three to two that Judge Macintosh will be elected Senator over Senator Dill and two to one that Hoover will win
 Betting odds are generally in the long run, determined by the amount of money that is of fered for wager For instance if one should go into Seattle with million dollars to bet on Bullitt Dill and Smith he would be unable to get the money placed at the odds quoted and in the end, if he wanted to be certain to get action his money, he would probably have to offer odds. That would not change the chances of any candidates for victory
 One cannot, therefore tell very much about the prospects of any candidate by the betting odds. Six years ago the betting was four to one that Senator Poindexter would defeat Dill and even money that he would have 40 GOO majority. few years ago the betting was eight to one to start with that Mayor Gill would defeat George F. Cotterill for Mayor In both the favorite in the betting lost In 1916 the odds were in favor of Hughes in New York until Tex Rckard made up a pool of half million to bet Wilson, and the odds were changed.

A Lenient Sentence.
(Cincinnati Enquirer. ]


 flood of amazed indignation has been oc- casioned by the remarkable sentence imposed rpon the once-celebrated feminist, Mrs Florence Knapp who Secretary of State of New York was accused of stealing and converting to her own use the sum of s3O,OOO tried and convicted of the offense.
 Mrs Knapp had been a leader in the higher education of women. She highly honored by the electors of her State. She betrayed her trust and stole from the taxpayers of New York the sum of money indicated. For this superior larceny she was entenced to serve 30 days in jail for every thousand dollars she purloined she must spend day in common jail; as a matter of fact, as a member of Sheriffs family!
 And yet there is wonder expressed over the fact that people increasingly are falling in their respect for the law and it's processes!
 This sentence palpaby is pervision of judi cial sanction a sentence which defeats every end and purpose of exact justice and outrages and insults the unfortunate taxpaying public of the State this lady was convicted of having plum dered
 Had man committed the crime of which this woman was accused, and for which she con- victed, he would most probably, have received the limit of the law for his offense. The Court should extend to the lady vote of thanks for having had the privilege to try her. The lady might reciprocate by expressing her gratitude for the chivalry, leniency and foolishness of the Court

More Or.Iess, True

 The reason there isn't any use of father needing new clothes is because mother and daughter must have more clothes.
 Legs revealed by the short skirts gave the world a big laugh, but legs that would be revealed by short pants probably would make 1 it simply scream with laughter.
 The more important and sborabas- tic man acts the safer it is to bet his wife is wearing the cast off clothes of her rich sister-in. law
 It's an ideal home if after father and mother have spent the eve ming together they both still are in good humor when the lights are turned out for the night.
 The gold fish may not listen to father any better than the rest oi the family but at least he can talk to them without having them tell | him where to head in. No matter how crazy a woman is about precious stones consis. teney is one jewel she is willing to get along without. When a man marries he gets 6 partner for his joys and sorrows | but not a silent one. The number of grass widows who marry again is proof that there are plenty of women who don't believe men are all alike. When a woman has an operation the chances are she doesn't suffer as much or as long going through l it as her friends do afterwards lis tening to her talk about It. It is getting hair done up in a knot on the back of woman's 5 head to look as funny as whiskers on mans chin do

AMBUSHING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Who told those Montana Indians that MT. Hoover had treated the Alaska Indians very badly and, apparently, induced them to decide to vote against the Republican Presidential can ddate? The story the Montana Indians told Gov Smith sounds much like their information might have come from MT Sutherland and MT Paul who the dominant factors on the so- called Republican ticket in Alaska Are these so-called Republicans of Alaska trying to ambush and shoot in the back the Republican National Party? If that is what claim have they to the support of real Republicans in the Ter ritory?

Mrs. Willebrandt Should Be Removed
lChicago Tribune. ]

In one instance Gov. Smith soundly, and that is in his reference to Mrs. Mabel Wille- brandt Assistant Attorney General who has been given much to do in the Prohibition enforce ment. In what she said to the Ohio Methodist Conference, by any construction of her language, she appealed to religious prejudices and urged that they be stirred and used against the Democratic candidate. It is act for which official should be removed from office. Gov. Smith says that the silence of the Administration gives sanction, and that stands as an effective charge until it is answered equally effectively.
