FORESTRY BUREAU AND ITS CRITIC

The other day The Empire reprinted an item from the Wrange Sentinel which quoted MT. Olts one of the Paul candidates for a Republi- can nomination for Representative. in which the Forestry Bureau criticised for entering into contracts with George T. Cameron, publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle. and associates and the Zellerbachs for the lease of timber tracts to enable them to enter the pulp and paper business in Alaska This criticism is in the face of the subsequent activity displayed by those who pro- ject the development.
 MT. Olts does not, fortunately, represent any extensive element of public opinion in this mat ter. Thoughtful people of Southeast Alaska know that the next forward step in the develop ment of Alaska must come through the utiliza- tion of her forests, and they fully appreciate the splendid efforts that have been put forth by the Forestry Bureau and other officials in Alaska to attract the interest of those who are in posi- tion to develop the timber resources. If the For estry Bureau in Alaska had never done anything else that was worth while its activities in at tracting the interest of MT. Cameron and his associates, the Zeerbachs and other pulp and paper interests to the potentialites of South east Alaska, they would be entitled to the grati- tude of all those who seeking to develop a commonwealth in this Territory.

PROGRESS OF THE WORLD.

This year marks the centenary of the birth of Jules Verne who became famous writer and, among other things sent Phineas Fogg on an S0-days trip round the world. In celebration of the Verne centennial year a fifteen -year-old Dan sh boy, Pale Huld, hSs set forth all alone to circumnavigate the world in forty-sx days. He purposes to only the regular lines of trans portation buying his tickets from port to port and town to town via steamship or railroad or automobile the occasion might suggest. Forty years ago read of the adventures of Phineas Fogg and marvelled at the freaksh imagination of the great French novelist. Today regard the trip of the Danish lad, out in the world alone, much matter-of-course that we have forgotten whether the starting point of his journey was Copenhagen or Harwich.

More or Less True

 Now and then a couple gives you the impression they married so they could quit going out with each other.
 The fact that a woman spends as much time trying to make over her complexion and figure as she does her husband proves he is merely one of the many things that don't suit her.
 If the girls who are not built for the short ones could wear long skirts we always would know every girl wearing long one had funny legs, but we at least couldn't see how funny they were.
 Whenever we see a display of pretty silk hosiery we are thank full girls. always have worn stock ings instead of socks. The hose supporters for socks are anything but things of beauty, and the girls surely would look awful wearing such things with the present style of skirts.
 The actor who impersonates a woman these days doesn't have to make much change in his appear ance.
 If science wants to make a hit with a large part of the gentle sex it will find a way of eating without the result showing on the scales.
 You would get tired of cake if you had it at every meal and legs were more interesting when they were a treat.
 One thing that saves the world from being an even worse place to live in is that most of the kids whose parents make them take music lessons refuse to touch the piano and violin after they grow up.
 Marriage is not a failure, but a lot of husbands and wives are. Mother feels about the same to- ward a sink full of dishes as faith CT does toward desk full of bills.

WHEN "RUM, ROMANCE AND REBEL

book, 'Rum Romance and Rebellion, !"
 by Charles William Taussig is one of the latest of the truth revealing" historical works to at the traffic in the United States with par ticular reference to it's effect the political, social and industrial life of the country. It is worth noting that the writer generally speak ing, limits the meaning of rum to that par ticular beverage. He shows direct connection between the rum and the slave traffic and he says that both of them largely centered in New England with Boston the particular port of importance. The author contends that both the and slave dealers regarded re- spectable in their days, though there was some feeling against those slave dealers that over crowded their human freight cargoes other wise abused the slaves. However, only once, he says Boston slave ship required to take its cargo back to Africa and that because the slaves purchased there Sunday and therefore, not properly his property. Taus- sig shows that Washington. business man
 recognized both the rum and slave trafics as legitimate. In fact, he engaged to $ slight ex

GOLFERS WIN LEGAL
BATTLE, WITHDRAW
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

PHILADELPHIA, August Am the
extra and judicial round of the national
public links championship played in
Common Pleas Court here yesterday il
seemed to me that while the lawyers
employed knew their own game, they
we're only average golfers. 1t took them
almost four hours to go around the
course If Judge MacNeille had not
Clipped in with niblick shot now and
then. they might stil be in the rough.
The final score was In favor of Rob-
ert p. Ball and Elmer Stout. the col
ored golfers. who were disqualified on
Wednesday for alleged infringements OF
the rules.
Judge MacNeille held that while
there was no evidence of prejudice or
tliscourtesy on the part of the officials
there also was insufficient evidence of
the violation of the rules. He ordered
the two golfers reinstated This meant,
in effect, that the tournament either
had to cease. move to another IuriSdic-
ton or be played over.
Then Ball. a slender. dark butcher
from Chicago. and Stout, the stock,
light landscape gardener from New
ark. advised by some Of the ableSt men
of their race. proved that craftsmanship
is not matter OF any one creed or
color.
They declared that vindication and
Justice were the things for which they
had fought. and that having been OBJ
tanned. they had no desire further to
embarrass the golf authorities or to IN
terfere with the progress of the tourna-
ment. thus Furnishing innocent PLAYERS
who had already won matches. Hav-
Ing established their right to play in the
tournament for which their entries had
been accepted. they retired voluntarily
from competition,
