A WILSON MONUMENT.

On July A. in Prague, capital of Czecho- slovakia, the natal day of the United States was observed by the dedication of new memorial in front of the Wilson railway station, the prin- cipal station of the city. It was also the tenth anniversary of the Czechoslovakia Republic and was celebrated with impressive ceremonies.
 This is a reminder in many parts of the world, ten years after the armistice that ended the World Way Woodrow Wilson is enthroned in tradition and sentiment great world figure, probably the most striking of his day and age. In Czechosovaka, for instance, which is in many ways the soundest and best governed and most promising of all the new countries set up independently after the war Wilson is in way both the George Washington and the Lafayette of the nation.

Alaska's Fur Industry.
Seattle Times.)

In an interview at Seward, R. II. Anderson a business man of Southwestern Alaska, said that the fur industry was a detriment the Territory because prospectors prefer the easier life of the trapper to the harder toll of banning the gravel the creeks. He said there was shortage of prospectors.
 garded by anybody as a curse to Alaska is ratKer startling. One imagines that the prospectors take up trapping because they can make live to the value of Alaska's exports In 1927 the to $42S7,500. Blue fox skins valued at $6S1- shipped to the States The value of the seal skins taken last year was $5O8, 8,00O
 The development df Alaska has brought about several important changes in recent year. Up to 1927 minerals valued at $571, 100000 were taken from Alaska The peak of the mineral production was in 1916 when the output reach ed $4S,O00,0 000 In 1926 the salmon canneries produced $4s,O0O,OOO, which, however, was an exceptional yield.
 Commercial fur culture is likely to be one of Alaska's leading industries. There are more than 400 fur farms in Alaska, representing an investment of $6,000,000 recently enacted law makes it possible for fur farmers to lease sec tions of the public domain. Eventually their output should exceed in value the wilder catch from the trappers' runs.
 In the meantime there need be no special worry over the tendency of prospectors to aban- don their trade to find easier living trapping fur-bearing animals. That phase of Alaska s economic life will adjust itself in due time

THE SALMON RUN.

The indications that the Southeast Alaska salmon run this year will be large News from all sections of the district are that salmon are coming in in quantities that are comparable with the large 1926 run. Those connected with the fisheries industry and others at Ketchkan are in high spirits, and similar condition prevails at Wrangell and other points. News from the ley Strait and Cross Sound region is that the run is more than satisfactory-one of the largest in history.
 Following, as it does, the light run of last year this situation is than usually satis- factory While 1927 was not by any means the only year of salmon failure, or part failure, and thoughtful people could see reason for alarm account of it, yet there is always apprehension after such year until the experience is plotted out by large run. The condition this year is having the effect of dissipating the gloom that the failure of last year caused.
 Fishing is the leading industry of the Alaska coast When it is prosperous times are good, and it is prosperous when plenty of fish come in. The fish are coming in and good times will follow
 Juneau is not completely dependent upon the fishing industry as are most of the South east Alaskan communities, yet it furnishes large part of the business of this place. We have big gold mining industry centering here, including the great Alaska Juneau mine but also have an important salmon canning and fresh fish industry Our fisheries are so vital that upon their prosperity depends in large the prosperity of the community. While the fisheries of this section did not suffer heavily those of other sections last year, the indications of Improvement here and throughout the First Di- vision very encouraging to Juneau as we'll as to Ketchikan where the failure last year was nearer complete

Why Is It?
(New York Times


 Returns from the prohibition referendum held in North Dakota Wednesday are still imperfect. Apparently the vote closer than would natur raly be expected in State dedicated since 1889 to prohibition The fact that in such State, with predominantly rural population, the question of State prohibition should be again submitted to the people is significant. The pro- hbition clause in the Constitution adopted by the people by separate vote. At that time public opinion quite evenly divided the subject. It had grown but not notably, in 1915, when the people approved by referendum statute enactng penalties for violations of the State liquor law As in other States, the Legislature much virtuous than the people.
 There only two votes in the North Da- kcta Senate and ten in the House against rati- fcation of the Eighteenth Amendment. Early in 1923 the Senate unanimously and the House with only ten. dissents passed concurrent resolution praying Congress never to make the volstead act more liberal. But things have happened, dis couring to the Vosteadan. In 1923 Nevada's prohibition law held unconstitutional She has since been content to remain among the "nufers." In 1926 Montana joined the same wicked crew. Whether New York's repeal of her State Enforcement act had any effect North Dakota we have no means of judging but the Canadian example must have had considerable eff feet. As Province after Province, after fair trial of prohibition discarded it for the system of Government control; as those North Dakotans to whom prohibition was not religious and divine watched the economic, financial and moral work ings of the Canadian method and contrasted it with that to which in form another they had for so long submitted, they grew weary of it.
 Presumably it works there it works every where else. The State loses money There is plenty of drink such it is. The moral fruit |of the reign of the Dry saints is visible in many ways Whether the repeal of the prohibition clause in the Constitution is carried or not it is striking that there should have been voters enough to initiate referendum Moreover this is the first occasion the North Dakota women Lave had to vote on prohibition. North Dakota | is one of the oldest homes of prohibition Will she cast it out? And where was Senator Borab Is "nullfcation" in Nevada and Montana at tempted nullifcation' in North Dakota no sin and of account?

More or Less True

Independence is what a great
 army of young men quit showing much of after June. It takes more than a super-six or straight-eight bought on the in- stallment plan, to make people
 worthwhile, but a lot of folks can't be made to believe it. The reason daughter is looking around for a rich husband who'll be easy to work is because her mother married a poor one who just worked hard. The happiness of the home doesn't depend on how friend wife carries her age, but on how she carries on.
 Girls today don't seem to be much interested in breaking hearts but are content to simply break
 their boy friends. The trouble with the average sal ary is there is only one to earn it
 and four or five to spend 1t. An average he-man is one who
 would rather get soaked to the , skin than walk down the street
 carrying his wife's green silk ex-
 cuse for an umbrella. Another reason why father hates to sit too near mother when they | are out in company is because that is the time she always notic-
 es the spots he's got on his vest
 or that his necktie is a disgrace
 or his sock has a runner. ', Men use the street car to get
 down town, but girls seem to think
 it is a place to complete their toilets.

 careful about the way she sit:

European demand has been big in1uent in the advance in price of copper, says the N; tiona Bank of Commerce in New York in th July issue of Commerce Monthly.
 Perhaps no single factor has had so much direct influence on the advance in prices of copper the extraordinary de- mand for the metal in foreign countries, chiefly in Europe. Net imports by the primary consumers of copper outside of the United States during the first quarter of 1928 were nearly 40 per cent higher than imports in the first quarter of last year. Although definite data are not available, net takings by foreign coun- tries are known to have been unusually large in the second quarter A veritable copper boom is reported in Germany, one of the largest consumers
 Foreign takings have been so large that despite the recognized rehabilta- ton of European industries there is some question whether heavy imports have not been partly in anticipation of future requirements caused by fear of advances in price
