By Order of the Anti-Saloon League.
lNew Ynrk Murld l


 Associate Superintendent Nicholson of the Anti-saloon League has apparently cracked his whip over the head of Assemblyman Jenks to some effect At any rate MT. Jenks-dry leader in the Legislature-is reported to have dropped his county-option bill in favor of straight prohibition enforcement measure Making wry face over it, Mr. Jenks and Speaker McGinnies willing 10 let such measure come to vote.
 The Anti-Saoon League officials know as well as Mir Jenks that 9 AIullan-Gage bill has not the ghost of chance of becoming law. 1t is doubtful if it pass the Assembly, where stiff Republican group will join the Democrats against it. Short Of whole series of miracles, it would certainly fail in the Senate. Governor Roosevelt stands ready with veto if necessity requires it.
 The League officers and MT. Jenks know well, on the other hand, that they might get a county-option bill passed and signed if they tried hard enough But there two reasons why enforcement by county opticn does not suit the Anti-Saloon League. It would constitute an admission that great of the State are inimoyably and overwhelmingly wet by sentiment. II would also reveal that many dry counties up- State which ready enough to support a Statewide law saddling 70 per cent. of the cost lof enforcement New York City will have none jof a county-opton law which leaves each county to foot it's bills
 In short, the whole situation must he treated with eye single to the vanity of the Anti Saloon League. If it chose it could probably get really equitable and effective kind of law But this law would hurt it's prestige. Cracking it's whip, making the Republicans toe the line, going through all the old futile gestures it can at least it's face.

MELVILLE E. STONE, WORLDS GREAT
 EST NEWSGATHERER.

Melville F. Stone, who died last week, was one of the greatest newspapermen the United States has produced He just past eighty when he died and he had devoted nearly ali of his life 10 gathering and distributing news. He was a newgatAerer rather than an editor, and as such. tho greatest in histoy While he founded the Chicago News and with Victor r. Lawson conducted the paper for more than dozen years, building it into very successful and profitable property, his greatest work General Man ager cf the Associated Press for nearly thirty years, and Counsellor the organization since 1921
 MT. Stone chose journalism as fife work be- cause he saw in it an opportunity to be of great est service rather than as a road to riches When he sold his interest in the News to his partner, MT. Lawson and retired with comfortable for tune he entered banking and his success was such that wealth ooned prize for continuing in he work However, his love of newsgathering and distribution was so great that when he was asked become General Manager of the Western Associated Press he could moi resist the tempta- tion. When the Western Associated Press be- came the Associated Press of New York he re- mained General Manager. From that time on the story of his life was the history of the greatest newsgathering and distributing organiza- tion in the history of the world.
 He offered banking connections such as rarely rejected and political honors of the highest ordeI--incuding The Mayorality of Chi cage and Ambassadorships. He given oppor- tunity for political leadership. He was urged tc take editorial positions of power He refused everything, and gave full play to his passion fol gathering the of the world for the members of his Associated Press From the beginning he insisted that the Associated Press must get all the news, that it must be absolutely reliable and completely unbiased He early developed the abil ity Of picking the sort of he wanted in his organization and of communicating their loyalty and best abilities
 The training Associated Press correspondents and reporters got under the organization that Mir Stone built up was such that he placed the most implicit reliance in anything that they sent in news, and he rarely fooled. An illus traticn of his faith in his organization was furn- ished when the Associated Press report came from the battle front in France that Germans were bombardng Paris from distance of 72 miles Members throughout the country threw up theil hands. It was pgeposterous Wires of protes poured into the General Manager from all sec ticns. Mir Stones answer was, Stand pat The Associated Press reporters know what they are doing" They did, and the story completel, vindicated.

Alaska Calls to Tourists.
Seattle Times.

Prospective tourists studying the summer schedules of Alaska steamships and the descriptions of special sightseeing trips by land and which recently have been published. They are experiencing the irresistible appeal of sunny harbors, of mighty glaciers, of lofty mountain ranges and of tumbing streams. More and more Alaska is attracting tourists and the forthcoming summer is likely to see the greatest movement northward since the days of the gold rushes
 Public interest i'll Alaska is not confined to it's unmatched scenery and it's historic monument; not few of those who visit the Northland are deeply concerned in it's ndustial and agricultural life and it's opportunities for investment. The Forestry Service estimates that the forests of Southeastern Alaska can produce 100000 cords of pulpwood annually forever. The agricultural experts are at work producing grains and vege- tables adapted to the short but intensive growing season. They striving to do for the farmers what Government experts have done for the natives in establishing reindeer herds.
 t is generally agreed that the agricultural possibilities of Alaska hardly have been touched Vegetation fairly jumps under the influence of is to develop products of the soil which are adapted to the Northlands unique growing sea- son. Agriculture cannot outrun manufactures and population. Markets must be developed if farming is to pay. No large colonization move ment should come ahead of mining and manu- faeturng development
 The stream Of tourists will have an important bearing on Alaskas growth and progress. First the visitors come at sght-seers. but many of them will return as settlers investors.
