JJNDERSTATING FACTS.

Ernest Walker Sawyer, Executive Assistant to the Secretary of the Interior was given lot of space for Alaska publicity when he passed through Los Angeles on his way to Washington. The Times gave him six-coumn spread on the first page of one of the sections of it's Sunday edition of July 2l It contained two maps and five photographs The latter included interior farms, Navy plane on a survey flight and group of moose. It was all very fine, and the accompanying article is re- printed in The Empire.
 One bull in the article is worthy of special note however MT. Sawyer is quoted as saying
 Within the past month flyer
 hopped off from Seattle to Alaska in single
 day While the trip from Seattle to Alaska
 was a trial trip and not part of a regu-
 lar schedule is demonstrates once the de-
 mand is established, Alaska will be only two
 days away from Los Angeles
 MT. Sawyer very much understated the facts. This year prior to the date given, July 21, there had been dozens of passengers to make the air flight between Seattle and Alaska in single day. Many of them had made the trip up or down between Ketchikan and Seattle in a single day and several had made it in day between Seattle and Juneau. It is not unusual performance at all. It has been done so often in good weather and bad that the practicabity of oneday flights between Juneau and Seattle has been thoroughly established

Great Editor Retires.
(New York World)


 Mir C. P Scott has retired after fifty years as editor of the Manchester Guardian" The con- tro of the paper is undisurbed for his son becomes the editor and he himself remains as managing director. There is every reason to trust that the noblest journalistic tradition in the Engsh-speaklng world will continue unbroken.
 c. P. Scott made the Manchester Guardian standard of journalistic honor and for that reason it's influence on the newspaper profession has been incalculable By daily example it has affirmed the faith of C. P Scott that the task of an editor IS to understand the other man, but none the less Ito continue saying what he believes. In the Guard ian" opinion has never been regarded as merchan- disc and the truth as c. P. Scott it. has been printed in fair weather and in foul.
 The Guardian" though 1t has remained loyal to the Liberal minority, though again and again it has championed the outcast, the despised and the hated is surely the best liked newspaper of all in England. The secret of this paradox is not diff ficult fathom. In 57 years C. P Scott has estab- lished the conviction that no point of view will be denied a hearing in his pages and that to every point of view an editor the duty of courteous sympathy. The Guardian" is in the literal sense of the word magnanimous In it's long controversial history, whether it won whether it lost, it has secreted none of the poisons of pettiness; in it's intention, in the mastering purpose which animated it. it has spoken often than any other organ of opinion the ultimate mind of the British people

Trend of Pulp Industry.
Anchorage Times.)

Washington today is fourth among the 48 States in the production of wood pulp and pulpwood. The phrases sound alike but not the same. Pulp wood is the timber from which wood pulp is made. Washington last year produced 561,657 cords of the former and 349 107 tons of the latter both resenting increases over 1927
 The industry is comparatively in Wash ington. It has reached it's economic peak in the States that lead-Maine, Wisconsin and New York. These may be expected to show decreases in the future, while Washington is destined to increase.
 The Seattle Post-Intelligencer discovers that of the 7160100 cords of pulpwood consumed last year, almost 5000000 cords of spruce, hemlock, slabs and mill waste, materials which abound in the Pacific Northwest to a greater extent than in any other part of the country.
 In 1928 pulpwood consumption throughout the Nation increased 61 per cent over 1927 and the increase in wood pulp was 4.6 per cent. In 1928, the production of paper and paper boards showed an increase of per cent.
 It is mere matter of arithmetic, then, to dem onstrate that as the Eastern States fall off in production and the demand for paper continues to increase, the Pacific Northwest Alaska will be called upon to furnish the future supply.

There has never been a time when the trend of investment and industry in Canada has been more toward the North, than now People are breaking away from the tradition that the North means barren lands and cold They are doing it. because they know better. The North is being gradually discovered as a vast treasure house.

APPEAL TO AWAIT FATS
Statement by Ministers of Kane
County on De King Case
Elgin, Illinois,
April II. 1929.

Whereas, Nation wide notice has been
given the De King case, at Aurora, where
through efforts to resist the uniformed
officers of the law, in serving search
warrant, one of the members of the fam
lily was killed and one of the enforcement
officers shot. And,
Whereas, This tragedy has been CAPT.
talized as wet propaganda with the evi-
dent purpose Of prejudicing the mind of
the people against all enforcement legis-
lation discrediting all enforcement Off
GERS and enforcement activities under the
Eighteenth Amendment to the National
Constitution and is being used to influ-
ence the Legislature of this and other
states to defeat prohibition legislation.
Therefore, The ministers of Kane
County. through their various associa-
tions in Aurora, Elgin and other Cities
having appointed their representatives to
investigate the situation desire to make
the following statement:
We find that following. the election
last fall, of George D. Carbary, as States
Attorney, he has carried on vigorous
enforcement campaign, with the hearty
support of the people of the county and
to the diSmay of the bootleggerS and their
friends The extent of this is seen in the
fact that within four months the assessed
fines approximated 1000 besides jail
sentences imposed These efforts we
heartily endorse.
In view of the fact that De King had
a court record as bootlegger and has
served time, that he resisted the efforts of
the officers of the law to serve the search
warrant and threatened the lives of the
officers, discharging a gun, as a warning
and that Roy Smith, the officer who is
said to have shot Mrs. De King acted be-
cause he believed his life was threatened
and that the newspapers have not pub
lished all the facts and that some have
Wilfully distorted the facts,
We therefore, appeal to the general
public to wait until the facts are disclosed,
at the trial before passing judgment

The frenzy generated in the State Leg

and the irrational a nd anarchistic
vocal outbursts in evidence, should serve
to demonstrate to thinking people, the
desirability of selecting men to represent
public purpose and TO enact laws, who
will not permit personal prejudice and
over wrought emotion to f1ux with the
lack of balance and of sense of propor-
tion that too frequently permeates legis-

LEAGUE OPPOSES THIS BILL
League Opposes Bill to Amend
Prohibition Law in Reference
to Liquors for Medicinal and
Mechanical Uses

Among the measures introduced into
the present session of the Legislature
which, if passed, would initiate against
effective prohibition enforcement, is one
by Senator Boehn, Cook County. This
measure, while on its face apparently a
fair proposal and no doubt honestly
sponsored by some legitimate users of al
coholic liquors, must nevertheless be
fought and defeated in the interest OF
law enforcement It Is pending in the
Senate on third reading after having
been reported from the Judiciary Com
mittee.
The Leagues position on this bill and
the reasons therefor are set forth in the
following letter sent to members of the
Senate:
Dear Senator.
Senate Bill No. 81 would amend the IL
hnois Prohibition act by adding the fol-
lowing section:
SECTION so. Nothing in this act shall
prohibit the manufacture, transportation,
purchase, sale or possession of any in
toxicating liquor by any person, firm or
corporation when manufactured, trans
ported. purchased, sold or possessed
strictly in accordance with permit is
sued by authority of the United States,
Provided, such permit is at all times
posted or otherwise kept, as provided by
this act.
The effect of this proposed amendment
would be to take away the Jurisdiction
which the state now exercises over traffic
in intoxicating liquors for medicinal, sac
ramental and industrial purposes. It not
only attempts to change number of sec
tions of the State Prohibition act without
setting out the sections amended. but
would also, in effect, incorporate in lieu
of such provisions various provisions of
the Federal law of different wording and
effect. This would result in utter confu-
sion in the construction and administra-
ton of the law, and hence would greatly
handicap enforcement officers and weak
en- law enforcement.
We give few Illustrations of the eff
feet of this proposal: Medicinal, toilet
and other preparations containing alco-
hol may not be sold in ice cream parlors.
restaurants ETC., under the state law
There is no such provision in the Federal
law. The provisions of the state law gov
erning the prescribing of liquors are more
restrictive than the similar provisions of
the Federal law. These provisions were
incorporated into the state law because
deemed conducive to better enforcement
and experience has proven them So
Again by Section 38 of the illinois Pro
AApAVloA1 aO1 SoAiElCCe power 10 gwen u
municipalities to prohibit acts which the
state law in its present form authorizes,
under permit. But this proposed measure
provides that a person holding a Federal
permit shall not be prohibited from
carrying on such traffic in the state The
purpose of Section 33 of the State Pro-
hibition law would be largely destroyed
by the enactment of this bill; provisions
of ordinances of many municipalities
would be invalidated and the construction
of other ordinances left wholly uncertain
We trust that you will vote against
this measure
Very sincerely yours,
GEORGE B. Stafford.
