BRITISH LIBERALS STAND PAT WITH

The re- election was unopposed and the vote was almost if not quite unanimous
 MT. George declared that while the Liberals have only 58 members in the Commons they represent nearly five-and-a-half million votes-the votes thai demonstrated that Great Britain wants neither So ciasm nor Torysm. He served notice that it was the duty of the Liberals who hold the balance oi power to see that she gets neither He intimated that the Liberals would not oppose the proposals that the Government resume diplomatic relations with Russia that British troops be withdrawn from the Rhine, that immediate action be taken to meet half way least the American approaches regarding naval disarmament But" he said,
 "we shall await with intereststhe forthcom-

 must declare that far as lies in our
 power the mandate of the Government ends

Guns Turned on Governor Parks.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)


 As the political pot boils, it develops that fight is being made the renominaton of George A. Parks to be Governor of Alaska. Four Senators Of Alaska, of the five who were anti administration throughout, with the appearance of Wickersham- Sutherland domination far forgot the cry of Alaska for Alaskans that they endorsed a gentle man from Texas for the Governorship
 The man from Texas certainly is not an Alaskan, though he lived in the Territory years ago. He may be well qualified for the post, but likewise there numerous citizens of the Territory who are quite as well qualified
 The record of Governor Parks has been clean. His worst fault has been that he has bent back wards in being than fair to his enemies who generally the enemies of development in the Territory.
 Governor Parks, a World War veteran ex- ecutive of courage and ability and honesty is en- titled to reappointment and it will be unfortunate indeed if a lot of scheming politicians able to side-track him for some other person.
 Fortunately Captain A. E. Lathrop, the recog- nized National Committeeman of the Territory, has endorsed the reappontment of Governor Parks anc likewise is it fortunate that the Committeeman has standing at the White House.

 Fishing like agriculture is of the oldest of industries but both of them have to move With the times Though there good fish in the seas as ever out of it, the task of extracting them becomes more and more subtle and scientific; we read of whales that hunted by wireless, and one of these days the herring will doubtless be taught how to break, unwttingy, some sort of CIT cult, ring a bell in the captains bunk, and an- nounc the exact bearings of the shoal to which it belongs In the meantime, can only con- graduate Fleetwood having applied what seems to be the principle of sound ranging to trawl1ng operations. A device which has just been test ed on vessel that belongs to that port appears to give excellent results. T located the fish at two hundred fathoms," says the captain, and by means of the echo sounder' I remained at that depth and kept in constant touch with the shoal " According to Byron and the poets generally it was the function of the older land echo to answer "Where?" Apparently the better-trained marine model answers, Aye, aye, sir-here!" The final phase will be echo that not only answers but electrocutes the fish-and then haus them on board attached to ultraviolet ray.
