ALASKA PRODUCES MORE THAN HALF
 OF THE FISHERIES OUTPUT.

The annual report of the Department of Commerce devotes considerable attention to the discussion of American fisheries in all it's phases It shows that the fisheries products of the United States in 1927 had value of S103000,- O00 and concludes that this is large item in American industry. That includes the oyster and other shellfsh industries on both the At lantic and Pacific Coasts, the fisheries of the Great Lakes. the New England and other At lantic banks and the extensive fisheries of all kinds in the Gulf of Mexico as well as the salmon and other fisheries of the Pacific Coast
 That is all very fine, and when one realizes that the Alaska fisheries products for 1928, not counting the home consumption, were valued at more than $5S,00O,OO0, more than one-half that of the fisheries of all the United States, it is easy to understand the importance of the fish cries industry in this Territory The major DOT tion of the Alaska fisheries production is canned salmon, but it includes fresh salmon, halbut herring sabedsh and other species of fish, shrimps crabs and clans.
 While the Aiasaa salmon output has prob ably reached the limit of safety, if the supply is to be preserved, and haibut fishing will prob ably not increase unless new banks are discov- cred there is room for vast advance in other branches of the fisheries. Also, there is a wide field for increasing the value of the output by experimenting in different ways of preparing and preserving fish for food The Norwegians have added lot to the value of their herring and other fisheries pack by preparing it in various ways that appeal to the palate. Stavanager fish pastes of different sorts Bring dollars for the pound instead of cents. Small fish packed sardines add to the value of the output in many sections of both Europe and America.
 One two more of the big packing companies might. to the advantage of the in dustry, the Bureau of Fisheries might, estab- fish laboratories where they could experiment. not on how cheaply fish might be packed but how good to eat it might be made There many people who do not question the price of choice caviar or anchoves sardnes or Stavanger pastes of various sorts if it tickles the right spot of the palate.
 The value of the fisheries output and the number of people employed in the industry might be increased in this way.
 However, if the fisheries output of Alaska be maintained at than $500O0, 900 a year, it will continue to be a very large industry That is than the value of the wheat crop in many of the so-caed wheat States

More Or Less True

A bride is surprised to find how much less money the groom has than she thought he had-but she isn't as surprised as he is at find ing out how much more temper she has than he thought she had,
 There are times when every hus- band is grateful to the law for having made it impossible for him to have two wives if, in some looney moment, he ever should have had any such idiotic desire.
 Mother looks pretty shoddy and all worn out, but as the only place mother ever goes is to bed, daugh- ter can't see why she should wor- " about how she looks.
 The ideal father is one who doesn't raise the roof if the kids beat him to the comic sections on Sunday morning.
 Mother can tell boy friend that daughter doesn't know any more about housework than the flea on Fido does about the Hollywood scandals, and father can put him wise to the fact that nobody can beat her at spending money. but as they both want daughter to get married they let him find out for himself k

POLITICAL PREVARICATORS.

The Christian Herald says the defeat of Gov. Smith for the Presidency makes it clear that the American people will never again tolerate the saloon The Methodist Clipsheet comments sim iarly Both of these publications insisted through out the campaign that the open saloon the Governor. Both the Herald and the Clipsheet know that their position before the election and comment since are deliberate efforts at deception. They knew and know that Gov. Smith did not at any time stand for the saloon. They knew and know that it was his purpose to close the saloons that are now open and operating under the Vol stead Aet-13 GOO of them, according to Prohibit tion enforcement agency authority, in PhiIadel- pha alone. They knew and know that Gov. Smith said time after time during the campaign and before that the saloon is 'defunct insttu- tion' that no one wants back They knew and know that Gov. Smith what he says and keeps campaign promises perhaps better than any in public life in America
 Then, why these professed religious pub lications continue their misrepresentation? It is probably brazen attempt to face down the iniquty of their printed records They think prob ably. now that the election is over none will take the trouble to their falsehoods and that many people will accept them for truth
 Yet these political prevaricators have the to discuss in sanctimonious manner polit- cal morality

V Cows Are Not So Funny.
Seattle Times.

If the little dog laughs when the COW jumps over the moon he must at least have smiled the other day to her fly from Detroit to Cleveland. Bossy had been entered in a live stock show at the Ohio city and in order to be present at the opening of the exposition had to move by airplane.
 Of course, show animals receive special con sderation, but all milch stock is getting more attention than formerly. Cows are fewer Their number is steadily decreasing. The record in Washington, which is renowned for it's dairying possibilities, offers opportunity for improvement This State now has only 330000 cows decline of 10000 in the past twelve months There have been persistent annual losses for the last several yeass.
 Smaller herds are not due to lack of pas- turage. Half million could find susten- anee In present circumstances. The recession re- suits from several causes, including the high price of beef and the strong demand by dairy men throughout the country for the finer stock raised in this State.
 In the opinion of Washington's Supervisor or Livestock, the continual diminution of milch cows threatens scarcity of milk for the con stantly increasing population of the cities Such a consequence would be nothing even for the httie dog to laugh at Cows ought to be induced to come back to earth

How Prohibition Can Win.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. )


 It is highly suggestive of something or other for former New York Prohibition Administrator to be paid $25.000 for telling how to make the Eighteenth Amendment effective
 Maj. Chester P Mills has just received that amount from w c. Durant, automobile manu- faeturer, in enforcement plan contest which attracted 23,230 participants probably about as many there among the 120,000, 900 in the United States who want the Volstead Law to be personally effective
 Here is where all enfocement plans fall down. Everybody is willing to help enforce the laws against murder; they know such sta tutes good life insurance. Comparatively few are willing to turn hand in support of Pro- hibition Enforcement. Nearly everybody is ac- lively passiyely in favor of nullifcation so far he she is personally concerned
 If Major Mills change this, his idea would be worth many times $25,O0O His prize plan to tighten up diversion of industrial alcohol, if adopted and made really effective would be worth $25,0OO,0OO to operators of il- licit stills, and those who give them and their product protection clear to the ultimate con- sumner.
 Let everybody who favors enforcement of prohibition against others turn it against him. self then it will win.

Alaska's Social Needs.
Seattle Post-Intelligencerl )


 In his annual report, Governor Parks of Alaska calls attention to serious omissions of the Fed eral Government in its relations with unfortun- ates in the Northern Territory.
 It's insane still cared for under contract system This seems a little too archaic, even after making allowances for the inertia Of bureaucracy. Insane persons could receive as careful attention under the contract system as under direct custody of governmental nstitu- tions But experience in the past has shown the inhumanities inherent in the system over come this possibility.
 The Governor also rightly doubts the wisdom of sending incorrigible native children out of the Territory. If detention home were pro- vided in Alaska, these could be disciplined in the vicinity of their homes, serving as an example to others. Making them exiles is hard ly fair to them, and it is not salutary in its influence upon their people.
 Another recommendation for social improve ment of the natives is contained in the Gov ernor's request for greater appropriations for the Bureau of Education Recent travellers in Iof the educational, vocational and medical needs lof the native populations. These people are widely scattered a vast territory, but this lis no valid excuse for governmental indifference to their welfare.
 Governor Parks is making a strong claim for greater official interest in his charges He should be supported.

Losing Out.

I planned to build chicken coop, to
cost 800 bones, and to my cottage, with
a whoop, came Charles Adolphus Jones.
II want the job Of building that" he
said, tits just my line; and you may
bet your Sabbath hat I'll build you
something fine. I've studied building
chicken coops in Munich and in Rome,
I've studied with artistic groups abroad
and exc at home. am not skilled with
Tyres or pens, am not learned in art,
but when 1t comes to housing hens I'm
ia class apart. So prithee let me
have this Job, pay an installment down,
and l will build. so help me Bob, the
finest coop in town" I said, Il don't
believe you much. your character is low;
you said you'd build rabbit hutch for
me, six months ago. The job involved
two bucks or four-three hours would
see it done; and here 1 waited by my
door for you, oh, faithless one. You
said you'd come along next day and
make that hutch for me; and I was
then prepared to pay the smackers two
or three. And every morning for week
I looked to your abode, to see you COM
ing like a streak along the dusty road.
You didn't come, the job was small, it
wasn't worth your while; you sat around
the billiard hall and wore lazy smile.
The man who fails in little things I
cannot trust in big, and his insistence
only brings pain beneath my wig
The man whose promise is no good, who
is with falsehoods free, can't build a
coop of brick or wood or hollow tile for
me. In all your promises you lied, and
got yourself in dutch; my rabbit of a
sunstroke died while waiting for its
hutch" WALT MASON.
