The New Governor General in Manila.
(New York World.)

The White House announcement that Dwight F. Davis has been offered the Governor Generalship of the Philippines is well received by Filipino spokes- men. MT. Davis efficient Cabinet officer whose experience gives him special qualifca- tions. For than three years as Secretary Of War, he had supervision of the administration of the Philippines, Porto Rico and the Canal Zone. He took office when Governor General Wood was in hot water in Manila, and he watched at close range the work of Governor General Stimson last year in winning back the confidence of the Ffli- pno leaders and people.
 The requisites for success in dealing with such people the Filipinos have been strikingly dem- onstrated by Colonel Stimson in Nicaragua and Philippines and by Ambassador Morrow in Mexico. Ability, energy and character all count, but they by means count for everything, for General Wood had them and he failed Tact is indispensable, and something than tact What is needed is the inborn spirit of man who is not merely polite, not merely diplomatic and benevolent but who is fundamentally lacking in snobbshness. The slight est trace of snobbery in any of its varied forms intellectual, official racial, socal-is fatal. The Filipnos, like the Latin-Americans proud and self-respecting people, with good reason for pride and sef-reSpect. Their instinct teaches them to distinguish a snob at the tweve-mile limit

GOV. PARKSS FLIGHT.

Gov. Parks's flight from Juneau to Oakland California, in calendar day is an excellent ad- vertsement for the practicablity of air transpor- tation in the Northwest. The flight which was made in about twenty hours elapsed time, was not attempt to break any records or to establish record. It made in ordinary commercial planes under ordinary conditions In fact there was delay in Seattle of than four hours. The record makes it plain that the trip could be made by the Alaska Washington Airways planes, if prep aratons were made for it, in sixteen hours-perhaps less
 And, by the way, this flight of Gov. Parks, fol- lowing the strenuous days work Sunday by the seaplane Juneau, when she made three flights from Juneau and return-to Taku Inlet. Port Althorp and Petersburg-before hopping off for Seattle taken in connection with her past performances in making less than daylight trips back and forth between Juneau and Seattle, speaks volumes for the Alaska Washington Airways's planes and Pllot-Manager Eckmann The seaplane Juneau and the Gorst amphibian Alaskan have demonstrated a reason for a Juneau Seattle air mail service.

The Wet Atlantic.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

It is probably safe to say that more liquor is consumed per capita the North Atlantic than in any similar in the world. Strange it may seem, ocean-going voyagers with water all around them, are still the most thirsty of mortals. Whoever has stood at the crowded bar of trans atlantic liner twelve miles out of New York will know how the Great Thirst rises up like ghost from the deep and melts away the stocks of bourbon and cognac champagne and curacao, piled high in the hold of the liner.
 Given this unsuitable demand, the action of the Chapman lines in supplying liquors the Levathan was almost inevitable. American merchant ships are supposedly ruled by American law until they reach the territorial waters of foreign States but in this matter it is the competition of French Ger man and English lines that determines the law. Dryness IS too severe handicap to place upon a struggling merchant marine that we are trying to nurse into full-grown manhood
 To some this change of fare on the Leviathan Will be happy event-to others, anathema. But at least those who deplore the weakening of the moral fioer of American shipping companies can take reIuge Tn the fact that it is part of the price we must pay for our long, sought merchant marine under the American flag.

The English Dreyfus Case.
Manchester Guardian. )


 Dreyfus Jew and a Lieutenant in the French Army. He was charged with espionage in the interest of a foreign government condemned and sent to Devils Island and it took years of agitation and all the genius and resolution of the great zola to the reversal of the sentence and his tardy acquittal and release Miss Douglas Pennant is a person of social distinction, with high record of public service and she has suffered no legal penalty. But her case is parallel with that of Dreyfus, first in the fact that she was during the war unjustly dismissed from her post as a public servant and that years have passed and she IS still vainy seeking for redress. Her case indeed is in one respect than that of the unfortunate Dreyfus for having never been told of what offense she was accused, she has never had the opportunity of rebutting it. seems incredible that this should be the in a country which brides itself above all it's sense of fair play and of justice to the individual Yet it is the truth There was an inquiry in the House of Lords but It was so conducted that the charge was never stated Miss Douglas -Pennant demands justice and will continue to demand it till it is granted We publish today letter signed by some of the most ostingulshed names in the country supporting her claim Justice cannot be permanently denied The case IS too clear the slur the reputation of the House of Lords too great, for persistence in this denial

BETTER LUCK TO MIR. HAYNES NEXT
 TIME.

Regret is general in Juneau that Raymond L. Haines unfortunate as to have his engine broken while enroute to Seattle in the little Miss Juneau with an outboard rotor trying to establish record. Hope is general that he will succeed in his second attempt which it is intended, will not be long delayed. To make trip from Juneau to Seattle in 15-foot boat with an outboard motor for power under the circumstances that surround MT Hainess effort will beget lot oi publicity and all of it will tend to prove to those who usually spend their vacations the water that place in the world offers the advantages for summer yachting that is presented by the Alaska Inside Passage.
 There are thousands of Americans and Canadians who devote large part of each summer to yacht ing, and the number is growing constantly. The an annual Capital-to- Capital Yacht Race and such undertakings as that of MT Haines is worth while yacht touring Alaska for a few months, weeks brings people who spend money and people who have money to invest It has been demonstrated over and over again that tourists of the class that yachts for their pleasure constitute a source from which investors recruited in large numbers
 So The Empire and all others who love sport and believe in the need for calling the worlds at tenton to the marvellous advantages of the waters of Southeast Alaska for yachting purposes vii wish MT. Haines better luck in his next attempt to make the trip from Juneau to Seattle in his 15 foot boat in 52 hours less
