WHY Secrecy?

Our thanks to Utah for insisting upon the utmost
publicity for the conference meeting at Santa Fe,
New Mexico, to solve the problems the Colorado
river incidental to the construction of Boulder Canyon
dam.
Dispatches from Santa Fe do not make known who
it that insisted upon secret sessions We
tainly hope it not the California delegation Just
why secrecy should be desirable in conference of
this kind, unable to understand any than
the secret vote recently exposed in the United
States senate.
There many points in dispute among the states
interested in the dam and doubt compromises and
trades will have to be made in order reach agree
ment that will be satisfactory to all concerned. Why
should any delegate representative at the conference
wish to keep such moves from the knowledge of the
people?
Had it not been for the nationwide campaign con-
Quoted by the newspapers, there might not be
conference at Santa Fe and need for it. for the
Swing-Jo ohnson bill would still be bill instead of
law. The newspapers did not win the battle single
handed, but they supplied plenty of heavy ammunition
to break down the opposition, and they used it.
Why say then, that they shall not be represented
at Santa Fe?
The only Inference is that Someone-perhaps
groupwas in hopes of putting something that he
would not to have known to the folks at home.
If hope the scrbes the job smoke him them
out with the utmost publicity possible
NeWSpapermen always be trusted to keep their
mouths shut and respect condolences until permission
to release is given them. The or group attempt
ing muzze squech them usually finds out he has
adopted the wrong tactics.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S LONESOME
SNOWFALL

One day. after Baby Bunty and
thc forty sixteen rabbit chiloren
had con1e home from school, they
began to play around Uncle Wig
lily's hollow stump bungalow.
ooh. l know what lets do, -
shouted Jingle. suddenly.
''Wbat ?' asked Janglc.
Lets have a SNOWFALL fight"
Oh, yet Set So cried Bumbic
and Stumble.
Soon the bunny boys and girls
were making soft balls of snow.
Then they made snow fort and
half the crowd went inside the fort
while the other half STAYED outside.
Fast through the air flew the snow
balls back and forth, into the fort
and out of the fort and there was
laughter and shouting and squealing
such as YOU never heard before. For
when "a little girl rabbit was hit by
a SNOWFALL and some of the cold
white stuff went down the back o.
her dress. Of course. she sGuealed.
But at last it began to grow dark
and Nurse Jane, stepping to th'
door of the bungalow, called
.'Come into supper now, Uncle
Wiggily is waiting for you! >
ooh. maybe Daddicums will tell
US story about his adventures

over an icicle and bumped his nose
in a bank of snow. But he WASH 7

So. after the little rabbits had
done their school home work, they
all went to bed. Then Uncle Wig

he gave a loud yell.

the reason the little orphan rabbit

EVEN IN WET COUNTRY

A veritable epidemic of cases of methyl alcohol poisoning is greatly disturbing public opinion and gov ernment circles in Roumania. With in a few weeks 80 cases with a fatal issue have been reported with out counting those in which the victim does not die but is struck with blindness or other grave in firmities. The situation is render ed more serious by the fact that these deaths are spread over sev- eral regions, proving that a con- siderable quantity of methyl alco- hol. issuing doubtless from an in- dustrial alcohol manufactory, Is in circulation. The government is taking measures; a bill is sub mitted to Parliament tending to render fraudulent dealings of this kiad more difficult. A scientific Commission has been appointed to study the question.
 Hitherto, cases of methyl alcohol poisonings were said to occur only in prohibition countries. The ex- ample of Roumania shows that such is by no means the case.

BETTER CITIZENSHIP 1hkUUuH
 BETTER NEWSPAPERS"

By c. c. Younggreen, President, International Advertising Assocla- tion: Better Citizens Through Better Newspapers rs"-That Is al- most automatic. The best parents turn out the best children; the best teachers turn out the best students; the best firms turn out the best workers. And surely any improve ment in "the poor mans uniyer- sity" and the rich mans post graduate" must result in better readers-bstter men and women- better citizens.
 'I see by the papers can become a battle slogan. Cold type has tremendous effect on the mind. And the newspaper, with it's con- stant contact with the mind must perforce have great power in it's influence.
 Take a newspaper which has proven it's value; which has proven its reliability in presenting facts and not biased rumors; which has consistently opened it's columns only to advertisers in whose integrity it has full confidence; fearless, honest, progressive.
 Hand that newspaper to a thou sand, ten thousand, five hundred thousand individuals in any locality and see what a concerted idea you will have brought forth.
 Such a paper is an institution; it is a force which governs; it can develop the minds and the morals of it's readers into almost any shape it desires. And with such a paper as have described, under the direc- tion of the sort Of men who alone would have such ideals, clean mind ed, forward looking, patriotic, any community can well hold itself as highly blessed.
 The paper, on the contrary, which caters to the baser human clements, which displays for the satisfaction of a morbid curiosity the frailties and errors and the misfortunes of fellow beings, not only soils its own hands in the muck in which it delves but works irreparable harm on the most im- questionable part of it's community.
 And if the public would take the pains, by due acknowledgment, to make their choice between filth and cleanliness, between progress and retrogression, between honesty and questionable practices, then we would find our publishers shoulder ing their heavy burdens with the satisfaction of knowing their fellow citizens were back of them.
 A fine community will not neces- sarily produce a fine paper, nor fine newspaper always produce a fine community; but when both work together for the common good of all, there can be no doubt as to the result.

NEW INNOCENT STAMPS

Kansas and Nebraska post mas ters last week received the new state stamps. They have the word Kansas or Nebraska" printed at the bottom of the stamp. The gov ernment is trying to make the deal- ing in stolen postage stamps a more risky business. To determine what assistance printing special stamps for states would have in tracing stolen stamps, the govern ment is making special stamps for use in Kansas and Nebraska. While these stamps are guaranteed the very latest in design, the two-cent stamps are the same old price. The postmasters, however, are selling right now one-cent stamps at the rate of twenty-six stamps for a cent and a quarter.

Among the new landing fields to be added to those already establish ed in the Territory will be one on Cottonwood Creek. in Fairway placer district, where landings may be made with wheels. The field will be prepared by Jack Lincke on a site upon which it is now pos sible to land with wheels, but which will be drained and cleared of brush, giving a field capable of accommodating the largest plane. This field will serve as good emergency field for planes travel ing over the Alaska range west of Mt. Mckinley in case of fogs or clouds, which would drive the plane back to it's base at Anchor age.

SPEAKS SOUND SENSE

Cardinal Dougherty, of Philadel- phia, in his address to the Catholic Total Abstinence Union said this:
 Tn safeguarding it's religious ideals, this union has never dic- tated the political affiliation of its members. Maintenance of law and order, however, is not a political issue, but a civic duty. Every duty Is a duty of the hour, and the duty of this hour is the suppress sion of bootlegging and all it's at tendant evils. .. This union Catholic Total Abstinence) has never subscribed to the un-Christian assertion that law can not make men moral. =. |. It professes its faith in the laws of God, the laws of the church, and the laws of Christian nations, as the most potential agencies for Human prog ress. Laws removing the occasions of sin may be essential to the nor al growth of communities, as they undoubtedly are to the moral sta- bility."
