Alaska Notes Gathered From. TeegisssiAl...
 ExcstaRxesx

On his voyage down pne coast re- gently, eneroute. to his Skagway head quarters from visit in Anchorage and ether coast towns, E. A. Rasnus- sen, president of the Bank of Alaska, found conditions good lin virtually every community, due to the unusual fy successful fishing operations. He observed that all of the fishemen had money; some of them netted a larger return during the season than ever before; and he observed also that they were putting the money in cir culation, with the result that business; generally had benefited. ;.
 "Thee fishermen are riding in air planes now and the packers are walk ing" was. the comment of the banker in statement given tog the press at Juneau. "The pricee7 of E. fish is low, too low,yand the packers are not pros porous. They paidp good prices for salmon, inr some instances the cost of raw fish exceeding the sunr received for the finished pack by. the canners on the open markets.
 "This has been bad for the packer, but the prosperity of the fishermen is a wonderful thing. for the Terri tory," he said.
 A. A. Shonbeck bought a partially cleared farm of 320 acres at Palmer and installed full equipment, includ- ing thresher. He invested total of S10,OOO.

CIGARETTE CONSUMPTION

While most branches Of the to- bacco industry decline, the cigarette business continues to increase. Last year the combined American cigar cite plants had an output of 127,- 4o0,ooo,00o, and this year, despite the hesItancy of trade in general, the consumption of cigarettes IS said to be increasing; not necessarily be- cause Of increased devotees to Lady Nicotine. but because the cigarettes continue to gain ground al the ex- 7ense Of the other branches Of the industry
 This is not good news to the cigar and smoking tobacco industries, hut facts are facts, The problem IS one for the cigar and smoking tobacco industries to solve. if possible. Con- necticut has a large stake in the cigar business.

THE POLITICAL APPOINTEE

A political appointee is somebody who gets a soft snap for political services. When he is in office he is supposed 10 go through the motions of working for the state but his main job is to continue working for the party. Every political machine is weighed down with such gentlemen; and they add to its power and ef- fectiveness. It is the way political machines reward their followers for services performed. A political party would possess little lure for the average worker in it's ranks if it didn't provide as many soft snaps as possible after the election.
 The system is T vogue in Connec- tcut The state political. organiza- ton and employes "needed" the greater the political momentum. The organization in Connecticut. as everyone has had opportunity of ob- serving, has plenty of momentum.
 Professor Levitt does well to at tack the system and attempt to pull 1t up by its roots. He says the state pays more than a million dollars a year to such workers without all adequate return. The return IS there, however. but it goes to the political party. Not only do the soft snap workers vote for the G 0. P, but all their relatives and friends are influenced 10 do so, The total oi these alone is sufficient to swing any election.

 At Army Tank School
By GEORGE Il. MANNING


 Washington. Aug. 18.-MaJor A. V. Arnold of Collinsville, Conn, was graduated Saturday from the special course of instruction at the army's tank school Fort Meade. Md.
 There were IS graduates from the course, all of them army officers holding the rank of captain or high CT. They were drawn from army posts all over the country and in the Philippines.
 Commenting on the course, Major General stephen o. Fuqua, chief of infantry. said that successful em ployment in battle of any weapon is dependent upon possession by the leader of a sound knowledge of its capabilities and limitations and in using the weapon correctly when the opportunity arises
 It is necessary. therefore, Gener- al Fuqua said, that the tank as a heavy infantry weapon, should be understood by all officers.

AND PROHIBITION

CHURCHMEN AND PROHIBITION
 The supposition that churchmen as class Of citizenship are opposed to modification of the prohibition law is unsound. There is disagree ment regarding the noble eNperi- ment among churchmen and those who have been observing its work Ings have become increasingly articulate
 Comes to hand 2 statement which appeared in the columns of the "Churchman. a religious periodical The article IS credited to the Rev, James Sheerln, widely known clergyman and author.
 The prohibition era has resulted, says Rev. Mir. sheerin, from a de- sire 10 save few drunkards, and in attaining or attempting to attain this object the welfare Of the nation as 
 q whole has been leopardized.
 It IS Of infinitely greater import ance to save towns and states than Y ls 10 save the occasional mlsdoer, be he drunkard or gambler" say : the clergyman The time of both church and state has been too ire auently dissipated by misdirected eff fort on behalf Of some abnormal by product of social existence"
 This is well enough and well put. But the clergyman goes down deeper into the evils of prohibition. showing how really important issues and the available services Of public-splrited men are side-tracked over the ever present controversy regarding prohi- bit!on
 The whole political situation is affected by it everywhere. Hothins 5 can be done for the good of com : munity apart from its enfeehling in flucnce. r. the community is eager for q good man in office, he is either defeated or elected by the question Of his stand as 10 the minor matter Of liquor. The towns lighting prob lem, it's paving. its franchises, its handling Of public funds, its manage = ment of benevolent institutions, its progressive measures,-and even Its schools-all sink into pale insignltl- canoe in the face Of the banquo-llke recurrence of the everlasting ques- ton as 10 what kind Of drink a man shall put into his belly,
 The assumed bigger men Of q town will not run for office because Of their fear on one side or the oth- CT. Of the prohibition question. Weaker men accept the office and are nodded one way or another by the men who drink to excess or reform 10 excess. The whole town is sacrl- feed 10 the mere individual or 10 an item in his social need. The larger social unit is made Of less concern than the misfit man and his beastly passion. The whole is made rotten ln the interests of q part"
 At the very moment we have an illustration Of this in Connecticut. IL is widely held by all classes of so- ciety that Professor Leyitt's public utility platform is justified and sound. But it turns out that Profcs- sor Levitt personally is dry, Hence q. large number of wet voters who believe in Professor Levitt's public utility principles, will fail in SUD- porting him because of his personal preference to prohibition.

THE OMISSION OF HARTFORD

It IS blow to Hartford's dignity prestige and greatness to have the New Haven railroad omit the word "Hartford" from its name as gener- ally used The official name remains the New York. New Haven and Hartford, but that IS quite mouth ful, and the railroad has been stimu- lating the use of the one word New Haven as the popular name for the line. This leaves Hartford out in the cold and it Is shivering.
 That is something that merely causes a guffaw in New Britain, Waterbury, Bridgeport New London and other points along the line. These cities are not mentioned in the official title of the railroad and to the best of our knowledge have never suffered thereby.
 Neither has Springfield suffered because the Boston & Albany never included Springfield in the title; or has Worcester shown signs of dis tress.
 New Britain. by the way is the only city on the New Haven lines
