The Report of the Wickersham
 Commission.
(New York World.)

For several weeks various dispatches have come from Washington attempting to outline the plans of the Presidents Commission on Law Enforce
 ment with respect to Prohibition. MT Wickersham describes these reports as premature The com mission has reached no conclusions which are ripe for publication the present time" he says Tt cannot state when it's report will be ready. There are certain phases of investigation which the com mission has not yet completed"
 No doubt the field of the commissions work is broad enough for it to carry on it's investigation for many months if it chooses. large part of the public is likely to believe however that the great not lack of facts, which it has been gathering for eighteen months, but lack of ideas about how to present these facts to the public. The commits sion has been uncertain of it's responsibility since the day of it's creation. It has never seemed to know whether it appointed for the purpose of considering the enforceability of the Volstead Act Tor merely for the purpose of tinkering with ways lof trying to enforce this legislation Tn it's first report a year ago. the commission raised formid- able questions, only to dodge these questions entirely when it submitted it's recommendations to the Pres- dent.
 We believe it is fair to say that the country no longer expects the second part of the Wickersham
 commission to be sober, scientific piece of re-
 search arriving at such conclusions as are shaped by facts themselves. The country has become convinced, and has had good reason to become con- Ivnced that the Wickersham commission is less in- terested in scientific research than in rescung the President from a trying political situation as best lit can. If the country is wrong in this judgment, there is very simple way in which the commission can prove that it is wrong That way is to write Ia report which really to grips with Prohlb- tion as a problem in government.

ALASKA LOSES EMINENT CITIZENS

In the departure of Dr. J. II. Condit and Mrs Condit for California to take up their residence, Alaska loses two of her most eminent citizens. Dr. Condit's work in the field of missions his career as Superintendent of the Sheldon Jackson School at Stka marked him a leader in both religious and educational fields His long life here, one-third of a century in time, largely given to service connected with the religious and educational vel fare of the Terrtory's aboriginal In the out set he held two white pastorates and since that time as general missionary first and later at the Stka educational institution, he pointed out the way to competent Christian citizenship" by both precept and example to those entrusted to his care.
 His efforts were untring. His devotion to what he properly regarded a good cause was unswerv- ing. And his work rewarded by the substan- tal progress of his charges particularly in recent years And while Alaskans regret to see him go from among them, they will agree that he has earned well-merited rest from further labors and hope for him and Mrs. Condt every good thing here and hereafter.

tionist policy of Premier Bennett at the time Of the last election Experience has shown that when duties are raised prices go up and already local merchants have been notified that some of their goods will be advanced in price after the New Year as a result of the new tariff That is why objection is taken to the higher tariff. We object to paying higher prices which are borne large ly by the wage earners of the country.
 But just now Premier Bennett is in power with 8 strong majority and is pledged to higher tariff He has begun well by carry ing out his promises in that regard at the earliest possible moment and we are con- tent to await the issue. If prices are not advanctd on Canadian goods as a result of protection, we shall be satisfied, but if 1t is found that the manufacturers of the country take advantage of the situation to raise prices and gouge more money from the workers we shall object very strenuously. Possibly we were wrong in our opposition to the tariff Time will tell. It is useless to discuss the theory when we have before us a practical example that will soon prove the theory.
 We do not like fighting elections all the year round It is several months since MT. Bennett was elected and we had almost for gotten that there was a contest Just now he is Canadas Premier and we are ready to support him as far as possible Why hark back?

SAVINGS DEPOSITS GROW.

Savings deposits in banks and trust companies are at the highest point in the history of the Am ercan people according to the latest statistics Total savings stand at s2848499 2oOO showing a gain of $26719OOOo in the fastest twelve-month period for which figures available, as compared to loss of s195 305 GOO in the midst of the recent boom times
 Couple with this the fact that 100000 mem bers of 5000 Christmas savings clubs soon will re- ceve s632 100000 another record breaking figure and we have convincing proof of the basic sta- bility of the American people and reinsurance as to this nations future
 More people are saving now, than ever before. The nation has gotten back to the old thrift idea, compared to the speculation insanity of 192S-929. Depositors in this years Christmas savings clubs reveal for instance, that 62 per cent. of the $632 100000 they laid by this year is P be expended in useful channels.

FOREIGN INTEREST IN AMERICAN
 ELECTION.

An Associated Press dispatch says Italian wine producers displaying great interest in American election results and looking forward eagerly toward possible changes in the American laws as the loss of the American market has had important effect them
 We can also imagine that other producers in that and other countries are not unmindfu of the prospect that the election the United States may result in tariff changes that would open American markets for products that being pressed hard.
 There time when important school of American economists would look upon this condition evidence that Americans were benefittng through the fought times of foreign producers But we see foreign trade shrinking rapid rate more and people beginning to have broader outlook. As matter of fact this loss of American trade does not only make it impossible for foreign to buy heavily from but it inspires them to boycott producers.
 In Canada right now there is intensive cam paien to induce the people to use Canadian goods wherever that is possible and where not possible to buy from other countries than the United States. Recent visitors to Yukon and Northern British Columbia points have found that situation to prevail there California fruits are being discarded for those from Bermuda the West Indies and Central Am erica Other American products giving place to those of Europe The purpose is to use as little American goods possible An American that shortly returned from Canada said that Canadians believe they can reduce their American importatons to the extent of s5OoOOOOO a year; which means that they intend to cut them in half.
 No fair minded American can blame the Canad- ians for this attitude. We cannot expect to erect an unsurmountabe tariff wall without having to meet like treatment
 However foreign countries not so irrevocably committed to high tariffs discrimination against Americans that we may not expect change in them if we should go back to the fair trade policy of the Underwood Tariff Of decade or more ago.
 The Prince Rupert News, recently commenting upon the Canadian tariff and trade at home policy of the present Canadian Administration, said

 claims that we have not always been in
 favor of buying Canadian goods but they
 are wrong At different times this paper
 has advocated 1t.

New YOrk's Noises.
Manchester Guardian.)

There is a rather hackneyed incentive to effort which observes that if 8 thing is worth doing It is worth doing we'll and that seems to have been the attitude of a Noise Abatement Commission which has just presented New York with some three hundred pages of recommendations for the silencng of urban uproar Confronted with innumerable constituents large and small, of a horrible row, the commission seems to have taken the line of sack the lot" It is not enough that shipping should be equipped with softer siren for sounding within range of city streets loud speakers which dispense the wireless programs should also be toned down Trans should be abolished, there should be rubber tracks for the elevated railways and the horses should have padded $hoofs Barking dogs should be suppressed and so should all motors with noisy horns and stertorous engines. One would almost expect to find recommendations for the encour- agement of sore throatS, that all citizens might be forced to speak in a whisper. The program seems too thorough to be practca-or even pleas ant Those who asked for a little less noise have been presented with outline for sound-proo1 sanctuary which is not quite the same thing It would be uncanny to dwell in city which had suppressed noise so thoroughly; might easily find the residents escaping to the country for the welcome sound of growing cock or horses hoo1s or moving machine at work. It is one thing to ask for little quiet; it is another to be offered a desolation One suspects the commission of mak- ing counsel of perfection in despair of their abll
 ity to achieve any real relief at all. Their ideal is to suppress everything, from noisy trans to barking dogs because the general tumult will continue as before If you are very doubtful about your ability to move anything at all, it is at least grand gesture to demand clean sweep of everything
