MIR. NORRIS AND THE NATIONAL
 COMMITTEE.

MT Norris who is offended because the Re- publican National Committee fails to recognize his brand of Republicanism possibly has ground for complaint the method the Committee used in opposing his candidacy for renomination in Ne braska but certainly he cannot with reason crticise it for not wanting to bed him down with the faithful" The Nebraska statesman has of his own motion pursued path at right angles from that travelled by the party whose cognomen he seeks to If the spokesmen for that organization object to his of the partys label, it has the un- doubted right to make that objection effective if it can
 IL is not enough that the Republicans of Ne braska consider him good enough Republican" to elect and re-eect him to the Senate. In these days of bocs and cliques, facts of this kind do not constitute a complete defense but may be consd- cred as only prma facie evidence which may or may not not stand up under examination and trial. In the Norris case apparently the National organi- zaton has decided the sort of Republcansm that satisfactory to the Nebraska branch of the party is not the kind it recognize. This is more than passing strange, too since the canvas under which the G. O. P show is housed a null titude of varieties of the faith, and the Norris brand is not the queerest of the lot Of course, if Nebraska Republicans discontented with the dictum of the National Committee they con- tnue to return MT Norris to the Senate a sort of oneman party, or desert the party fold in a body to become armer-Labor what have you.
 Had the C. O. P. leaders been overt in their opposition in Nebraska to MT. Norris, they would have been better advised. It not politically treacherous to have opposed him in the primary election It had right to be interested in the sort of Republican Nebraska sent to Washington. But frankness would have been wiser than secrecy, particularly in the matter of financing the opposition campaign.

A DELUXE PRISON.

Something altogether novel in the way of prisons is about to be demonstrated by the Federal Gov ernment in penitentiary to be erected at undreamed of in existing penal institutions will be provided for individuals who have afoul of Fed era statutes "Durance vile' will lose it's meaning in the plant When complete and in opera tion the phrase Stone walls do not a prison make iron bars a cage" will become plished fact since there will be a minimum of both.
 One feature conspicuous by it's absence will be the tiered of steel cages common to present day penitentiaries.

A few inside cell blocks provided in which will Others will be given the opportunity to work up from cells into barracks domtories and finally which approximate the living quarters of normal persons Only private individual baths are missing from the plans.
 The Government is seeking by the experiment to reduce disorders among its prison population not only by improving the environments within the prison walls but by adding to facilities which the convicts to improve their minds and profitably spend their time. The prisoners will be given an opportunity to attend school voca- tionaI training classes and work in prison industries or the farm.
 One of the things the Government intends to seek in the new project will be conclusive answer to statements frequently made that all criminals mental defectives As each man enters the insti-

Overlooking An Opportunity.
(Cordova Times.)

NCOrdOVd llmeSD source of wealth and an opportunity for ex- pansion to add to the prosperity of Cordova awaits organization and enterprise by the people of the Copper River Gateway
 Cordova has not been unprogressive during the past years and should continue it's progress in the present and for the future. Fifteen years ago in 1915, July 30th, bank deposits in Cordova were $17O,1O4.74 On July 30 1930 the bank deposits here were $131074130.
 The tremendous growth bank deposits re- fleets the establishment of the salmon packing industry in Prince William Sound Prior to 1915 there were no canneries at Cordova.
 Last year the canneries of Cordova packed sal mon to the value of $3870O0O Labor at the can- neries was paid $6300OO and the fishermen received S837 800.
 For years the wealth of the salmon fisheries was entirely overlooked, and today there is an op- portunity, of almost equal value, which is being as completely neglected
 Cordova is the ideal location of crab cannery The Japanese crab packers have depleted their own source of raw material and are sending huge cannery ships to the Boring Sea and Bristol Bay areas packing Spider King crab from the wat CTS of Alaska, just outside the twelve-mile limit, transporting this product to Japan and thence ship ping the canned crab to the United States and selling it a profit after paying duty of approxi- mately S200 per to Government.
 Do you know that the waters of Prince William Sound contain untold quantities of these toothsome crustaceans Every halibut fisherman who has fished these waters has brought up dozens of them clnging to the hooks baited for halbut. Recent Investigations in trawling for shrimp disclosed the presence of large numbers of King crab in almost every part of the Sound.
 With Japan shipping $9000OOO worth of canned crab to this country with an abundance of raw material at door and with duty of S2.00 a to take of the difference in labor costs, does 1t not seem strange that not taking advantage of the opportunity? Every fisherman in Alaska complains of the seasonal character of his occupation. Crab may be canned ten months in the year. Are sluggish that afford to sit down all winter while the little brown man reaps the harvest we should be gathering?

PEOPLE TURNING AGAINST NATIONAL
 PROHIBITION.

In States Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Washington, Illinois and Rhode 1sland-containing population of 2800O000 the Re pubcans have committed their party to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and the restoration of the liquor traffic control to the separate States.
 That is pretty good progress for party to make in two years. In the meantime the Democratic Party is not only wet in the States mentioned but in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio Minnesota, South Dakota Michigan and several other States.
 The quicker that people realize that there can be progress toward temperance through con- tinuing the impossible attempt to enforce a pre- posterous National Prohibition law and decide to leave the matter for each State to solve for itself the more will be the States that will retain Pro- hbition after the Constitutional amendment and the Volstead Act fall

Factory Hands or Potential Citizens.
(NeW York World.)

In his final report as head of the Department of Labor Secretary Davis urges entirely new basis for the restriction of immigration. He would supplement the present quota system with the re- qurement that the number to be admitted at any given time be restricted to the actual needs of in dustry. This restriction would apply both to the quota countries of the Old World and to the non- quota countries of the Western Hemisphere. If a Canadian, for example, wished to the border and hunt for job in the United States he would be permitted to do so only if the Department of Labor had previously determined that there was need in this country for the work he was fitted to do
 In word, the admission of immigrants, instead of being based at present upon supposed abil- ity to assimilate peoples of various and na- tonates, would be governed by the need of our industries for hands" That would be a drastic change in national policy. Not his potentalities for citizenship but whether factories need him would determine whether foreigner would be allowed to seek home in the United States
 It is clearly right and proper that in period of industrial depression like the present. when
 there several million unemployed in this country, the restrictions immigration should be applied vigorously for the protection both of American workers and of the prospective immigrants them selves But this is quite different procedure from that proposed by Secretary Davis, who would have the Department of Labor vested at all times with the discretion of barring admitting any class of foreign workers in accordance with its idea of their chance of obtaining jobs
 That is fearful responsibility to vest in a gov ernment bureau. Suppose Alexander Hamilton AL bert Gaatin, Carl Schtrz, John Ericsson, Charles Steinmetz and even Secretary Davis himself had all been debarred because a Government official decided that there jobs available for them.

Psychologists have recently taken Is

plea Is for toleration Of the expression

would not discourage an occasional mild
