BETTER COOPERATION NEEDED.

Our attention has been called to the circumstance that lumber is not the only Outside cargo the Boxer brings north on her regular trips. Groceries, hard ware and other things purchased in the States and distributed on the craft throughout Alaska.
 And this suggests that the Government only partly did the job when it moved the Alaska branch of the Bureau of Education to Juneau and left the purchasing agency in Seattle The whole thing ought to have been moved here so as to make purchasing in Alaska convenient and more general
 And that suggests that it might be a good thing for the Bureau to sell the Boxer and patronize the steamers that ply Alaskan waters on regular schedules and thus aid them to improve their freight and passenger service. If Aaskans would cooperate in these matters it would promote devel opment and contribute to comfort and happiness

] Don't yield to first impulses and accuse th' United States Senate of taking unconscionabl' time in framing a tariff bill It is all matter o comparison. True it is that the extra session fol writing tariff bill met March 5, 1929, and that l II we are lucky and get a bill before July 4, the work will have taken sixteen months. True it is that in sixteen months the following tasks might have been accomplished:
 Four Constitutions of the United States could have been written The Convention of 1787 sat just four months.
 John Milton might have written three books of Paradise Lost" Christopher Columbus could have discovered seven continents the size of North and South America.
 lof the Nicense Creed of A. D. 325 might have been framed
 Napoleon could have returned nearly five times from Elba and met his fate at Waterloo.
 Abraham Lincoln could have composed and de- livered 4so Gettysburg Addresses
 The Graf Zeppelin could have flown nearly twenty times around the world
 Let it be admitted, then that compared with other events of world-shakng importance the progress of the Hawley Shoot bill has been bit leisurely. But, on the other hand, it has moved almost with Twentieth Century Limited speed com pared with

AN INTERESTING POLITICAL STRAW

An interesting political straw is the circumstance that Parson Mcbride and the other Illinois dries are counting upon the Chicago gangland vote to elect Mrs Mccormick, bone dry, to the Senate They figure that the Chicago racketeers think more of sustaining Mayor Bill Thompson's machine than they do of delivering a back-eye to Pro- hibiton In fact it is thought that the racketeers and murderers prefer Prohibition to regulated liquor traffic It is only under Prohibition that their trade can be made to continue to yield large if bloody, profits. At any rate, it is said, the gangs and gangsters, racketeers and machine gunmen are lining up to carry Chicago for the dry candidate for Sena- tor and Parson Mcbride is welcoming their support with joy and thanksgiving.
