Mental and Moral.
(Boston News Bureau)

For long while the proJagonsts of Prohibition calmly (and rather successfully assumed great mental as well as moral superiority over all who dared question it. That vantage has shrunk visiby of ate-ust there have been other serious losses or defectons. It suffers another grave impairment with the declaration by Pres Hopkins of Dart mouth against both the Amendment and the Vol stead Act
 It is the tone as well as the logic of his we'll matured reasoning which carries most weight from this particular angle. Admittedly much of the popular resentment against Prohibition has been inarticulate (save at election), or else seemingly flippant where it artcuate; but here is 10 such criticism of the critic possible
 The sincerity of devotion to real temperance, expressed as a premise, is beyond doubt-heght- ened by his long keeping silent his disbelief in the "perncious" theory in a hope that Prohibition might conduce to temperance. But it hasn't; and he catalogues it's practical failures as well as cogently states the central defects of the theory There is the personally observed "saturaton" over the country plus the financial building up of an underworld empire' From the legal angle there is the wrong function thrust the Constitution in sumptuary statutes decreeing personal conduct and the surrender of Federalized bureaucracy
 Such calm but strong criticism this cannot be brushed aside by "holier than thou" or smart than thou gesture. This type of university dis sent has been increasing, not decreasing Pres. Hopkins had predecessor in the strictures by Pres. Butler. In effect, in the deadly parallel drawn by Pres. Lowell last year in the Atlantic to the fate of amendments of Reconstruction days. In fact, also in the first veto by ex-university head-Woodrow Wilson. And all these have been students of governments and constitutions
 The old assumption of mental and moral mon- opoly has been rapidly disintegrating. Damages to it have become palpable, just have other sorts of damages which have with experience be- come more evident-frst of all to the Constitution and to temperance. And so far morality per SC goes, the doubt still persists to how a "legisla tive lie" comports with that

try is contained. He is as uncompromising an enemy of the old saloon trade the Anti-Saloon League itself is. But he speaks in terms of tenn perance by education and precept rather than through legal force. He is defender of the doc
 Urine of State rights and individual liberties whose championship has for him the highest marks of regard his own State bestow of its sons.
 Not only that he stands out today as one of the leading possibilities for the Democratic Party1 candidate for President in 1882. This is the even- tual development that the Dry organization fears It says so with the utmost frankness It goes even further and declares it will say great deal more about it in the coming weeks" In other words it's propaganda will be directed against Gov Roosevelt in effort to frightening his party out of giving him it's next national nomination. That is a game it has played many occasions in the past. It has attempted to dictate nominations for offices of varying ranks within both of the big parties, and in than such occasion it has been suc- cessful.
 But the time when it repeat it's former victories to be drawing to a close. The results of the election last November show it's power wan ing. It doesn't seem very likely that it ef- fectively play 'bogey-man in 1882, far the Democrats are concerned if that party is convinced it can win the election under the leadership of Gov Roosevelt

DEATH TAKES A FRIEND.

In the death at Seattle New Years Eve or Charles G. Heifner, the State of Washington loses a foremost citizen and Alaska staunch and powerful friend His unexpected demise, caused by sudden attack of pneumonia, shocks the many persons who in the course of his manifold activities came to know him we'll to admire him for his exceptional talents and to love him for his gentle nature. In private endeavor and in civic enterprise he will be sadly missed by business associates and trusting public in countless hearts grappled to him by his kindly deeds his place never will be filled again
 Of late years MT. Heifner prominent in investment and financial undertakings For more than three decades, he was an outstanding figure in the public affairs of his commonwealth and an untiring advocate of movements for the up- building of this Territory.
 In Washington, MT. Heifner had served IS In surance Commissioner and had represented Seat tie district in the State Senate. Last fall he was chosen by the Democratic Party as its Congress ional candidate, and in Republican stronghold, impregnable since before the beginning of the pres ent century made the contest comparatively close.
 For Alaska MT. Heifner achieved notable results. He helped in bringing about the present form Of Territorial Government. To him much as to any other one man, credit is due for interesting Federal authorities in the project for the railroad between Seward and Fairbanks. He journeyed to Princeton N. J. to urge the undertaking on Woodrow Wilson after the latters first election to the Presidency but before his inauguration, and subsequently made two trips to the national capital to enlist the support of Cabinet officers and to present facts to Congressional committees In the late campaign his platform stressed Liberalization of Alaskas laws to allow freer development of the Territory"
 MT. Heifner's labors long, well as faith full He was 66 years old. Yet his end seems un- timely. Of commanding appearance his vigor was unimpaired his brlliancy of intellect undimmed, his interest in business sustained and his concern in the public welfare not at all lessened until his brief, fatal illness
 Truly the good he did will long survive him. Death but strengthens cherished memories of his useful life

A Labor for Hercules.
(NeW York Times.)


 Britain has assigned to her most difficult colonial post that proconsul who during long and emin- ent career has accomplished many prodiges through his notable equipment of tact and sympathetic un- derstanding. These achievements have been wrought by Viscount Wilmington largely among people of his own race As Vceroy of Indian he will be asked to conduct successful conciliation policy through tangled, perilous and alien a condition as any of Great Britain's Governors has ever met In Australia and in Canada the ethnic situation with which Lord Willingdon has dealt has been relatively simple the political India is land swarming with many and colorS and castes as it has problems.
 The new Viceroy is famous for his charm. Doubt is expressed in London whether charm can carry him through the treacherous jungle of Indian af fairs Also he is GA, and comment at home con- cerns itself with the heavy burdens of the Vice royship upon elderly shoulders. It is significant however that the British Government, with choice of imperial worthes which included General Shuts of South Africa selected Lord Willingdon as the best qualified man, in its opinion He is known to be friendly to the natonastic aspiration of the Indian peoples and yet at the same time he has a high estimate of the essential ties of empire. He may leave his repute on India's pains-the hazard which faces any man who goes as Viceroy in these days-but is believed of Lord Wilmington that he has better chance than most Englishmen to cap his career with a great climax.
 The new ruler of British India knows the coun- try we'll AS Governor in the Madras Presidency his graceful personal qualities, while they brought him the reputation of being "easy going" also won for him fame liberal administrator. The time may when, to preserve the Indian Empire, Great Britain may turn the Raj over to hard-fisted soldiers. Meanwhile, the history of her Asian policy that she will exhaust every effort with men like Wilingdon, to solve their natonastic problem in India by conciliation. When Ireland is remem- bered, miracle impossible of achievement in British policy. If he shall in any degree aay the dangers which face his Government in India, the new Viceroy will take a high place in history

TRAIN WEATHERMEN FOR NEW
 AIRWAY STATIONS.

The United States Department of Agriculture is training weather forecasters in a class at the Weather Bureau in Washington to fill positions throughout the country in the expanding aviation weather service.
 The Government is adding about 1900 miles of teletype lines this year to a network that had already grown to 7,200 miles since passage of the air commerce act in 1926 By means of weather stations established these lines the Weather Bureau will be supplying weather forecast service to aviators along $500 miles of airways.
 All students in the forecasters' training class from the Weather Bureaus meteorological stations scattered over the country. All have had training in making weather observations and are now learning how to forecast weather conditions.
 Airway weather observers are stationed at all emergency landing fields along the arways served by the Weather Bureau. They send their reports to the airports. where forecasts issued to aviators The older aviation weather stations on lines of heaviest travel give 24-hour service to the fliers but only daytime service is given along those airways not yet fully equipped for night flying.
 c. F. Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau says that expansion of the aviation weather service in the immediate future after this years program goes Into effect will consist primarily of increasing service along the airways already being served.
