GAME LAWS

That WrangelI reads its local newspaper was shown Saturday when applications were made to Charles Benjamin for resident hunt ing licenses. This was a result of 8 Sentinel editorial regarding game laws in which mention was made that a resident Alaskan paid one dollar for a hunting license.
 MT. Benjamin assured the ap- plicants that a license was not needed. The Sentinel's authority for the statement was the following paragraph in the pamphlet issued for this year by the Alaska Game Commission:
 The Alaska Game Commission is authorized, wherever it shall be deemed expedient, to require resi- dents, of the Territory to procure resident hunting licenses. This ra- quirement has not heretofore been put into effect for the reason that the fee prescribed for such license was S2. which was in addition to a like fee for a resident trappi lg license. An amendment to this sec tion reduces the fee for a resident hunting license from S2 to $1 and provides that a persCn holding q resident trapping license shall be entitled to hunt without a hunting license"
 It appears, however, that after publishing the Laws and Regula- tions Relating to Game, Land Fur Bearing Animals and Birds in AL aska," the Commission evidently decided not to require a resident to procure a hunting license.
 However, if a resident wishes to hunt black bear, he must get a trapping licsnse-as black bears are net classified as game animals but as fur animals. No protection in the way of a close season is ac- corded the black bear, the low market price fer his fur whi,a has prevailed for some time, bel ,g his best protector.
 Mr. Benjamin has long advocated  that the deer should be taken out of the big game classification and given a classification of it's own, and in common with a number of ether Alaska sportsmen, believes that the nonresident license fee should be adjusted and the regula- tions for, deer hunting modified to some extent
 Nonresidents should not share equally with residents in game privileges, but many believe that a modification is in order so that a workingman, as distinguished from a newcomer on a sightseeing vaca- tiOn, should be allowed to pay a Ii- cense fee lower than the $50 fee now required.
 Notwithstanding there are so many ''ifs, ands and buts" to be considered, that it is doubtful if a change will ever be made. And the few nonresidents interested in get ting deer will continue to accom- pany residents on a deer hunt, just to look at the scenery while the resident gets the deer.

Surplus In Name Only

We hear much of surplus production, said Alexander Legge, former chairman of the Farm Board, in recent radio address. but think few of us realize the food re- serves of the world are not so very great after all. In truth. they are SO small that any serious and widespread disaster to pro- duction would put all of us on short rations in a short time" Should the nations pray for widespread disaster? Or should they pray for straight thinking and honest do- ing and courageous initiative?
 It seems to be as true now as it was at the beginning of the current hard times, that the world is suffering from so-ealled over- production simply because no one knows how to get goods and food properly dis tributed. The Communists thought they had way. but it isn't working out as they expected. The capitalist nations thought they knew all about it. but their system is laboring under great difficulties after one of its worst breakdowns. There is reas- onable solution. of course. Who will work it out. and when?

Politics And Personalities

The next Congress will include some or the queerest assortments of state delegations in the Senate that have ever been witnessed From Ohio we will have the garrulous nervous Simeon Fess and retiring. serene Robert Bulkley. Colorado sends us Charles Waterman, republican reactionary. and Ed ward F. Costlgan, p csressive democrat Louisiana has replaced sedate MT Ransdell with flamboyant Huey P. Long. who IS contrast also to his unobtrusive colleague. Senator Broussard. Cordell Hull of Iennes see. scholarly and metlculous of speech, will represent the same electorate as does Ken meth McKellar who is sometimes hot tenn pered and very often rash in his utterances.
 In addition. there will be the anomalies that have existed for some time. Pennsyl- vsnia's two senators, elegant, lugubrious David Reed and booming, beaming 'Pud- dler Jim' Davis constitute the most amus- ine contrast in officadom. It is impossi- ble even to compare flaming Hiram John- son, Calfornia's senior senator. with the junior senator. Solemn Sam" ShortridGe. Borah has so far overshadowed his colleague John Thomas. that there actually are few -sn1le who can recall tbe latters name.

Pity the ''Perfect Child"

If you have that ideal of millions of parents. perfect child" you should really worry according to Dr Ralph Hamill. head of the Illinois Society of Mental Hygiene "A parent has more reason to fear for the future of the so-ealled good child than the mischievous one The latter is the experi- mentor and will make progress. The boy or girl who always does exactly and without questioning what his parents tell him will be simply second edition of his parents, and that means social stagnation. fit he doesn't dsobey to some extent and go his own way. there will never be any progress. If every- one did just as he is told. no one would ever get anywhere"
 There should be comfort in that doctrine for many fathers and mothers. Also for many children. who have been led to fear. in spite of their better knowledge that they are doomed to be failures and perhaps criminals.

lights. He lifts a volume from shelf gently and holds 1t carefully as he glances through it. "Ah!" he breathes rapturously. Then he turns to you. Lucky chap" he says, ''to have this volume. I didn't know there was a first folio of So-and-So anywhere but in the collections of plutocrats." ectsd
 Confronted with 50 much wist- full longing, can you simply assent, smile meekly, and let the moment pass? Knowing that the man would willingly give his last pair of boots for privilege of reading the volume, can you deny him? Take it along and look it over at your leisure, why don't you?"
 You watch him take it away" Some of the warm glow of gen. erosity encircling your heart has cooled. You wonder sadly if you will ever see the book again, for experience has taught you that too often you won't.
 The coining of the word "book- sneaf" is the result of an attempt by the Book Publishers Research Institute to eradicate one species of book borrowers. By conducting a contest for the purpose of find ing a name to describe negligent book borrowers they have un- earthed this terse, descriptive term with which to brand the per son who empties his friends bookshelves. Perhaps "booksneaf' will take its place along with 'scoff-law" in discouraging a culpable practice by placing 1t among the social improprieties.

Where France Failed

If may be that the financial panic assail- ing Central Europe in recent days. ana threatening to spread wider. was inevitable. It may be that not even the efforts Of our government and bankers in behalf of war dept moratorium could have staved it off. But this doleful conclusion is far from certain. And if there is one country to blame TOT the grief and menace that have developed since the first of July. that country IS France.
 No good citizen of any country wants to say harsh things of another country, tor the nations are now all neighbors. But when an important neighbor will not be nelgh- borly. something has to be said sooner or later. France has agreed. on the whole, to nearly all the things that were fundamental in the moratorium plan, but agreed so re. luctantly and tardily. and with such bad grace, that half the proper effect was lost.
 The essence of the American proposal was its open gesture of friendliness and helpfulness to one of the big fraternity ot nations in dire distress. It was the spirit, rather than the letter, of the plan which electrified the world and for few days put hope into peoples hearts and into cabinet rooms and stock exchanges everywhere. he French government objected. hesltated. crit icised and chilled that spirit, until finally its grudging acceptance lacked power to per form what else might have been miracle of economic revival.
 It is hard to blame France. She has sui fered great wrongs and cannot forget. but here was an opportunity to rise above re- sentiment to real greatness and Trance, still cherishing her bitterness against Germany was not great enough. As a result. France herself will suffer. There are times when a nation. like an individual. must throw caution to the winds and let her best self prevail. As we do that, civilization gets ahead and humanity begins to realize its possibilities

Restless Rest

We may not get proper amount of exercise during our waking hours, but in- tensive researeh work on sleep seems to in- dieate that we get good deal of exercise during the night. According to the doctor who has been studying sleepers at the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research during the past six years there is no such thing as sleeping like log" Only person heavily drugged lies quiet all night.
 A sleeping man shifts his position about once in seven minutes. woman once in T. minutes. child between 2 and 4 years old once in seven and one-half minutes, and SO on. Almost everyone. the observers say. turns from kitten coil to prone sprawl to supine sprawl and back again to some variation of the kitten coil from 22 to 64 times in an eight-hour night" It's enough to make one tired just to think of it. Better not think of it. Scientists can do that for us. The important thing is to sleep. how ever it's done, and to waken refreshed.

NOW TO REFORM THE BOOKSNEAF

(Christian Science Monitor.)
 What do you call the person who borrows your favorite book or umbrella and forgets to return 1t? We'll. that's your own affair, or at least 1t has been up to the present time. Now there is a new word, highly descriptive, which you may apply to the book bor- rower, if you like. The word is "booksneak." The dictionaries of the future probably will define it.:
 Booksneaf: A person who ha- bitually borrows books and ne- glects to return them; 8 victim to the pernicious habit of carrying away books from homes and li- braries of friends and even casu- al acquaintances.
 Now the booksneaf-you may as well get used to the term-is not to be confused with the type of person who by intention per- manent1y "borrows" articles. On the contrary, the booksneaf as most most people know him is an innocent, amiable person, a genu- inc lover of books. When he looks over your modest library with the keen, discerning eyes of a connoisseur you are glad to have found a man who appreciates good books. Suddenly his face

Stream Pollution

The state water commission might well be called upon to investigate conditions in the Hop Brook of Middlebury. According to reports of residents in the neighborhood the state troopers, who unearthed still Tn the section last week, emptied the mash from the still into a tributary of Hop Brook. Dead trout by the score have been picked up in the stream, one man reporting a ffteen-inch beauty. The state police have denied that they poured the mash into the nearby brook and claim that the owners of the still themselves did this in getting rid of the waste. However. it is odd that the dis covery of dead fish and tipsy animals and fowls was not made until after the still had been raided and dismantled.
 With the state making serious effort to clean up stream pollution and tri- state commission now working to clean up the coastal waters and tidal rivers ot Connecticut, New York and New Jersey 1t is discouraging to find newer ways of pol luting our streams. Nothing could be more deleterous than mash or other residue from a still. From descriptions of Hop Brook the once clear stream has almost degenerated into cesspool at spots so murky IS the water and so coated its surface. An inves- tgation by the state water commission might not be amiss. At least the state game and fish commission should have Its at- tention called to the case.
 If as the state troopers maintain, the owners of the still are to blame for the con- dition of the brook, then an additional charge should be preferred against them and their cases reopened in the Mddlebury court However, if the state police were careless in getting rid of the eonfseated mash then there should be some orders from headquarters relative to future disposals Of like substances. Also we think that con- munties should set an example by not emp tying beer and other conhscated liquors down the sewers where they eventually ind their way into rivers or ponds and add to the contamination. Some other way of de- stroyng these illegal beverages might well be found.

Washington-If Governor Frank
 lin D. Roosevelts progress toward
 the democratic presidential .noma
 ination isn't slowed down the forces which oppose him will soon
 be in the sad position of the stop
 Hoover and stop-Smith movements of 1928.
 There Is such a thing as a can- didate getting out so far in front that you can't possibly catch him and trip him up. Smith and Hoov- CT proved that. In a few months
 1t Is likely to appear that Roose- welt is another candidate of the same sort.
 The party has other good mate-
 rial. but Roosevelt appears to be
 accommodating the support. Many
 democrats would like to nominate
 Newton D. Baker and there is
 scattered backing for owen D.
 Young and Al Smith has a large
 following. There will have to be a
 more concentrated opposition to
 Roosevelt than now appears to ex-
 ist if the New York governor is
 going to be stopped. The trend of
 sentiment and strength has been
 largely in his direction for many
 months.
 Guffey's Boost
 Some observers have considered Roosevelt almost as good as nom-
 mated since Joe Guffey, democrat ic boss in Pennsylvania, flatly de- clared for him. The Guffey decla-
 ration reminded one of the effect
 created when Boss Bill Ware of Pennsylvania declared for Hoover on the eve of the Kansas City convention three years ago, al- though Ware really only gave the band-wagon a final, unnecessary
 shove. Guffey, however, was able to promise 60 or more Roosevelt delegates and he has put a seri- ous crimp in the supposed hopes of the Smith- Raskob faction to form an anti-Roosevelt faction
 among the very practical demo-
 cratic bosses in such states as H. linois. Pennsylvania, New York,
 New Jersey and Massachusetts who control a very large flock of delegates. It seems likely that in the 1882 convention Guffey will be
 controlling larger bloc of votes from one state than any other sin gle individual.
 The main weakness of any | Smith -Raskob plot that may be
 brewing is that democrats all through the south and west are grimly determined to thwart any seem doubtful whether Smith and Smith Raskob plot. It begins to Raskob, assuming, as many do,

One of the walters made the mistake of selling bottle of ale to an undercover agent who promptly seized the sample and pinched the place. Inasmueh as the restaurant is right in the heart of the theatrical district and is favorite after the- ater resort the arrest attraced well over thousand people to the scene.
