Experts Not Wanted?
(New York World -Telegram0


 The administration of President Hoover was well comed as the dawn of a and scientific era in government in which engineers, scientists and ex- perts would the ship of State the politicians be sent to the galleys In view of recent events, however one begins to wonder if the expert aboard this ship isn't about as popular as was the late MT. Jonah on that leaky tramp schooner enroute to Tarsus
 The first inkling of the Hoover coolness toward experts was the prompt dumping in the White House basket of protest of 1000 economists against signing of the Hawley-Smoo tariff act. Then there the story of similar fate that befell recommendations by Colonel Arthur Woods, of the Emergency Employment Commission.
 The highly exported Wickershame Commission has not been free from political tinkering, shown by the modified report Prohibition and the shev- ing of the Stern-Pollak expert account of the Mooney Billings trials
 Finally there came the open charge by Dr. Ray O. Hall Commerce Department finance specialist, that he was fired because he refused to doctor his report in the interest of political considerations.
 Professor James Harvey Rogers, of Yale, sees in all these incidents "a tendency apparent in Wash ington to hide expert findings behind false front of political expediency." He wonders how long men of science would offer their services to gov- ernment that ignored or misused their reports.
 We were led to believe that this would be scientific administration" said Dr. Rogers. Tn in- terpreting the data of experts it appears that often officials have been guided by political considerations rather than by scientific realism
 The criticism is serious Tired of muddling through with the politicians the people chose MT Hoover as their first expert in the White House in the hope and belief that he would make their intelligent.
 If he now has deserted his own experts for the devious ways of the politicians the people may well feel a sense of betrayal.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED.

The New York World-Teegram complains that President Hoover has ceased to be the engineer and scientist and expert the people believed him to be and has become a politician. Tired of muddlng through with politicians, the people chose MT. Hoover it says "as their first expert in the White House in the hope and belief that he would make their democracy intelligent If he now has deserted his experts for the devious ways of politicians the people may well feel sense of betrayal"
 Perhaps but matter of fact what else could expect? MT. Hoover was an engineer, scientist and expert but not of the science of gov ernment of leading people, of getting legislation applicable to conditions.
 The people rejected, when they elected MT. Hoover probably the greatest expert in the science of government and the most effective leader of people in political action the country has produced in a half-century or more. The master engineer in government, the who nearly reduced government a science the greatest expert in lead ing through the intracacies of self-govern- ment to definite action in our time former Gov. Alfred E. Smith. More experts who have examined the record have arrived at this conclusion than have agreed on any other thing in recent political history.
 People do not select agrculturist to build ship They do not try to make a political economist out of a chemist. They do not select baseball expert to manage a railroad Why should
 
 engineer to manage a self governing nation? An engineer or an astronomer any other expert would require special training to qualify him exactly as leader of millions of people and the director of their government.
 No matter who might be chosen for President he would have to do as it is charged President Hoover has done. He would have to take into account politics and politicians They tools that must be used in the building. MT. Hoover is an expert in his line. So was Gov Smith in his but the latters line the science of govern ment MT. Hoover's not He is getting training in that line.
 It ought to be admitted by his Democratic and 1nsurgent opposition that President Hoover is getting experience in the game of politics, domestic and n- ternational, that might help him. in the event of second term, to avoid many things that have caused difficulties during his first term. Many people have grown while in office. It took several years for Lincoln to develop into statesman and master political leader. Few people have the apt- tude of Wilson for leadership without previous ex- perience Cleveland though he had had little political experience Governor of the great State of New York for two years before he became President.
 We have had experience in Alaska in that line. Everybody who has observed knows that Gov Clark grew into good executive before a change in the Administration cut short his tenure.

Col. o. F. Ohlson Doing Good Work.
Fairbanks News-Miner.0

Under the able management of Colonel O. F. Ohlson the Alaska Railroad has unusually large number of workers employed this summer on main- tenance and rehabilitation work, with promise ot full season of employment.
 The rehabilitation program outlined three years ago by General Manager Ohlson created more work for Alaska working men than ever before since the days of construction.
 The order issued recently covering the age limit in sense protected the Alaska working men, a great number of elderly men came to this section of Alaska from the Outside seeking em- ployment. There is no question there quite a few men over the age of 50 and 60 years rendering capable service, Col Ohlson stated to a represen- tative of the News-Miner and since the issuance of the order IA Alaskans have been employed who are over the age of 50 years. The General Manager said he had great sympathy for elderly people and all who are physically fit have been given work when vacancies occurred.
 At the present time there 1860 people now working for the Alaska Railroad, $50 being employed maintenance work.

Sad Fate of an Eskimo.
(New York Times.)


 The news that Eskimo hunter went violently insane after witnessing his first movie will be no surprise to the authors of Once in Lifetime" !" Nor will it particularly asonish P. G. Wodehouse, who told how he had drawn a large at Holly wood weekly and had never been asked to do any work.
 The dispatch from Copenhagen where the un- fortunate denizen of the Arctic Circle was taken after his seizure at the Faroes, did not give the name of the movie. That would be invaluable in- formation to the actors, the producer and the di rector. To the press-a agent it would afford a opportunity to fill the advertising columns with legends like this: Hot Mammas,' The Film Which Drove Eskimo Crazy. The Tedium of Six-Month Nights at the Pole Did Not Feaze Him Polar Bears and Walruses Had No Effect Him But the First Sight of. Jeanne Jenneton and Huntington Rhubrash in Hot Mammas Made Him Wild See It Yourself and Discover Why"
 Doubtless the Eskimo will get well and return to the Arctic regions to hunt and fish again and to guide expeditions over the wastes Should he at any time in the future develop alarming signs Iof recurrence, simple test be applied to determine his real condition. If he says that he wants to another movie then he has gone crazy again.

WINNINGS OF RACE HORSES.

According to the New York World Almanac the press dispatch that said Sunbeau had become the greatest money earner among the worlds race horses was erroneous. The dispatch said Sunbeaus winnings had reached total of $33Oo44, beating Gallant Foxs record by Sl,879. The World Almanac places the earnings of Ksar the famous French horse of few years ago, at s335340.

 If William Gibbs MacAdoo could be persuaded to enter the Demo- cratic lists, he would at once com mand the support of the South and battle royal in the conven- tion, if not surpassing that of 1924 would assuredly occur, with this Pacific Coast State adding to his advantageous position. In the case of his nomination, California would be pre- -eminently in the lime light with two standard bearers-Hoover and McAdoo-and might hold the balance of power as it did in 1916.

polls and tend to produce general
 political disruption. The insur-
 gent group, headed by Norris and LaF'ollette, are favorable to the
 idea of independent action, and fain would fight out the water power issue on the stump but are hesitant in the absence of mili-
 tant leader other than Governor Clifford Pinchot, an extremist in antagonism of capital, whose avail ability is seriously questioned. Nor ris is likely to be aligned with Franklin D. Roosevelt, in case of his nomination as he was aligned with G ov ernor Smith in 1928. Whether the electorate could be acutely aroused over the problems of public utilities is problematical. It is a live issue only in spots.
 
 Tn the event that both old par ties evade stand on Prohibition and pussy-foot the issue, a revolt of the "drys" is fore-ordained and should they put third ticket in the field, both old parties would suffer incalcubale losses. The south would break up in parts If not as a whole, while the cities might turn one way or the other. Thus, the outcome would render uncertain the extreme. Dixie will interpose stubborn objection to a Democratic platform favoring re- peal, and place reliance on the thirds convention rule to pre- vent it; while the western states can be counted upon to oppose giving the slightest aid or comfort to the "wets" by the Republican Viewed from any stand point, the outlook for 1882 is thor oughly disquieting and laden with trouble.
 The party of Jefferson and Jack son did not elect President for a quarter of a century after the Civil War. Then, Grover Cleve- land was victorious on the issues of Civil Service Reform and a lower tariff. Four years later, he went to defeat and the Republicans came back into power. With a re- verse swing of the pendulum, Cleve- land was given reelection in 1892, but this time, finance dis placed taxation as the issue. Yet, four years later, the Democrats met another overthrow when Will liam Jennings Bryan captured the on a Free Silver wave, i only to be defeated by William Mc- kinley, a reco g ized bi-betalist, out who won by espousing the gold standard.
 For sixteen years the Republi- ,ans held sway under Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and then the party went to pieces disastrously when Taft, who had won over in 1908, carried but two states of the Union, as a can didate for collection.
