Paying for Prohibition.
fNew York World Telegraph

(NeW York World -Teegfam)
 The direct expenditures of the Bureau of Fro hibition in it's first year under the Department of Justice amounted to eight cents capita. accord ing to Prohibition Director Woodcock
 Such figures apt to be misleading, for the total cost of enforcement to the Federal Govern ment was great deal more than the amount spent by MT Woodcocks establishment.
 This year, for instance the Bureau of Prohibition has been allowed $11 900 by Congress The Bureau of Industrial Alcohol will spend close to $5O0oOoo. At least half and probably more of the Coast Guards appropriation of $33,0O0,00O will be used to check liquor smuggling
 The Department of Justice will spend at least 100000 its regular appropriation in prosecute ing and mprisoning Prohibition violators The Secret Service the Customs Service and the border patrols will spend other millions.
 So the total cost is somewhere around $45,000- OOo and MT. Woodcocks per capita estimate was based only on the $e,50OoOO his bureau spent last year.
 Nor is that per capita cost by any means equally divided International revenue statistics just pup shed show that in the last fiscal years that seven teen States which either have enacted or have repeal State enforcement laws pay about sixty per cent. of all income taxes They not only are Kept dry by their sister States but forced to foot most of the bills for the Prohibition army These States-California Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland Massachusetts, Min Inesota Missouri Montana. New Jersey Nevada New York Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont and Wsconsin-contan nearly half of the country's pop ulation some 600O00oO of our 122O0o0oo. The other half keeps them dry.

BOAT MARCNITA CHANGES NAME E
 TO POLAR BEAR
Bought by Guides, Takes Horses to
 Kodiak Island

Aboard a craft that called at Juneau yesterday was a string of trained pinto ponies for the use of big game hunters on Kodiak Island. The animals are on the 9o-foot long boat Polar Bear which arrived from Seattle with Captain Pete Wold and Charles Madsen on board.
 Other members on the vessel are J. w. Isackson, chief engineer; R. Hofstad, floating cannery man, Carl Hoel and Eddy Gjosund.
 Formerly the Margnita
 The Polar Bear was formerly the Margnita, on the mail run out of Juneau, and is about four years old. It was bought by the Kodiak Guides Association, with headquart- CTS at Kodiak, to be used for hunting parties, and is being taken north by c. Madsen, field manager for the association and Captain Wold, a well known halibut skip per. It is powered by a 200-horse- power diesel engine.
 The horses on board are all trained ponies with Arabian blood. Two of them are polo ponies. When the Polar Bear arrived at Kodiak it will pick up the regular hunting guides and crew and pro ceed to Kusilof, on the Aleutian Peninsula. The horses will then be taken up the river in river boats equipped with outboard mot ors for the use of hunting parties to hunt moose and sheep and black bear.
 Caribou and Bear
 Hunting parties also will be con- ducted to Broad Pass for caribou and later to Kodiak Island for brown bear.
 Among those already booked are MT. and Mrs. Thompson and MT. and Mrs. Jernstad of Carlton, Ore- gon, Dr. Kinsolving, of Bristol, Tennessee; Herman Koetlin, of De- troit, Michigan, President of a na- tionaly known tool concern, and later in the season, after she makes trip up the Stikine, Bar rett Willoughby, the Alaska author. Representatives of Fox News are included.

Our Native Speech.
((NeW York Times.)


 Few foreign writers, Englishmen, have been able to master dialects of the American language. They attempt frequently to reflect our native speech, but frequently fail. Edgar Wallace is fairly accurate in his use of underworld slang. No foreigner reproduce the Afro-Americanese either of Harlem of the South. In Juan in America" MT. Lnklater is letter perfect in the slang of the campus and the city, accurate that his English audience must require glossary. But rural America talk eludes him.
 master of this phraseology was recent visitor to New York. He is Urey Woodson of Owensboro, Ky, for long the Secretary of the Democratic Ma tional Committee. It was he who when asked concerning the chance of Alton B. Parker just be- fore the 1904 election remarked that the hogs eye is sot" When Bryan got his third nomination in 1908 MT. Woodson pointed out that you can't keep a squirrel the ground" This week, asked con- cernng the chances of young Mayor Harrison of Louisville, Republican nominee for Governor, to de- feat Judge Ruby Laffoon, countryman MT. Wood son said that the Mayor, while popular in the cities cant run fast plowed ground"
 Town-fast New Workers may not understand these locutions any better than Englishmen would. They are pure rural American.

British Census Deductions.
Manchester Guardian.)


 The preliminary reports on the census which have been published this week show that, though the death-rate has fallen appreciably the population ot England and Wales has increased by only little more than two millions. The brth-rate has stead fly declined until it has reached the low figure of 163 per thousand, less than half the birth-rate that was considered normal before 1890. The sta tistical experts say that continuation of the present tendencies will mean the reaching of popu- lation maximum during the next twenty years fol- lowed by decline This is the outstanding revelation of the census of 1881 Two other points of interest emerge. One is the dimnution in the preponder- ance of females males This preponderance, which rose high 1732.221 in 1921 as the result of the losses in the has fallen in the last ten years to 1670,243, and the recedes farther into the past the fall will become more marked. The remaining point of interest is the tendency for population to drift southward. The counties north of Cheshire and Yorkshire lost 443000 by migration during the past ten years Central Wales 5000 the Mdlands 81 900, and the Eastern region fl 000 The South, and especially the Southeast had compara- lively large gains.
