ture into light opera necessitated
the canceling of her engagement
here. To the equally unexpected
demise of the Chicago Opera was
due the possibility of hearing Halle
stiles in her place. She has been a
member of that company since she
came from the Opera Comique in
paris. where she was the one Ameri-
can singer carried on the regular
roster.
It was Miss Stiles first appear
ance in Washington. She demon
strated at once that she is a charm
ing singer both as to personality
and voice. She is young and she
has the qualities that make the
proper stage picture in such roles
as Mimi, in la Boheme." Her
voice is a soprano of sweet quality
except in certain portions, where
this sweetness Is roughened, and in
dificult high notes, which are a
little too covered. She sings. how
ever. with taste and care.
Edward johnson, who Is no new
conner to washington, sang the che
Gelida Mamma" from La Boheme."
This aria is not easy to sing without
preliminary warming up and Mr..
johnson deserves credit for manag-
ing it SO we'll and finishing with
ringing tones. He later sang two
groups of songs in which his virile
tenor voice lent itself to the differ
emf moods. Especially well done were
the "Invocazione" from the opera
"Eurydice," by Peri: the "Zomba,
Llari, Llari" (old Neapolitan song) by
Giannini, and the Lament of Ian
the Proud" by Charles Critics. An
effective number by Rhea w. Gable,
"Dogwood," was given spontaneous
applause, and Mrs. Gable, who was
present, together with Mrs. Eugene
Byrnes, who wrote, the words, were
called upon to respond to the ap-
probation of the audience.
The two charming arias from
Massenet's "Manon," "Adieu Notre
Petite Table" and the gavotte from
act 3 gave Miss Stiles the best OPP
portunities to show her delicate style.
The duet from the first act of La
Boheme," which finished the pro-
gram, suffered in its dramatic effect.
An unnecessary incubation of key
took away the brilliancy of the finale,
and the audience in its eagerness
to applaud interrupted before the
duet was finished.
This enthusiasm was manifested
throughout the program and the

That lump" you feel an hour or
so after eating, is a symptom of
slow stomach. This very common
condition can be remedied.
Instead of taking soda, or any,
thing else you must take the rest
of your life, try some diapepsin.
Each tablet saves half an hours
digestion time. If your stomach is
one hour slow in emptying, just
take two tablets of diapepsin and
all that gas, sourness, and distress
after meals will be gone.

canning; they went out Prince Of Wales District and did the same. But under the new law it would be illegal and wrong to move a floating cannery in- stead of moving the salmon.
 The logic of the Bureau Of Fisheries is something we cannot fathom. According to the recon raendations of MT. O'Malley it IS proper to transport in boats or scows, salmon from one district to another. Under the same law, 1t will be illegal to move a float ing cannery from one district to another to permit them to do in a small way what the larger corporations do right along with the permission of the depart rlent. Perhaps We are just dumb and can't understand the logic of the new law. At least, we have sense enough to object to such a law and to brand it as a crooked piece of business.

JtM REED SETS FORTH HIS
 CLAIM FOR DENOMINATION

James A. Reed, former United States senator, sounded what was believed by several thou sand Missouri Democrats to be his aspirations to the Democra- tlc nomination for President
 Making the principal address ct the annual Missouri Jackson Day dinner, Reed let slip with a single phrase the signal for cries Of "Jim Reed for President! which rolled through the Shrine Mosque.
 And now I speak for James 4. Reed," he said, introducing q program of remedial measures which he proposed for the na- tion.
 Reeds seven-point platform for the party called for decen, tralization of government and withdrawal from all European controversies as the first plank. Second, he advocated repeal Of laws which place the responsi- b;lity of the various states on the federal government; third wipe out innumerable boards and bureaus and discharge an army of spies, snoopers and tax rlasters;;" fourth, cease all at tempts by the government to 1 promote, regulate or destroy business, with the exception of laws against monopoly and un- fair trade parcticeS.
 The fifth plank would demand the Federal Reserve system no longer be the "agent and bank CT of the stock gambling hells of the nation;" sixth, lower the tariffs, and eventually wip e them out, and seventh, restore the doctrine of state sovereignty

WHY SUCH A LAW,

It shall be unlawful to operate a cannery unless a report has been filed with the Secretary of Commerce prior to December l of preceding calendar year al.c no cannery may be operated in more than one place or location during that year.
 The purpose of which law is to shut out any or all small salmon cannery operators and to conserve" salmon by prevent ing a floating cannery from moving from one section to an- other whereby they may obtain at small cost salmon for can- ming. There is no inhibition a. gainst the packing of salmon several hundred miles to a sta tionary plant which is in effect the same as moving a floating cannery from one. section to an other. In the past canners in Ketchikan district have gone several hundred miles to Lynn Canal and obtained fish for

A PROPER MOVE

The Government is going to abandon it's agricultural experi- lnent stations in Alaska ard throw several buric rats out Of employment. We are sorry for the stations BUT
 We cannot find an argument to sustain continuation of these stations. The purpose Of the stations being to develop agri- culture in Alaska. On the other h;.nd, we venture to say that not one in 25 succeed in secur- ing patents to homestead appli- cations in Alaska. The Forest Department has built up So many rules that it is almost Impossible to secure homo stead in Alaska. The Fisheries Pureau has driven virtually every independent operator out Of the country. The logging ano numbering industry, bad enough iii the states, is more than DO verty stricken in Alaska because of the regulations. There is a studied effort to drive even tl.e Indians out of the ountry.
 Why then should the govern ment continue to waste money on experiment stations when there are none to follow up the program. And even if they did follow up the program where would they sell their product? Last year over 4,000 sacks ot potatoes were raised in the Ma tanuska Valley-they routed there with no market.

TIME TO OBJECT

In 1924, sponsors of the White Bill, now governing Alaska S fishery industry, forgot to in- clude Commissioner O'Malley's jurisdictional powers beyond the three mile limit. To remedy this defect, Congressman Welch of California, the home of the Alaska Packers Association, in troduced a bill which would ex- tend the power to the Commis- sioner. Under the provisions of this bill, it shall be unlawful to import or bring into any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, for purposes oGher than personal use and not for sale or barter, salmon from waters outside the jurisdiction of the United States taken dur ing any closed period provided for by this Act or regulations made there under.
 Alaska is now under regula- tionS not enforced in Canada or in the coastal fishery statez. While regulations are promul- gated and closed seasons enforc- ed in Alaska, the fishery con- tInues in Oregon, Washington, California and Canada. Alaska is used to conserve salmon for the use of the other fishery states. Which is to our mind 8 lot of hooey. If such regulations are to be enforced in Alaska, then it is only fair to demand that other fishery sections be placed under the same inhibi- tions. Otherwise the charge of unfairness cannot be denied.
 Commissioner O'Malley has too much power which he ab- Uses. Fear of reprisals for as St rting independence has made the corporations bow their heads in servile submission.
 The Welch bill has been a mended and the committee on merchant marine and fisheries has recommended it's passage. The trollers will be most affect ed by this new inhibition. As an association and as individuals, they should send in their ob- jections to Delegate Wickersham CIT it is too late. The business l houses which depend so mucn upon the fishermen trade should also take this matter up and state their objections to it's pas I sage. To delay is to invite furth- CT disaster.

 dered why a progressive minded man should be servile to the 1noneybags of Juneau. We were told that he was interested in the bank of Iditarod and that during the session, MT. Walstein G. Smith, territorial treasurer took away from MT. Donnelley bunch of bonds to protect the territorial deposits in the Idita- Tod bank. After the session was over, the bonds were returned to MT. Donnelley. We persune that the law had been complied with and that MT. Donnelley's bank had complied fully with the law and the territorial de- posits were protected. Else, why should MT.
