WASHINGTON.

Washingtons birthday anniversary, which falls today is of especial interest this year The occasion is the two hundradth recurrence of the evenfu date and marks the beginning of nationwide observ- ance that will continue until next Thanksgiving Day
 Under authority of Congress and by direction of a Federal commission, movement has been inaug- urated for celebration that contemplates varied and numerous activities by Government departments and bureaus, trade industry and commerce; social or ganizatons fraternal orders. schools churches and every manner of association Tn the bcentennal memorial there is no public or private agency but what will take part. Surely no other demonstra- tion of such character magnitude and duration is known to the history of this country, and quite likely is unrvaled in the annals of mankind
 Washington is renowned as a military genius He moulded raw recruits in redoubable troops he in spred them, though they were poorly fed, scantily clad and in adequately equipped to deeds of yalor that excited the wonderment and commanded the admrations of veterans of arms everywhere. He led them at last host invncible. to signal and decisive victory-a victory that resulted in establishing for the first time a government founded on the consent of the governed
 Washington IS famed for statecraft Before the Struggle for Independence he was member of the Virginia House of Burgesses and Representative in the Continental Congress- After the cessation of hostilittes he was presiding officer of the Const- tational Convention. His legislative talents and training as well as his popularity a triumphant army chieftain recommended him for the Presidency of the new republic
 Transcending Washingtons military successes and his civic attainments was his love of country. Tn this respect. in Colonial days he at variance with many of his friends and of his relatives. He was of the landed and wealthy class large proportion of which loyal to the Crown by trad tion and custom, and because of sef-interest. I embracing the cause Of independence. he forfeited lifelong friendships severed dear relationships and risked in property values more than any of his revolutionary associates But in his fervent attach ment to the principle of freedom. he gave no thought to loss of either fortune or life.
 While Washington's achievements soldier and his accomplishments as a statesman worthy of study by everybody. still they offer but little that can be emulated by the average person However his answering devotion to the public welfare is a paramount virtue that be cultivated by all.
 Washngtons prowess with the sword has caused him to be hailed as First in War; for formulating the policies and administering the affairs of the newly created nation, he is acclaimed First in Peace and for patriotism that wavered under the severest trials he still retains his place First in the Hearts of his Countrymen.

The Inevitable.
(New York Times1

It required much creiulity to believe that any formidable group of anti-Hoover delegates would go to the Chicago convention, or that the Presidents denomination was seriously threatened Neverthe- less for several months Washington has produced a small crop star-eyed oracles who believe just that Senator Johnson, they said, to contest the California primaries, and there is no doubt that he would defeat MT. Hoover there That would begin a rapid process of attrition. By May, Mis- sssippi and Arkansas would be in full revolt, and Mir Coolidge "or somebody else would be drafted las a candidate.
 Already hard facts are shattering the msts of this remarkable dream. Perhaps the canniest poli- tcian in all the land is Governor Rolph of Cali fornia Though he habitually boots, he never intends to die with them on, politically. His an- nouncement that he will head Hoover delegation to Chicago in June means that California is "sot" ]" That should not be news but probably it is to those who believe the Mother Goose story about Senator Johnson He may contest the primaries even now, for his ways are past predicting; he enjoys lead- ing causes lost in advance He may get the dele gates from North Dakota: and Wisconsin, as al- ways, will be found ,'agin' the Administration. But with the rest of the country fairly solid for the Presidents renominaton, these dissident delegates will merely furnish the usual demonstration Their ielfland horns fainty blowing, have been heard at every Republican convention since 1908. It would be too lonely without the minority platform from Wisconsin, and a La Toilette urging its adoption. At Kansas City this formality was actually charm ing; the delegates cheered Young Bob because ha such a rare pueked-un.

We Wonder.
lKetchikan Chronicle.l


 Undoubtedly in the last three decades Alaska has strengthened herself. She has in many ways stabilized herself to the better interest of those who live in the North just the nation and much of the world have improved their lots.
 One feature has had much to do with this Alas kan accomplishment. It has been the increasing practice of helping another of buying at home. Some still refuse to do that without price diff ferential others willing to do it at greater cost than would be necessary if outside dealers were patronizsd.
 That is why it struck many in Ketchikan as peculiar the other day when laborers went through here from the South the way to Sitka to par ticipate in improvement project there Not only aborers but supply of lumber was carried through from the States.
 Doubtless in this instance there are reasons, as there have been in other instances in the past, for employing outside labor and material Obviously none except the well-informed could venture to say what those reasons might be Our observation is prompted only because the incident led us to won der just how much progress we actually have made among ourselves in this all-important feature of Alaskan progress We go to the Government agencies to the cannery operators pleading for cooperation, yet sometimes find ourselves on the other side of the fence.
 Vigilance must be among watchwords. No opportunity to help others in Alaska must be allowed to pass because in so doing we will be helping ourselves It is wrong to condemn individual en- terprises because as stated previously various req sons may be advanced to explain the situation. Our duty is more specifically of trying to improve cur lot by vigilant cooperation. That, certainly, requires time, but because of it We should not lose sight of the goal

MOON AFFECTS RADIO.

Veteran radio operators, long have held the theory that full moon weakens distant signals have received support in that theory from orestes 4 Caldwell, former member of the Federal Radio Commission who tells in the Popular Mechanics of the results of thousands of tests In these it invariable that reception was at it's best after the moon fell below the horizon AS soon as it rose reception fell off as mueh 50 per cent Little difference was noted whether the be- clouded, new or in the last quarter.
 MT. Caldwell held that the apparently has collected considerable negative electrostatic charge from the electrons poured upon it with the suns rays Such moon, passing over the earths Heaviside reflecting layer. would induce charge that would depress and distort the layer making a sort of bulge This interferes with the reflection of radio signals

functions of the individual States These activities cost money In the days of easy money that was q matter of little concern But today when deficits or one and two-bien dollars sums that few years ago would have more than defrayed all the costs of Federal administration, are matters of common dis cussion the folly of expansion of public functions becomes evident.
 Ten years ago, studies of reorganization were launched with a fanfare of publicity trumpets. Be- yond publicity nothing has been accomplished. In the interim more and more bureaus have been added Federal functions have been multiplied and Federal payros lifted to high levels The coun- try will welcome a halt, and acclaim any sound program that will simplify procedure, destroy dead timber in Government reduce expenditures and pro- mote efficiency by the elimination of red tape that
 is the inevitable product of the bureaucratic system that has been foisted upon this country.

Freedom of Conscience.
CNew York World -Telegram.)

Church members of all scots, believing that the United States Supreme Courts 5-to-4 decision in the Maeintosh-Blan throttles the conscience of Ameriean-born citizens, well raising bar against aliens whose beliefs forbid them to bear arms are organizing to demand that Congress amend the naturalization laws so that no alien shall be denied citizenship because of conscientious objection to war.
 The churches supported the World War when this country entered it in 1917 and they may sup port other wars but this fact does not make less impressive their present insisence that freedom of conscience is a freedom which must not be sur rendered. While churches as organizations have not been pacifis in actual practice they recognize the fundamental need of the individual to decide for himself what course he shall follow when temporal demands and spiritual njunctions conflict
 Only by action of the sort the churches propose can we get back to the intent of the Constitution whose founders thought it important that the free exercise of religion be guaranteed within this country.

REoRGANIzING THE GOVERNMENT.

Democratic leaders in Congress announce they will better President Hoovers recommendations for reorganizing the Federal Government by abolishing bureaus he would retain and by consolidation of others not covered by his program. Reorganization of the Governments complicated machinery is not partisan issue Everyone. regardless of party, oorizes the pressing need for it. and from time fo time sporadic motions have been made to that end. But so far nothing has been actually done about it.
 Few people have any real idea how extensive is the machinery now employed in Federal admins tration Some s40oOo0 persons are engaged in its operation Its growth has been large and continuous over the past two decades as Federal authority has s,,cceeded to activities once held to be inyiolable
