Natural Law.
(NeW York Times ]

Nature" maintained David Hume, Twill have her rights" So she will does she omit some times to come to the help of a by doing her duty When she does, as Mrs. Dombey was ex- horted to do, make effort" she leaves the best devices of lawmakers looking rather puny and futile Of this we have just an example in the elaborte provisions of the Farm Bill That measure was intended to be aid for the crops of this year. But the President has just directed the Secretary of Agriculture apply at present the chief remedies for low agricultural prices Ma ture has stepped in and anticipated the law.
 Wheat and cotton and other products are com manding so much higher prices that Secretary Wal lace ruefuly expresses the fear that the farmers will take advantage of them and raise bigger har- vests than ever. Of course, the particular reason assigned by MT. Roosevelt is that the so-called ing it necessary to levy higher customs duties upon foreign imports of wheat cotton hogs rice tobacco and dairy products But our Government has agreed with others to declare a tariff truce pending the decisions of the World Economic Conference To maintain that pledge inyolate requires suspension of the powers granted by the Farm Bill There will be the less grief or protest this account in the farming States because the chief aim to raise agricultural prices nature has already per- formed that kindly office.
 Expel her with a fork and, according to the old Roman proverb she always comes back She has way of disconcerting men who seek to set aside or overcome her great silent forces by art- fical means. Within the past few years the world has seen many instances of this in the failure of legislation attempting to peg prices at an un- naturally high level The result invariably has been that public funds have been wasted and prices have refused to stay put Legislation cannot beat natural law. We are likely to see added illustrations of this truth in connection with the Farm Bill

Al Smith Refuses.
Cincinnati Enuuirer.l


 Ohio and Cincinnati have problems enough of their own without going afield to borrow trouble but their citizens pause long enough to regret Al Smiths decision not to become a candidate for the office of Mayor of New York, and at the same time admire the sound thinking which led to that decision.
 The Mayor of New York has big job but Al Smith certainly is big enough to take the job in his stride if he could be permitted to work at it hampered by outside considerations. But neither MT. Smith nor anyone else is capable of handling the job satisfactorily under the present and political set-up of New York City. It is pos sible, but hardly probable, that Al Smith could hold Tammany and other inimca forces in line by the force of his personality and leadership.
 It IS sad commentary on municipal government Tn the United States when man of the caliber lof Al Smith feels that it would be but gesture at best for his fellow citizens to draft him for the office of Mayor of the nations greatest city That must be MT Smiths chief for refusing to run, because he has acute civic consciousness that would force him to accept the office if he be- ieved he alone could pull his native city out of the mire.
 There is one bright spot in Al Smiths refusal | to become candidate. It speeds the day when New Workers will vote the straight question of municipal housekeeping, when they will change the form of government that like Al Smith can serve as Mayor of New York City with honor and glory to their city and themselves

VETERAN BENEFITS.

The ruling of the Administration that all honoraby discharged veterans who received dis abilities resulting directly from war service will be continued as service connected cases is just It is not reversal of the Presidents policy of retrench- ment in the Veterans Bureau. It is strictly in accord with the Presidents determination to draw a distinct line between those cases arising from wartime disabilities and those that not directly connected with wartime service.
 Tn its national platform of last year, the Demo- cratic Party favored the fullest of justice and generosity" for veterans disabled in the course of actual service in the war. and in the proposed legislation he submitted to Congress early in his Administration, the President specifically distinguish ed between that class and the non-service connected cases Thus the latest ruling is merely keeping the pledge made by the party and in consonance with the rules already laid down by MT. Roosevelt. It is simple justice to the veteran and remedies any temporary wrong may have been caused by the orig inal regulations.

PLACER MINING AND UNEMPLOYMENT

For sometime movement has been on toot lii various sections of the country to utilize unemployed in prospecting minerazed areas and in develop ing mining prospects Seattle mining organlza- ton sponsored such proposal for Alaska and the State Legislature of Washington endorsed it by memorial urging the Federal Government to finance an army of prospectors enlisted after the method used in the emergency conservation work and Of ficered by experienced prospectorS and competent engineers and geologists
 The Alaska Legislature last month passed a similar memorial which was introduced by Senator Lomen of Nome. It has been forwarded to Wash ington for presentation to the President and Con- gress Mining men of the Southwest are, also back ing similar project for the Southwestern States.
 British Columbia the Engineering and Mining Journal for May points out has done something along this line It has not seen fit to experiment unlimited scale due probably to financial handcaps but it is going to try out on compara- lively small scale.
 By enactment of the Provincial Legislature, the Government has been given authority to provide, as a means of unemployment relief for the estab- lishment, equipment and operation of one or more placer-mning training camps in the Province of British Columbia For this purpose, reserves on Crown lands may be created or ground privately held may be used with the consent of the owner, who will however, not be compensated unless values recovered through the operation of the camp.
 In that event it is proposed that division of the proceeds shall be made between the proprietor and the men employed in the training camp, less proportion to be applied toward the cost of it's maintenance. Those who after receiving a course of training give evidence of fitness to engage in prospecting and placer mining their own account, will be aided to do so by receiving the necessary equipment and one months food supply.
 In addition to this official experiment, at least one private corporation in the same Province, the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company in the Rossland district, in response to requests from unemployed miners and others has agreed to lease sections of it's Rosand mines in the vicinity on favorable terms to include low treatment charges and free assaying within reasonable limits.
 These experiments will be watched in Alaska with keen interest, There vast areas in the Territory where conditions favorable for pros pecting. If success attends the British Columbia training camp plan, similar with adaptations suit able to local conditions might be worked out here

O'MALLEY PRAISED BY SERVICE.

In the Fisheries Service Bulletin issued by the Department of Commerce, in it's issue for the cur rent month, a tribute is paid to former Commis- sioner of Fisheries Henry OMaley who worked his way up to the topmost rank of the Fisheries Service from apprenticeship. He retired on April IS, when Frank T. Bell was inducted into office his successor. MT. OMaley spent more than 35 years in the Service from the time he was employed as an apprentice fish culturst at St. Johnsbury Vt His rise general He spent many years on the Pacific Coast and in 1918, during the Wilson Ad- ministration, he was made chief of operations on the Pacific Coast. He succeeded to the Commis- sionership in 1922
 Commenting his work as Commissioner, the Fisheries Service Bulletin said:
 Under MT OMalley's direction the Bureau
 has made decided progress, evidenced by
 the increased number of fish hatcheries
 authorized under the so-caed Swear build
 ing program and the act of June 6, 1924,
 which gave the Secretary of Commerce power
 to prescribe regulations for the salmon fish
 cries of Alaska, the operation of which has
 very materially aided in conserving the
 salmon of that Territory Since his
 appointment as Commissioner, OMaley has
 spent the entire fishing each year
 in Alaska giving his personal attention to
 the enforcement of the regulations and
 recommending others where needed to guar
 antee perpetuty to the run of salmon
 The retiring Commissioner has always
 shown toward his colleagues in the Bureau
 a friendly consideration which has won for
 him their affectionate esteem, and wherever
 he may be and in whatever he may under
 take he will have their best wishes and
 their confidence in his continued useful
 ness to his country and his fellowmen
 The tenure of MT. OMalley, so far Alaska was concerned, not bed of roses He was attacked often early and late. He charged with responsibility for great natural resource and its perpetuation. In making and enforcing regulations to cary the mandates of Congress he encountered

Flasks or Steins?
(New York World-Telegram, ,

In Amherst, Palo Alto, Berkeley and other col- lege towns controversies rage over the entrance qualifications of Three Point Two Faculty liberals jolly sophomores and others of the gown make common cause with the bonifaces of inns and ham burger joints of the town in urging the new brew's right to matricuate. The drys still cling to the superstitution that local option or the mile limit line will keep students sober.

much bitter opposition and the most violent sort of criticism. The Empire disagred with him on occasion but it questioned his sincerity and honestly of purpose. That his policies resulted in
 increased runs of salmon must be admitted And for that reason, well as for his great interest in the Territorys fisheries Alaskans are indebted to him in no small measure

MAY g, 1913 | Mrs. Willis [. Novel; was to leave soon for an extended visit in Se- attle and California cities. MT. Howell planned to accompany her to Seattle and return after a short stay in the Puget Sound city.
 Mrs. DeGroff and daughter, Miss IA. Vanderbilt, were passengers on the Spokane on their way to Ju- neau and Sitka.
 ] Mrs. H. P. Crowther and daugh- ] ter Plooma, and son Frederick had left the East and were on their way l to Juneau, travelling leisurely. They expected to visit in Pacific coast cities before coming north.
 The famous Juvenile Bostonian Opera company was booked for an early date in Juneau. They had recently returned from the Ha- waiian Islands where Queen Liliok- alani had entertained them with reception in her palatial home.
 Former Gov. John G. Brady, of Alaska, was in Europe in connection with a business venture that con- cerned Alaska acording to word re- ceived. Gov and Mrs. Brady still contemplated returning to Alaska from New York where their home had been for several years.
 Thrse distinct columns of smoke and steam were constantly arising from Mt. Katmai, considered ex- tinct until a year previous when i it had suddenly burst into activity. | The fumes emanating from the vol cano appeared in the form of yellow haze, according to people living in Seward who had got a good view of the old mountain from the vessel Dora. Other vol canos to the westward were also reported to be active.

 She was white and tired and frightened and lovely. turned my eyes resolutely away from her and said:
 "Why did you leave my room? Why didn't you wait?"
 q was-afraid," she said in a small voice. When you left, was afraid. followed you almost at once, thinking to meet you in the corridor. But when reached my room the key was in the door. 1 cant think why I was so stupid it still seems that l left it on the key board"
 How long did you wait?" I asked, despising myself and staring through the shadows at the lighted lobby
 "Only moment or two"
 Long enough for me to reach the lobby?"
 "Oh, mo-" she said. "As a matter of fact, was counting. l thought I would count up to three hundred, and l could begin to expect you back again. But l got to my first hundred, and the wind was rattling things, and-I ran out and along the corridor" Her voice broke. and she added more steadily: Silly of me. To be so absurdly afraid. I'm not as a rule."
 TERRIBLY l wanted to believe her. But something inside me kept saying coldly: Circumstantial. Counting" and afraid" Too cir cumstantial by far. And, anyway, you saw her leave your room. You saw her leave with your own eyes, and it had been far longer than she says.
 There were other things I had to ask, but l looked at her. and our eyes met, and I was silent again with all my doubts and half-certain- ties and fears crowding and seeth- ing inside me.
 My hand went out toward her, and with kind of quiet directness that made the gesture the most natural thing in the world, she slipped her own in it, and loathed myself for doubting her. and then the courtyard was alive with short-caped figures and stiff little caps, all so active that there seemed many more than there ac. tually were, and the policemen were tumbling up the winding stairs.
 Their examination of the body was brief, nd I could not see it for the blue capes It was only few moments before the Lovschiems and two of the police followed us into the light and comparative warmth of my room where we stood in an agitated group.
 From the first l was at a disad- vantage owing to my inability to recall any but word or two in the French language. It was a disad-

There was one that moved, think. think he move-but it is only that I have fear" Sue Tally caught her breath, and the little porter added quickly with ar anxious glance at her: There was only the wind. Me, l am not afraid"
 "Go and" And what? I sought for an excuse. "Go and bring some wood. please. The fire in my room is down. The police will soon be here and will question us all."
 He gave me a sharp and rather dubious look but went.
 Do you know this man?" l asked Sue across the thing on the floor.
 "To the best of my belief.' she said slowly and so gravely that at the moment did not note the curl ous wording of her reply, q have never seen him before"
 "Then he wasn't the man who abducted you?"

She looked at me, and l closed the door and shut out some of the wind, and she said, "Oh," in a gasp ing way. She looked stricken. The toe of her scarlet slipper was near the dead mans hand, and got the impression that she had been lean ing over him.
 said to the porter: Where is Father Robart?'
 "I don't know He went away. As soon as you left us he went away too"
 You were alone here?"
 "Yes." His wiry little shoulders moved in kind of shudder, and believed him, although that left the porter and the priest each to his own devices at time when 1 was pursuing and being pursued in the courtyard below.
 I paused to consider whether the priest or the porter could have got by way of the corridor into the courtyard in time to discover me still on the landing with my fash light and fired at me, and decided that neither of the two had had time to do so Still, there it was: the priest or the porter or Lov- schiem; l inclined toward Lov- schiem.
 The porter repeated: But yes, monsieur. Until Miss Tally arrived"
 There were things I wanted to ask Miss Tally. I said to the porter:
 What was the matter with the lights?"
