THE NATIONS BIRTHDAY.

Tomorrow the United States commemorates the one hundred and ftyseventh anniversary of its brth Looking backward the history of the intervening years it is plain that there have been few occasions upon which we able to celebrate it with more elation more qualification and more confidence that the Democracy then founded in the wilder ness of new world on ideals, while age-old them selves had not before been incorporated into living law is lasting, vrie and capable Of with standing the most tests that can be applied.
 In the last three months, after more than three years of the severest sort of national stress that tried the souls of the nations citizens, Democracy has proved its ability to function, its right to live because it is not afraid to seek the solution of its problems in methods, to find happiness con- tentment and prosperity for its members in orderly fashion While other forms of organized society have been content to mark time to wait for natural forces to cure their economic ils the Nation has been willing to go forward to new experiments rskng error in some things. in order that the conditions that have oppressed many of its people may be banished.

 This is the spirit in which American Democracy born. It. too, experiment which phoso- phers of the Old World said had chance to succeed We know now that they were wrong and those men who carved out the Republic from the wilds of the western frontier were right. We know now that the spirit that gave birth to the Re- public that made it's almost unparalleled growth possible has not dimmed. We know now that we are still masters of destiny; that still have the leadership that direct national effort in the successful working out of our greatest prob- lens; and that a people we still possess the spirit of following and supporting that leadership with the loyalty that made the work of the founding fathers real and lasting.

TOBACCO EXPORTS.

As result of monopoly policies, high import duties, and preferential tariffs it is estimated that approximately 150OOOOOO pounds of all types of American tobacco displaced in the world market by substitution of other tobaccos in 1892.
 Even if these restrictions removed, American growers might not regain all the markets they have lost. Tobacco specialists in the United States De- partment of Agriculture point out that whenever consumers as a group turn from the use of an established blend of products to new blend they do not soon return to the old blend even though the which induced them to turn away from it removed.
 Yet it is believed that a substantial part of Americas export losses might be recovered through modification of the many trade restrictions that have vitally impaired the export markets. The superiority of the American exported tobacco is gen. Ieray recognized, marketing specialists say, and even though some of the nations that have been good customers for American tobacco continue to encourage domestic production of the leaf, American types would find increased outlet if permitted to compete on a basis more nearly equal.

ern California generally into front rank in business and industry made it than just a tourist paradise
 Alaska, too is ideally a tourist country. Its summers are mild and pleasant Its scenery uniquely beautiful, without parallel in the United States and unsurpassed in the whole world. In its mineral districts its timber its fisheries and other resources are opportunities for capital to invest profitaby. Southern California sends Alaska almost as many tourists all the rest of the country con- bined. It can and probably will send more. It has the capital to invest in Alaska's resources and leaders of vision ready to take advantage of opportunities that may be presented. It is through such vistatons that in Juneau today that the contacts formed from which closer trade and financial relations grow So, while welcome to these visitors is warm for their own sake it is also deeper because of the mutual advantages that will accrue from their presence in our midst.

the United States It does not seem
 to me to throw any valuable light
 upon our own problems to ask us
 to choose between Adam Smith on
 the one hand and Lenin on the
 other.
 Is it not possible, in fact is it
 not altogether probable, that our
 own study of our own experience and our own needs may produce
 measures which differ from those
 contemplated either by an eigh-
 teenth century thinker in Scotland
 or by a twentieth century revolu-
 tionist in Russia? I do not think
 We have to choose between the
 devil and the deep blue sea, the frying pan and the fire, or between
 two systems which in relation to our own actual life are equally
 imaginary and equally unrealizable
 It seems to me clear that mere
 laissez-faire, mere coordination through the markets" no longer exists. It is clear also that in so
 far as laissez-faire has broken down or been made impossible, de-
 liberate direction has to be in-
 troduced. But it does not follow that the direction has to be cen- tralized in Washington and that
 it has to be all-embracing. Where (and when direction and manage ment are necessary, how can they be organized, how far they must be carried, how made responsible, how kept informed and flexible these are the problems which we shall be dealing with all the rest of our lives. Obviously measures like the farm and the industrial bills are at best only rough and
 tentative experiments in dealing with some phases of a vast prob lem that no one as yet under stands.
 There are, I know. some who object to the idea of experimenting with the solution of great problems. But their complaint on this score should be addressed to the uni verse to which man belongs, which has, and always has been, the un- fortunate character of confronting men with problems and of not be- ing finished, perfect, or stable. But navng complained about what seems to me the false dilem- ma in Dr. Andersons reasoning l must come back to what is the true wisdom of his argument. He is. aware of the limitations of the human mind and of human energy, and nobody thinks effectively on
 public affairs who forgets these limitations. They are decisive in
 any program of human action whether it be the administration of measures like those to which the President is committed, or the pop ular government of a great city like New York, or the conduct of the League of Nations or even, suppose, the direction of an enor- mously large bank. We must re- member not to put too great strain upon the government, and not to (put too many questions to the vot- CTS, and not to crowd Congress with too many proposals, and by the same token not to put too great strain upon the minds of
 bankers and financiers by con- centrating too much power and re- Sponsibility in their hands.
 We have to remember these hmi- tations of human nature. Yet we
 have to carry on the business of modern civilization a bushes which is necessarily vast and com- plex, and beyond human capacity We have to attempt many things for which we are not really com petent in the kind of world we live in.

2n YEARS AGO
From The Empire

JOL1 j, 1915.
 Bunting and flags had been put up on all of the principal streets by the decoration committee for the Fourth of July celebration and with most proprietors of the busi- ness houses decorating their win dows with patriotic insignia, the town began to look festive. Out of town people were arriving and the hotels were already crowded with guests.
 w. H. Case received letter from James Morris, notad English big game hunter, saying that he and his wife, also an enthusiastic big game hunter and excellent shot, had already procured two big brown bear and were enjoying their trip immensely.
 Harry McIver opened his Racket Store at the corner of Second and Seward, specializing in articles to sell for 5, 10 and Is cents. He open ed with a display of Fourth of July goods that made the store a headquarters for young Juneau ties.
 Conversation concer n ing the Fourth of July baseball games be- tween Juneau and the Douglas Treadwell aggregation was heard in every spot where men congre- gated. Juneau was a seething fur mace of anxiety over the approach ing contest and everyone with a drop of red blood was anxious to wager something on the outcome of the two games. The Juneau team hoped to make a recovery and were conscientiously practicing under the tutelage of Father Tom Kelly.
 Bill Beck and Trevor Davis were getting their speed boats ready for the glorious Fourth and said they would race whether the com- mittee put up a prize or not. liar vey Fremming had been practicing dexterous stunts for several days and announced that the greased pig was his, or would be a few moments after it was turned loose. Earle Jameson was practicing some real athletic stunts for the Fourth and said he would enter the con- tests that had lucrative looking purses Victor Leak was drilling the Honorables every day and looking with a longing eye at the $25 purse to divide with his team mates. Cap tain Jorgensen of the Infants, was just as earnestly chasing the kids of his team around the town lots in practice for the same purpose.
 Everyone in town, particularly youngsters and baseball fans, were hoping for clear weather on the next day and all set to celebrate.
 Iver St. Claire and Harry Ray mond said they had been neglected by the sports committee, but that it was not too late to make amends. There has always been a fat mans race and it will be a great disappointment to many if this event is not scheduled, besides it isn't fair to MT. Raymond and my self after all of the training we have gone through.

Wnlle the industrial control bill was being debated in Congress, Dr Benjamin M Anderson, jr.. the economist of the Chase National Bank, made an address in which he showed how difficult it would be for any central authority to plan and direct the economic life of this country What Dr. Anderson had to say on this point would, it seems to me, be denied only by those who do not realize the extraordi- nary complexity of the American economy. When he pointed out that to regulate the business of the country as a whole and to guide and control production there is re- quired a central brain of such vast power that no human being can be expected to supply it." he spoke the simple truth. When he said that such centralized control would almost inevitably produce political logrolling rather than genuine eco- homie planning, he was on the sure ground of experience
 Admirabcc as were these observa- tions, they do not, I think, take account of the real problem with which a modern industrial society like ours is confronted. Dr. Ander- sons own view is that ''the CO., ordination of the multitudinous ele- ments must be through the markets and not through central brain or a central authority" This does not seem to me to be very illumi- hating. For it is an attempt to solve very real difficulties by offer ing us choice between two un- real alternatives. It is unrealistic to the point of being wholly mis- leading to assume that "tha CO., ordination of the multitudinous elements" now takes place through the markets" Nothing has been more clearly revealed during the course of the depression than that there is no longer an effective "co- ordination" by the markets" That is why some prices have fallen so much less than others. The three years of the depression have dem onstrated, I think, conclusively that the modern industrial economy simply does not coordinate" itself as Dr. Anderson thinks it should, by the action of supply and de- mand. At thousand vital points the system has become rigid ugh contracts, gentlemen's agreements, virtual monopolies, and trade union rules, legislation and other devices for interfering with the law of supply and demand. Had that not been the case, the markets" might have co-ordinat- ed" us rapidly and successfully to a new and lower price level, and we should have made our recovery by completing the deflation.
 So when Dr. Anderson asks us to consent to being 'co-ordinated" by the markets" he is not describ- ing the world he lives in but the imaginary world of the classical economies He seems to be to be equally unrealistic in assuming that the only alternative to this imag- mary economy is an economy cen- trally planned and centrally di- rected. Such a centralized econ omy would indeed have all the vices which Dr. Anderson ascribes to it. But where is such an econ- omp contemplated, except perhaps in Russia, and who that has any instinct for reality supposes that a system of control, which may work in the simple and relatively primitive Russian economy among a people habitutated to political absolutism, could be initiated in Convripht 1Q22 Nc

]. A. CAMPBELL, 79,
STEEL FIGURE, DIES
Led Stiff Court Battle In
Effort to Accomplish
Huge Merger.
BY the Associated Press.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. September
21.-James A. Campbell, 70. chairman
emeritus Of the Youngstown Sheet g.
Tube Co., and a leader in the proxy
battle over the proposed billion-dollar
merger with the Bethlehem Steel Co.,
died last night at his home Of heart
attack.
He stepped into the forefront of one
of the bitterest court battles in the
annals of American business when he
championed the proposal to merge
Sheet & Tube, third largest steel con-
Germ in the United States, Of which
he then was president and chairman,
with Bethlehem.
The merger was blocked when Cyrus
S. Eaton of Cleveland and other stock
holders spent nearly million dollars
in the legal battle against it.
Although he had been in failing
health since his retirement in Febru-
ary, 1882. Campbell's death came un-
expectedly at his residence near here,
not far from the Ohltown home where
he was born September IL, 1854.
A farmers son, who started his In
duStrial career as coal company
clerk, he was an expert in the steel
tube trade, director and former vice
president of the American Iron and
Steel Institute and for three decades
a national figure in the steel industry.

NICKEL BUSES SHOW
GAIN IN PATRONAGE
Number to Be Increased to 10
During Afternoon Rush Hour
as Volume Grows.

Although the new nickel bus line
from the Bureau Of Engraving to the
downtown section has been operating
on its present schedule only four days
the public appears to be patronizing II
more than when the buses first put
in an appearance.
Under the new schedule the busses
operate in the morning and afternoon
rush hours. They have carried an
average Of 100 passengers in the after
noon, with nine buses, and IS passen-
gers in the morning, with six buses
according to counts made by investi-
gators of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion.
AS a result Of the afternoon business
the number of busses will be increased
to 10. Previously the busses operated
only in the on-rush-hour period, and
were little used. The nickel fare in
rush hours was available on the street
cars. At present there Is no nickel
fare on the street cars.
The bus passengers have choice
between paying the nickel fare and not
getting transfer, or paying the regular
fare and getting transfer to Wash
ington Railway & Electric Co. lines at
regular transfer points.

BALTIMORE, Md, September Ala
woman's question offers a new chal-
lenge to the theory of the greatest as
tronomers that the universe Is expand
ing like giant soap bubble, so rapidly
that it may figuratively burst.
The questioner Is Miss Janet H.
Clark of Johns Hopkins University, and
she Is answered in Nature, where she
asks the question, by the admission of
Sir Arthur Eddington, one of the
worlds two or three foremost astrono-
mers, that she may be right.
Resembles Postal Zones.
To the menfolks Miss Clark points
out that their expanding universe
theory is based on the fact that the
telescopes show the spiral nebulae, dis
tant star systems like our own milky
way, flying away from earth's position.
Particularly that the farther away they
are the faster they recede.
She maps this recession to show that
it resembles the postal rate zones. The
fartheSt celestial zone is 100000, 900
light years away. The others are 100,-
100000 light years away, 50,000,000 and
3,260,000.
In the outer zone, like parcel post
rates, the recession rate Is highest,
about $4,000 miles a second. In the
second most distant zone 1t Is only
1000 miles second, in the third but
5000 miles and in the nearest one
about 800 miles. But inside this near
est zone, among stars only about l.
O0O, 900 light years away, five OF the
nebulae not only have no recession

speeds at all. but seem to be moving
toward earth.
Why, she asks, do astronomers in
terpret these zone speeds as something
going on today, when the most dis
tant of them happened more than $780,
900, 900 years ago? Why not interpret
1t to mean that expansion Is behind us
and that a period of condensation of
the universe is about to begin?
If the nebulae whose light shows us
what they were doing only million
years ago were coming toward earth,
she asks, why not assume that the
others, which were moving away 150.-
100000 years ago, also now have
slowed down. perhaps reversed and
turned toward earth?
II think" says the reply of Sir
Arthur Eddington, that every one will
agree with Miss Clark that If the
distribution of nebular velocities is
considered to be mainly a distance
effect, it indicates an expanding sys-
tenn which Is about to enter into a
stage of contraction, and her letter is
of service in pointing out the two
alternatives.
Easier to Explain.
If the universe is now contracting,
as Miss Clark suggests, Sir Arthur
points out that there is yet no known
central point of sufficient gravitational
power to explain the thrush of nebulae.
The expansion is easier to explain, be-
cause astronomers are finding proof of
the existence Of a repulsion force, the
opposite of gravitation, and this re-
pulsion exists between aggregations of
matter so widely separated as nebulae.
Il think" he says, 1T is now clear
that the magnitude of the repulsive
force can be calculated, although it
may be some time before the formulae
are definitely settled"
He concludes that for the present
research into the theory of an expand
ing universe is likely to be more pro-
ductive than into the opposite theory
Of contracting universe.

NORMAN DECLARES
j. s. TRIP USELESS.
Informs Bankers Changes
Have Made His Informa-
ton Out of Date.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, September 21-Montagu
Norman, governor Of the Bank of Eng
land. asserted today that the changes
in America are so great and so continu-
GUS that the information he obtained
up to the time of his departure from
the United States a fortnight ago Is al
ready out of date.
$50 far as America is concerned u
M. Norman said at the semi-annual
court Of the governors Of the bank, "it
is two weeks at least since was there
and in those two weeks new situation
and almost new country has grown
up there.
Will Have to Read Newspapers.
$50 continuous and so great are the
changes that no one who is not on the
spot is up to date.
Nothing, therefore, that I have
found while I was in America would be
OF any use or interest to you. You will
have to read the newspapers day by day
to see what is happening there"
Mr. Norman requested that he be
relieved of currency problems. He
prefaced the request with an expression
of appreciation of the work of his COL
leagues.
E. T. Hargraves, one of the gov
ernors, complimented Mr.. Norman on
the hard work he has done in the
last six months and for maintaining
the dignity of his Office when he was
in America.
Likes the Compliments.
In reply, Mr.. Norman said he liked
the compliments of his associates, but
he did not wish to take upon himself
more than he could reasonably hope
to bear.
"I hope, therefore, that I can dis
associate myself from the association
with the currency for the future, with
which you have connected me-" he
said. II shall do my best, but am not
wholly responsible for some of these
questions, which lie elsewhere"
He announced that the profits for
the year ended August 81, after pro-
visions for all contingencies. were
f655,914 approximately $3,125,000.
Mr.. Hargraves said he was sure
there would be nothing in the way of
hasty legislation in Great Britain or
any hasty dealing with the currency
problem while Mr.. Norman occupied
his post.
