NO EXPERIMENTATION HERE.

Arthur Newton Pack, editor of Nature Magazine, naturalist and explorer, is headed Alaskaward to visit Glacier Bay and Admiralty Island. With Mrs. Pack and Frank Hibben of Princeton University, he plans to survey some of the nations wild life resources including wild life threatened with ex- tinction," according to press reports from the Na- tional capital.
 MT Pack is not unknown to Alaskans He has explored some of unfrequented spots and written charming accounts of his voyages. His greatest mistake was in joining in the untimey and ill., advised demand for brown bear sanctuary on Admiralty Island. We welcome this latest trip of his to the Territory and delighted with his idea of spending sometime Admiralty Island. He ought to be there and spend several weeks studying conditions surveying the bear of the entire island We confident if he approaches the subject with true scientific dsinterestedness in any, thing except facts, he will come away convinced that his original position is unsound and that the brown bears of Admiralty Island are being given all of the protection any of its friends and defend CTS ought to seek reasonably want or expect

RETREATING TO THE BIBLE BELT.

Routed in the East, crushed under demoralizlng losses in the Midwest the Anti-Saoon Leaguers have retreated to the Bible Belt of the Old South in desperate, and seemingly futile, effort to block the sweep of Prohibition repeal that is carry ing every State before it. With Iowa, once the staunchest of the Drys, gone Wet by three to two vote, the Canutes of the Dry forces marshaling their paid orators in Arkansas and Alabama which will vote on the repeal resolution on July IS. In these two States, they will fight to the last ditch, but it is plain it will not be aggressive, driving offensive battle rather guard action designed to delay final equalization rather than to win a decisive victory
 Where is the crusading fervor2 Nowhere in the whole country there been manifested any of the ancient enthusiasm, once marked in dry cam paigns. We suspect there is a reason for this. Once there was the wicked saloon and the white aproned bartenders with their hande-bar mustaches and the big brewery horses to rant about. Now if any is to mention their equivalent it must be in speakeasies the rackets and the bootleggers, which embarrassing subjects for rally for the Eighteenth Amendment Even the saloon, in all its iniquity, never like these.
 That seems to be the reason why repeal goes marching with majorities which range from three to two in Iowa to four and five to one depending more weather than on differences of opinion the country over' The niquties of the Eighteenth Amendment have influenced all parts of the country yet heard from.
 With every State vote the weakness of Prohib- tion becomes more and evident This weak ness has been suspected by the professional Dry leaders; their entire campaign has been directed toward attempts to deprive the public of suffrage, as they would like to do in Ohio and Missouri, and they undertook and failed to do in Cali forna. But the avalanche cannot be stopped. Re- peal goes marching

Smoke and Hope.
(New York Herald Tribune

(New York Herald Tribune)
 There was time when the fat cigar-preferaby la dark and gaudiy banded one-was esteemed a mark of prosperity by the ingenious In all car
 toons of generation the bloated trusts political
 grafters, bankers and the higherups of the sport ing fraternity were ponderous persons who smoked huge cigars at aggressive angles. In these latter years of almost ubiquitous smoking and of far wider addiction to the democratic cigarette it has
 seldom occurred to the cartoonts any other of philosophers to associate smoking with pros lperity; yet a review of the tobacco production
 figures for the first five months of this year would seem to indicate beyond cavi that there is really
 some association between smoking and confidence
 And now it is the cheap cigarette, and not the plutocratic cigar, that the American people seem Ito burn as incense when they again have recourse to the altars of their hopes
 The year 1892 bad one for the purveyors Iof all kinds of tobacco. Their sales fell off steadily and consistently from high point in the summer of 1880, when the depression was accepted as a
 lasting blight right through to the end of the last dismal year. Then there a turn and the
 cigarette was the first smoke" to show it. In
 January cigarette sales fraction better than
 in December but they were still little below the
 volume for January, 1882 In February the cigarette
 sales were 2.26 per cent higher than in the same
 month last year; in April 5.43 per cent higher and last month they were not only 45 per cent above May, 1882, but established a new American record We have purposely omitted March from this &C., oounl, Io point sigmIlcant contrast, because in March the month of the bank holiday cash short age and nationwide anxiety, the January and
 February gains in all kinds of tobacco sales were Wlpeo out and the cigarette consumption was 559 lper cent lower than in March 1882.
 Except that the consumption of cigars, snuff and
 tobacco is a less sensitive and more sluggish bar lometer, and therefore less useful one, it serves the purpose of supporting theory about the significance Of the cigarette figures by following them in all their ups and downs. The cigar sales
 have not caught up in any month of this year with
 the sales records of 1882 but except for the month lof March, when they followed the cigarette output into sympathetic slump, they have been steadily gaining on last years monthly figures and pipe
 tobacco has actually overtaken the 1882 figures for several months past. It is indeed hard to avoid
 the feeling that in the volume of cigarette sales in good and bad times, we have nothing less than la new index to the state of the nations mind if not to its prosperity.

WHAT BUSINESS OWES TO SOCIETY.

The responsibilities of business to society ir general as conceived in the new deal" offered tt the country by the Roosevelt Administration, ane which involved in of the legislation enacted by Congress in its special session were discussed recently before the Harvard Business School b. A. A. Berle, Jr. Special Assistant to the Recon struction Finance Corporation. He said in part:
 banker who floats an issue of bonds which is intrnsically unsound, though it of fers him profit cannot rest on his ind- vidual profit measure of success. Others will do likewise; few years of this sort of thing will end investment banking and the investment banker with it. He may pocket his profit; but he has commenced to write his death warrant, and the death warrant of all of his brethren with it..
 A commercial bank B not doing it's duty when it keeps its own skirts clear but permits unsound or unethical banking to go on in the same community.
 In industry we know, now, that the work CT is quite as important as consuming and living being he is as a producer The business of today is not an affair of making profits. That is incidental Business is the service of supply It aims to provide goods and service sufficient to allow people to live, to develop and to live still more fully. When it does not do this, business is bank rupt. It is bankrupt morally in the first

place; and it is bankrupt financially shortly thereafter
 In the gross language of the balance sheet, we can say that man in the bread line means a lower dividend rate. In the higher language of business intellect, we can say that a family seeking relief is blot on the "scutcheon' of American busi- ness So long as business is unable to solve that kind of problem, just so long there must be governmental interference.
 The real government of today is the great net of business influences which ultimately impact on the lives of all of us deter mining what we do, how we live, and whether we can live at all. We have chosen in America to keep that net in private hands. It can remain there only if it frankly assumes and carefully fulfills the obliga- tion which every government has assumed from time mmemorial, the obligation to pro- vide its citizens with the. materials for hap pineSs.

A New Era Dawns.
(New York World -Telegram.)

(New York World -Telegram)
 A great nation at work, with essential toll incl dental to the creation of new civilization in whic culture will be paramount was predicted by Mis- Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, in an addres here She said:
 We recognize that our mass production system cannot go unless we consciously build up the purchasing power of the people who work in this country and we are recognizing that out of the building up of this purchasing power-by artificial or other means-may come blessing beyond any, thing we in our generation have ever dared to dream of Our activity in the produc- tion of things we need in the mere earning of living is going to be incidental to the production of those great civilzing institu- tions which thank God, we have now become people powerful enough people ntelli- gent enough, to have and to share with all Therefore she declared, the people who talk profits as investors going to be satisfied wit smaller returns and larger wages to the productv forces in order to- unify the country and to creat the new civilization of which she speaks
 All this is not in any sense visionary It actually the necessary basis of recovery
 It is highly encouraging that President Roose welt has in his Cabinet persons who eagerly preac the doctrine of the new day while organizing if realization.

T,oo Years Bring Harridge
 Fame as TCO-F Fisted Leader
By PAUL MICHAELSON GA. P. Sports Writerl


 CHICAGO, July 10. = Rubber stamp president? Not William Har- ridge, head man of the American League since May 27, 1881.
 In his two years at the helm of the league he has won the repu- tation as one of the greatest two listed leaders the game has ever known. ~Sh
 When Ernest Sargent Barnard died suddenly in March 1881, sev- eral American league club owners admittedly were trifle shy in choosing the mild hammered Har- ridge as his successor to the presi- dency.
 Some feared he would be too shy, just another yes man in di- rect contrast to the stormy Ban Johnson and the determined Bar nard. But after two months of indecision, they finally picked liar ridge, assistant in the president's S office for more than 20 years. Since that time, Harridge has given a great exhibition in lead tership over some pretty rough wat CTS. At least five extremely deli cate problems have confronted him and each time he has hauled out & big stick that nobody even dreamed he had and handed down decisions that stuck.
 Staggered. The Yankees The first time Harridge yielded his club, he staggered the New York Yankees by fining Catcher Bill Dickey $l,OO0 and suspending him for 30 days for assaulting Carl Reynolds of Washington. The pen alty, one of the stiffest ever deliv- cred, caused lot of gasps
 Previous to the Dickey case, Harridge levied fines of $1,350 against Manager Lew Fonseca of the White Sox and three of his players for their battle of the runway" at Cleveland, in addition to suspensions.
 Another case involved the Yan- kees again. Detroit protested that Lou Gehrig had batted out of turn in a game the Yankees had won Over vigorous protest by the Yam kee management, Harridge ordered the game replayed and Detroit won.
 In this years outbreak between Washington and the Yankees, liar ridge was expected to deal harshly with the three principals, but he relented in the face of mitigating circumstances for the first time and his limited suspensions and fines were satisfactory all around. Later the club owners met in Cleve1a and an exceptionally happy meeting was held in which the Yankees and Senator leaders buried the axe

He ap- pointed an umpire-in-chief and later surprised the baseball world and brought his arbiters on their toes by releasing Umpire Dick Mallin,' who had been calling 'em, for Is years in the league.
 All this from a man who never, played a game of baseball in his, life, yet who has become one of the games greatest leaders.

Silver Has High Place
in Realm Of Industry

Silver, because of its cheaper price
has a wide industrial use. Some
100000 ounces of silver are an
nually distributed by government
agencies and private refners to man
ufacturers. The present low price
has given it a decided impetus in
this field
Much silver is reclaimed today
which formerly was lost in scrap
heaps. It is estimated that S5,O00,-
600 worth is saved annually by ex.
tracing particles from the sweep
ings of factories where it is used, by
fltering the water used in cleaning
where silver compounds are manipu-
lated. and most of all from the dis
carded film which comes from the
motion picture industry.
This reclaimed silver, as well as
the new product, goes back to indus
try. Because silver resists the action
of acetic acid it Is used to line food
containers and stills, condensers,
taps and faucets in dairies, fruit
juice and brewing trades. 1t also
resists caustic alkalis and, therefore,
is used to line great vat. in their
manufacture. The uses of silver to-
day are so varied that the list might
be extended almost indefinitely.
