In Praise of Beer.
(New York Herald Tribune.

Now is, perhaps good time to speak in praise of our most recent visitor and one who-all signs point that way-is going to be permanent resi- dent The name of this comparative stranger is Beer He is still young but can be expected to improve with age. MT. Mulrooney, his guardian ad ltem, promises that he will. Most of New York is enthusiastically blowing off the foam (one has to blow rather hard) without waiting for that final perfection.
 Regardless of his present or future quality his record so far has been excellent, and his social accomplishments far better even than we ex- pected. Whether he is instinctively law abiding, whether he is careful to maintain a safe distance between himself and that A per cent by volume" on his label whether ourselves have risen to the occasion it would be difficult to say But there have been blatant orgies the statistics of arrests for drunkenness eloquent, and Beer has shown himself a powerful competitor not only to fruit juices and soda pop but to hard liquor as we'll
 There is no doubt that many, before the arrival of beer were what might be called conscientious drinkers and had developed the habit of breaking a hatred law chiefly in order to find out how far
 it would bend. The law bendabe into any shape they wished. Having made pretzel of it, they can drink beer for change, and relax. this corner of Amerca-s a dquor nation and millions of it's citizens will never change their habits, unless it be to use beer as a chaser. But there is an important minority which has welcomed the opportunity to fill a tall glass with something a little less punitive Gin the quantities common to New York) than hard liquor. And there are hundreds of thousands who, possibly because they the law writhng in it's last agones on the speakeasy floor, have climbed on to the beer wagon.
 So the beer wagon is, in the manner of speaking a triumphal chariot. Let us wish it success and strew roses before its path

Work and Wages.
(NeW York Times

For the sixth consecutive month both employ ment and payrolls in American factories increased in September. This is shown by the indices of the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. In March en- ployment estimated at 55.1, on scale with the average for the full year 1926 reckoned at 100 By September the figure had advanced to 73.9-a gain of 34 per cent for the half year Meantime, payrolls calculated on the basis have increased from 33.4 in March to 533 last month--a gain Of 59 per cent Transatng these abstract figures into human terms, Secretary Perkins sober handler of statistics estimates that during the past six months 2700000 men have gone back to work in the industries surveyed by her department and that more than $6OOO0OO0 weekly has been added to industrial payrolls.
 Several points in the record of this half year are of particular interest. One is the fact that payrolls have advanced nearly twice rapidly as employment, evidence that more men are at work on full-time jobs and that wages have been in creased in many cases. Another is the broad front on which improvement has been made; all important groups of industries have shared in it. Also it is interesting to note that the most recent figures cOrroborate the reversal of trend which pro- voked much discussion earlier in the year.
 At that time gains in industrial production were outstripping those in employment and wages. Thus the Federal Reserve Boards adjusted index of pro- ductiOn advanced by 67 per cent between March and July, while jobs were increasing by only 22 per cent and payrolls by 39. But production halted its advance in midsummer Now we find that des- pte the subsequent recession both employment and payrolls have continued consistently to gain.
 In this respect recent experience is not unlike that which characterized recovery from earlier de- pressions. In 1921, for example, production started up much more rapidly than the return of men to work Gains in employment followed later. A lag between the two has been traditional In the present it is fair to credit MIRA with helping close the gap.

THE SPIRITS ARE ABROAD.

The spirits will be abroad tonight always they come forth Halloween. It is the time when merriment and mischief have full sway. At sucn time we think of Burns, particularly, and all the Celtic folklore which tells of this rare night when divination may become attribute Of youth and maid-if they have the courage to pronounce the proper incantatons and abide by the result
 In its spiritual significance it is not so generally understood observed in this country as in certain parts of Europe or as was the case in the earlier days of the church. when on All Holy Night the truly devou induged in rites of reverence in honor of the kindly saints.
 But merrymakng with a clean heart should be not too remote from uplifting devotion to goodness, so Halloween still may be reckoned to hold something of the essence of its worthy purposes and expression.
 This unique festival of the year, perhaps in America at least appeals more strongly to the kiddes and adolescent youth than to grownups, who all too often and too soon grow beyond the emotions and impulses of youth
 Children are in affinity with the earth spirits which ride athwart the moon on this mystic night of nights For them strange creatures troop forth to play their antic games-the fairies shyy reveal thmeslves; the goblns mock and menace the elves and pixies dance to the weird pipings of the minstrel gnomes who for the nonce come up from their grottos and caverns.
 It is great night. We go forth to join in innocent carnival pleasure. We make obeisance to the pumpkin god, and note the black cats With shivery delight.
 Sometimes look in mirrors on dark star at midnight or otherwise seek to pierce the future, in order to glimpse the face of our true love, and usually we get frightened half to death, notwth- standing our protestations to the contrary-when we have drawn away from spooky experience.
 Tis brave night and let us all be happy.

Down to the Dirt in Ships.
(New York World -Telegram.)


 During the Coolidge Administration it was con- sidered the part of patriotism to wreck the Gov ernment's merchant marine The frankly stated policy to get rid of the vessels which had cost hundreds of millions of the peoples money no matter what the loss, to get rid of them. The re- suit was that shipping companies obtained some tremendous bargains
 Ships acquired by one Henry Herberman, &C., cording to testimony taken by Senate Committee this week. had cost the Government SAP 100000 Her herman paid $l,000000 for them. At the same time he got mail contracts assuring payment to him of sl80o0000 over ten-year period In one instance according to Senator Black Herberman's company was paid $l3,672 for carrying one pound of mail
 There is a lot of romance connected with ship ping. Romance heartache and mystery What could be more romantic than the story of O. Bascom Slemp retiring from office private secretary to President Coolidge and picking up fee of $l5O00 three months later for helping MT. Herberman obtain some of those ships? Heartache? Why Semp wanted $50000 for that little job And mystery? The committee hasn't yet discovered just who paid that s510 tailor bill for Chairman O'Con- nor of the Shipping Board

runner does not try to sprint the first mile.
 An equally mischievous form of anxiety about the clock is that now prevailing in the circles, most con- cerned about a sound and stable currency. A phobia is rapidly be- ing evolved which has fixed up- on the assembling of Congress in January as the Day of Judgment for our monetary system. It is a dangerous phobia. It we put our selves into the state of mind where we have to solve the none tary problem in the next sixty days we shall only make more like ly the dangers that we fear.
 For it may not be possible to solve the monetary problem in sixty days, and it is the height of unwisdom to inculcate the belief that, if we do not, we shall never regret it. I am not arguing that we should drift; on the contrary, I have ventured to believe that we should have begun at least as early as July to exercise control and steady the exchange. But it is one thing to exercise control and to demonstrate your control; it is quite another to settle the ques- tion finally. It may require more than sixty days to find the level of depreciation from the old gold parity which can be made to work, and more than sixty days to work out with the British, and then with the French, practicable rates of exchange. It would be folly, therefore, to build up an expectation that would produce either a wrong decision or no de- cision followed by great pertur- bation because there was no de- cision
 The safe thing to do is to for get the calendar, have faith in the American people and the Ameri- can Congress, and assume that they will trust the Presidents leadership as long as he makes it evident that he knows what he is doing. Tn the money question it is not the calendar but the prob lem itself that needs attention and discussion.
 This is, I hope, no plea for com placency or inaction. It is a plea for a recognition that when you set the kettle on the stove you cannot make it boil faster by blow ing on it.

Fisheries Code.
(Anchorage Daily Times.D

(AnchOrage Daily TlmeS)
 No section of the United States is more vitay interested in the meeting called to be held in Seattle October l9 and 20 to prepare a master code for the fishing industry than is Alaska.
 Alaskans will have lot to watch in preparation of such code in order to that the code con- tains all clauses necessary to protect their interests
 The magnitude and importance of the fishery business exceeds that of all other industries in Alaska. In 1881 fisheries exports valued at $36 100000, more than three times that of her gold yield. The gold mines of the still and probably for long time will continue her greatest mines of wealth.
 The Territorial Government in 1880 derived over half million dollars in taxes from the Alaska fisheries while approximately 27,O0O people found employment in the industry, receiving therefor mill lions in wages.
 The salmon output this year exceeds 5,OOO.0OO cases, and the pack is than half sold. Well informed men say the outlook is splendid for the next three years, as it would require that long at least to again cause a serious oversupply
 In any event. Alaskans vitally interested in the code meeting to be held next week in Seattle and should not fail to be adequately represented Now is the time for all concerned in Anchorage and elsewhere to get busy

A NOVEL REFERENDUM.

The precise nature of the poll to be taken in Germany November 12 is not clear. But it appears that the people of the Reich will have no opportunity to vote against Chancellor Hitlers course They can approve his withdrawal from the League of Nations and the Disarmament Con- ference and endorse all his defiance of world opn- ion, or they stay at home and not vote at all No wonder President Hindenburg is contemplat- ing resigning from the office, thus making Hitler supreme head of Germany in well as in fact.
 Herr Hitler astonished many observers of foreign affairs by announcing the poll, for he is com mitted to end all the nonsense of democracy such as election and referenda. His is strong arm government which tells the people what to think and does not ask them what they want done. He sets himself up as ruler and not as a public servant. In spite of this he has found it expedent to call for referendum, so manipulated as to insure favorable vote
 Probably this strategic move is calculated to impress foreign governments with the unanimity of German sentiment behind the present regime If so it will be worthless, for every foreign govern ment knows the poll will be distorted expression of German opinion. More probably, the vote is calculated to strengthen Hitler within Germany to convince recalctrant Germans that Hitlerism holds undsputed sway Hter's recent election action is unquestionably popular in Germany and he natur- ally wants to capitalize this fact to consolidate his position.
 The poll is not matter of importance, there fore, point in time before which no sub- stantial progress international negotiations is pos sble Until Chancellor Hitler has completed his gesture of seeking popular approval he cannot risk the appearance of weakness, before his own people by any compromise settlement with the Powers. There are advantages in this enforced delay After a fortnight hotheads will have cooled off in several ntr and he hetW and the world will not quite as final as at this time. No news is good or as bad as it seems at first This applies with peculiar validity to the present European crisis.
