PROF. FISHER ON RECOVERY.

Recently in a discussion of ebt-deflation ant its relation to depressions Prof Irving Fisher inter nationally renowned economist and professor O political economy at Yale University since 1898 expressed his conviction that President Roosevelt "lvowed relation is the cause of the nations star on recovery and added that the downswng O depression could have been quickly reversed fou years earlier and, more than that could have beer wholly prevented
 In this connection Prof Fisher wrote:
 Those who imagine that Roosevelts avow- ed relation is not the of our recovery but that had reached the bottom any way very much mistaken. At any rate, they have given no evidence, so far as I have seen, that had reached the bottom And if they right my analysis must be woefully wrong. According to all the evidence, under that analysis, debt and deflation, which had wrought havoc up to March 4, 1883 were then stronger than and, if let alone would have wrecked greater Wreckage than ever after March 4. Had artificial respiration been applied, we would soon have general bank ruptcies of the mortgage guarantee com panies, savings banks, life insurance com panies, railways, municipalities and States. By that time the Federal Government would probably have become unable to pay it's bills without resort to the printing press, which would have been very belated and unfortunate use Of arU1clal reSpratl0n II even then rulers should still have insisted on leaving recovery to nature" and should still have refused to infate in any way. should vainy have tried to balance the budget and discharge governmental employees, to raise taxes, to float, or try to float loans, they would have ceased to be our rulers. For we would have insolvency of National Government it. self, and probably some form of political revolution without waiting for the next legal election. The Midwest farmers had begun already to defy the law.
 If all this is true it would silly and immoral to "let nature take it's course" for a physician to neglect of pneumonia. Ii would also be libel economic science, which has it's therapeutics truly medical science.
 If reflation can easily and quick ly reverse the deadly down-swng of defla- tion after nearly four years when it was gathering increased momentum, it would have been still easier to have stopped it earlier. Tn fact, under President Hoover

Two-Fisted Fish in the SargassO.
lNew York Herald -TribuneO


 The rule that for every mystery the scientists dispel they plant two ones in it's place, fits the report of the Atlantis, Woods Hole exploring vessel which brought back last week its crew of oceanographers and biologists from explorations of the Sargasso Sea. No antiquarian of fiction seems to have traced the origin of the long accepted tale of dead ships drawn to that region of the Atlantic into floating graveyard of derects However it began, this disproved nearly quarter century ago by criss-cross voyages of the Michael Sars What the Atlantis reports is quite the reverse of a graveyard On the contrary, the SargaSso seems to be a spot where at least one kind of life is doing something both original and new. Not for a long time have the naturaists reported a tale more indicative that there is vgor in the old world yet than the saga of the Sargasso's two- listed fish.
 Mature red in tooth and claw is not always so cruel. The Sargasso Sea to be of those refuges which natures kndlier moods provide for evolutionary failures Another of these is the high mountains, where plants and animals worsted in the competition of easier climes have found la chance to cling precariousy to life. Still another lis the caves where few ancient shrimps and other creatures, once surface dwellers, have re- treated similarly from competition Along the fringes lof the Arctic ice and in the summer pools of the Antarctic live other plant, insect and animalcule hermts for whom the wider world has been too much. Greatest of all such refuges for failures is probably the deep sea- where the little that we know from dredgings suggests population of antique star fish, lilies and other creatures whose like has not been in surface seas for more than a hundred million years Just such an area seems to be the floating shore of the Sar gasso, made of sea weeds, perhaps bred and raised there, perhaps drfted from the shores of the con- tinents, but anyway the home of hundreds of creatures, large and small, most of which to have retired there because all other homes were too fiercely contested.
 Tn Sargasso fish is proof, however that in na- ture as in human affairs it may be possible to snatch success from failure. Amid the floating weeds of the Sargasso live these remarkable little creatures living examples of which the Atlantis brought back. Their fins have been modified into veritabe hands, with which they seize and cling to fronds of floating weed. Ages ago other fish lchanged their fins to feet to walk land as | they learning to breathe the air. From them sprang all backboned land animals, including man. The listed fish of the Sargasso may not go far, but their hands at least proof that evolution need not stop because ones home is not the best the world affords.

intelligent as he is reputed to be. On February 10, last, an Associated Press dispatch from Wash ington, appearing in Alaska newspapers including the daily paper at Ketchikan, quoted Secretary Ickes Public Works Administrator, saying that there were S3,500000.000 worth of projects file with the PWA for which allotments had been made and for which no money available because of the exhaustion of the original $320o,O00000 Public Words funds short time after that announce ment made, Gov. Troy made public circular on the same subject which emphasizes that no PWA projects could be approved until Congress made another appropriation
 It is possible of course, that MT Mccain does not read newspapers his home town paper included. However, even plain ignorance does not justify the statement he made. It clearly malicious, unwarranted, and uncalled for in light of the CO., operation that Gov. Troy has given the municipal administration not only of Ketchikan but of every community in the Territory.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-04-04
JUST PLAIN IGNORANCE.

Recently Ketchkan applied to Gov. Troy, as Territorial Public Works Administrator. for $55000 for projects in that city In response to the ap- plication the Governor wrote that there were mo PWA funds in Juneau or in Washington and added that unless additional funds were made available it was not possible to approve the Ket- chikan request.
 When the Governors reply was read at meet ing of the Ketchikan City Council, Harry G. Mo Cain member of that body remarked that he regarded the message of stock of letters kept in Juneau expressly for Ketchikan," according to the Ketchikan Chronicle. MT. Mccain has the reputation of being able lawyer and good member of the Ketchikan City Council He is also said to be a good politician Possibly he spoke as politician, since at this time he is a candidate on the Republican ticket for nomination to the Territorial House of Representatives and possibly be- 1ieves that by attacking Gov Troy, who is a Democrat he may advance his chances.
 Be that as it may he displayed an abysmal ignorance that is astonishing in one who is as

A Question of Newspaper Ethics.
(New York Times )

Because The Louisville Courier Journal had pub lished article reflectng the Kentucky Leg isature, the editor summoned by a committee of the sensitive Assembly, which demanded that he give up the of the author. This he refused to do. He held that it would be- in the first place. a violation of confidence and, besides would be against a fundamental principle of journalism Thereupon the Investigating committee proposed that he be fined only small sum, $25, out of defer ence to his scruples" In the debate there was protest against punshing for mot violating his newspaper ethics" On the other hand it was asserted that he had transgressed the rules of the Assembly, though how that enters into the case it is hard to see. One Representative himself news paper man, asserted that mot single newspaper man in Kentucky" would have taken a position different from that of the editor of The Courier Journal
 The is not so much of the freedom of the press as of it's integrity and responsibility If an article is published which is Ibelous or obscene the courts may deal with it is due course under the law. But great deal of information comes to a newspaper under the seal of confidence This must not be broken Trusted correspondents need not sign their names if they wish not to have their identity known The public interest does not in such cases, center upon individual writer or source of information but upon the general reputa- tion and character of the newspaper itself This is the ground upon which MT.

~ ETROIT, October 10.-The
world series of 1884 will be
y remembered for years to
come in base ball, not alone
for the sensational pitching of the
brothers Dean, but for the most fam
tastic sequence of episodes since four
strikes we're out.
If what the league leaders call
"aSgressiveness" and what the bleach
critics know as fight" is the factor
needed to help restore base balls
popularity, the world champion St.
Louis Cardinals and their victims,
the Detroit Tigers, have gone long
way toward providing it. The most
colorful world series in recent years
saw more spikes flying into the base
guardians, more violent language
used, more controversies between the
umpires and players than any other
championship fracas since Kenesaw
Mountain Lands became high COM
missioner in 1921.

Heroes one Gay, such as Pepper Mar
tin and Schoolboy Rowe, were goats
the next time out. The Tigers
"beaned" Dizzy Dean one afternoon
with a thrown ball, beat him the next
to stand within one game of victory,
but then subsidized before the COM
bined pitching skill of Paul Dean and
Dizzy himself on successive days.
Mickey Cochrane, spiked twice and
badly battered, came out of hospital
to play all but the last half-inning of
the final game, but most fantastic of
all was the story of Schoolboy Rowe'S
fingers being squeezed so hard by
the hand-shaking Joe E. Brown, film
comedian, that it was necessary to take
him to the hospital also for treatment.

Two Records for Dizzy.

~ IZZY DEAN, who would rather
talk about his hitting than his
pitching, now shares two bat
ting records with the big series slug
gers.
Dizzy put himself into the 'little
red book" not only by the mere fact
of coming up to the plate twice in
one inning yesterday, but by getting
two base hits, a feat that only Ross
Young, Jimmy Dykes, Jimmie Foxx
and Al Simmons achieved before him
The margin of Deans closing shut
out victory, Ito, is another one for
the book.
Other records equaled: Most hits in
one game, four, by Joe Medwick
Hank Greenberg and jim Collins;
most runs batted in during one game,
four, by Billy Rogell; one or more
base hits in each game, Charley
Gehringer and Pepper Martin; most
errors by third baseman, one game
three by Martin, who also tied the
series mark with q total of four mis-
cues.
For a seven-game series, the Cardi-
nails posted the highest batting aver
age on record-.272-besides driving
in more runs, sending more men up
to bat, getting more base hits, more
triples, more long hits and posting a
larger total-base figure. Combined,
the two clubs exceeded former seven
game records for hits. runs batted in,
triples and total long hits. The Card
insls equaled the record for total
runs.

Chain base ball." as practiced

this year.
Yesterday the Missouri team in the

little world series. making it gala
day for Branch Hickey ct al
The Birds won five of nine games
from the Toronto Maple Leafs, who
annexed the International League
title.
The Birds won the series a year ago
and then the Cardinals took such
stars as Rothrock, Burgess Whitehead
and Paul Dean to st. Louis and sold
Bill Lee to Chicago. This year, with
the gaps filled with last years sub
stitutes and players brought in from
other Cardinal farms, the club fin
ished second in the association race
and then beat Minneapolis in the
play-off for the flag.

Cards Always Aggrcssors.

THE Cards we're ever the aggressors
i in the battling. There was vim
and verve in their play oontin-
uallv. Afeld they were on their toes:
at bat. full of determination. Even
when a Cardinal made an error he
went through the bad play with all
the dash of a good one. except in one
instance. Chick F'ullis didn't seem to
care a rap when that single rolled
between his dogs to let Bill Rogell
60 all the way around to third on
the drive But Fullis wasn't in there
the next day.
Now for the Deans Pitching enough
there to make a champion Of almost
any ball club. Supported by such
PLAYERS as we're their mates on the
Cards, Dizzy and Daffy can't be
trimmed often. They are as fine a
looking pair of pitchers as any one
club has had in years.
The Deans-Jerome and Paul
pitched the Cardinals to a pennant.
There can be no doubt as to that.
Without them the St. Louis Club
might not have made the first div-
sion.
And the Deans certainly pitched the
Cardinals to the world championship.
Two wins for Dizzy and as many for
Daffy. The two wins by Paul got him
perfect record for hill work in the
classic. Elder Brother Jerome took
one licking in three starts, but only
because he was against the gamest
and cleverest little pitching package.
Tommy Bridges, the day the licking
was dished out.

Deans Will Stay Put.

CAM BREADON, owner of the Car
y dinals, anticipates no trouble
signing the Dean brothers to con-
tracts for 1885. He is already on rec
ords as saying fatty there is not the
slightest chance he will sell either Of
his young pitching aces to rival Ma
tional League Club.
"YeS. they are entitled to raise, "
smiled Breadon. They've had Won
derful year. and they won't have to
do any worrying about the future. We
will talk contract with them in due
time. and I don't think we will have
any argument about it."
Manager Frankie FriSch, whose
spirit is credited by Breadon with pull
ing the Cardinals together for their
final pennant drive, is already assured
a new contract at a higher salary for
next year. But in keeping with Car
dinal custom, it won't be for long
term. The st. Louis club is "out Of
red" for the first time since 1881,
thanks to world series profits. but the
situation is always subject to change.

Masterpiece for Dizzy.

ID UT neither of Paul's games nor
ID Bridges splendid slabbing in the
fifth set-to of the string matched
that remarkable performance given by
Dizzy yesterday in the series finale.
1t was pitching masterpiece. AS he
limited the Tigers to six safeties in
banking them, the elder of the Dean
boys never appeared to put much ef-
fort into his work. Yet he had a
burning fast ball that went by the
despairing Tigers and a wicked break
ing curve that often had them swing
ing wildly.
AS though they hadn't seen enough
of the Deans. Dizzy in his final fling
showed the Tigers just how good a
Dean can be when he makes up his
mind to pitch.
A club far. far better than its foe
took the series. And the ease and
manner with which the Tigers were
beaten makes them look no good bet
for another pennant in the American
League next year.
They were lucky this year-untiI
they met the Cardinals. Next wear
the Tigers will have more than a lot
of crippled clubs to contend with in
their own circuit. To repeat in the
nag race they'll have to be superior
TO their world series form.
