The Airways Service.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

(Ketchikan Chronice)
 Aviation in Southeast Alaska has known many ups and downs since that day only few years back when Roy Jones brought north Ketchikan's first plane.
 This season it looked as if a degree of perman- ence and stability to be given the industry. The Pacific Alaska Airways, subsidiary of Pan- American Airways, moved down from the Interior and put planes in service out of Juneau and Ket- chikan.
 Now however, on the heels of busy season, the Pacific Alaska Airways announces that it is to dis continue service out of Ketchkan in few days. The indications that PAA does not plan to re- new it's local service even with the coming of an- other busy season next summer.
 Of course shall have plane service whether or not PA gives it to Local aviation enthus- lasts, including many business who find the service almost necessity will not it die. All summer we have had an independent service operat- ing out of Ketchikan. So the question is not one of planes planes. Rather, the discontnuance of service by PAA points to the fact that neces- sary find plane service we still do not have provisions for air mail.
 Air mail contracts have been in most instances little more than subsidies. We do not know if a subsidy is needed for Alaskan operation, though 1t appears as if the abundance of passenger and ex- press business is actually sufficient to pay all costs and still leave a profit
 Nevertheless aside from needs of the operating firms themselves, we must consider the needs of Alaskans. And in that respect, know that air mail would be worth while. For example, under existing methods of mail transportation, outlying sections are served infrequenty, and days quired for small boats to traverse routes that are covered in a few minutes by arplane.
 Nothing would tend to link parts of the Terri tory more closely together than air mail service Yet only meager provision has been made by Con- gress for such service.
 Thus, while the decision of PAA to discontinue service here is to be regretted in itself, neverthe less the district might concevably profit more if avoid criticism of PAA and turn instead to study of air mail possibilities If such study were to show that there is much to be gained from air mail service, then anything say might carry weight where it do most good.

HELPING AVIATION.

An excellent suggestion comes from Murray Hali Aeronautics Inspector for Alaska, who has been directing the search for the Hines plane out oI Fairbanks As a further to make arpane travel safer, Hall recommends law that would require all planes to be equipped with two-way radio sets
 While not a cure-al for such air tragedies as has befaen in the last few weeks it certainly would be a precautionary move against disaster. On the established air lines planes carrying passengers are in contact with arports at regular intervals all the time that they are in the air From the moment they leave the ground until they land at their des- tnation the ground stations know just where the planes are, what speed they making, weather conditions they are confronting and all other import ant information result of two-way radio com should the radio be out of order at that particular moment, the ground stations can tell nearly the exact location of the plane from the last reports, which are given about 15-minute intervals Rescue ships can be dispatched to the very spot the dis tressed ship was last heard from
 Nothing can stop the progress of aviation, and one of the things which will make it move more rapidly forward to take advantage of every modern safety method The two-way radio communication has proven itself many times in the States, and how much necessary :c would appear in by air far from settlements. The Hall recommenda- ton would not only be safeguard against such disaster as has apparently oVeraken the Fairbanks plane but it would help to build up the confidence travellers are beginning to get in air transportation

'The stars incline Horoscope
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1895


 Astrologers read this as an un- important day in planetary direc- ton. Mercury is in benefic aspect but an adverse sign threatens em- ployers
 Good news for this country cer- tainly is foreshadowed. Uncle Sam will carry new world responsibilities and gain prestige. .4
 This is a fortunate day for sign ing leases and contracts, especially those pertaining to offices or resi- dences. Many persons will change their dwelling places during the next few weeks.
 Newspapers and magazines should profit. New publications will be founded and old ones will be under new direction.
 The stars presage that unprece- dented floods of propaganda will engulf editors, and writers should profit through the coming months.
 The seers prognosticate for the Holy Land much prosperity and great demand for workers. The Jews ultimately will benefit through what at first appears to be su- preme misfortune.
 Saturn continues to influence Greece which probably will undergo serious troubles. Shortage of food will cause demands upon the Unit ed States from both Europe and Asia, the stars indicate.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for- tune Secret matters may cause anxiety, but they will not have seri- ous results.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be inclined toward arro- gance and independence. Subjects of this sign often are secretive and benefit through intrigue.
 Alfred D. F. Hamlin, architect and teacher, was born on this day 1855. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Thomas E. Wat con. United States senator, 1856; John G. Carlisle, onetime Secretary Of the Treasury, 1885.

A TRUE COURSE.

No less man than Abraham Lincoln once said free. Proponents of slavery cried in loud voices that it was unconstitutional to abolish it. and even as now shouted, Save the Constitution" It took a Civil War to settle the issue and with its termina tion the Constitution was not junked, but simply amended in accord with the wishes of the majority.
 Today the cry of opponents of Franklin D. Roose- welt, another great President, is Save the Cons- tutionr An autocratic dictatorship is being set up in Washington, they charge, which has no regard for State nor Constitutional rights.
 The alarm, of course, is being sounded merely for political effect and has foundation in truth any more than did a similar charge against Lincoln. There is something higher than the Supreme Court, and that is the will of the people of this country The voice of the people will speak in support of the President because he thinks in terms of na- tional security national prosperity and not along class nor section lines to the detriment of the whole people,
 The exploiters of mankind and the guardians of great wealth may shout Save the Constitution until they blue in the face and President Roose- welt will follow the he has outlined that this nation cannot continue politically free and economically enslaved even as Lincoln said some 75 years ago on the slave issue. The of Roosevelt is just the today was that of the martyred President The Union must and shall be preserved establish justice and promote domestic tranquility.

Master Mind
(New York World-Telegram. )


 That this should to pass was snevJaDle- that Howard c. Hopson, somewhere along the line, would be called the master mind" Like the high powered-car" the smoking revolver and the sick ening thud," the master mind" is always popular with us newspaper folks
 So Howard Hopson joins the innumerabe cara van and the latest in master minds will gladden. the heart of many headline writer.
 Was it from this master mind that the idea came of faking signatures for telegraphc protests by the simple process of going alphabetically through the telephone book? Did this super intellect ceive the great thought of employing Elmer, mes senger boys and divinity student, to solicit among his friends and relatives at per signature? MT. Hopson denies that he the directing genius" behind the telegraphic bombardment. But master minds sometimes modest, sometimes gen. in passing credit for vast ideas to friends and associates It may be- therefore, that his was an organization of master minds and that the credit for those brilliancies should go elsewhere.
 But there is at least one tribute that cannot be denied. When it learned that Howard c. Hopson was wanted for questioning, the master mind clicked With unerring judgment it snapped to its conclusion with noise like the slamming of a tome on pure reason. The way, said the master mind to it's owner, to avoid being questioned is to scram. And he did

VACCINATION LAW.

A dropping off in school attendance from last semester as the fall term opens is reported by school authorities to be due in part to the enforce ment of the vaccination order against smallpox the requirement. being that all children and teachers have certificates of vaccination.
 Aside from its advsability for protection against spread of disease, it might be pointed out that the simply carrying out the provisions or the Territorial law.
 Section 1877 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, reads that school boards within incorporated muni- cpalities are not only authorized to order vaccna- tion but it says shall require, if in the judgment of the Territorial Health Officer such action is for the welfare of the community the children attending said school to be vaccinated against such diseases as the Territorial Health Officer may specify"

 Operating under their own power and without refueling, revictualing, and without the slightest mishap," said the New York Herald, ten submarines designed by American naval architects and built by Amer ican artisans have within the last few months crossed the Atlantic and are now enlisted in yeoman service for the Allied cause in Ger man and Turkish waters. While the rest of the world has been dreaming of the day when transatlantic sub marines would be an accomplished fact, the thing has been done by American genius and American craftsmanship"
 If the scheduled run of pink fish fails to materialize in Puget Sound-and it is now twenty days overdue-Southeast Alaska canners this year will make fortunes" said The Daily Alaska Empire "Only in this district has the salmon fared well this season." Don Davis, cap tain of the Tee Harbor cannery tender Alexander, said that the Tee Harbor plant had packed 48,000 cases and was now winding up it's affairs for the season. A prominent business man told The Empire he would not be surprised to see pink salmon quoted at $5 case.
