THE NORTH BECKONS.

Arthur Brisbane, veteran eororial sage for the Hearst papers recently took occasion to comment on Empire editorial comparing the vast Territory of Alaska with the Isle of Ceylon and pointing out the opportunity for population while sressing always the cause of ultimate statehood for the Territory.
 While The Empire is flattered it is deeply grateful to the famed coumnst for espousing the of Alaska. MT Brisbane has millions of readers for his column Today and his comment means tar-tlung publicity for the Territory that money cannot buy An example is the fact that the last two mail boats since MT Brisbanes comment appeared throughout the nation on February 15, have brought upwards ot 1000 inqueres to The Empire from all parts of the United States asking about Alaska It is interesting to note that many of them crossed the continent by air mail in time to catch the boat at Seattle That sort of mail service will come to Alaska too with population
 But the point is the eagerness of people in the States to know about the north Doubtless the 000 odd but forerunner of the letters for information that will follow later boats. perusal of the queries indicate they mostly from persons of substance who interested in locating permanent 1y in the Territory
 Alaska is in the dawn of era. Are We in the Territory preparing to meet the opportunity? To- day it is northward the of Empire takes s way

System Is To Blame For Sea Tragedy.
lPort Angeles Evening News1

Port Angeles Evening News)
 Imposing stiff sentences on the three men convict ed of criminal negligence in the disastrous Moro Cas- tie fire will probably satisfy the American pubcs desire to get even" with somebody for that tragedy even though it won't do very much in the way of bringing the dead back to life
 Whether it will meet the demands of justice in an abstract sense is another question
 The men convicted of criminal negligence are Act ing Captain William F. Warns; Chief Engineer Eben S. Abbott and Henry E. Cabaud vice president of the company which operated the Moro Castle. And al though the evidence in the seems ample to justify such verdict there plenty of to believe that the real culprit got off unscathed.
 This culprit, of course the system under which the Moro Castle operated the system that permits fire traps to put to that permits owners to their ships with unrained crews that forces skipper to delay until the very last minute the sending of sos in case emergency arises.
 Granted that there tragic failure of the hum element in this disaster-that officers and men alike acted in such way to disgrace the traditions of the American merchant marine That fact does not tell the whole story
 These three men whom federal court jury con- yicted of negligence did not design and build the Morro Castle, and equip her with all manner of flm sy and inflanmabe fittings that bound to go up like finder. once blaze started. They didn't invent the high pressure competition which sends ships to sea manned by whom there has been no time to drill and discipline properly.
 Most important of all, they weren't responsible for the change in merchant marine practices which has reduced the captain of ship to mere figurehead unable to do anything of importance without duly radioed authorization from his home office.
 Those are the factors which made wholesale trag- edy out of little blaze that should have caused no more than passing inconvenience
 Many things are responsible for them-business depression natural greed for profit spshod laws gov- erning the construction and inspection of passenger ships, and so on Finding the remedies will be slow and difficult job
 But until we do find them, the way will be open for disasters like this of the Moro Castle to occur again. Sending three scapegoats to prison will provide no protection at all.

OLD AGE PENSION PROBE.

The nation will watch with a great deal of inter- est the investigation of old pension plans by the House committee headed by Congressman Bell of Mis- souri Particularly will interest attach to the Town send plan the best known and most popular of the group.
 Townsendtes claim membership throughout the nation of 8O00000 These paid initiation fee of 25 cents per person according to Congressman Bells report making a total of S2000000 The levy, he says is then 10 cents per month $8O00O0 month reve- nue, which in any buisness isn't bad income Bells contention is that it makes fat monthly fee for the heads of the Townsend organization, but R. E. Townsend says it is all illusion the part of the investigators Buttons and literature cost large fraction of the intake he claims At least 1000 week goes out for radio time Clements points out He says printing bills to S85,0c0 end probably will to $100000 in this campaign year. Postage is big
 item and of there is the staff salaries which Congressman Bell hints broadly the biggest take in the entire scheme That is something for the in- vestigation to prove.
 In this era of special movements, the probe of the pension plans will indeed be of unusual interest It may too furnish few tips to the two old parties on how to fill the chest with ease

THE REPUBLICAN HOPE.

While several opponents of the Republican faith hope to be the great the party will turn to at Cleveland in it's hour of travail it appears the present writing that the powers believe Landon of Kansas fits into the middle better than any midde-of the-roader between the two extremes Borah and Hoover.
 MT. Borah, who has been Idaho's contribution to the political world for the last quarter of century is opening his battle against big business and the return of Wall Street control of the Republican party The Idahoan admits he has found flaws in the system by which the Supreme Court invadates acts of Con- gress, but under the Republican banner he probably will take the position that God time and native American genius will work out this problem with the instruments at hand
 tion just opposite the conservative ex- President Hoover who has been the leading assalant of the New Deal to date MT Hoover is more than conservative He is reactionary, representing that group which believes in the divine right of wealth to rule. The former President has been so innoculated with the serum of the special interests group which he repre- sented for four years in the White House that he has entirely forgotten the fact that this nation founded the premise of free and unhampered right to each individual
 Thus the two extremes of Repubicanism MT Borah the quiet colorless gentleman from Kansas MT Landon. The Grand Old Party has to find candi- date for the middle and somehow prays might be Landon The Kansan is to be put forward for his economy frugality and general budget balancing But
