toward reorganization OF the eXeCu-
tive agencies of the Federal Govern
ment has been dealt body blow by
the furor that has arisen over reor-
ganizing the judiciary. Likewise no
legislation to clarity the Wagner labor
relations law so as to make it fair and
effective is being brought forward be-
cause Of belief that when the
Supreme Court decides the pending
cases. the whole labor problem will
become wrapped up in the controversy
over the size of the court.
Even the proposals fer the recapture
OF the worthwhile things in the N. r.
A. such as the establishment of better
hours and working conditions under
a system of voluntary cooperation in
exchange for certain governmental
privileges for the code groups or trade
associations seem to have been side
tracked.
Slows Up Important Bills.
But worst of all, the bitterness being
engendered by the dispute is making
inroads into everyday work of the
legislative branch of the Government
and the movement of important bills
toward final enactment is being re-
tarded to such an extent that a con-
gressional session through some of the
Summer months is regarded now as
inevitable.
1t is too early to say what the po-
litical consequences of the controversy
will be, but with a congressional cam
paign only IS months away it is nat
ural that members of botn houses
should be wondering what effect the
votes they cast on the Supreme Courv
bill may have on their political tu-
ture
Politically there is ammunition for
q flrst-rate issue in the preSert dis
pute. The Republicans cautiously
have been avoiding any ap oearance
of aggressive fighting. believing it Is
better for the Democrats who disagree
with the administration to appear in
the front-line trenches. But it is
not to be forgotten that once a num-
Der of members Of Congress find them
selves breaking from the White House
on one issue they are not so tim:d
about it the second time, especially
If they see favorable public opinion
heading their way.
Split With Party Possible.
Few observers here believe Mr..
Roosevelt will carry his fight against
the Supreme Court to the point Of
breaking up his own party. Yet such
result is easily possible if the Presi-
dent does not move away from the
fundamental question he has raised
the power of the Executive to read
Just the judicial branch of the Gov
ernment
Meanwhile there is growing evil
dence Of a serious economic situa-
ton. The "sit-down' strikes are
causing an increase in the Interrupt
tions of the recovery march. The
situation cries out for some public
policy that will meet the legitimate
demands of organized labor without
breaking down the productive proc
esses Of the country. Because of
Mr.. Rooseyelt's political pre-eminence
the local authorities everywhere seem
to be looking to him for leadership |
The Wagner labor relations law was
supposed to deal with problems of
this kind. Yet no move is being
made to amend the law so as to bring |
industrial peace.
1t often has been said that liberals |
are precipitate and hasty when they |
get into power, and the latter usually |
answer that because they stay in !

| Earnings of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company per share for
the twelve months of last year were
1896 as compared with $6.74 the pre-
vious year. This was the first year
since 1881 in which the company's full
dividend payment had been earned.
A net gain Of approximately $4,000
telephones was added to the Bell Sys-
tenn in 1886 as compared with 461,000
in 1885, President Walter S. Clifford
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company reported to the stock
holders at the first meeting of the
year. There were about 14,735,000
telephones in service on December 81,
1886, which is $4,000 less than the
maximum development which was
reached in 1880.
The total number Of toll and long
distance calls in 1886 was about IL
per cent greater than in 1885, but 10
per cent less than in the record year
Of 1880.

SAFETY, THE AVIATION OBJECTIVE

Not since the Army with improper equipment ran into tragedy carrying the mail some year and a half ago have the airways of the States taken such toll of death they have in recent weeks. Seven major disasters have befaen passenger liners in the last few weeks of the worst striking in San Francisco bay night before last when Il per sons lost their lives
 In comparison with other modes of transporta- ton for the number of miles travelled, the arpane continues to have excellent record of safety, and its fatalities are nowhere the number that are chaked up against the automobile annually in every state in the union But the fact that there plane accidents and they invariably accompanied with great loss of life would indicate that the engineers still have long ways to go in perectng this newest and fastest means of transportation.
 Stringent regulations have been established in connection with flying and there is ample reason to believe that they cannot be too strict due to the natural hazardous factors surrounding aerial naviga tion. There is no trial and error in flying. One mistake the birdmen say, is your last one in that business A driver might have crackup after crackup with his automobile but the pilot of airplane hasn't the advantage of even one mistake or it be- comes his last usually. He must be letter perfect and his airplane must fail. It is a big order for the at the sticks" and the engineers who build the aircrafts which today traverse the arways But humans being subject to error and mechanical perfection not yet being reached, we have airpane ' accidents
 The obvious conclusion must follow then that it isn't criticism of the mistakes that may have beer made that is needed to bring greater safety to air transportation but additional encouragement to the industry and the in it that they might through persistent effort eliminate the features which now tend to these accidents.
 We can't go too far in putting safety barriers around aviation. It might well be admitted that it is a hazardous occupation. Thus it requires more protection than any other mode of travel We can't go far at least in this period of the industry in setting up regulations and safety precautions which will tend to eliminate disasters such have struck the airways recently.
 Our present Territorial Legislature is considering airpane legislation at the present time Some oppo- siton has arisen to the particular legislation which it is proposed to enact Doubtless the objections based honest opinion, but the fact remains that there are air disasters and a result the Alaska Legislature any other legislative body agency dealing with aviation must make its primary objective safety for those who travel the airway How that objective is reached is not nearly important as that it be reached. ks

The Search For Truth
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCincinnati Enqurer)
 The history of human progress has been the record of mans relentless search for truth. Our de- voton to that end will be the of achieve ment. Many of the complex questions that arise to plague from time to time could be solved easily if consistently kept before of the most pro- found and beautiful sentences of Jesus. The words have come echoing down through the ages, turning mans effort again and again to the path of progress
 And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free"
 In its clarity and simplicity, this phrase of time less wisdom has never been more valid than today, of time it sheds great light on the interrea tions of freedom and progress. We move forward as we find out about physical world and about ourselves The pursuit of truth is the ladder which man climbs upward
 We are more sure of progress protect the means of finding truth It is to this end that mankind has given particular respect to scholarship and science and has tried to nsuate them against the pressures of politics and profit It is for this purpose that have written into fundamental law in America the in writing and in assembly, The pursuit of truth continue only in climate of civil liberty. And as learn of truth we come to enjoy truer freedom.
 So it is that the pursuit of truth is easier for in free society And in society where truth is sought and honored, freedom in fuller measure is heritage. Bearing this in mind it is clear that should redouble determination, in world where liberty is much in shadow to protect at any cost the ample freedom which spurs the search for truth Freedom in the of civil rights, of facili tates the spread of This is part of the price must pay But while all men free eventu ally will be found out and will be discreded
 ) Inevitably. this that must tolerate dis sent for has the right or the wisdom to say that his fellow man does not merit the freedom to speak he believes If any arrogates the task of sencing another, he sets himself against the only path by which all men advance-the path of freedom.
