M. TANNER. Josias M. Tanner, who died at Skagway Tuesday night, was an unusual man and lived a notable life, He was rugged and virile and kind and generous.

Therefore, he was always meet any emergency that might arise. It was the most natural thing in the world that the people of Skagway, when faced with the nccessity to remove _the cancerous “Soapy” Smith gang from their midst, turned to him to} lead them. As the head of the citizens' organi- zation, or vigilantes, he did his work effectively and with a rapidity that was startling. As a re- sult of efficient leadership a dozen men were sent to the penitentiary, about two score were sent out of town and as many more quit it of their own volition. He had the gaung rounded up in a week. And there were no lynchings. His work earned for him a Deputy Marshal’'s commission and laid the foundetion for his appointment as United States Marshal eighteen years later by President Wilson, where he gave the people a fine administration for five years. He served Skagway Mayor for terms and was an active member of the Terri- torial Senate in the First and Second Legis- latures. In all civic matters of his home town he took a leading part. He was stive in couraging athletic sports, and usually was man- ager of Skagway's baseball teams, gun clubs, ete. The spirit of contest found in him an en: thusiastic champion. He was born in that State was dominated by the Cass, the very year that Gen. Democratic nominee for President. had been a strong Cass supporter and had been rewarded by appointment as Warden of the State penitentiary. Being a man who rarely changed his mind, the son remained stanch Democrat throughout his life.

In the American vegetable garden eight prin- cipal food products had their origin in the In- dian crops existing here before the advent of the white man. These include beans, corn, pep- pers, pumpkins, squash, tomato, potato, and sweet potato. Vegetables of Old World origin ere far more numerous. The United States De- partment of Agriculture lists 24 of importance, cucumbers, eggplant, muskmelon, watermelon, okra, asparagus, beets, Brugsels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, caulifiower, celery, kale and collard, kohl- rabi, leek, lettuce, onion, parsley, parsnius, peas, radish, salisify, spinach, and turnip. But the value of the crop of the eight native vegetables i8 considerably greater than the 24 of foreign origin. Since the discovery of America the white man has not “tamed” any native plant which the Indians had not already brought fr.ri warmer parts of America, but notable improvenients have been made in the quality and yields of most of these vegetables. SEES ATTACK A TARIF] ON AMERICAN .~ Benator Reed Smoot of Utah does not agree ‘with President Coolidge that the attack on pro- ive tariffs by the International Economic Con- at Geneva last May and that by the In- ional Chamber of Commerce at Stockholm July does not apply to the United States but intended to break the tariff walls of In a signed editorial appearing in the ‘clear that the Gen- e 4 3 1 DITOR AND MANAGER Lake Telegram on September 7, under the “Attacks On U. §.

Even He Has a Limit . what's the idea, ain't you to work today?" demanded Mrs. Diogenes, impatiently, as she saw old Di settle himself in a comfortable chair with his pipe and a book. going shoes. While that assertion may be a rather sweeping allocation of blame, it does contain a very sizeable germ of truth, in suggesting lhfl operation of forces that have been at work for, some years and are revealing their effects today in much altered and much stronger hide and leather markets. The basic equation is that be- |tween meat and leather. The latter is funda- !mentally a by-product. The National Shoe Retailers’ Association is ened con- teers kill- a 1 currently recorded as declaring the le sumption of meat, as meaning fewer ed and therefore fewer hides, means also per cent, to 20 per cent. enhancement in prices of shoes. Should the situation ever get to the point where steers had to be killed for hides alone, thus reversing the old sequence, shoes would cost yet much more. The logic is fairly clear. It was the imperative that primarily expanded the steer herds of the world. Peace greatly cut down that demand. The vegetarian, of course, adds his mite of re- |duction; but he is far from the sole figure. We lare all eating at least less meat. That arbitrarily limits the total of hide raw material. Add a pronounced gain in footwear and other leather demand, and the altered hide situation, now some- what suddenly appreciated after six years of ad- war demand for beef versity, was inevitable. . In the first half of this year the slaughter of cattle was mora than a half-milllon below a year ‘ago. Here is a recent Department of Agri culture report, wtitten not from the hide but the meat standpoint: ‘“Prespects favor a continua- tion of the general upward trend in cattle prices, which has been in evidence the past three years.” Natural causes, slowly working, are visibly operative here. (There can be no manipulated boom in hide: There can be no hidden sup- plies, no secret kills. Cattle supplies and meat consumption are the factors that keep slaughter relatively low at 20 per cent, under last year, and hides not only less plentiful but 80 per cent. more expensive. Less meat, less leatler,—it is an old corol- lary. It is in so far as he personally can affect it that the vegetarian ean be blamed for dearer shoes. Dry Doctors Disagree. (Hartford Courant.) “Pussyfoot” Johnson declares it “pure bunk” to say that the young people of the country are drinking more liguor today than ever before. This opinion is forwarded from Winona Lake, Ind., where the Congress of the World League Against Alcoholism has been in session. Mr. Johnson should visit New Jersey, where an in- vestigation has shown many cases of excessive drinking by the young of both sexes and a clean-up movement has been started by county authorities. From Washington comes the report of the views of James C. Waddell, retiring Supervisor lof Alcohol and Brewery Control of the Prohibi- tion Bureau, which are mnot at all in accord with Mr. Johnson's verdict that Prohibition is a success. Mr. Waddell asserts that present enforcement conditions are farcical and he sug- gests modification of the Volstead Act to permit the sale of 2.75-per-cent. beer in the interest of real temperance. It is, he says, simply a “sug- gestion to those Americans who wish to see Prohibition enforced to bring about the preven- tion of drunkenness.” Evidently the doctors do not agree, but it is not unreasonable to suppose that Mr. Waddell’s opportunity to learn condi- tions has been quite as good as that of Mr. Johnson. Boycotting Grocers. (Chicago Tribune.) The President of the W. C. T. U. has sug- gested a boycott of grocers who sell materials from which alcohelic drinks can be made. She is probably thinking of malt and hops, but she ought not to stop there. The boycott should include grocers who sell apples, pears, grapes, plums, prunes, bananas, figs, raisins, currants, blackberries, raspberries, cherries or any of the other fruits and berries. They are all used in the manufacture of home-made liquors of one sort or another. We wish to direct particular attention also to the desirability of boycotting: any grocer who sells sugar and yeast. When the production and distribution of these two commodities has been stopped, home-brewing will be made much more difficult. In seeking another loan in America, the, French Government is generously willing to let| bygones be bygones.—(Boston Herald.) According to ‘“Pussyfoot” Johnson, nations have begun banishing liquor.
