ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER| THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION SEATTLE ALASKA PAPER ON ALASKA FISHERIES. reaiatinee; ) column is an editorial from the successor of the Alaska Dis- published in Junean but for the rs coming out in Seattle, in which the Seattle publication renews its previously expressed belief that the Alaska fisheries ought to he administered by the Territory of Alaska, but declaring that as long as they are under the control of the FKederal Bureau of Fisheries a better head of that organization than Henry 0'Malley could not be found. The Empire thoroughly agrees with the Al- aska Weekly. Alaska ought to have the power to administer its own fisheries. No people are so greatly interested in perpetuating the in- dustry as the people who live in the Territory. No people are so well situated to exercise authority over them. However, the people of Alagka, through their Delegate in Congress, consented to Federal con- trol, and we shall probably have Federal ad- ministration of them for years. Under the ecir- cumstances it is pleasing to realize that there ij8 a man of Mr. O'Malley’s ability, knowledge of the subject, courage and integrity at the head of the administration. In another Alaska Weekly, patch, former last several y The late Mr. Bryan used to contend that those who do not believe that the Bible from “kivver to Xkivver” contains the inspired word of God, especially those who believe in evolu- tion, are mnot Christians and are in danger of hell fire. Thousands of our fundamentalist friends believe that now. Mr. Bryan contended and fundamentalists contend that the universities and | colleges of the land are turning out infidels, and " that something ought to be done about it. However, there are thousands of other. Chris- | tians that believe in free thought, and do a lot of free thinking themselves, who do not agree with these fundamentalist doctrines. One of these is Dr. Glenn Frank, the brilliant Presi- dent of the.University of Wisconsin, a Missourian and a sympathizing friend of Henry L. Mencken. Mencken would make him President. Dr. Frank is free, and he follows truth where he lfieves it is, regardless of political platforms or creeds of Churches or social censors. He is opposed to Prohibition and other regulative measures that must be put into effect with force. Some of our fundamentalists regard him as a dangerous citizen. ' Yet he is a Methodist and claims to be a good Christian. Who can judge him? . A prayer written by Dr. Frank for the late Wisconsin Legislature might not appeal to funda- mentalists, but it is hard to believe that it would not find favor with Jesus of Nazareth. It follows: Almighty God, Lord of all Govern- ments, help us to realzie the sanctity of politics. Help us to know that the call to office is nothing less than a call to co- operate with Thee in the wise direction of life in this commony ealth. Give us the insight and grant us the power to lift this business of govern- ment into an adventure that we may with reverence call the Politics of God, because by it we shall seek to fashion the lite of this commonwealth in the likeness of that City of God which has been the dream of saints and seers for unnumbered centuries. Save us from the sins to which we shall be subtly tempted as the calls of parties and the cries of interest beat upon this seat of government. Save us from thinking about the next election when we should be think- ing about the next generation. Save us from dealing in personali- ties when we should be dealing in principles. Save us from thinking too much the vote of majorities when we should be thinking about the virtue of wm. Save us, in crucial hours of debate, saying the things that will take we should be saying the things true. us from indulging in catch- ‘when we should be searching us from making party an end f when we should be making eans to an end. do mot ask more protection these temptations that will sur- us in these legislative halls; we also for an ever finer insight into ‘meaning .(Pmsnt that we may te!

Weekly.) the last issue of The Alaska Weekly we ran an editorial on the subject of Alaska's Fisheries which has occasioned considerable com- ment-—some adverse and some in hearty agree- ment. We are not particularly interested in either agreement or disagreement since our edi- torial expressions constitute only the opinions of the staff of this publication at which we have conscientiously ived and for which we have not yet found it necessary to apologize. H We do, however, object strenuously to any misinterpretation of our intent or meaning. We wish to state emphatically that the editorial referred to was not intended as nor can it be possibly construed to be an attack on Mr. Henry O'Malley, U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries. Our contention was and still is that Alaska's Fisheries should be administered from Alaska for the good of all concerned but we wish to go on record as convinced that so long as the presént law remains in force no more capable man could be found to administer it than Mr. O'Malley. We do not entirely agree with his course in closing the fisheries, as he did. without re- course. We think that it would have been better judgment to have issued a temporary closing order leaving late fall fishing open if conditions justified such a course. If he has made any mistake the above is the only charge that can be laid at his door—and it should be remembered that except as concerns a few scat- tered areas not a single bit of evidence is so far available to prove that his orders for a com- plete shutdown were not entirely justified as the only means of insuring an adequate escape- ment. Once more let us say that our contention has been and still is that such autocratic power as that invested in Commissioner O'Malley fis wrong in principle and that the Territory of Alaska should administer its own fisheries. We none the less firmly realize that there is no im- mediate likelihood of changing the law and wish to reiterate our belief that so long as the present law is in force that there is no man in the’ country who by virtue of experience, first hand knowledge, honesty and sincerity of purpose is so thoroughly qualified to ad- minister that law as is Henry O'Malley.

A Fairy Tale Once upon a time there was & motor car salesman who threw up his job to become a life in- surance agent because he founl people were so much more anxious to buy life insurance than they were automobiles. It Is to Laugh A modern girl who knows a thing or two about roadside pei- ting would think, if she heardl 1t mentioned, that a whip socke! was some new drink being served at the soda fountain, but e c s Youth in Office. (New York Times.) It is not only the affable manners and dapper appearance of Mayor Walker that startle the staid burghers of Berlin, but his extreme youth- fulness. This may not be exactly what it seems to them, since there are official records of the Mayor's age and political activities. But cer- tainly in his jaunty spirit he might easily be taken for an incurable youth. This is not the first time that Germans have wondered at young Americans holding important ofticial positions, When the Reparations Com- missioner, Mr. Parker Gilbert, arrived in Berlin, the reporters thought that some undergraduate in college had turned up by mistake. But they have since found that there is such a thing as an old head on young shoulders. The special reason for German wonder at Mayor Walker is easy to understand. There he is in his fresh and smiling youthfulness, the Burgermeister of the greatest city in the United States. Any such distinction in Germany could) | be won only after a long period of service in minor positions. The Germans have long made Mayoring one of the professions. It involves special training and long experience. The same idea may be said to be slowly making its way in Anorica through the new office of City Man- ager. But our Mayors we shall probably con- tinue to improvise light-heartedly. f Plenty of Yaps. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) There are ten nations that send no immi- grants to the United States. They are: Ethiopia, Muscat, Nepal, Tanganyika, British and French Togoland, the French Camerooms, Nauri, New Guinea, and Yap. We ‘have no feeling against most of these peo- ple, but we are glad about the Yaps. We have too many Yaps now. If what they are trying to do to us is any fndication of what their homeland is, it must be a place of such back- wardness and blindness, of s9 many antediluvian beliefes, and so many mediaeval notions, that no Yap would leave it. 0 We are therefore not surprised that no Yap does.
