That at all While Richardson paid «hwvrv(-llg tribute to the in which the Forestry Bureau, in recent has contributed to Im‘ outlook for the Territory, he made it very plain that the Roosevelt-Pinchot withdrawals v di- rectly responsible for stopping development that | was underway. The New York Times said: Colonel Richardson believes that Al- aska has suffered directly from over- enthusiasm, whether born of romance or commercial propaganda. Exaggerated statements of its wealth and opportuni- ties led, among other things, to the launching of the Government railroad, that Great White Elephant of the North To its exactions Governor Parks p unconscious tribute when, in the coun of his latest annual 'report, he re- marks that “for the first time in the history of the project the deficiency for operation was less than $1,000,000." ‘When the Territory did not grow as fast as they had expected, the enthusiasts blamed the conservationists and the poli- tielans. They said that Gifford Pinchot :md his friends were ‘trying to “lock up” the resources of the Territory, and that the bureaucrats at. Washington had its progress tied in réd tape, “Develop Alaska” became the popular slogan, which found a champion in Secretary Fall. In fact, President Harding him- self, when he set out on his visit to the Territory in 1923, leaned toward accept- ance of that doctrine. He learned better. He saw with his own eyes that what was holding the Territory back was not so much- either extreme conservation policies or Govern- ment neglect, but inexorable economic law. Gen. Richardson said that the exaggeration | of the extent and vichness of Alaska’s resources | led to the withdrawals,. and he said that this locking up of the Territory stopped develop- ment that may have kept in Alaska the people that were brought to it by the discoveries of rich placer fields, and thus bridged . the gap after the placers began to show exhaustion until © other developed. jen. Richard- son places the from the conservationists muckraking as among the ills suffered| through exaggeration of boomers. One of the effective arguments in favor of the Alaska Railroad was that the Government owed the expenditure to the people because wholesale withdrawals of resources from entry "had stopped the building of a railroad into the Interior by private enterprise. The argument was based on fact. If such a railroad had been con- structed ti vears before the building of the Alaska Railroad, at a time when the population of the Territory was larger, the beneficial results would have been much greater than those iol- lowing the Government line. It will take ) or three additional decades to demonstrate how v sthe Alaska Railroad will compensate the growin generation of Alaskans for the injury that Alr Pinchot and Mr. Roosevelt did to the generation that is now fast passing away and the generation that is now in its full tide years. REPUBLIC \‘\\ IN TARIFF Senator McMasters, insurgent Republican of South "Dakota, complicated the National political situation by introducing in Congress the tarift question -from a vew angle. He recently presented a resolution asking for a reduction of tariff rates in the United States, dec ing that the ‘present schedules operate to the disadvantage of the farmers of the country. . Immediately he started a debate between Republican high tariff * advocates and agnicultural bloe membe#s of that party. The Demoeratic low tarif men in the Senate sit back and si¢ the others on.

Yincinnati Enquirer.) Hardy was sometiring more than an novelist, he was a master limner of life veeter aspects. England has perhaps pro- no modern author who can be recognized superior in any true literary sense. He looms above his country's contemporary writ- ers as a clean, soaring shaft of marble towers over all lesser things below it. There is a reserve, a maodesty, a about Hardy work that is at once and inspiring. He writes with facile sympathy concerning real people and probable situations, of emotions and with ‘which we all are familiar. From the pages of this conceded master one m catch the faint perfume of the English olet, envision the vendure of fields and the wandering and straying of flacks of sheep—see the hedgerows and copses, the @owns and streams ‘\\ln.h he paints so entrancingly, so faithfully. Perhaps Hardy's work was done. Who knows? He continued to write to the day of his death, which occurred this week—particularly verse. It may be that the world shall not be given opportunity to see these last inspirations of fad- ing genius. Perhaps it would be better that the world did not see them. He has left so much that is good, so much that will live for long, that his fame should not be made questionable by anything possibly less meritorious than the work which preceded his concluding labors.

(New York Times.) test of the vote' cast for Assembly candidates last November the Republicans have a plurality of about 35,000 in New York State. A year ago the Assembly vote gave a Democratic plurality of somewhat less than 60,000. For the two years the average fluctuating plurality would be about 45,000. In a total vote of more than 2,500,000 this reveals a party margin either of less than 2 per cent. ‘Much closer than greal State could hardly be. bat, however, is the normal aspect when outstanding personality is not injected into the election. The personal factor has worked in be- half of the Democrats, the more frequent name for personality being Al Smith, Last year's As- sembly vote in New York City showed a Demo- cratic decline of mnearly 140,000 from the pre- vious year, when Al Smith wa§ running. Last year's Assembly vote up-State showed a gain of 63,000 over the preceding Gubernatorial vote. Whether this measures the strength of Al Smith or the weakn of the Republican candi- date will naturally remain a subject of dispute. But if the voting for Assembly is accepted as basic party strength it would seem to leave a very narrow margin for Al Smith to overcome whenever he may run for what, The announcement doesn’t say. that Clarence By the it| idoes no good to get drunk, but there is no way of stopping peo- | ple from doing either.
