He has demonstrated his ¥ cere desire to bring about ! more than one occasion and in several W has sanctioned the efforts of the Fores to promote utilization of Alaskan timber resourec by the establishment of the pulp and paper manu- facturing industry As an earnest of his sin cerity, he approved a liberali fon of contract requirements that makes it possible for the For | est Seryice to offer great tr of timber in competition with the crown grants of Canadian Provinces. He is seeking to reform administr tive procedure so that Government may far as is possible under the conditions, actually an Alaskan affair. To this end he s striving to give local agenis of the Department authority “to handle all local matters, that is, leave thc decision on Alaskan questions in the hands. of its representatives in Alaska, all of whom in point of residence, property ownership and p interest are real Alaskans. As ‘development waxes, there will be more and more questions arising which wil have to be Department. | "A¢ personal ‘ac- quaintance with the Territory and its people is a desirable thing to have under the eireumstances. And it is to be hoped that Secretary Jardine can ¥ find the time, despite the fact that it is Pre { dential election year, to pay an extensive v ! to this Northland. The Chamber of Commerc . was timely in issuing its invitation for a visit. Other commercial and civic organizations would do well to follow its lead. —— though under Al- less tenant more or Forest Serv- during to the to visit peo- sins local development on Service ts nal Not being able to find anything in the record of Gov. Al' Smith that puts him in opposition to the REighteenth *~ Amendment, Anti-Saloon League officers’ seem bent one that will suit their own views. In St Scott McBride, Superintendent of tion, reiterated a charge that Gov. Smith had declared, at a Vanderbilt Hotel dinner a few years ago, the Democratic Party is a saloon party; that everybody knew it and that it was time for the party to come out and say so. This alleged statement was first bruited about last month by some minor League officer in a Boston speech. Commenting on it, the New York Times rejected it false and challenged the League to name the persons present, and fix definitely the date on which the dinner was held. The Times further said it had searched its own records, the files in its libra and could find «~ mo account of any such declaration, nor of any _ statement that could be interpreted to mean that, anywhere. Until such time as_the League can substantiate its charge with something more ,definite than a “dinner a few years ago | those who wish to be reasonable and fair will discredit its assertions. And unless able Peters- as it is v\ to fix the date and produce creditable witnesses &9 who heard the alleged statement, it should either retract itz charge or be branded as the circulator of a malicious falsehood with intent to injure one whose public service to the people of his State has far outweighed any performed by his would- | be detractors. THE CAVELL PICTURE. The latest of “Bawn,” depicting the so-called war the life and death of the yr nurse Edith Cavell has aroused a storm protest. Filmed in England, its showing is lJared to have stired up intensive bitterness ;1 it Germany. An American, Arch Selwyn, bought the rights of showing for the United and is seeking to place it before the can public. With the announcement of lwyn’s intention, many prominent Americans ive amnounced their opposition to its exhibition ‘this country. Among those antagonistic to it yre: Mayor James J. Walker of New York City; p W. Gerard, former Ambassador to German: , Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Colum- a University, Otto H. Kahn, and Semator W.

The United States has reason to feel very ‘lil'flllll and grateful for the showing made at |Havana by the nation's delegates to the Havana | conference. Great strides forward have been |taken in the direction of western continental lamity and understanding. The strong men of {the southern republics met with our own on |friendly, earnest terms of accord and cooperation. It was the greatest session of the Pan-American | Congress yet held. What was accomplished makes momentous history. Especially was it matter for felicitation that the United States and Brazil saw s0 nearly eye to eye with reference to the great questions and problems which came before the convention, It is believed that in the recent session of the Congress the position of the United States was made so plain that there can be hereafter no doubt concerning it. Particularly contributive to this end was the remarkable and outstanding work of Charles Evans Hughes, Chairman of the American delegation, who won the confidence, respect and applause of the representatives of all the nations assembled at the Cuban capital. Mr. Hughes more than justified the faith of this Government and people in his address and abilities as a major spokesman with reference to the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. He it was who stood up and answered every criticism of American policies, who presented the arguments of reason why this Government and all the gov- ernments of the south should merge their des- tinies in so far such union may be possible. His was the clear, incisive logie which dispelled the clouds and vapors of illegitimate suspicion and distrust of our national intent and policies. It was, perhaps, the triumph of the former great Secretary of State's public career. Indissolubly knit with the history of his country now are the threads of his deeds and achievements at Havana; already they had been conspicuous, but it was in the late congress that they took on their brightest luster. It America is great and elean and stroug; it its relationships with the other nations of this hemisphere are unselfish and homorable and gen- erous, protective and helpful—a8 we know them to be—Charles Evans Hughes deserves the credit of having convinced the southern nations of the truth of the fa It is a pleasure to' accord honor to so great an Americal A local political thinker: &3 down to a stomach specialist this 1 It seems he t Willis dreamed last night tha of Ohio, had carried New York against Al Smith.— (Detroit News.) i Don’t . feel flattered advances.
