Our fisheries are so vital that upon their prosperity depends in a large measure the prosperity of the community.

On July 4, in Prague, capital of Czecho- slovakia, the natal day of the United States was observed by the dedication of a new memorial in front of the Wilson railway station, the prin- cipal station of the city. It was also the tenth anniversary of the Czechoslovakia Republic and was celebrated with impressive ceremonies. This is a reminder in many parts of the world, ten years after the armistice that ended the World Way, Woodrow Wilson is enthroned in tradition and' sentiment as a great world figure, probably the most striking of his day and age. In Czechoslovakia, for instance, which is in many ways the soundest and best governed and most promising of all the new countries set up independently after the war, Wilson is in a way both the George Washington and the Lafayette of the nation. EXPORTS AS A FACTOR OF (()l’l’ER THE PRICE European donmnrl ]LI\ ln-ou a big influence in the advance in price of copper, says the Na- tional Bank of Commerce in New York in the July issue of Commerce Monthly: Perhaps no single factor has had so much direct influence on the advance in prices of copper as the extraordinary de- mand for the metal in foreign countries, chiefly in Europe. Net imports by the primary consumers of copper outside of the United States during the first quarter of 1928 were nearly 40 per cent. higher than imports in the first quarter of last year. Although definite data are not available, net takings by foreign coun- tries are known to have been unusually large in the second quarter. A veritable copper boom is reported in Germany, one of the largest consumers Foreign takings have been so large that despite the recognized rehabilita- tion of European industries there is some question whether hea imports have not been partly in anticipation of future requirements caused by fear of advances in price. ‘World production has been finally ad- Justed to a level in proper balance to consumption. Surplus stocks that were once the bane of price stability have been absorbed. So-called standard cop- per in Great Britain has ceased to be a significant factor in price fluctuations. Deliveries for consumption in the United States, while somewhat below deliveries in the first months of 1927, are above the general average for the year and are at a satisfactory level, lmprovemenl in the copper situation may be' ascribed in no small measure to recognition by the leaders in the in- dustry of the fundamental problems that mmm it.

(New York Times.) Returns from the prohibition referendum held in North Dakota Wednesday are still imperfect. | Apparently the vote was closer than would natur- raly be expected in a State dedicated since 1889 to prohibition. The mere fact that in such a State, with a predominantly rural population, the of State prohibiticon should be again submitted to the people is significant. The pro- hibition clause in the Constitution s adopted by the people by a separate vote. At that time public opinion was quite evenly divided on the subject. It had grown, but not notably, in 1915, when the people approved by referendum a statute enacting severer penalties for violations of the State liquor law. As in other States, the Leg ure was much more virtuous than the people There were only two votes in the North Da- Senate and ten in the House against rati- ation of the Eighteenth Amendment. Early in te unanimously and the House with ten dissents passed a concurrent resolution ing Congress never to make the Velstead act more liberal But things have happened, dis- couring to Volsteadian.

Presumably it works there as it works every- where else. The ate loses money. There is plenty of drink, such as it is, The moral fruit of the reign of the Dry saints is visible in many ways Whether the repeal of the prohibition ause in the Constitution is carried or not, it is striking that there should have been voters enough to initiate a referendum. Moreover, this is the first occasion the North Dakota women “ave had to vote on prohibition. North Dakota is one of the oldest homes of prohibition. Will she cast it out? And where was Senator Borah? Is “nullification” in Nevada and Montana, at- tempted ‘“nullification” in North Dakota, no sin and of no account? Alaska’s the law ur Industry. (Seattle Times.) In an interview at Seward, R. a business man of Southwestern that, the fur industry was a detriment to the Territory because prospectors prefer the easier life of the trapper to the harder toil of panning the gravel on the creeks. He said there was a shortage of prospectors. The idea that the fur industry could be re- garded by anybody as a curse to Alaska is ratHer startling. One imagines that the prospectors take up trapping because they can make a live- lihood at it, but, in any event, fur adds materially to the value of Alaska's exports. In 1927 the output of miscellaneous furs and skins amounted to §$4,287,500. Blue fox skins valued at $681,- 000 and silver fox valued at $129,500 were shipped to the States. The value of the seal skins taken last year was $508,000. The development df Alaska has brought about several important changes in recent year. Up to 1927 minerals valued at $571,000,000 were taken from Alaska. The peak of the mineral production was in 1916, when the output reach- ed $48,000,000. In 1926 ‘the salmon canneries produced $49,000,000, whkh however, was an exceptional yield. Commercial fur culture is likely to be one of Alaska's leading industries. There are more than 400 fur farms in Alaska, representing an investment of $6,000,000. A recently enacted law makes it possible for fur farmers to lease sec- tions of the public domain. Eventually their output should exceed in value the wilder catch from the trappers’ runs. In the meantime there need be no special worry over the tendency of prospectors to aban- don their trade to find an easier living trapping fur-bearing animals. That phase of Alaska’s economic life will adjust itself in due time. Anderson, ka, said The mayor of Dover, Ohio, has ordered a man whipped for getting drunk. That's a step in the right direction.
