Haines was so unfortunate as to have his engine broken, while enroute to Seattle in the little Miss Juneau with an outboard motor trying to establish a new record. Hope is general that he will succeed in his second attempt which, it is intended, will not be long delayed. To make a trip from Juneau to Seattle in a'15-foot boat with an outboard motor for power under the circumstances that surround Mr. Haines's effort will beget a lot of publicity and all of it will tend to prove to those who usually spend their vacations on the water that no place in the world offers the advantages for summer yachting that is presented by the Alaska Inside Passage. There are thousands of Americans and Canadians who devote a large part of each summer to yacht- ing, and the number is growing constantly. The effort to attract these yachtsmen to Alaska through an annual Capital-to-Captial Yacht Race and such undertakings as that of Mr. Haines is worth while. A yacht touring Alaska for a few months, or weeks, brings people who spend money and people who have money to invest. It has been demonstrated over and over again that tourists of the class that use yachts for their pleasure constitute a source from which investors are recruited in large numbers. So The Empire and all others who love sport and believe in the need for calling the world’s at- tention to the marvelous advantages of the waters of Southeast Alaska for yachting purposes will wish Mr. Haines better luck in his next attempt to make the trip from Juneau to Seattle in his 15- foot boat in 52 hours or less: GOV. PARKS'S FLIGHT. Gov. Parks's flight from Juneau to Oakland, California, in one calendar day is an excellent ad- vertisement for the practicability of air transpor- tation in the Northwest. The flight, which was made in about twenty hours, elapsed time, was not an attempt to break any records or to establish a record. It was made in ordinary commercial planes under ordinary conditions. In fact, there was a delay in Seattle of more than four hours. The record makes it plain that the trip could be made by the Alaska-Washington Airways planes, if prep- arations were made for it, in sixteen hours—perhaps less. And, by the way, this flight of Gov. Parks, fol- lowing the strenuous day's work Sunday by the seaplane Juneau, when she made three flights from Juneau and return—to Taku Inlet, Port Althorp and Petersburg—before hopping off for Seattle, taken in connection with her past performances in making less than daylight trips back and forth between Juneau and Seatt speaks volumes for the Alaska- ‘Washington Airway planes and Pilot-Manager Eckmann. The seaplane Juneau and the Gorst amphibian Alaskan have demonstrated a reason for a Juneau-Seattle air mail service. TRAPPING DEER. Stationary and permanent traps for catching deer for restocking other ranges are being developed in cooperative experiments between the Biological Sur- vey of the United States Department of Agriculture and other agencies. In a letter from the Wisconsin Conservation Commissioner to the Survey, a report by the State Superintendent of Game was inclosed on the results of the operation of a deer trap, developed by the commission in accordance with recommendations of & ficld naturalist of the Biological Survey and in- corporating certain features suggested by traps used by the Forest Service in Arizona. The type of trap developed has been found effective in catching deer in Wisconsin, and when further perfected should Pprove a valuable aid in obtaining these animals for restocking purposes in many parts of the country. A trap may be portable for temporary use, as for trapping deer doing damage, or stationary for permanent use, as for trapping surplus deer on game preserves or other areas. Further tests are to be made for improving trapping devices during the coming summer in Arizona by a représentative of the Biolggical Survey. On some areas, as on game preserves, deer under Protection have increased beyond the carrying capac- ity of their range, and in other sections, as in parts of New England, free-ranging deer have become pests by browsing in young orchards and thus kill- ing large number of fruit trees. An effective deer trap may help solve some of the problems in game administration on which the Biological Survey is working, for where present in excessive numbers ~ or where doing damage to crops, deer may then be caught and removed to other areas, thus eliminating _the nccessity of killing them and at the same time building up stocks of these interesting animals in _ sections where original stocks have been extermin- anim such as bears, beavers, and other desirable species that sometimes do serious damage locally Ibut could be removed to areas where their presence would not interfere with economic interests but would constitute a valuable wild-life asset, furnishing opportunity for hunting or other recreation. “Juneau” is becoming a favorite name for air- planes. Not only is the Alaska and Washington Airways seaplane with which Pilot Eckmann is dem- onstrating both the practicability and feasibility of air navigation in Southeast Alaska named Juneau, but the Naval aerial fleet that is here to make photograhic maps of the country contains a Juneau. The interview given The Empire by James H. | Cameron’ regarding the certainty of the establish- ment of pulp and paper mills on Gastineau Chan- nel was not hard to read in Juneau. Notwithstanding long years of staid behavior Gov. Parks has at last earned a reputation as a high- flyer. The New Governor General in Manila. (New York World.) The White House announcement that Dwight F. Davis has been offered the Governor Generalship of the Philippines is well received by Filipino spokes- men. Mr. Davis was an efficient Cabinet officer | whose experience gives him some special qualifca- tions. For more than three years, as Secretary of War, he had supervision of the administration of the Philippines, Porto Rico and the Canal Zone. He took office when Governor General Wood was in hot water in Manila, and he watched at close range the work of Governor General Stimson last year in winning back the confidence of the Fili- pino leaders and people. The requisities for success in dealing with such a people as the Filipinos have been strikingly dem- onstrated by Colonel Stimson in Nicaragua and Philippines and by Ambassador Morrow in Mexico. Ability, energy and character all count, but they by no means count for everything, for General Wood had them and he failed. Tact is indispensable, and something more than tact. What is needed is the inborn spirit of a man who is not merely polite, not merely diplomatic and benevolent, but who is fundamentally lacking in snobbishness. The slight- est trace of snobbery in any of its varied forms— intellectual, official, racial, social—is fatal. The Filipinos, like the Latin-Americans, are a proud and| self-respecting people, with good reason for pride and self-respect. Their instinct teaches them to! distinguish a snob at the twelve-mile limit. The Wet Atlantic. (Cincinnat! Enquirer.) It is probably safe to say that more liquor is consumed per capita on the North Atlantic than in any similar area in the world. Strange as it may seem, ocean-going voyagers, with water all around them, are still the most thirsty of mortals. Whoever has stood at the crowded bar of a trans- atlantic liner, twelve miles out of New York, will know how the Great Thirst rises up like a ghost from the deep and melts away the stocks of bourbon and cognac, champagne and curacao, piled high in the hold of the liner. Given this insatiable demand, the action of the Chapman lines in supplying liquors on the Leviathan was almost inevitable. American merchant ships are supposedly ruled by American law until they reach the territorial waters of foreign States, but in this matter it is the competition of French, Ger- man and English lines that determines the law. Dryness is too severe a handicap to place upon a struggling merchant marine that we are trying to nurse into full-grown manhood. To some this change of fare on the Leviathan will be a happy event—to others, anathema. But at least those who deplore the weakening of the moral fiber of American shipping companies can take refuge in the fact that it is a part of the price we must pay for our long-sought merchant marine under the American flag. The English Dreyfus Case. (Manchester Guardian.) Dreyfus was a Jew and a Lieutenant in the French Army. He was charged with espionage in the interest of a foreign government, condemned, and sent to Devil's Island, and it took years of agitation and all the genius and resolution of the great Zola to pracure the reversal of the sentence and his tardy acquittal and release. Miss Douglas- Pennant is a person bf social distinction, with a high record of public service, and she has suffered no legal penalty. But her case is parallel with that of Dreyfus, first in the fact that she was during the war unjustly dismissed from her post as a public servant and that years have passed and she is still vainly seeking for redress. Her case indeed is in one respect worse than that of the unfortunate Dreyfus, for, having never been told of what offense she was accused, she has never had the opportunity of rebutting it. It seems incredible that this should be the case in a country which prides itself above all on its sense of fair play and of justice to the individual. Yet it is the truth. There was an inquiry in the House of Lords, but was so conducted that the charge was never stated. Miss Douglas-Pennant demands Justice, and will continue to demand it till it is granted. We publish today a letter signed by some of the most distinguished names in the country supporting her claim. Justice cannot be permanently denied. The case is too clear, the slur on the reputation of the House of Lords too great, for persistence in this denial.
