ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE BRITISH WAY AND OUR WAY. Americans sometimes talk a lot about the lack of speed in making and accepting changes in Great Britain, and do a good deal of boasting about the contrast between the ways of that country and our progressive habit of quick changes. In some things that may be true but in others it is not. Less than two months ago Premier Stanley Baldwin was but- tressed in office by a majority in the Commons that seemed unsurmountable. The indications were that the Conservative Party would remain in power for many years. In the few weeks that have elapsed | since then an election was called, the British peo- cvemng _except Sunday by the| Pt 0 Award with contemptious references to Mr. Hearst, as this famous bunch of Methodist preachers did, | simply served to show up the sort of propaganda campaign the infamous Board of Temperance, Pro- hibition and Public Morals is urging. And it is barely possible that Sir Esme just o | decided that he would take pot luck with Americans fand get his liquor from bootleggers. | That deficit predicted by Secretary Mellon turned out to be a $185,000,000 surplus. That has occurred many times during the Mellon Administration. The Secretary of the Treasury is a persistent predicter of deficits and the United States is a prolific producer of prodigious surpluses vision of the future by wide-awake Alaskans who have been up and down the Territory, and Mr. Sawyer has not only been up and down the areas of Alaska but he has been up and over the Territory where the horizon permits a wide sweep. Greater Annual Increase in Copper Consumption Probable. (Engineering and Mining World.) An analyst, basing his conclusion on a study of statistics for the period of 1911-1928, recently made the deduction that a continuation of the 6 per cent. cumulative per annum increase in the domestic and world consumption of copper seemed justified. This prediction would seem conservative, not only be- cause of the sustained increased demand in the first quarter of this year on the part of consumers of large quantities of the metal, but also owing to the new and wider fields of application for copper that are being developed. Electrification of steam railroad lines, which has required so far only comparatively small quan- tities of copper, should expand substantially in the near future; according to present indications, will continue at an increased rate; the aviation industry, heretofore almost a negligible factor, will become a consumer of considerable quantities of copper; and the energy output of public-utility plants, which has increased 10 per cent. annually in the United States in the last few years, will undoubtedly continue to increase at this or a greater rate, and will consequently re- ple conducted one of the most strenuous campaigns | quire increasing amounts of manufactured copper in their history, held the election and installed the | new Labor Government. It took less than two weeks after the election for the new Premier MacDonald | to have his ministry inaugurated and at work. And, as said, it had been less than two months after the election had been decided upon. In the United States it takes a year or more to change administrations. First we have the State conventions for the selections of delegates to the National conventions. These continue over a period of several months. Then the candidates are nom- inated for President and Vice-President and there follows a five months' campaign for the election. The election over there comes another four-months’ period before the new government is actually at work. We may be faster in devloping industrial and business methods than the British, but their gov- ernment is much more responsive to public senti- ment than the American. SOME METHODIST PREACHERS AND THE HOYT PROHIBITION SOLUTION. Of course the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals must ridicule the Hearst $25,000 award for the best plan to settle the troubles arising out of Prohibition. It refers to it as the whim of a man who has more money than he knows what to do with. These famous divines from whom fair discus- sion ought to be expected do not say a word about the author of the plan or those who approved it or| the manner of its selection for the first prize. The plan was written by Presiding Judge Franklin Chase Hoyt of the Children’s Court, New York City, a grandson of Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury in Lincoln's Cabinet and Chief Jus- tice of the United States through appointment from President Lincoln. Justice Hoyt is a noted authority on children’s welfare legislation, etc., and a famed humanitarian and sociologist. He was the author of the Children’s Court over which he presides. He holds several college degrees, is fifty-three years of age, the father of three daughters, a lawyer and a Republican. The Judges who awarded the $25,000 to Justice Hoyt were: Former United States Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, famous lawyer and orator. Representative James M. Beck of Pennsylvania, formerly Solicitor-General of the United States, and known as one of-the greatest constitutional lawyers in America. Representative Florence P. Kahn of California, widow of the late Julian Kahn, who was in Congress for twenty-five years. The Rt. Rev. Monsignor John L. Belford, New York, distinguished churchman, progressive and civic leader, representing the Catholic faith. Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson of Washington, D. C, retired naval officer, eminent medical author- ity and physician to President Wilson. The Rev. Dr. Nathan Krass, one of the most noted and scholarly clerics of Judaism, pastor of the Temple Emanuel, Fifth Avenue, New York, rep- resenting the Jewish faith. Archdeacon Joseph H. Dodshon, noted clergy- man of the Protestant Episcopal faith, lecturer, and President of the Church Temperance Society, who has made a ten-year scientific studyy of temperance problems. Justice Hoyt's plan is for Congress to repeal the Volstead Act and substitute a law defining “in- toxicating liquors” as “all alcoholic products of dis- tillation.” And, he continues, let the law “ban the manufacture, sale and transportation of such prod- ucts throughout the country, except for commercial and medicinal purposes, but at the same time let it permit each State to regulate and control the manufacture and sale of all malt, brewed and fer- mented beverages within its own borders.” Neither Mr. Hearst nor any of his employees or those of any of his publications were present when the award was made. None of them had read the Hoyt plan until after it had been awarded the prize. The award was unanimously made except that Congressman Beck said he was fearful that the Su- preme Court would hold the law unconstitutional. Justice Hoyt discussed that point, and he believed that the highest court would uphold his plan. Under the cirecumstances, to dismiss the Hoyt developed recently in England in connection with a new method for heating buildings. In this method an electric element inside of copper tubing placed along the wainscoting of a room evenly distributes heat, the temperature of the room being controlled automatically by a thermostat, according to indi- vidual needs. Radiation of the heat by the copper provides an almost immediate source of heat as soon as the current supplying the electric element is turned on, and as effective a cessation of heat as soon as the flow of current is stopped. The recent application of copper tubing for water connections from street mains to buildings opens another new and wide field for the metal. Included among the advantages that copper can claim justly in this instance are: It can be bent without injury and is notably resistant to cor- rosion; joints can be made without threading; it has ample strength to withstand the water pres- sures employed; and coils of the tubing are light in weight and easily carried by one man, who can complete an installation without assistance. = Addi- tional news and apparently important outlets for copper in the near future are copper-bearing steels and copper heating radiators. Those most concerned with the increased use of copper—the copper min- ing companies—might well use more copper and brass piping in place of a cheaper alternative that corrodes, causing delay for replacement and high initial and operating expense. In brief, therefore, the demand for copper seems likely not only to be sustained at its recent annual rate of increase, but also to reach a new high rate in the next few and succeeding years. Diving Into Publicity. (Anchorage Times.) That Olympia diving official who is trying to keep his treasure quest under cover, made a serious mistake yesterday when he permitted his Olympia friends to talk of court action as a means of pre- venting further discussion of the work which the diving company is doing -at the scene of the Islander wreck near Juneau. The very best way to get pub- licity is to try to avoid it and it is very doubtful if the diving officials will be able to find grounds upon which to base a legal complaint against those who dare to discuss the project. The chances are that the newspapers of the Gastineau Channel dis- trict will find a lot to talk about now that they have been challenged, and their readers will be disappointed if they are not kept posted on any future developments. The presence of the divers was not unknown to Alaskans nor was the offending Juneau report the first mention made by the Alaska press of the ac- tivities of the company. The divers were “discov- ered” when they first arrived in Alaska water aboard their Seattle tug and their arival was heralded to the world by the Ketchikan Chronicle when they reached the First City. It was not possible to keep the coming of the expedition secret and it will be harder still to keep the progress of the work under cover now that threats are being employed to pre- vent publicity. The news story would have been forgotten speedily but for the importance given it by spokesmen for the divers at Olympia. “If only she never becomes acquainted with a State Prohibition Agent!” exclaimed the worried mother of a nice but rather gay sixteen-year-old girl of this neighborhood yesterday, and it sounded like a prayer.—(Ohio State Journal.)
