ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED. TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. | | | | | VISITING CONGRESSMEN AGAIN. Another bunch of Congressmen is to tour Alaska to gain first hand knowledge of the Territory to guide them in their work at Washington. It is well. Let | them come, and let them be followed by other and} larger delegations of the National legislators. It is true that it is sometimes hard to distinguish large results from the frequent visits of Senators and Representatives during the past. Some of those who have come even learned so many things that were not true that they were hurtful rather than helpful. They saw so many trees that they failed to .discern the forest. However, in the main mns:v: visits have been far more beneficial than baneful.| Many of the Government activities in the North| have been made more useful through larger appro-| priations that are directly traceable to visits Irum} National lawmakers and other distinguished official! visitors, The movement to give Canada large slices of Alaska, including Skagway, was blocked largely through the visit of Senator Fairbanks and others in 1898. Shortly after that visit came Alaska Senatorial visits from Senator Mason and Senator Dietrich, each of whom came alone, and the party consisting of Senators Dillingham, Nelson, Patterson and Burn- ham and two large parties of Representatives in Congress, one of them containing Speaker Cannon and Appropriations Committee Chairman Tawney and many other members. These visits aided us in getting a Delegate to Cong And so it has been. Senato and Representatives who have visited Al- aska have, generally speaking, gone back to Wash- ington with the will to do well for the people of the Territory, and they have been easily persuaded to aid in the passage of legislation that the times seemed to demand. All things considered experience suggests that we ought to encourage visits from Senators and‘ Representatives and other high officials. Let us give them all good times, tell them all we can about the Territory and the need of the hour and trust to luck and the law of averages. | LIVING PERFORMERS IN THE FLESH STILL POPULAR. Municipal Opera, St. Louis’s non-profit civic en- outdoor Municipal Theatre, is feeling the effect of the “talkies”—a decidedly favorable effect. The first three weeks of the 1929 cycle of twelve | open air operettas in Forest Park showed a remark- able increase in attendance over the same period in any one of the opera's ten previous seasons.i It was in the sale of medium-priced seats, entering directly into competition with motion picture the- atres, that the large increase was noticed. Municipal e — Opera officials have reached the conclusion that the cinema, by training audiences on moving shadows and synthetic sound, has created a new audience {which looks for living actors and living sound. Two railroad accidents in a single day is a reminder that we still have railroads. The multi- tude of wrecks in other modes of transportation had almost caused us to forget the old iron trails. i For the third time Nome is to be one of the | termini of an airplane flight from the East to the Far North. The flight will start within a few Iduys. | “Call Out the Marines.” (New York World.) In an article published in the current issue of Collier's Weekly Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Gen- eral Secretary of the Methodist Board of Temper- ance, Prohibition and- Public Morals, confesses that |“no one dares to claim that prohibition enforcement has been satisfactory.” It has been so far from satisfactory, in fact, “that we must amend the law lto nave adequate pains and penalties as sanctions lof the law.” Congress is under moral obligation, |Dr. Wilson thinks, to provide these pains and pen- alties. For “the putting of the fear of God in the minds of those who fear neither God nor man is one of the chief functions of good government.” Ac- cordingly, as appropriate measures to providé the fear of God, Dr. Wilson recommends the following: 1. “A few marines in Baltimore and New York City would have the same wholesome effect that soldiers had in those two towns sixty-five years ago.” 2. “The next change in our Prohibition Law must make the first offense involve a prison sentence.” 3. “Another change in the law must provide that we shall punish the buyer as well as the seller of bootleg liquor.” 4. “We must not admit any foreigners who come to violate American law; upon conviction we must send them back to their own lands.” Bayonets, prison sentences, penalties, more pen- alties and deportation; to such a pass have the friends of prohibition come ten years after the €&- actment of a law which was to introduce a better social order. “Call Out the Marines” is the title of Dr. Wilson's article. It is an appropriate title. This is the counsel of desperation. Dictatorship in Venezuela. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) For quite some decades General Juan Vicente Gomez has been the Dictator of Venezuela. During his reign there has been in progress of a sort. Com- merce has been permitted to develop, and the for- eign trade of Venezuela has come to be quite pros- perous. But the rights of citizens, whatever that phrase means in this modern age, have been com- pletely lost. As in most countries, in the same stage of development, there are but two factors about which to organize the effective power of the State, namely the land owners and the clergy. Working through these two elements of the Nation, Gomez has built up a “party machine” of some 10,000 troops under arms, most of which put in their free hours on Gomez's haciendas, cultivating bananas or coffee. With the approach of the elections, which take place every seven years, in form at least, the coun- try has been turned upside down By military revolts and general disorders. So it comes as something of a surprise that President Gomez has turned the reins of government over to the Supreme Court, in accordance with the provision of tHe constitution. The latter body has chosen one of their number to act as Provisional President until a permanent President can be chosen. Perhaps Venezuela will have an orderly election for once in its history. But Gomez must not be forgotten. After many years of absolute power he is not likely to yield the privileges of a modern Louis XIV. so readily.
