ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. UNDERSTATING FACTS. Ernest Walker Sawyer, Executive Assistant to the Sec: y of the Interior, was given a lot of space for ska publicity when he passed through | Los Angeles on his way to Washington. The Times gave him a six-column spread on the first page of one of the sections of its Sunday edition of July 21, It contained two maps and five photographs. The latter included interior farms, a Navy plane on a survey flight and a group of moose. It was all very fine, and the accompanying article is re- printed in The Empire. i One bull in the article note, however.. Mr. Sawyer is quoted as saying: - Within the past month a flyer hopped off from Seattle to Alaska in a single day. While the trip from Seattle to Alaska was a trial trip and not a part of a regu- lar schedule is demonstrates once the de- is worthy of special mand is established, Alaska will be only two days a’ from Los Angeles. Mr. Sawyer very much understated the facts. This year prior to the date given, July 21, there had been dozens of passenegrs to make the air flight between Seattle and Alaska in a single day. Many of them had made the trip up or down between Ketchikan and Seattle in a single day and several had made it in one day between Seattle and Juneau. It is not an unusual performance at all. It has been done so often in ggod weather and bad that the practicability -of one-day flights between Juneau and Seattle has been thoroughly ablished NOTABLE EVENT IN WORLD JOURNALISM. Usually it is not important outside of the staff of a newspaper when an editor resigns to be succeeded by one who has been his assistant for many years. Interest in such an event usually is confined to the readers of the newspaper. That is not the case, however, with Charles Prestwich Scott, who has just resigned from the editorship of the Manchester Guardian, which he has held for 57 years, and been succeeded by his son, E. T. Scott. It is a subject of comment throughout the world. The Guardian is probably the most popular news- paper in the world, and most influential. It is more than a newspaper; it is an institution, and has been one almost from the beginning of its interesting and powerful carcer. For many years, almost one might say from the time of his becoming its editor, the Guardian was C. P. Scott. His personality dominated it in every department. His convictions were its convictions—it never deviated a hair-breadth from what C. P. thought. The paper was almost ruined financially because Scott did not believe in the Boer War and the Guardian refused to support it. But, recently said, only Darwin, Gladstone and the Guardian in England have ever emerged from periods of unpopularity that amounted to hatred to win the affectionate regard and esteem as well as the confidence and respect of the whole people, those who supported and those who opposed the causes advocated. The Guardian's has been the clearest and most persistent voice of international liberalism and toler- ance through the generations. It was established in 1821 by John Edward Taylor, stout champion and literary guide for Liberalism, when Cobden, Bright, Villiers, Rawson, George Wilson and others were fighting for free trade in England and organ- izing the great Liberal Party. In the 128 years that have followed its torch has been taken up by a younger member of the family when an older died. For only thirteen years—1848 to 1861—was the Guardian's guide other than a Taylor or a Scott. The founder of the Guardian remained as editor as someone for 23 years—dying in 1844. For the next four years b on, Russell Scott Taylor, was editor. Then came Jeremiah Garnett, who reigned until 1861, when the second John Edward Taylor, brother of Russell and younger son of the first John Edward, became editor and continued until 1872 when he was succeeded by C. P. Scott, another member of the family. When the second John Edward Taylor died in 1905, Scott became sole owner of the Guard- ian as well as its editor. Garnett, the only Guardian editor who was not a Taylor or Scott, began life as a printer on the Guardian. He quit the me- chanical department to become a reporter and then an editorial writer and editor. The Manchester Guardian in its long career has been identified with the fight for most of Eng- Jand's greatest reforms. It led in the contest for the repeal of the corn laws, for granting Catholics the right to sit in Parliament and hold Cabinet posi- tions, for the same rights for the Jews, for home rule for Ireland. It is now battling for permanent peace. It has always supported the Liberal Party. It was a devoted follower of Gladstone, Campbell- ‘Bannerman and Asquith, and is supporting the lead- It believes there ought to be a union of the Liberal and Labor parties with the broad principles of Liberalism as a basis. The New York World says the Guardian and its history present the “noblest journalistic tradition |in the English-speaking world.” May C. P. Scott add many happy years to the 83 that he has lived and may his son, Edward | Taylor Scott, who for years has been one of his chief editorial writers, live long and carry on the Scott preceptss He is a man of marked ability, high education and culture, and stanch integrity of char- acter. He is a worthy successor of the great Guardian editors. He is 45 and will be active |for nearly two score years if he duplicates his falh(‘l"s record. If we should have another President Roosevelt in the not distant future he would be a lot differ- ent from the previous President Roosevelt in every- thing except popularity. Franklin has a person- ality that makes friends and supporters—one that appeals to the educated class as well as the rough- neck mass If all those who are planning to fly over the Pacific persist and are successful they will be almost as numerous as the girl Channel swimmers. Great Editor Retires. (New York World.) Mr. C. P. Scott has retired after fifty-seven years as editor of the “Manchester Guardian.” The con- trol of the paper is undisturbed, for his son becomes the editor and he himself remains as managing director. There is every reason to trust that the noblest journalistic tradition in the English-speaking world will continue unbroken. C. P. Scott made the “Manchester Guardian” a standard of journalistic honor, and for that reason its influence on the newspaper profession has been incalculable. By daily example it has affirmed the faith of C. P. Scott that the task of an editor is to understand the other man, but none the less to continue saying what he believes. In the “Guard- ian” opinion has never been regarded as merchan- dise and the truth, as C. P. Scott saw it, has been printed in fair weather and in foul. The “Guardian,” though it has remained onal to the Liberal minority, though again and again it has championed the outeast, the despised, and the hated, is surely the best liked newspaper of all in England. The secret of this paradox is not dif- ficult to fathom. In 57 years C. P. Scott has estab- lished the conviction that no peint of view will be denied a hearing in his pages and that to every point of view an editor owes the duty of courteous sympathy. The “Guardian” is in the literal sense of the word magnanimous. In its long controversial history, whether it won or whether it lost, it has secreted none of the poisons of pettiness; in its intention, in the mastering purpose which animated it, it has spoken more often than any other organ of opinion the ultimate mind of the British people. Trend of Pulp Industry. (Anchorage Times.) Washington today is fourth among the 48 States in the production of wood pulp and pulpwood. The phrases sound alike, but are not the same. Pulp- wood is the timber from which wood pulp is made. Washington last year produced 561,657 cords of the former and 349,107 tons of the latter, both rep- resenting increases over 1927. The industry # comparatively new in Wash- ington. It has reached its economic peak in the States that lead—Maine, Wisconsin and New York.! These may be expected to show decreases in the future, while Washington is destined to increase. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer discovers that of the 7,160,100 cords of pulpwood consumed last year, almost 5,000,000 cords were of spruce, hemlock, slabs and mill waste, materials which abound in the Pacific Northwest to a greater extent than in any other part of the country. In 1928, pulpwood consumption throughout the Nation increased 6.1 per cent. over 1927 and the increase .in wood pulp was 4.6 per cent. In 1928, the production of paper and paper boards showed an increase of 4 per cent. It is a mere matter of arithmetic, then, to dem- onstrate that as the Eastern States fall off in production and the demand for paper continues to increase, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska will be called upon to furnish the future supply. Looking Northward. (Prince Rupert Empire.) There has never been a time when the trend of investment and industry in Canada has been more toward the North, than now. People are breaking away from the tradition that the North means barren lands, and cold. They are doing it, because they know better. The North is being gradually discovered as a vast treasure house. It is possibly not doing an injustice to suggest that in the past, there has been propaganda invented to perpetuate an entirely false impression, for the benefit of other parts of the Dominion. Everything Grows. (Seward Gateway.) They say that the muskrat, beaver, deer and elk that were planted on the Westward islands are in- creasing rapidly. That goes for all but the elk which were youngsters when brought up there last summer from the Olympic Mountains of ‘Washing- ton. They are in fine condition it is reported, and haven't had time to reproduce. It should not be long now before the Game Commission will introduce pheasants and partridges because apparently any- t::ng will grow there including children and moon- shine.
