SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASIZMAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. SALMON FISHERIES ON SOLID FOUNDATION. With a salmon pack that will probably reach 5,300,000 cases before the season finally closes, in| what was supposed to be an off year, and an escapement to the spawning beds that is said to be ample, it may be taken for granted that the salmon | canning industry in Alaska is in a sound position. | There seems no longer danger that the supply may become exhausted. There may come years when the run will be small. There will probably come such years. We have had them in the past and are likely to have them again. However, when they come they will not be accompanied by a fear that the end of the industry is near. The facts make it quite clear that there will never again be cause for such fear. The conditions that exist make it reasonably plain that regulation has been a good thing. The time had arrived for regulation and it is fortunate that it began when it did. Whether or not there was need for such drastic restrictions as we have had there will be difference of opinion. However, all will agree that the practical termination of cannery expansion and the abolishment of fishing in streams and near their mouths have had a salutary effect. The fact that uncertainty and fear have been succeeded by a fine sense of security is compensation for a lot of annoyance over the en- forcment of drastic regulations. We believe that there is none in Alaska who would have the situa- tion back again where it was before Commis- sioner O'Malley took charge of things, and there are few, indeed, who do not believe Mr. O'Malley is the right man in the right place. FURTHER DECREASE IN NUMBER OF NEWSPAPERS. The reduction of newspapers in the country continues. This is the result of frequent consoli- dations and the rarity of new publications. It is seldom, indeed, that one hears of the establish- ment of a daily newspaper in the United States, while consolidations are being constantly reported. Also we often hear of suspensions where a daily paper is unable to sustain itself and is crowded out. While very few new newspapers are being estab- lished the sale of papers that have been estab- lished is almost a daily ocurrence. The circumstance that those who want newspapers purchase those already established rather then to start new ones is explained by the fact that it costs a lot of money to acquire the equipment, news service and other things now required in the publication of a paper and it costs a lot to operate a paper until it becomes self-supporting. More often than otherwise, the new papers established give up the ghost before they are able to produce the necessary income to sustain themselves. Then the new owner of an established paper acquires a going business from the beginning—a business that would be constantly in competition with a new publication if he started one. The latest consolidation reported is that of the Chicago Daily News and the Chicago Journal. The Journal was the oldest newspaper in Chicago. The News was, and is, one of the best money-makers. Under the terms of the consolidation the Journal moves over to the News's publication and editorial offices and the consolidated papers become “The Chicago Daily News and Chicago.Journal.” { This consolidation leaves Chicago with only three eyening newspapers. There was a time when she had seven. One of the three, the Post, has less than 38,000 circulation and is supported in most part by its financial advertising. There are only two morning newspapers in Chicago. A few years ago there were six. The Journal which goes out of business was the only Democratic paper in Chicago. The consolidated papers, as has always been the case with the News, will be independent. The News, and now the Journal, are published by a company formed from the old editorial and business staff of the News, headed by Walter A. Strong. The company acquired the News after the death of Victor Lawson, who had been the publisher from the date of its founda- tion. THE CHURCHES WERE IN POLITICS. Mrs. Willebrandt declares in so many words that the Hoover managers in the campaign last year openly urged the ministers and congregations of Protestant’ churches to enter the Presidential cam- paign. She says the appeal was made, however, in the name of Prohibition and not to their prejudices, if they had any, against the Catholic Church. The New York World says no matter what the terms in which the appeal was couched it was a direct urge to the Protestant clergy and church membership for votes. In other words the churches | mercifully. e A as to the motives that the preachers and their congregations might take into the fight as long as they became active and delivered the votes. It was a mixing of religion and politics. Those Chicago gunmen are not with the old gunmen of the plains or those the Virginia and Kentucky mountains for marks- manship. They require a lot more ammunition to kill a man. Young Fritz Coudert is getting a lot of adver- tising, at least, out of that District Attorneyship race in New York. He has even received the un- qualified endorsement of his opponent who resigned | a Supreme Court Justimeship to run for the office. Justince Crain must have felt pretty certain of being elected or he would not have resigned a posi- | tion on the bench which pays $22500 a year and then stood sponsor for the character and capability of his opponent. Politics continue to make strange bedfellows. A year ago Senators Robinson and Borah, as the lead- ers on the stump of their respective parties in the Presidential campaign, were flaying each other un- Today they are the joint leaders in an effort to demolish the ,G‘ O. P. tariff bill. The Father of the House. (Manchester Guardian.) It was Victor Hugo who wrote “L'Art d'etre Grand-pere,” a book with a happy title which is equivalent to a book by itself. Mr. T. P. O’'Connor, to whom the deeds were presented the other day of a trust fund which his friends had organized to ensure the comfort of his remaining years, might fittingly write a companion volume, “The Art of Being the Father"—of the House of Commons. The position is one which entails a single but an onerous qualification. TIts holders must have sat continuously in the House of Commons for a good many years, more years, in fact, than any other member. It is ceonceivable but improbable that a man could retain the confidence of a constituency, or a series of con- stituencies, for such a length of time—in Mr. O'Con- nor's case it is one year short of half a century— without possession at least likeable qualities. It is scarcely more probable that he could fail to have distinctive characteristics of his own. His char- acter and his political opinions compelled him to be aggressive in his -earlier days, in Parliament, but time has mellowed Mr. O'Connor, always a very human type of politician, and time has re- moved the causes of his earlier discontents. He en- tered Parliament virtually a rebel against Eng- land’s rule of his country. He has lived to see his country entirely free from England’s rule, save for one comparatively small area of it, the mate reunion of which with the rest of the coun- try is as certain as anything in this life can be. All parties in Parliament, therefore, now regard Mr. O'Connor with no other feelings than affection, and he, an enthusiast of Parliamentary institu- tions, reciprocates that affection. It is a happy father of whom such words can be written. Making Good. (Anchorage Times.) United States Attorney Hart, whose nomination the Senate failed to confirm earlier in the year because of opposition which developed at Wash- ington and who later was given a special appoint- ment by the District Judge at Nome in order that the Government might be represented at the regular term of court now in session, appears to merit the confidence which the President placed in him when his name was placed in nomination. He is making good. It will be recalled by readers of The Times that Hart was called to Nome from Juneau, where he was engaged in the practice of law. When his special appointment was made the regular term of the Seward Peninsula Court was about to convene and in order to reach Nome in time it was neces- sary for Hart to hasten to Fairbanks by steamer and train and fly from there to his destination. There was little time for preparation of pending | cases and when the major court action was called, the trial of a murder case, the youthful United States Attorney found arrayed against him three veterans of the Seward Peninsula Bar, Ira D. Orton, O. D. Cochran and Hugh O'Neill, The Times is not familiar with the details of the case but the fact that Hart was able to ob- tain a conviction in a first. degree murder action, with such legal talent opposing him, would seem to indicate that he possesses considerable ability as a prosecutor as well as an enviable reputation as a citizen in his home town of Juneau. Perhaps it will not be so easy for his opponents to prevent his confirmation when his name is again sent to the Senate for consideration, R S . Alaska Mourns. (Seward Gateway.) All Alaska is saddened to hear of the fatal crash of Miss Marvel Crosson, while engaged in a women'’s transcontinental air derby. Miss Crosson, sister of Joe Crosson, Fairbanks pilot, had made many flights in the Interior and was Alaska’s only aviatrix. At one time she was engaged in carrying mail by plane to remote parts of the Territory. Miss Crosson was the finest type of woman, and a girl of wonderful character; a charming, lovable personality, one could not help but be st tracted to the brave pilot, who was one of Am- erica’s foremost women aviators. Not only her legion of friends in Alaska but throughout the United States, her flying “West” to the Vahalla of air Vikings, will be sincerely mourned, e S e When our friends, the Congressmen, return home they will be able to relate in all truthful- ness of the great Alaska valleys of rich and pro- ductive soil along th Alaska Railroad belt, Alaska’s possibilities are not known even to Alaskans, be- cause of their immensity and diversity.

ALan J.GouLp Just about 20 years ago, Joe Mc- Carthy was a fair to middlin’ in- fielder around the American As- sociation while Connie Mack was winning American League pennants and world’s championships. At the same time, this writer happened to | be the batboy for the Toledo Mud- | hens, then managed by Socks Sey- |bold, one-time clouter with the Old | Athletics. I sat in McCarthy's hotel room recently, faning about those days when genial Joe had little if any |thought of becoming a major | league manager, much less the pilot of the prospective National League champions of 1929 under the mil- lion-dollar Wrigley banner. “Funny, isn't it, how things turn about?” said Joe. have ‘figured the chance that I | would some day be leading a team against Connie Mack in the world’s | series? Connie was the old master to most of us then and he still is — one of the grandest men in | baseball.” McCarthy, sharing the supersti- like to talk about the world’s series until all mathematical doubts are |removed about the outcome of a |pennant race. While the Cubs were steaming along, piling up a big lead through August, discussion |of what the players might do with | their “cut” in the big money was strictly taboo. The Chicago manager knows lquite a bit about the As, | though he hasn’t had contacts with |them in recent seasons. McCarthy |managed the Louisville club of the | American Association when it play- ed in the little world’s series against the Baltimore club that had Bishou, Boley, Grove and oth- |ers now on the A’s payroll. | Grover Cleveland Alexander, it |seems, could not resist the temp- tation to celebrate his 373rd vic- {tory and the new National League }rccord it gave him. | “Old Pete” was sold down the {river . to St. Louis by the Cubs| three years ago because he kicked | the orders of Joe McCarthy, then | just taking hold of the Chicago team. Alex was a bi; factor in the sub- | sequent succe: of the Cardinals ibut there was the celebrated in- |stance of his detour off the main road with Flint Rhem, the Caro- |lina flinger. Rehm, when called to account, insisted he felt obligated to consume Alexander's share of the refreshments to keep the vet- eran from imbibing too freely. There’s no secret, apparently, to the big success of Guy Bush on the mound for the Cubs this year. “No, he hasn’t any wrinkle ball, or slide ball or radio ball,” said | Joe MscCarthy, “but he's got a fast one, slow one and a good curve. Isn’'t that enough?” — .- MINNIE FIELD'S BUOTH Minnie Fields wishes to announce that she will be at' the FAIR— same old place, same good eats. | “FAMOUS” sandwiches and HOT DOGS.
