The Alaska brown bears have claimed another vietim—this time an exceptionally shining mark. A fine, up-standing young man, of college training and useful experience, was employed in his pro- fessional capacity in the development of the pro- posed new pulp and paper industry in Alaska. He was working with trained mind and body in the hills and valleys of Admiralty Island, right at Juenau's door way, when he was attacked by a bear and in fewer minutes than it takes to write these few lines he was torn and lascerated and painfully yielding his young life blood. He died within a few hours after the ferocious animal had attacked him. Jack Thayer was a large asset in the develop- ment- of Alaska. He was of the sort of young men that must carry into execution the plans of those who would make Alaska grow and prosper. He was the pride of his parents and idol of a charming girl to whom he was engaged. . Yet if he were the only man that brown bears had killed, we should say it was simply too bad. If there was not a con- stant fear that others will go the way he went, we should not ask that brown bear be exterminated in the | parts of Alaska where men are engaged in the industries and the settlement of the country. The brown bears serve no good purpose. They are es- sentially killers. It is bad enough to have them destroy game animals and salmon. It is too much when they turn their attention to people upon whom we must depend for he development of | Alaska. It may be that there are places in Alaska where bears ought to be protected for the pleasure of sportsmen. Whether that is so or not, Southeast Alaska is not one of those places. We have too much to do to make room for settlers and indus- trial workers to permit this menace to hang over us. The brown bears in the First Division ought to be exterminated—and the extermination work ought to begin at once. STRAWBERRY CROP IN COLD i - STORAGE. More than 100,000 barrels of strawberries were packed by the “cold-pack” or “frozen- pack” method in 1928, according to George M. Darrow, senator pomologist of the United States Department of Ag- riculture. This amount is the equivalent of 4,000 to 5,000 carloads of fresh berries in crates, he says. Handling strawberries in this way is the out- standing development of the industry in recent years, Mr. Darrow says. The fresh berries are packed in 50-gallon barrels, usually with 1 part sugar to 2 or 3 parts berries, and placed in storage at a temperature below freezing. Packed in this way they are like fresh berries when ready for use. Preservers have found that a better preserve can be made from cold-packed -berries than berries fresh from the field Also because preserved - berries deteriorate after 4 time, cold packing and storage offer a remedy for this difficulty by making it possible to put up preserves as they are needed. Furthermore, the breservers can utilize their preserving plant the year through instead of for a brief period of a few weeks at the strawberry season. A still newer development, Mr. Darrow says, is the cold packing and storage of both strawberries and raspberries in small contalners for home use. Several million packages were handled by the cold- pack method this year 4 INVESTIGATE THESE LOBBIES. While Senator Caraway’s lobby investigating committee is about it why would it not be a good plan for it to look into the lobbies of the Anti- Saloon League and the Methodist Episcopal Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals? They have regular organizations with headquarters near the Capitol. And the Anti-Saloon League, at least, has spent more money on legislation and politics than any other organization, political or other- wise, during the last score or so of years., The methods and ethics of both of these organizations have been' very severely criticized. They ought to be investigated. LA GUARDIA EXTOLS GOV. SMITH’S VIRTUES. Republican - Fusion Candidate La Guardia for Mayor of New York announced the other day that if he is elected to be Mayor of New York the first thing he will ask for will be authority to appoint a mnonpartisan commission to work out a plan for the reorganization of New York's government, and, he declared, that if he got it he would name former Gov. Alfred E. Smith to head the commission Justifying his purpose to select a Democrat for that important task he said that it was Gov. Smith himself that recommended Charles Evans Hughes, 2 Republican, to be chairman of a similar commis- reduced it once. Every time @ reduction has been Irecommended by the Commissfon the recommenda- tion has been disregarded. This contention is be on a statpment given out by Senator cording to ‘the New York Warld.)

Honoring Hamilton’s Successor. (New York Times.) The fund with which a statue of Albert Gal- |latin is to be erected in front of the Treasury at Washington lacks about $40,000 of completion. As soon as the public understands the peculiar appro- priateness of the plan the money should be quick- ly forthcoming. Congress has already allotted $10,- 000 and $12,000 has come from public sources. Re- publicans as well as Democrats, whose political an- cestor Gallatin was, have joined the movement to place side by side in front of the Treasury the pioneer financiers, both of whose bodies lie in | Trinity churchyard.

Hamilton was the first of the great Secretaries and Gallatin's repute is the less because he fol- lowed so titanic a figure. In his own party Gal- latin was overshadowed by his chief, Thomas Jef- ferson, while after Washington’s retirement ther: was no Federalist to obscure the shining fame of Hamilton. But financiers and students of currency questions agree that Gallatin played a very great |part in laying the fiscal foundations of America. ‘His long service in the Treasury makes it fit to jerect a statue to him there. —_—— | 10,000 Lives; $472,000,000 Loss. (New York World.) The fire loss of 1928 is estimated in money as $472,000,000; in human lives, 10,000. The money | loss would have built the Panama Canal, including all defense cost, with $100,000,000 to spare. Of the | lives lost second only to the automobile death list—lives lost in inconceivable torture—9,000 were squandered in preventable fires. Under proclama- | tion of President Hoover this is Fire Prevention Week, to be devoted to promoting means of saving | lives and property. l The six great causes of fires, in order of im- | portance, are careless handling of matches, cigars | and cigarettes; defective chimneys and flues; de- | fective heating apparatus; sparks on roofs; spon- | taneous ignition, and carelessness with electrical apparatus. Except in some of the cases of spon- | taneous ignition these are all preventable things. The same is true of most of the minor causes, forest fires set by lightning being a notable ex- ception. And we Manhattan, are not gaining much on fires. In Bronx and Richmond last year there were 14,145 fires, an increase of 515 over 1927, There were eighty-four lives lost, most of them in tenement houses. The money loss, without any signal conflagration, was one-third as great as was | suffered in 1835 in the great historic blaze that de- stroyed the business section of the city. The. na- tional loss was nearly three times as great as that of the Chicago fire, the most destructive in his- tory. Most fires can be prevented by common-sense measures which practically every adult knows, This will be a good week to look into the matter of fire safety; the defective furnace, the outworn elec- trical apparatus, the explosive cleaning fluid. Four hundred millions, 9,000 lives, are worth saving. Cor- rect the causes; the saving will follow. o R The Nicaraguan Canal and International Goodwill.

By the Hay-Pauncefort treaty of 1901, the United States agreed that the Panama Canal should be open to all nations of the world on equal terms. Congress considered the document as a “scrap of paper” in 1911, when the Panama Canal Act was passed, which provided for exemption from tolls for American intercoastal shipping—a violation that Was corrected by President Wilson in 1914, who repealed the Act. ? Assume the construction of the new Nicaraguan canal. Toll rates may be adjusted and probably will be adjusted to favor American shipping: the various treaties refer to “the canal,” subsequently known as the Panama Canala, not to “the canal Or canals.” American shipping will therefore pat- ronize the Nicaraguan route, The Panama Canal will still be evailable “for the use of all nations on €qual terms” But if Con- 8ress, acting with the same irresponsible- spirit that led to the passage of the Panama Canal Act of 1911, decides to raise the tolls above those levied for American shipping using the Nicaraguan canal, the letter -of the Hay-Pauceforte treaty will still be observed, but an interesting international situation will develop.
