TROY - - - EDITOR AND MANAGER n SYNTHETIC HOT DOGS. It is reported on good authority that a scientist THE EMPIRE'S NEWS SERVICE. In his speech at ine Palace Theatre Wednesday evening, Judge Wickersham waxed facetious in re- spect to The Empire's coverage of certain speeches delivered by Attorney General John Rustgard. Any- one familiar with Alaskan history in the past 17 years is aware of Wickersham's attitude toward The Empire and of the view this publication entertains relative to his representation of Alaska in Congress. That is an old story, one which has been told often by both sides and need not be related here again. Apparently he saw something in the manner in which The Empire covered the Rustgard speeches delivered at Petersburg, Wrangell, Ketchi- kan and Hydaburg. How, he demanded, could a ech delivered at Klawock appear in The Empire the same day it was delivered? It didn’t, even though it could have. Possibly he had reference to the Hydaburg speech of Mr. Rustgard. The ex- planation is, of course, simple. Manuscript abstracts of the addresses for each place, in form suitable for a news article on each one, were delivered to The Empire with definite release dates, with .lhe request, if the subject matter covered was suf- ficiently timely and of enough public interest, that they be printed as news. It was the judgment of the management that they were timely. As a mat- ter of fact, these speeches constitute a very splendid set of campaign documents that deserve careful consideration by all Alaskans regardless of party All of them, except the Hydaburg address, appeared on the proper release dates. As to the speech at Hydaburg, The Empire probably owes Mr. Rustgard an explanation. It should have appeared in The Empire on April 16, but owing to unpreventable circumstances it was not possible to publish it until the day following. Judge Wickersham, of course, is not ignorant of the news practice of accumulating advance stories on events to come. Thus, each year the President of the United States prepares his message to the Congress well in advance and delivers to news agencies, correspondents, etc., copies to be distributed throughout the country to newspapers for publication on a date to be released by telegraph. Reports of departmental executives and others, set speeches on all sorts of occasions, in fact everything that pos- sibly can be covered ahead of time, is handled in such fashion. This is done with advantage to both newspapers and those the events affect, giving the former opportunity to prepare for the story, and the latter the benefit of better handling than is pos- sible in brief telegraph coverages. The same opportunity was extended to Judge ‘Wickersham in connection with his speech at the Palace Theatre. He was asked Wednesday to furn The Empire with a manuscript copy of his address to be delivered that evening in order that it might be briefed and written up fally for this Thursday issue. That he failed to avail of the offer is of no moment. himself JUDGE PARKER TOO CONSERVATIVE. The disapproval by the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee of the appointment of Judge John J. Parker to be a member of the United States Supreme Court indicates that the Senate objectors to placing jurists, noted for conservatism in their interpreta- tion of the statutes, on the Supreme bench have been victorious. While it is possible for the Senate to override the committee report, it is hardly likely that it will do so. When Mr. Hughes was lately Chief Justice to succeed the late Taft, his confirmation was fought energetically by nominated to be servative in his viewpoint to serve with satisfac- tion to the liberal elements. His eminence as.a lawyer, and his other many excellent saved the day for President Hoover. But the lib- erals undoubtedly had warned the President that of the Sanford vacancy if the same type of legal talent was selected for that position. This warning has been more than been anything in the made good. _ public that affected Judge Parker's personal or |citizens undoubtedly will unite in wishing the quiet professional integrity. The muchly criticised “yel- Northampton couple a w_'orld of happl_ness_and con- Jow dog” labor decision, was not contended to be tentment in their spacious house with its roomy | grounds. It wasn't even charged that viewed such issues. his ruling was bad It being on the eve of another Congressional more closely scrutinized than would otherwise have ~ peen the case.

A surplus of over 500,000,000 pounds has piled up at the refineries, and price- jcutting began to creep into the market.
