Indications aye that we shall soon again see a Prohibition Party as in the days of Neal Dow and John P. St. John. Will Rogers refers to former President Coolidge's five hundred words on that Black: Hills rock as “Coolidge’s Republican history of the United States.” And that recalls that it is a difficult thing for one who has been active in politics to write a his- tory. Many who think they are historians are really brief writers The value of real leadership was never better illustrated than in New York where the Democratic Gov.

(Seattle Business Chronicle.) The United States forges ahead in shipbuilding According to Lloyd’'s Register of Shipping, volume of ship construction in this country has doubled in the past year and the Nation has jumped from seventh to second place in this activity. Merchant ships under construction July 1 are sald to amount to 238163 tons as compared with 119,098 one year Great Britain and Ireland continue in the lead by a wide margin, having 1,392,063 tons of mer- BURNING.

And greatest of all achievements were the shining lights that were forced to walk thorny path to prison: he sent over the road his predecessor, the man who had made him assistant prosecutor and gave him his chance in the sun, and the millionaire Pantages. Strange as it may the| there are those who glorify in that sort of record. We have grim old Puritans with ‘us yet, hidden away in shadowed pews, who feel that the Lord is being served when his creatures are tortured. Perhaps many of them would prefer to apply torch to faggots, but that being prohibited since witch-burning days, they screech with delight when some citizen is dragged from his family and associates and locked inside the grim, sun-excluding walls of a penitentiary.| There are, too, sensationalists who hope to profit| in some way by some sort of affiliation with a man like Fitts, and they dance in the weird light of his burning brimstone as they chortle their sup- port of his candidacy for higher honors. Los Angeles has so often been hypnotized by her Fittses and other lurid self-advertisers, who perform either in the name of the law or upon the emotions | of hysterical women and effeminate men, that it is refreshing to see California respond to a common- | sense campaign of a common-sense man as Wwas| done when, following the leadership of wise Mayor | Rolph, Buron Fitts, the sensational pen-filler, was denied fullfilment of his demand for high reward for wielding a scourge. seem | BELATED COMMENT ON CA ‘ MORAN. | When Bernard H. Moran—famed as “Casey” | Moran—died recently at Americaiba, Venezuela, the | light went out of one of the uniquie characters that made up the throng that worked and pl ed acr Alaska and Yukon Territory in the gold stampeding days of thirty years and more ago. Casey Moran spent his youth in Seatte where he was a carrier for the Times and later a reporter for the same paper. He came to Juneau in 1895, and noting the lack of ice in gin fizzes and cock- tails and wine, he went into the ice business picked up floating icebergs from his supply. H towed these to the beach and there had his widely advertised e yards” From Juneau he went to the Klondike among the first stampeders and be- came attached to the Dawson Sun. Later he went to Fairbanks, where he again worked as a reporter | and editor and from where he radiated throughout | the Territory. He began writing for the magazines and Eastern papers about Alaska about a quarter century ago. Several notable articles from his pen were printed in the Saturday Evening Post He followed the newspaper game in the East for several years. He helped build Camp Dix in New Jersey during the war. Later he was working on a newspaper at Tampico and then was editor of | the English language pages of a paper in Mexico | City. Next we hear of him from the chair of the| editor publisher the Tropical Sun, an English language paper Americaibo, Venezuela, of which he had been editor for a half dozen| or more years before he died not long ago Casey Moran versatile man who grew | from the street prominence He picked up| his profession of jc ism by working about news- | papers and learned te by writing.

In the year's interval this country also has passed Japan, Hplland, France, and Russia. Ships under construction in those and a few other countries on July 1 were of the fol- lowing ratings: Holland, 187445 tons; France, 186,- 960; Russia, 156,921; Italy, 143,075; Sweden, 126,980; Japan, 121,607; Denmark, 115991 The impetus back of this shipbuilding revival |is the Jones-White bill passed by Congress in 1928, under which chance for profit in operation of Ameri- lcan ships is extended by means of mail-carrying |contracts and liberal loans to builders of vessels | More than $93,000,000 has thus far been | make possible the construction of 34 are made. loaned to ships. There are those who say that this country can not win success on the seas because it lacks seamen. For a long period there has been truth in that statement. However, various steps are being taken to give this country once more an adequate quota of adept seamen. California has for some time been developing the nautical schoolship plan by which young men are given maritime training. Mas- sachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania also now | have schools of this nature, aided by Federal funds | The Governor of Maine, who recently visited the | Pacific Coast, is actively working for establishment | of a seamen’s training school in his State. By‘ means of questionnaires he reports having quickly had response from 450 boys of high school age who wish to take such training. The number may be trebled when he has complete respense to the ques- tionnaire. Seattle Census Passes 365,000, (Seattle Business Chronicle.)

Bureau gives Seattle a population of 365,518, a jump of more than 2300 over previous preliminary figures | and 1445 ahead of Indianapolis, which had tem- porarily supplanted Seattle in 20th place with 364,- 073 counted and checked inhabitants. Seattle’s re-| vised 1930 count represents an increase of 50,206 over its 315312 population 'of 1920, a gain of 159 per cent. Revised counts give Spokane an increase of 11.1 per cent. to 116,010; Tacoma, 10.2 per cent. to 106,885; Bellingham, 19.6 per cent. to 30,602; Everett, 10.3 per cent to 30,498; Yakima, 19.2 per cent. to 22,200. ) Washington's 1930 population in this latest re-| vision becomes 1,561967, an increase of 205,346, or | 15.1 per cent.—a more respectable figure than the 147 per cent. gain previously indicated. Popular impressions are often erroneous. Port- land is thought of and referred to as a city of homes. Seattle is commonly supposed to be a city of apartments. Yet figures obtained by the Wash- ington State Architect show that Seattle is out- standing in the matter of home-ownership. Gov- ernment statistics are said to show that 46.6 per cent. of Seattle families live in their own homes. Portland is not far behind, to be sure, with 446 |per cent. of its families in homes of their own, but that the difference is not the other way around constitutes the surprise. Both cities are far ahead of many in the United States in percentage of home- ownership. San Francisco has only 274 per cent. of its families in their own homes; Chicago, 27 per cent.; Boston, 185 per cent.;, Washington, 30.3 per cent.; Kansas City, 34.7 per cent.; Los Angeles, 34.7 per cent.
