RICHARDSON. Judge Wickersham in his speech at the Palace | Theatre accused Gen. W. P. Richardson of being | one of the sponsors of the Beveridge Commission Bill which was President Taft's offering as a solu- tion of the Alaska problem. He said that Gen. Richardson expected to be on the commission. The fact is that Gen. Richardson, Alaska's great- | est benefactor and vigilant friend, was not a spon- sor for the Beveridge Bill. More than that, he did not favor it. He favored selfgovernment for Alaska. President Taft, who had been Governor-General of the Philippines, got the idea of a commission gov- ernment for Alaska from his experience in lhnsei islands. He told Gen. Richardson about it, and | told him that he wanted him on the commission. Gen. Richardson told the President that it would | never do. He said the people of Alaska would not stand for an appointive commission. He finally told | the President that Alaska ought not to stand for it. | He declared that the people wanted self-government and ought to have it. He urged a full form of | Territorial government to both President Taft and | Gov. Hoggatt and later to Gov. Clark. Gen. Rlchard-‘ son told the writer many times about his discus- sions on this subject. We believe there is no person living better qualified to testify as to the attitude of Gen. Richardson on this and most other things than the editor of The Empire. Gen. Richardson was not only the father of good roads in Alaska but he was an unswerving sup- porter of self-government for the Territory. To him was due a lot of the credit for President Taft’s recommendation for a full Territorial form of gov- ernment for Alaska made in December 1912, after the abominable Organic Act, in which Judge Wick- ersham boasts of such pride, had become a law— a recommendation which President Wilson repeated in 1913. It is just too bad, but it seems impossible for Judge Wickersham to go through a campalgn with- out maligning those who have not agreed with him. Gen. Richardson was Alaska's greatest and most unselfish friend among. those who have been im- portantly connected with her history during the present century. It was bad enough for Judge Wickersham to throw mud at his opponent, but Mr. Grigsby is alive and amply able to defend himself. Cen. Richardson is in his grave and the people of Alaska are about to erect a memorial to his mewory. His friends resent the attempt of an enemy to misrepresent him who can defend himself no more except through a record*that has given him first place in the hearts of Alaskans. ABOUT PROMISING PROSPERITY. “No Government undertakes to promise pros- perity; it would be foolish,” said Ex-President Cool- idge. But, Mr. Ex-President, that is just what Mr. Hoover did promise in his speech of acceptance and from several stumps in 1928. He went further: he said, with God's help, the Republicans will “banish poverty from the land” if they are continued in power. Mr. Hoover, it is true, did leave the gate open for an alibi in that poverty banishment promise. He said “with God's help.” Possibly he might say that God went back on him. He did not expect that. As Elmer Davis says, he might have thought God was a good Republican and would stick. However, it would probably be unfair to draw the comparison between Mr. Coolidge's observation and Mr. Hoover’s promise too closely. Mr. Coolidge is Ex-President and not a candidate for votes. When Mr. Hoover promised permanent prosperity he wanted votes very much. Like with most candi- dates he desired votes so greatly that good sports- manship will not hold him accountable to the letter of promises made for them. THE KELLEY OIL SCANDAL. We cannot see justification for trying to work off a rather far-fetched oil scandal on the Hoover Administration. If there is anything crooked going on*in Colorado there ought to be an investigation that would lead to all the facts and a judicial de- termination. A trial by the mob during an elec- tion campaign is not the right way to meet the situation. A Then, on the other hand, it is all so unneces- sary. If the Democrats cannot win a Congressional election on the perfidious Hawley-Smoot tariff, and on their stronger position. on Prohibition, victory is not for them at all. One would think the failure of Teapot Dome, Elk Hill, Fall, Doheny, Sinclair, Daugherty and the rest of it to be translated into Republican defeats would teach the Democrats that the only scandals that affect political majori- are immune from such attacks as that of Ralph Kelley. - registration at the last State election of Up-State counties is less than 5 per cent. high- er. It sees in this condition success for Gov. Roose- velt. Tammny figures, based on give Gov. Roosevelt a plurality of 497,000 in New York City, slightly larger than that of Mayor Walker three years ago. pire: don't bet on the election. If your candidates win that will be joy enough and if they lose you will still have your money if you don’t bet. Politics will be cleaner if we keep them on an amateur basis and betting is more or less ruinous to amateur sports. Judge Wickersnam says he fought against the Jones Bill that deprived Alaska of the benefit of Canadian competition with all his might. Then he brags about his great influence at Wash- ington. How did it happen that the bill was| passed? provision Organized Opposition to Prohibition. (New York World.) One unmistakable sign of the rising tide of opposition to the Eighteenth Amendment is the in- creased activity of organizations working for repeal. | The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, | founded in 1920 but dormant for some years, is today an aggressive organization under intelligent and capable leadership. The Women's Organization for | Prohibition Reform is at work in many States. Yes- terday the newspapers reported the initiatiom of a while that | the registration, | | We shall repeat advice often given by The Em- |yt week’'s campaign for new members by the Crusaders. This organization, the newest in the field of op- position to the Eighteenth Amendment, consists of younger men. It advocates repeal of the amend- ment, the adoption “by the States of laws which will control the manufacture and sale of intoxi-| cating liquors along lines best suited to the prob-i lems of each individual State” and the enactment | of “Federal legislation to protect States which may | desire to remain dry from liquor importation.” ( It is the practice of many friends of Prohlbl-! tion to denounce the leaders of these opposition | organizations as ‘“rebels” and as ‘“tools of the liquor interests,” despite the fact that they are; plainly men and women of unimpeachable character | and position. It is not a subsidy from the “liquor| interests” (long since suppplanted by the speak-! easies) which animates the opposition of these men | and women. It is the belief that National Pro- hibition has been a tragic failure and that the time has come to re-establish the fundamental prin- ciple of Federal Government by restoring power and authority to the States. Ten years ago no such organizations as these were in the field. If they had been, the history of 1917 and 1918 might have been’another story. The Tariff a Boomerang. (Columbus Ohio State Journal, Republican.) Who can say but that America might have been more prosperous and enjoyed even higher standards of living and wages had this Nation followed a policy of a moderate tariff, which in their beginning some industries might have found advantageous, and if as a national policy America had early sought her markets all over the world and not erected an un- reasonable barrier against other nations? This has finally found its answer in the action of our here-! tofore best customers in protecting their own indus- tries and markets by the same system that this country has so selfishly pursued. | A progressively declining world trade which now seems to confront the United States will leave our home market glutted with manufactured goods and‘ products of the mines and farms as declining prlces.‘ as mass production in practically all lines of indus- try has since the war fundamentally changed the American economic system. The, development of industry in this country to the highest point which will be possible under these changed economic conditions, the employment of labor at the highest possible wage and the solution of our farm problem, if any solution is possible, must proceed along the lines of making international trade less difficult by the removal of unreasonable tariff barriers. After all, the natural law is that of competition and any economic legislative scheme seeking to alter it will in the end be defeated. The Westward’s Destiny. (Seward Gateway.) The ultimate destiny of Far Westward Alaska, fantastic as it may seem, is that populous centers {will one day be the rule rather than the exception. Families will slowly settle out there; in turn other members of these families, friends, etc., will arrive; a small community will start, a school house, and so on; from a settlement sprouts a town; gardens, itrees. There is no reason why this will not be so for its climate is said to be far more ideal than European countries located in the same latitude. The American consumer may breathe a sigh of relief. Delivery from the oppressive rates of the Grundy tariff is now in sight. The new Tariff Commission has asked to lower the duty on men's silk opera hats.—(St. Louis Post-Dispetch.) It was a hard job for the President to name the Tariff Commission. Now the tough work is passed on to the commission itself —(Omaha World Her- ald.) The Lieutenant Governor of Nevada, who tried to ride a circus camel, was catapulted off the ani- mal's back. Well, one could scarcely expect a poli- tician to stick on a camel very long these days.— (Philadelphia Inquirer.) The first bale of cotton marketed in a certain And let it be remembered that this comment is by no means wholly uncomplimentary to ihe Repuiblican Party. It indicates that the party is capably led. 2 Missouri town last year brought $11 per hundred The first bale this year brought $3.25. The most discouraged man in that county right now is said to be the Republican Congressman who is running for re-election.—(Sioux City Tribune.)
