In the death at Seattle New Year's Eve of Charles G. Heifner, the State of Washington loses a foremost citizen and Alaska staunch and powerful friend. His unexpected demise, caused by a sudden attack of pneumonia, shocks the many persons who in the course of his manifold activities came %o know him well, to admire him for his txceptional talents and to love him for his gentle nature. In private endeavor and in civic enterprise, he will be sadly missed by business associates and a trusting public; in countless hearts, grappled to him by his kindly deeds, his place never will be filled again. Of late years, Mr. Heifner was prominent in investment and financial undertakings. For more than three decades, he was an outstanding figure in the public affairs of his commonwealth and | an untiring advocate of movements for the up-; building of this Territory. In Washington, Mr. Heifner had sefved as In-| surance Commissioner and had represented a Beat- tle district in the State Senate. Last fall, he was| chosen by the Democratic Party as its Congress-l | | jonal candidate, and in a Republican stronghold, impregnable since before the beginning of the pres- ent century, made the contest comparatively close For Alaska, Mr. Heifner achieved notable results. | He helped in bringing about the present form nf‘; Territorial Government. To him as much as U any other one man, credit is due for interestin Federal authorities in the project for the raflroad between Seward and Fairbanks. He journeyed to Princeton, N. J, to urge the undertaking on Woodrow Wilson after the latter’s first election to the Presidency but before his inauguration, and subsequently made two trips to the national capital to enlist the support of Cabinet officers and to present facts to Congressional committees. In the late campaign, his platform stressed “liberalization of Alaska's laws to allow freer development of the Territory.” Mr. Heifner's labors were long, as well as faith- ful. He was 66 years old. Yet his end seems un- timely. Of commanding appearance, his vigor was unimpaired, his brilliancy of intellect undimmed, his interest in business sustained and his concern in the public welfare not at all lessened until his brief, fatal illness. Truly, the good he did will long survive him. Death but strengthens cherished memories of his useful life. TRAIN WEATHERMEN FOR NEW AIRWAY STATIONS. The United States Department of Agriculture is training weather forecasters in a class at the Weather Bureau in Washington to fill positions throughout the country in the expanding aviation weather service. The Government is adding about 1,300 miles of teletype lines this year to a network that had already grown to 7,200 miles since passage of the air-commerce act in 1926. By means of weather stations established on these new lines the Weather Bureau will be supplying weather forecast service to aviators along 8,500 miles of airways. All students in the forecasters’ training class came from the Weather Bureau's meteorological | stations scattered over the country. All have had training in making weather observations and are now learning how to forecast weather conditions. Airway weather observers are stationed at all emergency landing fields along the airways served by the Weather Bureau. They send their reports to the airports, where forecasts are issued to aviators. The older aviation weather stations on lines of heaviest travel give 24-hour service to the fliers but only daytime service is given along those airways not yet fully equipped for night flying. C. F. Marvin, Chief of the Weather Bureau, says that expansion of the aviation weather service in the immediate future after this year's program gzoes into effect will consist primarily of increasing service along the airways already being served. . ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE LABELS ROOSEVELT “DANGEROUS Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose recent re- plection as Governor of New York by the biggest majority ever given a candidate for that office, _ almost 800,000 votes, has been singled out by the Anti-Saloon League as “dangerous” to the League's pet, Prohibition. In the current number of American Issue, its publicity organ, it termed the New York leader as “one of the most danzerous men to the | Prohibition cause in this country.” It admits that he is one of the “real respectables as far as his personality is concerned.” It is in the New York Governor's great person- ality, his high moral character and his widely recognized probity, his progressive political ideas and ideals of govenment, that his danger to the Antu- Saloon League's continued domination of the coun- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, JAN. 2, 1931.

He is a defender of the doc- MON CORPORATION, a corpora- Helene W L. Albrecht 'z trine of State rights and individual liberties whose championship has won for him the highest marks of regard his own State can bestow on one of its sons. Not only that, he stands out today as one of the leading possibilities for the Democratic Party' | candidate for President in 1932. This is the even- |tual development that the Dry organization fears. It says so with the utmost frankness. It goes even further and declares it “will say a great deal more about it in the coming weeks.” In other words its propaganda will be directed against Gov. Roosevelt in an effort to frightening his party out of giving him its next national nomination. That is a game it has played on many occasions in the past, It has attempted to dictate nominations for offices of varying ranks within both of the big parties, and “in more than one such occasion it has been suc- | cessful. | But the time when it can repeat its former victories seems to be drawing to a close. The results of the election last November show its power wan- ing. It doesn't seem very likely that it can ef- | fectively play “bogey-man” in 1932, as far as the Democrats are concerned, if that party is convinced it can win the Gov. Roosevelt Mental and Moral. (Boston News Bureau.) For a long while the protvagonists of Prohibition calmly (and rather successfully) assumed a great mental as well as moral superiority over all who dared question it. That vantage has shrunk visibly of late—just as there have been other serious losses or defections. with the declaration by Pres. mouth against both the Amendment and the Vol- stead Act. It is the tone as well as the logic of his well- this particular angle. Admittedly much of the popular resentment against Prohibition has been inarticulate (save at election), or else seemingly flippant where it was articulate; such criticism of the critic possible. The sincerity of devotion to real temperance, expressed as a premise, is beyond doubt.—height- ened by his long keeping silent his disbelief in the “pernicious” theory in a hope that Prohlbmm\: might conduce to temperance. But it hasn't; and| he catalogues its practical failures as well as’ cogently states the central defects of the “theory.”| There is the personally observed “saturation” over| the country, plus the financial “buflding up of an underworld emplre." From the legal angle there| is the wrong function thrust on the Constitution in sumptuary statutes decrecing personal conduct and the surrender of Federalized bureaucracy. i Such calm but strong criticism as ihls cannot | be brushed aside by a “holier than thou” or “smart- er than thou” gesture.

In effect, in the deadly parallel drawn by Pres. Lowell last year in the Atlantic to the| fate of amendments of Reconstruction days. In fact, also, in the first veto by an ex-university head—Woodrow Wilson. And all these have been students of governments and constitutions. The old assumption of mental and moral mon- opoly has been rapidly disintegrating. Damages to it have become more palpable, just as have other sorts of damages which have with experience be- come more evident—first of all to the Constitution and to temperance. And so far as morality per se goes, the doubt still persists as to how a ‘“legisla- tive lie” comports with that. | | . A Labor for Hercules. | (New York Times.) ‘ Britain has assigned to her most difficult colonial | post that proconsul who, during a long and emin- ent career, has accomplished many prodigies through his notable equipment of tact and sympathetic un-| derstanding. These achievements have been wrought | by Viscount Willingdon largely among people of | his own race. As Viceroy of Indian he will be| asked to conduct a successful conciliation policy through as tangled, perilous and alien a condition | as any of Great Britain’s Governors has ever met.| In Australia and in Canada the ethnic situation with which Lord Willingdon has dealt has been relatively as simple as the political. India is a land swarming with as many races and colors and castes as it has problems. The new Viceroy is famous for his charm. Doubt is expressed in London whether charm can carry | him through the treacherous jungle of Indian af-| fairs. Also, he is 64, and comment at home con-| cerns itself with the heavy burdens of the Vice- royship upon elderly shoulders. It is significant, however, that the British Government, with a choice of imperial worthies which included General Smuts of South Africa, selected Lord Willingdon as the best qualified man, in its opinion. He is known to be friendly to the nationalistic aspiration of the Indian peoples and yet at the same time he has a high estimate of the essential ties of empire. He may leave his repute on India's plains—the hazard which faces any man who goes as Viceroy in these days—but it is believed of Lord Willingdon that he has a better chance than most Englishmen to cap| his career with a great climax. The new ruler of British India knows the coun- try well. his graceful personal qualities, while they brought him the reputation of being ‘“easy-going,” also won for him fame as a liberal administrator. The time may come when, to preserve the Indian Empire, Great Britain may turn the Raj over to hard-fisted soldiers. Meanwhile, the history of her Asian policy assures that she will exhaust every effort, with men like Willingdon, to solve their nationalistic problem in India by conciliation. When Ireland is remem- bered, no miracle seems impossible of achievement in British policy. If he shall in any degree allay the dangers which face his Government in India, the new Viceroy will take a high place in history. Mr. Hoover has recognized the new regime in Brazil, but the old one in this country doesn't look like itself any more.—(Dallas News.) A lame duck at present might be defined as a Republican Congressman who has tripped over a Democrat.—(Boston Globe.) | In this country, candidates quit running when elected. In South America, it's different.—(Toledo Blade.) members in England will be on the dole pretty L soon.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
