The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the ase for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper and also the local news published he A CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALAS AR THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION REAPPOINTMENT IS DESERVED. In the reappointment of Albert White to be United States Marshal of the First Division, the Administration took the step that close observers of the political situation here had expected. There are many reasons, all of them valid, why the present encumbent of that office should be retained. There are few, and none of them controlling, to the con‘rary. If there has been any charge that Marshal White has not conducted his office with efficiency, it has escaped public notice. He has made a splen- did record for law enforcement in the almost five years he has filled the position. And he has been able to do so with little inconvenience to the gen- eral public. There has been no hint of scandal about his administration. True he has had opposi- tion which has not hesitated to criticise him to the Department of Justice, but apparently it was based upon political differences rather than upon any official delinguencies or lack of efficiency. There are two prime requisites in filling such offices as this—efficiency as shown by the record where reappointment is at stake, and political loyal- ty. It has been Marshal White's loyalty to the Administration, outstanding during his entire tenure, that probably caused much, if in fact not all, of the complaints lodged against him in Washington. He has worked for the Administration in and out of season, not only in the Territory but in several Western States. At considerable personal expense he took part in two campaigns in Idaho and else- | where, working for friends of the Hoover Admin- istration, nominees of ‘the Republican Party. This was not pleasing to some of the anti-Administration Republicans in Alaska who would be delighted to get rid of him and bring about the appointment of some less outspoken Republican who would fit in with their own plans more readily than Marshal White has done. Their efforts in this direction were well known. The Department of Justice and the President were well advised in giving them little heed and the Senate acted wisely on confirming with so little delay the President’s nomination. HEFLIN'S TURN TO BE “HEFLED.” Not to every man has it come that in the coin he has paid to others on many occasions, to himself is payment in the day of his need. Something of this nature has happened to Senator J. Thomas Heflin, whose long-distance encounters with the “Pope of Rome,” long ago ceased to be amusing and merely became ridiculous to all save a limited few who retain allegiance to the empty shell of | Ku Kluxism. The Alabama Senator was soundly trounced in the election last November, Alabama voters giving his Democratic opponent, John H. Bankhead, an overwhelming majority. A few days ago, the Alabama demagogue made known his in- tention of filing a contest against Mr. Bankhead whose election, he asserted was based upon whole- sale fraud and vote stealing. The House of Representatives of Alabama, then in session, took official note of Heflin's accusations and proceeded to “hefle” some on its own ac- count A resolution passed by that body by a vote of 91 to 3, expresses the State solons’ opinion in language as fervid as that used by Heflin himself when really wrought up by the menace of Ro- manism. Declaring that the said “J. Thomas Heflin has during the greater part of his tenure made Alabama the laughing stock of the Union by his many courtesies expected between one gentleman and’ another,” it proclaimed further, “We wish the |Patient insists he is suffering from.—(Muwaukce‘,. world to know we resent the implications that the sovereign citizens of the State of Alabama were not fair or honest in the conduct of elections where we ourselves and our friends are so vitally affected.” Heflin was so badly beaten that before Alabama's vote was half counted last November, newspapers | out of the State quit tallying the returns and only | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, FEB. 23, 1931. to go up in smoke as the result of a forest fire, That seems to us to represent true conservation. Too wmany theoretical conservationists have failed to realize that the real purpose of conserving e~ sources is to make them available for greater service. They seem to be laboring under the impression that conserve is the synonym for reserve when it in fact its antonym. The aim of practical con l\:’ru‘.lir)n is to get the highest possible use out of that with which it is concerned. To that ideal Alaska heartly subscribes, but wgth equal heartiness tit protests against useless and wasteful reserva- |tions that in so many instances have been :orced upon it in the guise of conservation. | Big Bill Thompson must be losing his pep. Here it is only a short time before Chicago’s muni- cipal election and he hasn't declared war on King ! George yet. Vitamins Are Necessary. | (New York Herald-Tribune.) | At the suggestion of the Women's Division of the President’s Emergency Committee for Employ- |ment, the Home Economics Bureau of the Depart- ment of Agriculture is offering a weekly food guide pleted budget. It is, of course, comparatively easy, |given a comfortably filled purse and an unlimited |supply of produce to choose from, to feed a family satisfactorily. But when the purse grows flat and drought or other disaster has cut down the supply of food products the matter does not take care of itself. Haphazard buying does not result so happily when |basic foods are scarce or expensive, and the unin-| {formed housekeeper is likely to fall into the habit| of buying the cheapest foods available without con-| sideration of their health properties. This is espe-/ cially true in rural communities, where the garden, and the cow have been the chief source of the, |table supply. When these have failed and unem- | |ployment has cut down the family income, aj | knowledge of what to buy in the market of village | |or town in order to give both child and adult the | | proteins, calories, vitamins and minerals that the| | chemistry of the body demands becomes more im- | | portant. Important not only for the maintenance | of the general health of each member of the family, | |but for the prevention of what are known as dietry | |deficiency diseases, such as rickets, scurvy and | | pellagra. { | Setting a standard from which to work, the| | bureau points out that for every meal there should | |be milk for the children and bread for all the fam- | ily; every day there should be a cereal which should |Include at least a third of the whole grain product, | potatoes, a green or yellow vegetable and a fruit for lall, with tomatoes or oranges for the children; |two to four times a week everybody should have | tomatoes, dried beans, peas or peanuts, lean fresh ' meat, fish or poultry, cheese, and eggs at least! {for the children. These foods contain the required ! |elements for nourishment, growth and health pro-| tection, and for the most part are staples the prices of which do not fluctuate greatly throughout the country. Meat, of course, is the most ex-! |pensive item, but, as the bureau points out, cheap! jcuts contain just as much protein as the expensive cuts and may he made just as palatable with care-| ful cooking. Canned and dried fish are suggested | as alternatives where fresh fish is too expensive |or unobtainable. Interested housewives are invited to write to the bureau for the menus and recipes for the low cost | |but attractive meals that have been worked out.| Professional workers and community groups who | are alding needy families or homeless persons are |also invited to call on the bureau for aid in select- | |ing and shopping around for the most economical, ! | health producing foods required in their particular | | localities. ~ | { Finland Going Wet? (New York World.) The Government of Finland has appointed a! Wickersham committee. Its group of experts is| to investigate the conditions created by Prohibition and suggest changes in the law. Public opinion is shifting so strongly againstthe dry law that its repeal is confidently predicted. The Finnish liquor law went into effect June 1, 1919. It bans the sale of all liquors containing |more than two per cent of alcohol. Under it pre- |cisely the same evils have developed that the Vol- |stead Act has brought in its train here. Enforce- |ment is impossible. Rum Row and the speakeasies | |are in constant evidence. Home brewing and dis-! tilling are common. |look across the border and see men of their own | jrace dwelling under a system of restricted sale of | alcoholic liquors which seems to have been working | | satisfactorily since 1914, and which followed the | | Gothenburg system, dating from 1855. Both the | present Bratt system and the Gothenburg system ! in Sweden have featured the elimination of the ele- | ment of private gain beyond a fixed percentage of | profit allowed to the distributing companies. No na- |tion has had a longer or on the whole a more isatls(actory experience with laws framed to decrease drunkenness than Sweden, as the Finlanders have a near neighbor’s chance to observe. Advocacy of the adoption of the Bratt system or something along | similar lines has naturally gained strength in Fin- land as doubt of the possibility of enforcing Pro- hibition has become confirmed. | There ought to be a big reduction in fibbing| bigotry, lack of religious tolerance and lack of the now that physicians no longer have to specify | on a liquor prescription the ailment which the Journal.)
