They have come for the annual conven- | tion of the Pioneers of Alaska, an organization devoted not only to preserving the best of past | traditions, but also to promoting present develop-;‘ ment and to insuring future prosperity. What co- operation can be given these early, steadfast resi- dents in their labor at hand will be gladly extended, and likewise every effort will be exerted to make | their stay pleasant and enjoyable. The passing of 30 years or more has broughti many changes to the Northland. The hectic nctivi- ties and transient populations of boom camps have | been succeeded by the established business ecnter- | prises and the settled inhabitants of permanent | communities. Transportation factilities have im-| proved; automobile, trains and airplanes have sup- | planted pack horses almost entirely, and dog-drawn sleds to a large extent; steam and gasoline power | craft have displaced rafts, scows, rowboats and | poling boats on inland streams and coastal waters.'in view, an acceleration of the rate of building | from Circle Hot Springs.

For the solution of present problems, the same human equation is needed as past difficulties demanded. For the great tasks accomplished under most forbidding conditions by Alaska’s pioneers, every succeeding generation will be indebted to them. They are worthy of emulation and honor. May they live long and prosper. DRYS ADVISE DEMOCRATS. A recent issue of the Clip Sheet, publicity med- | ium of the Methodist Board of Temperance, etc., undertakes to pursuade the Southern Democrats that the “rebelion” of the great industrial States in the | last two years has not been against Prohibition but against the Republican Party. The fact that Demo- | cratic organizations and Democratic candidates in | the revolting commonwealths were outspokenly op- posed to Prohibition as is, it argued, had no bear- ing on the results of the last election and other upsets to the Grand Old Party. The voters in Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Ohio and other States merely voted for the Democratic | candidates because they were tired of being Re- publicans. If the Democratic Party in 1932 chooses a Wet | candidate for President, the Board advises the| South, do as you did in 1928, rebel against the | party nominee and turn Republican. While the | Board neglected to remind the South of the fate of the leaders of the Southern party’s rebellion in| 1928, the South cannot have forgotten it this soon. Before it leaves the party fold again, its chieftains | will pause and consider seriously the reasons under- lying the downfall of Senators J. Thomas Heflin and Furnival M. Simmons, who bolted the Smith ticket in 1928 only to be cast down from their elevated positions in 1930. The South may not know just what gave their Northern comrades victory last year, but it has no doubt about the case of | the downfall of their own bolters. And knowing that, the Drys face an almost impossible task in | their efforts to incite another party rebellion south of the Mason and Dixon line in 1932, A SONG BIRD HUSHED. In the 72 years of Melba’s life, she had wandered, one of the great minstrels of all time, over the far reaches of land and sea. With the melody of her wonderful voice, she had charmed and thrilled the inhabitants of every clime. To her, as to musical artists of eminence always, no people was alien, no shore was foreign. But, at last, tired and weary, she was taken by fhe hand, as it were, by kindly fate and led back home again to rest. She died at Melbourne, Australia, the place where she was born. Melba, like most singers endowed with such rare gifts as hers, evidenced them early and kept them late in life. She revealed her rich possession to the surprise of her relatives before she was 6 years old and employed it to the delight of the public after she was 60. To vocal riches, she added the wealth of physical beauty and gracious manners. With a comely countenance and voluptuous figure, she filled the traditional requirements of the operatic roles she essayed—a Hebe of curves and warmth rather than a racing Diana inclined to angles and frigidity. She was quite devoid of the tempera- mental rudeness in which some successful personages on stage and concert platform like to indulge, and she affected no annoying eccentricities. Music is a natural gift. In the opinion of many Darwinian scholars, life has evolved from simple, {by them and by the phonograph, the radio and the |extend the influence of the most widespread nnd i the skies from New York to the Antilles. More distance speed records have fallen to him than |to any other pilot. In the past six months he and harmony is a heritage of mankind from a winged and feathered existence. Maybe so. To few persons is given in such abundant meas- ure, the vocal treasure that was Melba’s, but there should be none unable to appreciate it. All have some musical talent capable of cultivation in at least some degree. The refining effect of music fs generally recog- nized. It is encouraged by public schools and aided sound screen Of the varied kinds of harmony, the human note is best. Melba’'s soprano had but few equals She has left behind something besides memories of its purity, flexibility and sweetness. She helped to the most popular of the arts—the art that con- tributes greatly to the advancement of civilization. THE ASTEST HUMAN.” That title, we hold, should be bestowed upon Capt. Frank M. Ha American aviator whose aerial paths have cri sed the nation and tracked has flown 25409 miles at an average speed of a little more than three miles per minute, making 92 trips in his Travelair racer. If those flights rang- ing from short hops of 50 miles to 900-mile stretches were put together it would be equal to the cir-| cumnavigation of the earth at the Equator and| the time consumed amount to but six days. His! fastest time was 270 miles an hour, made with al helpful wind, and his slowest was 145 miles ngainst[ a head wind. Capt. Hawks believes his record indi-| cates what is possible for the future. A plane that will encircle the globe in six days could be built, but only with new designs of motors and planes, | he asserted. A Warning Note from Overseas. (New York Herald-Tribune.) The London naval treaty did not end competi- tion in naval armaments; it held out the hope that competition would be halted if France and Italy| did not embark on lavish building programs. Un-{ der the so-called ‘“escalator” clause of the treaty, French or Italian naval construction beyond a cer- tain point would permit Great Britain to go beyond her treaty limit, the United States retaining the right to parity with Great Britain at the higher level. Those who believed some of the extreme pane- gyrics of the treaty will be disappointed to read; the warning which Mr. Alexander, First Lord of| the British Admiralty, has just given to the House of Commons. France and Italy, he indicated, are building at such a rate that the Labor Government | may have to ‘“reconsider its position.” It is- per- missible to regard that as a diplomatic way of say- ing that, even if the total of British construction | is not to be increased, the rate at which it is being built may well be.

Even if all were right with the world and France the program of the Administration for the United! States Navy would be hopelessly inadequate. Even | if there were no question of the ‘“escalator” clause, | {1t would still be true that the United States Navy|baby girl in the Mother Ryther! | Mrs. John B. Marshall is 13,7 per cent below treaty strength, as compared | with percentages of 1.8 and 08 per cent for the British and Japanese, respectively. Before the pos- sibility of the “escalator” clause darkened the sky, it was actually admitted by highly placed authori- ties that parity would not be achieved within the treaty period. This neglect of the Navy is impossible to explain | and difficult to excuse. With the possibility that the triparite agreement among the United States, Great Britain and Japan may be rendered value-| less by Franco-Italian building, the inaction of the| Administration becomes inexplicable. The Senate and House committees, both of which failed to enlarge the Administration program, can no longer blink facts which are known to every newspaper reader. Mr. Alexander’s hint is not only a warning to the British House of Commons; it should be taken as a warning to the American Congress. There still is time to give the United States Navy a balanced and adequate building program. Such program would be especially appropriate at a time when unemployment exists in the skilled trades and when world conditions are such that no foreign nation could possibly object. If Congress misses this opportunity, it will be guilty of a short- sightedness which no amount of talk can explain away. Bishop Cannon’s Exoneration. (New York World.) Dr. Costen J. Harrell of Richmond has ex- pressed his regret at the action of a committee of inquiry of the Methodist Church South in dis- missing certain charges brought against Bishop Can- non. Dr. Harrell was one of the four authors of these charges. He asserts that he and his colleagues made a careful investigation of facts and that “after we heard the evidence in Washington, in- cluding some very astonishing admissions by Bishop Cannon, we were doubly sure that we were right. The committee did not vote with us, but time will doubtless reveal their blunder.” The precise nature of the charges against Bishop Cannon have not been made public, but on appar- ently reliable authority it has been reported that they were concerned with Bishop Cannon’s stock speculation through a brokerage house which was later held to have been a bucket shop and his handling of a political campaign fund in Virginia in the election of 1928. The activity of Bishop Cannon as a stock speculator is obviously a matter which concerns only the Bishop and his church. The general public has no legitimate reason for wishing to intrude on a discussion of the matter, But the activity of Bishop Cannon as a politician raises questions of another sort. In June of last year Bishop Cannon refused to answer inquiries addressed to him by a commit- tee of the Senate concerning the part he played in the anti-Smith campaign of 1928 and his ex- penditure of funds which were raised for that campaign. The committee, he insisted, had no {authority under its mandate from the Senate ‘o | investigate these matters. On this point he was right. But the effect of his refusal to testify was to give many people the impression that he was more willing to take advantage of a technicality than to make a frank and explicit accounting for his acts. That he has apparently been upheld in this attitude by a committee of his fellow church- men is by no means reassuring.
