The sale of poppies for the bensfit of disabled war veterans has become a National institution. The indications are that the sales this year, not- withstanding the depression, will be more vigorously pressed and er than aver before. Poppy Day is the Saturday before Memorial Day and the poppies sold are made by disabled veterans during the months preceding that occasion. 'The day will bz observed in Juneau as usual, and next Saturday every citizen will be given an opportunity to purchase the paper flowers. The current American Legion Monthly contains the following anent the observance of Poppy Day: Ten million or more poppies will bz sold The American Legion Auxiliary this month, most of them on May 23d, the Sat- urday before Memorial Day. On that day 100,000 Auxiliaries will work from dawn until dusk selling the little paper flowers which disabled men have been making for many months in hospitals and special workshops. Each of the sellers is a voluntary worker The money—a million dollars it will total— will be used to finance Legion and Auxiliary relief work and most of it will remain in the cities and towns where the poppies are sold. This year the Auxiliary’s poppy workshops have been unusually busy because the de- pression has hit the disabled man first. ‘The poppy-makers receive a penny for each poppy. Three hundred is about all a rea- sonable active hospital patient can make in one day without fatigue, so most work- shops set this figure as a limit. Some men, weak from long illn can make only half that many. Poppies are being manufactured this year in thirty-one States,- the other States obtaining their poppies from them. All poppies sold by the Auxiliary bear on a paper sticker the names of the Le- gion and Auxiliary, and this sitcker is the buyer’s guarantee that the flower was made by a needy, disabled veteran and that all the money paid for it will be used for the relief of the war's living victims. The Empire heartily endorses the Poppy Day proclamation of Mayor Thomas B. Judson in which he said: I urge that his day be observed by all patriotic citizens of Juneau by the wearing of the memorial poppy made by disabled veterans which will be offered on the streets of the city by the women of the American Legion Auxiliary. I further urge that the citizens of Juneau who gave so gallantly of their services and so liberally of their wealth during the war, think on this day of those who gave health and strength, and when purchasing a poppy give as lib- erally as their means will allow to help lighten the burden for those who are still paying in suffering and poverty the price of our glorious victory, by IT TOOK A LO Col. Amos W. W. Woodcock, United States Pro- hibition Director, discussing his job and that of the Bureau at Seattle the other day said: The problem of handling liquor in the home rests with temperance societies and civic organizations as the Government can- not interfere there. There were ten years of litigation before the Prohibition enforcers were made to understand that individuals have some rights in their homes uhat are sacred. Some enforcers do not understand it yet, or, if they do, they assume that those whose homes they raid do not understand their right to freedom from unlawful search. They take the law into their own hands and bully the :njured citizns into pleading guilt, 0 the courts may ot have to pass upon the legality of their conduct. TIME. FRANCE REFUSES HIGHEST HONORS TO HER GREAT. The Senators and Deputies of France defeated the greatest living French statesman when they elected Paul Doumer to be President for the next seven years. But in doing so they ran true to Jorm. They did the same thing in 1924 when they chose - | which is designed to constitute a permanent R — THE DA[LY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1931. “lm the office of motion pnctures is making for the' ‘Dx,)uln ent of the Interior, under a special appro- ‘prlaliun Maj.

Alaska Brown Bears. (New York Times.) | Creation of a sanctuary in Alaska for the giant brown bzar, announced by Secretary Wilbur, will be good news to Dr. Wililam Hornaday. In “Our| Vanishing Wild Life” he admitted that protection of the brown bear was not popular everywhere in Alaska, since no one unarmed felt comfortable in the presence of “th:se magnifcent monsters.” “The hunting of the brown bears,” he said, “is a busi- |ness for men, and it is partly for that reason they |should be preserved.” He contended that preser- |vation of the Alaska fauna on the public domain should not be left unreservedly to the people of Alaska, because “as sure as shooting they will not preserve it.” Dr. Saxton T. Pope, on one expedition into Alaska, killed common bears, grizzlies and black bears with bow and arrow. There are thirteen kinds of bears in the Territory. General Greely has said of the brown bears: “They are not only terrifying from their size and great strength, but have been known at times unprovokedly to attack and kill persons.” He describes them as “the larg- est carnivorous animals in the world.” The brown bears are naturaly not wanted where settlers raise crops. Even Dr. Hornaday realizes that they present “a perplexing problem.” The;} “bag” allowed should be small. A region where the brown bear flourishes when left alone is that of the Katmai National Monument. The proclama- tion signed by President Hoover doubles its area and brings it down to the coastline along Shelikof Straits. In this great tract of 2,697,590 acres the| brown bear will roam unmolested hereafter. Dr. Wilson, That’s All! (New York Herald Tribune.) Because Dr. Clarence True Wilson disagrees with the conclusions of Miss Ada L. Comstock, Presi- dent of Radcliffe College, as published in the ‘Wickersham report on Prohibition, he has told the New Hampshire Methodist Episcopal Conferencg that Radcliffe is ‘“one of the wettest, smokiest and loos:zst colleges in the United States. How chiv- alrous of the gentleman and how utterly typical! It is an old Black Hand trick in seeking revenge against a’ recalcitrant victim to kidnap, murder or otherwise maltreat his children. Dr. Wilson merely refines the process. He takes it out on Miss Com- stock by publicly slandering her charges. He has, of course, no facts to substantiate his statement, and he makes no attempt to supply them. The Radcliffe student body, as it happens, bears a reputation for the exact opposite of the picture so charmingly presented by Dr. Wilson. That does not deter him. What are facts and reputa- | tions among mud-slingers? But it is possible to be too cross with Dr. Wil- son. After all, this outburst is only the latest evidence of the hysteria that grips him and that has made him and his propaganda subjects more of pity than of censure. Certainly Miss Comstock can afford to dismiss his tirade with a smile of tolerance. And as for the Radcliffe girls, they are probably happy to learn that there is a man with a megaphone who refuses to regard them as bluestockings. Meeting a 1seficit. (Cincinnati ®nquirer.) : Philip Snowden is an unusual figure in many! ways, but in his approach to fiscal problems he is essentially British. The frail Chancellor of the| Exchequer does not try to minimize the gravity of Great Britain's budget deficit of nearly $200,000,000. If anything, hee paints a gloomier picture than necessary. And more important than this, he does not look for the easiest solution, but rather for the soundest and most lastingly beneficial. It doubtless was tempting for Snowden to gloss over his deficit and tide his country over with a short-time credit issue, as the United States is doing fqr its much larger deficit. But that is the politician’s, not the stateman's way out. It saves embarrassment for the Government, momentarily, | and merely postpones the real problem for a time, until it is even more serious. Regardless of party affiliation, British leaders reflect the candor of their people in facing squarely the ugly facts of business depression and costly government. After the war England made an al- most superhuman effort to stabilize the pound sterling at its par value, although the nation never has quite recovered from the strain. Since then ‘lthe Government has made appalling demands on the British people, in order to:keep the finances of the country sound. Even larger taxes are proposed this week by | Chancellor Snowden, and they doubtless will be re- ceived with stoical fortitude by the taxpayers. It | seems likely, however, that the British people ulti- | mately will benefit from their national policy o{l paying from year to year all their Government Gaston Doumergue for President over Georges|costs. The courage of Snowden and his colleagues Clemenceau. will not be wasted. With the possible exception of former President Poincare, disqualified for further service by sick- ness, Aristide Briand is easily the first statesman of France just as Clemenceau was before his death. If any one ever earned by distinguished service ithe highst honors in the French Republic Clemenceau and Briand earned them. And both of them desired to be President. Most of the civilized world were hoping for the election of Clemenceau in 1924 as it wished that Briand might be elected this year, Both men were doomed to severe d pointment. SIGN LA UAGE IN “TALKIES.” Production of sound pictures has been initiated by the United States Department of Agriculture in its own studio in Washington. One of the first “talkies” scheduled is the Indian sign language film The action of Governor Roosevelt of New York, in refusing to oust Mayor Walker upon charges preferred against him by a group of citizens, was expected by perhaps the mapority of fair-minded people throughout the country. Mayor Walker's defense, as présented to the Governor, was a mas- terly cumulation of tangible, constructive fact as opposed to a category of generalizations and assump- tions.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.) G. K. Chesterton laments the lack of inns in America. There are plenty of them; but of course it takes a little time to strike up an acquaintance with the bartender.—(Milwaukee Journal) Dr. Mann, of the National Zoo, says the elephant forgets about as rapidly as any animal.
