ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION PRESIDENT IS OPTIMISTIC. The pecple will be generally disposed to hope that President Hoover had good reason for his declaration that the underlying foress that coun for recovery from the present depre! n throughout the country are working, and will assert themselves to the extent that we shall soon enter an era of prosperity far. greater than anything that has gone before. The President’s speech was plainly in- tended to give the people more confidence in the situation He openly asked for the restoration of confidence. There are few, if any, who do not believe firmly that the depression that is now in the midst of its second year will disappear and that prosperity will come again. The mooted question is, “When?" There is no doubt but that more confidence would strengthen proach of the much wanted good times. However, | in spite of the President’s optimism, most people will probably believe that the readjustments that are generally admitted to be a condition precident have not been completed. We are hoping with the President. STATE AND TREASURY DEPART- MENTS ARE RIGHT. We agree completely with the State and Treas- ury Departments at Washington that the Repara- tions charges against Germany and war debts to the United Stat are separate problems and ought to be so considered. The United States loaned money to the struggling Allies in the war against Germany with prodigal hand, We gave them what they. wanted and gave*if to them when ‘the indications were plain that the Allied Nations might crack if the request for money were not granted. the money to keep their own forces in the field. After the war was over, won with the aid of America’s very costly army, the Allies imposed their costs upon Germany. The United States bore the expense of her own 4,000,000 men and vast fleets and asked for not one cent from anybody for them. We got no reparations, asked for none. We only asked the countries that borrowed money from us for their own use to repay . We gave them all the time they asked for in which to pay. We even waived a large part of the interest. Whatever the United States might do about, the war debts ,the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury are absolutely within the facts when they say there is no connection of any sort between them and the reparations charges that were made against Germany. SECRETARY WILBUR MAY RETIRE. W. W. Jermane, Washington correspondent and an associate editor of the Seattle Times, wires his paper that Seccretary of the Interior Wilbur may resign September 1 and resume his work as Presi- dent of Leland Stanford University. Dr. Wilbur is still President of Stanford. He was given a leave of absence for one year when he became a member of the Cabinet and this was extended last year. His leave will expire September 1. 1t is said that mem- bers of the Stanford Board are not in favor of further extension as, they think, the university is suffering on account of long-distance administra- +ion. It is believed, Mr. Jermane says, that Dr. ilbur has not been completely happy in public office and would prefer to return to educational work. A Another reason advanced for the belief that Dr. Wilbur will return to Leland Stanford is financial. His salary as President of the University was $20,000 a year while that of Secretary of the Interior is only $15,000. salaries and was severely criticized for it. The Stanford Board refused to pay his salary during the second year. Further, a half dozen more years as President of Stanford would enable Dr. Wilbur to retire on a large pension. If another President is elected now that pension would not accrue. So there is even more than the $5,000 a year difference be- tween salaries at stake. \ LET THEM GO. Every now and then we hear some one shout that Mr. Raskob, Mr. Shouse and. others are ignor- ing in their discussions of party issues the dry Democrats of the South. It is being predicted that they will lose for the Democratic Party the votes of Southern States in the next Presidential election if they do not quit their war on Prohibition and its enforcement. The South, it is said, will vote Re- publican if the Democrats do not stand pat for the Eighteenth Amendment and its enforcement. The answer to that oyght to be easy. If the South has abandoned the old Jeffersonian principle ¥ State Rights it does not belong in the Demo- tic Party and ought to join up with some other. Ir. Raskob and Mr. Shouse are advocating sound doctrine when they favor the determina- of the question of liquor control in any State y that State itself, No real Democrat of the those in authority and hasten the ap-| They got | position of the For the first year he drew bom}!orms part of the fabric of one’s background, has | Jefferson school can look with favor upon some or‘ the States forcing majorities in other States to live under local conditions that are not of their own choosing. | We do not believe, however, that the South will permanently abandon Jeffersonianism at the ‘dmm:on of religio-fanatics. o PSDERONA S R S TS i | | Arch-Prohibitionist Senator Fess is now vexed| by a wayward son who becomes intoxicated and, |disputes police authority. Fess's experience is similar| to the experiences of many public men. Perhaps it would be a safe thing for one with sons to wait| until they grow up before accepting high office. | Sir Hubert Wilkins and his submarine got into trouble in the mid-Atlantic, and the journey to the; North Pole had hardly begun.

(New York Herald-Tribune) As Mr. Hoover said in his message at the un-| |veiling of the bust of President James Monroe, the| Monroe Doctrine was “conceived in the friendliest| spirit toward the struggling republics of Latin !Amenca." As Elihu Root said in his letter, it is| |a policy of peace—and, it may be added, of Ameri- can peace. | Peace is not a condition which can be either |created or maintained without effort, as is shown by the existence of the police in even those coun- tries having a most docile population. There are| places in the American hemisphere where the popu-| lation is so far from docile that the very soverzignty | of the nation is shaken to the extent of being some- | |times non-existent. Perhaps for this reason the | Monroe Doctrine wisely asserted the sovereignty of “the governments which have declared their inde- |pendence and maintained it.” ‘There are countries |in the hemisphere where independence is, to say the least, seriously jeopardized | Those who have followed the recent develop- |ments in Nicaragua will join with Mr. Root in say- |ing that it “is at least premature” to say that the |day of the Monros Doctrine has passed. Together {with the Washington-Jefferson policy of no en- tanglements with foreign countries, the doctrine is |a cardinal point of American foreign policy. In- |deed, if school children merely remember these two |points they need not know much more to appraise | |the political aspect of the United States in the | foreign field. | The Monroe Doctrine is so intimately related to |the growth and prosperity of the Americas that its framers can scarcely be commemorated too much. It is fitting and statesmanlike for Mr. Hoover to state his faith in it, especially at a time when a tendency to forgst it is occasionally discernible. | Liberty and the Press. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) As a restatement of the fundamental principle |of the freedom of the press, the Supreme Court’s |decision against the so-called Minnesota “gag law” |scarcely requires comment. So firmly grounded in American public life is the doctrine of a free press, |that the upholding of that principle may be taken for .granted. } | What is more significant is the the majority of the Court placed newspaper. With the problem of government steadily more complex, more beset with temptations and irregularities, Chief Justice Hughes | said, in effect, that the importance of an untram-{ meled press is even greater than when the Consti- | tution was framed. i This is at once a tribute to. the newspapers of emphasis which on the peculiar time since December. 18 holes varying in depth from 18| aska pioneer, For many years he was proprietor of a roadhouse on the Steese High- Hyder.

'\ (New York Times) “You will probably receive a shower of protest,” begins one raindrop in the cloudburst of protest ar- riving on the publication in The Times on Wednes- day of “A Memory,” over the name of Hilda Ad- rienne Mariani. It is irritating and humiliating to have a bit of verse so widely loved as the “Memory” of ‘T. B. Aldrich palmed off as an original piece of! work. On the other hand, it is gratifying to find so many readers who are faithful followers of poetry. i It is also good to know that indignation at plagiarism blazes freely in many hearts. “I hope you can devise a rebuke severe enough to restrain in the future so unblushing a plagiarist.” That is the tone of some dozens of letters. A few furious’ writers were astounded that the fraud could be per-| petrated at all. One knows just how they feel. Nothing is more surprising than to find that a| familiar saying or verse, known so long that it i HAAS E Famous Candies ,({ ' The Cash Bazaar I SAB’N S Open Evenings i { Everything in Furnishings < | * for Men AP J.
