ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. UNRELIABLE PROHIBITION PROPAGANDA. The Union Sig labeled “official organ of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, contains the following in its June 27th edition: ATTEMPT OF WETS TO REPEAL ALASKA'S DRY LAW MEETS DEFEAT “An attempt during the recent session of the Alaska Legislature to repeal the so-called Bone Dry Law resulted in strengthening rather than weakening the act,” says The Christian Science Monitor. An amendment ‘ which was passed unanimously in both houses, empowered the United States Com- | missioner’s court to try, convict and pro- nounce sentence upon all found guilty of | violating the law. The repeal measure was carried unan- jmously in the House but was blocked in the | Senate because those interested in Prohibi- i tion and law enforcement had sufficient | time to rally their forces, and so strong was the pressure brought to bear upon the | Legislature that it proceeded, not to repeal | the dry law, but to strengthen it. Which illustrates the lack of reliability behind‘ much of the propaganda that makes the rounds of | the dry press. The fact is the Alaska Senate passed | the Alaska Bone Dry repeal law by a unammousw vote. It went up to the Senate from the House which it had passed by an overwhelming majority. | It was signed by Gov. George A. Parks, and only| to become the requires affirmation by Congress law of the land. i About the only important fact in the Union, Signal item is the declaration that those interested | in Prohibition “had sufficient time to rally their forces.” They were rallied and failed to get a| single vote against the repeal measure. It might be well to add that the Bone Dry repeal measure was not sprung as a surprise. It had sentiment for it is indisputably overwhelming. NOT A MAN HUNT The National Republican Club of New York City has refused to be drawn into a proposed fight against Mayor Walker. This is due to the high character | of the membership of that organization and the, wholly ethical character of the Club itself. In thlsA instance perhaps the manner in which those who | had made charges were scorched by the Mayor has helped the Club to keep some of the more partisan of the members within the ethical stands of the | National Republican Club. This stand of the National Republican Club caused the investigators conducting the New York inquiry that is in progress to declare: While guilt, if discovered, cannot be ignored, we are not out to see how many indictments we can secure, how many private lives we can pry into or how many rascals we can pillory. This is not a man hunt. The New York World-Telegram, this statement, said: It will be greatly to the credit of New York if the inquiry can be kept throughout on this sane, consistent plane. The probe is not seeking victims. It is seeking facts that may point the way to better municipal government. commenting on FILIPINOS SEEING ANOTHER SIDE. For many years Filipino politicians have been clamoring for independence, thereby winning elec- tion after election. Now things are changing. There has developed among those in the United States who do not relish competition with tariff free Phil- ippine sugar, cotton, tobacco, vegetable oils, etc., and unlimited immigrant Filipino labor a strong sentiment in favor of granting the long asked for freedom from American domination through Philip- pine independence. That is different. Filipinos are not nearly as sure as they were that the American | yoke is irksome. Freedom from Uncle Sam’s leash is much less attractive. They are wondering what they will do for eats and clothes and other things that American civilization has taught them to regard as necessities if they should be denied free entry into American markets and into America. A Manila newspaper puts it this way: Qur leaders possess an uncanny trading instinct. When America was reluctant to consider Philippine independence, they nat- urally and logically pegged their demands high. They knew they would not get every- thing. But now that there is an earnest disposition on the part of America to grant independence, they are beginning to come out with their honest expectations. There is no inconsistency; but simply natural trad- ing ability. An American Congressional Committee is on its way to the Philippines to investigate the situation, and the Seattle Times comments: “The | bers of Congress who now ad- vocate pmldfl'fl from the islands are not Douglas, Treadwell and | entitied to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to credited in this paper and also the €| future |loned cours | development, minus any parallel recognition of con- independence might well be dropped. It has been suggested that one reason the Demo- crats favor State Rights may be the fact that most Republicans, one Farm-Labor and one Independent. The latter is Gov. Julius L. Meier of Oregon. Chinese bandits have captured an American teacher and declare they will hold him prisoner {until he has taught them the English language. {Unless he does botter work than many teachers do at home he will be a prisoner for a long time. | It is interesting to note how hard most of those people who do not wish the Democrats to win the next election are working to prevent the nomina- tion of Gov. Roosevelt for President. Art in Schools. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) While the criticism is not particularly applicable to conditions in Cincinnati, the observations of Dean Meeks, of Yale, are of interest and worthy of note. Though he feels that art has come to stay in the university curriculum, Dr. Meeks deplores that Am- |erican colleges and universities have been, and still |are, too prone to ignore modern art. The product i”f these institutions should be the creators, in| {many cases, and the patrons of the art of the| ence a fundamental insight into prin- |ciples, a knowledge of beauty in the past and an | understanding of methods should go with them from |the school institutions into the world at the end of | ‘Ime college career. The Dean would reach all phases of mind, in |this respect would strive for tolerance and under- |standing—to build for the future. He believes in | the possibility of bringing forth and producing an |art expression in America which is truly representa- tive of contemporary life. Dean Meeks believes that the time has come to break down the barriers surrounding the old-fash- in . history, as we have heretofore understood the term. He holds that history has ignored art; that too much—an unnatural—emphasis | has been placed on military, political and economic temporary phases of art. But, so he believes, this is passing—must pass. But, while much that the Dean says is true, none should know better than he that art is the child of War and Economics. He should know of | what followed the Crusades, the Italian rejuven- escene; of the Napoleonic era, of Germany’s artis- tic upgrowth, of the undying story of Greece. Somehow we have learned of these things. Beauty is immortal. The art songs sung in the soul will | find some adequate expression in every age. America |is young, but already her claim to artistic production and distinction is a proud one—one in which Cin- cinnati has conspicuous part. Cosmology. AIR TRANSPORT GROWTH STEADY '~ REPORT SHOWS “Novelty” Traffic Attracts, Then Gives Way to | and steady growth, according to figures compiled by the Aeronau- tical Chamber of Commerce the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Preliminary figures comparing operations in the first quarter or 1931 with the first quarter of 1980 ! compiled from reports of 32 air transport companies showed an in- crease of 2,581,013 in scheduled | mileage; an increase of 2,383,000 | actual mileage flown or 18 per cent; an increase of 276,094 in alr| | mail poundage; a decrease of 8- 438 in passengers carried; an in-| crease of 1413435 in passenger | miles flown, an increase of 47 :nar-“ age miles per passenger. | Fall Off Reason Although there was a drop in| the total number of passengers, established lines showed an in- crease. the report revealed, the fall-off was in new lines which started in 1930 and for the first; few months had a heavy “novelty” traffic. I'ne aviation bureau considered this an unusual showing during the depression. While air trans- nortation is more expensive (about 7 cents a mile per passenger), the saving of time apparently justi- fied its use, the report showed. Another significant fact shown was the increase in length of the average passenger trip. Improvement Shown The improvement in the per- formance of the air transport was also demonstrated. Weather dur- ing the first quarter was the worst in the year. (93 per cent of incompleted mileage was due to it) and yet 885 per cent of the scheduled service was completed in 1931 as against 867 per cent m‘ 1930. Another dB ded development in aviation servi was the an- nounced pu"uupmmn of the Nev\| England Railroad in air trans par-l tation. BID WANTED FOR SOAPSTONE MAIL Perhaps the residents at Soap- stone Point, one of the marine compass statlons on the norther= (New York Times.) We note with mingled grief and pleasure that at/ Galveston on Tuesday the title of “Miss Universe” | was won by “Miss Belgium,” who in private life | is Mlle. Netta Duchateau, aged 17. She defeated “Miss United States,” who is Anne Lee Patterson | of Ludlow, Ky., after several ballots by the jury. Our regret is naturally due to sympathy for the large number of our countrywomen participating in Galveston's International Pageant of Beauty. Our pleasure is stirred by the fine sportsmanship which impels an American jury to bestow the coveted prize on a foreigner. This is not the first time it has happened. One recalls in the very recent past an |attractive “Miss Austria” who came to Galveston, or to Miami or one of our other shrines of beauty, and won the title of “Miss Universe.” Whether Galveston's “Miss Universe” is as uni- versal as the name would suggest is a matter of some doubt. Last August, as the newspaper records show, an American “Miss Universe” was crowned ati Galveston in the person of “Miss United States,” who was Dorothy D. Goff of New Orleans. But this was followed by the consecration in September of another “Miss Universe” at Rio de Janeiro. That year, therefore, the situation in the realm of beauty | approximated the Einstein-Eddington-Shapley scheme of a multiplicity of universes. And there really seems to be no reason why, in the course of time, every ambitious and thriving city should not have its own “Miss Universe,” just as every up-and-com- ing scientist nowadays has his own universe. To the present column it seems quite proper that some day the Nobel Prize shall be bestowed on the municipality of Galveston or Miami or Atlantic City for giving to the world a more than exceptionally attractive “Miss Universe.” This much is certain: The universal discoveries at Galveston, Miami and Atlantic City are much easier to look at than the usual new universe sub- mitted by Professor Einstein for the approval of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. From year to year the pictures in the Sunday supplements look better and better. It is not at all true that the “Miss Universe” are running down, as Professor Eddington suggests, or that they are speeding away from the vicinity of this terrestrial globe. In the contrary, they frequensly go on the musical comedy stage or get married to financiers. But that is, of course, because we get only two or three “Miss Universes” a year, whereas the universes turned out by the scientists come every Monday and “Thursday.
