It is not often that people get such a pleasurcable thrill from an item of news as was caused by the dispatches yesterday bringing the word that the Aviators Moyle and Allen were safe and well and would soon be again associating with relatives and friends In the United States. For nearly a week it was believed that they were lost and would not again be seen alive. The reaction when they were discovered was Instantaneous and enthusiastic. The success in locating these American fliers adds to the hope that the German airmen Rody and Johannsen and the Spaniard Viege who took off from Portugal last Sunday in the Lisbon to New York flight may yet turn up alive and well. ES AWAY. A multitude of Alaskans in the Territory and out of it heard with sincere regret of the death of Willlam B. King, former prominent resident of Skagway, where he rendered efficient service as Mayor and City Councilman and in all civic matters. He was a man of unusual ability and always was public spirited. He made hosts of friends in Skagway, Yukon Territory and Northern ] British Columbia where his duties as auditor of the White Pass and Yukon Route took him. Be- | fore coming to the White Pass he was an auditor in the service of the Great Northern. Bill King was a good mixer as well as a re- markably efficient man. Whatever he undertook he did well, and wherever went he made friends that remained so until the end. Although he has not resided in Alaska for nearly a score of years, he never lost interest in or friendship for the Territory. A GOOD ALASKAN PASE FISH THAT LAY EGGS ll\} TREES. s Among its other wonders, California re- ports a fish that lay. Iits eggs on the branches of trees. Almost anything inter- esting may be believed of California, but this seems too much, on the face of Iit. Note, however, that the branches must be broken off and under water. — (Seward Gateway.) One does not have to go to California to find fish that lay eggs in the branches of trees. Alaska herring do that very thing. DAN BEARD’S TITLE RECOGNIZED. Daniel Carter lvard, American writer whose special forte is ecailier history and delineator of American frontier lifc and conditions in the nine- tenth century, has finally been recognized as the real father of the Boy Scouts. Heretofore, some had bestowed the title on Gen. Sir Robert Baden- Powell, but we have Baden-Powell himself as author- ity that the real honor belongs to the American. Few volces were ralsed in prot:st when at the . celebration for Baden-Powell in England, with hon- & ors and additional titles by the King, this organiza- tion was credited to England and to Baden-Powell by correspondents, press agent: and propagandists. Yet, at the first banquet of the Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America, Sir Robert, acknowl- edged his own indebtedness to Dan Beard: ¢ i I am not the father of the Boy Scouts movement. 1 might be called its uncle. I looked at what the United States were doing, read some of Beard's books on var- jous plans * * * cribbed from them right and left and started the Boy Scouts of England. Moreover, he did this three years after 1905, when Beard had called into being an organization with thousands of boys as members. _ Yet, it was as a boy in Covington, Kentucky, during the Civii War when learning from the goldiers much of out-of-door life Beard and his fel- Jows played at scouting, deriving inspiration from Boone and Simon Kenton. Later Beard ced the seris of magazine articles and which have turned each generation to scout- and woodcraft. of Kentucky recently invited d to be the guest of honor at the Kentucky " Capital for the purpose of calling attention righ' be regarded eve or. of Boy Scouts. It uld do so, for Beard was a Kentl in Cincinnati, but reared the to the T in the circumstance that the vintage of Rhine wine has been christened Hoover the American President.

T stly of a_ pre ‘»L?uil» 1 short-term issues and as a presumptive alterna to more Federal taxation—at least just [ yet | There could be no more vivid commentary on !the new estate of the Treasury than a need ‘o place now $800,000,000 18-24-year 3% bonds and| $300,000,000 certificatse, following earlier issues this year of $800,000,000 3%% and $500,000000 3%% bonds. In conjunction with thz certificate issue, there ill be a net increase in the gross pub) debt of $465000,000 after the payment of Septem- ber maturities. The long-term debt will be raised from $13,534,000,000 to $14,334,000,000. | The large value of these current issues, to care for the requirements of coming months, which have nad to be thus liberally allowed *for, suggests readily the basic cause. Its name Is deficit—$903,000,000 for the fiscal twelve-month, and now $378,000,000 for two ensuing months. That reflects thz lean revenue returns in a day of depression, at the same | |time that a record low 3% bond rate illustrates the |notable ease of money rates also attending de- | pression § | | There has been a dramatic change from the| time preceding 1930 when the Treasury was com-| fortable, and when a favorite Congressional sport | | was taunting Secretary Mellon when prospérity | | produced even larger revenues than he had ex-| !pecu'd Then our debt had kept on going down; now it must go up. And now the deficits are at taining proportions which sternly suggest that this |is no season for any more Treasury-raiding under| whatever pretext. Recasting of the Treasury obligations into lung-: er terms is of course the wise as well as ex-| pedient procedure. Europe has in more than one| country—whence Mr. Mellon has just returned—| furnished forcible examples of the unwisdom of an| unwieldly mass of short-term commitments. And a/| 13% rate for 20 to 24 years is distinctly attractive. | Behind which may wait, according as revenues and neds may run, the still open question of tax-| ation. . Perhaps deferment now means intent to| awalt-a needed revamping of the whole tax basis. Trailing Bigotry. (New York World-Telegram.) The Senate's dreary investigation of Virginia's political-minded Bishop, which has dragged on for s0 many months, is still interesting in one important aspect. Until the country knows how much or how little the Republican National Committee had to do with Bishop Cannon's campaign of bigotry in 1928 the subject should not be dropped. There is no question that religious bigotry played a prominent part in the Presidential campaign. The question is how much of it was inspired, sponsored or condoned by the party managers. It is interesting to know that C. Bascom Slemp. Republican National Committeeman from Virginia, helped Bishop Cannon obtain $65,000 from Edwin C. Jameson for the anti-Smith fight, and that Mr. Jameson thereafter was recommended by Slemp and others for appointment to the Hoover Cabinet. Likewise interesting is the discovery of a $10,000 check given Cannon by former Senator Freling- huysen. But the most important facts are still unknown —how Bishop Cannon spent the money, why he seeks to keep secret all his 1928 operations and who actually was responsible for him. City Names. (Seattle Times.) . Any schoolboy today who doesn’t know the names of the various National and State capitals has a good alibi; few of his elders know them The Times Information Bureau has a special clerk doing nothing else and is six countries behind at the hour of going to press. Peking was changed to Peiping, Canton is to be called Bunyd, Harbin will become Pinkiang; the Constantinople that was is Istanbul, and Queentown is now Cobh, begorry. Ekaterinburg came into some unfavorable advertising when the Czar was murdered there and is now Sverdlovsk. Oslo is the current name for Christiania. Office stationery has to be scrapped regularly in St. Petersburgs, which was first Petrograd and then Leningrad, with Stalin- grad, doubtless, on the way. In our own State Slaugter was long ago changed to Auburn, and there is an impression that Carnation is to supplant Tolt. Another peculiar thing is that we refuse to call European cities by their right names. We change Wein to Vienna, Venezia to Venice, Roma to Rome, Muenchen to Munich, and Napoli to Naples, for no reason at all. We wouldn't like it if the Europeans came over here and manhandled out municipal nomenclature that way. Now it 1is reported that some unprincipled scoundrels are selling counterfeit wine bricks, which makes a revival of some of the old gold brick jokes pratically certain.—(Boston Globe.) Ten college professors will now study the ef- fects of Prohibition, which ought ‘to yleld at least ten new conclusions on the subject.—(Seward Gate- way.) It's going to be an obstacle to social gatherings of Ohio Sheriffs if Prohibition enforcing officers are to be nosing about.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.) It would be a fine thing for everybody if all the farmers could get their neigbors to cut down a little on production.—(Port Angeles News.) Fewer Americans are touring Europe this year, but they are probably enjoying every drop of it.— (Olympia Olympian.) » | hd LANDEDGENTRY ~ RererceRumor OF SPAIN MUST < “REPAY” ACRES Republican Government Makes Call to ““Set- ! tle” Debts ' | MADRID, Sept. 17— Spanis families who have been basking for centuries on the fat lands loaned by former kings in return for fi- nanci /ices, have been called upo: Republican officials to ‘cettle their debts.” A department of justice decree, v h needs only the sanction of assembly for its enactment, re- |quires that lands borrowed from {the state on the above terms be re- d within six months Cash Brings Titles | The decree itself explains that in olden es Spanish kings were to farm out miles of rty as ity for dn- e royal c tance. Titles often were with the transactions, and with a few thousand spare could become favored fig- the royal courts. republican decree is based on the conviction that revenues from the loaned properties have | more than recompensed the present ders for the cash outlay of their' ’ predecessors. i “Only by culpable negligence are ! these properties now outside state patrimony,” says the degree. Will Pursue Delinquents Legal machinery will be set up to insure accurate accountancy in 7 the liquidations. However, no of- ficial will hazard a guess concern- ing the total value of the property to be returned. It is believed in the department of justice that church organizations often figured in these transfers.
