MR. BRADLEY DESERVES AWARD. To the list of names of famous engineers who have been recipients of the Willlam Lawrence Saunders Gold Medal is shortly to be added that of Frederick W. Bradley, President and guiding genius of the | Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, Bunker Hill and allied interests. It is for his work in con- nection with the Alaska Juneau that the award was recently made by a committee of 16 members of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. The medal will be presented to him at the next annual meeting of the Institute. The basis of the award of the medal, which was first offered in 1927 and has been bestowsd annually thereafter, is “for distinguished achievement in mining.” And the deed for which Mr. Bradley was selected for the honor was the evolution of the low cost mining and milling system of operations in the Alaska Juneau's local properties and plant, No one questions that this was, and still is, an outstanding engincering accomplishment. It is one of the wonde's of the mining world. In working out that system, Mr. Bradley earned the right to have his name added to the roll containing those of Herbert Clark Hoover, now President of the United States, David Wuiliam iicwton, invenior of the compass that bears his namc, John Hays Hammond, Daniel C. Jackling and Francis Willlam Maclennan. The later was awarded the medal for this year for the development of low cost mining operations in the copper mining industry. HOOVER PRAISES NEW YORK TIMES. The New York Times recen ly celebrated Iits eightieth birthday. Iits owner, Adolph Ochs, under whose able directicn i* has become one of the great- est institutions of its kin< anywhere, was the recip- ient of many coiratulatory greetings. One was a letter from Presiaent toover which had some strik- ing things to say abou‘ the place of the press in the nation’s life, as well as praise for the Times. The President’s lctter said: The most obvious thing in democracy is that it cannot uuction except when accom- panied by a free and constructive press. Our Government is and must be responsive to the will of the people expressed through con- sidered public opinion. That expression is more guided and revealed through the press than any other agency, but it implies great responsibility on the prcss that the news shall be accurately presented without bias or color, that the public may have an opportunity of formulating its views on the actual facts, and that its expressed opin- jon shall be based upon considered and con- structive editorial suggestions. Any news- paper, great or small, that accurately dis- seminates information aids in the promotion of good government and in the sound de- velopment of the nation. All these are truisms of self government but vitally im- portant. The New York Times has always been a conspicuous example of accurate re- porting by impartial and far-flung news gathering facilities. The space it devotes to national and international affairs is a great and constructive contribution. The con- scientiousness of its editorial expression is notable whether we agree with it or not. I wish to congratulate it on the observance of its eightieth anniversary. The Times deserves every word uttered by Mr. Hoover. It is a great newspaper, one of the great- cst. It is sane, conservative without being reac- tionary, and has earned and merits a reputation for the utmost reliability in its presentation of the news of the world. Its success from a business standpoint is not less than as a purveyor of news. May it ever continue to grow and prosper! GOV. RITCHIE IS CONSISTENT. In his address recently before the American Bar Association, Gov. Ritchie, of the Free State of Mary- tand, in taking a strong stand in opposition to ownership and operation of public utilities by the Federal Government, was merely being consistent. Throughout his entire public career as Chief Execu- tive of Maryland he has fought the battle of State Rights, voicing on every occasion a protest against encroachment by the Federal Government on the powers of the individual commonwealths. The power questicn, which today looms as a possible issuc in the 1932 national elections, is poten- tially charged with Dbigca explosive for thos: men- tioned as candidates for the Presidential nomina- tion. Gov. Pinchoi, Pcnnsylvania's thorn in the side of the Republican Purly, would have it for the issue in chief, as would Senator Norris whom some organization Republicans unsuccessiully sought to read out of the party earlier this year. Gov. Roosevelt, who looks like a safe bet for the Demo- cratic nomination, is flirting with the same ques- tion but not so ardently as the other two. Gov. Ritchie's argument is powerful. Speaking from experience, which he cites, he argues that State Governments now have all the power they need to cope with utility corporations, and that to surrender it to the Fedcral Government would make Daily A’aslzg Em piré 3 | tion.
