AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT. The nomination of Judge Mackintosh for Judge of the United States Circuit Court is cause for jubilation in the Ninth Circuit. It is an ideal appointment. An able lawyer, a born jurist, a man of the highest characater, broad and tolerant, and one of the finest chaps that ever grew up in the West, he will make a great appellate Judge. “Kenny” Mackintosh is a true son of the West His father, Angus Mackintosh, was an early settler in Seattle, where he acquired property that made him wealthy. The son was given every possible advantage, but in spite of wealth. and the “easy going” that was his, Kenneth was democratic and a friend always of his boyhood chums. His confirmation by the Senate ought speedy and by unanimous vote. to be THREE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. At least the Democratic nomination for Dele- gate to Congress will not go begging. The announce- ment of Senator Anthony J. Dimond of Valdez makes the third tosenter the race in the primary election. Representative A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan was the first to make a formal announcement of his candidacy. He was followed by former Delegate George B. Grigsby of Ketchikan. All three are able Jawyers and all have had creditable experience in the public service. Senator Dimond says he abide by wishes~of ‘the coming Territorial Conventic I it wishes to endorse or nominate either Mr. Ziegler or Mr, Grigsby, he will not file his declaration of candidacy. He suggests, however, that inasmuch as both the Ketchikan candidates have announced their intention to file, whether or not they get an endorsement from the Territorial Convention, it would probably be better for the convention to make no choice. That seems fair enough. Senator Dimond is the first Democratic aspirant for Delegate from any Division but the First since the nomination of Judge Charles E. Bunnell in 1914. As far as known, Delegate, nomination, of Fairbanks intends to make the race primaries if he is not reappointed Judge. will the Judge Wickersham, the present is the only aspirant for the Republican though it is reported .that Judge Clegg the in NATIONAL FOREST AREA INCREAS The total area of National Forests registered a small gain in the last year, according to the Forest Service, United States Department of Agri- culture. At the close of the fiscal year on June 30, 1931, a total of 160,787,687 acres of National Forest land was under administration of the Federal Forest Service for the protection of watershed, forage, re- creation, and other forest values and for the con- tinuous production of timber cro) This was a gain of 696,870 acres over the net area of 160,090,817 acres at the close of the preced- ing fiscal year. The gross area of the National Forests on June 30, 1931, was 185,251,582 acres, some 25,000,000 acres of land within the boundaries of the National Forests being privately owned. There are now 151 National Forests, two more than there were a year ago. and also the | NO HALF-WAY MEASURES QHOULD E PREVAIL. | Women at the Democratic National Committee |meeting asked that more women delegates bs sent to the next National Convention. They | claim that there were only 82 women delegates| |at the Houston convention. This is important, and {while it is being considered we suggest there ought |to be more fat men and grey-eyed men sent as |delegates. We haven't figures on their represen- |tation at Houston but are impressed with the fact that if there is to be a meticulous division of dele- |gates based on personal characteristics there ought to be no half-way measures. There must be a |more exact division between fats and leans, |blonds and brunettes, brown and light eyes, red- 'heads and bald-heads, etc. A recent statement says there were 22,000 more |emigrants than immigrants in the United States| last year. The emigrants include 18,000 deporta- | tions and 47,000 who left voluntarily. | | If there were a few more Congressional va-| | cancies to fill that “slim” Democratic majority would soon become corpulent. { The Idea of Progress. (New York Herald Tribune.) | Is the common man happier today than in the reign of Augustus? Are we dying a slow death {from the poisons of industrialism? Ought we to give up all dreams of progress? Have our machines mastered us? Pulpit and speakeasy discussion of the idea of progress in timse like these is like a roadside debate beside the lifted hood, ten miles from the nearest garags. What we had taken for granted, without knowing what makes the wheels go round, has suddenly let us down. Poppa, cursing, fumbles here and there, the children begin to wail, and Momma says again, with fierce emphasis, what she has said so often, that the car should have been scrapped years ago. Reaching from the naive belief that progress is absolutely good and the more the better, tempera- mental optimism swings to the opposite extreme and swears that it never was any good anyway. Perha t is absolutely bad. We let prosperity and |adversity argue the question for us, like the af- firmatives and negatives of a high-school debating team, while good sense might be operating in both cases to prove that neither side is or need be right for any practical purposes. Nothing seems more improbable today, nothing is more certain in the light of experience than that we shall have to face prosperity again one of these days. Perhaps our time is short and we shall encounter it again as ill prepared as we were before. Why not table the question, then, whether prog- ress is good or bad absolutely, and discuss how much of it we can stand without blowing out a cylinder-head gasket, a highly complex problem that must be solved in the last resort by responsible heads of business and government, but one that public opinion, disciplined to good sense by recent events, might furnish a promising background for by expecting not a four-car-garage civilization over night by orderly and well proportioned growth in private fortunes and in general industrial progress. Certainly nothing fails like too much progress | all of a sudden. | Seattle Greatest Export Apple Port. (Seattle Times.- Baltimore makes the cheerful prediction that be- fore January 1 nearly 500,000 barrels of apples will have started on their way to foreign markets from that port. Since a barrel is equivalent to three of ‘Washington'’s boxes, the record as an apple port is indeed impressive. However, Seattle is still far and way in the lead; last year the volume of ap- ples shipped through this port was more than twice as great as that predicted for Baltimore in 1931, Four Americans so far have been named to the Geneva Arms Conference meeting.
