ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER ( THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ) RETIREMENT OF JUSTICE OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. The resignation of Associate Justice Oliver Wen- dell Holmes from the United States Supreme Court is a matter to regret, though it will be readily ad- mitted that his right to retire is absolute. He has given splendid service to his country and continued it far beyond the years anyone had a right to expect of him. His term of service on the Supreme Court was more than twenty-nine years. He has quit as he was nearing his ninty-first birthday. He has earned the right of curcease from toil Only eight of the seventy-eight men who have been members of the United States Supreme Court since its organization in 1789 served longer than Justice Holmes. Justice Bushrod Washington of Virginia, nephew of the first President, appointed in | 1798, served thirty-one years; Chief Justice John Marshal, also of Virginia, appointed in 1801 con- | tinued to preside until his death in 1835, giving | thirty-four years of distinguished service to his country. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of Maryland, who succeaded Chief Justice Marshall, lived to exer- cise a tenure almost as long as that of Justice Holmes. Others to serve longer than Justice Holmes were Justice Joseph Story of Massachusetts, thirty- four years; Justice William Johnson of South Caro- lina, thirty years; Justicz John McLean of Ohio, thirty-two years; Justice James M. Wayne of Geor- gia, thirty-two years; Justice Stephen J. Field of | California, thirty-four years and Justice John M. Harlan of Kentucky, thirty-four years. Other Justices who have served for a quarter of a century or more include Chief Justice Taney, twenty-eight; Justice Gabriel Duval of Maryland, twenty-five; Justice John Catron of Tennessce, twenty-eight; Justice Samuel Nelson of New York, twenty-seven; Justice Samuel F. Miller of Iowa, twenty-eight; Justice Jossph McKenna of Califor- nia, twenty-seven. As Associate Justice for sixteen years and Chief Justice for eleven, Chief Justice Edward D. White spent twenty-seven years on the Supreme Court. All these men who were on the Supreme Court bench for a quarter of a century or more, and many who were not there so long, have through learning, patriotism and steadfast application to the perform- ance of duty done more to make the United States what she is than the average man is likely to recog- nize. But among them all, none has worked harder, with finer sense of duty or greater patriotism than Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes for nearly thirty years. A WISE MOVE. One of the best first steps toward restoring nor- mal conditions in the world is the American proposal for an international conference for the purpose of revising world tariffs downward. With Spain, Ttaly, the British Dominions, Argentina, Great Britain, France and other countries joining the United States in making all but prohibitive tariffs world trade is drying up. It is freezing at the source, and with trade between the nations becoming less and less international obligations are getting larger and larger. A specified debt might be an easy matter when the trade volume is large and become as big as a mountain when commerce declines. It is a matter of relativity. American exports in 1931 were more than one billion dollars less than they were in 1930, and they are growing less month by month. Other countries are experiencing a similar condition. The only thing that would get the countries of the world out of the depression would be to build up trade so that the debts would relatively appreciably shrink. With nations as with individuals a country doing a large business might carry a large debt much easier than one with little business could handle a small debt. It is encouraging to know that President Hoover approves the international tariff conference provision of the Democratic tariff bill. many will make it unanimous. there is curiosity as to what was offered to Hitler.

It may be taken for granted that this latter depends on a general improvement in world trade, which, again, is held back by Germany’s inability to meet her foreign obligations. The solution of the problem thus created is to be found in part in Paris and in part in Wash- ington. Paris, however, resolutely blinds herself to the urgency of the case, while the capital of the United States can think of world politics and cently went to Seattle to promote business in the States for the Air- ‘ways.

FENG reform has resulted in no action. i Billheads Prospects of action this year are better for sev- eral reasons. One reason is that the huge Federal deficit gives a sharper spur than ever before to the economy motive. Another reason is that the Democrats are in control of the House of Representatives. Demo- crats as Democrats are no purer and no more effi- cient, of course, than Republicans as such. But it so happens that the Democrats, for the first time since the war, have good prospects of winning a national election—provided they make a good show- ing in this session of Congress. If the Democrats can claim credit for Federal economies, that will be perfect campaign ammuni- tion. By the same token, it is to the political ad- vantage of the Republicans—now that the Demo- crats have embarked on an economy crusade—to show that the administration cannot be outdone in this matter. Therefore chances are fairly good for some measure of Federal administrative reorganization and Miss Bessie Allen Warfield has been chosen Librarian of the newly established Public Library at Pet- ersburg.

Gastineau and Rawn A Rocking Horse WHAT ABOUT SENATOR JONES? “Discipline,” says Mr. Jouett Shouse, the Democratic oracle, “is always at a low ebb in a retreating army.” He refers, of course, to the row that Congressional radicals, masked as Republicans, keep making over | every proposal of the President. It has been quite a while since Republicans counted those mischief-makers as part of the party forces. Senator Moses, with more heat than kindness, called some of them “sons of wild jackass.” Discipline means nothing to such.—(Seattle Times.) The Seattle Times's elucidation of the disrupted situation does not explain the insistent refusal of its friend, Senator Jones, to vote for the Republican President protempore. He has heretofore been regarded as a regular of regulars. And the reason given for Senator Jones's refusal ‘%0 vote for Senator Moses is that the latter ap- slied the famous “sons of wild jackass” to the ressional radicals, as Republicans,” s makes motion but no progress.

Another stunning blow to the associated Wille- brandt industries is the news that French Olympic athletes will seek permission to bring their native wine along next year to California.—(Detroit News.)
