Holzworth the Federal Government to rescind its timber con- tracts on Admiralty Island and set it aside as a sanctuary for brown and grizzly bears, if successful, would inflict a serious setback to the next step in the industrial development of the Territory. Some of the members of the Fourth Estate are lending their aid to the furtherance of Mr. Holzworth’s campaign. The trend of their editorial expressions make plain that they have accepted without question his statements about near-extermination of the Alasak brown bear. The New N. J., Evening News tells its read, ers the bea ‘facing. extinction.” The Phila- delphia Inquirer asserts thatthe “natives . use poison” to kill them off, ‘Asserting ther2 is “almost no protetion,” the New York Herald Tribune serts positively they are “being Killed off at a rate which they cannot survive,” and the New York Eveni Post agrees with its contzmporary by say- ing, “they are threatened with extinction.” The Editor of the Times-Picayune, New Orleans, who thinks Mr. Holzworth probably correct in saying, “Yell at him at the top of your voice and | he will retrzat,” shows more gulllibility than most of his fellows. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle notes with uneasiness the bears are “in grave danger of extinc- tion,” and the News, Albany, N. Y. unreservedly declares “he should be saved from extinction.” The News Sun, Springfield, Ohio, concludes Congressignal Agrees—Heartily,” declares whose movement are as- is intervention is nece: since “almost certain ex- | tinction is now f them.” “People do not need | the skins,” they ought to wear woolsn garments, urges the Daily Capitol Journal, Pierre, S’ D .

Without exception these editorial writers have | based their support of the movement on the Lheoryf that the big bears are rapidly being depieted.

The Chattanooga News recently reprinted an editorial from The Empire in which this paper contended that President Andrew Johnson ought to be honored in this Territory equally with his Secre- tary of State Willlam H. Seward in connection with the purchase of Alaska. The Empire editorial closed with the suggestion: While Alaska cannot extend too many s to the name of Seward, it ought by to s:t upon the pedestal beside mory of the sturdy Andrew John- Seward's superior officer and his per- sonal friend superior officer and his personal friend Commenting on The Empire editorial, The Chat- tanooga News said: ns Belated honors to Andrew Johnson are likely to become more numerous as his record is appreciated by the people.

We shall see whether Mr. Mize works with the book. Prohibition Source of Kidnaping Racket. (New York Herald Tribune.) Kidnaping as a racket—that is {o say, as a pro- fessional pursuit of underworld gangs—seems to have had its origin as recently as 1926. Like most of the other rackets with which the American scene is cursed, it began as a by-product of the illicit liquor traffic. ¥ The explanation is simple enough. The liquor traffic, with its vast revenue and its popular sup- port, has corrupted the official world. Those who engage in it are the protected favorites of their partners in authority. But this partnership does not and cannot stop with the Volstead violation. |It is bound to cover any activity which its bene- ficiaries select, since, no matter on what charge they may be arested, they are in a position to ex- {pose the system. Once protected, always protected. {Hence, the proliferation of rackets, including that 1of murder, to say nothing of kidnaping. . . . | Good citizens who grind their teeth at the hideous |menace to their homes and liberty involved in this |enthronement of crime will do well to consider its {underlying cause. Kidnapings are nothing new, nor are other outrages on the peace of the community, !but it is no mere coincidence that with the pro- | gressive failure of the Prohibition experiment their perpetration has become a national scandal. The Eighteenth Amendment, like a rotten apple in a barrel, has tainted our whole civic order. Its re- |moval is a prerequisite to the reestablishment of | security. In Old Kentucky. (Miami News.) A glimpse of what is taking place in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky, as well, as in the out- lside world where the horse is lovéd and admired, |is provided in the eighth annual thoroughbred and (livestock edition of The Lexington Herald. ! Despite distressing industrial and economic con- |ditions, here is one field of endeayor that has shown no backward step, and but little, if any, re- trenchment. The automobile, quickly springing into favor as the nation’s most popular method of trans- portation, has undergone a tremendous reduction in both price and production within the last two years. The horse, man’s oldest form of transportation, has held his own. Theré has been no cheapening of “models” to meet a declining market, because the market for the best to be had in horse flesh has not lost ground throughout the stress and storm of a two-year world-wide depression. The fine old traditions of a fine old State. are closely interwoven with the thoroughbred. ‘ Singular as it may seem, one thinks first of Kentucky when one thinks in terms of horse-flesh. Famed in song and story for her beautiful women and the choicest of tobaccos, the Blue Grass State has yet been forced to share these honors with sister States. But her fame as the foremost producer of thoroughbred horses is in no greater danger today than it has been at any time in the past. There has been no tendency to mix or cheapen strains in the Blue Grass. Kentucky has set the standard, and she has never lost sight of it. There can be no substi- tute for a thoroughbred Hoarders are guilty of the sin of idledollartry. Gastineau Hotel Bldg.
