(Ketchikan Chronicle.) Convincing an outside world that anything done Alaskans is done right resolves itself into a sk that isn't as easy as it may seem at first to those of us who make our homes in these parts. Our viewpoint is quite distinctly ours alone. WhlchI is, in principle, doubtless quite proper.

Everyone knows this poem. It begins “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, | Between the cross The Chronicle has long believed that the brown bear, even if he's not a pleasant trail companion for ordinary mortals, nevertheless is a great draw- ing card. He and his kind are worth a great deal to Alaska, and to the Nation.

In England thirty million poppies are sold each | Armistice Day and approximately $2,500,000 raised | for relief work. With the American sale and sales in other parts of the world, poppy funds total nearly $5,000,000 annually. Everybody should contribute to the poppy sale— each according to his means. Every penny con- tributed will be accounted for and used as it is intended to be used. PLANTS GROW RAPIDLY IN “CLIMATE | MACHINE.” A “climate machine,” which regulates the light, humidity, temperature, air velocity, and soil moisture so accurately that practically any 2limatic condition can be reproduced, is used by the United States De- partment of Agriculture to speed up plant research work. By use of this device soybeans, sugar-beets, and Public opinion in the Territory would have a difficult time in accepting the creation of a mere bear sanctuary on such a huge slice of potential industrial ground. But the reaction aroused toward the proposal, as evidenced by the New York Herald |Tribune, has a distinct negative effect. It is pos- sible that tactics less blunt and cocksure—which seem to have characterized activities on both sides of the fence—might be better for all concerned, in- cluding the brown bear itself. Finland Reports. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) For what it is worth, and as an item of interest touching upon the persistent Prohibition controversy, attention is called to the results of Finland's wet law as it has operated to date. News from Helsingfors is to the effect that drunkenness already has been strikingly minimized, |the number of arrests for that infirmity greatly |reduced. So say the daily police reports. | Too, it is said, the number of consumers in other plans have been grown to maturity and by |liquor shops has gradually diminished and constables regulation of the illumination and other conditions jare no longer kept on duty outside the shops as it is possible to greatly speed up flowering and other features of growth. The plants are grown with artificial light in inclosed compartments. The Department has experimented for several years with artificial light in giving plants a daily light period greater or less than the normal day length, and the “climate machine” is the newest feature to be perfected for use in these investiga- they were in the first days after Prohibition in Finland ended. Finland, after unhappy experience, returned to the wet column on April 5, after thirteen years of Prohibition, in obedience to a popular referendum vote in December, in which a majority of more than three to one was recorded against a con- tinuance of the Prohibition policy.

The new tariffs for which Mr. Chamberlain pre- pared us in his budget speech were announced on Friday and came into force on Monday.
