D. BALDWIN. In honor of the late Leonard D. Baldwin, New | York City financier, whose interest in the reindecr| industry of the northwest in connection with the( Lomen interests is a familar story to Alaskans, the Natonal Geogrpahic Board has named an 80-mile tengue of land Baldwin Peninsula. It is located in the Kotzebue Sound district, centering in Lati- tude 86 degrees, 22 minutes North, and Longitude 162 degrees and 15 minutes West. Contributions amounting to some $2,000,000 were made by Mr. Baldwin and his brother, Arthur Baldwin, also of New York City, to the promotion and development of the reindeer nidustry in this Territory, an industry started in the ’90s by Dr. in the welfare of the aboriginal people of the northwestern section of the Territory led to the introduction of reindeer there. Initiated as a means of supplying food to Lhesel people, the reindeer herds of today are far in| Deer poor, they have been faced for a number of years with turning the surplus into cash. It was the dream of Mr. Baldwin and his associates| to furnish the necessary opportunities to them to| bring that about. He and his brother have invested | heavily, and so far without financial return. That| did not discourage him 'In his lifetfmeé. Realizing | that time was an essential requirement, he was| content to wait. He believed in the country, in its potential greatness, and in the future of the indus- try in which he had invested a fortune.

CURBING GUN “TOTERS.” Canadians hereafter are apt to be more careful about packing pistols around in their hip pockets. A law just passed at Ottawa fixes a penalty of five years imprisonment for anyone convicted of carrying concealed weapons without first having obtained a permit so to do. Canada is proceeding on the theory that citizens have a right to own pistols but that those who carry them on their persons must have a license, and in order to obtain that good and sufficient reasons must first be established. the Post Office 1n Juneau as Second Class | months, in advance, | excess of their food and clothing requh‘ements“ the last word in banking deflation. They reason that the losses could not be escaped, and that the prospect for recovery is im- proved by getting them over with. Reacting in this manner, they have met the ecrisis | with courage and hope. It is demonstrated | that sound measures, however drastic, will " win the cooperation of the people, and if these measures are administered as they deserve to be there will be no question as to restoration of order in the credit situation. | As a rule the understanding by the Am- erican people of the banking function is of a high order. For the most part they know that they cannot all at the same time de- mand the repayment of their bank deposits in cash without pulling down the entire banking situation, with incalculably dis- astrous effects upon the business of the country and upon themselves. With all this understanding, however, the instinct of self- protection is strong in an individual. He may have the inclination to cooperate, but in times of alarm and distrust he does not know what other individuals are doing, and is likely to feel that immediate protection for himself and his dependents is of more importance than any contribution he can make to the general situation. The tendency of individuals to give way to this reason- ing in times of stress is everywhere recogn- ized, and banking officials and statesmen are expected to take account of it in their policies. Real Centralization. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The order of President Roosevelt consolidating all farm credit agencies into the “Farm Credit Ad- ministration” is the new President’s first step in the direction of real centralization of governmental func- tions. It terminates certain -powers of the con- solidated bureaus and places the remainder of them virtuaily in the hands of one man, the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration. The consolidation should effect a considerable saving by putting an end to various overlapping bureaus. But it does more. The costly and futile stabilization operations of the Farm Board, which cost the Government ap- proximately $330,000,000, are ended by the order. The Farm Board itself is in effect abolished, all of its members except the Chairman losing out. The same is true of the Farm Loan Board. Functions of the Farm Loan Bureau, the Farm Loan Board, the Department of Agriculture, the Crop Production Office the Seed Loan Office and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation directed |toward extending aid to farmers are transferred Sheldon Jackson, Alaska missionary and general| agent for the Interior Department, whose interest| |ing to the President, will be to save $2,000,000, but to the new Farm Credit Association. The first result of this consolidation, accord- more important, in his opinion, will be the strength- ening of the Government-supervised system of co- operative agricultural credit. It would appear that the consolidation will ac- complish the aim sought by Mr. Roosevelt. It con- centrates great power in the hands of one man, and at a bold stroke sweeps aside the debris of several costly failures. Hot Dogs of Another Breed. (New York Herald-Tribune.) “The Franks, the Franks! They are upon us now,” cried the hosts of the Basques at Roncevaux |as Charlemange’s legions turned to .avenge the deaths of Roland and his peers, and residents of the hill towns of Connecticut may well echo their taken to abolish the vulgar hot dog and substitute brash implications of beach-resort cheapness latent in the popular name of “enrolled sausages,” the Litchfield Hills Association asserts that it will not rest until every placard, pamphlet and other form of propaganda advertising the product is removed Inot alone from the Nutmeg State but from all New England, and the name “frank” established in its place. However well intentioned such a move may be, and there may be ample justification for it in the lovely countryside of midstate Connecticut, it is probable that the reformers who have charged themselves with this mission are going to have their troubles. “Hot dog” may be offensive, it may be slang, but it is pretty firmly established in the |American vernacular, is almost universally accepted from Portland to Pasadena and, like “cop” or “flivver,” would be a hard phrase to eradicate from Generally speakiyg, law-abiding citizens are not|ihe national consciousness. It's not the frankfurter in the habit of carrying concealed weapons. Law- less individuals, of course, are not so scrupulous. In the future, however, the gunmen of the Dominion are apt to be less inclined to arm themselves by reason of the penal term-they incur if they are caught with guns in their possession. GREATEST CRISIS PASSES. The banking crisis through which the country passed last month was the greatest and most severe the nation ever has experienced, declares the Na- tional City Bank of New York, in its current month- ly publication devoted to economic and financial matters. It credits the sanity and co-operation with which the people met the situation to the “decisive leadership” of President Roosevelt. In part the New York bank, one of the largest in the world, said: The banking crisis which the United States has surmounted during Mareh ex- ceeded in magnitude and severity any other financial crisis the country has ever ex- perienced, and the decisiveness with which leadership has been exercised and a na- tional discipline enforced has received uni- versal acclaim. The crisis unified the coun- try; and with this unqualified support the Government struck to the heart of the panic, carrying through an economy measure vital to maintain confidence in the currency, and undertaking a general rcconstruction of the banking system, for the purpose of as- suring that general doubt of its solvency or ability to withstand the depression will not again arise. ‘The strain has been a very severe one, and in the complex economic system, where- in credit is the bloodstream, the effects of throwing thousands of banks into liquida- tion or reorganization by a stroke of the “pen are certain to be seriously disturbing. But the vigorous handling of the situation has encouraged everyone. There is good ground for believing that the country can sustain ,the aftermath of the crisis better than it could sustain the continuous dis- trust of credit, which has exerted a de- structive pressure upon business over the past two years. People are impressed by the view that such a catastrophe usually brings op the climax of nqfliaflon, and is and hot roll adequately sluiced with mild mustard that the Litchfield association is against, its execu- tives emphasize; it is merely the name that they are against. “Franks” they think would suggest something pleasant, “like the Ritz bar or the French debt.” That's all very well, but, even in the realm of panic and roadside delicacies, if you give a dog a bad name it's pretty likely to stick. Cooperation and Pride in Home Town. (Fairbanks News-Miner.) Before a city can accomplish much it must have teamwork. Its citizens must cooperate! They must show a willingness to help one another and |all work together for a better city. the ones that have shown this spirit of cooperation. In many cities part of the citizens pull one way and part of them another, resulting in dislike and distrust among the ones that should pull together. There is something good about everyone. If people know each other better they could pull to- gether better. Any city must sell itself to its citizens before it can sell itself to its neighbors. A spirit of cooperation and pride in the home city must be instilled into every thought and action of every individual in order to make their city better. A city must be awake to its opportunities and | stay awake! The presence of the United States fleet in the Pacific is causing misgivings in Japan, says Mr. Matsuoka. The presence of Japan in Manchuria is causing misgivings, too.—(Washington Post.) Some few banks, says Secretary Woodin, will not be reopened until put in “apple-pie order.” Evidently he wants the dough to be oozing over the rim.—(Los Angeles Times.) “It is a horrible situation,” says Bishop Cannon, “to see the President of the United States calling upon Congress for beer legislation.” But don't take it so to heart, Bishop; he got it.—(Macon Tele- gmph ) corrector, might reply, “What good is money, with- out beer?”—(Wheeling, W.

Although she was also un- der indictment for the murder of Miss Hedvig Samuelson, Mrs. Le- roi's roommate, she was never tried on that count. At her trial Mrs. |Judd entered a plea of insanity and did not testify in her own be- half. But, later, she said she had killed in self-defense, and attempt- ed to implicate Jack Halloran, a wealthy Phoenix lumberman, who. she said, had aided her in the dis- position of the bodies of her vie- tims. Halloran was cleared after he had been indicted as an accessory. The Testimony The actual killing of which Mrs. Judd was convicted, took place on Qctober 17, 1931. According to the testimony, there had been bad feel- ing between Mrs. Judd and the two women, who were to become her victims, for several days previ- ously. Halloran, acording to Mrs. Judd, was the bone of contention that introduced the discord that ended so tragically. The final show-down came when the three women met at breakfast. They talked of Jack Halloran, and the discussion developed into a heated verbal battle, in the course of which Mrs. Judd threatened to tell Halloran “a secret” about Mrs. | Lerol. With that, according to the | condemned woman’s account, Miss Samuelson made a threat against Mrs. Judd, declaring that if she carried tales to Halloran “I'll shoot you as sure as your name is Ruth Judd.® Story Goes On Mrs. Judd then went to the kitchen, her story goes on, where Miss Samuelson followed her and menaced her with a gun.
