THE PULITZER AWARDS. For “the most disinterested and meritorious pub- lic service rendered by an American newspaper during the year 1932, the New York World-Telegfam has been awarded the Pulitzer prize. This is an honor than any newspaper well may be proud of. The old New York World and the Evening World, founded by Joseph Pulitzer who was also founder of the prizes, won it three before these papers were purchased by the Telegram and that publication changed its name to the World-Tele- gram. The award for 1932 was made to it for “its articles on veterans' relief, on the real estate bond evil, its campaign urging voters in the last New York municipal election to write in the name of Joseph V. McKee, and its articles exposing the lot- tery schemes of various fraternal organizations.” No previous winner of the prize can point to such a diversity of services as a basis for the award. The Pulitzer awards in journalism and letters are made annually by the Trustees of the University of Columbia from a fund left to it by the will of the late Joseph Pulitzer. Other prizes announced by the Board were: Kansas City Star, $500 for a series of editorials on national and international subjects. For enlightening articles on Germany, Edgar A Mowrer, Berlin correspondent of the Chicago Dinl}"l News was-awarded a $500 prize. For the best example of a reporter's work, Francis A. Jamieson, Associated Press correspondent at Trenton, N. J, was warded the $1,000 prize for his coverage of the Lindbergh kidnaping. Honorable! mention was awarded to Carl Randau, World-Tele- gram reporter, for his reporting of the Hofstader Committee investigation into New York City's gov- ernment. Honors for good reporting went to: Lee Mec- Cardell of the Baltimore Evening Sun; Edward J. Neill, of the Associated Press; Chester C. Hanson, of the Los Angeles Times; Thomas H. Henry, of the: Washington, D. C., Evening Star, and also cor- respondence honor for Malcolm W. Binguay of the Detroit Free Press. Two newspapers received Honorable Mention awards for public service—the Detroit’ Free Press for its “Save the People’s Money” campaign, and the Philadelphia Record, for “defeating the at- tempt of the Philadelphia city government to lay an income tax on wages.” To H. M. Talburt of the Washington Daily News went the $500 prize for the best cartoon. Five prizes in literature were also. announced. A Tennessee novelist, two university professors, a newspaperman turned playwright and an Illinois- Connecticut poet were the winners. For the best novel published during the year by an American author, T. S. Stribling was awarded $1,000 for “The Store.” Maxwell Anderson was awarded $1,000 for the original American play performed in New York, best representing the edu- cational value and power of the stage—‘Both Your Houses.” | For the best book of the year upon the history of the United States, $2,000 to “the Signifi- cance of Sections in American History,” by Frederick J. Turner, To “Grover Cleveland,” by Allan Nevins, was awarded the $1,000 for the best American biography teaching patriotism and unselfish service to the people, excluding as too obvious examples the names of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Archi- bald Mac Leish won the $1,000 prize for the best volume of verse during the year, for his “Con- quistador.” The award to Prof. Turner was posthumous. He died last year at the age of 70 in California. " CHINESE METHUSELAH DIES. Recently the Associated Press reported that Li Chung-yun, a resident of Kaihsien, Province of Szechwan, China, died at the age of 197 years ac- cording to his own reckoning. But one Professor Wu Chung-chieh, dean of the Department of Educa- tion at Changfu University is authority for the statement that Li was many years older than his own count showed. According to that savant, Li, in 1828, or 105 years ago, received official felicita- tions from the Chinese Government on the occasion of his 150th birthday. The Government again congratulated him in 1877 when he passed the 200- year mark. That the Chinese ancient was a man of varied experiences is evident, whether he was 197 or 255 old. In 1930, he admitted to having survived makers dared not compute. He was or nothing except herbs | brought about by harmony in spirit and soul. | throughout his lengthy career and disliked strongly any form of violent exercises. He attributed his longevity to peace of mind and inward harmony WEAR HIS FLOWER. His fixed bayonet was pointed toward the enemy. |His steel helmet was tilted down over determined eves. An unseen machine gun sprayed his path with death, but he went forward for America. In a poppy-studded wheat field he fell. They buried him after the wave of battle swept by, and poppies sprang up around his grave. His victorious comrades, returning to America, brought memories and the poppy. Next Saturday, one week today, the men of the American Legion will ask all of us to wear a poppy. The women of the American Legion Auxiliary will offer us poppies on the streets and will give us an opportunity, through the purchase of this little red blossom, to aid the disabled of war, the widows and the fatherless children. Surely there is none in Juneau, who has the means, who will not respbnd to their appeal. None can so soon have forgotten the patriotic sacrifices of the past, and in tribute to it, all, we are sure, will unselfishly do their bit for the sake of it in buying and wearing the poppy of remembrance from in British Columbia. Province are aiming some real competition Beer prices have dropped Possibly the brewers of that to give American brewers (Cincinnati Enquirer,) The President's address to the people Sunday night was a skillful and comprehensive report of progress and an encouraging restatement of the purposes of the Administration. His manner was that of a trusted public servant giving an account of his stewardship. Written into the report were courage and confidence, intelligence and faith. No American citizen could hear or read the President's address without feeling more assured of the coun- try’s leadership and of its future. In terms of its subject matter, Mr. Roosevelt's report was largely an explanation of the purposes of the Administration in its emergency program of credit expansion, farm relief, railway reorganization and business mobilization. He made plain the pros- pect we faced in America if deflation were allowed to proceed. He showed how moderate inflation would correct existing evils and yet avoid new wrongs. And he emphasized that the wide powers being conveyed to him by the Congress are not cause for alarm, but simply an efficient method of administering the wishes of the Congress. More important than the facts given in the Presi- dent's address, however, is the spirit of stewardship embodied in it. Reaching beyond Congress, beyond party lines, beyond sectional barriers, the Chief | Executive rendered a report to the whole people, confiding to them the nature of his efforts and his hopes, inspiring in them a measure of con- fidence that cannot fail to be tremendously help- | ful. It is probably true that the American people today feel closer to the Federal Government than at any time in our national history. They have| more nearly the feeling of partnership in a great | national enterprise than ever before. This result | is due in no small measure to the clarity and| frankness with.which the President has made per-| sonal reports to the people who elected him. Two Point of View (New York Times.) Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, that martyr of truth who| shook from her feet the too moist dust of Massa- chusetts, still exercises great influence.

Taking leave, for the moment, of this undaunted champion of the | Ideal, let us drop into the Senate of Wisconsin and bow before the Practical. When beer is again be- | coming a great home industry of the Badgers, they don't forget another great home industry. By a 3- to-1 vote the Senate adopted this amendment to the beer regulation bill: If food is served or furnished on any premises for which a Class B license is is- sued, the licensee shall at all times keep on hand a good supply of Wisconsin chees for the patrons. If free lunch is served, it shall include Wisconsin cheese. So the goat of Gambrinus is hitched up with the cow; farm and brewery are twined. Up-State New York, maker of all cheeses, domestic and foreign, smiles upon this fair conjunction. A Colder Sun. (Manchester, Eng, Guardian,) Holidays, for the moment, are over, so that there is no special call for anxiety about the weather. Earthdwellers, therefore, may find time to devote a moment’s thought to the sun's weather, which is said to be on the eve of a ‘“cold period” that will be longer than any ever predicted by Dr. Buchan.

I—" He You'll have of the sun “will be somewhat below normal’—so that a “cold period” of two years, instead of a mere three or four days, is about to overtake the origin of central heating for the solar ‘system. That might sound a little alarming, for, presumably, what the sun thinks today in the matter of temperatures both Lancashire and London think tomorrow; surely a colder sun will mean a colder England? Fortunately the expert of the Smithsonian Institution, having done his best to make our flesh creep, at once ap- plies restoratives and hot-water bottles. He says that even when the sun has become a little colder it does not necessarily follow that the earth will have two years of diminished warmth, because earthly weather is affected by other things besides the sun’s heat. So it may be; but if other things remain equal and the sun's heat goes down, it sounds not improbable that by the winter of 1934 we may be mourning two mislaid summers. But that is to assume that the Smithsonian prognostica- tion, as reported, is correct—and the assumption may not be justified. Two years is a long shot in the way of weather forecasts; it would be re- garded as interesting rather than reliable if it was merely our own earthly weather that was at stake. In the case of the sun the possible margin of error seems wider than ever. There will be time to sympathize with the sun (and ourselves) when we know what the temperatures of the next two years have proved to be in practice. The B. M.
