ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. OBSTRUCTION BY DRYS. As was indicated by the repeal vote in the first 11 States to act on the resolution to take the Eighteenth Amendment out of the Federal Consti- tution, the landslide of ballots against Prohibition in the States of Iowa, Connecticut and New Hamp- shire, the last three to hold elections, proves that the United States has made up its mind to do away with that great mistake in public policy. The vote in Iowa is just as significant as it was in Indiana earlier this month. Not even the most fanatical Drys can any longer have the slightest hope left of defeating the repeal resolution. On the strength of the vote in the 14 States reporting to date, it would not be at all surprising if not a single State rejected the resolution. The Dry tactics are now directed toward obstruct- ing a vote on the question rather than to winning. In California an effort was made to prevent the vote by action in the State courts which, however.l was a failure. In Ohio, the Drys have apparently | been more successful in blocking a vote there next Fall. They have obtained a sufficient number of signatures to a petition calling for a referendum | on a measure passed by the State Legislature that provides for a vote in November on delegates to a convention to consider ratification of the repeal amendment. The Wets will take the matter to the courts to determine whether a referendum will apply in such a case. It is generally admitted that; such a referendum would approve the election of | delegates, and that the State will ratify the repeal | res \uluuox\y\m“ i is_giyen the chance, Delay Js Lhc only "tHing"the' Drys #fin Hope to ‘gatn. < A policy of obstruction cannot benefit the Drys | in the end. It is more likely to injure the cause of true temperance by arousing the people to such an extent that they will reject even reasonable propositions for State liquor control that might be | advanced in good faith by the Dry element. The Dry cause is already lost. Their campaign has broken down everywhere. Funds are short. In the Middle West, once a source of large revenues for them, there is an indifference and apathy that almost always accompanies a hopeless fight. Without finances, no campaign organization is possible. Speakers and publicity have been limited. Efforts to arouse the people by creating & saloon bogy have been dismal failures. There are no saloons and saloonkeepers to point.to.as horrible examples, Thus instead of confidently making an aggressive drive, such as would have swept the rural districts 15 years ago, the- Dry strategists are largely centering on movements designed to prevent a vote in as many States as possible, hoping thereby to delay defeat until after next Spring. CONFERENCE FORGETS EASILY. In the short period that has elapsed since the opening of the World Economic Conference at London, the delegates assembled there to undertake to end some of the difficulties in the way of world recovery seem to have forgotten the earnest ad-| monitions of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of | Great Britain in his initial keynote address. The spirit of that speech was encouraging and fostered | the hope that once again opportunity would be presented to the peoples of the world to return to the paths of happiness and prosperity. Among other things the British Prime Minister declared: No nation can permanently enrich itself at the expense of others. Mutual enrich- ment is a condition of individual enrichment. Nationalism in the sphere of politics may be essential to human freedom. Self- sufficient nationalism in economics is the death knell of advancing prosperity. % The nearer we can make the world an econ- omic unit the better it will be for each nation. . . . The various governments must face their own problems of internal indus- trial policy. Fate of generations may well depend upon the courage, sincerity and width of view which we are to show during the next few weeks. . . . We must not fail. Statesmanship today will be judged by what it devises to dispel the stern realities of the present and to anticipate the requirements of the future. . . . We have not ¢ome to discuss mere economic theories and general- ities, but to make practical proposals to meet urgent necessities. Let it [the con- ference] mark the end of the years of un- certainties and of policies which have brought distress upon us all. Yet there is an insistent demand from some of the delegations on discussing economic theories. Economists themselves add to the confusion by disputations and arguments. Nationalism will not down until its claims are first considered and its demands partly met. Threats of adjournment have been in the air since the second day of the gath- ering from which so much was hoped, and which could accomplish so much. It is to be hoped that lonly a year or more ago, and Raoul Lufbery, the |the loftiest eminence in America, and very heart |and soul of this grand playground of the nation, the whole wofld will be established. Only in that way can the best mankind be served. interests of all FARM POWER REPLACES WORKERS. Despite the decrease of more than 2,000,000 agri- cultural workers in the United States from 1910 to 1930, there was an increase of 8 acres in harvested crops for each farm and an increase in totaj harvested crops of 47,000,000 acres, the result in part of the use of power and machinery on farms, engineers of the United States Department of Agriculture found in a recent survey. Each worker in 1930 cared for about 36 acres of land, and in 1910 for about 26 acres. Before the Civil War each worker cared for about 15 acres. Horsepower available for each worker increased from 15 in 1850 to 6.7 in 1930, and the value of power units and machinery per agricultural worker increased from $144 in 1870 to $444 in 1930. For a few days now we are converts of science which says summer begins on June 21. To play it safe, however, we reserve the right to backslide. One way to cure members of Congress of loquaclousness would be to suspend publication of the Congressional Record and quit sending news- paper reporters to the capitol. The scrip money idea that seemed to be taking such a hold throughout the country a few months ago apparently has died a sudden death. History in Biography. (New York Times.) Another volume of the history of America writ- ten in the biographies of those who have been out- standing in its making is to be published this week —the eleventh volume of the Dictionary of Am- erican Biography. It covers not a given chron- ological period but the entire range of human life in what is now the United States from the coming of Laudonniere in 1562 in Florida and La Salle in the Mississippi Valley in 1679 and La Verendrye in the farther West, to Vachel Lindsay, who died greatest American ace in the Wcrld War. As each name is called the person to whom it belonged rises to take his place in the drama of real life again. Sometimes it happens, movingly, that father and son come one immediately after the other, as A. A. Low and his more widely known son, Seth Low; or the Benjamin Henry Latrobes; or two brothers appear together, as John and Joseph LeConte; or three brothers, as Abbott, Amos and Willlam Lawrence; or, in one case at least, brother and sister, Percival Lowell the astronomer and Amy Lowell the poet. Were the living also included, there would be another brother in their company. There are strange associations, due to the alpna- betical order in which the names appear: Josepn Larned, a New York fire engine pioneer; Josephus Larned, the Buffalo librarian, and Willilam Augustus | Larned, the champion tennis player, occupying the| opening pages of the volume. FPurther on a most notorious character, Lewis Littlepage, a soldier of fortune, who was for a time chamberlain to the King of Poland, finds himself in intimate associa- tion with Bishop Littlejohn on the one side and the Unitarian clergyman Abiel Abbot Livermore on the other. Not far away sit two Indian chiefs, Little Crow V, whose power was due to his oratorical ~jabilities "and . not, ;his military “italents, and ‘ Little Turtle, “who adopted some Américdn ways and ac-| |quired a white man’s disease, gout.” And the “fight- | ing McCooks” are there side by side with their clerical brother who became an authority on ants and spiders. Jack London and Meyer London are companioned. Nicholas Longworth the horticultur- ist and Nicholas Longworth the Speaker, his great- grandson, become of an age. Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee are here united in biographies that will have a Plutarchian premanence. Lowell and Longfellow are in their abiding company. Not only are the Lowells and the Cabots (in their Lodge representatives) there, but in considerable number, the Livingstons, the Lees, the Lawrences, the Lorings, the Lovejoys and the long line of Scottish and Irish “Macs,” led by the pioneer educator and clergyman McAfee — among them Cyrus McCormick, the inventor; General Mc- Clellan and President James McCosh of Princeton, with President MacCracken, who finds himself in another hall of fame than the one he planned. The volume is the proudest in its names and the richest in its variety of recorded achievement of all that have so far appeared in this monumental series which has now passed the half-way mark. McKinley Park. (Anchorage Times.) The annual opening season for visitors to Mc- Kinley Park is at hand. The occasion recalls the fact that this magnificent and matchless American scenic and recreational reservation lies in the front yard of Anchorage—with majestic Mount McKinley, plainly visible from Anchorage. As time goes on Mount McKinley will prove one of the greatest assets of Alaska. It may seem idle to some to suggest such a thing—but climate and scenic wonder constitute the lure and charm in various favored corners of the earth which have been capitalized for millions and made sources of vast continuous sources of revenues. California capitalized her climate and with it made Hollywood the world’s moving picture metropolis, with hundreds of millions of investment involved. TItaly and other countries alorfg the Mediterranean long ago capi- talized their balmy climate—and the Riveira will never lose its pull on the public as a favorite play- ground. Florida has capitalized her mild and salubrious climate and reaps millions annually from the recreation-seeking classes from the more severe northern climes. Scandinavia and Switzerland have capitalized their glaciers and their snowy mountains and winter sports. New York has done the same at Lake Placid, and Montreal and Quebec with their winter sports have had a similar experience. Mount McKinley just now is looked upon as a mecca for the few hardier ones who will travel afar in summer to enjoy its charms. In time the world will discover the wonders of its winter attributes— and the same may be said in respect to winter sports and allurements of Interior Alaska as a whole.

He opened his curved beak dubiously, paused to scratch with vigor under one wing, and 1 sald thoughttully: “If we only knew exactly where the danger lies.” “When we discover that, we-will have the murderer,” said Lorn. “It may not be as complete a mystery as you seem to think. Things have a way of breaking suddenly.” “Perhaps.

WOMAN PRO FINDS SELF OUTCLASSED IN MEN'S TOURNEY LEEDS, England, sune 24—Miss Poppy Wingate has won the dis- tinction of being the first woman golfer in the British Isles to take part in a leading professional tour- nament with men. Augmenting her set of irons with three heavy wooden clubs borrowed from a man, she entered with the country’s leading professionals for the Leeds tournament with its stake of some $3,750. For eight holes she played well, but a six on the ninth was the beginning of the end and she fin- ished the first qualifying round-of 18 holes hopelessly down with & 90. She was back for the second (Los Angeles Times.) round the following day—but tore. up her card in disgust long before finishing the trial. Miss Wingate, a young widow, acts as assistant to her brother, who is the professional at Temple- newsan. . FUNERAL SERVICES FOR PATRICK PADDEN HELD CATHOLC CHURCH TUES. . TheB. M.
