ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. 0 WALTER LIPPMANN. Today The Empire presents to its readers Walter Lippmann, last editor of the New York World, former editor of the New Republic, scholar in political economy and philosophy and one of the clearest thinking and clearest writing men of the day. Shortly after the New York World was sold in 1929, Mr. Lippmann joined the staff of the New York Herald Tribune with an assignment to write anything he pleased and with no strings tied. He has broadened his field since that day until mil- lions of people read his articles which are printed Parks was his long-standing and persistent recom- mendation to the Coolidge and Hoover administra- tions that the Alaska Prohibition Unit be abolished and the enforcement of the National Prohibition Act placed in the hands of the Department of Justice, through local United States Marshals. That tis the system that is to'be adopted after June 30, until the law itself is expunged from the Federal code and the Eighteenth Amendment ripped out of the Constitution. That is where it ought to have been all the time. We feel no regret—rather gratification—at the pass- ing of the system, and therefore express none. Naturally, it will deprive some individuals of jobs. Five such are in Alaska, and reductions in personnel through the nation number in all 13,000. Such jobs ought never to have been created. We hope those who have held them have amassed enough savings to keep them in comfort until they can enter normal occupations. But for their lost occupation, we are confident there are few who will utter a single sigh. All of the returns to date are pretty good evidence that the States are jumping off the water cart to find early places on the repeal bandwagon. As we understand it, investigation going on in Alaska the Interior partment would find life a trifle stale. , unless there is a reindeer De- Wonders will never cease. Not only has the Nation's capital just witnessed a session of Con- gress that proved it could be responsive to the public pulse, it is now all puffed up over the fact that its ball club is setting on top of the American League heap, Courage, Faith and Hope. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) Carlyle in an essay recalled how, when a boy, he heard his father say: “And the people were eating only porridge, and the men walked down to the river alone to drink water, seeking only to hide their misery from the others.” In the times we are now going through we are apt to revile the weakness of man, that, in such a seemingly prosperous country he should allow such poverty and hunger as many are experiencing. We rebate man's lack of judgment in not saving for a ‘“rainy day,” not planning ahead, that he might in newspapers from Canada to Mexico, and now in Alaska. There are two outstanding reasons for the import- ance and influence of his writings. First, he writes with great clearness and power. Secondly, he inter- prets the news more interestingly because he knows the inside of the news. He is the friend of states- men and business executives and of diplomats, and he would be the last to mention it. They talk frankly with him. What they tell him, though it cannot be printed, gives background and authority to his comment. Four times a week, beginning today, he will express freely his opinion on such subjects as he may select, over his own signature. He will write what he likes on whatever subjects he likes. The policy of The Empire has always been to print the news as accurately end impartially as it is humanly possible and to cxpress its opinions only on its editorial page. Equally it has been not be caught unawares by depressions; we also criticise the lack of business sense of many men. But rarely do most of us have a word of praise for the “man in the street,” for the businessman, for the banker, for all those who are grimly watch- ing the ruins at their feet, the work of a life- time crumbling, everything lost. Everything lost? Not courage, not faith, not hope—these three. For in the dark days there burns in these men and women the courage of a race youthful and strong; in their hearts is faith, faith in themselves and belief in their country; in their breasts, hope beats—not futile hope—but hope builded on the knowledge that man is strong, that out of the darkness ruin he can build again, greater and finer than those structures now fallen. Covered wagons creak and careen across the prairie, dip down hazardous mountains, and a na- tion is born. Windjammers, like toy ships, beat their way around Cape “Stiff” and the nation's maritime commerce is inaugurated; grim men toil its policy to give wide latitude to the expression of every shade of opinion. We count it both a public service and a privilege to add Mr. Lippmann’'s point of view to our columns. It may not always be ours. But it is certain to be a view ably presented, soundly based, cogently reasoned, and written in language that “is precise enough for a Supreme Court Justice, simple enough for a ward heeler and entertaining enough to woo a magnate away . from his grapefruit,” as one commentator recently wrote, Nothing he has written more strikingly shows the quality of his thought and expression than this passage, taken from a recent article, on the desire of the United States for real leaders: Men who are truthful and resolute and eloquent in the conviction that the American destiny is to be free and magnanimous, rather than complacent and acquisitive; they are looking for leaders who will talk to the people, not about two-car garages and the bonus, but about their duty, and about the sacrifices they must make, and about the discipline they must impose upon themselves, and about their responsibility to the world and posterity—about all those things which make a people self-respecting, serene and confident. May they not look in vain. He was a friend of Woodrow Wilson and Theo- dore Roosevelt. He was an ardent admirer of the late Dwight Morrow whose death he regarded as a great loss to the nation. He is a friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt and yet one of the most critical commentators on his Administration. In his forthcoming articles many will deal with thu methods adopted to work out th: legislative emer- gency program and the use of .ue great permissive powers granted the President by Congress. ‘The Empire introduces Mr. Lippmann to Alaskans with pleasure and takes a pride in the fact that it is the first Alaska newspaper to do so. We are confident you will derive as much pleasure and profit from his articles as millions of other news- paper readers throughout the country are doing. ENDING A VICIOUS SYSTEM. ‘The system of having a special organization of agents and officers to enforce the National Pro- hibition Act, established 13 years ago by Congress, under the scourge of the then enthroned Dry min- orities and which will end next Saturday in so far as Alaska is concerned, was inherently vicions. No more ‘than the law that gave it being did it ever have a rightful “place in the American Federal .governmental structure. It did as much to breed criminality as it did to suppress crime. And there were times that it seemed as if the desire was to set thieves to catch other thieves with the result that the chief sufferer was the the law-abiding, honest and honorable citizen. Operating under a law that made for national hypocrisy, it was not to be wondered at that it embraced hyprocrits, snoops, spies, agents provo- cateur and stool pidgeons in its ranks. Of course, it had honest agents whose. efficiency and efforts to enforce an unenforceable statute, wholly misplaced in the Constitution, in a dignified and traditionally American manner only made the iniquities of the system stand out the more significantly. When its history shall have been finally and completely written for. posterity, the most shameful blotch|gohe ) be on the nation’s law enforcement record will exposed. One of the most outstanding features of the man, “would have refused any gift offered by the|Sprinkle with salt and paprika. across Chilkoot Pass, and Alaska and the Yukon are conquered and put on the map. Men die and live. The cost is not counted. Those who carried on cry, “It was tough, but by gosh, we made it, didn't we?” Bleached bones on the prairie; a snarl of canvas and spars on the rocks; frozen bodies in the snow. Everything lost? Not courage, not faith, not hope —these three. A nation built by men and women who couldn't say “die,” who, though they often ate only porridge and sought always to hide their misery from the others, knew in their hearts better days were coming. Today men and women with these three things alone are hanging on, hiding their misery, eating what they can eat, working when they can work, but, above all, with nothing, they have everything: courage, faith and hope. With these three things they will build again and some day smile at the memory of the lean days, just as the earlier pioneers now recollect the hot suns, stormy seas and frozen feet, glad they carried on through it all. A Shifting Scene. (Boston News Bureau.) The exhausted and mostly bewildered members of Congress must take with them from Washing- ton a curious medley of impressions and . feelings. The constituents welcoming them home may be considered as fully sharing that general set of sentiments. It has been much to wonder at and much yet to digest and apply. Our hired men have borne all the burdens, and of late the heats, of the day with a surprising good cheer and docility. It has been a collective, almost impersonal, performance. Only a very few of them have had any slight chance of individual distinction in these amazing threc months just con- cluded. They have had to be good soldiers—and have been such up to practically the last moment. || There may be marshal's batons hidden in some knapsacks; but they are yet to be revealed. The final slight ruffling of the amenity that had existed from the outset was a quite natural ebullition at the end of a session that was extra- ordinary in every sense. Tempers may be cooler by January. Also the pressure from the organized veteran quarters may be expected to be much less formidable; it doubtless reached its high level of exaction in Saturday's last-minute compromise. The integrity of the budget should by next winter be a firmly settled cardinal principle. So both Government and country pass from one climactic stage to another. The transition is from a great enacting to a great administering epoch. The great mass of novel legislation created in so short a period must get its testing in applica- tion. Admittedly we have gone quite far on “un- trod paths;” there may have to be some steps retraced eventually. But all was in the.dominant name of “emergency,” accepted by everybody with an almost hynotic acquiescence. . 8o closes the great domestic episode. Almost on theatrical or circus time schedule the stage is set now for the international performance. Evanston, Ill, home of the W. C. T. U, voted overwhelmingly for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment., And beer is being sold in Wester- ville, Ohio, cradle of the Anti-Saloon League—(Lex- ingtn, Ky., Herald.) Has Bishop Cannon yet explained that Indiana was a sopping wet State anyway, and the people had sold out to the liquor interests, and the Drys were astonished that they did so well?—(Boston ~— Crossing The Roosevelt program has been placed on the statute books. With no important exceptions the Presi- dent has been given the powers he asked for. Thus the first chapter in the been concluded. now begins. s s s » In less than ninety days the President has proposed and Con- gress has accepted a program which in its scope and the rapidity of its enactment has mnever been equalled in time of peace. The achievement made possible by a universal recognition that with the closing of the banks the coun- try has been brought to the brink of an abyss. To the general feel- ing that heroic remediés were nec- essary the President was able to respond with a series of propos- als which, in principal at least had been thought out in advance With a great new majority in Congress as yet unshaken by fac- tion and disappointment, with his persomal prestige as a new Presi- dent for the time being irresistable, with the sentiment in favor of prompt action, the program has been enacted into law. From now on the President is in a new phase and will work under very different conditions. His task thus far has been to conceive the general outlines of a program. Now his task is to administer tha program. Thus far he has had tc persuade Congress and enlist pub- lic sentiment. Now he has to sel- ect executives and control thei decisions. Until this time a favor- able vote was a victory, Hereafte the only victory will be a favor- able result. The transition ha¢ now to be made from promise tc performance, from legislative lea- dership to executive action, from planning in principle to admin- istration in detail. el Sl It is plain enough that thec of the Administration will be bound up with the quality of the men who actually administer these new laws. The President cannol hope to administer them per- sonally, and as an experiencec that his task is to choose men who are loyal and competent, trusting them, and reserving to himself the great decisions as to personnel and as to policy. ‘With such vast powers entrusted to his lieutenants, there is alto- gether too much at stake to per- mit him to rely upon ordinary partisanship in making his ap- pointments. Thus, for example, when one considers the momentous action that has to be taken in dealing with money and credit, it is distinctly alarming to find the President making a merely poli- tical appointment to the Federal Reserve Board. Not only is it necessary to rise above partisan- ship in making appointments of men who must determine questions of policy and principle, but in the actual administration it is neces- sary to demand something more than routine political good nature. The kit bag episode illustrates the point. A contractor with a letter of introduction from a law part- ner of the President should not have special access to the White House or to any other department. Such letters of introduction should not be written. If written, they should be ignored, and the Pres- ident's lieutenants should be held as accountable as a sentry on duty to let no one pass who does mot come in the lawful and proper way. RS R history of the Administration, has|n A new chapter |grudges and personal Today and Tomorrow By WALTER LIPPMANN the Line Not only is it necessary to sur- mount partisanship and to resist 12 pulling and the pushing of the )ld friends, the political buddies ind the fixers who will be moving n Washington, but it will be cessary also to. overcome old spites. It might as well be said frankly and in the open what close observers t the capital are saying private- y, namely, that in choosing men e test as to whether they sup- ported Mr. Roosevelt for the nom- ination is being applied altogether wo rigidly. By that test too many men whom the Administra- on very much needs will be re- jected, and then irritated, and fi- nally turned into an opposition. It is true that many of the most prominent of thcse men have con- nections with interests which this Administration hopes to regulate and control, and it is quite right t men having such connections uld be scrutinized with special care. But it would be .a silly il- lusion to suppose that a line can be drawn between the public-spir- ited and those having private in- terests by remembering the lineup | on Mr. Roosevelt’s candidacy. That this illustration is not absent would 1 think, bz admitted by those ob- servers who have watched closely and have no other interest but to see things as they are. S i But even if the Administration puts aside partisanship, factional- sm, and personal revenge, even if it is successful in selecting its administrators and wise in its de- cisions, it cannot alone insure the success of this vast national pro- gram., ‘The Administration can lead. It can guide. It can deter- mine principles and settle disputes. The actual carrying out of such measures as the farm and the in- dustrial bills will depend upon the organized farmers, organized labor and the organized manufacturers and merchants. Thess measures make possible the largest experi- fate of the program and the fat¢ |ment in economic selfgovernment ever attempted in this country. The successss and the failures, for there will be both, will be deter- mined by the enlightenment and the economic statesmanship of farmers, labor leaders and busi- man, he will, of course, recognize |ness men. Under these laws they can pro- duce intolerable abuses and im- mense scandals. These are the in- herent possibilities of an experi- ment of this kind. If the men who |organize the co-operation which |these laws permit are foolish, short-sighted, greedy for quick profits and for little advantages they will discredit the whole ex- periment. Let them not imagine that there will be no reaction if they are being allowed. The re- action will be swift and drastic, and they will not like it when it comes. So it will not be enough for the honest and enlightened men in an industry to keep their own hands clean. Under these laws the honest and enlightened are required for their own pro- tection to fight the racketeers, the profiteers and the shysters within their trades. . v s e I do not mean to convey the impression that the program en- acted cannot be successfully exe- cuted. On the contrary, it seems to me reasonable to hope that it can be. But the chances of suc- cess will be vastly improved if all concerned realize clearly that we are now crossing the line which separates legislation from admin- istration and that whereas we have been discussing plans and principles, we have now to con- centrate on decisions and actual- ities.

CHARLOTTE Mrs. J. W. Kehoe, wife of Rep- resentative Kehoe of Ketchikan, who has been visiting her family in Portland, Ore, since shortly after the adjournment of the Ter- ritorial Legislature, returned to her home in Ketchikan aboard the Princess Charlotte. "th'r-M Prim { % 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire ey JUNE 28, 1913, With the New Seattle Chamber of Commerce party aboard, the steamer Jefferson arrived at Treadwzll at 7 o'clock in the morn- ing on scheduled time. Immed- iately after breakfast the majority of the party debarked and were taken through the famous Tread- well mines and the reduction works. The Jefferson picked them up at Douglas. There was 120 in the party, with representativesfrom many sections of “the world, and embracing many important per- sonages. J. L. McPherson, secre- tary of the Alaska Bureau of the New Seattle Chamber of Com- merce was in charge of the tour and L. B. Peoples was chairman of the day while the steamer was visiting in Gastineau Channel. Seth Mann was appointed to rep- resent the President of the Unit- ed States, Dr. Alfred H. Brooks represented the Geological Sur- vey, Prof. C. C. Georgeson, De- partment of Agriculture, Col. W. P. Richardson, the Alaska Road Commission and many others. James McCloskey returned from Seattle on the Humboldt after a trip south bringing his family with him. The excursion steamer Spokane, of the Pacific Coast Company, ar- rived in Juneau at noon with 150 tourists aboard, many of whom were millionaires, and all of whom| were loud in their praise of the northern wonderland. C. D. Dun- ann, passenger and traffic man- ager of the company, was making the inaugural trip of the season looking after the comfort of the company’s patrons and Mrs. Hart, the company's lecturer, was also|—— aboard and delighted to resume her work. Henry Moses left for an inde(-l inite trip through the states. He expected to be gone two or three months visiting various parts of the country. Miss Lila Brilliant Olds was ynit ed in marriage to Clarence Edwin Carpenter at 5 o'clock in the af ternoon at the home of the bride. The Rev. R. C. Blackwell per- formed the ceremony and there were no guests except the immed- jate families of the cotracting par- ties. No cards were issued, but a reception was to be given at the Olds’ home to which all the friends of the couple were invited. Joseph McDonald reiterated the remarks made by himself before leaving Juneau ten years prev- iously, when he said that the Al- aska-Juneau mine was the greatest gold quartz mine he had ever seen. “It is living up to the pre- dictions I made for it over ten years ago,” he said.
