RETREATING TO THE BIBLE BELT. Routed in the East, crushed under demoralizing losses in the Midwest, the Anti-Saloon Leaguers have retreated’to the Bible Belt of the Old South in a desperate, and seemingly a futile, effort to block the sweep of Prohibition repeal that is carry- ing every State before it. With Iowa, once the staunchést of the Drys, gone Wet by a three to two vote, the Canutes of the Dry forces are marshaling their paid orators in Arkansas and Alabama which will vote on the repeal resolution on July 18. In these ‘two States, they will fight to the last ditch, but it is plain it will not be an aggressive, driving offensive battle, rather a rear-guard action designed to delay final capitulation rather than to win a decisive victory. Where is the crusading fervor? Nowhere in the whole country has there been manifested any of the ancient enthusiasm, once so marked in dry cam- paigns. We suspect there is a reason for this. Once there was the wicked saloon and the white- aproned bartenders with their handle-bar mustaches and the big brewery horses to rant about. Now if any one is to mention their equivalent it must be in speakeasies, the rackets and the bootleggers, which are embarrassing swbjects for a rally for the Eighteenth Amendment. Even the saloon, in all its iniquity, was never like these. That seems to be the reason why repeal goes/ marching on with majorities which range from three to two in Iowa to four and five to one— depending more on weather than on differences of opinion the cbintry dver! The iniquities of the Eighteenth Amendment have influenced all of the country yet heard from. With every State vote the weakness of Prohibi- tion becomes more and more evident. This weak- ness has been suspected by the professional Dry leaders; their entire campaign has been directed toward attempts to deprive the public of suffrage, as they would like to do in Ohio and Missouri, and as they undertook and failed to do in Cali- fornia. But the avalanche cannot be stopped. Re- peal goes marching on. NO EXTERMINATION HERE. Arthur Newton Pack, editor of Nature Magazine, naturalist and explorer, is headed Alaskaward to visit Glacier Bay and Admiralty Island. With Mrs. Pack and Frank Hibben of Princeton University, he plans to survey some of the nation's wild life resources “including wild life threatened with ex- tinction,” according to press reports from the Na- tional *capital. Mr. Pack is not unknown to Alaskans. He has explored some of our unfrequented spots and written charming accounts of his voyages. His greatest mistake was in joining in the untimely and ill- advised demand for a brown' bear sanctuary on Admiralty Island. We welcome this latest trip of his to the Territory and are delighted with his idea of spending sometime on Admiralty Island. He ought to be there and spend several weeks studying | conditions, surveying the bear resources of the entire island. We are confident if he approaches the subject with true scientific disinterestedness in any- thing except facts, he will come away convinced that his original position is unsound and that the brown bears of Admiralty Island are being given all of the protection any of its friends and defend- ers ought to seek or can reasonably want or expect. WHAT BUSINE OWES TO SOCIETY. The responsibilities of business to society in general, as conceived in the “new deal” offered to the ‘country by the Rooseyelt Administration, and which are involved in some of the legislation enacted by Congress in its special session were discussed recently before the Harvard Business School by A. A. Berle, Jr, Special Assistant to the Recon- struction Finance Corporation. He said in part: A banker. who floats an issme of bonds which is intrinsically unsound, though it of- fers him a profit, cannot rest on his indi- vidual profit as a measure of success. Others will do likewise; a few years of this sort of thing will end investment banking and the investment banker with it. He may pocket his profit; but he has commenced to write his death warrant, and the death warrant of all of his brethren with it. A commercial bank # not dging its duty when it keeps its own skirts clear but permits unsound or unethical banking to go on in the same community. In industry we know, now, that the work- er is quite as important as a consuming and living being as he is as a producer. The business of today is not an affair of making “That is incidental. Business is the It aims to provide goods to allow people to to develop and to live still more fully. When it does not do this, business is bank- rupt. It ‘is bnntmpt merally in the first parts | and it is bankrupt financially shortly thereafur In the gross language of the balance sheet, we can say that a man in the bread- line means a lower dividend rate. In the higher langauge of business intellect, we can say that a family seeking relief is a blot on the “scutcheon” of American busi- ness. So long as business is unable to solve that kind of problem, just so long there must be governmental interference. ‘The real government of today is the great net of business influences which ultimately impact on the lives of all of us, deter- mining what we do, how we live, and whether we can live at all. We have chosen in America to keep that net in private hands. It can remain there only if it frankly assumes and carefully fulfills the obliga- tion which every government has assumed from time immemorial, the obligation to pro- vide its citizens with the_materials for hap- piness Republican strategists are alarmed lest the Demo- crats have transformed the Republic into another Russia. If the transformation continues to operate in the next 45 months as it has in the past three, the voters in 1936 wont care what name is tacked onto Mr. Roosevelt and his supporters. They'll vote for 'em anyway. Little Finland was the only nation that paid in full its war debt installment to the United States. Let's see! Wasn't it Finland that last year repealed national Prohibition? Smoke and Hope. (New York Herald Tribune.) There was a time when the fat cigar—preferably a dark and gaudily banded one—was esteemed a mark of prosperity by the ingenuous. In all car- toons of a generation ago the bloated trusts, political grafters, bankers and the higherups of the sport- ing fraternity were ponderous persons who smoked huge cigars at aggressive angles. In these latter years, of almost ubiquitous smqking and of far wider addiction to the democratic cigarette, it has seldom occurred to the cartoonists or any other class of philosophers to associate smoking with pros- perity; yet a review of the tobacco production figures for the first five months of this year would seem to indicate beyond cavil that there is really some association between smoking and confidence. And now it is the cheap cigarette, and not the plutocratic cigar, that the American people seem to burn as incense when they again have recourse to the altars of their hopes. The year 1932 was a bad one for the purveyors of all kinds of tobacco. Their sales fell off steadily and consistently from a high point in the summer of 1930, when the depression was accepted as a lasting blight, right through to the end of -the last dismal year. Then there came a turn and the cigarette was the first “smoke” to show it. In January cigarette sales were a fraction better than volume for January, 1932. In February the cigarette sales were 2.26 per cent higher than in the same month last year; in April 543 per cent higher, and last month they were not only 45 per cent above May, 1932, but established a new American record. We have purposely omitted March from this ac- count, to point a significant contrast, because in March, the month of the bank holiday, cash short- age and nation-wide anxiety, the January and February gains in'all kinds of tobacto sales were wiped out and the cigarette consumption was 5.59 per cent lower than in March, 1932 Except that the consumption of cigars, snuff and tobacco is a less sensitive and more sluggish, bar- ometer, and therefore a less useful one, it serves the purpose of supporting our theory about the significance of the cigarette figures by following them in all their ups and downs. The cigar sales have not caught up in any month of this year with the sales records of 1932, but, except for the month of March, when they followed the cigarette output into a sympathetic slump, they have been steadiiy gaining on last year'’s monthly figures and pipe tobacco has actually overtaken the 1932 figures for several months past. It is indeed hard, to avoid the feeling that in the volume of cigarétte sales, in good and bad times, we have nothing less than a new index to the state of the nation’s mind, if not to its prosperity. A New Era Dawns. (New York World-Telegram.) A great nation at work, with essential toil inci- dental to the creation of a new civilization in which culture will be paramount, was predicted by Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, in an address here. She said: We recognize that our mass production system cannot go on unless we consciously build up the purchasing power of the people who work in this country, and we are recognizing that out of the building up of this purchasing power—by artificial or other means—may come a blessing beyond any- thing we in our generation have ever dared to dream of. . . . Our activity in the produc- tion of things we need in the mere earning of a living is going to be incidental to the production of those great clvilizing institu- tions which, thank God, we have now become a people powerful enough, a people intelli- gent enough, to have and to share with all. Therefore, she declared, the people who take profits as investors are going to be satisfied with smaller returns and larger wages to the productive forces in order to. unify the country and to create the new civilization of which she speaks. All this is not in any sense visionary. actually the necessary basis of recovery. It is highly encouraging that President Roose- velt has in his Cabinet persons who eagerly preach the doctrine of the new day while organizing its realization. It is Gangsters and other criminals make hay in the summertime, while police are at the beaches fight- Ing the horrid menace of the brassiere bathing suit. —(Boston Globe.)

Fame as By PAUL MICHAELSON * (A. P. Sports Writer) CHICAGO, July 10. — Rul stamp president? Not Wiiliam ridge, head man of the American League since May 27, 1931. In his two years at the helm of the league he has won the repu-~ tation as one of the greatest two- fisted leaders the game has evct known, ‘When Ernest Sargent Barnard died suddenly in March 1931, sev- eral American league club owners admittedly were a, trifle shy in choosing the mild mannered Har- ridge as his successor to the presi- dency. Some feared he would be too shy, just another “yes” man in di- rect contrast to the stormy Ban! Johnson and 'the determined Bar- nard. But after two months of indecision, they finally picked Har- ridge, assistant in the president’s office for more than 20 years. Since’ that time, Harridge has given a great exhibition in lead- "ership over some pretty rough wat- ers. At least five extremely deli- cate problems have confronted him and each time he has hauled out a big stick that nobody even dreamed he had and handed down decisions that stuck. | Staggerecs The Yankees | The first time Harridge wielded his club, he staggered the New York Yankees by fining Catcher Bill Dickey $1,000 and suspending him for 30 days for assaulting Carl Reynolds of Washington. The pen- ered, caused a lot of gasps. Previous to the Dickey case, Harridge levied fines of $1,350 against Manager Lew Fonseca of the White Sox and three of his players for their “battle of the runway” at Cleveland, in addition to suspensions. Another case involved the Yan- kees again. Detroit protested that Lou Gehrig had batted out of turn in a game the Yankees had won Over vigorous protest by the Yan-| kee management, Harridge ordered | the game replayed and Detroit won. In this year's outbreak between giate pole vaulter, Washington and the Yankees, Har- | ridge was expected to deal harshly relented in the face of mitigating circumstances for the first tuncL, and his limited suspensions and fines were satisfactory all around.| Later the club owners met in| Cleveland and an exceptionally happy meseting was held in which | the Yankees and Senator leader: buried the axe. ©One of ‘harridge’s chief inno- vations has been a close check-up on umpires in the league. He ap- pointed an umpire-in-chief and later surprised the baseball world and brought his arbiters on their toes by releasing Umpire Dick Mallin, who had been calling ‘emj for 16 years in the league. All this from a man who never played a game of baseball in his life, yet who has become one of the game’s greatest leaders. ————————— Daily Empire Want Ads Pay Keeps Umpires on Toes j g o-Fisted Leader 20 YEARS AGO PROFESSIONAL Fraternal Societies | From The Empire Gastineau Channel il Helene W.
