CONNORS DECISION PROPER. decision of J. J. Connors to remain at his post as Democratic National Committeeman for Alaska, notwithstanding the f that he is also Collector of Customs, is gratifying to the Democrats, rank and file, of Alaska. It likewise should meet | with the approval of the National Committee and the President as the party’s leader. During his five | years' tenure as head of the party organization in Alaska, Mr. Connors has proved his capacity as a politician and his ability as an executive. He took over the office after eight years of Republican na- | tional regime and an almost complete Republican control of the Territory. From the first year, the effects of his efforts to build up a workable organization were plainly re- flected in election results. Democratic candidates began to poll larger and larger votes, and even a few were elected to Territorial office. Each suc- ceeding election showed increasing strength and last Fall's overwhelming victory for the party in the| Territory, while in some measure due to the national landslide, was in even larger part based upon the yvears he had spent in patient organization work and building a corps of workers that could be de- | pended upon to work day in and day out for thel good of the cause. He served the party efficiently and faithfully,| at no inconsiderable personal expense to himself | during the lean years of political adversity. Now | that conditions are reversed, it is altogether proper | that he continue to guide its policies so that it may continue in power for years to come. | The EDITOR SMITH RAPS BUSINESS CONTROL. In the current issue of the New Outlook, Editor Alfred E. Smith raps the Roosevelt Administration’s program for a planned industrial structure under the National Industrial Recovery Act which he visions as a departure from Jeffersonian principles of Democracy. Despite the approval of this program by most of the industrial and business leaders of the country, and the widespread confidence through- out the country, Mr. Smith asserts “I can't under- stand how it can possibly work.” He is of the opinion that it is an experiment that should have been tried out on a laboratory scale rather than put into effect throughout the nation. “If we could give the planners a corner of Alaska, or a chunk of the Bad Lands, for their experiment it would not be so serious. Then if the laboratory blew up, the whole nation would not suffer,” he argues. Mr. Smith's sincerity is not to be questioned. sideration. for getting the country out of the economic doldrums. He would leave the job of righting our stranded business and industry to “the philosopher, the priest and the doctor rather than the statesman, lawyer or business executive.” He states his own convictions claring: + I have never hesitated to recommend the extension of government activities to meet the needs of a growing population in an age of industrial invention, but this plan goes beyond ‘anything my imagination can follow. In such a triumph of bureaucracy the little man would be lost in the shuffle. It may be that we have reached a new era in which the Government must run everything, but I hope not, because I do not want to see this land of opportunity sink to a dead level in which we shall all be civil servants, working under political control. If that happens we shall have sold our American birthright for a mess of communistic pottage. There does not seem to be anything in the Administration’s program for business recovery that Jjustifies such sweeping condemnation. The under- forcefully, de- |lving motif: of the plan is to permit business, under equitable codes, to control itself and to eradicate certain evils that have had a baneful effect upon the whole nation. It is an emergency program limited by law to two years. Already its effects have been beneficial to the nation. If, in spite of what Mr. Smith has to say, and what other critics have said, it succeeds even passably well, and with the proper kind of administration, trained business executives are confident it will do that, then the country will be infinitely better off than it has been for many years. A FINE OFFICIAL RETIRES. For almost 12 years J. C. McBride, who has just retired from office as Collector of Customs for Alaska, rendered capable and loyal service to the three Administrations he represented in the Terri- tory. He was the type of officer that all Alaskans can well be proud of. His loyalty to the Republican Party, of which he is a lifelong member, was not less than his loyalty to Alaska. He served both his party and the Territory faithfully. In his forthcoming departure for the south, there is cause for regret for Juneau and Alaska will lose, temporarily at least, one of its finest citizens. We hope that he will regain his health completely and thus be able to return here and take up his place among us for many years to come. J. P. Morgan has sailed for his Scottish estate for some shooting and where Senate investigating committees cannot disturb his peace and quiet. No Split-Up Nation. (New York Times.) The “old experience” of Mr. Root attained some- thing of a “prophetic strain” in his speech at the |Albany Convention yesterday. Referring to the boast Irequemly made by Prohibitionists since repeal was submitted to the people, that thirteen States would |prevent ratification of the new amendment, he de- clared, “They are mistaken.” Mr. Root added with solemnity: “There are no thirteen States to stand up against the overwhelming voice of the people of the whole United States.” This deliberate judg- ment of the veteran statesman is obviously winning acceptance in all parts of the country. Great num- bers of formerly ardent Drys are visibly coming to the conviction that it is better to abandon a losing fight and make early preparations for control of the liquor traffic in localities, as each one may elect. It would never do to permit a little enclave of States, constituting not more than 10 or 15 per cent of the whole population, to prevent the public will from taking effect. That would present a spectacle of a “dissevered Union” worse than the one which Daniel Webster could not bear to con- template. Happily, all the indications now are that the great change about Prohibition, which first of all took place, slowly but irresistibly, in the minds of the American people, will soon be recorded in striking the Eighteenth Amendment out of the law of the land.

The boys could see no one around who might have fired the bullet. They were about three quarters of a mile from the dairy ranch when, seemingly from the flats on| the bay side of the highway, the stray bullet whizzed through the| narrowly | glass windshield, and, missing Firby, continued its course through the open rear of the truck, according to the boys’ story.
