ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION CANADIAN VIEWPOINT NOT ENCOURAGING. Mr. Jermane's special dispatch to the Seattle Times of recent date, quoted briefly in an Associated Press report to The Empire, that the Interna- tional Highway project is receiving favorable atten- tion in the East is encouraging so far as American sentiment on this route is concerned. It leads to the hope that Congress, or possibly the Public ‘Works Administration without special authority from Con- gress, might be induced to authorize the Alaska section constructed and make funds available for it without delay if it were assured of Canadian co- operation. But we are far from having any assurance from Canada or any of the Provincial Governments af- fected. 1In fact, Capt. George Black, Member of Parliament from Yukon Territory and Speaker of the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa, in a recent address at Dawson took a most pessimistic attitude on the project. He was frankly opposed to the Dominion Government becoming a party to it and more than just skeptical of British Columbia’s financial ability or willingness to finance the section lying within its own borders. It is admittedly out of the question for Yukon Territory to defray the construction costs of the section within its bound- aries. Capt. Black's own idea was that possible benefits | from the building of the road would be more or less casual to both British Columbia and Yukon Territory. He doubted if it would, as claimed by the American section of the International Highway Commission, bring any material quantity of tourist traffic to the north. He wasn't hopeful that it would materially increase permanent settlement. And he argued that the tentative costs fixed by the Commission were altogether too small. The same attitude will be found In other high places in Canada. If we realize that now and pre- pare to meet it with whatever facts are available and with a logical argument, we may overcome the opposition. If we go at it blindly, we shall find the project delayed indefinitely. The conclusions of the American section of the Commission that the project is fundamentally sound, and will lead to development of latent resources in Alaska and in both of the Canadian Provinces, and quicken and multiply their permanent settlement are borne out by experience in both the United States and Canada. The winning of the West was made possible first by primitive roads and trails, transcontinental railroads and, later, wagon roads that tapped them. The same thing is being proved here. Without these adjuncts there can be and will be no actual permanent settlement. Canada, we believe, can be convinced of this. Meanwhile, there is encouragement in Mr. Jer- mane’s view that early action may be taken in ‘Washington to authorize the Government to proceed in negotiations with Canada on the project, and possibly to initiate action looking toward construc- tion of the Alaska section. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS RESTIVE. It is not other than natural that the old line Democrats of the Senate, who are reported to have sponsored a round-robin to the President, are getting impatient about matters of patronage. With thou- sands of political positions still retained by ap- pointees of preceding Republican regimes and Re- publicans getting some of the more luscious of the new plums emanating from the emergency admin- istrations, it is enough to make the disciples of the redoubtable Andrew Jackson shudder in alarm and incline to develop a more than slight temperature. After all, certain of the spoils have to go to the victoris if organization ranks are to remain intact and party workers kept in that frame of mind that best conduces to the successful conduct of future campaigns. It is true that President Roosevelt's time has been largely occupied with launching the measures upon which he is staking the future of the Demo- cratic party as well as the recovery of the nation from this four-year depression. If they fail of their objective, then the party is again put on the de- fensive. It was good organization strategy for Mr. Roosevelt to go slow on appointment during the special session of Congress. Even the Democrats, hungry for a bit of patronage after 12 years in the wilderness, recognized this and curbed their impatience while they did the President's bidding in enacting the legislative program to meet the economic emergency. With that out of the way, it was to be expected that they would demand action in the way of recess appointments. Some have been made, but not nearly enough to satisfy those, particularly members of Congress, who have to account to their constituents for such things as filling offices. * President Roosevelt is too astute a politician not to recognize the position they are in, and not to act in a manner that will relieve them of em- seems to be indicated by the two Alaskan appoint- Others, we are certain, will not in making their appearance. ments just made. be long THE DAWNING Among all the signs of returning prosperity, none is brighter than the statistics relating to employ- The National Industrial Conference, an un- official body, has issued figures showing that employment in the United States increased by better than 10 per cent in July over June, and that this is the largest monthly percentage gain recorded in 14 years. July was the fourth successive month in' which i“ gain was registered in employment, and in addi- tion to that it was shown that the people who [had jobs were, on the average, working longer Jhuul's in July than had been the case in June. | The tide is rising—not as rapidly as might be desired, perhaps, but very steadily. Whatever may be the cause, and whoever may deserve the credit, we seem at last to be emerging from the depression. Could there possibly be better news than that. Secretary Woodin opines there may be a surplus in the National treasury at the end of the current fiscal year. We hope it doesn’t turn out like the surpluses of the Hoover regime — they were all deficits. ment A Newark brewer is going to experiment with doing away with bottles and putting beer up in tins, “just like spinach.” Must be figuring on promoting the “rushing the growler” trade. He Served Well. (Seattle Times.) In the death of Mark E. Reed will be noted and mourned the passing of one whom our people will accord—indeed already have accorded—distinc- tion as the first citizen of his State. He served them long; invariably he served them well, and in all things he served them with no more trace of selfishness than is properly inseparable from a sense of righteous effort. He was selfish only in the unfailing desire that the service he gave so willingly should be of benefit to all Son of a father who was distinguished in the public life of the Territory and the young State, many of the fine traits so notably manifested in {the character of Mark Reed were his by virtue of inheritance. The values of that heritage were hap- pily enhanced under paternal guidance; the friend- ship between father and son was altogether old- fashioned, -affectionate and enduring. It was but natural, then, that in his own time Mark Reed's highest devotion was to his family. Of this there was no parade; it was as simple and as sweet as it was steadfast. | . . . . It it in this, in his home life and his personal inclinations, that were to be found the wellsprings of his broad sympathy for others; his lively interest t‘“ the problems of human existence; his zeal for the welfare of men and women and children how- ever situate. Qualified beyond most men for any responsibility with which he might have been charged, for any honor that might have come to him, he sought nothing that might have been of consequence to himself, but moved on under the urge of desire to do things for the common good. Though but from time to time in temporary place of official title, he was for years a towering figure in the affairs of the State. Appearing modestly as representative of one of the less popu- lous counties his qualities for leadership were in instant evidence. No man in State history has been so trusted by the people; none has proved more worthy -of such trust. Ever ready to fight for what he knew to be the right, he came oc- casionally under the criticism of those who thought otherwise; but no passing assault ever left the least dent in his armor of sincerity and honest purpose. . » . . Circumstances mainly of his own creation and under his own control made of Mark Reed one of the State’s foremost business men. His interests were extensive and varied. His able counsel was sought and welcomed in the weightiest of problems. All this, with his unfailing attention to public affairs, would seem to have been enough to fill his days to the last available moment. But he was never too busy for his family or for his innumer- able personal friendships; never too busy for the multitude of casual calls upon his time; never too busy to pause long enough to do somebody “a good turn.” X Truthfully it has been written, “'Tis always morning somewhere in the world” Life runs on for the living, though one by one they lay aside their task and their enjoyments for the rest from which we may not hope to wake them. Mark Reed has gone to rest, and words meant for the comfort of those who loved him best, his family and his friends, may at the moment fall upon unheeding ears. But morning will come again and again, and poignant grief must yield to tender memory. His State and his people, the land of his birth and they that dwell therein, will not forget nor ever fail of gratitude to him. A Code for Leisure. (Detroit News.) John W. Davis, returning from foreign shores a few days ago, declared that every one ought to work eight hours a day, and expressed the fear that those deprived of this privilege by NRA would not know how to use their leisure. Few of them, he said, would read improving books. Mr. Davis is to have an opportunity to show the garment work- ers, who now have a maximum of thirty-five hours a week instead of the old sweatshop week of sev- enty hours or more, how to use their leisure. Under the law you can lead a man to leisure, but there is nothing in the Industrial Recovery Act, or the Constitution, or any legislation passed by Congress, under which any committee, even one appointed by Grover Whaler, can compel an Am- erican citizen to use his leisure according to a code. Even if Mr. Davis gets up a list of improving books, the committee can't make anybody read them. Nevertheless, we believe the committee will function well, on that fine old American formula that everyone has a right to regulate the lives of other people.

Parker, a 22-year-old aviator, has declared war on Jack Frost and has contracted for a series of night air raids against him. The prize to this Redgranite,’ Wis. collegian will be $400—money enough to permit him to renew his studies at Northwestern Univer- sity. Swamp Is Battleground The battleground is a 400-acre field of potatoes in a reclaimed swamp near here. Marked only by the drone of the second-hand airplane’s motor, the battle is waged on still, cloudless nights, between midnight and 5 in the morning. On still nights, cold air tends to flow into low places, and when temperatures are low the air gath- ering in swampy areas may Qe cold enough to form frost there, although other regions a few hun- dred yards away escape entirely. Keeps Air Stirred Up Parker's strategy is to keep the in motion so that the cold air currents cannot settle into the low places. It's all strictly on a “win or lose” basis. { It the potatoes do mot freeze,| John Erickson, owner of the potato | field, will pay him $400. If they do freeze, Parker gets no pay—| but even then, he reflects opti-| mistically, he will have added con-| siderable “hours” to his air record.| Devastating droughts have played havoc with potato crops. To insure sufficient moisture for growth swamp lands have been re- claimed. ! But in the solution of the mois-| ture problem another was born in the susceptibility of such areas to killing frosts. | So Parker took the job of keep- ing the air churned up on frosty| nights, despite hazards of flying scarcely more than 100 feet off| the ground in the dark.
