ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. Philip Sidney Smith, just appointed by Secretary Ickes as Alaska representative on the Public Works Ad- The Empire sincerely hopes that Dr. mininstration, will be successful. If he is not, Alaska and not he will be the loser. Upon the efficiency .and effectiveness with which he functions, the welfare of the Territory during the next ten or twelve months depends in a large measure. We ( ddmit, therefore, that altruism is not the sole incentive in our wishes for his success. The Empire is perhaps the only newspaper inI Alaska to be critical of thg appointment of Dr. Smith in advance to Secretary Ickes's action. Of course, our position was not taken on personal grounds. As we have said before, he is a capable geologist, a real executive, a delightful gentleman. Technically he is qualified for any position that he might be offered. His experience is wide and fits him to| handle almost any post to which he might aspire, or be appointed. He holds a Bachelor of Arts de- gree from Harvard, a Master's degree and a PhD, from the same institution. He was an instructor in geology and physiography at Harvard for six years. Since 1906 he has been connected with the United States Geological Survey as assistant geolo- gist, geologist, administrative geologist and director of the Alaska division of the Geological Survey. . In all respects, save one, he is eminently “ qualified for the post to which he has been ap- ! pointed. In naming administrators for the several States, Secretary Ickes has selected persons resident in the States which they represent. That was not done for political reasons. It was in keeping with the traditional Democratic policy of making the responsibility local. And local Administrators have been further strengthened by the naming of local poards to act in an advisory capacity. In appoint- ing Dr. Smith, whose home is in ‘Washington, D. C., and whose interests are almost wholly outside of Alaska, Secretary Ickes abandoned that policy for the first time. We have believed that the general practice is the wise and proper procedure. We regret that it was not pursued here. We afre confident it would have had more chances for success than the one adopted. That, of course, is not Dr. Smith’s fault. He cannot do anything but serve. And The Empire gladly extends to him its sincere promise to co- operate in every possible way to make his adminis- ¥ tration a success. It is not an easy task that he { has. He must be prepared, in the words of Gen. 3 Johnson, to stand the buffeting of “dead cats” that will be hurled in his direction. He will be “cussed” . for what he does as well as for what he doesn't do. Credit that ought to come to him will be denied him, and blame that rightfully should be bestowed on others will be deposited on his door- step. He will need the sympathetic cooperation of all Territorial, Federal and municipal agencies in public works construction. And we are certain that Alaskans will give it to him. E NCEPHALITIS. There is cause for thankfulness in the subsidence of the epidemic of encephalitis, “sleeping sickness,” which has taken heavy toll in St. Louis for the ’ past several weeks. In that city alone, deaths % have numbered almost 150. The health authorities of the National Government have been working in conjunction with local authorities in seeking a < way to combat the disease whose origin remains a mystery. While cases have been reported in New York, Illinois and Ohio, the Missouri metropolis is the only one in which the malady reached | epidemic proportions. Encephalitis lethargica of the temperate zone § rates a high mortality, but is not to be confused with the African sleeping sickness. The latter is caused by animal organism, and is transmitted from person to person by the dreaded tsetse fly. The spread of the disease in St. Louis has been rapid. As yet, the scientists have been practically helpless in dealing with it. They are exploring and experimenting. Scientific knowledge of its nature js slight—so far its cause is unknown. Dr. Joseph B. Neal, of the Neurological Insti- tute, Columbia Presbytericn Medical Center, says: Infantile paralysis is generally dreaded by all, but compared to encephalitis, its hazards are indeed normal. Encephalitis at- tacks young and old. It attacks the central nervous system—often it begins with acute illness which may be extended for months. It may escape accurate diagnoses. About 25 per cent of the diagnosed cases result fatally. Of those who recover, there develops in a large percentage of cases, usually after a period of months or years of fairly good health, a later phase of the disease in which the condition of the patient is pitiable. In i tractures of groups of muscles, or attacks resembling epilepsy. This is not a comforting picture. It is all the more disturbing when it is frankly admitted that science, up to now, can give little or no promise of relief, none at all of cure. There is one ray of hope, however. Science admits it is baffled, but| it has not ceased its efforts to solve the mystery of the source of the disease, rather has doubled them. It has conquered other dread maladies in the past. It will not cease until this one, too, gives way befort its researches and experimen-! tations. | Last Spring President Roosevelt appealed to the big navy powers to adopt a sweeping disarmament | program. They turned a deaf ear to his plea Now when he is launching a naval building program for the United States to bring her up to the pro- visions of the London Treaty, these same nations cry he is starting a naval armament race. | Used to be, and not so long ago, that the first| inkling one had of a kidnaping was when the| ransom demand came along. Now that a few of that gentry have been strong-armed into cells, it is getting more common to hear of foiled plans of kidnapers. Government's plan seems to be that a| should think twice—but only twice—before | a loan. ! | The banker making The NRA code is certainly best for industry,| but for the consumer the best coal code is “get| it in the cellar before Winter comes.” [ | Volume of Construction Low. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) The Federal public works bill, appropriating $3,300,000,000, was passed many weeks ago. Natur-| ally there would be delay in getting the wheels turning under a program so vast, but many in the construction industry are worried over the fact that our weekly average of contracts now being awarded is about half the value of the contracts awarded each week a year ago. The list of proposed projects | continues to grow, but since the passage of the public works bill there has been little or no change in the weekly trend of awards; in fact, awards have shown a steady decline. Engineering News-Record} has, for many years, made careful surveys of large contract awards and reported the value of the | work from week to week. Very few contracts re-| ported in the last month can be attributed to the public works act, the magazine points out. A year ago the weekly average for such awards was $25,-| 000,000. Now our average is about $13,000,000. Here in the Northwest we have fared better at| the hands of Federal officials, they having acted | with commendable alacrity. Here in the North-| west we have also pursued a policy all too common throughout the country of holding back our regular public works and building programs, hoping that the Federal Government would play Santa Claus. Many cities, towns, water districts, school districts, counties and other subdivisions have reduced beyond necessity the volume of improvement work. The Government officials hoped that, while the smaller communities would naturally be forced to curtail their programs due to declining tax revenue and the necessity for spending large sums for support of the unemployed, construction programs of fair size would be carried through and that the vsst} Federal fund, added to the local expenditures, would assist materially in affording work for hundreds of thousands long idle. The reduced activities of the smaller communities, coupled with delay in gettting the Federal jobs launthed, is resulting in weekly contract award values well below those of a year ago in most sections of the country. In order that the stimulating effect of the Federal appropriations may be felt, every com- munity must do its share of public work. Other- wise the governmental activities will be nullified. Everything possible should be done at this time to get jobs started. Elimination of unnecessary red tape is essential. Here in Washington we have less to complain of than in most sections, but it is a fact that there are many communities hereabouts that could do much more than they are doing to push their construction programs, instead of holding back, waiting for the Government to carry the entire burden. Alaska Publicity. (Anchorage Times.) General A. D. McRae, Canadian Senator and distinguished soldier in service of the Dominipn overseas, one of the most energetic and dynamic of public men, visiting Anchorage yesterday declared that Alaska needs publicity. He says that the gold quartz prospects: of this region are so numerous Columbia a veritable stampede would ensue. He would bring the facts regarding Alaska to the attention of the American mining and investing | public through means of a carefully directed cam- paign in the States. Here is a suggestion from a friendly neighbor who has come and seen what Alaska has and notes what she needs. The observations of General McRae should be taken home by those in position of influence who can act. Gen. McRae sees gold in the hills of Alaska, and he would get the eyes of America turned this way. He would enlist the co-operation of various commercial bodies, Kiwanis Clubs, Rotary Clubs, and various interests who should be among the first to benefit by the development of the Territory—and included in the list should be the American Government. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation and other branches of the Government interested in seeing Alaska developed to the maximum should lend a hand along the line of work suggested by the General. Transportation lines in and leading to Alaska, including trans-continental lines, and all commercial and producing agencies which will thrive off an expanded American market in Alaska should rise to the big. idea as advanced by General McRae and get busy. If the plan can be put over with the aid of Alaska’s Delegate and the Governor and others who {have the ear of Washington this splendid idea may soon be bearing fruit. Now is the time to try. It is a political maxim that no man is bigger than his party, and General Johnson wants it known that no industry is bigger than the Gov- ernment.—(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) With 23 weather bureaus closed the former Gov- ernment employees can stand out in front of the store window guessing at the number of beans in children there is often arrest of mental mlwm.""lnndmu.'lt.hlmen- tality usually unaffacted, the victims are Iterally frozen in all their motor activities and often are further disabled by uncon- the jar.—(Dayton, Ohio, News.) . lovin, and in each place met My'Beauty Hml MRS.
