ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. A JUST FATE. Rounding up of the Urschel kidnaping gang prob- ably was the first real blow dealt at the vicious child abduction ‘“racket” in this country but the actual knockout punch was delivered yesterday by that jury of four women and eight men in the little courthouse at Flemington, N. J, when they found Bruno Hauptmann, Lindbergh baby killer, guilty as charged and recommended the death penalty. Fathers and mothers throughout the land are right now giving a vote of thanks to that jury and resting considerably easier in the knowledge that the horrible practice of kidnaping will not be countenanced in this land of law-abiding men and women. And it should not be overlooked the fine job the Deparment of Justice agents have turned in this and similar cases. Never for a moment did officers let up from the time in March of 1932 when the fair-haired son of Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh was snatched from his crib and brutally slain until Bruno Hauptmann, arch criminal, was brought to Jjustice for perpetrating one of the most atrocious crimes on record. America is grateful for this highly trained and efficient body of men, the guard- ians of human rights and justice. Hauptmann will go to his death in the electric chair, a guilty man who had every opportunity to present his defense. Some of the best legal minds o the land were rallied to his legal staff. He was glven a fair and impartial trial. The State of New Jersey and Federal Government spent huge sums that the sacred right of honest trial be given him Now the penalty is his to pay. There’ 3s; Mttlejor, mo sympathy for the Brony fiend but there is a tinge of regret in this as in similar cases that the innocent must suffer with the guilty. The faithful wife, infant son and heart-| broken mother in Germany must bear the stain. Such is our existence in this life; the helpless too often must carry the yolk. PULP POSSIBILITIES. Oongressional action for protection of the pulp indutsry through tariff on shipments from foreign countries is asked in a memorial introduced before the Territorial Legislature by Representative Barono- vich of Ketchikan with the support of the Ketchi- kan Chamber of Commerce. As pointed out in the memorial the pulp industry can and eventually will be developed to become one of Alaska’s major industries, taking its place with fishing, mining and the other outstanding industries of the Territory which hr.ve, despite many obstacles, risen to a place of prominence, employing thousands of men and furnishing the bulk of the revenue for| handling Territorial affairs. Congress can do well to take cogniance of the future of the northland and legislate for its pro-| tection with the. aim of building for the future. Alaska pulp cannot hope to compete in the markets of the world under the great handicap Canada and other countries now hold over it, but given an equal oportunity it can hold its position with any of them. As Mr. Baronovich pointed out in his re- quest there are untold millions of feet of spruce, .hemlock and other timber suitable for making pulp in the Territory much of which now is simply going to waste. There is no limit to the potential water power throughout the pulp wood area and water transportation is readily available. The United States Forest Service has estimated THE and development of solid industries with: the hope of taking up the employment slack is one of the major objectives of the Administration and Alaska pulp can fit right into that picture. Given the official backing of the Territory there is every |reason to believe the matter can at least get| proper hearing and some consideration at this ses-’ sion of Congress. | Horrors of Peace. (New York Times.) A kind of pacific mania seems to be descending upon the whole earth. Prophecies of the “inevitable” | | war are giving way to predictions of peaceful settle- | ment. Wherever an international controversy shows itself, with a tacit thre:t of hostilities—except for the continuous pefformance going on in the Chaco— the universal expectation is that diplomacy will be) sufficient to cope with'it. Just now we learn that China and Japan have agreed upon the price to be paid by the latter for the Eastern Railway. A little while ago that was to have been a sure origin of war. It is but one of many incidents showing the fatal drift into a spirit of all-embracing peace. Italy ané France, which were to have been leaping at each differences between them. The French Foreign Min- | ister announces his firm purpose to establish lasting | peace with Berlin. Not to remain outside this new | world-atmosphere, the United States Government | has just expressed regret to Canada for having vio- lated internationa]l law in the chase and sinking ‘of a Canadian ship. Apologies instead of altima- |tums! Can such things be? The worst of it is that rulers today proceed as if such a peaceful attitude and peaceful settle- | ments were the natural order of good government. |They appear to regard preservation of good rela- tions with other countries, the maintenance of | foreign commerce, the exchange of ideas and in- |ventions as well as goods, as if they were really more important than flag-waving and bristling ex- citements. The Continental taunt used to be that England has become a nation only of shopkeepers. | All countries now not only merit the epithet but | delight in it. They want to find customers for '.heh" | products, and are willing to concede points of honor, if they can arrange to set bills of exchange flowing 1in their favor.

The flight commander, Graham White, famous racing birdman, fell into the sea but was rescued. W. H. Case returned to Juneau on the Mariposa. He was accom- panied by Mrs. F, A, Case and two children who planned to make their home here. Royal R. "lmen, mining engi- neer of Dawson, Y. T., and a son of Mrs. Harriet 8. Pullen of Skag- way, was a visitor in Juneau. J. A. Wilcox and Roland H. Mar- tin, of the Gastineau survey force, returned from Eagle River. Ernest B.

" | The prison break in California is more than| an act of desperate criminals. It is a warning. For years San Quentin Penitentiary has been scandalously overcrowded. Built to hold 3,500 men, | it houses nearly 6,000. Recently a prison investigator returned to Washington after visiting San Quentin. He predicted early trouble there as a result of overcrowding and idleness. Not Tong ago Alexander Paterson, Commissioner of Prisons for England and Wales, visited and stud- ied American prisons. He was shocked at the lack of room and work in many of them. He ventured the suggestion that we shorten our senselessly long | prison sentences, increase the use of paroles and | probation, fit prison population to prison capacity or vice versa, provide daily programs of State-use work and other activity. The Wickersham Commission discovered alarm- |ing conditions of. overcrowding and idleness. The | recent Ullman Committee report to NRA suggested | a nationwide program for industrialization of prisons | for employment of prisoners on State-use work, Why should it require such cruel lessons to.| teach the States that idle men huddled into close [quarters will plot riots and jail deliveries? | | { It may be true that as Scott said, “The stag at| | eve had drunk his fill,” but at a stag party, un—| | fortunately, he goes on and drinks for six hours | longer.—(8t.
