BU e sudden death of Brig. Gen. William Mitchell mn | a New York hospital takes from the world one of the | outstanding aviation figures and through his air a strong friend of Alaska. General Mitchell was convinced that Pacific Coast aerial de- fense should have as one of its major components adequate air bases in Alaska. He believed sincerely | our next war would be with powers from the west, and | steadfastly declared strong air forces in the Territory | were absolutely essential in defending not only Alaska, as a rich reserve, but also the entire Pacific Coast. | Had he lived, his influence undoubtedly would have been felt more and more in the plea for aerial bases in | the north. As it is, his suggestions and advice on the matter likely will be put to good use defense t ories The “stormy petrel” of the air was the nickname attached to the General and if being a tiery, outspoken disciple of aviation was the requirement, Mitchell fitted the cognomen. He had absolute faith in the possi- bilities of flying. He was a flying man himself, and knew what he was talking about. During the World War, Gen. Mitchell commanded our overseas forces and was the first American officer to tly o the lines. He won decorations galore for his achieve- ments. E air Mitchell saw what fighting air craft could do and when he came back home after the Armistice, as assistant chief of the air corps, he began to urge more adequate air equipment. He made some of the Navy chieftains and Admirals hostile by declaring could sink the entire battle fleet with a few well-equipped planes Buch remarks grated on those who took personal pride in our first line of defense and it didn't sit well with his superiors in the Army to suggest Uncle Sam’s tight- ing planes were out of date. but they didn't want a subordinate to tell them so. The result was that Mitchell came up for court mar- tlal for talking out of turn, and was forced to resign from the Army. He dropped more or less from public life but continued his faith and his interest in aviation. In 1934 when the air mail contracts were cancelled and the Army was put to carrying the mail, it was “Billy” Mitchell who rose from comparative obscurity to tell the world it was nothing short of murder to put the Army boys on the air mail routes. He pointed out that they were not trained for it and the army equipment was not built for such service. He praised the fighting Army birdmen, for at heart he was still one of them, but he roared in no uncertain terms about the general scheme. he From that time on, Mitchell came back more and more into the public picture. A bill is before the present session of Congress to restore him to rank in the Army. President Roosevelt was personally tond of him, admiring his courage and his ability. There was a broad hint that the President was mulling over in his mind the possibility, should the General's rank be restored, of fitting him again into a prominent place in aviation, possibly as chief of a department of air. This rumor already had whipped up considerable controversy when the General went New York hospital to “rest” in a Death makes the “rest” permanent, but the sound advice he gave aviation and the outcries he uttered in its behalf will live and be of great value to those who come after. A courdgeous, colortul, outspoken fighter and a first rate flying man is lost in the pass- ing of “Billy” Mitchell. Aviation may have many ex- ponents but it will never have a better friend JUNEAU'S LOSS, WASHINGTON’S GAIN. Interesting news to many Alaskans, especially those in Juneau who have known him so long, is the report of the transfer of H. L. Redlingshafer, Regional Fiscal Agent for the Forest Service in the Te: better post in the national capital itory, to a Entering the serv- ice in 1907, Mr. Redlingshafer has moved continually up in the ses and his appointment to Washington comes as a fitting climax to long tenure and etficient service. While Juneau is happy with the Fiscal in the promotion he well deserves, it is sor I8 leaving after long particularly part he taken in the af- fairs of the community. We in Juneau will miss him, and we wish him the best of success tion. Agent y that he and the his residence has here active in his new posi- JUNEAU'S STEADY GROWTH. Announcement by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company of plans to erect a substantial new building on its property at Second and Franklin comes as a stimulating report to the entire community. It means a fine addition to the rapidly growing metropo- lis of Alaska which is not only indicative of busines progress but lends a fresh and invigorating tone to all buildings in the city. ings, were completed along with several other jobs. Announcement of the new light company structure is indicative of what may be expected this season as Juneau continues its steady growth The only safe time to make a prediction is after the | thing has happened Some folks don’t tell what they know, while others In the quiet, dignified manner that had marked his life, Scott C. Bone early last night, sighed, relaxed and passed on into the Great Beyond, bringing to a close a career that had been marked by journalistic bril- liance and a gentility of the old school For several years Governor Bone had made his |residence in Santa Barbara but as with all men who have led active and vigorous lives he frequently sought a mental outlet with his editorial pen, being a frequent contributor to The News. He was one of the best- ormed men in the West on political history, and while he wrote with definite and unbounded fidelity jto the tenets of the Republican faith, his broadness { ¢f vision, his tolerance and understanding of mankind | permitted him to view all men and their foibles in a | kindly light. Perhaps this was possible not only because of his vast store of experience but because, first and always, he was a gentleman. | The lure of journalism had taken him into many | political battles, and across a long span of years he had served as editor on the Washington Po Washington Herald, the Seattle Post-Intelligenc: |other nationally known newspapers, as well as endear- |ing himself to the great Northwest during the time |when he served Alaska as governor. But far more important than those material complishments were the fine ideals which Gov | Bone characterized in his daily life and association with his fellowman. Quiet, cultured, ever gallant and | courteous, he was a gentleman . . , the sort one meets |and never forgets. rnor Still In Shakespeare” (Cincinnati Enquirer) Is this the twentieth century? Do the cables really bring us the news of today? Or is it the drama and romance of Shakespeare? Again an Edward and the Dukes of York, Kent, and Gloucester tread the stage —great names in the immortal plays |Avon. Tt was the honest Kent who braved the furious anger of King Lear, telling him to his face: Thinkst thou that duty shall have dread to speak | When power to flattery bows? To plainness henor's bound iWhOn majesty falls to folly. | And Kent, exiled, said in noble words: | Fare thee well, King; sith thus thou wilt appear Freedom lives hence and banishment is here. And it is Gloucester, son of King Edward IV., who stalks out on the stage when the curtain goes up with {better for knowing them: | Now is the winter of our discontent | Made glorious summer by this son of York. | Happily the present Gloucester does not in the least emble that monster, Richard IIL, who stran- gled the little Princes in the tower. But how the gal- lery gods love to hear Richard cry as he stands alone, | beaten on Bosworth Field: A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse. Shakespeare has more than one Gloucester and | white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster are the rallying symbols. There are heroes and traitors in the long line' of the men who bore the illustrious |names of York, Gloucester, and Kent. And many an |Edward walks in majesty on Shakespeare’s stage. Edward IV, with the scheming Warwick, the King- maker, is one of them. He was great-grandfather to Henry VIIL, father of Elizabeth. These names of English royalty appearing now every day in the current news hark back for 600 current years and more. They are in books of sober (history, but in Shakespeare they live and walk and 'are not dim and shadowy figures of the past, but creatures of flesh and blood whom we may see with our eyes and hear with our ears. The Inflationist Program. (New York Times) The inflationists in Congress are rallying behind | two bills as a new controversy over the currency im- pends. One is a plan, still in the drafting stage, to pay |the soldiers’ bonus with “new money.” The other is | the Frazier-Lemke bill. This should not be confused | {with the act of the same name, declared last Sprmg‘ by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutionai, then re- jenacted in amended form and now threading its way | through the lower courts again. The pr mt bill is a |totally different measure, and one of the most extra- | ordinary to be brought before this or any other session | of Congress. Like the earlier Frazier-Lemke act, it deals ‘with the farm mortgage situation, but in a much more drastic fashion. It provides for the refinancing of farm in- debtedness at the exceedingly low interest rate of 1% per cent, and on such broad terms that its benefits are to extend to any farmer who lost his property through ‘ foreclosure at any time in the last fourteen years, even though he may have bought it as a purely speculative | venture. To provide funds for this purpose, bonds are to be issued by the Farm Credit Administration. Then follows this extraordinary proviso: “And it shall be the duty of the Federal Reserve and national banks to invest their available surplus and net profits, and after the dividends are paid to their stockholders, in such farm-loan bonds.” In case so many bonds are issued that this method fails, or if 10r any other reason “all of said bonds are not readily purchased,” then they | may be presented to the Federal Reserve Board, which | would be forced to issue currency against them to | the extent of $3,000,000,000. To bring this remarkable bill before the House of Representatives, 218 signatures to a petition are | needed; 215 have been obtained. Conservauve East- ern Republicans who do not study closely the cross- currents at work within their own party should be interested in this statement of one o« the advocates of the bill: that not only many Democrats but “every Republican Congressman west of the Mississipp: River has signed this petition.” The fight now brewing will cut across both party lines. | An old-fashioned man is a tellow who still likes to lpay his way as he goes, living within his income and thinks it dishonest to go back on his word—New York Sun. “ Between Congress and the Supreme Court, the President must wonder if the initials of the Forgotten {Man aren't F.
