Yesers and Noers published here; ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARG THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION (Boston Herald) No-men are smarter than yes-men. Many who responded too readily to the affirmative optimism |- of the late 'twenties may have suspected this. Now it seems to have an apparent scientific sanction as a result of personality experiments at Teachers College, Columbia University. Studies of eighty-four human | subjects seem to indicate clearly that those who are |rather slow to react to propositions, no matter how glowing, are likely to have more intellectual solidity than their more sanguine fellows. Apparently no special attention was given to those who do their yesing purely as a measure of diplomacy. These, it would seem, are a group apart and in the eye of science might be considered bogus yesmen. The investigation has to do, instead, only with general all-round dispositions. There are those, it appears, who really like to say yes. They simply react that way. No-men, on the other hand, although they lack the self-confidence of the others, are less prone to vain regrets in the long run. Their mental resistance, one might infer, saves them a loot of bother. The yes- men, however, are depicted as fine, hearty and,sociable fellows. They may not be assintelligent as their oppo- sites, but are grand to meet. if you are in the dumps.— Boston Herald. g EXTENDING TERMS OF JUDGES A bill is now before the House of Representatives to extend the terms of Federal District Judges in Alaska to 10 years. It already has been approved by the Senate without apparently angimarked opposition Down in the States Federal Judges are appointed for life and the practice genetally.has met with fayor by barristers and laymen alike on the premise that the system makes for a more ifidependent coutt. Com= parison of procedure in the Federal cofrt& .and. the State courts as found Outsidle reveals sfch glaring| differences that virtually no objection is fotirid to 1he‘ Federal life appointment system. Whereby the elec- tion of State court Judges is constantly a bone of dispute.

So excellent a record as the one War Admiral ha established is not the kind of record that just a plain good horse could establish with luck. He has done | all that he has been asked to do, and there have been no “ifs” about his performances. When he returns to racing after his injured heel is well, there is ex- cellent prospect that he may gain even greater laurels. One must await the completion of his racing career, of course, before his record can be compared | with that of his sire. Not even then, perhaps, should | one conclude that he is greater of four years. If the Judges so elected expect to re- main in office they must keep themselves in good standing with the majority of the voters. Thus it is obvious that part of the court’s independence is naturally lost Alaska, of course, has no problem of electing State Court Judges but a parallel can be found in appoint- ments which are made of Judges for the Territory for a period of four years, making the Jurists subject to the political party in power. The Territory has been fortunate in getting good Judges. At the present time it has an excellent set of Jurists. Each Division has an exceptionally high caliber man on the bench. There is no question of court independence in Alaska, but political alignments change. Four-year appointments are subject to those changes. No one can foretell what the future may bring. Thus it would appear that extending the term of office for Federal Coert Judges in the north would give the Territory assurance of an adequate judiciary. The time may arrive when life appointments as in States will be extended to Territories. In the meantime, extension of the four-year term to one of 10 years i a step in that direction and probably will meet with general favor. coniing the sire himself of horses as great or greater than he. After all, Man o' War is entitled to much of the credit for what his son has done.

Signed contracts, the companies ind have held, would lead to the closed: shop and the check-off system of collecting union dues. Under the check-off system a company deducts union dues from a worker's pay and hands the money to the union. The companies claim such oconditions would violate a worker’s liberties.
