Alaskans, who knew him, thought nothing of his famous tradition of making his hotel guests take care of their own baggage. They as a matter of course. Traveling men and tourists, who were often used to the best hotel service, gloried in it was originality the hotel business. Many a world traveler home to his clubs his fine hetels with the one proud boast that he had stayed at a hotel in Alaska where the proprietor not only refused to show you to your room but made you take your baggage up the stairs with you.

Reports emanating from wherever he happens to appear indicate strongly that he is a two-fisted, shrewd courageous fighting man Mr. Kennedy, you will recall, is the mar who has been chairman of the Maritime Commission. and re- cently was appointed by President Roosevelt as Am- bassador to the Court of St. James in England. Re- ports would indicate that not since Charles Dawes, he of the under-slung pipe, represented America in Great Britain has this country had such a forceful figure destined to represent it in the British Empire . Arthur Bogue of Craig gave a lasting impression of the man the other day when he spoke before the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Bogue was in Seattle when Mr. Kennedy spoke at the biggest Chamber of | Commerce meeting they ever had in that cily. He attended the gathering and heard the head of the Maritime Commission call a spade a spade and tell fighting laborites and employ in Seattle and on| the Coast that they had better use their heads and| get together if either expected to survive. | It was significant, Mr. Bogue reported, that the ship tieup in Seattle was settled within an hour after Mr. Kennedy had spoken. The former did not go so far as to say that it was that particular Kennedy talk which settled the strike, but he did point out that the very force of the man when he arrived on the |financial succes: THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, JAN. 22, 1938.

Neither was that indirect subsidy granted by government to pro- tect itself from newspaper criticism. The rate was made low, many decades ago, on the natural and sound theory that the transmission of public intelli- gence is peculiarly necessary to good citizenship in democracy. Time has shown the wisdom of this policy, for the daily and weekly press throughout our national history has been the basic medium of infor- ! mation for virtually all citizens The President’s suggestion that newspapers move toward abandonment of thi unwise.

The net effect of such a | change in second-class rates probably would be to enable large publishers to absorb more and more of | the business now retained by a multitude of small] publishers.
