DEMOCRATIC PRAISE FOR Sl'TH ERLAND
If Delegate Dan Sutherland sought aid from the leuding organ of the
Democrats in Alaska, he could not well have secured a better recommen
dation than that recently given him by the Juneau Empire. The one trou
ble with Dan in the eyes of the Empire is ue reappearance of the Ohost of
Full Territorial Form of Government. Dan has not secured this for the Ter
ritory. Sulzer was at Washington; Grigsby was at Washington, when De
mocracy was rampant there and still the Full Form did not come. Tlie
Ghost has been laid for a few months and now at election time reappears as
it has regular!} reap; eared at each election. It appears to be one of those
elusive mirage like t. ings. with somany erie qualities that Democratic
c.en, who have served in Congress were not able to make their fellows in
tower see it. and it can be seen only now and then by the sponsors of Dem
ocrats when a Republican is likely to win the election.
That Dan Sutuerland has made good the last term, and that he will
be a greater power in the coming Congress is au assured tact from his past
record. He deserves reelection on his record, and his standing in the ter
ritory. Most Alashaus are thinking along this line.
DEPENDENTS AND PROHIBITION
Seventeen cities have been carefully studies by American Association
for organizing Family Welfare Work and the Bostou Family Welfare Socie
ty. for the purpose of comparing the effect of drink on families helped by
welfare agencies before prohibition and since. The two years compared
were 191T and 1921.
The records of 30,000 families w ere studied. The fact discovered was
that there had been a decrease in drink varying from 40 per cent, iu Fort
land, Ore., to 100 per cent. In Fawtucket, R. I. The average decrease is
nearly 90 per cent. The big cities, such as St. Louis, Chicago, Boston,
Cleveland and New York, showed just as high a decrease for these familios
as did smaller cities.—Morning Register.
DELEGATE DAN SECT RES THE TRANSFER
For some weeks past Delegate Sutherland worked diligently with tlie
War and Interior departments at Washington, iu an effort to have the U. S.
army river steamers Davis and Jacobs transferred to the Alaska Engineer
ing Commission. He desires that the steamers run in connection with the
Alaska Railwa}, so that the deplorable transportation condition that now
exists on the Yukon and Tanana rivers may be vastly improved. Before
tue Delegate left Washlngtou recently he was given assurance by botu de
partments that the transfer would be made and that a bill necessary to af
fect this purpose would be sent to Congress iu December. In the mean
time it is expected that the steamers will be overhauled, passenger accom
modations increased and coal instead of wood used as fuel. Delegate Suth
erland s hope is that the steamers will be placed on a regular schedule next
summeer and run through to Dawson, so as to give something like adequate
mall, passenger and freight service to river points.—Juneau Capital.
EDITORIAL
CANADA'S NEW ERA
i Advices of the last few days indi
cate that Canada Is about to enter
upon a new era in immigration and
development. This young nation,
with ai area of three and three
quarters million square miles, today
has a population of little more than
two persons to the square mile. Bel
gium. with an area or only a little
over 11,000 square miles, has 6,500.
000 people, or more than 600 to the
square mile; England with an area
of something over 50.000 square
miles has a population of 500 or
more to the square mile. Other older
countries also have very dense popu
lations crowded into smaller area
There the struggle for life is in
tense and life runs in grooves and
is severe. Canada offers a vast con
trast. Not all of the Dominion can
be expected to support as dense a |
population as some of the older,
countries, but the vast prairies and
other provinces of Canada barely
have entered upon their develop
ment.
Tl.e announcement bv Sir John
Willison of Toronto, and associates
that the Canadian Colonization As
sociation has a project on foot to get
10.000.000 acres of land In the Do
minion placed under cultivation is
one of the important new steps In j
the development of Canada. He pre
dicts that the next twenty-flve years
will se the greatest period of expan
sion in the history of Canada, and
says the whole coutineut is destined
to experience an unprecedented
awakening on these lines.
A new movement is launched. No
work can succeed without enthusi
asm and the spirit ot enthusiasm.
The Dominion has caught the spirit
The government has laid down a
progressive policy regarding lmrai
gration. Optimism prevails. The
best of immigrants are to be selected
and diverted this way. Their brawn
and brain will be directed in build
ing up within the boundaries 01
Car.adn one of the most prosperous
portions of earth.
Canada will teem with life and
activity and will be a land of oppor
tunlty to the new generation of Can
adians and to those, who come to
join her. It will be a great privilege
to live in Canada and share her pros
perity.—Dawson News.

NOTABLE VOYAGE!
Performance of the William Penn
Interests Shipping People.
AROUND WORLD IN 197 DAYS
Expert* See Evidence of Advance In
New Type of Boat Propulsion—No
Expenditure for Repair* and a
Saving of $70,000 in Fuel Are Out
standing Features of Maiden Trip
of Shipping Board's Motorshlp—First
Largs Motor Ship.
A voyage nrounil the worll In 197
days, covering 28,:'00 miles; no expen
ditures fur repairs and u saving In
fuel alone of $TO,OUO are the out
stending features of the maiden Jour
ney of the shipping board motor ship
William 1'eun.
Tii.' performance of the William
Penn lias been watched with unusual
Interest by shipping men as an out
standing test of the value of the Die
sel, or Internal combustion, engine,
compared with the steam power now
generally In use on ocean vessels
throughout the world.
As a result of the voyage Cramp en
gineers predict a more rapid growth
of motor ship tonnage. It Is pointed
out that, as a result of greater econo
mies, practically all of the motor ships
In various countries, regardless of
age, are in active use, while a large
proportion of the steamships are uow
Idle.
The Diesel motor still Is In process
of development anil is In use chletly on
freight vessels up to 11? knots speed
and 12,0(10 tons. Experiments on fast
er and larger ships are in contempla
tion.
First Large Motor Ship.
The William Penn lias the distinc
tion of being the first large American
motor ship suitable for deep-sea cargo
trade. She Is operated by the Barber
Steamship lines for the shipping board
and recently returned to New York.
Mr. Metten describes her voyage as
follows:
"The I'enn Is 455 feet over all, with
a draft of 28 feet loaded, of 12.375
tons deadweight carrying capacity.
She Is propelled by two Cramp-Bur
meister & Wain type sir-cylinder
Diesel engines, having cylinders of
20H*lnch diameter and 45 S4-Inch
stroke, each engine directly connected
to a propeller through shafting, the
vessel being twin-screw. The engines
are designed to develop together 4,500
Indicated horsepower when turning at
115 revolutions per minute. There are.
In addition, three auxiliary Diesel en
gines, each directly connected to 05-k.
w. generators.
"There are several sister hulls,
equipped with either steam turbines or
reciprocating engines, which have
been laid up for the last year due to
their Inability to mn at a profit, while
the motorshlp William I'enn has been
able to show a fair return to the own
ers and operator during the recent
slump In shipping.
"The William Penn left New Yort
on September 3, 1921, stopping at
Savannah to complete loading. She
then sailed to the Far East via Pana
ma canal and Honolulu. The first stop
to discharge cargo was at Yokohama
The vessel then proceeded In succes
■don to Kobe, Shanghai, Foochow,
Swatow, Hongkong and Manila. At the
latter named place unloading was com
pleted and loading again commenced
for the return voyage. Stops were
made at Cuba. Philippine Islands.
Surabaya, Singapore. Straits Settle
ments, Suez. Port Said, Marseilles.
London, Rotterdam and Liverpool.
From the latter place the vessel sailed
on March 6 for New York In ballast,
arriving on the afternoon of the l»th,
after having experienced some very
severe gales In the North Atlantic,
the wind at one time attaining a
velocity of 110 miles an hour.
Ready for Another Trip.
"After this long trip of r early 80,
X)0 miles the vessel returned to Its
home port with propping machinery
In perfect condition, with no expendi
tures required for repairs, find ready
to put to sea again after refueling.
"The longest non-stop run was from
Singapore to Suez, or 4.943 nautical
miles, taking neurly eighteen days,
with a mean speed of 11.48 knots.
"The oil consumption of main and
auxiliary engines was 13.41 tons per
day. This total consumption Is less
than one-third that required for the
sister hulls having geared steam tur
bines. the motorshlp In addition mak
ing from one knot to one and one-half
knots better speed. In port, when load
ing or unloading the auxiliary engines
consume for the twenty-fours about
150 gallons per day, or 48 tons, which
Is less than one-tenth that for an
equivalent steamer.
"The best speed was made the day
before arrival In New York, which was
12.8 knots, with engines developing
4.700 Indicated horsepower, thus prov
ing that Diesel engines do not fall oil
In power at the linlsh ot a long run.
■is Is usual with the steam plant.
"The totnl time required for tht
lO.vace. counting twenty-four hourF
to the day, was 197 days. The total
number of days In the various portF
was eighty-six. The time at sea was
'1)8 day*."

COL MOSS
Colonel James A. Moss, United
States army, will, upon bis own ap
plication, the War Department has
just announced, be retired (roin ac
tive service after more than trirty
two years' service. Colonel Moss has
written more military books, thlrty
flve in number, than any other mil
itary author the world has ever
known. Several of his works have
for several years been standards in
the Regular Army, the National
Guard, and the Organized Reserves.
More than three hundred thousand
copies of one of his books, "Manual
of Military Training,'• were used dur
ing the World War. Throughout the
National Army it wis popularly call
ed, "The Military Bible."
Colonel Moss is also the author
of the presant system of correspond
ence in use in the United States ar
my, a modern, common sense sys
tem which several years ago super
ceded the old unbusinesslike, ver
bose form of indorsement and cum-1
bersome method of letter-writing.
When General Leonard Wood was
Chief of Staff of the army he had
Colonel (then Captain) Moss placed
on duty in his office for the special
purpose of reducing and simplifying
the then burdensome administrative
work of the army. It used to take
the first sergeant and the company
clerk of every organization In the
army the last three days of every
month to prepare in long hand three
copies of the pay roll, on a blank
form three feet wide. Captain Moss
designed a new pay roll of standard
letter-size, throe copies of which
could be made at one tlmo on an or
dinary typewriter. Since then It has
taken the first sergeaut and the com
pany clerk about three hours instead
of three days every month to pre
pare the pay roll of the company.
