DOFS THE DELEGATE ANTICIPATE
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN 1921?
1 anticipate that the effort to transfer
the fifh market from Prince Rupert to Ket
chikan will be renewed with a view of ob
taining special legislation in 1925 when it is
probable that a new tariff law will he,
enacted.
The cb'jve quotation is an extract from a letter
ltccntly published in the Ketchikan News credited by
it to Delegate Sutherland. The entiri letter was de
vote .1 to advice to fishermen on how to conduct a
publicity campaign and is not germane to the specu
lation which ihe passage quoted naturally arouses.
1 ho Ford ney-Mc('umber tariff law of 1922 is
sfrictlv a Republican measure. li is the Republican
organization's fulfillment of campaign pledge-' made in
1 20 and it will stand while the Republican admin
istration stands It may be amended in some respects
but it is net going to be replaced by another turiff
n.i long ar tho Republican party as it is now con
stituted remains in power Mr. Sutherland realizes
this fact.
The fitly prospect for a new tariff law to be
pasted in 1925 i- for the Democrats to win the
national election, electing -majorities in both Houses
of sufficiently largo number? to enable them to put
a new tariff' bill through. When Delegate Sutherland
“anticipates" the pr liability of the enactment of
now tariff schedule- in 1925, docs lie also anticipate a
Democratic victory as a prelude thereto?
PROGRESS IN STANDARDIZATION.
The year 1922 m.iw iitp-hw activity in industrial
’*» tahelatdi/aMon than any o-*• r year in the history ol
American industry, according to Albert W. Wliilney
who recently irsued a review of the 1922 report of
the American Engineering Standard Committee. The
Committee is a federation composed of national
technical societies. six departments of the Federal
government, and the principal trade associations iu
the country. Mr. Whitney is its chairman, and its
labors are all in the dirn Mon of standardization.
Notable prepare > was made during flip year In
itandardization of raw materials, of manufacturing
processes, and of finished preduets by individual firms,
by industrial and technical a^ s tations, and by bodies
that are working on national and 'international lines.
One of the mo t far-reaching accomplishments of
the year, Mr. Whitney declares, was the organization,
on a working basis, of the Federal Specifications
Hoard which develops and approves the specifications
under which all government purchases arc made, and
<the development of a plan of co-operation between
tills Board and the American Kngineering Standards
Committee; the carrying out of this plan should go
far toward eliminating the difference between speci
ilcations ft r government purchase , and specifications
for ordinary commercial supplies and should thereby
result in the savings of millions ot dollars both for
tlie government and for industry
The organization of Secretary Hoover’s Division
of Simplified Practice and its entrance into the in
dustrial field lias had a highly stimulating effect on
tfo industrial standardization movement and has
helped In particular to pre s home to the business
man that standardization is one of the main up
proaches to efficiency and the elimination of waste
The Division of Simplified Practice lias already
brought about standardization of paving brick, of
beds, mattresses end springs, and ol metal lath. It
now lias under way the standardization or lumber
and other products. The distinctii n between the
basis for this work and that of the American En
gineering Standards Ccinmitlee lies in the fact that
the Division of Simplified I’ractiee devotes itself par
ticularly to that part of the field in which decisions
must be made on a non-technical basis.
Great advance: have been made by industry itself
on the more technical side. More than 120 stuodard
ization under king new have an official stales lie
lere the American Engineering Standards Oomnifttoe,
43 cf them having been initiated within the laEt
year; fills is an incrc, of more than 50 per cent.
Of the -8 industrial standards developed and approved
by the American Engm 1 sing Standards Committee
‘•'nee its organic.. tion in tins, thirteen were approve !
within the pas year lie (Hurts to develop national
rufoty codes-, which have been under way for a num
ber of years, began lor the fir t time to bear fruit.
Tlie following six sutetv is ,l, - pointing the Way to
the elimination cf the most .ciiou classes of indus
trial accidents, were approved during the year:
Safety Code for the 1 c Care and Pro
tection of Abrasive Wheels;
Safety Cede far tlie Protection ot Indus
trial Workers in Foundries;
Safety Ced. for Power Pre.-ses, Foot and
Hand Presses;
National Electrical Safety Code-;
• Safety Code for tlie Prelection of Heads
and Eyes of Industrial Workers:
Specifications- for the Testing and Cse of
Pi trniseibie Explosives.
Another outstanding accomplishment in the Indus
trial rtiandardiz.ilion work this year was the develop
ment of the andardizatlon-iby-conferonee” idea, in
which all of ihe interests involved in the subject,
including producers, consumer.-, and representatives
of tite public iiid government, participate in deciding:
litst, whether a standardisation project is to be under
taken. and, cond, what its scope shall be and its
relation to other standardization work. j
The year 1:*22 saw also the development of an in-!
creased in' :• t in industrial standardization and as
lucre.i-ed rppi i nation of its effect on production ef-l
ficiency. distribution of costs, and consumer demand,'
on the part T such important commercial bodies as!
the international Chamber of Commerce, tlie C'ham-J
ber if CoiiMni- i e of tlie Cnitcd States, and the New]
Vcrk State Chamber of Commerce. It is highly ile-i
tirable, according to Mr. Whitney, that such co-opera-!
tlon should hi maintained if American industry is to|
ht given the i-c-mmercial advantages which will cor
| respond to t....se that are being developed through I
[standardiza! ion in Germany and England and otlierj
I foreign countries.
Th( last ear saw important developments in]
I international standardization. There are now national!
istandardization bodies in 15 foreign countries and til
r. port recent 1.’ received by the American Engineering:
Standards Committee indicates that plans: are under
way for tlie development of such work in each of the!
gcuth American republic
One of the most encouraging developments of ihe
year has been the growth of interest in standardiza
tion and simplification among the many trade asso
ciations of America. These associations, representing!
I, rge group, of producers and consumers, have ex
jtremely favorable opportunities both for developing
j iiidtisit rial standards and for putting them into effect.
It is tinivci illy recognized that standardization
is a legitimate and constructive activity of trade as
sociations. Tlie clarification of the legal aspects of
tlie question by the publication in the early part of
the year of the correspondence between the Attorney
General and Secrtary Hoover has done much to foster
mid extend standardization activity among trade as
sociations.
The Santa (laus Myth in Russia.
—
(New York Evening Post.)
From Mo ow comes tlie story of a Communist
I drive against Christmas as part of the general battle
I against religious fanaticsm. But we doubt if it
I entirely a question of religion. Until recently there
were no more fervent believers in Santa Claus than
|H>6 Russian Bolshevists, but their faith lias been tried
'beyond the breaking point.
It was not : :> long ago that the Soviet rulers of
( Russia gave themselves up to it passionate belief in
1 Santii < laus whose other name war Washington It.
■ ' antlorllp. The sullen peasantry might refuse to
'grow crops and the factories might stand idle for
I want of raw materials and skilled labor; but that
■d be till r medied by the untold wealth brought
| down the Russian chimney by Kris (Cringle Vander
lip, hailing, appropriately enough, from Kamchatka.
, Rut something must have happened to the reindeer
,0 Mr. Vunderlip himself, for the Slav stocking
I remained empty.
The Soviets did not lose hope. They scanned the
| horizon for another Santa Claus and found him.
1 his time his name was World Revolution. It was
< nly necessary ler the Russian people to hang up
|8,1 Imaginary stocking—there were no real stockings
| -and the proletariat of the world would rise in
■ revolution and till the Russian people's stocking for
■them. But again there was an unconscionable delay
it. the schedule, and the Soviet Government had to
| look for another St. Nicholas.
Again they found him. His name was Electrifica
tion. The waters of the Ural Mountains were to be
impounded and turned into electric power, and the
: Russian peasant henceforth would press a button on
i311 electric plough, his wife would sew the baby's
.clothes on a motor-driven sewing machine, and the
.peasant, after his day's work, would read his news
paper by the light ot one of Mr. Edison's lncan
(Icrci nt lamps. But once more Santa Claus disap
pointed.
Other saints on sleighs folowod in rapid suc
cession on the Communist program, and all of them
came to grief with hoof trouble. For a while l.loyd
George was the silver-whiskered visitor in red garb
i "ho would conic down (that tragically bleak chimney
to the ice-cold fireplace; no words in Moscow are
now too harsh for Lloyd George. For a while it was
the Third Internationale, also in red. For a good
iong while It was paper ruble currency based on
Santa Claus's gold reserve. Last of ull it was Santa
(laus of the New Economic Policy—and still the
stockings remain' empty.
We in the benighted capitalist countries know
that Santa Claus only dispenses what free men
:meate with the toil of their hands and their minds
under the protection of a government of their own
choice. But the Soviet rulers cannot reconcile them
selves to a government of the people's choice, to fiec
labor, to free thinking. They have been looking for
the Santa Claus who operates in a democratic vacuum.
I ving tailed to find him, they have lost faith in
Santa.
Free Speech—By Default.
(Editor amt Publisher.)
They have settled the William Allen White free
peech case in the usual way. The emergency that
ldaced the right of free speech in jeopardy has passed
I'uul the case hus been dropped, much against the will
ci the defendant, but no person else taking particular
interest in the matter.
White's crime was hanging n poster in the window
)ct the Emporia Gazette expressing 4 9 per cent, sym
pathy with the striking railway shopmen in violation
if the Kansas Industrial Court l.aw, William Allen
White's name appeared on the warrant at the time
11 he care became an issue of national importance
1 t>u% it was not his fight. It was a blow at the1* con
stitutional rights of tlie press at a time when the
'well-being of nearly a half million citizens was at
:' alre.
White naturally felt outraged that his personal
i right to express sympathy with his neighbors in
(their time of distress had been taken from him, the
neighbors grumbled, but the American press which
has grown great through Its freedom to serve by
giving expression to truth remained unconcerned.
The case drifted and now it has been dropped in a
manner that leaves the way open to invoke the same
tactics again in the next emergency Free speech is
| too vital to Hit independent press to have it booted
wound in tills slighting manner every time there is
, need for plain talking and honest expression of
1 pinion. It Is time for an active national organization
that will forget personal animosities and kikes and
; dislikes and prepare to fight each case of this kind
to a flnul decision that will leave no doubt us to the
I i nstitutional rights of the profession of journalism;
lit is time for editors and writers to present a united
I fiont toward those who would hamper their work
1 it times when presentation of all the facts is the
! greatest of all public services.
From the ado made we conclude that an ocean
voyage is only for the purpose of having plenty to
<!i ink. — (Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.)

Observations of Oldest Inhabitant
Keeping a girl in clothes is anoth
er expression that does not mean
what it used to.
The Rural Wit
“Red lemonade?-’ inquired the pret-[
ty girl at the refreshment booth.
'.Vo, never heard of it. Who wrote i
it?" asked the village cut-up.
Did He Go After a Percolator?
(Ritner Cor. McCreary County tKy.j
Record t
Perk Coffey made a trip to Stearns
on Friday.
The Difference
A man goes into a store and says: i
“Gimme a new 1!<L” pays five bucks;
—or less—and goes on his way re
joicing.
A woman after looking at every- j
thing else in too shop says “Let mo
see one of the new styles in eatable ,
browns of either coffee, chocolate,
caramel or gingerbread, which has
the velvet shirred, tucked, folded ot
smocked," and finally picks out one'
for which she pays 50 bucks—or
more- and goes on her way to return i
next day to change it for one that i ;:
even more weird.
We Suppose All the Chickens In the
Neighborhood Were There
(Jackson Center News.)
The Cosmos Club dedicated the
new henhouse of Wallae ■ DuVal near
Maplewood, Tuesday night, with a
dance.
That’s Different
"Pa, it would be silly for t man -
to stand on the bank and call ir ’
bluff on the opposite side, wouldn't!
;t?” asked Clarence.
“Yes, but you can usually m ik
the other man look silly by eai'mg
his,” replied his dad.
Fool Questions
G. B. C. asks: "Does it cost much
to express an opinion?" Well some
times the price you pay is just a
black eye, ami sometimes it is a
trip to the hospital.
If It Fits—
A kid thinks his dad is Ihe wisest i
person in the world until he begin*
asking for help with his night w >rk 1
and then he decides he Is the;
dumbest.
But we don’t think much of the
people who always say it with flow
ery language.
When parents desire to handicap!
their boys for life they name them
Percy or Reginald.
Riches may have wings, but a lot
of people who have riches don’t
stand much cham ? of ever getting
any.
Ws guess another thing that is
about as scarce as the proverbial
hen's teeth are girls who do as much
refleetihg as their mirrors do.
Many a raan who was afraid of the
dark when he was a kid is more
afraid of th-> light after he has grown1
up. I
A super st ut can also tell the'
world that large bodies reduce even,
more slowly than they move.
Not many mothers are able to man-!
age their children these day . but it
is a poor stick of a wife who still
can't manage her husband.
The only time a lazy man will
work with a will Is when he is tryina
to break 111 rich uncle’s in which he!
has bo< n cm off without a cent. j
Of course it is none of our bus:
ness, but w II bet a good many
jeweled gart >rs have been bid awsy
until the fashions change ag.,in and
there will be -ome use wearing them
What a girl needs to know c ilia:
a man is ei-y enough to catch but
he is devilish hard to hold.
Every ho s ought to have a two
minutes’ star of all the other guests
at the table so they'll know what
she intends each spoon and fork to
be used for.
