FRUGALITY AM) HONESTY IN
GOVERNMENT.
Lower governmental expenditure*) and lower taxa
tion us stabilizing remedies for disturbed conditions
are constantly gaining more udovcates throughout the
wot id. Tlie campaign for the suppression of the
mania for more and more government and the conse
quent mounting costs is becoming popular. An il
lumining illustration ol this fact is furnished in the
popularity gained by Stanley Baldwin, British Chan
cellor rf lhe Exchequer, when he declared the other
day: "I am j-.oing to break the policy of terrific gov
ernmental expenditures or it will break me.” Today
newspapers and others all over England are demand
ing that Baldwin alia 11 become Premier in the event
that Law retires.
Baldwin was one of those who stood steadfastly
for the payment by Britain on terms satisfactory tu
Americans of every farthing of her indebtedness tc
this country. lie bleicves in honesty and frugalttj
in government.
Frugality and honesty go hand in hand with gov
oimnents us with individuals. The world needs mori
of botli In all lines of human activity. The govern
incuts can meet their just debts if they will cut thi
governmental expenditures to tile essentials and the;
can reduce taxation anil leave the produced wealti
in the channels of trade and industry to product
more trade and industry and thus guaranty continue)
progiess and expansion.
! , THEN AND NOW.
A rhc;t time ago when people wanted a eollegi
or a library or a park or soar.' ether public improve
jnent they went to those who had succeeded
business and accumulated surplus wealth, or one whe
liud inherited if, for subscriptions. Thai was a re^
distribution of money that hurt nobody. Now at
extra tax i levied and the burden falls on those
who are struggling to put a business on its feet
to establish a home, to educate children and provide
defense against the ivqlf that too often hovers about
door steps in old age.
The United States has made wonderful progress
in beautifying itself, providing tine buildings and
parks for the public benefit and otherwise making
the country better and more beautiful. And appre
ciation tf the result’ ties caused people to demand
further and fester progress along those lines. The
burden on burlne. « anil economical progress, however,
liar been terrific, and it is lime for the country to
slo wdown. The resulting high taxes is drawing so
heavily from funds needed in the conduct of business
that it is causing constantly advancing prices and a
top-hcav.v business and industrial structure.
It might he well to return to the old scheme for
a time until things become stabilized'again.
PRINCE RUPERT FAVORS CANADIAN
FISHING CRAFT.
Canadian halibut fishermen are getting higher
prices for flrh at Prince Rupert for their catches
than American boats, according to the Prince Rupert
News. It a|So U reported from the Canadian town
ttiat Canada will probably restore the $1 a ton tax
ci American fishing vessels calling at Canadian ports
at an early dale unless some agreement is rea hed
by which Canadians get concessions believed there
to be commensurate with the advantages that accrue
to American vessels through the use of Canadian
porls.
i T1,p Prince Rupert News of May 11 contained the
U llowing
.. (anadian hulibut tbo&Ls u^.iin rwpivod
higher prices for (heir catches than Ameri
can boats at the Fish Exchange this morn
ing. hour Canadians were in which t’6 -

ocats. Nino American sciiooners with a
tofol of 171,(100 pounds averaged somewhat
l\t'ver lor first class ti h and one cent lower
In all cases for secanda. A total of 198,000 '
pounds were sold.
• Tlie News complained recently that American fish
ermen were getting advantages at Prince Rupert of
greatly mo It value to them titan tile benefits that
accrue to Prince Hu-pert, and declared that trome
rhing Should be .lone to give the Canadian fisher
men a bettur break there.
NEWSPAPER CHANGES HANDS.
The trantu-r of the Sitka Tribune from Sidney 1),
Charles-, veteran Alaska newspaper man who founded
it, to (’. F. M. Cole, who for many years owned and
ernductrd the McCarthy New#, is the latest Alaska
newspaper deal to take place. It is announced that
Mi. Charles will remain at Sitka. Mr. Cole recently
cold out his newspaper at McCarthy.
The new editor of the Tribune is enthusiastically
pleated with his change of residence, and s-ees great
things ahead for Sitka. His fellow First Division
Journalists will wish that all his hopes for the Tri
bune apd Sitka may come true.
’U»® retiring editor and publisher, has
been connected . with the newspaper game In Fair
banks, Cordova and Juneau. He was a very capable
and loyal member of The Empire staff for sometime.
He will take into retirement the goodwill of all
Alaska newspapermen and the wish that he may not
long remain in retirement.
Hr. Harding, father of the President, in a recent
address dcilared that his grandfather was a sister of
the mother of Jefferson Davis, President of the Con
federate Stales of America. That would ip ike the
President's fattier a first cousin of the late head of
j the Southern Confederacy.

Defends Flappers.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
"1 am one of those who stand for the flapper,"
says the Rev. Dr. William E. Gardner of Omaha.
"She is a symbol of tlie time. As she sweeps down
the street she is like nothing so much as a young,
spirited puppy dog, eager for the fray. We do wrong
;tr condemn uteoi. to deeiy them, to suspect them,
j Most Christians all over the world, and especially if
they come from Now England, have a conscientious
feeling that unless goodness is accompanied by a due
amount if discomfort it is not goodness. The youth
of llie day has repudiated this idea."
It Is a wrong idea and Us repudiation, even by the
flapper, would be a service if that were the purpose
;of flupporism. But is it? The flapper has no thought
I of supplanting uncomfortable goodness by virtue. The
(important distinction between goodness and virtue, as
j Shaw remarks, lias never been made by tlie Anglo
| Saxon mind, but it is none the less valid for that
reason, and if goodness or goody-goodness calls for
; discomfort in order to be genuine tlie flapper lias a
.right to rebel. But unfortunately her rebellion is far
j too comprehensive. She does not stop at protest
I against an irksome and narrow Puritanism, hut defies
i parental restraint, school discipline and conventions
that are social rather than religious.
if Rlie were merely the apostle of a more joyous
| life and greater personal liberty rhe flapper might be
; welcomed as the hope of a nation that Is afflicted
i with a growing tendency' to make every human ac
! tivily the subject of a restrictive law—she might
(come in lime lo save us tea, coffee and tobacco. But
the flapper wants to go her own way at her own gait
jin everything, regardless of the truth that without
j discipline a sound education Is impossible. Respect
j for authority in youth is the foundation of respect
j for the law in maturity.
As we sow. so shall we reap, and fiupperism is not !
J good sowing, for Hie harvest may be rebellion in all
j tilings.
Parties That Are Shot to Pieces.
(Now York World.)
j The President of the National Republican Club
'ihope.- to see the time "when men who have been
\ elected by Republican votes and supported by Re
publican nowsputpers and who call themselves lle
| publicans, but who at every opportunity aEsail a
i Republican Administration, President and Cabinet,
litre thrown out of the Republican Party and over
i into the Democratic Party, where they belong." To
; make sure that his hearers did not mistake his
I meaning. Mr. Kleberg added that "1 have special
| reference to Senators I,a Collette, Borah and John
• sen.”
j Tlie wish may be logical and legitimate, but who
, is to throw these Senators out of the Republican
i Party, and where does Ilia authority exist that can
; transfer them into nominal Democrats, assuming
| that they are Democrats? The truth is, of course,
| that political parties as such have lost all their
; authority anil all their discipline. They cun read
[nobody out and they can read nobody in.
Tito court of last resort in every political party
jis now the direct primary. Any man who can
carry a Republican primary is a Republican. He
| might believe in free trade, in unconditional niem
i ben-hip in the League of Nations, in State rights
land in every policy that the Democratic Party ever
advocated; yet if he carried ills Re pubic I an prim
ary be would be a Republican. He might go to
| tlie other extreme and believe in the Communistic
I s tate, in tlie dictatorship of the proletariat, in the
abolition cf private property and in the extermina
[ticn of the bourgeoise; yet if he carried his Re
j publican primary he would still be a Republican.
This is the situation in the Republican Party,
and it is likewise tlie situation in the Democratic
Party. Names have ceased to have meaning and
j the former lines of cleavage have been obliterated.
Certainly if Mr. Harding is a Republican, Sena
tor lai Follette is not. Nevertheless Senator La
Fuller to was nomiiu.tt^d pmcUcalJJ' by a col am a
|ti<,n in the Republican primary in Wisconsin and
elected practically by acclamation at the polls. His'
kind of Republicanism, whatever it may be, Is the
Republicanism of Wisconsin. What is true in bis
case is true in a lesser degree in the case of Sena
tor Johnson; and here again Senator Johnson’s Re
publicanism, according to the acid test of tlie primary i
and tlie polls, is tlie Republicanism of California.
It is useless to talk of reading Republicans out
of the Republican Party or Dcmcorats out of the
Democratic Party. Mr. llearst, lor eample, is no
more of a Democrat than Mr. La Follette is a Re
publican, If principles are to mean anything; but!
Mr. Heurst bobs up serenly from time to time at1
u Democratic candidate. Henry Ford, so far as
the record shows, has no fixed political principles
Cl any kind. In 1918 he ran for Senator ir. both
the Republican and Democratic primaries in Mich
igan. and it looks ns if he were preparing to run
for President in both the Republican and Demo
cratic primarise in I9LM. Who can stop him from
culling himself anything he wishes to call himself
cr from using the machinery of whichever party !
it is most convenient for him to use?
Party responsibility has broken down in the j
I'nited States, and with it has disappeared the only
agency by which government has ever been made
responsible; but has the National Republican Club!
an> remedy that could cure this disease of progressive^
political disintegration? It Is useless to try to re-1
establish regularity as the tost for a considerable
percentage of both Republicans and Democrats main-!
tain themselves in office by their defiance of regu
larity. 3 ]
Seme day there may be a political issue so clearly!
defined and to sharply drawn that there will be a new
political alignment of the American people. If that
comes, the words Republican and Democratic may
again have significance. Until it comes it is no more
possible for the New York Republicans to throw Ig»
rollelte out of their party than it was for the Wilson
Democrats to throw Jim Reed out of their party.
A Newark citizen lost his reason because of radio.
Perhaps he tried to master the pronunciation of the

normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to;
filter the blood. In i!4 hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid!
and waste, so we can readily under-j
1 land the vital importance of keep
ing the kidneys active.
Drink lois of good water—you
can’t drink too much; ulso get from
any pharmacist about four ounces
of Jad Salts. Take a taiblespoonful
in a glass of water before break-;
fact each morning for a few daysj
and your kidneys may then act tine.
This famous .-alts is made from the
arid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with litbia. and lias been
used for years to help clean and,
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to(
neutralize the acids in the system!
s) t hey are no longer a source of j
irritation, thus often relieving blad-j
der weakness.
dad Salts is inexpensive; cannot'
