THE NATION MOURNS HER DEAD.
The Nation mourns tier dead today. A great ,and
good man, the beloved Chief Kxecutive of the grc;\est
Nation t’.iat has risen since the dawn of history,
one who in full measure filled the highest executive
position in the politics of the world, is no more.
Tlte lose is a great National calamity, and there is
no measuring the terrific blow that has befallen
Alsu ka.
President Harding was making an excellent Chief
Kxecutive of the Nation. He had won the hearts of
his countrymen as it lias hern given few of the Presi
dents to win them. He was a typical American, a
democratic citizen of a democratic country. He was
broadly tolerant, kindly, sympathetic, generous, and
clean. He was intensely patriotic, loved his country
and all classes of its citizens. His interests in life
were those of the average American—his family, his
friends, his country, and their welfare.
President Harding probably never gave a truer
glimpse of his character than in his Skagway speech
when he said:
The longer I live and the more I see of
communities and human beings, the more
firmly is my belief established that the
sweetest thing in the world is the friendship
of a few dependable friends, and happiness
which makes a life of contentment.
As with all wise men. President Harding was
one who took crunsel from those in whom he hud
confidence, yet he possessed confidence in his own
conclusions, and was not afraid to act upon them
when arrived at. He was deliberate In all that he
did, unless the occasion demanded quick action, and
then he never hesitated to act quickly on lilt
Judgments.
A prominent Ohio lawyer recently discussing
President Harding said that he had been growing
in breadth and ability from the time he became a
Senator front Ohio, and, he added, he is still grow
ing. The last year gave the American people a
deeper insight, a more accurate appraisal of the man
whom they had chosen by such a large majority to be
their Chief Magistrate, than they had previously.
Jle passed away at a time when ho was entering
the period of his greatest usefulness to his country
and the world.
To no part of the country has the death of the
President dealt a harder blow than to Alaska. His
last work was for this Territory. He had completed
a tour of the North and gained Information and
knowledge and formed conclusions that would have
been of Inestimable benefit to Alaskans. His great
rpeech at Seattle had raised the hopes of the earnest
citizens of the North to a higher point than they
had been for many years, and lie had won the af
fection of all the thousands of Alaskans with whom
he had come in contact. Tho news of his death
|s a stunning blow to this Territory.
The hearts of Alaskans, in common with those
of Americans everywhere, go out to the sweet and
gentle widow who did her part as the First Hady of
tlie Hand and the helpmate of her distinguished
husband so well and so bravely.
The Nation mourns her dead with a grief that
wroaches at the heart.
DIVORCING POLITICS ANI) FISHERES
PROBLEMS.
TIh* indieat ion are that Alaskan fisheries prob
lems wll be driven out of politic* as a result of the
visit or Preridnet Harding. If there is one thing
upon u hieli the Administration Is united It is that
this question has no place in polities and tbar iiillt
attention will be paid to those who use it sitnplj
as n vote gathering utensil.
"Political ora to i y spawns no salmon," was one o
the epigrams used by Secretary Hoover in his de
claration of freedom from timer-serving politicians
I resident Hurtling, discussing the fisheries, de
clared Ilia! "Hi'! appeal of l lie demagogue whose
play on popular prejudice lor pol.ticnl advantage
has no place in the solution of gi. it prob.ems ol
national eomervuHon.”
Governor Gout, in an interview given The Knt
l>lre, discussing the question, said that "Alaskani
may depend upon it that policies will not be per
milted to stand in the way of essential regulations.'
The best of it all is that the peop.c of Alaska seen
to accept as riaht and proper the altitude of Hit
Administration on tuis question.
This means, let ns hope, that the fisheries ques
tion uas been divorced from cheap politics. That i?
Hie first :.ec--sary Hep in the solution. Politician?
have drnc more to muddy the water and preveni
an agreement upon this question than any other one
influence.
JOHN NOON.
In the death of John Noon, Alaska loses one ol
her rleiling and picturesque characters. He wai
truly a product a typical pioneer -of the West
Hough and ready in aspect, courageous, hard headed
and the soul of outspoken honesty, he made friend?
and kept them.
He wad bern at. Red Bluff, California, in the period ol
rbmaBce and adventure, when the placer fields of
that country were still in the midst of the glamour
of the “days of ’49." From that time until the end
of an active career he always on the frontier,
and tried to be where things were beginning. Hur
ling the last quarter of a century he lived and worked
in ail parts of Alaska and in Yukon Territory. Every
; where and to everybody he was always the same,
| genial, generous, energetic, optimistic.
He served two terms in the Territorial Reglela
Iturc, and there he was the same John Noon that the
prospectors, miners and traders found in mining
camp and roadhouse. Honest and fearless he made
an excellent record.
Rugged honesty and robust virility wpre the dis
tinguished characteristics of this pioneer of the West,
and Alaska who will be seen no more but £vhos>e
influence In the North will survive. We have a better
I country because he lived in it.

Henry Ford's declaration that he is not a can
didate for President today but no one knows what
lie might be tomorrow will not serve to lessen the
Ford scare that exists throughout the country.
From its prominence in the negotiations since
Lhe war one would think the scrap was over repara
tions and indemnities.
Canada and Her Pulp Wood.
(Boston News Bureau.)
Canada will not at onoe apply the pulpwood cm
ha iso for which the Dominion Parliament paved the
way by giving the Governor in Council discretionary
power of application. Action will be postponed till
after a commission has made investigation. If Canada
is guided by the highest and broadest motives, the
postponement will he made indefinite, despite all the
entiment for an embargo manifested in many Can
adian circles.
It is true that certain incentives of Immediate
self-interest appear to urge the Canadians toward
such a policy of restriction. They own the wood
lands. These, like our own in thh t>ast, are not
inexhaustible. While they last, there is the chance
for aggrandizement and profit in keeping home such
resources and in building up a great manufacturing
industry. American branch plants have shown the
way. Already the Canadian exixirt of print paper
has risen from a quarter-million to a million tons.
In addition to which are certain provocations toward
selfishness or spite as supplied by our recent tariff
action and by our present attitude toward reciprocity.
Moreover, strategically the Canadians seem to have
the upper hand just now not only througli *tlie nine
points of possession but through the fact that we ap
pear to have no presently available weapons of re
prisal. Our tariff—which has already done about
all it could to harm Canadian wheat and Cuban
sugar—docs not appear to offer any new leverage that
Washington secs or Ottawa fears. There would be no
force just now, nor is there any later prospect, in our
Commerce Commission clapping a car rmbargo on coal
to Canada—.which might only hasten its development
of its own coal measures and its use of substitutes
for anthracite.
Hence the temptation to the Canadians to trans
form their pulp wood monopoly into a wood pulp
monopoly, by capture of the manufacture through
"hogging” the raw material supply. The work and
the wages and the prrfits would then go to Cunadian
labor and capital. American paper mills might have
to shut down or to move north. American paper
consumers would have to pay much more.
Hence our recourse to diplomatic argument, head
ed by the State Department’s efforts to persuade the
I Canadians of the ult imate folly of sucli a program.
[•We have been jointly vaunting the long peace of an
unfortified frontier between us. That same spirit
should counsel also against reprisals that might tempt
toward economic warfare.
Hast winter we consistently displayed—whatever
our tariff thrusts on grain,—a spirit of neighborli
;irss toward Canada in the matter of anthracite that
should not noon bo forgotten. In many quarters In
this state is roused much resentment, on the score
o* self-defense. If things over came to an all-round
retaliation, we probably could score the heavier in
the end, on such things as cotton and financial capital
a» well as coal.
There has been irony in our joint situation—for
example, reciprocity first offered by us and spurned
by them, now ofTcred by them and spurned by us.
As a matter of economic fact, it i3 along such lines
that true progress tends—Just as we have no economic
barriers among our own 48 Commonwealths.
In Europe today one of the many plagues is the
erecting of artificial harriers to the flow of trade
the monopolizing of materials. We should not be
cheaply tempted to emulate them on this continent.
No Sleep Substitute.
(Washington Post.)
Tim latest quest of over imaginative scientists
is a substitute for sleep. They figure that one third
of life is spent in sleep, and that if one could obtain
the restora'ivo effect equivalent to that of slumber
from pill or phial, man's active days 4vould run to
-4 houn per instead of the estimated lfi. Just so;
and if ons could find a substitute for death immor
tality could be attained. The Great Designer counted
.n time for sleep when He measured man's span
iof lif0- and science cat'not heat the game by a sub
stitute. This is one of those scientific quests that
make reactionaries of Abyssinian experimenters whom
Itasselas found searching for dyes that, when spread
over flies Ted to spiders, would result In the spinning
of colored webs by their devourers. Cucumbers still
contain sunshine and rainbows yield pots of gold
but only to the poet.
The Friendly Spirit.
(Cordova Times.)
1 ho friendly spirit is something worth cultivat
tug Such a spirit is a fine compliment to any town,
, w hen people can say of Cordova her people are eourt
i ooiis and sociable.
I Just this week we heard a man say the people
jor Cordova are more sociable than they used to be
that there were less of the clannish and special so
ciety sets than there were a few years ago. You
don t hear much more about the "400 set" in Cor
dova said this same man. Can a higher compliment
be given Cordova.
The big things we want to happen sometimes
ail to happen unless thero is someone pulling and
pushing. Cordova Is now working along the pulling
and pushing lines as never before. Glory be!
