GETTING THE CHILDREN INTERESTED.
The Southeat; era Alaska Fair Association is
Halting out well when it sets about to get the school
children interested in the matter. Nothing el e
v old (It more to make the Annual Fair the suc
cr.ro that wo would all have it be than to have the
children of the public schools become inters ted in
is exhibits and activities. No better method to
rj*»u:.e the Interest or Young America suggests itself
than this competition in cm ay writing and vegetable
grownlng and manual and domestic science compe
tition.
That the Superintendents and teachers in the
public schorls will co-operate In this matter with the
officials of the Fair As elation may he taken for
granted. They have always slmwn an interest in any
thing that serves to arouse initiative and interest of
the pupils; in worth-while activities.
These contests should, and doubtless will, be made
a regular feature of the Annual Fair that it is
prrposed to hold in Juneau each year.
THE ENLARGEMENT OF STAR B.
The discovery announceu to the world by M.
Flamarlon, observing from, clear Greeclan skies, that
the star Beta C'eti -tar li of the Constellation Cetus
—hak been enlarged to fifteen times its former size,
probably the result of oilier stars or sattelitcs falling
into it, has caused something of a sensation through
out the world.
However, when one consider.; that the event,
whatever it was, that caused the enlargement of this
star B. octAurtd eighty years ago in 184'.’,, when
John Tyler war President of the tufted States, when
then Ex-President Andrew Jackson was urging his
followers who called at The Hermitage to annex
Texas and Henry Clay was fixing up his fences for
the Presidential election which occured the following
year—it docs not seem so alarming. The time is
I arrived at by the fact that it would take four score
of years for the rays of light conveying the. fact of
tlic enlurgi meat to reach tiro world.
Yet one wonders what would occur to our own
solar cm if something should fall into our sun
end cause its enlargement and intensify its brilliancy
to the urine extent as that which lias happened to
Bita C'eti. it Is certain, at least, that the little
old earth would become too hot for human kind. \Ve
would very quickly forget our quarrels over the fish
trie..-, literacy for voters, Hie offices,, panties, blocs,
cliques, a.ml other matters.
HOOVERS LIMITING PLAN NOT NEW.
The |>Um adopted by Secretary Hoover of divid
ing fishing arctic In Alaska into zones and limiting
tllo catch and pack in each of them is not new in
Jtn conception. It lias generally been agreed upon
ajnong those who have made a study of the question
as one of the principal tilings that must eventually
be adopted if the fish supply is to be preserved. The
Britt momorial that pas ed the Territorial Senate in
IW-’l propo rd a plan 'that would vest the power
assumed by the Department of Commerce in a com
mission. It went flirtlirr, however, and asked for
legislation that would enable the Territorial Leg
islature lo exerci e Jurisdiction in the premises. The
White Bill, favorably acted up n by the House Com
mittee on Marine and Kisherie- of the ti7th Congress
tfrvo all the power to the Secretary of Commerce
that he has tc.-unied through the creation by the
Proficient of the lisli n erves except insofar as the
Sutherland amendment would limit lisli traps.
Tile creation of the fish reserves was. therefore,
a device through which the Secretary of Commerce
tv s given jurisdiction to make regulations that it is
generally believed that some authority should have
the power to make. Secretary Hoover has said that the
reserves would In- abandom d at any lime legislation
was enacted for the purpose of conserving the lisli
supply. He ha . said, further, that they would h
abandoned anyhow if, after trial, they proved un
workable and unsatisfactory He said that a year's
trial ought to determine thi:, [mint.
One way to induce the inve-tment of capital in
industrial and trade development rather than in tax
exempt securities would he to reduce the taxes on
business and industry.
ALASKA WEEKLY AND ITS EDITORS.
The Alaska Weekly with the veteran Seattle
newspaperman, James A. Wood, a:, editor and the
veteran Alaska lies wp." perm in, L. K Shaw, as news
edltcr lias succeeded the Alaska Dispatch, published
weekly at Seattle for the last several years by K. C.
Russell, formerly of Juneau.
Mr, Wood is one of the best newspapermen In the
Wert, lie knows the game in all its branches thor
oughly, and is a graceful and strong editorial writer.
No man in tile profession i, better liked and more
respected within the profession.
Mr. Shaw, also, is a thorough newspaperman,
ftjld he has lived many years in Alaska in the Seward
I^nirinuTa and Cook Inlet sections and possesses a
Mde__acejuaintante with Alaskans and a- whole lot of I
first-hand Alaska information—particularly concern
ing those sections of Alaska In which he has lived
and worked.
In their announcement the editors declare that
it will be the purpose of the Alaska Weekly:
To labor earnestly, exclusively, and we
hope. Intelligently, for the highest good of
all Alaska.
TO STOP PLAYING WITH DEATH.
Pennsylvania is considering a law to prohibit
trick or acrobatic airplaning. This suggests that a
whole lot of turns are performed to cater to the
curiosity of tin' multitude that should be prohibited
on ocoount of their hazard. iTte death of "Spider'
Voting, tho "human fly,” the other day in New York
when he fell from the tide of the Martinique Hotel
is an illustration of the need for such regulation. Not
only did he lose his life but the shock to those who
witnessed hi. death or thoso who contemplate It
served no beneficial purpose. Playing with death
should ibe stopped.
The man who complains of his coal bills
might get a little comfort by considering
what it costs Prance to get a little coal
out of the Ruhr.— (Detroit Free Press.)
Yes, but a part of the French program is to col
lrct the cost of getting the coal from Germany. The
complaining American pays for the coal—or owot
for it.
Our Treaty with Canada.
(Scat I lo Post-Intelligencer.)
Canada’s recent independently handled fishlnf
treaty with the United States seoms lo have induced
a feeling of uneasiness across the water.
The treaty llxes a closed season for halibut fish
'ng in the North Pacific Ocean. The subject itsell
is of no grave international importance. But the
action was historic. It sets a precedent for the in
dependence of tlie Dominion that premises to he far
reaching.
Tho envoy who represented Canada was sent tc
Washington directly from Ottawa. He had no ere
dentiak from Ixtndon. He did not deal with Sit
Auckland Geddcs, tho British Ambassador at Washing
ton, and negotiated alone with Secretary Hughes.
The treaty was ratified by the United States Sen
ate and Hie Dominion Parliament. It reposes in the
archives of Ottawa not of Ixmdon.
We like to feel that this action is more truly
representative of the Canadian people than the "Buy
British Goods" campaign which a few Canadian
newspapers are now fostering. Tho neighborly rela
tions between the two countries should make that
campaign of small moment. We bought more gootb
from Canada last year than did the United Kingdom
We sold Canada four and one-half times more. Many
of the moEtt important Canadian industries are owned
in the United States. Much of Canada's most enter
prising population lias come from the United States
Economically, relations of the two countries art
.bound to grow stronger instead of weaker. Pol it
icully, it probably is only a question of a short Unit
now befor Ccanada will have a resident minister at
Washington. .
And both countries will profit by the growing
intimacy.
Senator Nelson ior League of Nations.
(New York Post.)
Senator Knute Nelson himself Is a farmer and
for many years was the meat heeded advicer of North
western farmers. lie has lamented the unwilling
attitude of his farmer friends to follow his lead, but
believes that they will return to clearer ideas as
they hvao dene before—-a3, .for examplle, after the
Populist wave of the '30s. In letters to Minnesota
papers and in his recent speech on the floor of the
Senate he has put (lie international problem up to
his farmer friends. He has urged the ship subsidy,
pleading that t lie farmer's price is fixed largely
by ocean freight rates and t'hat a prosperous mer
chant marine means money in the farmers’ pockets.
In a recent Senate speech he also urged that the
United Sttaes help in political stabilization of Europe.
He always favored the League of Nations, though
he supported some of the Lodge reservations.
"If we had 'become a part of thei Longue of
Nations,” tlie Senator said, "we would have stabilized
conditions over there. Political conditions must he
stabilized before economic conditions can be stabil
ized."
Thompson Beaten In Chicago.
(Now York World.)
In the Republican primaries Chicago decisively
turned its hack on .Mayor William Hale Thompson.
The manner of his repudiation leaves him no excuse
for mi; understanding what was Intended. As the end
of his term draws near lie stands not only thoroughly
discredited as Mayor but disowned by the party that
ho debauched into acepting him as its nominal leader.
The experience of t lie last eight years has been
costly to Chicago in money, in reputation and in self
respect. It will be a long; time recovering what ft
lias lost, under its twice-elected Mayor, for he gave
Chicago what was everywhere recognized as the worst
administration any large community in die United
States lias tolerated in years.
Under Thompscon misrule Chicago has been placed
under back-breaking taxation and municipal finances
reduced to a state of critical disorder. The City Hall
lias been the center of a series of noisome, scandals.
\ ice and crime have flourished, if not under political
protection certainly net at the risk of serious official
interference. Chicago's standards of local government
have never been exacting, but under its present
Mayor it iias exceeded its previous records, and not
through any lack of intelligence on his part.
\\ hlchever way the coming election may turn,
" bet her Lucdcr, the Republican candidate. Is elected
Mayor, or Devcr, the Democrat, the citizens of Chi
' ago uinet look with relief to the prospect of a
change from Thompson in the City Hall.
