NO INJUSTIC E DONE.
Last week The Empire said, in discussing the as
eeraition of Delegate Sutherland that the Department
of Commerce misrepresented the true situaition when
it declared that the fish reserves were created for tlie
solo purpose of conserving the fish supply and his
declaration that the reserves were created for the
purpose of giving the "Big Companies” a monopoly,
that it did not believe that Mr. Hoover was corrupt
or a liar, it urged that the way to proceed was to
accept his flatement and to go about to g«t legisla
tion It said, further:
In the moantime if any of the regula
tions for the management of the fisheries
reserves are unfair or unjust, why not pres
ent the facts to Mr. Hoover? There is
nothing in Mr, 1 (covet Y record to cause one
to fear that lie would not listen, or that lie
would not understand, or that he would not .
act to prevent injustice.
A few days afterward Mr. Staser introduced a
memorial in the Legislature suggesting, in effect, that
Mr. Sutherland present to Mr. Hoover the alleged in
ftanees of injustice to the '‘small packers” in tlie
lemulations that had been adopted.
In tlie meantime, representatives of small pack
err went to Washington and put their case up to
those who made the regulations Wo have t'he answer
of the Department of Commerce to their complaints.
The Associated Press dispatches say:
Any injustice done email packers in the
lrauanco of permits for cannery operations in
the Southwestern Alaska fisheries reserve
„ have been corrected by the Bureau of Flsh
1 eWfts, according ito 1. M. Foster, head of the
Alitak Packing Company. Mr. Foster, witii
Otto Hofstad, of t'he Katnuij Packing Com
pany, went to Washington several weeks ago
.in behalf cf the small cannery owners to
protest against the regulations and permits
under the Kodtak-Afognak zones of the re
serve.
» • * »
The Final I packers feci that any injustice
which may have been done 'them when li
censee were firet issued have now been cor
rected. In any effort to conserve fishing re
sources of Alaska it is inevitable that some
body should be hurt.
GOOD MEN FOR SCHOOL HOARD.
Those citizens who induced Mr. Summers and
Mr. Merritt to file for election as members of the
School Board have done well by their city and its
schools. Both are capable and earnest men of the
'highest integrity, and both will make excellent mem
bers oX the Board. Both have had experience as
teachers and instructors in the public schools and
Mr. Merritt was for two years a college professor.
■None need fear that the high standard so long
maintained in the ichoels will be lowered with them
on tha Bourd with drover Winn.
THE RETIREMENT OF WILLIAM W. CASEY.
William W. Caeey will rot ire from the School
Hoard with Hie chd of his present term after nine
years of continuous 1 rvice and with an aggregate
service to hie credit of a ecore of years. All things
considered no man in Juneau lias given more capable,
mere conscientious or more fruitful service to the
'public schools of this city, and none has given nearly
as much time to them. Since lie first became a
member of the School Baird he has seen the Juneau
public school develop from a handful of pupils and
a few teachers with little or no equipment to the
tine institution it is today, and lie lias contributed
immensely to the development and growth. He has
teen claes after class graduated from the High School
;nd t-corcr or the graduates go off to institutions of
high learning, graduated there with ercilit, to them
etives and their early training, and take their places
in the affairs of life a? upstanding men and women.
In all that, li>o, lie has done his part well.
This good and able citizen, four-square to all the
winds that blew, can take with him into retirement
the art urame that lie has the full confidence, good I
will and gratitude of the thinking people pf the
community and of hundreds of pupils and former!
pupils of the Juneau Public Schools, most of whom
regret Ilia decision to retire.
a If Ala.-ka ir not divided i ongrees should advance
tile election d ti in the Territory from early Novem-I
her until early October ns prayed for in the Haelson !
memorial. However, that would require action by
Ccagrees atid the contingency should not operate to
prevent the •l-ogirlaturo from changing the date of
the Alaska primary deletion until August.
FRENCH GIRLS FAVOR AMERICANS.
Some enterprising Frenchmen recently put out
20,000 questionnaires among unmarried girls in
France a.king them to say if they did not marry
Frenchmen what Nationality would they prefer for
husbands. Of the number more than 14,000 declared
fo| 49ferio*n i|$>vtoaiid?. There were about I.80U (
anrwers in favor of Englishmen. The champions of ]
thUBagUaii jsera cioasiy. taUawed hi those who liked i
I the Irish -best. nelgitim, Italy, Switzerland, Soot-1
land and Spain and other countries were represented, I
but if any of the French maidens liked the Germans
the returns were confiscated.
Tlie large preponderance of the liking for Ameri-1
cans is considered as a testimonial for the record
made by the American soldiers in France.
NOTHING GIVEN AWAY THROUGH
DEVELOPMENT.
The development of Alaska by Outside capital
docs not mean giving Alaska away. It means the
multiplication of opportunities for the people who live
and struggle for improvement and prosperity here,
their children and those who may come here and their
children. It means the development of citizens who
may become investors and developers themselves. It
means Just what is meant to the other prfoneer sections
of the country which have developed through the
Investment of o it-ide capital Into populous and rich
States. Nothin is given away if it is developed.
It is through iion-dovelcpmen't that opportunities are
wasted and lives that otherwise would have been
fruitful in accomplishment are frittered away.
Voters should not forget to vote for members of
the School Board at the election next Tuesday. Too
often voters mark their ballots for Mayor and Coun
cllmen and then forgot to vote for anyone on the
school ticket. Tlie School Board is an important part
of the local government.
Register before 5 o’clock tomorrow if you want
to vote.
(iet Out Your War Hoe.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
The city gardening which Americans practiced
during the World War the people of Vienna have
adopted as a permanent municipal policy. As a joint
result they have beautified their city and have pro
vided a highly desirable food supply that was vastly
important during the period of stress for the main
tenance of life and health.
This cultivation of land inside the city limits was
begun about ten years ago, the instlgaotrs of the plan
being factory workmen who leased small plots upon
I which they raised vegetables. Their main object,
however, was to give themselves and their families a
change from the routine and to enjoy working in
the open air.
j It is interesting to note that in 1922 these little
i gardens contributed to t lie food supply t!,600 cars of
potatoes, 1,08b tons of fruit and 240 tons of berries
besides enormoti; quantities of green Vegetables of till
| kinds. There were also reared chickens, goats and
I rabbits, which added greatly to the store of flesh
I rations and was a notable factor in this respect.
In this healthful and profitable oecuptaion last
! year, 80,000 families, representing 370,000 people,
took part, cultivating an area of 24,000,000 square
meters. The census of domestic animals and fowls
showed that they owned a quarter of u million
chickens, 270,000 rabbits and 4,000 goats. Virtually
all of the unsightly vacant lots have been trans
formed into neat garden patches with the general
result of making that handsome municipality all the
more attractive to the visitor. The United States
Hepartmrnt of Commerce, in reporting these facts,
makes the suggestion that the practice should be
revived in his country.
Many thousands who during the war became city
farmers today recall with satisfaction the pleasure
and the benefits derived from their little holdings,
not the least of which was the price of production
and the rare comfort of enjoying the fruits of one’s
own boil. As « health measuro nothing yields a
greater return upon the Investment of mild exercise
in the open. Many were benefittod in this direc
tion. It is with delight that the many pretty gar
dens of that exciting period are recalled. There is
(hen, every reason for the revival of the oity garden
and Lhe time is at hand when the preparations should
be made for planting them.
An Old-School Senator.
(New York Post.)
"Just a plain, blamed fool Mississippi Democrat,”
John Sharp Williams made his exit from Congress
yesterday with somewhat 'less applause than his old
crony Joe Cannon, for the Senate is less demonstra
tive than the House. But his retirement, which he
announced long ago 'by saying that he would rather
bay the moon than run again, removes a figure hardly
less picturesque and not a whit less able, in the
list of eminent Mouse minority leaders of recent
decades—Reed, Crisp, Champ Clark. Joe Bailey.
James It. Mann, and others—Williams had established
his position as onn of the most effective before he
went into the Senate. He entered the upper house in
lbll just in time to become one of the pillars of the
Wilson Administration there. His remarkable knowl
edge of foreign affuirs, the consistency of his position
as a thick-and-thin supporter of President Wilson,
his intense hostility to all forms of demagogy, and
his liberal-minded opposition to petty partisanship
would have distinguished him even had his gifts as
a debater been slight. But his pungency of utter
ance always made him quotable. He was most
pungent when he was pimply outspoken on subjects
others avoided. "1 see the bonus bill staring me in
tno rye," he remarked last spring, “ and I see a
lot of political cowards who are going to vote for it
to be reelected."
The moot erudite man In the Senate, said a na
tional women’s organization in a recent characteri
zation Of williams, and with all due respect for
Senator Lodge the statement was true. He had
studied in Germany as well as that cradle of
Southern culture itho University of Virginia. Hi:-,
volume of lectures on Jefferson delivered at Colum
bia t nivensity, is one evidence of his constant inter
est In political philosophy. In this taste for learning
ami abstract political 'thinking, as in other ways he
expressed a tradition of that "old Bourbon Democ
racy with which he liked to claim identification A
man of 'distinguished Revolutionary and Confederate
ancestry, a planter as well as a lawyer, he would not
havo been a true Southerner hud he not spent much
time in his study. His tales and talents were those
of the old South, of Randolph and H'ayno, Troup
ami Yancey. It is regrettable that age made his
retirement necessary.
It cheers us to road that the Volstead law is per
fectly enforced in Ohio, because such statements
afford a withering contradiction of the oft-repeated
declaration that even the spirit of true fiction is
dead. — (Houteon Post.)
Nearly 100,000 employees have been separated
from the Government pay roll during the past two
years. Imt It doeB not appear that Uncle Sam is
short of help in consequence.—(Boston Transcript.)
All of the Soviet leaders are sick, but otherwise
the Rueelnn outlook remains very dark.— (Baltimore
Sun.)
Prohibitionists claim that Kurope will bo dry

tackle New Jersey.—(Nashville Tennesseean.)
