GOVERNOR BONE'S VETO.
Governor Bene exercised his veto power for the
first lime Monday when lu returned to the Legisla
ture- without his approval the Senate re, dulion di
tectlng the* Attorney-General to test the validity of
the President’s proclamations establishing fisheries
reset ves for the.purpose of giving tile Department of
Commerce jurisdiction to make regulations for the
conservation of the salmon supply in Alaska, The
Empire believe.-- the Governor exercised his powers
wisely, and lie gave convincing reasons therefor In
the me- age accompanying the returned resonitlon.
Governor Hone accepts a1 its, face value the state
ment of the Secretary of Commerce Dial the flnherlua
reserves were created to meet an emergency and
pending legislation thut would tend to conserve the
salmon supply. He adds:
Any thought advanced or entertained in
heat that tile two reserves were iniquitously
conceived and cheated to despoil the people
of their rights and hand tiie Alaska fisheries
over to sordid interests Is unworthy of sober
consideration. Who: Iter undet existing
regulations conservation is being or will be
attained is problematical and at this time
open to reasonable doubt, but these regula
tions, fortunately, are flexible and the De
partment of Commerce has given evidence
that it will not he tardy in Correcting any
injustices that may arise under the system.
Of course, the Governor i right. As far as the
Territorial Legislature is concerned, the proper soiu
tion is the presentation to Congress for approval ol
a reasonable thill that would he agreed upon by thosi
of all Alaska elements us a fair compromise plan bu
cno that would contain a provision giving the Alaskt
Legislature jurisdcltlon in the premises.
“THE AMERICAN” LANGUAGE.
The American Legion is pressing a proposition to
have Americans call it the “American" language
rather than the "English” language. A resolution
was Introduced in the 67th Congress by Representa
tive McCormick of Montana with that purposo in
view, und it will come up again in the H8th. The
resolution provided that the national and official
language of the government and people of the United
‘date shull be defined and known as the American
language. The bill provides that in all acts of Con
gress regulations of departments, wherein the speak
ing, reuding, writing, or knowledge of the English
language is a requirement for the purposes fo natur
alization Immigratoin, official, legal or like use, tlx
werd American, shall be in all cases substituted
for the word "English."
This lr not the first time we have beard a good
deal said about an "American' language, though it la
pit'btbiy the most serious effort that has been made
to ft .-it re Icr it legal recognition. Mark Twain in
rirtfd that we have an "American" language that Is
much different than the language ot England, and
he contended that we sltouiu peak of it as such.
Of course, many words are used In a different sense
In the United States than they are In England, and
a great many additions have ben made to the lan
guage as we u:e it through the general adoption
of slung.
However, no matter wliat Congress does it is
likely that we shall speak “English'' for a few gen
ii at lens longer.
The Rotary Club of New York recently presentel
eii American flag lo the Rotary Club of Prince Ruperi
as a token of the friendly relations existing between
Americans and Canadians. The Prince Rupert organi
sation voted to accept the (tag and will probably re
turn the compliment by sending the Union Jack to
New York Itotarians.
ALASKA FI R REACHING HIGH POINT.
The Department of Agriculture has issued a bul
letin in which attention is called to the circumstance
that the Alaska fur buriness is becoming more im
portant. The exports of fur last year were larger
than for ycarr.
The bulletin might have also called attention
to the fact that one cf the largest factors in the
Alufka fm burttic s did not shew in the figures reg
istering fur exports, and that is the fur farming
industry. It did net show for the reason that most
cf tlte product of the farms was sold (o those who
are establishing new farms in Alaska for breeding
purposes.
The Agricultural Department bulletin says:
Thai the land fur bearers of Alaska re
muln sue of the most important natural re
rouro"P of the Territory and a valuable
nr set lo its citizen-- is shown by recent ship
ments of pelts of land fur bearing animals.
The largest number of these pelts and the
most valuable ever shipped out of Alaska
in a Fimilur period were exported in the year
ended November 30, 1922. The total num
ber of pelts was 395,247, and the value
. aaiountad to $1.goo,non, according to figures
compiled by the Bureau of Biological Sur
voy of the United States Department of
Agriculture, which has charge of the pro
lection of laiul fur bearers in the Territory.
More than half a million dollars' worth of
beaver and marten skins alone were exported
and nearly $400,000 worth <rf muskrat skins.
Among other valuable pelts shipped were
white, blue, and red foxes, valued at $772.
400, including blue and white foxes from
Pribilof Islands, under the Jurisdiction of the
Bureau of Fisheries; mink. $223,800; and
.skins of black bears, $10,000.

Too .Much Party Expediency.
(Portland Oregonian.)
When Senator Watson, on behalf of a group of
i Senators headed by Senator l.odge. protests to Secre
I t.ory Hughes against the world court proposal, he ad
jin ittedly does not consider the merits of the policy
| involved, nor does he profess to voice the opinion of
the Republican Parly; he is only anxious to preserve
j the outward appearance of unity in the party or
j sanitation.
in so doing he would set at naught the convic
i lions of the great majority of Republicans in order
i to conciliate a group of Senators which on many co
! ension break's that unity by voting against the party.
• He should know that, a strong tide of opinion is ris
! ing and finding vocal expression among Republicans
jetjually with Democrats, which demands from the Ad
| ministration some affirmative action for formation of
I that association of nations that was promised in 1920,
j which demands that the American nation assume its
I share of responsibility for the affairs cf the world
II men and women who think thus cannot make their
with effective through the Republican Party, they may
I seek some other medium.
A radical fault of Mr. Watspn and his associates
j is that, in their anxiety to keep the party organisa
tion intact, they forget its purpose, which is to ob
tain organized expression of the party’s will, to win
the power to give that will effect and then to put it
iin effect. There iF danger that indifference to tin
will of the majority in an effort to hold the minority
[ may cause less of Hie majority.
Something like that happened in 1912, when tlie
i organization lost so much of the party that It re
| mained little but an empty shell. The body of t lie
Republican party is behind Mr. Harding in his world
I court policy and would follow him in a longer step
| toward international co-operation. If a minority
j should dissent, there is better prospect of tilling the
j gap in Hie ranks Hiat it would leave than there would
I be of holding a majority al ter tts principles had been
sacrificed to the integrity of the organization.
(■eulogical Work in Yukon.
(Dawson News. I
There is u constant demand at offices of the rnin
I ins recorders and other Yukon officials for maps and
authentic data on the topography and geology of the
! Territory.
Men who devote their time and money, to prospect
want all tlte information possible regarding the var
ious areas into which they venture. They cannot bv
I too well equipped in this respect. The maps and
'other data prepared by the IHiminion geological corj -
jl.ave proved a great aid. The demand for such mater
ial proves the popularity of the same among pros
j pec-tors.
The Dominion geological department has sent a
I corps of geologists into the Territory every summer
1 tor years. No word has been received in Dawson as
| to the plans for this year, but it. is likely, judging
! by t he practices or past years, that a geological party
will be assigned to this Terrlory again this year.
If such a party comes to Yukon this year, the
1 logical area for it to cover will be that in which
i prospectors are devoting their chief attention. The
! geologist is maintained by the Government essentially
i for paving the way for the prospector and the
, miner. /
I The place for the prospector and the geologist to
| devote tiieir immediate attention is the place where
! :tie tirst returns are apparently most likely to tic
I obtained. Indifferent localities or those less promis
ing of yielding mineral returns should be tlie last to
; receive attenion. The essential thing now from both
the standpoint of the Government and of the pros
pector is to get something back Tor the efforts ex
: pended.
I The most promising uiw area in Yukon just now
i is in the Mayo district. Keno Hill has been examined
geologically and mapped by members of the Dominion
Corps. Some of the adjacent hills also have received
'similar attention. Other highly promising hills in
[that locality have been prospected the last year or
two. Pilose bills have been found to carry wide veins
| of silver-lead ores ami some gold-bearing ore. The
mineral belt has been proved to extend across many
i miles from Duncan Creek to the Beaver and from
Galena Creek, across Galena Hill, Keno Hill and
northward, to Mount Cameron, embraced in this area
are stuch well known Hills as Sourdough Hill, Pro
hibition Hill, Caribou Hill, Staml-To Hill, Mount
Humbler and others. Prospectors will be busy through
out that area this summer, and will be supported
largely by the people of Yukon who put up then
hard-earned cash to assist in finding the mineral ol
the country. The logical thing this year will bs
fir the geological party to continue operations in that
area and thus help to hasten the development cf t.hc
area to which Yukon looks for its most promising im
mediate development.

No man or women can make a
