THE ADMINISTRATION POLICY.
A United Press special dispatch from Washingtoi
under date of July 3Utli, says:
By turning l.i liack on the big Interests
which have been conducting a campaign to
open up Ala.-ka for exploitation, observers
believe Provident lilarding lias detoured
around cm> big pitfall which most certainly
would have marked him for an onslaught
by the radicals in the Presidential campaign.
Certain lumber, mining and oil Interests
had high hopes when President liiyding
uid he wav going to Alaska, because he
intimated he beliveed the great resources
there should be made more readily avail
able to American citizens. To these interests
this meant only one thing -that they were
about to be turned loose to develop the
treasures of the vast Territory.
If the p ople cf tlie country accept this doctrln
as tlie meaning of Pi evident Harding's speech at Seat
tie, as the desire of Alaskans and as an accepts
national policy, it would be hitter if the Pro3idcn
had never visited this Territory. President Harding'
comment on the forestry situation should be con
sidtred in tlie light of the whole of his speech am
the representations that were made to him and th
Cabinet officer, which led the expressions as ti
what the people of Alaska desire.
There is not a question of doubt but that thi
people of Alaska do want those with capital "to b'
turned loom to develop the treasures of the vas
Territory." That President Harding intended tha
they eliould be turned loose for that purpose wa
evident when he declared for early Statehood fo
Southeastern Alaska. He knew that would be out o
the quostoin unless it wore accompanied by the earl:
development cf the resources and he knenv tha
capita] would be required fer that purpose.
It is up to the Government to pursue a polio;
consistent with conservation that will turn capital
Jsts “loore to ficvelop the treasures” of Alaska, am
the altitude of Secretary Wallace and Chief Foreste
Gneley Indicated that such was their purpose. Th'
Empire believes that it is their purpose. It-believe
that Celoml Greeley did not idly declare, "We wil
bring pulp and paper manufacturing to Alaska,'
end the declaration received the approval of Secre
tary Wallace. The Empire believes they will do si
and that they will receive the full administratiot
support In doing it.
FISH PIRACY MUST BE PUT DOWN.
The report cornea from Ketchikan that fish pirate
were caught in the act of brailing a trap near tha
place last week and they deliberately bred threi
shots at .those on the cannery tender which caugh
them while engaged in the robbery.
Can any one show how such outlaws as thesi
ere entitled to any more consideration tliun \va:
tliown Je.ise Jamce, “Curly Bill,” Henry Plummei
cr any of the other notorious bank robbers, cattli
thieves and stage robbers of the plains country?
It is not only robbery, but It is willingness tc
kill if necessary to get away with it. Tile Govern
tnent is spending a lot of money to enforce tin
Volstead Act In Alaska, and none ean rightfully com
plain of it. However, how much more Itnportun
It is to protect life anil property from the depreda
lions of tlic.e thieves and gunmen of the waters o
Southeastern Alaska than to prevent people iron
telling liquor to those who want it!
Kith piracy must be put down in Alaska. It i
Just as disgraceful and just as wrong as were eattl
and horse dealing afld stage and train robbing li
the VVcjt in their pioneer days and, apparently, it 1
becoming just us dangerous to human life.
THE TOURIST TRAFFIC.
The tourist traffic in Alaska—particularly South
(at tern Alaska—is u great Industry and It will be
come greater when greater efforts are put forth t<
cater to it and when transportation facilities are 1m
proved. The tom 1st traffic i: grout in Europe and it
parts of America where people cater to it and when
there are adequate transportation facilities.
Transportation Is an essential requirement for i
tourist traffic. Thai fact ts sin wn by the statemen
that 3,000 more tickets to Alaska could have beet
sold if there had been enough steamships to liandb
the passengers. It we had transportation accoin
modal ions to move the people It would not be difficult
to get them. Advertising and enterprising hotel men
aid caterers would do the rest.
It is transportation that has made tourist traffic
for Puget Sound and Florida, Maine and Southern
California, the White Mountains and the Cumberlands,
Banff and Havana.
The touri traffic in Alaska will never reach its
maximum until we develop our pulp tind paper and
other resource so that great steamship lines will got
fieight to carry us well as passengers and long sea
ring for the use of ships instead of short seasons
Banff ir great because four transcontinental train*
run through it dally, and they would not be run if
j it were not that there is truffle for. the railroad
‘ company operating them for most or all of the year.
It will be difficult to get vessels for a tourist run if
the pavsengers have to bear all the cost of operation
during the short season and the overhead for the
entire year.
A tremendous tourist traffic would be one of the
greatest of the by-products if Southastern Alaska were
producing 50,000 to 100,000 tons of paper a month
for export.
However, if the companies that are now operating
stianiMhlps to Alaska would sell stop-over tickets and
tickets that would he Interchangeable on all the
operating lines, like the railroads do, and encotirage
tourists to remain in Alaska longer, the tourist
searen would be lengthened and the benefit to the
Territory and the steamship companies would be
greater. Anything the steamship companies can do
to increase the volume of business in Alaska and
| to add to the population will help them. Any thing
they can do to make the active season in Alaska
longer will help them. Greater business volume In
the North and greater population adds to the volume
of the freight and passenger business between Alaska
and Puget Sound, and the permanent population in
the Territory is what gives them business in the
fall, winter and spring, when they need it.
Governor .1. 0. Walton of Oklahoma, who captured
the Democratic nomination us the avowed champion
of Non-Partisan Doagueism, has renounced that idea
and declared the hope of the Nation lies in the
Democratic Party. He will be a candidate for the
nomination for United States Senator.
Possibly the Federal authorities knew
there wculd be a surplus, but thought it
wise to keep the information from Congress.
(Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.)
Afraid the surplus would not bo permitted to
stick uround If Congress knew?
We gravely arc Informed that our noble,
illustrious and putrltolc visiting statesmen
are returning front Europe "full of views.”
—'(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
That’s fairly close to it. "Views" rhymes with
"booze" at least.
New Liquor Program Proposed.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
A proposal by which the United States Public
'Health Service may be called upon to decide what
constitutes alcoholic liquor is being advocated by
leading Democrats as the liquor plank in tlie Domo
jcratlc platform in the next Presidential campaign.
They point out that an opinion by expert physicians
from the Health Service would be accepted through
, out tli.- country an being llnal and would keep the
question out of reach of Congress.
Advocates of that plan would give to the Indi
vidual states the right to decide upon the alcoholic
1 content of beer and wine to be sold within theii
t borders; that Is, if the Public Health Service decided
- that four per cent, beer should be the strongest that
I could lie brewed without making the drinker Intoxi
> catrd, the so-called wet States probably would enact
, legislation authorizing the manufacture and sale ol
four per cent, beer, while Hie bone-dry States could
, enact a law prohibiting; the manufacture and sale ol
beer containing more than one half of one per cent, ol
alrohol.
Such a plunk, Democratic leaders point out, would
go lar toward solving the liquor question and would
i end agitation to a large extent. They point out that
•! most of tlie unreel against the prohibition law is dut
f|to what is believed by many to be a wrong inter
. pretation cf the eighteenth amendment, which sayt
that the manufacture and sale of “intoxing” li
quors is prohibited. It Is claimed by many •'liberals'
that there is no basis for the provision in the Volstead
Act which prohibits the sale and manufacture ol
■ liquor containing mere than one half of one per cant
[ alcohol.
Senator Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, who it
• one of the Presidential possibilities and a hope of Hit
i "otSi his friends say, is In favor of strict enforcement
I 01 the amendment, but it is believed that he stands
. for liberalization of the Volstead Act.
Senators of both parties, including Senator Couzena
or Michigan, Selden P. Spencer; of Missouri, ant:
' Royal S. Copland, ol’ New York entertain aimllai
i views.
:
The Wayside Inn.
(Washington Post.)
The Wayside Inn in Sudbury town is, as I.ong
iillow iniortns us. as ancient a hostelry as any in th<
land. It was built In the old Colonial day when met
lived in a grander way with umpler hospitality, and ii
has associations with some of the greatest names ir
the history of the country—with Washington, I.afay
cue, and Webster—and, in a later period, with man)
of those who stood out prominently in the New Eng
land literary renaissance. Such a noted landmark de
serves a better fate than to be torn down to make
room for "modern Improvements," or to be allowed tc
moulder and crumble until nothing but a memory oi
it is left. And lo! from an unexpected quartet
comes the announcment that Philistine hands are tc
be kept off tin ancient pile und that with lovinf
care and Icy the aid of competent custodiuns it is tc
be preserved intact as a memorial of a distant pas
for tlie benuflt of the prebent und of future gen
e rations.
It Is for this worthy purpose that it has been pur
caused by Henry Ford—or. at least, so the newspape
dispatches have It. One hopes that the furnishing
and the entire betting will be kept intact. It woulc
be a pity if Princoss Mary's pictured face, or the ole
spinet with its ivory keys, or the sombre clock, 01
the cout-of-arins, or, above all, the jovial lines wrltter
on the window pane by Major Moiinaux were missint
from the collection of antiques.
I he Sudbury caravansary has always had a loca
fame; it gained a national reputation when Long
fellow made it the locus of the delivery of hit
Tales of a Wayside Inn." It would be idle tc
inquire how many of the youth of America have
been tired to patriotism by "Paul Reveres Ride," 01
how many more have been inspired to a sense of th.
performance of duty by the splendid symbolism o
lho Legend Beautiful.” It is eminently fittint
that the building which housed these American lit
<rury pilgrims, even if they were of a far different
order ironi the celebrated ones of Canterbury shoulci
be preserved for posterity.

If It Fits—
Knowledge may bo power, but it
isn’t happiness. It is what they don’t
know that enables a lot of married
i women to keep happy.
An ideal wife Is one who spends
more time taking care of her hus
band's clothes than she does taking
care of his habits.
The difference between a woman’s
and a man’s hat is anywhere from
(lve to fifty dollars.
IJefore marriage he thinks she has
a sympathetic ear, but afterward he
discovers she has a mighty unsym
pathetic tongue.
After giving some of the dresses
the girls are wearing on the streets
tile once over we have come to the
conclusion they at least would look
more securely anchored if the dear
, things would only wear a good leath
er belt, such as the men do.
Women these days balk at hanging
up the clothes, and once they get It
down how they hate to hang up the
receiver. ,
A happy marriage does not depend
upon how long they can dance with
each other, but how long they can
live with each other.
And speaking of nonstops, ever no
tice that once you get a lie started
, there simply is no way of stop
ping it?
i When a wife has to take In board

she was taken in by the dumbbell she
married. ■
