PRESERVATION OF THE SALMON
The Daily Times is pleased to note
the early response of the citizens of
Cordova to its call for action in re
gard to the preservation of the fish
ing industry of Cordova and vicinity,
as published in its editorial columns.
Meetings such as that held last
night followed up by publicity suffi
cient to bring the deplorable con
dition confronting the fishing indus
try as a result of over-fishing will
undoubtedly result in action on the
part of the government in the way of
regulations restricting the taking of
salmon at or near the spawning
ground or in such quantities as to
deplete the future production of the
streams. It is to be deplored, how
ever, that the means of enforcing the
fisheries laws is entirely within the
hands of bureaucratic Washington.
Resolutions and laws without ade
quate measures for their enforcement
become a joke. It is human nature
for the fishermen and cannerymen to
get all the fish they can whenever
they can. One or two gentlemanly
agents of the fisheries department
whose activities are supposed to cov
er some hundreds of miles of coast
line and some dozens of canneries em
ploying thousands of fishermen are
utterly inadequate to enforce any laws
or regulations. These things should
be impressed upon the government.
It is to be hoped that the plan re
commended by the Alaska Advisory
Committee whereby the management
of the natural resources of Alaska,
will be placed in the hands of a ter
ritorial board residing in Alaska, will
be followed out. Supervision of Alas
ka fisheries by Washington bureau
clerks sounds about as reasonable as
the appointment of a hod carrier to
construct a great railway system
100 PER -CENT PURE KNOWLEDGE
If only we had known.
That is the text that goes with all
human failure. If only we had known.
Practically all failure is the result
of a limitation of knowledge. Had the
individual known just a little bit more
he would have turned failure into
success. It is always the one little
thing that a man happens not to
know which overbalances the things
he does know, and turns all effort in
to futility. As with the one lost
sheep that was found, and was of
more importance than the ninety and
nine, so it is with the one little thing
that we do npt know.
Take black stem rust in the wheat
field, for instance. Here would be a
farmer who knew how to select his
seed and how to sow it and how to
care for it and how to harvest it and
how to sell it. He knew everything
about wheat perhaps except one little
fool thing that rendered all his efforts
futile. Knowing not this one thing
ie would sow but he would not reap,
lis family would be hungry and rag
:ed and the mortgage would devour
he farm. It was all so pathetic, that
ie should not have known the one
core thing that would make his labor,
tnd all the rest of his knowledge,
jroductive. The one thing that he
!id not know was that the black stem
ust required, for its own individual
success, the presence of the common
jarberry. Without barberry as an al
ernate host the black stem rust could
lot live through to destroy the wheat.
Bow many years of effort went to
laught under the scourge before that
me little element of knowledge be
came human property and the wheat
?roweis of the nation were protected
tom the scourge.
VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR NA
TIVES AND WHITES
Inadequate provision is made for
he education of the natives and for
nany of the white young men and
women of the North. The public
school systems, as far as they go, are
ixcellent, but their scope or extent
s far from great enough. In South
eastern Alaska, and especially in the
country adjacent to Ketchikan, are
lundreds of native boys and many
whites too who are given elimentary
school education, and there they stop,
she students to do the best they can
tor themselves along any line that
:hey may happen to drift into.
This number is sufficiently great
:o demand that the government or the
:erritory do something for them in the
way, of vocational education. Ketchi
kan boasts the greatest fishing fleet
m the Pacific Coast, with almost
ivery boat having a gas or oil engine
Df some kind for power. Boys,
through practical experience learn to
~un and operate them, but they should
be given the opportunity in school to
naster all the technical points of such
implements. It is certainly of the
greatest importance that these boys
who oftentimes are in charge of ves
sels with many lives in their hands
it sea should know thoroughly their
sngines.
The engine is hut an illustration,
rhey should be taught the technical
side of the paper making industry,
mining, explosives, fish culture, fores
try, a multitude of subjects. They
should be given the same opportunity
that is presented to the boy in the
states, ..and the federal government
should make provision for the educa
tion.
These also are matters that might
well be taken up with John B. Payne,
secretary of the Interior, for his de
partment would have much to do with
the establishment of such an institu
tion of learning. The Interior has a
splendid school of Mines and Agri
cuture but which lies idle because of
lack of funds, but if it were open to
day, it would not be practicable to
send boys and girls from Ketchikan
there. The expense would be too
great. It would be more economical to
send them to Seattle or some other
outside point.
Ketchikan wants a high institution
of learning for natrves and for whites,
and it will never get it until the move
ment for it is started right. The time
to start it is now'.—Ketchikan Chron
icle.
PARAGRAPHERS’ WIT
Here are three pretty average par
agraphs from the daily grind of a
New York daily.
“Just like the bloated bourgeois to
bid up the price of overalls on the
oppressed union wmrkers, struggling
to buy an extra Victrola for the kit
chen.”
“Strike one—the steel workers;
strike two!—the miners; strike three
—the railroad men. Yer out!”
“See our politicians rush to get
into overalls. They are hard pressed
for a new' camouflage.”
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good. If the Democrats are defeated
this fall it will rid the country of
Burleson and his unpopular methods.
The man is a frightful handicap to
any party.—Valdez Miner.
rlhe grand jury that has just ad
journed in Juneau says that moon
shine is terrible stuff. Why not buy
bonded goods?—Douglas News.
^ —*—'
liied with the love of excitement
and probably not realizing the se
riousness of their crimes, a group of
small boys in Juneau have started on
a career of crime which it is the pui
pose of Chief of Police Keegan to
stop with a jerk.—Juneau Capital.
The New York Times reminds us
that the League of Nations is already
functioning. Yes, that accounts for
the absence of wars and rumors of
wars, and the establishment of jus
tice among nations, as at present on
view on the other side of the Atlantic.
WHY “VOTES FOR WOMEN IN 1920”?
——rnmrnmmm0*0* —■ —..——*
Congress, not long ago, was quite
seriously discussing the apparent need
of the nation for a regent during the
period of Mr. Wilson’s disablement.
Congress isn’t making conversation
on this subject nowadays. Anything
farther is likely to take the form of
apologies to the first lady of the land.
Anyway, revised reports from
Washington concerning John Barton
Payne’s new honors have it that the
former head of the shipping board
was invited one pleasant afternoon to
call at thfe White House. Mrs. Wil
son received him, poured his tea,
asked him how many lumps and in
cidentally remarked that the presi
dent wished to appoint him secre
tary of the interior. Judge Payne
succeeded in stirring the fragrant
orange pekoe without spilling a drop,
and in accepting the position before
the sugar melted.
A few days later, say the revised
reports, Admiral Benson received a similar invitation. With his cup of tea
he received from Mrs. Wilson the president’s offer of the chairmanship of the
shipping board. He skillfully sipped and patriotically accepted.
The French, whose national motto is “eherchez la femme ’ have been a la
hep, so to speak, for some time—ever since ambassador Jusserand reported to
Paris that he had been unable to see President Wilson, but had achieved a
most enjoyable chat over the teacups with Mrs. Wilson on the subject of the
American reservations to the treaty.
Why all this fuss over the slogan, “Votes for women in 1920’ ?
BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO AMERICA
It is definitely stated that the
earl of Reading has declined the am
bassadorship to Washington and that
Sir Auckland Geddes has been select
ed for the place. Sir Auckland, who
was minister for national service and
reconstruction during the latter part
of the war, also filled at the same?
time the office of minister at the head
of the local government board of Lon
don, which was oue of the most impor
tant departments of the administra
tion. As minister of the national
service department he dealt with the
whole man power of the United King
dom, and to him was given the task
of supplying the requisite men to ev
ery government department. ,
Sir Auckland, who has an Amer
ican wife, a Miss Ross of Staten Is
iand, was a professor of anatomy at
McGill university, Torontow At |the
outbreak of the war he enlisted as a
private, and was severely wounded

m Flanders. He later was put in charge of British grave registration in
France, and discharged his duties so ably lie was given one higher position af
ter another. He is held in very high esteem by Premier Lloyd George, and
by King Edward.
Sir Auckland seems to have critics in England. The London Times says:
“We can sympathize with Premier Lloyd George’s manifest desire to get rid
of Sir Auckland and jettison so compromising a Jonah from the ministerial
tramp steamer, but we do not agree that Washington is the suitable whale for
his reception.”
CHIC HAT AND DAINTY VEH.
Ons of the best models that has
come from Paris for spring and sum
mer wear and its simple elegance
makes a wonderful frame for any face.
It is of old rose crepe de chine em
broidered with old rose silk and is
draped with a prettily figured veil.
VEIL CHANGES FOR MILADY
Face Covering Lends Note of Person
ality and Distinction—Adds Com
pleteness to Outfit.
When an attractively groomed wom
an adjusts her smart-looking little hat
at a certain angle and fastens over it
one of the clever new spring veils the
effect is ravishing.
Personality and the final note of dis
tinction may he expressed in the mere
cobwebby substance of the veil. It
adds a completeness to the simple
tailieur and street dress.
After a strenuous day of shopping
the woman whose small street hat is
snugly veiled returns home as neat and
trim looking as when she left.
It is generally understood that the
street veil is not appropriate in the
evening. More and more, however, the
American woman is appearing at the
restaurant and theater in her severely
tailored suit or gown, with her close
fitting toque nicely veiled. And she
harbors no qualms as to being cor
rectly dressed.
In fact, the latest fashions are show
ing the more elaborate hats with veils.
For instance a charming wrought cre
ation of black tulle and silver lace ap
peared in a box at the theater.
The fair spectator watched the play
from behind a thin tulle veil, which
was extended from the crown of the
hat, just beneath the nose—much as
the oriental lady is veiled. And, by the
wav. there is a decidedlv oriental
touch to the hats shown this season.
Hardly a tulle hat is shown without
fhe drop of tulle at least over the eyes.
Many of the new veils are edged
prettily and hang loose and full. Some
are close fitting over the face and long
and flowing down the back. In fact
there is a style of veil for every face;
heavy figures, French dotted and ex
quisitely fine meshed veils are equally
ittractlve in the new’ spring collection.

The ‘Toughest Rubber
That Was Ever Made
Mncf fttPfJ around fisheries really “live in their
111 USl rflvrl boots.” Footwear is your most impor
tant item, and you should buy carefully. Don’t get a cheap
brand or one that you are not sure of. Goodrich “Hi-Press”
is your safest buy. When you buy Goodrich you get the
benefit of fifty years’ rubber experience—we know how to
make the rubber tougher—the boots will wear far longer
and keep your feet dry and comfortable. Don’t accept imita'
tions—look for the Red Line ’Roui^d the Top. 60,000 dealers.
