It is not surprising that the mem
bers of the Congressional delegation
should return to the States after
their hurried tour through a por
tion of Alaska and find themselves
unable to answer the question,
“What is the matter with the Ter
ritory?’’ Alaskans themselves can
not answer the question even after
a residence of many years in the
Territory. But it is pleasing to
find a growing sentiment among the
lawmakers in favor of more cen
tralized federal control. That, in the
opinion of The News, is the solu
tion of at least one important Al
askan problems. A federal board of
control, composed at least partly
of Alaskans and permanently locat
ed in Alaska would go a long way
toward removing many of the an
noyances of living and doing busi
ness in Alaska. It is to be hoped
that President Harding will oe simil
arly impressed when he visits Alaska
next month. Perhaps his influence
and the influence of those Con
gressmen who were so recently in
Alaska, will be sufficient 'to over
come the opposition of cabinet of
ficers and bureau supernumeraries
who thus far have been able to pre
vent any refoim in the handling of
Alaskan affairs. Solve the Alaskan
problems in the order of their im
portance, and do it, and there will
be nothing the matter with Alaska.
The announcement of Henry Ford
that he does not intend to be a
candidate for the presidency at the
next election will have the effect of
clearing the political atmosphere. He
probably spoke the truth when he
said he was too much occupied with
his own affairs to run for office and
he is sensible enough to realize that
his phenominal success as a builder
of cheap automobiles does not nec
essarily fit him to manage the
affairs of a great nation. But it is
a good thing to have such a won
derful business man in the country,
ready to apply his business methods
to governmental management should
me need arise. It has a tendency to
keep presidents and party leaders
hewing to the line with reasonable
accuracy. So long as Mr. Ford can
be influential to that extent, without
holding office, it would be an un
reasonable request to ask him to
put his business affairs to one side
to take up an entirely new work at
Washington, where he would find
his usefulness limited by a fanciful
Congress.
Advocates of a modified form of
prohibition will find small comfort
in the recent action of the New York
legislature in repealing the state
enforcement act. It is the action
merely of a single legislature, albeit
a large one, and it does not follow
necessarily that there will be a
stampede to the wet ranks among o
ther lawmakers of the Union. In fact
it is doubtful even if the voters of
New York, if given the opportunity
would indorse the action of their
own legislature. The prohibition law
has taken firm root in the country.
Prohibition reformers glory in the
1 fact that they were able to put the
Eighteenth amendment over, and
they are as strongly organized today
as when the fight was on. In addi
tion to their own forces, they now
have on their side the powerful pro
hibition organization numbering tbou
sands of well paid workers, all of
whom naturally would vote dry as
long as there remained a chance for
them to continue in office. And,
whether they admit it or not. the re
formers also have the support of the
bootleggers of the country, more
numerous than the combined forces
of the Prohibitionists and enforce
ment officers. So long as these three
powerful influences continue to
work to keep the Volstead act intact
there will be no modification of the
dry law, regardless of an occasional
legislative expression in favor of re
laxation.

GEORGE HUPPRICH TAKES
OVER CHRISTENSEN TRUCK
George Hupprieh, who recently
entered the transfer business in Ne
nana with a Ford truck, has taken
over the transfer business of C. N.
Christensen, a deal for the Christen
sen property, consisting of residence

of hauling from grips to handcars
Mr. Christensen has aked The

port given him during the time he
has been in business here. He has
l net decided what he will do in the
