BALDWIN WILL FIX IT
“Somehow or other Premier Baldwin will
fix it.” This seems to indicate the feeling
throughout Great Britain with regard to
the “coal war” which finally came to a head.
The best brains in England failed to find
anything approaching a workable solution, j
The coal industry faced ruin if wages were
not reduced The whole country faces the
disruption of a ruinous strike. Premier
Badwin “saved the country” a year ago by;
sacrificing his economic principles in a sub
sidy. Now all sides are counting on him, I
and all rather blindly.
THE REINDEER MEAT INDUSTRY
It is scarcely more than 35 years ago that
reindeer were first introduced into Alaska.
The question as to whether the first import
er was Capt. Conrad Seim, then represent-J
ing the interests of a trading company, or!
Dr. Jackson, of the bureau of education of
the Department of the Interior, is unset- ;
tied. Capt Seim, now a resident of Wash-:
ington, made the claim that he brought the
first reindeer from Siberia into the Terri
tory several years belore the government
undertook the task of stocking the moss!
fields with the animals.
However, no matter who was responsible,!
the fact remains that the introduction of
reindeer into the northermost possession of
the United States has been followed by an
enormous increase. It was believed that
the distribution of the animals among the
natives and the dissemination of informa
tion as to breeding, care and marketing of
the products of the herds would serve to
solve the problem of feeding and caring for
the natives- But the lack of transportation
facilities from the sections of the great re
gion where the animals are most numerous
has made it impossible for the herd owners
to maintain themselves and their families
upon their herds. Nowt it has been decided
to organize several big drives with the ob
ject of transferring the animals to feeding
grounds near the Alaska railroad, so that
instead of being compelled to market his
meat among the natives the educated herd
owner will be afforded the opportunity to
take advantage of the better market condi
tions outside.
It is expected that during the summer
more than 50,000 of the Alaska reindeer will
be driven, in herds of 2,000 each, to better
locations, and that the Eastern markets
next winter will be supplied with reindeer!
meat to a much greater extent than ever;
before. And all of the shipments must be
made thru Seward.
DEMOCRATIC PROPHET
The Democrats need worry no longer
about a presidential candidate in 1928, nor,
indeed, about the election. Henry Morgen
thau, former ambassador to Turkey and
counted among President Wilson’s politi-1
cal strategists, has settled the question for;
them. He announces that the nominee of;
the Democrats in 1923 will be either Frank-!
lin D. Roosevelt, former Assistant Secre-;
tary of the Navy and candidate for Vice
President in 1920, or Owen D. Young, who
shared with Vice President Dawes the cre
dit of evolving the German reparations
plan. §
Mr. Morgan than, returning from a six- J
month tour of the world, makes the state- h
ment that either Roosevelt or Young will
be named as the Democratic standard bear
er, because it will be necessary for the
Democrats to cany New York in order to
win. He adds that Gov. Al. Smith is the
most available and outstanding candidate.
and that the wet agitation has greatly -
strengthened him, but that "‘it is difficult j
to be simultaneously a presidential candi- j
date, State leader and national leader." He 1
suggests also that religious prejudice will i
possibly prevent the New York governor j
from becoming the party’s nominee, but I
that it can not prevent him from becoming -
its leader in thought. Aside from Smith, [j
the former ambassador holds that Young j
and Roosevelt are the outstanding mem- j
bers of the party in the Empire State,
Mr. Morgan than has doubtless uttered a !:
truth in sating that the Democrats can -
not win in 1928 without New York although j
Woodrow Wilson lost the State in 1916 and j
yet won the election. However, the Demo
cratic party is not in the same situation as j
in 1916, and Mr. Morgenthau's observation -
seems to be sound E
Many persons who study politics hold the j
opinion that the only man in the Democra- \
tic party who could certainly carry New ;
York State in a presidential year, or in any ;
other year, for that matter, is Gov. Smith. ^
Therefore, they contend that if, in order to L
win the election, the democrats must pick a
New York man to lead rh^. ticket Al Smith r
will be the one chosen. !

ERRORS IN NEWSPAPERS
Errors, typographical and otherwise, are ;
the bugbears of publishers. The doctor, i:
is said buries his mistakes, the lawyer digs -
them up and finds that they were not mis- j
takes. The business an hides his mistakes
in the red ink section of his books. Ever c
error the newspaper man makes, whether it
be in the composing room or the newsroom. _
is flaunted before t! public for everyone :
see. The newspape r, as a business, has
about as much priv cy as a goldfish. There- -
fore, when you think that your favorite -
newspaper is making too many mistakes. I
stop and think how much more worried is
the editor.
PROTECT THE FARMERS F
One of the measures before Cor cress
which the Grange Is working hard to enact
is the Goodin-Ketcham bill, that aims to* "
shut out worthless and inferior seed from s
importation into the United States. The ”
Grange has collected evidence showing an-!.
nual losses to American farmers totalling ^
million of dollars, especially through the r
mixing of imported seeds of low grade. The
measure in question proposes that foreign
seeds shall be stained, so that ever}' farm- j *
er can tell them at a glance Much interest -
attaches to the Gooding-Ketcham bill and F
Grange support for it follows the strong
declaration of the National Grange, at its
Sacramento session, in favor of stringent r
legislation to protect farmers against their
annual losses from low grade foreign seed.
'There can be no more important educa
tional work than turning the attention of -
the new generation to the importance of
trees. On every hand we will see this im- ‘
portance if we will but look. The thing is. d
to get us to look/'—Mrs. John D. Sherman. !

The recent death of Henry Holt, famed I
New York publisher, at the ace of Six re- L
calls his famous % apothegm concerning
whiskey, uttered on'his SOth birthday: AAry
young man who drinks whiskey is a fool and f
any old man who doesn't is another^ He ;
failed to state just where he drew the line. !
but keeping away from liquor until the age !
of 80 would probably be a fairly good rule. !
In one of the latest issues of the Liberty
Digest we see under the head of Topics in
Brief an article which concerns we Alas
kans; Alaskans reports roses in bloom.
Help! We may be standing at the brink of
another real-estate boom.
