VISITING CONGRESSMEN AGAIN.
Another bunch of Congressmen is to tour Alaska
to gain first hand knowledge of the Territory to guide
them in their work at Washington. It is well. Let
them come, and let them be followed by other and
larger delegations of the National legislators. It is
true that it is sometimes hard to distinguish large
results from the frequent visits of Senators and
Representatives during the past. Some of those who
have come even learned so many things that
were not true that they were hurtful rather than
helpful. They saw so many trees that they failed
to discern the forest. However, in the main these
visits have been far more beneficial than baneful.
Many of the Government activities in the North
have been made more useful through larger appro
priations that are directly traceable to visits from
National lawmakers and other distinguished official
visitors.,
The movement to give Canada large slices of
Alaska, including Skagway, was blocked largely
through the visit of Senator Fairbanks and others
in 1898. Shortly after that visit came Alaska Senatorial
visits from Senator Mason and Senator Dietrich,
each of whom came alone, and the party consisting
of Senators Dillingham, Nelson, Patterson and Burn
ham and two large parties of Representatives in
Congress, one of them containing Speaker Cannon
and Appropriations Committee Chairman Tawney
and many other members. These visits aided us in
getting a Delegate to Congress. And so it has been.
Senators and Representatives who have visited Al
aska have, generally speaking, gone back to Wash
ington with the will to do well for the people of
the Territory, and they have been easily persuaded
to aid in the passage of legislation that the times
seemed to demand.
All things considered experience suggests that
we ought to encourage visits from Senators and
Representatives and other high officials. Let us give
them all good times, tell them all we can about the
Territory and the need of the hour and trust to
luck and the law of averages.
LIVING PERFORMERS IN THE FLESH
STILL POPULAR.
Municipal Opera, St. Louis's non-profit civic en
deavor to provide light opera for its citizens in its
outdoor Municipal Theatre, is feeling the effect of
the "talkies”—a decidedly favorable effect.
The first three weeks of the 1929 cycle of twelve
open air operettas in Forest Park showed a remark
able increase in attendance over the same period
in any one of the opera's ten previous seasons.
It was in the sale of medium-priced seats, entering
directly into competition with motion picture the
atres, that the large increase was noticed. Municipal
Opera officials have reached the conclusion that
the cinema, by training audiences on moving shadows
and synthetic sound, has created a new audience
which looks for living actors and living sound.
Two railroad accidents in a single day is a
reminder that we still have railroads. The multi
tude of wrecks in other modes of transportation
had almost caused us to forget the old iron trails.
For the third time Nome is to be one of the
termini of an airplane flight from the East to the
Far North. The flight will sturt within a few
days.
“Call Out the Marines.”
(New York World.)
In an article published in the current issue of
j Collier’s Weekly Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Gen
eral Secretary of the Methodist Board of Temper
ance, Prohibition and Public Morals, confesses that
"no one dares to claim that prohibition enforcement
has been satisfactory.” It has been so far from
satisfactory, in fact, “that we must amend the law
| to have adequate pains and penalties as sanctions
| of the law.” Congress is under moral obligation,
j Dr. Wilson thinks, to provide these pains and pen
alties. For “the putting of the fear of God in the
minds of those who fear neither God nor man is
one of the chief functions of good government.” Ac
cordingly, as appropriate measures to provide the
fear of God, Dr. Wilson recommends the following:
1. “A few marines in Baltimore and New
York City would have the same wholesome
effect that soldiers had in those two towns
sixty-five years ago.”
2. “The next change in our Prohibition
Law must make the first offense involve a
prison sentence.”
3. "Another change in the law must
provide that we shall punish the buyer as
well as the seller of bootleg liquor.”
4. "We must not admit any foreigners
who come to violate American law; upon
conviction we must send them back to their
own lands.”
Bayonets, prison sentences, penalties, more pen
alties and deportation; to such a pass have the
friends of prohibition come ten years after the 'en
actment of a law which was to introduce a better
social order. “Call Out the Marines" is the title
of Dr. Wilson's article. It is an appropriate title.
This is the counsel of desperation.
Dictatorship in Venezuela.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
For quite some decades General Juan Vicente
Gomez has been the Dictator of Venezuela. During
his reign there has been in progress of a sort. Com
merce has been permitted to develop, and the for
eign trade of Venezuela has come to be quite pros
perous. But the rights of citizens, whatever that
phrase means in this modern age, have been com
pletely lost. As in most countries, in the same stage
of development, there are but two factors about
which to organize the effective power of the State,
namely the land owners and the clergy. Working
through these two elements of the Nation, Gomez
has built up a “party machine” of some 10,000 troops
under arms, most of which put in their free hours
on Gomez’s haciendas, cultivating bananas or coffee.
With the approach of the elections, which take
place every seven years, in form at least, the coun
try has been turned upside down military revolts
and general disorders. So it comes as something
of a surprise that President Gomez has turned the
reins of government over to the Supreme Court, in
accordance with the provision of tlie constitution.
The latter body has chosen one of their number
to act as Provisional President until a permanent
President can be chosen.
Perhaps Venezuela will have an orderly election
for once in its history. But Gomez must not be
forgotten. After many years of absolute power he
is not likely to yield the privileges of a modern
Louis XIV. so readily.
What would have happened if a President had
appointed a fact-finding commission in regard to
slavery?—(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)
The movie star who doesn't keep a diary must
have a difficult time remembering earlier marital
companions.—(Indianapolis Star.)
With summer at hand, Congressmen will be hav
ing “official business" in Canada instead of Cuba
—(Dayton, Ohio, News.)
What the Federal Constitution neglected to pro
vide is some way of having the Democratic Party
temporarily in power whenever wheat goes below
a dollar.—(New York Times.)

Domestic Affairs
When they start getting short

"Evidently Rastus is going tc

“Then that means another of mv

When he was a young fellow col
lecting those little cigarette pic
tures a man never dreamed the
time would come when his own
dear, modest wife could make as
much of a leg display as the ladies
on the pictures, and still be con
sidered fit for polite society.
A good many of the summer
skirts are so thin that if they were
people they would be ordered on a
codliver oil diet P. D. Q.
A man thinks he is entertaining
when he is spilling his stock of old |
jjkes, but the only time his wife
finds him entertaining is when he
is letting his money do the talk
ing.
Next to refusing to spank when
occasion demands the surest way to
have a boy grow up with a mean
disposition is to name him Reginald
and compel him to still wear curls
after he has reached the school
age.
Putting a lot of money on some
women is as much of a total loss as
putting it <on an also ran at the

If girls are going to discard
clothes for rouge it will be some
job for them to tote around a full
length mirror they'll need to do
touching up they'll want to do in
the street cars, in the restaurants
and on the streets.
An unreasonable husband is one
who won't do anything but snore
like a house afire when his wife is
lying awake for the sole purpose of
hearing him talk in his sleep.
