JIROtTLATlON OI/ARA NTEET) TO BE MORE ’THAN fw»rn*.w THAT OF A NT OTHER ALASKA N-’.VS,nAPER. •———-*— PAYING ATTENTION TO PINCHOT. Andrew W. Mellon tlie citizen cannot Ignore tlie definite chargos bnouglit against him by Gifford Pinchot the citizen. Even loss can the Secretary of the Treasury ig nore such charges brought by the Governor of Pennsylvania. Not only are the two men concerned as Individuals in the grave stntrmdbts imputed to Gov. Pinchot speaking before tho Methodist Conference at Spring field, Maas., but the Administration add .the ij Governmedt are affected. V In a word, Gov. Pinchot is quoted as implying that Secretary Mellon winked or connived at lawhreaking related to hi3 own personal property in Overholt whiskey. He Is further quoted as implying that tlie Sec retary’s opposition to a Congressional in vestigation of Prohibition enforcement by the Treasury Department arises tram a desire to cosceal evidence of personal dereliction. j The public will pot accept <witbouh-prfTof euch statements about lit. Mellon. Hut it will feel that they cannot ibe idly made or Ignored if any confidence ill the Govern ment of the United States or its officers is to be retained.— (New York World.) If we are to have a Congressional investigation i qvery time Gifford Pinchot, either as GHjtord or as the Governor of Pennsylvania, makes a clrarge with out any basis in fact, Congress will havje no time till er for legislation or other Investigations. Pinchot is a manufacturer of theories • and of circumstances to justiify his theories, egotism and vanity; For the last quarter century or so that he has managed, through tho uso of his money, his voluble tongue and persistent writing, to kcop himself in ^he public ,qy». he has given as facts so many statements that Yevo~ no foundation in truth Tbtft wisdom dictates that tlio rulo should ho to accept, as false anything any everything he says and muke him ’prove the contrary. The only way tp prevent thisdemogogic blatherskite from becoming a nuisance to: the point of ptostructlng tlie conduct of business is to ignore him and his truthless Jabbaring just as Secretary \ Mellon ignores him. NO KING OF IRELAND. , - ; I Tlu? Irish Free State la complaining Because the Jaw which makes the British ruler’s title) ‘‘King of Oioat Britain and Ireland," has not beep changed, i b he Free titalo roftuvod for sometime to ratify the Wa hinvjtou Liquor Treaty because In the preamble It referred to "His Majesty, the King of Groat Britain end Ireland," and tho majority for it in the Dali wav! small when It Anally was ratltled The Irish Insist i lift King Georgo is not King of: Ireland; and that] laii title should bo limited to "King of Gredt Britain." The Manchoater Guardian thinks the matter is f '<11 but it urges that the change tbe mad?. It says: Presumably this trouble will recur, and, flight as the ground for it .teems, k will he worth avoiding. The simpje omission of tlu words "and Ireland" from the King’s title would apparently vindicate strict ac curacy and eootho the objootor(i In tho Dull; with that omission the essential words would run "of the United Kingdom of Oreaj Bri tain and of the British Dominions Ifeyond tho Seas.” The Irish Free State would then bo represented as standing in the same relation to the British Throhe as Canada or Australia, which la presumably all that is needed. Tho change might require a formal proclamation, similar to the one of lyl7 by which King George assumed tlie name of Windsor and abandoned ull the title* con nected with Saxony and Saxo-Coburg and Gotha. For these "degrees, styles, dignities, titles, honors” are serious matters to lteralds and constitutionalists, and any rearrange ment in thorn may have ”(o be approached v/ith care. But if we are ull to take them very seriously there is all the more feasan for trying to get them absolutely accurate. V — __ COOLIPGE AM) THE IMMIGRATION BILL. All tilings considered, probably President Coolldge iiamjjcd tho immigration bill .with its provision for Japanese exclusion in the most practicable) way that was open to him. Ilia statement, assuring (he Japan ^re of the cordinl friendship and admiration of the American -Beiijile and mildly rpbuking Congress for jjiastc, win lirobably mollify tile Japanese' spirit of ifseptment. , At tho same time, tipi Americans have <he exclusion law and the country has asserted her right to determine who shall and who sli^ll not oe permitted to come to the United States,; that tlie Immigration question in this country is » domestic and not an International matter. In this position the President has acquiesced. ROUND-THE-WORLI) FLIERS AND HARD LUCK. It is now the European round-the-world fliers ■who are experiencing tho hard Hick. Tlie French long diotanco flight had been cancelled boca&se of the destruction of the flight plaue when nearing its destination. It had made tho best time and covered more miles than cither the Americans or thq English-! men. Now comes the news that the English fliers/ have partly, at least, wrecked their machine. In the moantime, three of the American machines are In Japan and preparing to proceed on their way. While Americans regret the 111-fortune of the competitors of their countrymen and wish them good luck tin the future, if there is to bo further acci dents they will hope that they miss the American uiers who have had their share of them. Ireland's protest against retaining the name of tlieir country in the title of the English King Is not without reason. The change should be made. Ireland uas no King, though a part of Ireland, that part not included in the Irish Free State, still acknowledges allegiance to the Crown. With something like 5,000 votes cast in the Alaska Republican primary election and something more than 1,000 cast in the Democratic primary; Alaskans took more interest in the recen^ nomin ating contests than the voters of most of the States have taken In their primaries. Gov. Smith has made a new record. He vetoed more than 100 bills in one day and saved something like $60,000,000 to the taxpayers of his State. Now York papers of all parties are congratulating the Governor on the courage and good judgment he shewed, and the strength and logic of his veto messages. Visiting Our Neighbors. (Seattle Po: t-Intelligencer.) As a friendly visit to cld-timo neighbors, and an encouragement to cur strong trade relations, the Seattle Young Men’s Business Club has arranged tor an excursion to Alaska on tho steamship Alameda, leaving Seattle on May 25. Reservations are being made at tho club headsuarters in the Haight Building. Tho nature of the visit requires that Seattle busi ness men shall make up a large portion of tho personnel. But the families of those, together with professional men and their families, will also be taken. Seattle, the entreport of tho great North, is the traditional friend of Alaska. Wo have stood shoulder to shouder with Alaskans in many a fight for Ter ritorial rights and betterments, and we nre ready to go to the front for thorn again on occasion. VV’e d<rire to keep in close touch with the people of the North, and to this end the present excursion is undertaken. The Alaskan empire is just beginning a great forward movement, in closer touch with tile States' of the mainland. With the coming of tourists in larger numbers the present season, a season of now growth and progress is duo to begin. Seattle is helping thl3 in every possible way. Thousands of the Charmed Iatnd tourists will bo re ceptive to tho lure of an extended trip into the Alaskan country. Soattle is going to do its share in inducing a larger travel to the North. Every stateroom should be filled on the Alamera excursion May 25 to the end that an impressively large party of Seattleics should carry our good wishes with them. Alaska has been of great worth to Seattle in its rapid growtli to metropolitan proportions. We l.Cpe we have been of similar value to Alaska in the past, and aro ready to promise continued support in the future. Conan Doyle on San Francisco. (San Francisco Bulletin.) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has written so many nice things about San Francisco it may seem discourteous to call him to task for his criticisms. H Is nice of him to say that thiis lias always been one of his dream cities, that It is hnllorwad by so many fine literary associations and that its profs Is ‘‘very enterprising and very intelligent.” Even more comforting is tho assurance that "On closer acquaintance I find San Francisco far less psychic than Dos Angeles.” Ten thousand _ thank- for those kind words. It Us indeed something to ne told that we are not the homo of tho nuts and cranks, spook chasers, tabl'' rappers, cuijamaniacs and psychounaloonatios. To be admired for our natural beauties and the intelligence of our people by so eminent a nature lover and scientist as Conan IXpylo is second only to the tribute of being disparaged by him as a dealer In spirits of the departed. Right gladly do we concede to the southern city tho questionable honor of pre-eminence in the psychic field. Change Will Not Be Noticeable. (New York Times.) i It is not improbable that different men will hold in urcotsion tho Premiership of France while tho parliamentary situation is being crystalizod. But oven tit is will not alter any of tho fundamentals. I he methods of negotiation may differ somewhat, but tho French people will stand fast on the program of demanding that Germany live up to hor obligations and pay reparations. So also will they insist on sanctions and security. But even the “unpleasant words" can be spoken pleasantly. The best diplomacy is that which accomplishes a disagreeable task with tho smallest amount of friction. Conscience is liko railway strength. If it is carefully tended it will keep you on the right track. — (Chicago tNbwe.)

Observation or Oldest Inhabitant The old-fashioned man who used to complain about the trouble he had with ids wife now has a son who complains about the trouble he has with his car. The Ananias Club "We had a guest from California, and though she spent three weeks with us, she never once mentioned the climate, but often spoke of the horrors of the earthquake out there’’ said the man next door. Everybody To Their Taste “I believe in taking things philo sophically.” said the Optimist. “And I,” said the thief, ''believe in taking them surreptitiously." Well, He’s Right, Too “Sometimes you’ll find Said Hiram Hupp, "That tho best thing To own is up.” Can You Beat It? It is getting so that when a girl “gets up In the pictures” she gets mixed up in a Hollywood scandal and they bar her from the pictures. Something In That, Too Blinks—I suppose it is loss pain ful to be struck with an idea than with a motor car. Jinks—Probably: but you can’t collect on your accident policy when you have been Struck with an idea. I _ Fanout Hangings Hanging fire. * Hanging baskets. Hanging pictures. Hanging gardops.

A Wonder, All Right “What maker, you think he is a wizard?” asked . Jones. “Well," bald the realtor, “he hasn’t been selling real estate very long, but he ran into’ a young couple yes terday who wore starting out to buy a 1924 sport model car..and before he loft them he persuaded them; they’s rather have a cute little bun galow, with uursory and everything.” j Well, Emma, Maybe 'Twas An Ear, Muff^ After All (Emma Spencer5 In Newark Advocate Melting Pot.) Sam Hill, In his observant way, notlcod a head fine in the Advocate proclaiming to all and sundry, “Pret ty Eardrops,” and wondered If any one picked it up, but It naturally would not attract as much atten tion, say, as Pretty Earrings. We Take It the Horse Wasn’t a Fiery Steed (Big Bone, Kyj Cor. Boone County Recorder.) On account of Goebel Black's ma chine catching on fire and burning the back of the front seat consid erably, he was forced to make calls on horseback. Ever Meet Him "Pa,” said Clarence, “what do they mean by a prize egotist?" “He is a man who is willing to admit the night has a thousand eyes but believes tlio day has one big I and he is It,” replied his dad. More Or Less True Maybe the stocking bank does not pay as much interest as the other banks, do but we’ll bet it attracts more. Our own guess it that it would be better for the country to have the women to hold their husbands than to have them hold office. The idea some girls have of matrimony—is—first get your man and then "got his money.” A lot of middle-aged women are keen enough for the new ways but they’d give almost anything to have their oil weigh back again. It is different about your money, but you'll find it mighty hard to get others to share your good opin ion of yourself. Even ir they don't need them for their bobbed hair we suppose wo men have to keep right on buying I hair pins so friend husband can have a pipe cleaner when he needs | it and they can have something han dy to fix all the things that get out of order around the house. Another thing we wouldn’t mind risking a little money on is the bet that the mush period doesn't last as long on a second honeymoon as it does on a first. It’s going to be awfully disap- I pointing to a let of people who have seen to it that all their charitable deeds have had front page posi tions down here to get up above and discover the recording angel hasn’t ever heard of them. We often have wondered if each | one in the home had their own pri vate bathroom what the family | would have to fuss about in the mornings. We have our doubts about kiss ing spreading disease, but we are pretty sure it does increase matri mony and divorces. One thing matrimony has taught some men is that some women get red headed without the aid of henna. I In this motor age it does seem as if we need a new phrase to re-/1 place that worn out expression, “graceful carriage."
