None of the 11 can be classified as being either fanatically wet or fanatically dry, but a survey of their previous records and utterances inclines observers to place six in the dry column and five in the wet. This may or may not be an accurate estimate, but in any event it appears that the commission is fairly well balanced in this respect. What is even more important is the fact that each member is credited with the highest character and the purest motives. The commission will study all phases of the crime problem, not merely the prohibition question. A long and arduous duty confronts these distinguished citi zens, and while their conclusions will be advisory only, their finding will doubtless carry weight and be of the .highest value in framing legislation designed to correct the deploraible conditions which now exist, particularly if they are able to agree unanimously, or nearly so, in their final recommendations. In the meantime their fellow citizens should give them full moral support in their patriotic undertaking. A HEALTHY SIGN The invasion of new capital into Westward fur farms with ne wideas and additional fur-bearing animals is a healthy sign that they are not bluffed by bear. The present sponsor of the Long Island-Marmot Island pro ject under the name of the Alaska Fur Corporation is authority for the statement that much more money could be had from WTall Street if fur regulations were less stringent. Apparantly all our laws both at Wash ington and Juneau have sewed the Territory tight against foreign invasion. -o After weeding the garden you may get rid of the kink in your back by whitewashing the ceiling.
