The veterans of the World War.
two hundred thousand strong,
parade in New York City. It
was not so long ago that the sur
vivors of the Civil War presented
a similar front. Now they are
reduced to a few old gentlemen
riding in carriages. There was a
day when the Grand Army of the
Republic and its correcponding
organization in the South could
get about anything they wanted,
for the asking, but now all that
the survivors of the War between
the States can hope for is a quiet
seat in the shade, granted as a
matter of courtesy and not as a
matter of right. If the American
Legion has plans for the future, I
it had better get busy at once. It
was able to survive Get-man can- j
non but no power can save its
ranks from being thinned in the
march of Time. The child is born
who will look upon the last tot
tering survivor of the Wolrd War.
The Legion will do well to make
its influence felt for good before
all is left to remind one of the
World War are the stones that
mark the places where its sold
iers fought.
Over in Russia, they have dis
posed of political foes by what
has become to be know popularly
as a "purge”, twenty-nine men
having been quieted at once by
a firing squad. Purges are out of
fashion in the more highly civil
ized commuities, but at times a
person wonders whether or not
the old time purge, even though
not always ending with the noose,
was not a good thing for the gen
eral public after all. Many a
California town of the 40's set
tled down to a period of great
quiet after posting a notice that
specified individuals were to be
out of the village by sunset. The
difficulty attendant upon the plan
is that there is no present day
Solomon to make a wise choice as
to who is to be ejected. Yet the
fact remains that bad citizens are
known, and that about all that
can be done with them is to put
tbsm away for carrying a conceal
ed weapon or violating the in
come tax laws. Though not in
accordance with due process of
law perhaps,most localities would
be a happier place, for a few
months at least, if the old Vigi
lantes were given sway for a
time, letting the lawyers and the
courts fight it out later, while the
law-abiding body politic was en
joying peace and tranquility.

proposes an analogous variant in
that a quiet-loving ortion of that
country has started a revolt ag
ainst the nar. That sounds a tri
fle inconsistent, but if it is neces
sary that men contend at arms,
a war to put down a war is not
so bad a thing, and those who
must fight somebody, in order to
arrive at the end of a perfect day,
might be worse occupied.
A scientist discovers traces of
a lost race in Alaska. So far as
being “lost" is concerned there
are many advantages. There are
no rows about who is responsible
for the bent fender, and nothing
has to be done if the current fails
right in the middle of the perusal
of the evening newspaper. How
ever, Tennyson was right when
he said that a century of Europe
was better than a cycle of Cathay,
and until human nature changes,
or things get a great deal worse
than they now are, the majority
of mankind will be content to be
alive, and will not begrude lost
races the fun that comes from
being "lost”.
Kansas has a law suit in which
a woman 84 years old is charged
with running around with other
men. Ponce de Leon clearly
made a mistake in starching for
the fountain of eternal youth in
Florida.

“It is diplomatic custom for
great powers to discuss major

of the materials in order to av

an unsuccessful attempt to reach

However, it was not necessary to

a urpose.

Prime Minister Chamberlain’s
speech at Scarborough did not
arouse much official interest here.
It si referred to semi-officially as

true for Germany as well as for
Britain.
Your Post Office
Boxes Are Full:
Please Empty!!
Postmaster Guy E. Mish has re
quested the public to please call
at the postoffice and remove mail
matter from their boxes, so as to
assist in speedy dispatch of the
recently received mail shipment.
Inasmuch as the boxes are small,
and parcel post, and second class
matter usually bulky, it restricts
the activities when the boxes are
not emptied frequently.
Another feature which Post
master Mish has drawn attention
to is the fact that it is always
possible to dispatch parcel post
out of Nome, either by dog team
or airplane. This service, if once
widely understood by the public,
will possibly come in real handy
during the coming winter. Also
in this connection it was under
stood that frequently, when other
mail consignments are light, small
shipments of parcel post often
come through to Nome from the
States via plane mail, during the
winter. The winter mail service
starts sometime next week it is
understood, and Nome will once
again be receiving twice-a-week
mail service—something which is
badly needed during the summer
time, when the services into
Name are disrupted and often
cause serious inconveniences.
