The burial of ex-President
Wilson l ist Wednssday, ma rked
the end of a career that was a'
once tragic and sublime. An au
thor and exponent of greater
freedom for the common people,
Wilson, toward the end of his
presidential term was called t h •
dictator of America. He adopt ed
methods of procedure which lost
him the support of Congress yet
he was man enough to go on his
way alone and carry his plans to
their culmination. Human man is
not made that can carry the bur
den Wilson voluntarily assumed
and it was only natural that he
should break under the strain.
Wilson’s place in history will
never be realized by this gener
ation, so many are the ramiticat
'ons of world politics engender
ed by our entrance into the great
war. No doubt, in time when the
passing of years makes it pos
sible for historians to review the
events of today from an unpre
jubiced viewpoint, Woodrow Wil
son will be given a seat in the
hall of fame in the front ranks
among the Great Americans.
Everyone who saw "The Cheecha
kos” admitted that the .scenery was bea
tiful, but a great many deplored the
fact that more summer scenes were not
worked into the plot. Now that we want
Alaska advertised es "T^he Land of the
Midnight Sun” one movie showing it
as such would create a more lasting im
prtssion on the public mind than co
lumns of newspaper articles. What if
it didn’t come up to the preconceived
notion that the people in the east have
of A laski as being a hind of ice and
j snowaiul parkas and dog teams and law
11 'ssness? It would surely have a strong
er appeal to intelligent tourists and
i homessekers than a picture in which
reel after reel depicts vast stretches of
snow and ice.

PENSiON ALLOWANCES
Juneau—Owing u> the laca of
lands, due to an insutfic;ent ap
proprialion by the Legislature, no
1 urther pension allowances can
ue granted under the Old Age
Pension Act, according t° an au
thorized statement made by Loc
Kie MacKinnon, Treasurer of tin
Pioneer s Home, whichadminis
ters the act, as follows:
"There are now 191 pensioners
on tlie roil, of which L06 are men
and -5 are women. The last Le
gislature increased the allowance
to men from $12.50 to $25 per
month and to Aomen from $25
to $4b per month, but did not in
crease the appropriation to meet
such increase Ti.e effect of this
failure to provide funds is that
that over one third of the appro
priation of $60,000, or to be exact
$21,755.25 has been disbursed du
ring three-eights of the biennium
leaving an unexpended balance
of only $28,244.75. Even with no
more allowances and continuing
the roll as it exists today a defi
cit of $12,210 would ensue.
". . . The act specifically limits
its generous provisions to person
in ’actual need’ and the Board, in
passing upon apalications, has of
necessity kept in mind that limi
