FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1919

We have watched with much inter
est the unfolding of the life story of
the Rev. George D. Herron, who was
selected by President Wiilson as one
of the delegates to confer with the
Russians at the proposed Sea of Mar
mora conference. Circumstances
brought to our notice some years ago
the preachments and practices of the
reverend gentleman and we have
wondered how the country would take
his appointment when it became ac
quainted with his character and con
cepts.
As companion delegate for the Rev.
Mr. Herron the president chose that
upright, gentle-minded and somewhat
sentimental newspaper man, William
Allen White of Emporia, Kansas. If
we were privileged to confer new
titles on these gentlemen we should
put it somthing like this: “The Rev
erend William Allen White and the
Very Scandalous George D. Herron.
As an apostle of free love, Mr. Her
ron attained notoriety more than
twenty years ago when his radical
teachings attracted the attention of a
rich lady who is said to have financed
his preaching and propaganda. Hav
ing obtained a divorce from his first—
or was it his second?—wife he mar
ried the rich lady.
Herron is tall, somewhat oriental
il ppcttl lllfe, OUU itcio, vn iiLvvv i-"vuv
years ago, a delicate brunette com
plexion. When he wore his hair rather
long and trimmed his beard just so he
looked quite startling like some of the
accepted pictures of Christ. He dif
fered from some others who simulated
the bodily characteristics of the tra
ditional Christ pictures in that he was
fastidious in manner and dress. At
first his teachings were palely radical,
on the order of Christian socialism,
if our memory serves us. Later he
discarded many of the orthodox ten
ents—especially those relating to mar
riage—and became an out-and-out
spouter of radical doctrines, in both
the religious and economicVealms.
Having moved eastward by devious
stages he settled for a time in Metu
chen, N. J., where he founded a col
only of “advanced thinkers.” One
annoying day the less “advanced
thinkers” of that rural community took
after the “advanced thinkers” with
pitchforks and other persuasive im
plements. The Rev. Mr. Herron evi
dently kept bn running until he hit
Switzerland. There he settled down
to rest and obscurity until the war
broke out. He came into the limelight
again when he rejected a secret offer
from German agents to carry on some
sort of negotiations looking to a set
tlement with the United States. In
that case he revealed his enduring
love for his native land and we desire
in justice, to give him full credit for
spurning the Teutonic offer.
But why did President Wilson elect
such a character to treat with the
Russians? Was it because Herron’s
free love ideas conformed more or\lese
closely with those of the Bolshevik!
whom the allies have been trying tc
beguile down to Prince’s island in the
Sea of Marmora? We are taking it for
granted that the President was thor
oughly familiar with the career anc
teachings of the reverend gentleman
Both have been university professors
—one in Iowa and the other in New
Jersey, and the president, probably
was in New Jersey at the time of the
charge of the pitchfork brigade.
There is nothing reverend about th<
Bolshevlkl. They have discarded re
ligion and slain the teachers of Chris
tianity. Naturally they would not can
to meet with George D. Herron, th<
more or less reverend, merely to dis
pute on points of theology. But th<
Rev. Mr. Herron and the Bolshevik
could meet on the common ground ot
free love and exchange sympathetic
views.
From time to time tlfe dispatches
have referred to the “nationalization
of women” in the districts of Russia
dominated by the Bolsheviki. Occa
sionally the newspapers have gone in
to details. In some provinces of Rus
sia all women between the ages of 11
and 35 have been made wards of tht
state. They must jnarry when ant
how the Btate directs and the direc
tions follow the basest tenets of fret
love cults. It will suffice, perhaps, t<
say that some of these Bolshevik
edicts would have stirred at least t
sentiment of horror in the souls of thi
sensualists of Antioch and Babylon.
In this country, both in the Soutl
and North, we lynch men for practice
which the Bolsheviki have enact©
into law. *
We cannot help but pity the pei
fectly respectable newspaper man whi
has been selected by the President t
go on the slumming party to Prince’
island in the Sea of Marmora.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Wickersham will find it as difflcul
to pin the Guggenheim tag on Seen
tary Lane as people usually find it t
brand a Texas mustang.—Juneau Err
pire.
As the days grow longer and th
weather becomes warmer most of th
interest in Alaskan coast towns cen
ers on the waterfront. The watei
front is the home of the gas boat bu
—that particular individual who d<
votes all his waking hours to talkin
about and tinkering with gas engines
Among the many bills that have bee
introduced at this session of the legis
lature we are surprised that non
have proposed a bounty on gas-boa
bugs.—Douglas News.
If there is any plan whereby Alask
can secure adequate and reasonabl
freight and passenger service, let'
have it. Governor Riggs may have hi
on the solution to the matter in hi
message to the legislature. In r<
gards to transportation service th
territory is going backwards instea
of forward, and as a measure of pre
tection to the territory, everyone wil
concede that something must be dons
Where rates everywhere else in th
world dropped at. the cessation of hos
tilities, those in Alaska went up. Tha
is the whole story in a nutshell an
the straw that broke the camel’s bad
Better to risk all that we have in th
territory than to be slowly and syst(
matically starved to death. Let's hav
the steamers.—Douglas News.
LIKE “TARZAN OF THE
CLEVELAND, O., April 11—Willi
O'Brien, 16, always had longed for a(
venture but found it far out of hi
reach. On his salary he couldn’t sav
enough money to pay railroad fare t
the rolling plains of the W^st. Beside
they wouldn’t sell him a revolver, an
he didn’t know where to get a cowbo
Lhat. He worked In a hat store once
put though there were soft hat
pinned up in front, inch-brimmed die*
box derbies and trick hats that folde
when you touched them, among the ol
stock there wasn’t a snake-skin-banc
ed sombrero to be had.
But when Willie saw “Tarzan of th
Apes" in the movies he knew his oj
portunity had come to him. He coul
find adventure at home. He woul
emulate Tarzan and become a wil
man. There w,ere woods at the end c
Euclid avenue. And he worked, nov
in a fur store.
Yes, the police brought him in
wlth a $160 fur coat and numerous ui
finished skins with which his “den
was to have been draped.

COMPOSER OF “CARRIE”
WANTS BOOZE CURE TO
AGAIN WRITE SONGS
CHICAGO, April 11.—"I don’t wanna
' get no bail; I wanna go to jail. Bum
bum, that’s the jail-house rag.”
“Scotty the Whistler” sang the lit
1 tie refrain in a South Side police sta
• tion recently when arrested for steal
1 ing a khaki kit.
> “Guess you don't know who I am?”
I he asked the desk sergeant. “No—
l well, I tell you, I’m H. Scott Lawrence,
i I wrote ‘Carrie.’ Mjr wife died, then
I traveled the booze route for a time,
i I wanna go to jail. I stole that kit.
j Stole one the day before, but dog gone
1 ’em, they didn’t see me. I want to go
to jail—take the booze cure, then go
. back to writing songs.”
( “Lead me to my little cell,
, Then lock the nice, cold, shiny door.”
, The rest of the song was lost—as
Lawrence was placed in a “sound-proof
cell." f
