PLANER KN!FE SHAVES MAN
Trims Whiskers of Civil War Veteran
Who Swore He Would
Never Shave.
Harvard, Colo.—For the first time
since the civil war Henry C. Boylston
of this city has trimmed his whiskers.
However, it wasn’t his fault. When
Boylston’s detachment of the confeder
ate army surrendered he vowed he’d
never trim his whiskers as long as he
lived.
He was planing lumber with an au
tomatic planer, operating with rotat
ing knives. Lengthy whiskers tucked
in his vest, he bent over the board,
# but he bent too far. The whiskers
caught in the knives, and with a yell
of pain Boylston bid good-by to his
hirsute adornment. It was the first
time since 1865 his chin had seen the
daylight.
A clean shave at the barber shop
finished the job.

to Democracy and placed her repre
sentatives in charge of our legisla
tive halls it was he that stood upon
the floor of congress and rendered
valiant service alongside of Clark
and Underwood in the great construc
tive work that marked the initial
steps of Democracy’s re-ascendence.
“When, less than four years ago,
the nation resorted to arms to vindi
cate her sovereignty, to repel and
resent repeated insults to her citizen
ry, it was he that by fearless admin
istration of his trust as custodian,
enriched our war resources by $1,000,
000,000 and directed that power
against the foe from whom it was
taken.
“No task assigned to layman or of
ficial has ever been performed, in the
history of this government, with such
measure of success that has attended
his administration as Alien Property
Custodian.
“When, during the war and succeed
ing it, the insidious evil of anarchy
and her lawless litter, arose, it was
he that stood valiantly against the
protests of parlor bolshevists, aginst
the thrusts of venal pen and slander
ous tongue and deported and im
prisoned the defamers of the nation—,
aye even at the threat of the ‘terror
ists’ bombs.
“Tried in the crucible of danger
and menaced by dire peril, the attor
ney-general of the United States
has not merely professed, but he has
proven his true Americanism. I call
history for my witness and her an
nals for my proof. There they stand
without impeachment—mute, eloquent
and convincing. While his detractors
were strutting through the land with
malign attack, there he stood at the
capital of the nation bravely facing
her enemies in defense of the ashes
of our Fathers and the temple of the
Gods’.
“While the violent voice of agita
tion was being raised against him for
restraining fuedal force from palsy
ing the hand of industry, there he
stood fearlessly vindicating the law,
unmoved by the clamor and tumult
that threatened against him all forms
of reprisal. When more dangerous
foes asserted themselves—the assas
sin, the anarchist and the communist,
there he stood panoplied in the armor
of a Vulcan, striking with all the
might and majesty of the nation, con
fusing the columns of sedition and
scattering the serried ranks of reds.
“But behind him I see a solid phal
anx of true Americanism that knows
no divided allegiance. I see the hum
ble citizens who worship their govern
ment. I see the worthy sons o'
those noble sires that sleep in a hun
dred battlefields hallowed by their
own blood. I see the grim determina
tion that pervades them as they re
solve that this nation shall not perish.
I see them following a shining helmet
emblazoned with the light of liberty
and adorned by the criflamme of
right. A new Navarre is upon the
field. His lance is that of law; his
shield is that of justice; and Demo
cracy again triumphs led and inspir
ed by Pennsylvania’s noblest product
whom I now name for the president
of the United States, A. Mitchell
Palmer
It is an undoubted fact that the rail
way now building has hurt Alaska
as a whole, instead of benefiting the
territory. A few towns along the
route have been benefited but every
thing that could be pulled to these
towns from the other localities has
been given them. Even with this
help there must result an enormous
deficit once the road is in operation.
This will necessitate further inroads
on the industries and payrolls of the
other towns, as instanced by the re
cent routing of the interior mails via
Seward and Anchorage. Any old-tim
er who knows anything at all knows
that the mail can leave Cordova and
be nearly to Fairbanks by the time
the steamship reaches Seward. But
the object is to help the railroad.—
