Whatever may be the final de
cision of the American government
regarding the right of Lord Mayor
O’Callaghan to be in the United
States, the stowaway visitor will
have accomplished the purpose for
which he came, long before any deci
sion is reached.
The News docs not share the
opinion of those Alaskans who con
demn Governor Riggs for his action
in the Mailo Segura case. The gov
ernor has done what any fair-mind
ed governor would have done under
the circumstances. He is putting it
squarely up to the President to say
whether this man is guilty of a
more heinous crime than that which
was committed by a foreigner in
the Fairbanks district, who murdered
his victim for money and afterwards
sought to destroy the body by burn
ing it. The President saved that
man’s life, but he would have per
mitted this one to. die but for the
timely intervention of Governor
Riggs.
We do not believe the President
should interfere in these matters.
He is too far away to be competent
to pass judgment intelligently and
interference, to say the least, is not
complimentary to the men he has
appointed to deal with such cases.
But inasmuch as he has seen fit to
save the neck of one man, guilty
beyond doubt of an unpardonable
offense against society, he should
not now refuse to hear the appeal
of a man whose offense is at least
not more grievous.
Interior Alaskans should gel be
hind the McBride movement for the
development, of farming lands on a
comprehensive basis. The fertility of
Tanana valley soil has already been
demonstrated by the pioneer agri
culturalists who followed close on
the heels of gold seekers, and many
of the farmers have made good.
But it has been a hard struggle
and development too slow to be of
material benefit to tho Interior
country. More fanners are needed
to bring in new and larger areas,
and Mr. McBride has pointed out
the way to get them. The plan
should have an especial appeal to
Nenana, situated as it is, in the
very heart of one of the most
favored agricultural regions in the
whole territory.
In these days of turmoil, and
crime and unemployment, Alaskans
should place a liberal value on the
privilege of living in a land that is
free from all that is undesirable,
albeit lacking in some of the de
sirable features, as well. It should
be, and is, a source of satisfaction
to Northerners to know that they
can go about their business with
out fear of molestation from thugs
and highwaymen; that they can
leave their cabin doors unlocked
with reasonable assurance that their
belongings will be untouched during
their absence; that they can let their
wives and daughters move about
freely and in perfect safety; and
that there is food in abundance in
the hills and streams, in time of
need, and fuel aplenty.
Alaska is a haven for law-abiding.
peace-loving citizens; a safe retreat
from the dangers and pitfalls of
the Outside; and a land of oppor
tunities for the energetic.
UNCLE SAM LEADS
Inadequate as the expenditures for
education in the United States are,
figures compiled in the Bureau of
Education show that the people of
the United States are now paying
annually for education as much, if
not more, than the total paid for
education by the peoples of all
other countries; that is, half the
total expenditures for education, ele
mentary, secondary, and higher, of
the whole world are made in the
United States, which contains ap
proximately one-seventeenth of the
population of the world.
Since we in the United States are
just beginning to learn that money
paid for education is not an ex
pense, but our most profitable in
vestment, it may be expected, says
a bulletin issued by Territorial Com
missioner of Education Henderson,
that the total, if not the relative,
amount paid for education in this
country will rapidly increase in the
next few years.
During the year 1021 it is esti
mated that $1,015,000,000 will be
expended for the maintenance of
public elementary and secondary
schools in the United States.

Palmer, well known oldtimer who
went Outside for the benefit of his

TACOMA BANK IS CLOSED;
MISMANAGEMENT ALLEGED
TACOMA, .Ian. 18—The Scandi
navian American bank of this city
was closed by the state bank exam
iner yesterday, the cause of the ac
tion being “gross mismanagement
resulting in the accumulation of
non-liquid assets.”
The bank has 12,000 depositors,
the deposits totaling approximately
half a million dollars. The bank is
said to have no connection with the
other bank of similar name in this
state.
UTAH WANTS HIGH TARIFF
SALT LAKE, Jan. 18—The Utah
senate, following the lead of the low
er house of the legislature, has ap
proved a memorial urging Congress
to pass the Fordney emergency tar
iff measure, which was reported
favorably by the senate finance com
mittee. The memorial points out
that the passage of the bill is neces
sary to stabilize business and finan
cial conditions.
One Pair Did Not Wear Out!\
IT was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
They tramped clear across Labrador, five months ot
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all w'orn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the lop
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
