A SURE PROGRESS
Slowly but surely, the internation
al plans to insure peace are progress
ing toward realization. A great marfy
of the things done today by the
League of Nations look puny, irreso
lute and sometimes ridiculous, for
that agency of peace is still far from
its ambitious goal. The various in
ternational councils that have in view
a somewhat similar goal seem often
academic rather than practical in their
deliberations. But as the swift years
roll past, there is evident an ever
growing public interest in these af
fairs, among the people of many na
tions, and gradually the people are
putting more and more organized en
ergy behind the consummation of the
plans for peace.
That great non-political and patri
otic organization the American Le
gion, has added its influence in this
country tor American participation
in the World court. This is no sud
den conversion, but the Legion’s de
liberate opinion that the court, as
an agency of order and peace among
nations, is worthy ol' the support of
the United States.
A great political party has made
the World court resolution a part of
its program, and its leaders have
drawn up certain reservations that
will make participation easier and
more sure of the support of Ameri
can public opinion. This country still
remains outside the league—with Rus
sia, Turkey, Germany and Mexico for
companions—but its cooperation in
the best that the League of Nations
is doing clearly assures Europe of
American interest and support in
solving the great central problem.
The slowness of progress is obvi
ous because the problem is gigantic;
but there is encouragement in the
fact that the problem is coming clo
ser and closer to a central place in '
world interest.
SENTIMENT
Rain in the desert has halted the
French advance in northern Africa,
and the Riff tribesmen have gained
an ally more effective, if less de
pendable, than a squadron of bomb
dropping “sportsmen” from the U. S.
A. Somehow, our sympathy goes to
the Moors, despite all the advertis
ed advantages of Christian civiliza
tion as manufactured in Paris and
administered by the French army.
We shall shed no tears if our gal
lant former allies are bogged in the
mud and are finally forced to leave
the desert tribesmen to enjoy in com
parative peace the land which their
lorefathers left them. This is a wrong
view, for the Riffs are barbarians and
don’t know how to keep the peace,
and we trust none of our customers
are so misguided as to share our
sentiment.
It is hard to forget, though, that
some of our ancestors once fought
a war of independence against a su
perior civilization.

OVERCOATS MISSING
Another epidemic has arrived! Sat
urday, two overcoats were reported
having been stolen in Seward. One
of these coats, purchased Friday and
costing $S5 was lost by its owner
that evening. The second coat, while
not so expensive, vanished from its
hook in a mysterious manner. Clues
to both thefts are being closely fol
lowed and arrests are expected to be
made momentarily.

i was again yesterday, this time mark

mond. This committee, of which
I Len Olson is chairman, will soon find
! itself confronted with the problem
of housing spectators, for interest
is already being aroused in the anti
cipations of indoor baseball. Sew
ard always having been a good base
ball town; and with the forming of
basketball teams last season’s en
thusiasm, on the part of the local
fans, is expected anew. This gym
floor being none too large for the
satisfactory playing of these two ma
jor indoor sports, it is probable that
the gallery, now in the hall, will be
put in shape to acconynodfcate a good
portion of the audiences, and then
too, the new basketball backboards
constructed by Manley Senf are a
decided improvement over those of
former years and have left an un
obstructed view to the stage where
another large number of watchers
can be seated.

ADVOCATES CARRYING OF ARMS
Every man and woman should carry
a gun, says Judge Francis X. Mancus
co, of General Sessions, as the means
to stop criminals who flout the pres
ent laws. If guns are allowed to citi

see “six shooters” carried at the hip
in holsters “a la Wild West,” the judge
says. He claims that a gun in the
hands of a citizen will earn more re
spect from the criminal.

Interior Plane Makes
Traveling a Pleasure
And they say Alaska has not pro
gressed much? A week ago the big
•'okker plane, stationed at Fairbanks,
lew from Wiseman in the Koyukuk
listrict, to Fairbanks, a distance of
ipproximately; 253 miles, in two hours
.nd thirty-five minutes. The plane
•rought out Mrs. Wheeler and Harper
Vorkman, well known operator. Both
rere among the Seward arrivals Sat
urday en route to the States on the
Alaska. Mrs. Wheeler is going out on
account of ill-health. Mr. Workman 0
spends his winters outside.
In earlier days it would have taken
about two weeks to have made the trip
it is stated, aside from the addition
al expense and personal discomfort of
the trail.
Charles Bartholf and W. S. Hom
ing, owners of the Mabel mine at
