HERE’S THE MAN EOR THE JOB!
The rejection last week by the Senate of Presi
dent Hoover’s nominee, Judge Parker, to the Supreme
Court, focussed the attention of Alaskans to other names
submitted, for included in the list was one name which
means a whole lot to Alaskans, that of Judge Clyde E.
Stone, Associate Judge of the Supreme Court of the
State of Illinois. Judge Stone visited Alaska a few years
ago and while in Seward, local residents had the pleas
ure of making the acquaintance of a gentleman and a
scholar; meaning everything those words imply.
The name of Owen J. Roberts has since been sent
10 the Senate for confirmation but as yet no dispatch
has come thru announcing the appointment.
So. to those in Alaska who met Judge Stone their
most sincere wishes are extended to him that he may
be further honored. Mr. Roberts undoubtedly also is a
splendid man for the position but we have met and know
Judge Stone, know him as man to man and therefore
know that they don’t make them any better. If Alaskans
wiuld now be occupying that exalted position. But, Alas
ka, so far away and having no voice in National affairs
san do no more than express its heartfelt thoughts
toward a friend. The memory of Judge Stone’s visits to
Reward is one of the happiest this editor ever recalls
ami though oceans and a continent are between, and
.line has flown with the speed of the wind, yet neither
distance nor time will ever obliterate the happy memor
ies of that friendship formed.
A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR
Columbus discovered America in 1492. Nine times
1S (!3- The chief product of Pittsburg is steel and
ot Chicago, ‘pineapples.’ Oregon is bounded on the north
by the Columbia river. Virtue is its own reward. Alaska
has four judicial divisions.”
No more such questions for Seward school children
for some months now because vacation days are here.
Hip. hip, hoorah! and a buzzaw.
To the members of the faculty goes the gratitude
ot t.ie parents of the pupils, as well as the rank and file,
lor one of the most commonest remarks heard in the
city during the past school term was this: “The best
teaching staff Seward ever had. They should know
the esteem in which they are held. It helps a lot. The
sciool boaid is happy, of coursei for in the selection of
this staff, which will almost return intact next fall, noth
ing but qualifications were perused; and of the hun
dreds of aplications received, the present faculty was
selected or retained.
We bid adieu with regret to J. B. Kuhler and to
Mrs. Osbakken. Both have been highly valued members.
Mr. Kuhler will enter a larger system and Mrs. Osbak
ken will take hp her residence in Seattle.
I he teachers of our children head a mighty army.
They teach our children how to think and by their ac
tions set them examples how to live, whom to'honor, and
so on. Did any emperor ever command such power?
On the strength of his opening address at Newark !
for the Republican nomination to the United States Sen-1
ate. Dwight Morrow should be elected. He is one of the
few we have heard who seems to have the “guts” to
speak frankly on the subject. The term used here is just
about the most forcible one we know of to describe
what that dormant urge is.
. Er.nest Walker Sawyer says Alaska should devel-1
op us ivory products. Is the lad getting personal? !
ion CLUB HOLDS
. i ITS FIST MEETING
! . -
~ i The home of Capt. and Mrs. Carl
E. Anderson was the scene last !
night of a jolly gathering when
- the members of the high school
Dramatic Club held their first 1
meeting at 7:30.
A large number of high school i
I students were present, and those j
jvvho had previously been chosen i
■ | for the parts and since practiced i
-; together, presented before the rest
. a play entitled, "The Teeth of the
• Gifted Horse”, a clever little com- I
3 ,edy which was enjoyed by all. As
one member remarked, “the re- 1
( jfreshments were keen: we had cake }
i and sandwiches and ice cream and
| P0!3 we hadn’t forgotten to bring
i it ourselves”.
Everyone enjoyed themselves to
the utmost and it is regretted that •
I the termination of the school year
allows no more time for future
meeting of the sort.
FLUME WORK FINISHED
| About 30 yards of concrete has i
j been poured into that section of j
j the Lowell creek flume from the j
j railroad track to tidewater, fill
ing in between the steel rails and
making a smooth surface. It is
I thought today will see the com
■ pletion of the work which was
under the jurisdiction of the Alas
ka Road Commission.
. (
I The Fairbanks News Miner re- 1J
1 ports a large amount of Alaska | ■
Road Commission equipment has 11
been sent out and is now in use !!
on Interior roads. One summer ' ■
camp has been established at I
Cleary Summit: the road on both ]
sides will be maintained. Another ~
crew is located above Bell creek
thawing out culverts and opening
bridges on the Steese Highway.
Superintendent Frank Nash re
cently made an inspection trip
over the Richardson Highway as
far south as McCarthy. In a week j
or so, he reported, the road will be ,
in fair shape for traffic but has !
i issued a request that the public
keep off for a while in order to j
give the road a chance to dry up. j
After a seven-weeks’ trip to
Washington. D. C„ Asst. District
•Forester M. L. Merritt returned to j
Juneau last week.

“FOLLY” TOMORROW
The last issue of “Seward’s
Folly” the local high school cred
itable monthly monthly paper,
will be off the press tomorrow, i
This will give the staff an oppor- j
tunity to incorporate within its j
columns the story of tonight’s
graduation class. The issue is of
more than ordinary interest this
month because of the many items j
pertaining to where and when the !
faculty and students are going to j
spend their vacation, farewell j
messages, etc.
