AN ARGUMENT FOR COURT TERIV
IN SEWARD
Up to date there are forty reserva
lions made from Seward, Anchoragt
and westward points, by people irun
these districts, to attend the Valdt;
term 01 court. So iar as is knowr
all the cases to be tried at Valdes
come from the westward, and it is es
'timated that holding the term at Vai
dez will cost the people of this part oi
the division at least $10,Out) in time
lost, and mileage, fares and additional
attendance will run close to $6,000
beiore the term is over.
li the administration really desires
economy why is Seward denied a term
oi court? Why should citizens be com
pelled to travel several hundred miles
and spend several thousand dollars
for something that could be more eco
nomically done at home?
ONE oi the best arguments against
America's entrance into the League oi
Nations is shown in today’s dispatches
wherein it is stated that Italy, a mem
ber of the league, refuses to allow it
to arbitrate its difference, but will in
vade Greece, another member, with
an armed force. If the’ European
members of the League refuse to
abide by its rules, why should this na
tion add to its already onerous tax
burdens by appointing a high priced
commission to attend its delibera
tions? France, a member of the
League, has a larger force under arms
than she had during the last war. En
gland is building a mighty air fleet;
the other members are talking peace
and preparing for war. America and
Japan are the only two nations whose
pledges at the limitation of arms con
ference are being fulfilled, and they
will soon be compelled to abandon
breaking up their ships.
HOSTILE demonstrations against
the Ku Klux Klans are springing up
in nearly every city of the United
States. When a man can put on a
mask and defy the laws of the nation
by whipping his neighbor or tarring
and feathering him, it is a menace to
good government, and the people are
beginning to recognize it. The Klans
men apparently cannot stand a dose
of their own lawlessness.
CANADA has the whiskey and a
thirst, but through some quirk in U.
S. law it is impossible for shipments
1 to be made 1o the Sahara bounded by
the Yukon river, customs officials re
fusing to allow the liquor to cross the
little strip of land between Canada
and the Yukon territory. This is all
wrong, and serves no good purpose, as
it tends to lawlessness in an attempt
■ to get the liquor through. Canadians
i | should be allowed to drink Canadian
liquor on Canadian soil.
The financial report of the Alaska
railroad shows that business has
practically doubled since last year at
>; this time. At this rate the road will
11 soon be self supporting and paying a
>; dividend.
Congressman John Miller of Seat
| tie apparently favors the far western
part of the Aleutian islands as a site
for the proposed naval base. Just how
Japan and Russia would consider this
preparation in sight of their frontiers
is hard to figure out, but undoubtedly
they would register a vehement pro
J test.
