WILSON IRRECO NCI LIABLE
Former President Wilson, the most
irreconciliable of the mall, is still for
the whole league or none. He has
come out against President Harding’s
proposal that the United States ratify
the international ccAtrt plan because it
would not be consistent with the atti
tude of the United States for candor
and courage. Full adhesion to the
league with whatever responsibilities
adhesion involves, is his program.
It was this attitude in which the
former president is consistent that
prevented the United States from be
coming a member of the league of na
tions in 1919 or 1920. The senate,
-save for a few who could look ahead,
was ready to join the league. The
president was so insistent that it go
in as he dictated that if did not go in
at all.
Time has shown the judgment of the
people in refusing to shoulder Europe’s
burdens. By a majority of 7,000,000
the country rejected the league. Pop
ular opinion is also against the worid
court.
SEWARD .has reached a stage where
unified and unanimous effort will lift
us from the slough of despond in
which we have been mired the past
lour years. Times are auspicious for
taking hold of several projects for the
beuterment of the town, and it is
certain that this will be done. The
Standard Oil tanks are now a cer
tainty and by every citizen getting in
and boosting we are equally certain of
the pulp mill. Bunker sites have been
chosen by the navy department, and
the coming survey may also bring
other naval projects. The summer is
on us, and it behooves us to make the
most of a short season.
BY his veto of the resolution by
which Attorney General Rustgard was
authorized to attack the validity of the
Presidential orders creating fish re
serves, Governor Bone has saved the
Territory a large sum of money and
showed that the hand at the helm of
.the ship of state is capable of steering
between the reefs of partisan politics
and radical legislation. The powers
of the President are unquestioned, and
it would be a waste of money in at
tempting to question them.
PRESIDENT HARDING says he is
resolved to be a publisher until his
estate is settled. If he insists on
pushing his wrnrld court plan on to
the people his wish will probably be
gratified.
France is progressing. Once she
needed wire fences to keep the Ger
mans back and now all it takes is
Poles.
The Ku Klux Klan has served one
purpose. It shows what a -fool a
man can make of himself if he thinks
nobody knows him.
MAN may be descended from mon
keys but judging some men by some
monkeys the latter ought to be
ashamed of it.
A PATRIOT is a man who can egg
on other men to fight for their coun
try.
IF you can* get a bootlegger un
der any other law you might get him
for impersonating an officer.
ONE reason why small towns are so
quiet and peaceful is that doctors do
not tell all that they know.
THE trouble writh science is that it
pays <00 much attention to our origin
and not enough to our destination.
THE modern girl may be weak but
she is not effeminate.
IT takes one kind of nerve to fight
a bull and another kind to sling it.
FLYING FISH REPORTED

er Starr reported on arrival in Sew
ard that while off Chignik the vessel
