ANOTHER DREAM SHATTERED
The dream of an Arctic continent has
been shattered. At least Amundsen assures
the world that his observations have noth
ing but a waste of frozen waters between
the pole and Alaska. His report seems to
dispose of a theory at least, if not of a be
lief.
Ever since the discovery of gold in Alaska
especially in the beds of rivers emptying in
the Arctic Ocean, there has been hope that
in some unknown land to the north there
might be found the world’s richest depos
its. If mineral resources should be lacking
in this land, it was confidently expected that
it would be rich in fur yield, especially in
those furs that must be found in the coldest
regions. In either event there were visions
of wealth on the part of those who hoped |
that an unknown continent might be found, j
But like many nice laid plans of mice and
men this scheme of wealth vanishes. There
seems to be no possible invitation to the ad
venturer, the prospector, or the trapper, to
go farther northward. When they come to
the shores of Alaska they come to the end
of the world.
The Senate limited to $10,000 the amount
to be expended by the special committee j
which investigated the recent primary ex
penses. This sum did not begin to cover all
expenses if the committee which will make
a thorough investigation of all 1926 primar
ies. An investigation of primaries may turn
out to be outside of the jurisdiction of the
Senate committee. The Supreme Court has
held that primary elections are not “elec
tions” within the meaning of the Constitu
tion.
“I didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier” was
a pre-war policy of the pacifists that filled
thousands of American graves in far-away
France, and now the Federal Council of
Churches launches a drive against that mili
tary training, in the schools and colleges,
designed to save the manhood of the next
generation from the sacrifice to unprepar
edness laid o nthe altar of partiotism by the
present generation. Ours is becoming a
government of organized minorities, of the
propagandists, for the propagandists, and
by the propagandists.
John Goldstrom is trying to encircle the
globe in 25 days. Most of us prefer to take
more time to see the world—what’s the big
rush ?
Politics for some time promises to be bone
dry, damp, moist, wet, wetter, wettest—
take your choice.
Experience is a hard school—you never
graduate.
“Pitilacker” is the new word meaning
those who are cruel to animals, but we pre
fer the good old word, “brute.”

ther place where you will be equally bored.
