The children were diuong Mr. Hard
iua’s nioti enthusias m admirers. He
had straightforwardness, simplicity,
love of animals and the outdoors in
common with them, lie \ as a staunch
alh of the organizations f youth,
Boy Scouts, crirl bcou.s, Camp Five,
and half a dozen outers. For many of
the school children in the 1 nhed
States, President Hal dill's dea’li was
the first contact with national calam
ity. It made an lutpres ton the> will
retain through life.
The opportunity to express their af
fection and have aom- part in estab

Shrine is a privilege properly accord
ed the 16.h00.00e school children of
the country.

Washington, D. C. 'lleie the names I

ment in the Harding Shrine at Marion.
It is the sort of Uimi' 1 the simple
hearted Warren Has ding would have
liked best and treasured most the
children's tribute to ill3 twenty-ninth
president of the United Stales.
AN ARDENT CHAMPION
Under the head ol "Undesirable and
Unreliable Publicity,” the Juneau Um
pire hastens to champion tht cause of
the 53 cannerymen who violated the
fishing laws of the First division liny
Empire’s plea for the violation is that
the cannerymen believe the legislature
had no right to make such laws, and
desire to test them out in court as to
their legality.
Which is a mighty pool argument;
to be advanced for law-breaking. The
moral wrong is there. Accoiding to
the Gateway’s article the cannerymen
have been publicly affirming they
want to have laws passed to conserve j
the fish supply. The legislature ac
commodated them; they refused to
obey these laws and fished in close
season. Right or wrong, they fished
when they should not have fished. W e
reiterate it is up to the cannerymen
to take concerted action toward con
ferring the fish supply.
Why the haste to defend them? Why
does the Empire consistently cham
pion every’ cause in which outside in
terests and Alaskans clash? Why not
try working for the Territory for a
time?
The Empire violently criticised the
report of the Valdez jury, which -was
a good report, so far as it went, w'hich
was not near far enough. It differed
with the grand jury in the First divi
sion as to its right to curb the fish ba
ron’s activities. Every one is out of
-step but the Empire. The Gateway
editor has never claimed any great
knowledge of Alaskan conditions, as
do some other papers constantly at
tempting to hamper territorial devel
opment, but It does believe the people
of the Territory know what they want
and are depending on the legislature
to gel it or them. A law may not be
legal until passed upon by the Su_
pre-ne Court of the United States, bul
i! this is the case many a man is in
ja!’ '.legally, being convicted under a
lav rever tested.
PEDIGREED BUNK
"An official of Lltroy, 'McNeill &
Libby, discussing the care the com
pany takes of its employes, declar
ed that every employe engaged is
put through a rapid medical exami
nation before he is permitted to
leave for the North. This means
everybody that goes to the canner
ies, superintendents, bookkeepers,
fishermen, all cannery help, includ
ing Chinese crew.’’—Juneau Empire.

LAWYER RECEIVES MONEY
DUE NEARLY THIRTY YEARS
BELLINGHAM, Dec. 15.—John R.!
Crites, a local attorney, recently re-j
ceived a check for $100. Twenty-nine
years ago he performed a legal serv
vice for which he charged $78. The
bill was never paid. The client who
lives in Eastern Washington, in his
remittance, briefly cited for what the
money was enclosed and added the;
remainder was for interest.
Statisticians in the First division
estimate that the total value of all in
dustrial wealth of that section of Alas
ka will aggregate $59,503,000. This is
slightly more than the Alaska railroad
cost in the Third division, and is less
than the Kennecott Copper company’s
holdings including the Copper River
railroad and the Latouche properties.
It is estimated that the total wealth
in the Third division will aggregate
$400,000,000 including the canneries
and their products.

NO FOREIGN CARDINALS SOON
ROME, Dec. 14.—Pope Pius has de
cided to create no foreign cardinals at
the forthcoming consistory it was said
in a semi-official document. ■=
Miss Alma Guenther, or Cincinnati,
Ohio, was a passenger on the North

BIRMINGHAM, WASH., CHANGES

EVERETT, Wash., Dec. 15.—Bir-I
mingham, a little summer resort at the!
north end of Port Susan and once
known as Port Susan, is now Warm
Beach, by decree of the postoffice de
partment and upon application of its
in habitants. So much of their mail
has gone to Birmingham, Ala., and
other Birmingham’s scattered thru
out the country, that they wanted a
name distinctive and at the same
time descriptive of their community
ITALY CANNOT PAY WAR DEBTS
ROME, Dec. 14.—Signor Schanzer,
former foreign minister, reiterated his
belief that Italy cannot pay her war
debts to the United States.
ATTENTION, DOG OWNERS
My request of recent date in which
I asked dog owners to keep their dogs
tied up, at least a part of the time,
has met with no response. Many
complaints of late in regard to dogs,
makes it necessary lor me to issue or
ders that all dogs must be kept tied
up ALL the time. If the owner has
his or her dog with them then this or
der will be overlooked, if not all dogs
found running loose will be taken up
and a fine of $2 charged for the re
lease of same. This is in accordance
with Ordinance No. 64 of the Town of
Seward and will be strictly enforced
all times from now on, as it seems as
though there is no other way out.
