DOES WEALTH MEAN HAPPINESS]
Arthur Brisbane recalls the inter-r
esting history of “Silver Threads j
Among the Gold,” which is known—in ;
equal part at least—by as many per- ]
sons as in “The Star Spangled Ban
ner.’ Hart Pease Danks lived hap
pily with his wife half a century ago.
The fruits of his poetic affection was
the famous song. Then flowed pros
perity in abundance and—as Brisbane
remarks—when riches came in at the
door peace and harmony flew out at
the window. A separation followed
and subsequently the son and daugh
ter quarreled over the royalties from j
the song and went to law about it. ^
• In 1903 an old man was found dead j
kneeling dead beside a bed in a Phil-,
adelphia rooming house. “It's hard
to die alone,” he had written on a copy
of his famous song.
The old man’s wife, Mrs. Hart Pease
Danks died last week at the age of 82,
in a Brooklyn lodging house, where she
had lived, a lonely and disappointed
old woman.
What a commentary, what irony!
Up to the time they became rich the
Danks were a model married couple.
Riches spoiled their life.
Men and women strive with all the
cosmic urge of humanity for wealth,
power and station, only to find dross
instead of gold at the end of their
rainbow, or if the gold is there it fre
quently means naught but tragedy.
Unknown to millions, the real problem
of the materially successful is to find
happiness in spite of great wealth.
Politics cause some queer scandals.
A few months ago Governor Walton
of Oklahoma, held the limelight of the
front page. A few days ago all the
charges against Walton were dismiss
ed. They received notice only in the
former governor’s own bailiwick. Such
is fame.
Maskans used to mine gold in
falilornia. Now they go there to
spend it.

A Manhattan restaurant man faint- j
ed last week when a Kiplingese bandit |
who wore bobbed hair thrust a pistol i
into his midriff and commanded him |
to open the cash register. And yet |
women are marrying these things and
looking to them for protection.
A Washington news dispatch reads:
“The first day of spring found the
national capital engulfed in a sea of
slush.” We suppose the reference
was to the weather.
Don’t give up hopes. We could tell
you some good news about the pulp
mill and the New England, but what’s
the use.
A young lady ( ?) who stepped
off the Alaska Saturday, exclaimed:
“Ain’t this h-?” probably referring
to the weather. Whereupon a promi
nent citizen who overheard the remark
absentmindedly replied, “No, ma’am;
this is Seward.”
A husband is a person who expects
you to save at least thirty dollars a
week out of the money he didn’t give
you.
Times change. Once dad’s pants
were cut down for Willie; now they
are cut down to make knickers for
Mary.
CUTTER HAIDA IN PORT
The coast guard cutter Haida ar
rived in port from the States, today
making an exceptionally fast trip. She
will take aboard airplane supplies
and pontoons and take them west.
The Haida is a turbo-electric ves
sel of 1600 tons, 240 feet long and is
one of the most modern of the coast
guard cutters. She carries five guns.
Ray 0. Lewis returned from An
chorage on last night’s train. Mrs.
Lewis remained, a guest of Mrs. Mike
Skrivan, and will return home Satur
day.
George Lounsbury arrived Saturday
from _A nchorage to take charge of the
culinary department of the bridge and
building gang, working here.
COMPANY PATENTS
CHANDALAR GROUND
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
Attorney It. F. Roth has received
word from William Sulzer, former
governor of New York, ana who is one
of the digest stockholders in the
Chandalar Gold Mining companf to
proceed with all work necessary to ob
tain a patent to the large quartz hold
ings of the company in the Chandalar
district.
There has been a large amount of
money spent in the development of
this property and from all indications
the prospects are sufficient to justify
all work done and the expenditure of l
further monies to operate these prop- j
cities.
K. C. Ingram, deputy mineral sur- j
veyor, will leave shortly for the Chan
dalar to make th tnecessary suivey> i

RIGHT OF OFFICERS TO
MAKE ARREST UPHELD
SAN FRANCISCO, April 10—The
right of the police officer to make an
arrest for a misdemeanor not commit
ted in his presence, and without war
rant, was upheld by the United Sattes
circuit court of appeals here today in
affirming the conviction of Chester C.
Winkler in Seattle on a charge oi vio
lating the Volstead act.
Kinkier held in his appeal that the
arresting officer did not proceed ac
cording to law, as he made the arrest
an mere suspicion that Winkler was
the culprit. The court held that there
was sufficient evidence behind the sus
picion To justify the arrest.

Child Labor Amendment
to Constitution Approved
WASHINGTON, Apr. 10.—Favor
able report of a resolution proposing' a
child labor amendment to the consti
tution was ordered today by the house
judiciary committee.
The committee approved without
change the resolution introduced by
Represent alive Foster, republican, of
Ohio, and leaders have given assur
ance that the house will vote on the
question at an early date.
Four members of the judiciary com
mittee favored the resolution while
six, among them Chairman Graham,
announced they would oppose it on the
floor. Mr. Foster will lead the f;ght
for the resolution.
The supreme court has twice declar
ed child labor laws unconstitutional.
Representative Graham said that
the attack on the resolution would be
based on the contention that there is
too great a tendency to tamper with
the federal constitution when there
is no pressing need for amendments,
and the belief that regulation of child
labor is. primarily a state function.
DAM DYNAMITED
SPAKANE, Apr. 10.—A concrete
