THE DEAD STATESMEN
Within a few weeks the United States has lost by
death three statesmen of unusual ability and prom
inence—Senator Burton of Ohio, Secretary of War
Good, and Senator Warren of Wyoming.
Mr. Burton represented Ohio in Congress for many
years, both in the House and in the Senate, during which
time he labored with conspicuous success for the devel
opment of the nation’s inland waterways, and was es
pecially well versed in monetary matters and foreign af
fairs. He was in his 78th year at the time of his death.
Secretary Good was a native of Iowa and served
his home district in Congress from 1909 to 1929, rising
to the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations.
He resigned from Congress to practice law in Chicago
until his appointment as Secretary of War by President
Hoover, in whose campaign he had taken a prominent
part. Mr. Good was an organizer of great ability, and an
able politician in the best sense of the term. He died at 63.
Senator Warren had served longer in the United
States Senate than any other man in the history of the
nation, lacking only a few weeks of 37 years. He was
chairman of the Senate committee on appropriations and
member o fthe military and public buildings committees.
He was the first state governor of Wyoming, having
served as territorial governor prior to its admission as
a state. He was a Civil War veteran, and had won the
Congressional medal for gallantry in battle. Before his
death at the age of 85, Senator Warren was the oldest
member of either branch of Congress.
Across the seas two other great figures have re
cently passed from the earthly scene, T. P. “Tay Pay”
O’Connor, “father of the House of Commons,” in Eng
land, aged 81, and Georges Clemenceau, “the Tiger of
•France,” who was 88.
The world will sadly miss and long remember these
distinguished dead.
A MILLION FOR ALASKA VETERANS
Legislation permitting more than 3,000,000 world
war veterans to cash their adjusted service certificates,
proposed in a bill to be presented at the present session
of Congress, would obviate cause for economic emer
gency for years to come, according to Representative
Patman of Texas.
Bringing this statement home, or to Alaska, as to
what it would mean to the Territory, it is thought there
are about 1,000 veterans in Alaska; on an average of
$1,000 each, $1,000,000 would be released in Alaska.
Here, in Seward, and along the Alaska Railroad belt,
veterans are engaged in every line of endeavor, fishing,
homesteading, fur farming, prospecting, mining, avia
ton, homebuilding, small business of all kinds, liquidating
old debts, purchasing supplies, equipment and various
other activities. Hundreds of thousands of dollars would
fee released in this immediate area, should Representative
Patman's bill pass, and Alaska veterans cash in on their
adjusted service certificates.
A book entitled “Etiquette of the Ballroom,” pub
lished in London in 1860, contains some suggestions
which are in part applicable even in the present day,
among them being this: “The practice of chewing to
bacco and spitting on the floor is not only nauseous to
lames but injurious to their gowns." Of course, the
gowns would not necessarily suffer nowadays.
The seal of an ancient Sumerian king, recently un
earthed, portrayed man-headed bulls and bull-headed
men. Only the latter species has survived the ages.
Psychiatrists are clever. They have discovered that
when a fellow does something wrong there is something
wrong with him.
Few are so deaf as to miss a whisper of scandal.

Ten turkeys bit the dust yes
terday the result of the unerring
marksmenship of Seward Daniel
Boones’, David Crockett, or maybe
I some other oldtimer’s name. In
|any case yesterday’s Turkey Shoot
at the baseball park, staged un
der the management of Seifert &
Douglas, two young local live
wires and outdoor sportsmen,
was a grand success from the
: first to last shot.
! The first offensive began at
“ack emma”, 10:30 a. m. with Bo
lnrn. Hubsmith. Bloom. Robbins,
Kielcheski and Lucas, going ove
the top; Robbins won the first
turkev with a score of 13 points
at 100 yards, off-hand shooting,
j On the second shoot of 100
Robbins, and Hubsmith
tied. On the one shot to decide
the winner Robbins made four
noints as also did Hudsmith. Again
these two crack-shots toed the
m^rk with Robbins making a
buhs-eve and Hubsmith, a four.
On the third shoot, at 100 yr., |
shooting free style or from any
position, Kielcheiske, Dryer and
Robbins tied with 15 points eachfj
To dee'de their t»e e<*eh man took
one shot; Kielcheiski made a !
bulls-eye; Dryer a four, and Rob- j
bins a buils-eve. The latter and |
Kielcheiski each took one shot!
to decide this both making bulls
ev^s, so it was decided to meas- j
ure that shot that was the clo- !
sest to center. Kielcheiski won [
| the baloney.
On the third shoot, at mo vards, j
at any position. Jack Hudsmith j
won the laurels with the high;
snore of 13 points. This was the !
best shooting of the day at 200
yards.
The 5th event was at 100 yards 1
from any position and was won!
bv Alex Bolom after shooting off I
with Hudsmith. John Drver, Rob- I
bins and Kielchieski. Each man ;
had a tie with three bullseves. !
Each shot once on the tie Bolom
piercing dead center.
The 6th shoot was won by
Hudsmith at 100 yards. This was
also decided by a tie between I
former put out the bullseye.
The 7th, event was won by
Bolom at 100 yards, off-bond.
He made three bulls-eyes making
the high score of 15, the best
shooting of the day at 100 yards.
Bloom wron the 8th turkey at
200 yards, any style, with the
high score of 12 points.
Hudsmith brought home the i
bacon on the 9th shoot at 600
yards. He shot off a tie with one
of the other crack shots to win
the birdie, and he smacked the
target sqaure in the eye.
On the 10th and last shoot j
of the day a “dark horse” who
had been standing around all
day, toed the mark, plunked
down a dollar and drew his num
ber for place. He shot last and
walked off with the turkey; his
high score was 13. The gentle
man referred too is that king
of guides and prince of good
fellows, Henry Lucas.
