WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
With no desire to disparage or in
criminate the rising generation, even
the most casual friendly observer
cannot fail to be surprised, then amaz
ed, and possibly shocked at the rapid
ity of the life of the boys and girls of
today. The jazz age is the term cur
rently used to describe it. Much that
is very sensational is written on the
subject, often to little profit, in our
opinion. The majority of the young
people of school and college age are
still wholesome and healthy minded,
frank and courageous, though sophis
ticated to a degree that renders their
elders speechless with astonishment,
but withal having ideals of usefulness
and service, and a practical way of
looking at life which is most promis
ing. But the appalling list of youth
ful crimes and tragedies, the apparent
disregard for law or restraint of any
kind, are facts that the world is fac
ing now, realizing that here is a prob
lem indeeel—not to be solved by any
easy methods. Read the articles that
are appearing month after month in
the leading reviews and magazines,
and see how the heart of the nation
is troubled, and how business men
and teachers, as well as churchmen
of all denominations are asking:
“What can be do to stem to the tide
of lawlessness and worldliness that is
threatening the nation's life.”
Prof. M. V. O'Shea, dean of the Col
lege of Education, University of Wis
consin, speaking on the “Jazz Age”
before the Cincinnati Woman’s Club
recently, describes it as an age in
which every interest is pitched to the
highest key, with constant overwrot
nervous excitation, and this, with the
tremendously rapid pace, is exhaust
ing the poise and balance of the
American youth. What adults can en
dure without harm to themselves or
the community has a deadly effect on
the young people.
Prof. O’Shea points out that those
nations among whom youth early be
comes sophisticated, indocile and
blase, are never prosperous and begin
to decline. Some of the* causes of this
attitude of mind are found in the
changing character of our national life
which has been almost completely
transformed in the last twenty years.
Prof. O’Shea says: “The speed of
modern transportation, the noise of
modern inventions and equipment, the
subtlety of the modern dance, and the
emotional appeal of the moving pic
ture, have stirred the emotions to
such a high pitch that standard edu
cation and social conventions are too
tame to arouse the interest and co-op
eration of the boy and girl of today.
“Since the allurements of immediate
emotional stimulus, operated for com
mercial gain, have so decidedly weak
ened the home ties and influence, a
constructive community program must
be built up to resist the seductions of
the world toward modern youth.”
> All these things mentioned by Prof.
O'Shea are primary reasons why this
may be called the jazz age. But we
may not shirk responsibility by shift
ing it onto the times in which w’e live.
Somewhere there is an individual re
sponsibility, and until we wake up and
acknowledge it we shall not be able
to amend the conditions now so de
plorable.—Exchange.

PORTLAND MISS
SPRAINS ANGLE
HIKING KODIAK
Miss Cull, of Portland, Oregon, a
round trip passenger on the Admiral
Evans, which arrived in port this
morning from the westward, had the
misfortune to severely sprain her an
kle while out hiking last Sunday near
Kodiak. Dr. Johanes, of Chicago, a
fellow passenger on the vessel, kindly
rendered aid to the young lady with
the result that upon her arrival in
Seward she was able to move about
by herself for the first time.
Cordova Post American
Legion Arouesd By
Action Dry Offiers
Drastic resolutions demanding the
removal of H. G. Cloes, deputy mar
shal at Cordova, and D. W. Flannagan,
a prohibition officer, were passed at
a recent meeting of John W. Jones
Post, American Legion at a recent
meeting.
The resolutions cite that one of the
principal sources of revenues is the
giving of monthly dances in the town
of Cordova, and that these dances
have been conducted in an orderly
manner and with the utmost decorum,
and have met with the approval and
patronage of the people of Cordova
for the past three years, during which
time there has been no disturbances,
disorder or any complaint made as to
the conduct of the dances.
On the night of the 3rd of July the
Post gave one of its usual dances, and
as the festivities were progressing in
an orderly and decorous manner, at
the hour of 11:30 o’clock during the
progress of the dance, H. G. Cloes,
the said deputy marshal, and D. W.
Flannagan the prohibition officer,
without warrant or due process of law
entered the Legion hall and searched
various and numerous overcoats of
the patrons of the dance, without be
ing so authorized, and arrested some
of the patrons of the dance illegally,
and without justification confined at
least one of the patrons in jail for
several hours and then released him
without preferring any charge.
At the time Deputy Marshal Cloes
openly stated in the present of many
witnesses, “that the dances given by
the Legion were nothing but booze
parties and that he intended to get
out injunction proceedings and abate
the premises occupied by the Ameri
can Legion in Cordova as a nuisance.”
Alleging in view of the above that
the said deputy marshal and prohi
bition officer are not fit to act as
public officers, the Post is demanding
their removal, and pressure will be
brought to bear upon Marshal Sulli
van to see that this is done.
The affair has caused intense indig
nation among the citizens of Cordova
and national authorities are being ap
pealed to.
Prominent Delegates Will
Reach Seward on Yukon;
Will Speak Local Church
Rev. R. V. b. Dunlap of the local
church received a letter on the last
boat stating that 25 Delegates from
the Thirtieth Inter-National Christian
Endeavor Convention, held in Port
land, Oregon, July 4 to 9, would reach
this city on the steamship Yukon July
18. Some of the prominent speakers
accompanying the party are Dr. Fran
cis E. Clark, the founder of Christian
Endeavor; Gov. Gifford Pinchot, of
Pennsylvania; Daniel Poling, pastor
of the Marble Collegiate Church, New
York City, and Wm. Hiram Foulkes,
for five years general secretary of the
New Era movement of the Presbyte
rian Church.
These Delegates will hold a special
service at the Methodist Church Sat
urday night, some of them remaining
over and speaking at the Sunday ser
vices.
The party will go to the interior as
far as Fairbanks, and returning will
leave Seward on the Northwestern,
Sunday afternoon, July 26.
W. E. Moultray, in charge of Al
aska stations and plants for the
Standard Oil Company, returned to
Seward last evening on the Admiral
Evans, from a business trip to the
Westward.

MUSIC ON EVANS
MAKES BIG HIT
WITH TOURISTS
THREE-PIECE ORCHESTRA, RE
CENTLY ADDED TO SHIP;
POPULAR INNOVATION.
DANCING ON DECK OF VESSEL
Officers of the Vessel Receive Con
gratulations from Tourists for
Wonderful Trip.
The recent innovation by the Pa
cific Steamship company of orches
tras on its Alaskan vessels, especial
ly on the Admiral Evans which ar
rived in Seward this morning from
the Westward and which sails this
evening for Seattle, has taken the
passengers by storm, proving to be
the most popular movement for th'e
benefit of its passengers made in re
cent years. Imagine the feelings of
the citizens to the Westward, await
ing on the docks, the incoming ves
sel, from whence real harmony floats
out over the water to the ears of
those ashore? And when the vessel,
as she pulls out from the dock, the
soft strains of a dreamy melody, bid
ding them, as it were, good-bye.
The fact remains the passengers
aboard the Admiral Evans were
unanimous in pronouncing they never
had so much fun in all their lives
and that the music was the “life of
the party.” At Kodiak there was
nothing else to do but that the or
chestra from the vessel must go
ashore and play for a dance*. At
Alitak this was repeated. A big
dance was also held at Seldovia, and
last evening in Seward, shortly af
ter the arrival of the boat, the or
chestra and many of the tourists,
attended the Odd Fellows dance,
which was in progress.
The three-piece orchestra, of three
clean-cut college youths, namely
Ralph Quarles, leader and violinist;
Wynn Griffin, saxophone; Frank
Farmer, piano and banjo, play daily
concerts of one and one-half hour
length each, in the afternoon and in
the eveing. The orchestra is also
heard in the dining room while meals
are being served, adding greatly
to the general enjoyment and nov
elty of the cruise. The first stroke
on the violin is the general signal
for. the passengers on the vessel to
! flock to the social hall, to some sun
ny spot on deck or aft on the boat
deck where under a large canvas
canopy, a commodious dancing floor
has been arranged. Under a bevy
of brightly colored electric lights,
“real” moonlight dances are of par
ticular enjoyment, during the early
evening hours. The tinkling of the
string instruments, the twinkling
feet of the dancing couples, create
an atmosphere on board ship which
the fortunate travelers will ever re
call.
Tourists On Evans
Have a Good Time
As usual, during the trip to the
westward of the Admiral Evans, the
passengers and tourists were afforded
the opportunity of making many side
trips during the visits at various
ports. Fishing was indulged in by the
sportsmen, while hiking occupied the
attention of others, and in general all
were kept busily occupied taking in
the interest points.
Mrs. Mary Morrison of Anchorage,
is a business visitor in Seward hav
ing arrived in town from the Inlet
two days ago.
H. G. Ilderton, general agent for
the Alaska Railroad, in Seward for
a number of days on business, de
parted for his Anchorage headquar
ters yesterday morning.
The fish are running strong at Ali
tak and at Uganik, with the canner
ies operating to capacity, according
to Seward arrivals last evening on
the Admiral Evans.
