One of the first observations of strangers visiting Valdez is that this is a city of homes. Accord ing to population there are more families here than in any town in Alaska. This is the great secret Of Valdez pcrmanency and ability to withstand diversity. No little disappointment was experienced in certain circles when it was found they could not obtain the endorsement of the Socialist party. But some people have so much to learn that there remains but little hope of their ever graduating.

NEW REAL ESTATE FIRM

Thompson & Schoenecke-a new
real estate firm, thank you, COM
posed of Richelieu Thompson, OF
which brief mention was made two
weeks since, and j. F. Schoenecke,
for some years a resident of Noun
tain Home, formerly Missourian
and resident of the same town as
his partner in that celebrated state
where mules ar muller, corn CORNER
and mud muddier than across the
border in any direction or distance.
/ ersonally we do not care to be,
but we are prepared to declare and
prove that Schoenecke could not,
can not, and will not, however dill
gently he labors, succeed in showing
himself to be homlier than the old
skate now his partner. One OF the
shining features which discovers Mr..
Schoenecke in any gathering
is head, surmounting pair
# broad shoulders, which reflects
all the lights and shades of
his environment. Who taE tell the
color of Schoeneckes hair would
solve a problem of great Concern to
that gentleman's immediate are in
quiring friends, who can not recall
ever having known that shining dome
clothed in any color or quantity OF
thatch. Nevertheless, therefore and
however, beneath the polished sur
lace of this shining beacon burns a
restless, busy and throbbing intellect,
whose impulses propel the wearer
in perfectly proper and honorable
courses, whose activities are direct
ed in clean and moral effort and
whose design is to further his own
ends by none but strictly honest and
upright means all of which spells
the kind and quality of citizenship
which can not too frequently rise to
the surface of the flood of the CON-
mercial strife of today.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
DEFEATED AT BOISE
Mountain Home Debaters Put Up
Valiant Fight but Lose Decision
Unfair Scoring is Charged.

The Mountain Home High School
affirmative debating team consisting
of John Chattin, Leo Spring and Lail
AXE debated with the Boise mega
tive team consisting of Chas Brooks,
VIM. Balderston, Robt. Nourse, on
Saturday, evening, February nth
The judges were Attorney E. M.
Wolfe. of Mountain Home, Mr.. Nc
Cready Sykes of Boise and Mr.
Haymer of the College OF Idaho at
Caldwell. The rules were as follows:
Argument seventy per cent, compost
tion, fifteen per cent and delivery fiji
teen per cent.
AS the debate progressed, T. was
evident to all present that the visit
ing team had the best Of IT,. The
home team confessed this themselves,
but when the decision was handed to
the chairman the Boise team was ac-
credited the victory.
1t is charged that one Of the judges
manipulated his scoring in order to
bring the result out the way he de-
sired it. 1t is also statet that at
first, Superintendent Rose admitted
that the decision was unfair and af-
.terwards switched around.
If this is so, it is certainly repre-
lhensible, if victory in debate is to
be decided by manipulation OF judges
lit is too degrading an exercise to be
iindulged in by institutions laying
claim to honor and respectability.
1t would appear to the writer that
one good way of settling the present
difficulty would be to lay the written
parts before honorable and impartial
Judges who would be competent to
decide as to argument and compost
tion at least or, let the teams meet
again. However this may be done,
let us lift all matters connected with
the schools to plane away above
even suspicion.
On Saturday, February Gath, our
high school met in debate team
from Nampa high school consisting
of Miss Nora Ashton, Raymond Pit
tenger and John Pipher and question:
'"Eesolved, That immigration should
be further restricted to reading and
writing test
The home team consisting Of Nellie
TDowner, Frank Ottenheimer and EN-
!mett O'Neil took the negative and
won out in manner which reflect
ed great credit upon themselves and
their instructors.

The Presidency Not Spells.

In Difference to Mr.. Bryan's wishes
the Democratic platform declared for
a single presidential term. Now Mr.
Bryan is predicting that before the
next election the states will be ratify7
Ing constitutional amendment" to
this effect.
Hardly. II Mr.. Wilson makes good
as president his party surely will not
be so foolish as to wish to displace
him with an untried politician The
presidential Office is not pie" to be-
passed around. 1t is a magnificent OPP
portunity for public service. To turn
put competent public servant in the
very midst of his activity is not a pro-
posal that will appeal to American
common sense.
Mr.. Bryan seems to regard the presi-
iency as a piece of political spells. As
there isn't enough of it to go round,
ae would limit the term OF its possess
sion. To such theory the nation can
not agree.
