GUssIE GARDNER AND ALASKA HALIBUT
Seward Gateway


 There are members of Congress like Gardner Of Massachusetts and others who seem to be more favor able to foreign countries than to the United States Gardner actually defeated amendment to the reve- nue bill which would have favored United States ports against Canadian ports for the shipment of Alaska recently examined before committee of Congress to show that he was a stockholder in munitions plant the desire being apparently to that he had leg islative influence in matter in which he was tinan- cially interested He is relative of Senator Lodge by marriage or otherwise and is chip of the same Tory block which American interests have been beheaded since the time of the revolution.
 It is hard for to understand up here how any member of Congress be traitorous enough to try to injure their country for the benefit of an other. Over and over again some member of Con- gress has proposed to give the panhandle of Alaska present to Canada. This would mean giving away the best part of the Alaska coast and separat ing Alaska by hundreds of miles farther from the United States proper It would give our capital away and would actually make Alaska about as far away from the States as Alaska is from Japan. 1t would give hundreds of miles of coast line where the United stations, so why should wonder that members of the United States Congress are found who favor Canadian port for shipping fish from United States waters to United States territory in the East!
 The Alaskans are tired of factions nnd want to remove the cause They for peace and harmony. They realize that not until they pull together will they be able to obtain the help from Congress that they need For their representative to be well n- formed about the needs of Alaska is not enough he must command the respect and attention of the law makers. Wick is such an egotst; so pedantic that is a who would harmonize the people rather than factions among them by insinuations. cusations just for the sake of antagonizing (Hetchikan Progressve-Miner)

beautiful Dido, Queen OF Carthage.
But Virgil was wrong. Dido never
was more set upon one idea than
when Aeneas was in her palace. Her
mind was made up from the start
and she did not change it until after
her hero had left
The truth is, Aeneas was the
tickle thing" He Wavered constant
ly between decisions. He wanted to
continue his journey, still he wanted
to remain with Dido. Uncertainty
ravaged his mind.
Stop at any busy corner and watch
Aeneas and Dido Of today. Many Of
them are walking in opposite direc-
lions. Why do they not collide, in
the confusion of the crowd?
Because, if you viii watch closely,
you will notice Dido walk in almost a
straight line and Aeneas, going the
opposite way, zigzagging around her
and many of her who happen to walk
toward him. To the left; to the
right; to the. nearest open space he
wanders, almost bewildered and fear
ing to collide with Dido.
It is because man is obiging and
respectful to woman, is it? Not by
any means, as many Dido who has
hung to straps in the street car while
an Aeneas. sat comfortably before
her can testify.
The matter is, Aeneas makes up
his mind on the spur Of the moment,
while Dido thinks and reasons, then
decides and then determines. Aeneas
is too impatient to go through that
process.
But Dido has become so used to it
that between thought and determine
ton is as a flash to her. She has
cultivated the habit of determine
ton.
So it is in all walks of Hfe-fn the
office, at home, on the street and in
the public hall. Dido determines,
while Aeneas just decides. That's the

. HOHNE'S ELECTlON.-The cleo
ton of Maclay Hoyne as states at
tOrney indicates that the people Of
Illinois appreciate backbone, nerve
and grit. There was more ticket
splitting for Hoyne than for any
other Democratic candidate. His
election was purely a nOn-partisan
victory.
It was hard slap at the City Hall
crowd. Hoyne carried three Of the
biggest Republican wards, among
them the 25th, which never before
in its history gave a Democrat a ma
joTity.
The prosecution of the arson trust,
the overlapping trust, the clairVoy-
ant trust and the policemen who pro-
tected them evidently pleased the
people. Hoyne's latest and probably
most sensational chapterofhis career
came in his feud with the forces of
Mayor Thompson, his raids on the
City Hall and his indictment of Chief
of Police Healey.
Through his assistant, Ed FIem-
ing, Hoyne issued the following
statement last night: 81 thank the
voters Of Chicago for the confidence
they have shown in me and my work.
1 expect to show the confidence is
merited"
TICKLE MAMIE was Virgil, the
Latin poet, who first called woman

NOTHING TO
BE FEARED
RIGHT AWAY
Says John Schlarb
Manager, Sunset Tel. < Tel.
Co.

Editor The Times:
| am in favor of improving our
conditions generally along these
lines but DO not believe we should
get excited about il.
1t seems to me all this could be
worked out gradually and that
during the next decade We could
bring our efficiency up to where
we would feel reasonably secure
against invasion.
| do not believe that with the
impoverished conditions of the
belligerent nations that We would
have anything to fear from them
in the immediate future; there
fore it would seem that Japan
might be our only source of trou-
BILE in the near future and | can
not avoid the opinion that should
we have any with them the world
would take the view that 1t was
a fight between the white and
yellow nations and all of the 9TH
er white nations would rally to
our support.
With kind personal regards,

What Tt Would Do

This intensive training would
also have a very beneficial effect
upon our citizenship generally in
that II would start the men out
on the right foot, in as much as
having served their country they
would be more loyal and better
citizens than they otherwise
would have been.
Under the present organization
Of the army the enlistment is
from three to five years and fire.
quently we find men re-enlistilg
until they have served p or 80
years, which means they are oc-
cupying places that ought to he
taken by Younger men in need OF
the training when the older SOL
diers are what you might call
entertained" and they become
imbued with the Idea that all
they are good for is a soldiers
life, when as matter of fact II
they had to get out of the army
at the end of a short enlistment
they would make productive, LOYAL
and appreciative citizens of the
country.
Again congratulating YOU upon
the splendid stand you have taken
| am, etc,

SOME OTHER
COMMENTS ON
THE EDITORIAL

Editor The Times:
The editorial on Prepared
ness" in The Times, | have no
hesitation in saying meets my
hearty approval.
Respectfully, etc,
GEO. LEWIS COVER.
Editor The Times:
| think your statements both
comprehensive and significant.
AS the head of the public IL
brary, however, | have taken the
position that my public statements
should all show a neutral attitude
on public questions, as it is the
function of the institution ] rep
resent to throw light on all sides
of all questions; and IL publicly
took either side of any question it
might affect the regard in which
the institution itself is held.
Cordially yours, etc.

simple policy of weak and futile
pacifism.
II was not without foresight
that our political forebears SYM
bolized the American league with
an olive branch In Its right talons
and arrows in its left.
To devise ways and means of
preparedness that shall not de-
stroy our love for and devotion to
international peace, is task that
calls for the best intellectual pow
ers of the nation. Let us not pro-
coed hastily to action.
Hasty action, when the nation
is itself divided, will lead only to
half-hearted and half-effective
compromises.
Let us withdraw from close
minded partisanship of view and
enter upon open-minded thought
and discussion. Then we shall
soon bring ourselves to one mind
where we can see our needs
through to decisive and complete
arrangements.
Half Step Fatal
Once we see the need of ade-
quate preparedness, we shall be
wise If we separate the tempta-
tons of large profit from the de-
sire for war. If the government
takes over the making of NUM-
tons, it must do il with full sci
entific and practical efficiency. A
half step would merely betray us
into weakness. 1t would kill pri-
vate resources without substitute
ing adequate governmental effect
iveness.
In this and every other respect,
we must measure the result of
each step we project toward pre-
paredness.
We must not be caught by mere
seeming to be prepared, any more
than We can finally be caught
thoroughly prepared to defend a
nation in due process grown
Grass, brutal, militaristic, and I'M
worthy of defense.
Every step must be measured
by our double desire to remain
humane and democratic against
temptation from within and
strong and devoted against
threats from without.

1T Is CRUCIAL
PROBLEM FOR
u. s. TO SOLVE
Says Henry Suzzallo
President, University of
Washington.

Editor The Times:
believe in military prepared
ness for this nation as a practical
necessity. 1t is a crucial problem
for the American people, as cru
cial as humanity's need to evolve
q means of achieving everlasting
peace among the nations of the
earth.
We must keep the political in
situations of our national life in
tact If our big human idealism is
to do its work in the world. AS
long as other nations confront
us with lower ethical doctrines,
that permit them to. destroy sys-
tens of finer values, We must
stand ready to face them with the
stern powers of self-defense.
We cannot prepare for the best
that we would accomplish with
out preparing for the worst that
may befall us.

u. S. SHOULD
MAKE OWN
MUNITIONS
Says J. w. Slayden
Chairman, County Commits
siOners.

Editor The Times:
] think every serious minded
and deep thinking American must
agree with The Times in it's cham
piOnship of the cause of national
preparedness. Personally, | am a
firm believer in preparedness, and
have been since the beginning of
the great European war.
Looking at the situation from
a business viewpoint, we are alb
solutely and unqualifiedly unpre-
pared. No man should go into
business without first being pre-
pared, and if he did his business
venture would be failure, just
as this country would be II we
were called upon to go to war
with some first-class power in our
present condition.

TacOInanS Discuss Preparedness

Surprising our country should
go to war with a power that had
so many of their own people as
our soldiers; what would be the
result? While l realize that we
are all foreigners only a few gen.
erations back, 1t is different
from being born In another coun-
try; living in this country and
having to fight his mother coun-
try.
| firmly believe every boy
should have military training in
our schools fer at least three
years. Let us have more soldiers,
more battleships, a larger aero
plane fleet. and last, but not least,
more loyal Americans that have
more respect for our grand old
flag; more people to sing "My
Country TITS of Thee" with their
whole soul and spirit.

HEALS SKIN DISEASES

1t is unnecessary for you to suf-
fer with eczema, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little
zemo. gotten at any drug store
for Csc, or LOO for extra large
bottle, and promptly applied will
usually give instant relief from
itching torture. 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly
and effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful disappear
ing liquid and does not smart the
most delicate skin. 1t is not
greasy, is easily applied and costs
little. Get it today and save all
further distress.

Would Save Lives

This republic would be a rich
prize for other nations IL they
would combine against us; for ma
lions that are fighting against
each other today, might fight to-
gether tomorrow.
Therefore | feel that we should
be prepared. Preparing for war
is only preparing TO KEEP
PEACE. By being prepared we
would save our country from more
indignities, which we now have to
bear, and save the lives of thous-
ands upon thousands of our best
and most loyal citizens. BY all
means let us be prepared.
Yours sincerely, etc.,

p. ST. wish to congratulate
The Times on the large amount of
material its columns constantly
contain of an economical, socio-
logical and political nature for the
use of students. This material is
especially rich along the line of the
labor problem, which may be
rightly regarded as the greatest
social problem before the world
today, the problem of how to re-
quite to the toiler the just reward
of his toll.

Means Reorganization

/ wish all the papers of the
country would advocate real
preparedness" as you have done,
which would result in every able
bodied man at some time or 9TH
er receiving a year or two of
training with the eOlors in the
United States Army at the very
nominal pay, so that the main eX-
pense of the country would be
their board. clothing and shelter.
The above condition can only
be brought about by a re-organi-
cation of the army, using short
term of enlistment, which would
mean that after a year or two the
men would be mustered into the
first, second or third line of re-
serves, during which period they
could again resume their usual
avoc9tions in life.
Under the above system we
would get away from the enor-
nous pension roll as all the men
in actual service with the colors
would be young and in no condi-
ti0n to apply for pensions, unless
disabled in actual service.
