Prof. and MrsS F Howard Entertain
the School Board and their Wives,

: Last Friday evening, in their
beautiful home, Prof. and Ms S
F Howard, assisted by Mr. and
Mrs Doan Moss, entertained the
board of school trustees and their
wives with an informal dinner.
AS evidence of the genial good
fellowship, each invited guest was
present in the best of good humor.
When the call to dinner was an
nounced the party was led by Mrs
Howard into the dining room
where, on a beautifully decorated
table, covers were laid for four
teen. During an exchange of
Wit and mu:h mcrriment, sump-
tous four course dinner was served.
All of the seasons dainties-in
fact, everything good to eat, pre-
pared in the most appetizing man
ner, was included in the menu.
Each course, from grapefruit to
ambrosia, showed the touch of
master hand in the culinary art.
After dinner the guests return
ing to the library and forgetting
for the time that they were staid
grown ups played, with keen
relish, amid gales of laughter, the
games of their youth. A basket
of delicious homemade candy, a
gift from the teachers to Prof. and
Mrs Howard, arrived in the midst
of the fun and added a sweetened
joy.
To the fortunate guests the
event seemed perfect in every de-
tail and will long be remembered
as an evening of unalloyed pie as
ure. x

POLITICIAN AND VOTER.

And now the politicians al- among Us with their handshahes, their way ing oG old Glory, their promises Iot the future and their own 9poUess records The ordinary man in the street is up against il, Tor he haa very little real dope on the candi dates. This is particularly the con dition oI Alaska, where the canal dates are often so far away from the voters in point of distance that il is almost impossible to form a cor rect estimate of the candidate.
 The matter is complicated some what by the nonpartisan form oi the ballot. While that type of voting has the best features, yet in this Ie- spect it falls down. some method should be devised SO that the voter might get d line on the candidates that would come from d nOn-parlisau standpoint The politicians may tell the truth, but the voter is very like ly to look upon that information as prejudiced merely because it comes from partisan viewpoint

PREPAREDNESS. p

On Saturday d German submarine slipped into the harboT of Newport, Rhode Island. Her departure from Europe was not generally known, nor was it suspicioned that German submarine was anywhere near the Atlantic coast of the United States until she rose to the surface in New port harbor. Yesterday, according to the press reports, this same subma- rine torpedoed two British vessels within fifty miles of the shores of America.
 Was ever there d better argument offered for preparedness, not ln words, but in the shape of deeds, than the arrival of the German sub marine on our shores and her subse- quent actions? IL would appear not. For, although preparedness skeptics may say her appearance in the Wa ters of America IS a mere matter of the Haunting of German subma- rine power before the eyes of the people of the United States, the fact remains that the submarine crossed the Atlantic ocean unknown to an, nation or nations, and that she drop ped anchor in the harbor of Newport without the knowledge of the entire naval power of the United States.
 These, of course, are peaceful times as far as the United States is c,n- cerned. Which may account, in part, for the fact that the submarine slip ped by any lookout there may have been. But. nevertheless, the incident shows the ease with which suDma rines now cross the Atlantic and the facility with which they approach our shores entirely unheralded.
 The arrival of the submarine here will undoubtedly have the effect of supplying good Democratic campaign propagan nda For it has now been amply proven that preparedness, in a naval way, is absolutely essential to the safety and welfare of the coun- try. whether in time of peace or war.
