nOunced by the windmills. When. for
instance, miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arms Of the wheel In

likewise with their mills in celebration
of the ceremony. To announce birth
the wheel is stopped with the arms
In Il slanting position, but at n more
acute angle than for a marriage and
with the two upper sails unfured. In
the event IF miller's death his fami-

until the arms assume an upright cross
In which position they are left until
after the funeral has taken place.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The following paragraph taken from Governor Strong's message to the legislature should be and proba- bly, is. endorsed by every. citizen of Alaska.
 The members of the legislature of Alaska can render no greater service to the territory than by holding the new laws to actual necessities. Many states and territories have been and are so overburdered with law that it becomes a national handicap"
 The governor covers the situation thoroughly in few words. For some unknown reason, 1t has been proved that give peope, the power to make laws and they, or their representa- tlves, appear to think it mandatory on them to enact legislation on every subject under the sun. Laws are daily placed on the statute books that are not now, and never will be, bene- ficial to anyone unless it is to aid lawyers in the struggle to live.
 Alaska is handicapped in enough other ways without placing a lot of freak laws in her code, the majority of which will never be needed, and probably not enforced after their passagd The governor knows full we'll the disadvantage of having ill., timed legislation 10 contend with, and has done no more than his duty In his request to the legislature not to pass such measures as the people have asked for, and forget the rest of them. The legislature will do well to comply with the suggestion.
 It is to be regretted that the mes- sage did not include a specific rec ommendation for an appropriation for the Alaska agricultural college and school of mines. The national government has made as much pro- vision as it can, and it is HOW up to the territorial government to keep the ball rolling The need for such m institution is urgent, and every year it's establishment is postponed adds
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-04-21

that much more to the handicap un- der which the youth of the territory are now striving to gain such knowl- edge as will give them equal footing and opportunity with those in the states.
 There is not much doubt that a bill will be introduced m the legislature to provide funds to establish an in- stitutioa. and it is to be hoped that it will pass without opposition, and that every citizen of the territory will put himself behind the school in order to make it the force for good that otherwise 1t will not be. The legis- lature has the power to enact such legislation, and the territory has or can get the money to provide for all schools. Citizen

The Stars and Stripes of the United States flying proudly to the breeze over the British houses of parliament yesterday rolls back the years and causes one to reflect.
 Under that very same roof one hundred and forty-tw years ago William Pitt, Earl of Chatham. in defense of American co,onists, made a speech which is carried down in his- tory
 Carried from a sick bed to the house of lords and being hardly able to stand up Pitt declared himself in part as follows:
 As l have not the honor of access to his majesty, will endeavor to transmit to him, through the con- stitutional channels of this house, my ideas of America, to rescue him from the misadvice of his present minis ters.
 ''' = NpiAANllN AAOL lOl but justice to America; and I shall ever contend that the Americans just owe obedience to us in a limited de- gree-they owe obedience to our ordI- nances of trade and 1avigation; but let the line be skilfully drawn be- tween the objects of those ordinances and their private, internal property; let the sacredness of their property remain invlolate; let it be taxable only by their own consent, given in their provincial assemblies, else it WIFI cease to be property. .... Re- sistance to your acts was necessary, as 1t was just; and your vain decla- fatlons...... ...and your imperious doctrines will be found equally impo- tent to convince. or to enslaye your fellow subjects in America, who feel that tyranny, whether ambitioned by an individual part of the legislature, or the bodies who comprise it, is equally tntolerab,e to British subs jecta

FORCE CAN NEVER ENFORCE
 PEACE.

The principle of preparedness. fol | peace has been widely discussed ir the press and on platforms through out America. Several other neutral
 nations have given the matter earnest ] thought, and the attention of the
 world was drawn to the subject when l it was made the burden of the presi- ! dents memorable message to the Uni- ted States senate. But if be,ligerents as well as neutrals, and m1litarists as well as pacifists hvae recognized that the question of world peace is too important to be left solely to such hurried consideration as might be given if a victorious army were to dictate the terms, there are yet the widest differences of opinion as to the particular means by which the concord of nations can be made perm anent
 It is still the belief of this paper lil'tl S'HtIell dlSdlilldiiieHI lS lle oHls solid foundation of international amity; and that the perpetuation of naval and military preparedness means the perpetuation not only of the possibilities, but also of the temptations to discord.
 The professional navalists and mil itarists, and also those cave men who masquerade as modern civilized. hu- man beings, may never be converted from their supesrtitious faith in force as reliable Instrument of international justice. The processes of evolution have yet to eliminate all of the ape and tiger from the race. Long centuries of warlike habits have left lagacy of force- worship in many who never realize how near is their cast of thought to that of the primitive, club yielding savage.
 Then there are others who, whi,e they want universal and permanent peace, yet think that it can be secured by a readjustment in the control of force. Their mental picture of the ideal state is blurred by visions of international navies, armies and po- ice standing guard. In theri opinion

the soldier could be transformed into "a humanitarian agent by the magic of change in the stamp on his brass
 buttons.
 | They are the compromisers in a situation which admits of ao com
 promise if the purpose sought is the ! enduring peace of all mankind They have formed themselves into a league to enforce peace and one ! of their objects is the creation of what they sometimes call an inter- national police, an organization of navies and armies recruited from each of the powers and controlled by ] representative council.
 Much of the misconception at the back of this theory is based upon false analogy and a complete mis- understanding of the part played by l the police in the maintenance of or der. They imagine that communities operate peacefully because of the power of the police, whereas they are peaceful not in orderhnes in public opinoin. But for that opinion the law 1 less element in any community would have no difficulty in combining to overthrow the police. They are peace full and because of that fact do not carry arms-if they did they would not be peaceful, communities and no police could restrain them.
 It is the same with nations, which are but aggregations of communities.
 No police could restrain them if they were not peaceful, and the best proof they can furnish of the fact is the abandonment of their armaments.
 The existence of an international police would assume the existence of criminal nations. And these criminal nations would be represented on the council chosen to watch them. A perfect picture of such a council would be a congress of assassins each armed Wlln DOHnD, knlIe ana plSloi and ,discussing the best means of suppressing assassination.
 We would not think of handing the care of community over to a body on which professional criminals were directly represented, yet that would be precisely the position if represen- tation on the council of international police were given to nations still re- taining armaments. And if no na- tion retained it's weapons of offense, what need would there be for an arm cd international police?
 The thug who promises to reform must begin by throwing away his weapons. and so must the nations that promise to keep the peace. The burglar gives no guarantee of good behavior If he asks to retain his kit.
 Peace in whatever form it may come is better than war, but there is the peace based upon the shifting sands of naval and military prepar- edness and that built upon the rock of disarmament.-San Francisco Call
