Interesting to motorists, and not less so to pedestrians, is the problem of enforcing the new law requiring examinations for all opera tors of motor vehicles in New York City to determine their fitness to drive a machine, which an unfit driver promptly converts into menace to other persons. New York; being the largest city in America, the definite fit ness of the operator is perhaps more important there than elsewhere, but the idea of such ex- animation for whoever drives car has often been suggested A road test for individuals seems out of the question in a town where the operators now number about 100000 Representatives of the law and of the auto mobile organizations are, therefore, working out the long list of questions which shall cross examine the operator and be reasonably sub stantiated by other witnesses. Not in all cases will it be easy to get at the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, but anything that moves toward elimination of the reckless or unfit motorist moves in the right direction.

PROMISING PROSPECTS

The Citizen congratuIates the Alaska Chapter of the American Mining Congress on the board of directors it chose last Thursday evening and the officers which it elected. Without exception they are progressive and have a knowledge of interior mining cond1- tons and resources which, reinforced by a genuine interest in the mining industry, prom ises well for the activity of the chapter during the terms for which they were elected.
 The mining organization is wide awake concern and is affiliated with the national as sociation which has considerable infue,se thruout the country. It has a vast field for work right here in this vicinity. Its member ship reaches over a considerable section of the interior and comprises large percentage of practical mining men. Such men do not chase the will O the Wisp, but go after the real things which will be directly beneficial to the mining industry,
 The main work of the chapter this year will probably be ccntercd on the cheap power project A campaign has already been launched to secure government aid ln this matter and with increasing membership, the fight will be waged with cver-groWing strength
 It is expected that this project will find considerable opposition. The matter of seCur- ing federal appropriations is not going to be any easy task for some time. All kinds of objections will be raised in congress and they must be met and overcome. The chapter is as fully aware of this as anyone and is making its preparations accordingly. In its fight it needs the assistance of everyone interested in the future of the interior mining game.
 The argument for a government power plant is a good one and is based on sound reasoning drawn from solid facts. With the present Wide-aWakc bunch of directors and of- ficers, the chances for ultimate success are eX- cellent, but they need all the support they can get.

WANTS BURLESON
 TO BE REMOVED

SEATTLE, July 5.-(P)-Chairman Cummings of the democratic national committee, has received large mum, Der of petitions calling for the remov- al of Postmaster General Albert s. Burleson. He will make no comment on the petitions whatever. MT Cum mings pRedicts great democratic victory in the coming election, stating he feels confident the democratic par ty has been greatly strengthened by the Presidents administration during he past few years.
 Chairman Cummings arrived here a few days ago and attended ban quet given by the democratic club on his first night in town After hold, ing a series of conferences with the party leaders here he plans to proceed southward along the coast.

WORK IN HARMONY

It is plainly apparent from the attitude being shown by congress toward requests for appropriations that the coming two years will find many such petitions ignored and many needed appropriations will be passed by, ''for the sake of economy" It is going to take some good work by everybody if Alaskan pro- jects get the money they need and must have if they are to be worked efficiently.
 We have just had two important appro- priations cut down to the very minimum. The railroad got hit hard and the Alaska Road commissions money was reduced from S3OO- GOO to only SlOOOOO for the present fiscal year.
 Both of these appropriations were need- ed badly by the territory. The North needs the railroad and is equally in need of more adequate wagon roads The future prosperity of the one is largely dependent on the expan- sion of the other.
 In the past, if we have not been indiffer- ent to getting the money, at least we have not made any special efforts to help get it. There has been regrettabe tendency to let those bodies which are charged with handling the funds do all the asking and work in securing the appropriations And it has occasionally gone even further than this when the former Alaskan delegate to congress, MT. Wicker sham, has actually attacked those asking for the money in such fashion as to create an- tagonism to their requests
 The Citizen believes that such fights are ill-timed. It is convinced that it is but com mon sense to work for those things which Il. know that the more money there is provided for Alaskan projects, the more benefit will be obtained here, not alone in the increased ex- penditures but also in the greater area of ter rtory which will be opened thereby.

TIFF. PRICE OF PEACE
(Bv Dr. Frank Crane. )


 You cannot eat your cake and have 1t too.
 And if you want anything you must be willing to pay for it.
 These are aNioms good many people are losing sight of. They want something, yet they balk at the price
 What we want is Peace We want war with its waste, destruction and murder to stop. We want to get back to business. to sit in quiet with our family and to enjoy life.
 We want Peace. But the Price of Peace is Sacrifice We must Give Up something if we wish to Get something.
 What we must give up is little slice of our Independence, our National Pride and our Right to Do as we Please We must Give Up our privilege of declaring war whenever we feel like it, and we must Give Up our right to go about with an Army and Navy so big as to be menace to other nations.
 You cannot Get law and order in your city, with policemen and courts and peaceful Ipopulace, unless you Give Up vour gun, Give Up your right to settle your own disputes with a club, and Give Up your right to take the law into your own hands and punish those who of- lend you
 So in the highways of the world there can be no Peace until individual nations Sacri- flee their right each to be its own judge, jury and sheriff in any dispute with another na- ton.
 National Sovereignty is a good thing. It is so good that some of us throw a fit when ever we are asked to abate one iot or title of 1t.
 But there is something better. It is the Welfare of the World of all Humanity
 Those who refuse to let go of any of our National Sovereignty are precisely like the Icowbov who says: By lingo! I'll not give Iup my gun. I won't leave it to any court or laW-offcer to say when, where or whom shall shoot Mo- sir; Pm a he man. I'll do as l please"
 That kind of talk may do in a mining camp, in conditions of primitive civilization, but 1t would plunge New York or Chicago in to Anarchy as bad as now exists in Moscow.
 That kind of idea is what was the matter with Germany. "DeutschIand Uber Allies, y national vanity and cowboy boasting lead straight to ruin.
 Those who repel the idea of America $ giving up the least bit of her Sovereignty are simply American .Junkers
 If we are going to get rid of the horror Iof war in the world, every nation must Give Up little That alone is the path of civiliza- ton.
 We never got a United States until each separate State Gave Up some of its rights for the sake of the Union
 And we will never get Peace Prosperity and the Reign of law on Earth until each na- ton Gives Up a bit for the sake of the Con- Imon Good.
 Those who claim they want Peace and a ,eague of Nations, yet are unwilling for their own Country to let go any of its privileges and powers, simply have taken leave of Common Sense.
 You cannot eat your cake and have it too.
