SHOULD RATIFy TREATY

Yesterdays conference at the
White House should result in much
good, Indeed, it should lead to the
prompt settlement of the Peace
Treaty controversy. Since the
President has agreed that "interpre-
tations" of certain articles of the
covenant cannot be Objectionable,
there would seem to be little left to
dispute over.
As the philadelphia Inquirer says
"many of the criticisms of the COW
enant have been far fetched and
hair splitting. The Monroe Doctrine
is directly recognized. All internal
questions such as immigration. the
tariff ard so en- have never been in
danger except in the radlca!
speeches of the Borahs and The III.
Johnsons and their few followers
We are not plunged into war by the
much discussed Article X, for the
Council cannot act; it ran advise
only. AS for withdrawing upon
notice Of two years, that right Is
distinctly written into the covenant.
s.Thore has been so much dollb'
crate misleading Of the pabEc, how
evr, that. interpretations appear to
be necessary. 1T has 1ong been con-
tended that since the articles under
fire are perfectly understood by thu.
Representative Of the nations who
drew them, no hara could possibly
come should the Senate adtro by
resolution its irtai 3retat!or If their
meaning, fer most 81 tho proposed
interpretatins have not charged
their real meaning; have only ciar!-
fed them.
Amendments are out of the ques-
ton, CT course. They would lead
to world confusion. But "!nSerpre-
tations' are different. So let US
have them and put the Treaty
TIN ough. Let US get 1t out OF the
way, so that we can come back to a
peace basis and devote our whole
attention to our own passing prob
lens, such as the high cost of liv
ing.
Every naticn that went to war is
today in an unsettled condition. This
unsettled condition vii remain until
an all around agreement on the
Treaty is reached. Unquestionably
the Senate, by its delay. has become
a stumbling blcck to the return Of
national ard international sanity,
There can no longer be any excuse
whatever for further procrastina
tion. There should be enough COM
mon sense Senator'S to arrive at az
understanding"

DEATH LOVES 4
 SHINING MARK

That death loves shining mark was never more truthfully stated chan when, in yesterdays edition CT the Daily Alaskan, the death Of William Bunting, as the result of pneumonia, following an attack of lufluenza, was briefly announced.
 Coming to Alaska from Chicago in 1912, Bill" Bunting entered the employ of the White Pass and Yukon route in this city, and while faithfully performing his duties Is a skilled mechanic, he at the same time began the making of friend ships which simply meant all those persons with whom he became acquainted. In passing out of this life, there is no man who can say that "Bir' eyer did him a mean trick, and there are hosts who can say be was friend-a man.
 William Bunting leaves a wife to mourn his loss, but she can take solace in the beautiful thought that all those who knew her husband are sorrowlng with her in her great bereavement, and there is no great CT sympathy than this. This wife who now sits in sorrow was taken in wedlock by the deceased on Dec ember 20, 1914 at Vancouver Wash, and since that time, there has not been a days breach in their constant componionship.
 William Bunting was a young ma born May 9, 1880 in London, England. His father, John Blunt ing ST. lives with three sons, Fred, John, jr., and Bob in Winnepeg, MaRatoba.
 David Bunting, 8 brother of the deceased was killed in the Battle or the somme, while a member of the Canadian Mounted Riles.
 The funeral services will be held from the Skagway Undertaking eompany's chapel at two o'clock Thursday afternoon, and will or necessity, on account of the health regulations, be strictly private. The body will be laid to rest in the Skagway cemetary.
 William Bunting has been 6 member of Skagway's common coun- ell for two terms, and as such has always been g. faithful attendant at all meetings, and performed the trust imposed upon him by his fel- low citizens in the same caraful man ner as he did all the acts of his daily life.
