A Cry of Wolf"
(Ford's International Weekly.

(Fords International Weekly.)
 Senator Borah of Idaho has declared that inter. national financial interests backing the League of Nations and that interests centered in Wall have backed the League to Enforce Peace which is also supporting the League of Nations of Senator Borah has produced emotion in the country He Is known opponent of the League of Nations anyway. He is reckoned merely certain human obstacle to the eventual formation of the world parliament So seems to have noticed the mention of the money magnates.
 This, of course, is another sign of the calm but consistent support which the people generally seem to give to the Peace Treaty and to the League Of Nations. The people do not grow angry at Senator Borah but instead they quietly prepare for the summation of the plan.
 On the other hand perhaps the flat failure O. the Senator to cause any excitement by his allusior financiers have had undue interest in purely governmental matters. In time to they may again try to too much do too much. In sucl case any American can with Jonah, the Prophet 'I do well to be angry"

 And these men, who were doing really great work in their respective States, had precedents Ill plenty to have warned them against tEe1r folly. Gov Tilden and Gov.

Seymour instead Of De coming a Democratic Presidential candidate.
 If people could get away from the idea that State service is but a stepping stone to National service and that public life has not been properly laurel crowned until has been achieved in National affairs, would be great thing for self government in this Nation If we had more Gov Seymours, Gov. Tdens, Gov. Hills, Gov. La Fol letes Gov Johnsons etc, who, having mastered the problems of State governments, would continue to vote their genius, talent and time to State affairs there would be greater progress in government, more home rule and less blighting bureaucracy in Amer ica.

A lot of men think. that religion is something to be donned on Sunday morning and put away in the moth balls on Sunday night.
 A young married man can tell you that woman always wants the last word. An old married man can tell you that a woman doesn't know there is such a thing as the last word.
 Another damli: Once upon a time there was woman who kept her face closed when she had nothing to say.
 A wife often worries for fear her husband will work too hard in hot weather. But husband is never that thoughtful about his wife.
 And just because a girl has fuzz on her cheeks she needn't get the idea that she is peach.
 Once upon a time God created a perfect man. Then woman married him and discovered 4,9s7 flaws in him.
 It doesn't hurt to tell the truth once in a while. There are too many churches in this country and not enough religion
 A man can get so rich that he doesn't bother about keeping up ap, pearance. But it is different with woman
 Once in a while a man hates an other man and doesn't know why he hates him. The man he hates has never spoken to him, never harmed him, and doesn't even know him. yet he gets mad every time he looks at the man he hates. Haven't you felt that way about some one and didn't know why you hated him?
 Funny how cheerfully a man will get up at am. to go fishing when he won't get up at 6 am. to go tC work.

GOVERNMENT DOCK AND WAREHOUSE

The suggestion of Superintendent Fory Of the Forestry Service that there should be large GOV ernment dock and ample warehouse room to ac- commodate the vessels of the various Government departments at Juneau is one that should command the very serious attention of the city government and people of this city. The United states Navy and Army the Coast Guard Service, Coast ana Geodetic Survey, Fisheries Bureau Forestry Bureau Lighthouse Service and other branches of the gov ernment maintain large fleet of vessels in Alaska and it will get larger. Juneau is the metropolis of the Territory and the capital. Vessels Of all these of the public service have business here and frequently come here. They would come oftener and stay longer they had dock and ware house facilities where they could tie in comfort and safety, store their supplies and equipment and do business
 Not only would the good of government service in the North be served by the construction of such improvement Juneaus water front, but, from a purely dollars and cents standpoint, Juneau would quickly be reimbursed for every effort and all the cost that would be necessary to secure it. Such dock and warehouse facilities would unquestionaby bring great deal of business to Alaska and Juneau that does not here

CARDINAL MERCIER'S VISIT

Cardinal Mercer is coming to America. He de- sires to meet the people of the nation who responded generously in Belgium's appeals for help during brutal. Invading soldery.
 At every great crisis in human history there will be discovered some who stands conspicu- ously, high and heroic above his fellows; a man whose spiritual courage takes account of per sonal danger who speaks truth, who stands for right. humanity and justice, regardless of con sequences.
 Belgium, Cardinal Mercier, of Malines met them as only such souls meet cataclysmic horrors. He was not affrighed by threats not deterred from speaking condemnation of the atrocities perpeuated upon his helpless fellow countrymen and women. He cursed the barbarites of the 6arbarans to their faces and they did do him to death, as they did many lesser souls!
 This quiet recluse, this patient scholar, who had developed soul and spirit by hard and unremiting service for the humble people of his land defied all the power of William and his hosts. Dauntless he stood through all the terrible season of his countrys aflicton without fear he spoke and wrote from his heart To his people he said: To-day it Is no longer war it is cold calculation premedi- tated destruction the victory of might right the debasement of human nature, a defiance of hu- manity.' He bade them to stand and faithful erty."
 America will extend and generous well come to this truly heroic man.
