It K possible that a large percentage ol those now leaving Alaska high school, and entering colleges are influenced to a certain cNtenta ay that reason. But it is apparent that he has not made himself familiar with the small percentage of high school graduating students who go to inSttutions for higher learning. The fact that it is necessary for them to leave home to pay considerable money for an education which is not designed to meet the peculiar conditions which exist in the Northland, without question dctcrs many from trying to equip themselves with a college cdu. cation. Ii i> for the boys and girls who are not now able to do so, or who are unwilling to purchase at a high cost knowledge which is not directly applicable to the problems which they must overcome in assisting in the deveI- opment of Alaska that territory must build its schools of higher education.
 If Speaker Whites argument were fol- lowed to its logical conclusion the territory might as we'll abolish its high schools and say that when the students finish the grades they should go to the states where there are larger high schools where the SO-caled 'advantagts" of big cities and greater activity' exist.
 The hope of any country rests in its young men and women, its boys and girls, the youth of the land AS long as that youth is compelled by force of circumstances to go abroad for its education so long will the Coun- try suffer the loss of not small percentage of its young people. And Alaska has suffered more than her share of such losses just be- cause men of Speaker Whites way think ing cannot see the real advantages which spread out at their own feet

APPOINTMENTS MADE.

President Wilson made no mistake when he sent up for rc-appointment the names of Cha, r., BunncII and R. r. Roth for judge and |. <. attorney respectively, of this diV1- sion And there doesn't seem to be any reason why the senate should not confirm both ap- pointments.
 It i> understood that when these appoint mtntS were up at the last session of congress, Senator Jones, of Washington, made fight against them on political grounds. AIaskanS generally wonder just where Mr. Jones ac- Quircd d political interest in Alaska \ bus- ness interest they could understand, but poll tically there is nothing here for him and the less he mixes in Alaskan politics the better will Alaskans generally be pleased.
 That members oi the republican organi- zation in Alaska, or 1t might be more nearly accurate to say the Wickersham organization, since he has apparently made it the tail to his kite are naturally opposed to their re-appolnt- mcnt They would be equally opposed to any other democratic appontee. The President IS not in duty bound to be governed by the N 1ck- ties or republicans. It would be more than passing strange if he should be.
 All insinuations made against both men are political in nature. The senate will depart from well established precedent if it pays any attention to them in the present case.

HEARING OPENS
 IN CONTRABAND
 FUR SEIZURES
ENTIRE DAY CONSUMED BY GOV EMINENT IN PRESENTING TIES TIMONY IN VACHON FUR CASE CASE CONTINUED UNTH. THIS MORNING.

The preliminary hearing in the Va chon fur case began yesterday morn ing before Commissioner Reed Heilig, sitting as a commissioner of the U. s. district court and not as an eX- ofIicio justice of the peace. The en- tire day was consumed in taking of testimony presented by the govern ment and the examination of the beaver furs alleged to have been of fered for shipment by Peter Vachon thru the mails to the states.
 Deputy U. s. Marshal Jim Hagen, of Nenana, was called by the govern ment as its first witness. MT Hagen was on the stand for but a few minutes and told of going to Tolo- vana, accompanied by Warden Foster, the complaining witness in the cases, and the seizure of the alleged con traband skins He identified the sacks as those which contained the furs seized by himself and MT. Eos ter. On cross examination by At tOrney Marquam for the detneSe, he stated that he was sent to Tolovana by Marshal Erwin who had received information regarding the alleged cOntraband shipment and at whose instance search warrant was sworn out by Warden Foster. He also stat ed on cross examination that he was unable to state just what MT. Va chon's declaration covering the ship ment contained, but that he was posi-. tive that it did not make any men ton of beaver skins. The furs he said were found in Vachons ware house and barn in sacks marked with two tags, a mailing tag and ship ping tag on which was written the name of the consignee, etc.
 Following MT Hagen, Warden Eos ter was called by the government and his statement regarding the seiz- ure of the shipment was cOrrobora- tive of the one made by the deputy marshal He also stated on direct examination that he was convinced that none of the beaver from which the furs were taken had been killed longer than five syears and that many of them not more than two years
 His cross examination took cOnsid- erable time but failed to produce much that was new, althO he admit ted that it was a hard matter to say positively in just what section of the country the animals were killed and that statement of the exact time of their killing was practically i'm possible After MT. Fosters testi- mony was complete, the skins were again emptied from the sacks and the defense. with the aid of F. S. Gordon and Abe Stein made an ex- animation of all skins. The hearing will be resumed again at 10 o'clock this morning.
 Fresh interest was added to the cases today when it became known that the TIA marten skins seized by Deputy U. s. Marshal John B. Pow CTS, of Eagle, on the steamer Alaska, and which it is said were part of a mail shipment consisting of 32 sacks which was recently made from Tolo- vana by Peter Nachon, are being re turned here by the government It is probable that the hearings will be continued to include the marten skins when they arrive. It is thot that Deputy Powers is on the Alaska and will arrive here next week

THE SOUL. OF THE TREATY.
(By Dr. Frank Crane. )

he Soul O1 the Treaty O1 Peace IS the ,eaguc of Nations.
 Without the eaguc the Treaty will be but a Dead Body.
 It will be as a lifeless statue a thing in- capabe of functioning; just, perhaps but powcrless; formidable, but impotent: a sinu- lacrum not living organism.
 As a .eague it is Humanity at last united in an intelligent purpose. As a Treaty alone it will be but another of a long list of treaties, and the others lie broken all along the road side of history.
 Without the League of Nations it will be a compound of oil and water, which cannot mix The League is the lye, and without it your soap will not wash the world.
 The ,eague is the only rational object o> the war We did not sacrifice seven million lives and two hundred billion dollars worth of property just to get another Triple Alliance or Pact of Vienna or Entente.
 We Waged the war to save the world from war And no human brain has yet con- .ceved anything else but some kind of a ,eaguc of Nations that gives any promise whatever of stopping war.
 Only by League of Nations, a common understanding among all governments, can Armaments be limited, the people saved from the intolerable burden of maintaining mon strous organizations of destruction, to devour the fruits of labor and keep the poor enslaved
 The League is the Seed of the Treaty Without 1t there can be no propagation of 1u- ture world prosperity.
 A I,eaguless Treaty will be an emascu- lated Treaty, sterile, by and by scorned by some new Conqueror
 Only hv the League do we make sure there shall never be another Conqueror Na- tion, another outburst of national egotSm and destructive race pride, repeating the devas- tations of Greece, of Rome, of Spain, of the Turks
 With the League only can the small na- tions be protected; Sweden, Belgium, Chilli, Portugal and Liberia are made partners with and their independence underwritten by Great Britain, the United Staes, France and Japan.
 Only by the League does the Treaty se- cure any Democracy of Nations
 Without the League the Treaty will set the world back into its old Welter of rival mili- tarisns, with all it's waste, jeaOusles crucltes, Ibarbarisms.
 To cut the cague out of the Treaty is as if you cut the heart out of a man.
 To make the ,eague partisan issue will be the most cons,rous act of political pro5+itu- tion which the envy and personal prejudice of politicians ever rcrpetrated.
 Gentlemen, we the People do not care la hang about the Treaty. for all treaties are stopgaps and makeshifts what we want is that League.
 No Treaty ever struck, permanently. Every one has been the seed of another war Maybe the League will stick. At least it is worth trying
 We. the People, are toling, dreaming. plan ming organizing. saving, to make this world better place to live in happier, freer, more beautiful, filter for our children's children, and we do not want Wars at regular intervals to smash all we have built up with so much pains.
 And only Treaty with a League in it |

THF, WAY OF TT.

Much has been said about the failure of the last territorial legislature to provide funds for the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. First one man and then another would be alleged to have been at fault to have committed all honest error in judg- ment, which spilled the beans and caused the shutting down of the project for at least two more years
 But from certain remarks made by Speaker White, of the last house of represen- tativcs, it seems that the real reson that the money was not made available is the fact that the majority of the legislators believed that an Alaskan college could not compete with Out side institutions of learning. It is probably true that this reason was not given by the op- position (which used all kinds of pretext to take fall out of the appropriation.
 Mr. White, in an interview appearing in Seattle papers about June ? last, said "A college in Alaska cannot give its pupils all the advantages they can get in the states. knoWl- edge that cannot be found in books goes with a college education, and 1t IS this knowledge that cannot get in Alaska.
 Just what advantages" Mir. White had reference to is not known. The szze of a college institution is not necessarily an indica- ton of educational efficiency. Many of the smaller schools of the country are just as Wel and in fact some of them better, equipped than others of the larger class. And the advantages which are to be had are going to depend large ly upon the provisions made by the territorial government for obtaining them.
 The Citizen believes that the history of Alaska will refute Mir. Whites contention that "knowedge' to be had from conditions as they exist in the states will be of more value to Alaskans than a thorO familiarity with Alaskan conditions.
 As he ntimates book fearing IS after all a small portion of real education. Education, it has been said, is applied knowledge, in be- ing able to put into use that which has been learned. And technical training, reinforced by practical experience, is considered to be the best process of fearing.
 The proposed territorial college is to be a school for specializing on two most import ant branches of industry-mining and agrcul- ture. And not as they exist i'll the state of Washington or any other state, but in Alaska. A study of the conditions which affect them cannot be made in the states where they do not exist but only in the North where they are encountered every day and in natural circum- stances. Thus the advantages" spoken of by Mr. White, if they do exist, are in favor of an Alaskan institution and not of state colleges.
 Referring to those who would like to go to college, Mr. White said: "When high school students in Alaska think of going to college they also think of seeing bit of the outside world at the same time, and living in big cities and being where there is more ac- tvty than in the North"
