4 total of BOT votes were cast yesterday at the school election, which is very creditable showing when the fact is taken into con- sideration that the incentive for vot- ing, in the way of a contest was absent. The population of Nenana is also on the winter basis, and many of them are out on the line, having gone there recently to pre- pare for commencement of spring operations.
 The total vote boiled for the delegate election last November was 399: and the vote polled at the last school election was considerably less than half the number of votes cast at this one.
 The votes cast were as follows:

BoLSHEvIKIsM DOES NOT THRIVE IN
CATHOLIC COMMUNITIES

The League OF Nations covenant surely places
Germany between the devil of Allied occupation on
the side and the deep sea of Bolshevikism on
the other OF the two evils, however, the former is
the lesser, and doubtless the Germans will make the
intelligent choice between them The Catholics of
Bavaria made short work of the Bolshevikists and
the Catholics of Hungary have done or will soon

doctrines of Catholicism were accepted throughout

CHRISTIAN UNITY MOVEMENT.

,Couched in language of the most exalted and
kindly nature Pope Benedict has written letter
to the three American Protestant bishops who
sought to engage his participation in congress
of all Christian churches. The Holy Father COM
mends the spirit of the enterprise and thanks the
delegates for their request of his support but (as
all Catholics could foresee) pointed to the Catholic
church as "the sole and unique church which Jesus
Christ ordained and sanctifed with His Divine
Blood" and which it was his duty to guard and
maintain.
He earnestly e,horts them to examine in sincere
spirit and without prejudice the inner essence of
the church, as they purposed, and prays that such
examination may lead to harmony of mems minds
and concord of their designs and that unity of faith
and communion may at last prevail throughout the
world.
1t is stated that the commission does not despair
of the success of it's project and is working indus
triousy in many parts of Europe to further it. It
was foregone conclusion that they could hope for
but sympathy and goodwill from the Vatican, and
that the Supreme Pontif has rendered in generous

suggestvely tied around the necks of the statues
OF kings and quondam national heroes. There is
little disorder it is explained because the state itself
is doing all the looting and there is little left

"Americanism in United States Must Be
to Us a Political Religion"
By FRANKLIN K. LANE. Secretary Of Interior

That there are today over seven million persons in the United States
above ten wears Of age unable to read or write English, including those
who cannot even speak or understand our language, procaims an indefen-
lean. The native Americans, those men into whom traditions of liberty
have been sunk by experience of generations, are primarily responsible
for whatever Indifference has been shown by this nation in the education
and enlightenment of those whom they have invited to these shores Upon
us is the responsibility; ours the responsibility and ours the opportunity
We know now that there is no such thing Is Americanisn, unless
Amercanism is in our souls. We have got to feel it first, and then we
have got to put it out among other people. We want now to give a new
significance to that word. We want it to mean help; we want it to mean
sympathy: we want it to mean understanding; we=want it to mean large
ness Of view. We want it to mean not patronage but the largest human
fellowship.
thing mystical which lives in the heavens. It is the constant and con-
tinuous searching Of the human heart for the thing that is better.s We
are compelled to move q and on by something that we know not OF. That
is the essence of Americanism. Take out of our hearts the belief that
the aBattle Hymn Of the Republic is true, that Gods truth is marching
on, and you defeat America, but until you take that from us the real
America cannot be beaten in battle.
We are trying a great experiment in the United States. We are fash
ioning a new people. We are doing the unprecedented thing IN saying
that Sav, Teuton, Cet and the other races that make up the civilized
world are capable Of being blended here, and we say this upon the theory
that blood alone does not control the destiny Of man, that out Of his
has, the work that he does, there can be formed and realized a spirit, an
ideal which will master his blood.
Americanim in the United States must be to us a political religion.
And it is our function to be the preachers Of this gospel: Now be-
cause man has liberty in his hands-because he has the right to deter
mine his own destiny-now the day of freedom is at hand, and he can
make this world what he wants it to be.
