Jected by the Missionary Centenary of

ice for humanity.

THE MOST Is MEANING
OF WORD 'BOLSHENIKI'

Many folk still inquire about the
pronunciation and meaning of the
word "Boisheviki," which seems now
to be incorporated in the English
language.
"Bolsheviki" is Russian word,
literally meaning 1.-The greatest" or,
more freely translated, the most" 3"
1t was applied to the extreme Social
lists in Russia because they demand
ed the most in the way of radical
legislation. Their program EN- bodied
the greatest number Of ultra-radical
and faddish ideas.
The Russian pronunciation of the
word follows very nearly the English
smelling, if it were divided into syl-
tables as follows. "Bol-shev-i-iki."
The accent is on the second syllable,
as in most Russian words of four or
more syllables.
But the word has become so
thoroly AnglciZed that 1t usually is
pronounced as il it were spelled and
divided "Bol-she-vi-ki," with the ac-
cent on the third syllable.
Properly there is no such word as
"Bolshevikism. but it was coined,
and now is commonly used, to eX-
nress extremely radical political
views, and is pronounced; generally
"Bol-she-vik- -ism," with the accent
on the third syilable.-Washington

CLEANING OUT CRIME.

The determination of the United States Marshal s office to suppress crime this section of Alaska is commendable and deserves the support of the people This section of the country has been comparatively free of crime for tme but there has been evil dence of late that few people have come here who have sought to make living without working for it. There is no better to suppress this than by rounding up those who responsible for 1t, 1T they can be located Those who have been investi- gating the situation say there is reason why a should be without work in this section of Alas ka, and consequently, there is no reason why man should be without visible means of support if he is physically fit.
 It should be understood in the beginning of the rush northward that while Alaska welcomes all who here work with the purpose in view of making legitimate living, it is good place for those who would live off those who work to shun. We do not want hold-up men, the patrons of any other of the arts and devices of crime.

No country should be permitted to come into the League of Nations without clean hands and hands cannot be ceansed at this time by armed conflict No country has right to ask justice at the hands of the League of Nations while it is invading territory with armies.

The many handsomely gowned women, the wierd Shrine decorations, the red fezes of the Nobles, and the unsur- passed dance program of the latest One Steps, Waltzes, Fox Trots and Schottisches played by Juneau's lead ing dance orchestra, Miss Ethel Forbes, pianist and Edward Larson, violinist, combined to create an ev- ening's pleasure long to be remem- bered.
 The remarkable success of the event was due to the unusual excel lence of the music by these talented artists. Refreshments were served.

It makes a young man happy to have a girl return his love-unless she returns it because she has no use for it.
 It is mighty easy to impose on a friend the first time. But you'll find it mighty hard to impose on him the second time.

We once met a Siwash squaw who made herself what she called whiskey by soaking plug of tobacco in an old tomato can and adding little cayenne pepper to the mixture. And when we gave her a drink of good Scotch whiskey she spat it out and informed Us that it tasted like it had lye in it.
 And when the hostess is boasting about her hand-painted china she never says a word about her paint painted complexion.

 With the presentation went story not like the fables of Aesop.

 "One day when they out for walk they came to a tree The porcupine climbed out onto the branches and invited the beaver to follow. When the beaver had got part of the way up he lost his hold and fell to the ground with flop.
 "The beaver lay there gasping for breath, while the porcupine away laughing.
 After awhile the beaver overlook the porcupine and invited him to his home. When they got to the beaver dam the beaver offered to give his stiff necked friend ride and the porcuplne unWlttngly accept ed the invitation. fa
 When they got to the middle of the pond the beaver dved under and left the porcupine clinging to piece of wood. 'The porcupine could not swim and he sang , to tho Great Spirit, asking that the water be made hard that he could walk out. Pretty thick layer of ice covered the pond. This the first ice in the world. Tie porcupine scrambled ashore.'
 ''There must be moral to ths,' said MT. Lopp
 ''There two morals replied the Indian Don't trust friends who protest friendship be- cause of common misery
