CLUB MEMBERS WILL CONSIDER
 FOURTH PLANS

The question of arranging for the observance of Independence Day in Nenana will be brought up for dis cussion at the regular bi-weekly meeting of the Commercial club to- night, and committees probably will be named to make the necessary arrangements for the celebration. The meeting will be held at the usual place, commencing promptly at eight o'clock, and all members of the or ganization are urged to be on hand. It promises to be a very important meeting.
 The suggestion has been made that funds for the celebration, or at least, substantial portion of them, be raised in a new way this year, and the proposition probably will be submitted tonight for the clubs consideration.
 Another proposition which prob ably will be considered by the club is the resolution introduced in Con- gress this week, providing for the further suspension of the assessment law. The club already has gone on record as opposing such suspension and doubtless will take action seek ing to prevent the passage of the bill introduced yesterday by one of Cali fornia's representatives.
 There are also several other mat ters of more or less importance to the district that will receive atten- tion, and it is the hope of the off cers of the club that large at tendance will be present to partici- pate in the discussions.

BOOZE PRICES LOWERED
 IN DRY LUMBER REGION

Ernst Berggren is in receipt of a letter from Charley Carroll, for merly of Hot Springs and Fair banks, in which the oldtimer states that he is now working in logging camp close to Alba, Washington. He likes the place and the work, but says he often gets that restless feeling for the North and is un- decided as to his future movements.
 The letter indicates that Wash

The homemade brand can be procured at eight dollars a gal lon, and there is plenty of kick in it. The bootleggers want more for case goods, but at s20 a gallon, the price is much below that chargei in the larger towns in dry territory.

O[DI|MER LEAVES
 ID LOOK FOR ORE

Equipped with supplies sufficient to last a year, Charles Isenberg left for the Kantishna country on Wednesday to search he hills for gold. He expects to spend the sum- mer and perhaps next winter in the district and, if unsuccessful in his hunt for precious meals, he will ret -n to Nenana at the end of that time to accumulate another grub stake. Isenberg is a hard rock man of considerable experience and will devote his attention while in the Kantishna to the investigation of quartz prospects which he may come across. He knows there are lodges of value in the district and he is hopeful of finding one that will re- pay him for the many seasons he has spent in the hills of the North land.
 Isenberg is making the trip to the Kantishna in polling boat, alone, which is no small undertaking in itself. He will go well up the Kantishna river and confine his at tention to a range of hills where encouraging prospects were found on a previous visit to the district and where he has a partner awaiting him.
 The outfit which Isenberg is talk. ing with him, represents the savings
 of practically two years, which is some indication of the advanced cost
 of supplies in Central Alaska.

STEAMER TANANA DUE TOMORROW
 FROM DAWSON

The A. Y. N. company's steamer Tanana left Panama last night at 8 p. m., and is expected to arrive in Nenana tomorrow evening.
 She has the cold storage barge Trider and the mail launch Sibilla in tow, and also has the mail from Dawson and way points and some freight on board for Nenana.
 She will probably remain in port for few hours, discharging her freight, which is composed mostly of meat, and will take the cold storage barge on with her to Fair banks.
 The Sibilla will connect here with the Carl White launch which is bringing down the through mail from Fairbanks, and will then pro- ceed to Dawson to connect with ] boat for Whitehorse.
 The Panama will probably sail from Fairbanks, on the return trip, on Monday, June 9 or earlier, for Dawson, where she will connect with a boat for Whitehorse. This will be her first trip for the season with through freight and passengers.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
IS HEBREW A DEAD LAM
GUAGE?

In an editorial in the Sunday

a Dead Language to Life, meaning
Hebrew, and refers to the efforts
that are made by the Jews of Pales-
tine to bring this revival about. He
is rather sceptical as to results.
classic Hebrew" he says, "is one
Of the three great dead languages,
but it is just as dead as Greek and
Latin"
Well, we are not quite so sure of
that. A language is not dead as
long as it is being used. 1t may not
be used in daily speech, in the shop
or in the market place But if it
is used in the schools, and the prayer
houses, if a people keeps on writ
ing down it's best thoughts, and
volclng its most sacred sentiments in
it; if it keeps on writing it's laws, it's
poems and it's prayers, and all the
other creations of it's mind and heart
in it, it is not dead That is pre-
cisely the case of the Hebrew Ian
guage. 1t never died. The finest
literary productions of the Jews dur
ing the two thousand years or more
of the diaspora, with a few excep-
tons, such as the writings of Philo
and the other Hellenists, are in He
brew. The best proof that Hebrew
has continued as a living language
is the fact that it has kept on grow
ing and developing and adapting it
self to the needs of each new period
in our history; and growth and
adaptation are sure signs of life. 1t
adjusted itself to the requirements
of the niceties Of legalism in the
Mlshnah, to the distractions of me-
dieval philosophy, and to the new
concepts of modern science. Mod
ern Hebrew literature is of very ex-
tensive range. Those who nowadays
wish to speak and write in pure
classic Hebrew have not the least
difficulty in clothing their thoughts
in the most fitting linguistic gar
ment of perfect cut and style. In
Palestine and other Jewish circles
infants 'babble and play, and savants
discuss the weightiest problems in
it. Hebrew is not dead language,
whatever we may say of classic
Greek and Latin.

Jew in America was ten, twenty, or
fifty years ago the Jew in Russia or
Hungary, or Bohemia or Germany.
And yet while some of these Jews
in America have become Socialists
and other kinds of radicals, just like
thousands of others of their Amer
lean fellow citizens, the preponderat
ing majority of them are respect
able, conservative, law-abiding
workmen, professional and bust
ness men. The fact that the out
break of Bolshevism in Russia has
given the handful of Jewish radicals
who are at the same time men of
brains, education, and spirit, an OPP
portunity to make themselves heard
and talked about, Or to make their
influence felt in radical circles,
should not blind rational and I'M
prejudiced people to the other most
patent fact that the rank and file as
we'll as the leaders of the Russian
and German Jews in this country are
of the opposite type. SO that this dis
tinction between the Jew in Amer
lea and the Jew who is not in Amer
lea exists only in the imagination Of
our writer who is trying to find
some grounds for his prejudices.
And so we don't feel a BIT SEN
sitive about a Boris Sidis, Rose
Pastor, Mrs. Strunsky English,
a Victor Berger We take it as a
matter of course that some Jews
will be radicals, just as some Irish
Catholics will be- or Swedish LII
therans, or Scotch-Presbyterians.
All that we wish is that people
should be fair1ninded enough to
speak of Boris Sidis and others as
individuals and not as representing
the Jews who furnish the same in
finite variety of human types as
other groups do.
The writer speaks of the Anglo
Saxon political genius, and con-
cludes that "Americans being
Anglo-Saxons by inheritance, tradi
ton, institutions and largely by
blood, have governed themselves
and still do Very we'll Now this
rich political inheritance of ours, our
socalled Anglo-Saxon free and dem
ocratic institutions are traced back
by all historians to English Puritan
ism. But English Puritanism, as ev-
cry student knows, was nurtured by
Old Testament religion. Spiritual

Saxon institutions rather than with

Farmers Keep Aloof
From Labor Federation

wv HE enc: there is a big labor Or
w strike an effort is made to
induce farmers to join the federation.
A few years ago the farmers were
inclined to form a labor union and
merge with the federation, but the
movement never materialized.
Recently the Farmers congress
held its thirty-ninth annual meeting
and instead of taking sides with the
strikers denounced the radical ele-
ment of certain branches of union
ism.
!, The farmers are deep-rooted in
.Americanism and as they detected
an alliance of the /. w. w. with the
steel workers they kept aloof from
the union federation.
Farmers associations are formed
for work along their own lines. They
will never ally themselves with any
labor movement of European origin
which advocates unionism or what.
ever be akin to so-called syndicalism
soviet principles or any other violent
issues.
!: The time should soon come wher
wage workers, like farmers, must bt
distinguished as stanch American
citizens. That will lead to sympathy
on the part of the people in gen
eral and friendly attitude on the
part of the United States govern
