What is the matter with getting up Coast to Fairbanks derby and set tie the question of which is the most feasible route to the interior? Cor dova, Valdez and Anchorage could all compete and we would remove the speed limit of five miles per hour from the government railroad so as not to handicap it too severely. Such a contest would arouse a great deal of interest and would provide consid- erahle sport these long winter days.

long ago, the red banner of anarchy was raised by radicals. Soldiers. home from France. believing that this was demonstration in favor of the Russian Bolsheviki. attacked and routed the paraders.
 Our soldiers apparently are not in favor of the forces of destruction They have seen too much of that in France. And when the Reds tell them that the annihlation of institu. tions must precede proper reconstruc. tion the appeal finds them, not cold, but hotly antagonistic The annihila- ton of so much wealth in France the destruction of farms, homes, fac tories and machinery-revealed to them the horror of trying to build from chaos. What the centuries have bequeathed of good in material wealth or institutions they would re- tain.
 Moreover. they have witnessed the failure of radicalism in Russia. "The dictatorship of the proletariat" does not appeal to them. It is alien to American ideals. Class legislation and class rule have always ben ob. noXious to Americans They are as hostile to proletarian despotism as to the depOtism of czars.
 But as of old, Americans, whether they fought in France or helped at home. will remain loyal to the cen. tral idea of their government The equality, liberty and justice they will demand for themselves and for all the world will be the equality, the liberty and justice of equal oppor- tunity. Class rule of any kind they will abhor and combat as they have ever abhorred and combatted lcgisla- ton having for its object a dictator skip by any class.
 We may be sure that some such thoughts as these are surging in the minds Of at least the leaders among the returning soldiers They may not have analyizcd and philosophical, but they know with a fair discernment what they want They want neither the radicalism of the Reds. nor the ultra conservatism of the unpr0grcs. Siv". They look forward, as do all of us, to sweeping changes. but they expect, as We expect. that the new order shall b" built upon what is best in the old
 And through the warp and wool of their aspirations We may be sure runs the fin" gold of lofty idealism.

President Wilson and various mem bcrs of his cabine thave pledged their support to the pioneers of Alaska in their efforts to devlop the country. It Is recognized at Washington that our territory has big future before it and that one of the principal need is improved transportation facilities. The administration has even Il more intimate knowledge of northern con- ditions. It recognizes that the con struction of the railroad under the direction of the Alaskan Engineering commission. giving employment to sourdoughs and fostering local indus tries as the work progresses, is help ing Northerners to tide over q period of such unusual depressions that com paratively few of the oldtimers would have remained in Alaska under less favorable conditions of construction. -Nenana News
