LEAGUE PRESIDENT WILSON.

Can you visualize Woodrow Wilson as president of the league of nations? :? If you cannot, he can.
 President Wilson of the league Of nations would quite throw into the shade the figures of G. Washington and A. Lincoln.
 But, after all, would it not do the world good to have New Jersey pro- lessor, in mortar board and gown, at the head of the nations? Neither from the viewpoint of dramatic values, nor from the viewpoint of art, would the professional figure compare with that of Napoleon on horseback or of the kaiser in the white uniform and gold helmet and floating plumes of Ho- henzollern conqueror. As an object of aesthetic devotion League Presi- dent Wilson would not compare favor ably even with the presidents of our National and American leagues.
 But as head of the league of nations the president would .be,,a tranquiiliz- ing personality. He would be the antithesis of militarism. He would be the professor and white men and black men, yellow men and brown men, red men and other men, would be his pupils. Nietzsche has said that c~I hoo n1v - loved a warrior, but if that be true then it is time that Wisdom changed her mind.
 1 The warrior has had his day. Now for the. New Jersey schoolmaster- president of a university, president of the good old U. 8. A., president of America, Europe, Asia, Africa and other heathenish countries.

j, It is also worthy of note that nearly every precinct in the westward coun- try where there was a deputy mar shal voted for Wickersham. Sel- dovia, Kodiak, Unga, Mccarthy and other precincts where commissioners and deputy marshals are stationed gave Wickersham majorities. Nc Carthy is- the only princinct in the Copper River country where there is a United States commissioner and deputy marshal, and it is the only Copper River precinct carried by Wickersham.- Juneau Empire.
 The news was received here some time ago that the financing deal sug- gested by President F. w. Bradley of the Alaska-Juneau mine had been ap- proved by the board of directors and that work would start in the spring toward making that mine a paying proposition. MT. Bradley will be in this section himself most of the sum. mer to superintend the work and we can expect that great things will hap pen.

After all, one can hardly blame the New York schooIteachcrs who failed to re spond with enthusiasm to the suggestion that during the vacation they should go out as domestic employees mot servants, but home assistants" " The plan failed to attract; and even the picture presented by the statement that "a young school teach CT from Brooklyn is cooking for family of twelve in a lovely summer home, and is paid $35 a month" proved no magnet. 'Why on earth, " wrote one of them, doubt less speaking for many, to New York pa per, "should teacher go and cook for a family of twelve for $35 month, when C good cook can easily get from $6O to $50 a month in family of four or five " The question seems pertinent. Granting that the teacher is inadequately paid for teach ing, 1t hardly adds to the dignity of her vocation to suggest that she should be in adequately paid for cooking, cook though she may in the lovelicst summer home ever occupied by family of tWelve.-Ex.

 TANKS PRAISES BY AMBASSADOR

NUO N-CP) The English Speaking union gave a dinner here to- night in celebration of Armfsticn day the first of the world war. The chief event of the dinner was the presentation of John W. Davis the American ambassador. for transmits, sion to President Wilson, of an ilIum- mated address to the American pao- ule testifying to the excellent reIa- tions which existed between the British people and the American troops, who were quartered in this country during the war The address bears the signatures of the Lord Mayors, Lord Provosts and the May ors of the chief cities and towns in the British Isles
 The dinner was held in the famous Connaught Rooms in Great Queen street, Earl Reading, Lord Chief Justice of England, preciding The address presented to Ambassador Davis follows:
 ITO the people of the United States of America.
 Be it known by these presents that We, the undersigned Lord May ors, Lord Provosts and Mayors of the aforementioned cities and towns in Great Britain and Ireland, while re ioicing that with the cooperation of the American navy and army and that of the allies, the war has been brot to a victorious conclusion, do hereby declare on the behalf of the people of these islands our deep regret at the consequent departure from among us of the American naval and mili- tary forces, who have fought side by side with our soldiers and sailors with SO much gallantry and success.
 We are sorry that we in this coUnu! have not been able to wei come as many of the American land forces as we should have liked ow- ing to the exigenCies of war. Those of your men, however, who have re- sided with us have made countless fri nds among our people, and we shall always retain the happiest memories of their visit. The stan dard of conduct which they have set has indeed been a high one, and we can only say that we hope they will take away with them some of those feelings of affection which they have inspired during their sojourn with us"
 The signatories to the address are the Lord Mayors of London, Liver pool Norwich, Sheffield and Belfast, the Lord Provosts of Edinburgh and Glasgow Provost of Renfrew, and the Mayors of Stamford, Salisbury, Oxford, Lincoln, Chester Southamp- ton Dover, Derby, Portsmouth, Buck ingham, Grantham, Oldham, Andover, DOncaster and Eastbourne.

THE PATHFINDER


 magazine being published under the dircc' tion of John w. Frame, Grand Hstoriafs, Pioneers of Alaska. says an editorial ar ticIc iu \oL I.- No. l of the publication is to "coIIcrt material for a history of Alas .>a. The history of any country, says that Wircr is a compilation of the incidents in the lives of the men who have lived in and to some extent, have developed the coun- try. So, the trials, travels, tibuations and uiumph~ of the carly settlers in Alaska tell the tale, or in other words, write the history of the carly settlers in Alaska. His tory k nothing more than the tales of those who lived in that day written in book Civilized men write these tales and call it history, UucirjIizcd men tell to their chiI- dron and il is called tradition. The written history of the Alaska native is ''picturcd ou his totem pole" He had no other way to hand il down of record Every charac- tcl. on a totem pole is'an illustration of the life of d man or a tribe of men. The ma tivcs reads it with just as much interest as the civilized man reads d page of history, and understands ii just as fully. So the true historian is totem pole carver, or in other words, one who preserves for future generations the incidents of the lives of those who lived in the past *"
 The first issue of the Pathfinder will be of interest to all Pioneers especially as it has historical records of many mem bcrs of that organization With the pres cnt membership of the order, it should not be a difficult matter to keep it alive as long as there is need for such publication.
 The winds of reform are blowing thru the world and turning out all Worn-out ways and practices. In England the min istcr for education produces an education act which is going to be "thc wonder and admiration of the whole WorId.' It begins by insisting that schooIboys and schoolgirls should remain within reach of the dominic two years longer than hitherto. And since it takes more than one nightingale to make a summer, Housing Reform is heard lifting up her voice and demanding, not only more houses, but more rooms in them. It looks as if Education and Housing Reform had put their heads together before crying their needs ill the market place. Higher studies for the boys and girls surely means oppor- tunity for study, and this is what Hous- ing Reform claims to give them: an extra room where, when the will is present, peace and quiet may regin.-Christian Science Monitor.
