N1edleu of Races Languages and Tenperane1s Before Our Eoreat1ers 1 Colonial Days Offered More Cot1fus- inq Problem Than Thai Now Engaging Attention of Peace DeleQates in Paris

Thus we see that in population of about 3,ooO,oQO which the framers of the United States constitution had to deal with in 17S3-1787 there was quite as much diversity of races, lan- guages and temperaments" (when con- sldered in the ratio of present-day world growth as we find today con- fronting the advocates of league of nations.
 The races generally considered In the proposed league of nations today are the Anglo-SaXun United States and Great Britain). the French, Ital- ian, Japanese, Scandinavian Norway and Sweden), Iberian Spain and Por- tugaD and, possibly, the Germanic- in all seven distinct races. The races that were directly involved in the framing of the constitution of the United States in 17S3-1787 were the Anglo-Saxon, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, German, Swiss and African, in all eight. Add to these the hostile SpaniardS in Florida, the un friendly French in Louisiana, Canada and along our western borders and the more than 100000 Indians and we find a situation quite as compli- cated (proportionately) as that con fronting the advocates of a league of nations in 1919-so far as diversity of races, languages and temperaments' is concerned.

Keep Young by Col6ng

Since MT. Rockefeller has had his home at Ormond he very seldom visits the hotels, but occasionally he takes dinner "sout," sometimes as a, guest and again as host, and it is touchinglv Interesting to notice his most extra ordinary democratic mannerisms He shakes hands with the employees of the hotel, sometimes giving them a testa- ment as a tip, and at others half a dollar When he goes to his dinner he eats anything any other healthy guest will eat, relishes it and looks the part of a man quite fit to digest it. The myth of his living on crackers and milk is as big fraud as it is ridicu- lous and untrue. There was a time when John D. Rockefeller did suffer slightly with indigestion, but it has never been verified that he had gone on an eternal diet of crackers and milk. If so, he quit it many years ago. He says that golfing has kept him young, and has contributed, in his be- lief, greatly to the vigor and youth he possesses, notwithstanding his four score years.

 IF WE will stop for a moment to con- A sider, we will find that the difficult ties of forming the proposed league of nations" are no greater, if as great, than those which confronted the fraxners of the constitution of the United States in its construction pe- riod of 1783-1737. It is a gratifying illustration of the magnificent energy and spirit of present-day Americans to find that they are fretting and Suming because the league of nations Is not formed before peace with the central powers of Europe is con- cluded, when the league of the orig inal thirteen states (then virtually a league of nations) was not completed until several years after the treaty of peace with England was concluded in 17ss.
 To the average American of today the greatest difficulty in forming league of nations seems to be the di- versity of races, languages and tenn peraments of the peoples entering into the compact. We have the great Eng lsh-s speaking race, the French, Japan ese, Italian and possibly the Spanish to consider in forming the basis of 8 confederation to deal with the con- quered Teutons, besides the demoral- ized Russians, the impossible Turks and the many lesser subdivisions of neutral and smaller nations.

Freedom of the Seas' Much More Complicated in l783-1787

II freedom of the seas" is regarded as a difficult problem for the states men of today, what must it have been at the close of the eighteenth century, when ocean commerce was hampered with innumerable "orders in council" Milan decrees, "embargoes provision al,' the ''Edict of Berlin" etc, etc? Frankly, there never has been and never will be such a condition as free dom Of the seas" any more than there has been freedom of utilized terri tories" The framers of our constitu- tion recognized that right on the high seas must be protected by might-just as 1t is on terra firma--and they au- thorized all our merchantmen to arm their craft and crews, and to enforce their rights by might-so far as they could. And when they discovered that this was not sufficient protection, they began the task of building a real navy to enforce our rights on the high seas.
 Our Thirteen Original Nation"
 Virtually, therefore, the formation of the original thirteen states into a union under the constitution was a league of foreign nations. We find a survival of this oldtime antipathy be tween the original thirteen states In tEe judiciary of some of our states to. day, when the courts refer to busi- ness organizations of other states as "foreign' corporations. When our constitution went into effect, March, 17S9, as the binder" for the thirteen states, it was regarded as a rash ex. pertinent" a rope of sand"; and it came in for full measure of ridicule and undisguised contempt among the powers of the earth.

Bolshevism and Foreign Propa-
 ganda Rampant Ill l703

In proportion to the relative popula- lions of the two periods we will find the Bolshevisrn and hostile foreign propaganda quite as rampant in the United States in 1783 as it is today. Bv the terms of the unamended con- stitution the suffrage was limited to comparatively small number of prop ertv owners and rent payers. Not only were the blacks and ignorant whites totally disqualified for voting, but many of the most intelligent and in- huential men were disfranchised on arbitrary specifications. Thousands ol Tories had been exiled to Canada, Der muda and other nearby English pos sessions. They were bitter toward the "rew experimcnt" and through their agents and friends made every effort to stir up discontent against the new government.

LEASING BILL
 IN HOUSE IS UNW0RKABLE

In the opinion of men who have made a careful study of the proposed legislation, the coal, oil and mineral leasing bill now before congress, in it's provisions for the leasing of Alaska oil lands, is entirely unavoidable, and will cause no development in that ter ritory.
 Chairman Curry of the house com- mittee on territories is one of those who hold this opinion, Falcon Joslin, president of the Boring River Coal Company, who is also interested in the oil properties in the Katalla field, is another.
 This bill has passed the senate and is now before the house committee on public lands. No hearings are to be had on it but briefs may be filed. MT. Joslin is presenting the objections of Alaskans to the bill to the committee through Representative Sinnott Of Oregon.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-16
Can't Tell What 1t Means

''The senate tried to be liberal to Alaska and sought to benefit the ter ritory," said MT. Joslin, "but there were too many cooks engaged in the work, and the result is a sad mess. I defy anyone to tell what many of the provisions of the bill, as they affect oil leases in Alaska, mean.
 ''In the original draft of the bill it was provided that prospecting permits would be granted in the States for $40 acres and in Alaska for twice that, or 1, ,2S0 acres. Subsequently, the pros pecting area in the United States was raised to 2,500 acres, but no one thought to change the Alaska figure, so it still stands at 1,2S0 acres. The bill permits a man to take three leases in the States or five in Alaska, but it is provided that in Alaska he shall have no more than one on the same geological structure in known oil

field. What this means precisely have found no one who can say
Provision for Leasing

Leases in Alaska are to be on a basis of 1 ,2S0 acres, but it appears that may lease, as the result of his discov- cry, only one-fourth of it on 5 per cent royalty The remaining three fourths of the area are put up at auc- tion, the discoverer having the prefer ence right, but the royalty on this re- maining three-quarters ranges on schedule from 121a to 25 per cent, sub ject to higher bids.
 "A comparison of these provisions with those prevailing in British Go lumbia is interesting. The British Co., lumbia royalty is 21a cents a barrel straight, no percentage system being used. At prevailing prices per cent royalty in Alaska means 75 cents barrel.
 "The Alaska provisions of the bill constitute a maze of contradictions and blind limitations. Unless these defects are remedied either in con- mittee Or on the floor the law will be quite useless in Alaska. The oil de- veloper would far better operate in California than in the territory"

for washing your flmy things
A Vet

The cleansing of the flrny, cob webby things that come to our laundry in your family bundle the silken underwear, dainty shirtwaists and gossamer Geor- gettes and 1aces-has become a fine art with us.
 These articles of apparel, to which a scrubboard would be ruination, are never touched by awkward hands when we wash them.
 In lieu of the none-too-gentle practices of the laundress, we employ a much safer method. We place these finer articles in special nets each according to its kind for washing by gentle sousing and rinsing.
 These nets are purse-like in shape in fact they closely re- semble the common mesh purse. They are somewhat larger, how ever, and made of cloth instead of metal.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-16

Secure in these nets, the sheerest articles are cleansed without coming into contact with wash boards or the hands of workers. Pure soft water and suds of a mild white soap, weaving in and out through the meshes, give your things a freshness and beauty that make them as new. The care we use on garments and apparel of this kind is typi- cal of that which we exercise in the washing of everything. Mo- where is there any friction and rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
 Your clothes and the clothes of your family, will last longer if you will send them to us to be washed.
 If Monday is an ordeal, we have a simple relief. Just let us know and we will have our driver call for your family bundle.
