by Republicans Dillingham;, Fall
and Sterling refused to stand by
their colleague from New Jersey,
Senator Frelinghuysen, and re-
fused to take cognizance of Ger
many's wish that the acts of A.
Mitchell Palmer be repudiated.
The senate subcommittee is now
writing it's report showing just
how it came to look into the
charges. Senator Frelinghuysen is
represented as having had no per-
sonaI animus whatever against the
attorney general and as having
himself sponsored none of the
charges but certain documents had
been given him by constituents in
New Jersey which he believed
should be thoroughly Investigated
to determine whether or not they
contained valid objections.
Freylinghuysen to Face Test.
The test of whether. Senator
Frelinghuysen had no interest in
pushing the investigation other
than satisfying the wishes of his
German constituents for an inves-
tigation will come when the final
vote is taken on confirmation. It
was reported today that the New
Jersey senator would be the only
one to vote against Mr.. Palmer
Notwithstanding the senate sub
committee report But some of his
Republican colleagues say they
will be very much surprised If he
does. Mr.. Palmer however, will be
confirmed.

But the company hasn't any
places open. All of the jobs are
filled and most of them by men
who have been in the service of
the traction lines for several
months, at least.
The first vacant positions on the
tri-city lines will go to any car
men from Muscatine who want
them, according to an agreement
made at the time the strike was

which is here given: Ia
The most blessed heritage givel
us by our ferefathers is the constitu

it our government was first mad

which has marked this nation since

For one hundred and thirty two
years it has safeguarded the inter

know more about it. 1t is not a
pleasant commentary on our intelli-
gence to find that there is little init
mate knowledge Of the meaning of
the Constitution. From every pull
pit, rostrum and school room in Ida
no a new knowledge of the great
document of freedom and : safety

We have just won great war at

to make this victory complete the
Constitution should strengthen US
just as it. did following the wonderful
victory at arms of the Revolution.
A great lesson in the struggle of our
ancestors to safeguard this military
triumph through a Constitution can
be drawn today. This struggle
should awaken in US thirst to know
years following the war of the 'Revo-
luton, and preceding the adoption of
the Constitution, unrest, anarchy and
violence prevailed. The Congress of
that day was driven from its meeting
places, but finally the document was
and stability took the place
of riot. Today we are restless and
we must again lean fully and abso-
lutely on our Constitutions AS far
as it is humanity possible for gov

greatest minds in our country today
agree that the people of the United

ENCOURAGE THE RACE.

1t is to be hoped that owners
of Nenana motorboats, who have
aroused public interest in racing.
will be able to get together this
week and agree upon the conditions
upon which a match can be ar
ranged. They will find the public
ready to give enthusiastic support
to such contest, and one good
race almost certainly will he fol-
lowed by other races. The people
of Nenana are keen for that kind
of sport, and with an exceptionally
good course and many boats to draw
upon, there should be no difficulty
in arranging some kind of race
every week or so. The main thing
is to get start. Let US hope there
will be no slip-up in the present
negotiations.

Czecko-Slovakia.
Lady Muriel Paget, an English
woman, whose devotion to the
Czecho-Slovak cause is well known,
arrived here from Prague recently
after a months tour of the new
republic, and outlined to The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent her
scheme for the relief of that coun-
try. Her plan, which has the ap-
prevail if the Czecho-Slovak authori-
ties, is to enlist a body of able and
willing social workers to train the
women of Czecho- Slovakia in social
welfare work. Her ambition is to
interest patriotic Czech women in
America in the welfare of their
native land
There are, roughly, FIVE million
people in Czecho-Slovakia today who
have just enough to keep body and
soul together" Lady Muriel said.

GRADERS FINISH
ROAD CONTRACT
NEAR STANDARD

The grading contract awarded by
the Alaskan Engineering commission
early this year to George Kasoff &
Co, for a cut of considerable size
on the Nenana-Fairbanks line near
Standard creek, has been completed
by the contractors and they are
now in town for settlement. They
have the distinction of being the first
in that section to complete their
contract, which was awarded in
February.
Kasoff & Co. were not handi-
capped as were some of the con-
tractors nearer Nenana Their work
consisted chiefly of removing ma
terial from the cut and they were
not much disturbed by weather con-
ditions. Their chief difficulty was
in securing explosives, which have
advanced considerably in price, and
of which the Commission had none.
Other contractors along the Nenana-
Fairbanks line, on the other hand,
are building up the grade from Dor
row pits, and almost every shower
puts them temporarily out of bust
ness. The borrow pits fill with wa
ter and slough in to such an extent
that work during rainy weather is
practically out of the question, es-
pecially where horses are used. In
wet weather a suction dredge would
be more to the purpose.
The frequency of rains since the
commencement of the present sea-
son has held back the grading north
of Nenana to very great extent,
rendering the work doubly difficult
and disheartening the contractors on
more than one occasion. Building
grades from borrow pits along Gold
stream, they say, is a good deal
like navigating a leaky boat-they
are compelled to stop work and
bale water about every so often,
and sometimes the water runs in
faster than they can bale it out.
The belief is general, however,
that the rainy season is about over.
and with dryer weather the work
should move much faster.
The firm of Kasoff & Co. is com
posed of: George Kasoff, Alec Me-
doff. Alec Hanoff, Jim Kambol, Bat
Sabanoff, and George Romanof.
