The Cali fornian, head of the committee on Territories, is taking greater and more comprehensive interest in Alas ka than any of his predecessors and 1t is to be hoped that his plan for abolishing the bureaucratic rule of Alaska, from a distance of four thous- and miles, will be accomplished. It is certainly the wish of all Alaskans that it should be done away with. - Ketchikan Chronicle.

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

Trotzkys military success in the Crimea and Lenine's diplomatic vic tory in London are outstanding in the Russian news. Wrangel has gone the way of Denikine and Yudenitch. His army, forlorn hope of the French in their Russian policy, has disinte- grated, thousands of the troops going over to the Bolshevists. Moscow has made much of the triumph, saying that nothing is left for Europe and the United States but to negotiate with the Soviet government The de- sired effect appears to have been ob tained in London. With Wrangel a fug tive in a French warship, Sebastopol, in the hands of the Reds and Semen off trying to get out of Siberia with his life, the British government has taken up the trade talk with Denine's envoys where it was left off during the RussPolish hostitlities.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER IT, 1920
ON BEING GROWN UP

Adults especially those getting on in years" almost invariably idealize their childhood Those happy days of childhood" is stock phrase of the sentimentalist We forget the troubles and sorrows which were real and in sufferable at the time and gave us keen pain, sharp huminiations and caused bitter tears. They seem tri- vial now we are grown up; they were not so to us then. Any sensitive per son has memories of the bangs of childhood, it's never-ending "Don'ts," :" it's seemingly senseless restrictions, its unmerited punishments. The very young may be, ought to be, happy, but beyond the absolutely irresponsible years, there is good deal of very real unhappiness from self conscious ness and wounded vanity. Despite youths cock suredness, peace of mind is often ruined by gaucherie, by shy ness, by the awkward or embarrass- ing thing or of finding the thoughts we had felt worthy and offered with diffidence ignored or corrected.
 AS we grow up we lose the sense of the happiness of being grown up. The knowledge of responsibility tempers our joy in liberty, it is not the intox1- eating bliss it used to be. Running away to spend the infrequent penny in surreptitious sweets was once a gay but fearsome adventure because we thought the pleasure of such disobe- dience a real joy When we can do as we like freedom loses it's zest be- cause with years we acquire con- sciences. We encounter a host of con ventions and restraints-the "don'ts' of our maturity and the mistakes we make as adults are more serious, the consequences less negligible. There is less pleasure in disobedience nor do we find the same joy in the forbidden. We look at the past sentimentally, at the future anxiously. Only people who keep the young heart and know the rapture of the forward view can appreciate the full joy of being grown up.

ANARCHY BY THE TON

Two radicals, said to be among the most dangerous in America, were ar rested in Chicago lately. Among their other paraphernalia of destruction was good half ton of anarchist lit erature, including a pamphlet advo- eating armed revolution by the for eign clements in this country. Hun dreds of thousands of these pamphlets had already spread out but were traced and are being held for the proper officials. Nobody knows how many are still undetected.
 These tremendous quantities of rev olutionary reading matter being sown broadcast over this country are a serious menace. They are permeat- ing every town and hamlet, farm and crossroads. They are creeping into colleges, being distributed in factories and shops, and slyly crowded into the hands of school children. This sin ister influence can only be combatted by equally comprehensive and care fully directed propaganda for loyalty and Americanism. The government cannot do this work alone. It is only when Americans individually and col lective realize the danger and act with the government that there can be any hope of checking it.--Missoula (Hont.) Missoulian
