Luke McLuke Says

Once upon a time a man married an American Beauty who had red hair, white skin and blue eyes. And little later on he saw stars.
 Before he gets her everything wrong she does is right After he gets her. everything right she does is wrong.
 If Mother can't start a fight any other way she will begin telling Father what a lot of fine men she could have married if she hadn't been big enough damphool to marry what she did.
 The 0. f. ten-year-old boy who want ed a goat and a wagon and a set O. harness now has a ten-yearold son who wants a six-cylinder roadster
 It has just about gotten so that if a man talks sense these days peo nle call him an old fogy and be- gin avoiding him.
 It is hard to keep a girl from going around half undressed when she gets an idea that she has a Good Figure.
 Love is something that makes q girl sit and listen to a fool man talk ing and imagine that he is saying something.

summer of 1915 when the division of opin- ion about rights and wrongs of war between German Swiss and French Swiss were so acute as to threaten the countrys safety and unity he made famous speech in Eur ich calling on all Swiss to have their own Swiss standpoint and no other. They ought, he said to cOntemulate reverenty and pitt fully the struggle proceeding in Europe from which their country was merifuly spared, and do what they could to alleviate it, but not take violent sides for either belligerent. None but Spitteer could possibly have ut tered such an appeal which produced excellent effect, although it angered Ger many at the time, especially as all Spittelers works were published in Germany and the Germans first appreciated and made him known. Such consideration, however, did not weigh with Spitteler.
 His chief works, all written in German, very few translated into French and none into English, are essays entitled, Truths Spoken in Jest" and Literary Resemblances," with numerous ballads, short stories and a partly autobiographical novel entitled "Imago." be- sides his well-known My Earliest Exper- iences' and his epic poems, "Prometheus and Bpimetheus" and "Olympian Spring.
 Spitteler has travelled considerably in Europe, but has never visited the United States. When President Wilson issued his fourteen points Spitteer declared them to be noble and original, but said the world was not yet ripe for them.
 In his appearance he is youthful looking considering his age, his features being char acterized by serenity and genialty, sly humor and shrewdneess blended with tolerance. At distance Spitteler might pass a Scotchman.

This titanic battle. which stretched through weeks and months really broke the spirit of the as saultng German legons. Here they ded on wave at grips with devotion that knew lmita- tions of sacrifice. Here it proclaimed "They shall not pass! Grim, selhess resolution of ncom- parable heroes, inspired by that spirit which hcld the pass at Marathon! And how they died! The world stood aghast in contemplation of this elemental chaotic battle the result of which to determne the fate of Western civilization Its magnitude took the propositions of separate warfare Here locked drank such drafts oftragedy only could have been rivaled by the horrors of the fabled destruction the world
 But they did not pass. And France has sent to as an honored visitor her representative delegate to the tercenenary celebration the landing of the Pilgrims. General Robert Nivelle the heroic defender of Verdun.
 No Frenchman could have been more welcome to this people than this man who proved himself to be the Nemesis of the ferocious German aggression
 He comes with the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and the five rows of service ribbons across lis breast. Did he earn them? Verdun is his answer
 Succeeding Petain, after the disastrous months If 1916, by series of daring and brilliant attacks le recovered all the precious terrain lost to the eAultant Germans during that period. As matter or fact, in very definite sense he and the sons of France with him wrote at Verdun the fnis of the Teuton dream.

STUDY THE CONSTITUTION.

The circular letter out by Commissioner oi Education L. D. Henderson, urging that special at tention should be given to study of the American Constitutioil, is timely. The Constitution oL Ihe United States has stood the test of the years Ohuer if the greatest self governing Nation the world ever has seen has grown and fourished It gives the peo- pie control of their country and provides system for procedure that permits orderly progress As Mir Henderson truly says:
 The Constitution of the United States is
 the product thousands of years of human
 experience. The 55 delegates to the Consti-
 tutional Convention who sat in Independence
 Hall, Philadelphia from May 25 to September
 r, 17S7, were men who knew not only col
 onial but world history. In tears and blood
 they themselves their fathers, and their
 fathers fathers for generations had worked
 out those principles of government which
 then enunciated.
 Those who framed the Constitution had just caught their breaths after Revolutionary War, a conflict that had ragged for eight years in behalf of human liberty, and when they set out to form Con- that would perpetuate the victory they had the battlefcds of that contest they fully com prehended their task and made no mistakes. They made certain that liberties of the people pro tected against class government whether it be a monarchist class, a capitalist class autocrasy of any sort anarchy. They a government in which those of all classes equal The erudite legal mind of Madison fashioned the working machinery, but the spirit that of the Revolution and the great Declaration of Independence upon which the revolu- tionsts based the for which they fought

SWISS POET WINS NOBEL PRIZE

The Nobel prize for literature for the year 1920 has been awarded to Carl spitteler the Swiss epic poet and essayer. The announcement of the award has caused the greatest possible satisfaction through out Switzerland. for no Swiss is more genuinely re- spected and beloved than he, nor more deseryedly The New York Times contains the following con- corning the personality and work of the prize winner.
 Spitteler, who lives a very quiet retired
 life on the lake shore at Lucerne was 75 years old last April, but is still vigorous for
 his age So simple and unassuming is he
 that he may be seen doing his own market
 ing in Lucerne any market day. carving
 home his vegetables and other market prod
 in a basket parcel net. His chief
 hobby is planting different kinds Of trees
 especially conifers which will grow
 best in his extensive ground.
 He has taken part in political life ex-

Juneau's Cold Storage.
(Ketchikan Chrnoicle. )


 Enterprising citizens of Juneau putting forth efforts to raise $65000 to which is to be added $350 900 Outside capital to build 60OC pound cold storage plant at the Territorial capital l. is to be hoped that they will be successful in ing the funds and in building the plant contemplated for it is going to add to the wealth of the fishing industry of the Territory. Ketchikan will welcome the new plant without fear of injuring it's fish ing industry
 Between the towns of Alaska there is no occasion for jealousy, for the resources sufficient to sup port them all and to permit them to grow without limit In fact the establishment of the plant at Juneau will have but tendency to keep the industry that rightfuy belongs to Alaska in Alaska instead of it going to foreign port It will give the fishermen competitive market in the Territory instead of without, and thereby protect them, and Mil at the same time not injure anyone of the cerns now doing business in Alaska.
 The example of Juneau, to go after industries vixen they do not come of their accord is one that may we'll be emulatcd by Ketchikan and by every other town in Alaska.
