Harding Will Not Go.

Churchmen recently were much agitated by
the fact that Governor Edwards, of New Jer
sey invited President Harding to be his
guest at the ringside when Jack Dempsey
and Georges Carpenter meet to decide the
heavyweight championship of the world. In
consequence representations have been made
to the president that he should not accept
the governors invitation. He also is begged
to do everything in his power to help stop
prize fighting The appeal was made to Mr..
Harding because the churchmen felt sure his
"Christian sympathies and dsdain for such
brutal gambling bouts" would cause him to
decline Governor Edwards offer.
The president may be depended upon not
to be at the ringside in New Jersey. 1t is not
a foregone conclusion however, that he would
not be glad of an opportunity to witness the
contest if he could do so with propriety. The
dignity of the executives position would not
permit him to witness what at best is brutal
display of human strength, agility and cum
ming AS a United States senator he might
have gone with less improperly. Senators
and representatives in congress no doubt will
be at the ringside, and it would not be sur
prising if some of them called upon one or
the other of the boxers ito kil' his adver-
sary 1t also is very likely that there will be
a fair sprinkling of governors in choice seats
when the international boxing contest is
staged. Col Roosevelt was a regular attend
ant at prize fights for years before he be-
came national figure, and learned boxing
from some of the best men in the business,
taking lessons in the so-caled manly art of
self defense" even after going to the white
house.
1t would not hurt President Harding to see
Jack Dempsey knock Georges Carpenter into
the middle of next week or to witness the
feat of the Frenchman stretching the Ameri-
can boxer fuil length for the count of ten 1t
would hurt his position, however. 1t would
attack his dignity, of which he needs much
in the conduct of his office 1t simply would
not do for Mr.. Harding to attend, much as
he might want to go, for he is the public
servant now and the public will not give its
permission AS to the story of the fight
that is another matter entirely. Mr.. Harding
may read all about it, and no doubt will, for
like all other Americans of both sexes and
of all ages, he will be interested in the out
come of the contest and, also like all other
Americans, he will devour every word written
about it till he gets enough

LETTERS TO THE NEWS.
THE CENTRAL'S TEST PASTURES.

Editor Dawson News: Please accept my
thanks for the very helpful mention of our
test pasture work which appeared in your is
sue OF May 10. The more people know about
what we trying to do the greater will be
the results, and such stories as you have writ
ten will certainly arouse interest in better
pastures
Your story is especially appreciated be-
cause it apparently originated without any
suggestion from anyone connected with the
work Really, it is little mysterious to me,
for you have stated the case and not only
thoroughly but exactly, and l am at loss to
know how you got the fact that all our six
tons of Lespedeza disposed OF and near
1y all of the other two grasses.
l have suggested to Mr.. J. A. Winslow,
our agriculturist in that territory, that on his
next visit to Dawson he call upon you, not
only to thank you for your kindness, but to
ascertain and report on how you happened
to get such exact information Yours truly

The electric light is invading the country
above the arctic circle and dissipating the
darkness of long winter nights. This is made
possible by the use of the storage battery
and its independent lighting system. recent
installation was at the Baptist mission on
Kodiak island, just south of Cook inlet, Alas
ka. The aurora borealis is wonderful but it is
not one whit more wonderful to the Eskimos
than the electric light. Thus does science
march, conquering, to the remote ends of
the earth.

TOASTS TO AMERICA.

Editor Dawson News: l am enclosing a

"In Paris the patriotic Americans came to-
gether to celebrate the Fourth of July in an
appropriate manner. When the toast, Our
Country" was given a gentleman responded
by proposing: "A health to the United States
bounded on the north by British America,
on the south by Mexico, on the east by the
Atlantic and on the west by the Pacific
ocean" The toast was drunk, but the COM
pany were not yet seated when another guest
requested that a second one follow which
would do the subject justice, and said, as he
raised his glass:
The United States, our country-bounded
on the north by the north pole, on the south
by the south pole, on the east by the rising
sun and on the west by the setting SUM-
The enthusiasm was great, and at the con-
clusion of the applause gray-haired old SOL
der who had served his country with fidelity
and spoke as follows: 1T grieves me greatly,
gentlemen, to hear my countrymen speak
with so much levity upon what should be a
serious subject and set such narrow bounds
to our countrys domain. Let us render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar's'-1et us
drink again to the United StateS-bounded
on the north by the aurora borealis, on the
south by the precision of the equinoxes,
on the east by the nebular hypothesis, and
on the west by the day of judgment"

Some men achieve distinction by what they
say, and others gain it by what they do not

when and how to keep silent says something
worth listening to when he chooses to speak.

putty Sheriff Burns came down from
