 The Director General summarized the arguments made by the railroads for funding pointing out that present conditions put upon them the necessity of providing for abnormal expenditures of operation at the very outset. added If the Government refuses to fund this indebtedness which it created for the carriers, their problem and the publics problem in respect to transportation will be enormously barrassed"
 There is said to be disposition among Senators to criticise the plan suggested.

Such meeting of political authorities and ex. perts took place at the opening of the Institute Tor Politics at Williams College has not occurred be- fore within recent history has there been in any other period greater necessity for conference Ideas of which has remained solidiRed in Europe and the United States for century are in state of Aux and what new concepts to take the place of the old will rest with the decisions made and the ideals upheld during the present decade
 Roughly speaking, the political creed of the avSr- age citizen has simmered down conviction that government is either nuisance a necessary evil. men; they have functioned in the twentieth century with bungling and less efficiency than any other activity of importance. It becomes obvious that gov ernment at present organized is as much out of place among the industries and capitastic combna- tions of 1921 horse-car on the subway tracks Yet government is necessity; it cant be scrapped while men live by contracts and agreements. The concern must be patched up somehow and the work must be done while it is in motion

The most eminent of political scientists will bring their contributions to the discussion If they analyze the Governments of the earth and let the inhabitants know what has gone wrong with them, this is the time to do it.

PIONEER TAKES THE LONG TRAIL.

In the death of John L. Carlson Alaska loses a valued and valuable citizen who will be missed and sorrowed for by wide circle of friends only in the Territory but in other places where he known and loved He pioneer in the truest sense of the word and of the of empire builders
 Following the sea, it perhaps but natural that he should turn his energies and genius to the he early recognized the opportunity in that lines endeavor. Beginning in small way he proved the wisdom of his choice by steady substantial growth which eliminated in the sale of his property Harbor in 1918 for approximately half million dollars,
 Nothing typical of the than what followed. With money sufficient supply all of his needs and to provide handsomely for his family Mir Carlson could have retired from active pursuit of business and taken things easy for the remainder of his life. He was then at when men, ii able to do do forsake the fields active en- deavor and attendant worries. And that is what he the blood of the race of men who idle except when they answer the final roll call was too strong. Soon he had thrown himself back into the big game working as hard any half his age.
 Some may say that had he retired planned three years ago, he would have lived many years longer That is matter of speculation and 1t was not hi is way. He could not quit the game that he knew that brought him into contact with the people whom he knew and loved and who knew and loved him. He lived a mans life and did mans work. When the end came, the call found him his post carrying on as an empire builder. As such his death is distinct loss to Alaska.
 For his humanness, his big, open hearted spirit his kindliness and friendly nature for himself John l.. Carlson will be missed in the daily walk of life py egion or friends And the sympathy of these go out to his family in this their hour of sorrow 4s

TELLS Of CRIME
At WOODBRIDGE
DR.. Moore Says Press Ac-
counts of Crimes Should
be Free From All Details.
sneciai correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent
WOODBRIDGE, Jan. S--Dr.
Frank Moore, superintendent or the
New Jersey Reformatory at RAN
way. speaking at the last OF the spe-
cial meetings at the Presbyterian
church conducted during this week
of took as his subject,
The Wave of Crime" and declared
hat newspaper and magazine ac-
cunts of crimes should be sup
pressed from giving to much detail.
DR.. Moore in his talk gave his
own ideas as to how the existing
conditions could be bettered. He
compared the efficiency of the Lon
don police and their equipment
with the efficiency and equipment Of
the police of this country. In many
cities. he said. in the United States
one motorcycle constitutes the en-
tire equipment Of the police depart
ment. In case of disorders, he
said. one man must go forth on this
motorcycle and cope with a band or
bandits who are well armed. Inc
superintendent urged the people TO
favor a more liberal expenditure TOT
police equipment so that their W
homes and lives might be better
protected.
"TOO many magazines, Ii NAoCAc
declared, dwell too much in detail
upon the mi in which crime Is
committed" Certain magazines. ne
pointed out, are not allowed by him
in the reformatory, as he does not
care to have the inmates read the
vivid accounts of how crimes are
committed. The doctor said he mad
clipped several of these articles from
a magazine and sen them to n
editor, explaining his ideas on n
subject of too much detail. A re-
turn letter from that editor. he said,
had informed him that the editor
had never looked upon h matter
in that light and he promised In the
future to cut as far as possible all
crime details.
DIR. Moore spoke of the different
types of men admitted to a REFORM
atory. He declared he was of the
opinion that when a man was COM
mitted to the r~eformatory he should
not be entertained" but be made
to work. "A man is not on a va
cation when sentenced to the re-
formatory," he said. land although
he should be treated well he should
be Obliged to work"
Before closing DR.. Moore asserted
that the daily newspapers were de-
voting too much space to crimes,
and entered into too many details
on the manner in which they were
committed. TOO much prominence
is given these articles" he said.
