People are just beginning to feel normal again since the terrible fire week ago, and those who were affected by it, are planning new homes and bearing their reverses with fortitude. Pete Johnson left Sunday for the ranch, where he is building a barn ,and will then begin cutting timbers for Kennecott. Mrs. Mrs. Johnson is occupying Aaron Srickson's house, which he placed at her disposal. She is hoping to make arrangements in few days to rent suitable building and reopen her boarding house. They will re- build the hotel, but not till next spring.
 Through John E. Barrett, agent for w. w. Harvey, Mrs. Kennedy has purchased the building on Front street, formerly occupied by Mrs. Damon, and has had it entirely re- papered and renovated. She moved in yesterday.
 At a meeting of citizens held last Saturday evening to discuss fire pro- lection it was decided to commupi- cate with Valdez fire department to ascertain if hand pumps can be procured. Messrs. Woodman. Kavan- augh and Snyder are the committee in charge.
 MT. and Mrs. A. J. Adams of Cor dova, are Mccarthy visitors this week end. MT. Adams, who represents var ious fire insurance companies is making a visit of investigation. AS former mayor of Cordova and promin- ently interested in the chamber of commerce at that city, MT. Adams is considered quite an authority on c1vics and any information we can glean from him along these lines, will be very valuable.
 In the commissioners court last Tuesday before U. s. Commissioner c. A. Spongberg, K. Kennedy was bound over to the grand jury, under s2,OOO bonds for violation of the Volstead act. AS the grand jury has been dismissed for this May term of court this case will not come up till the

Monument to the Unknown Dead.

Rivalry between cities to secure the burial place
Of Americas Unknown Warrior" threatens to
merge patriotism in a petty and undignhed civic
struggle for monument. In meeting the nations
desire give its ultimate tribute of honor to the
vous with DEATH" it is surely not too much to
ask the elimination of local politics and that Con-
gressmen refrain from contestng in a manner more
suitable the activities of getting postofice for
the home town or additional creek dredging
The entombing Of the unidentified soldier at
Arlington would mean, not a distinction for any
particular city, but the logical and finely conceived
fitting place could he enter upon his long rest
than among his comrades in vaour whose names
are golden threads in the fabric of history.
Elsewhere, the significance of the monument
would be dwarfed its national import weakened
perhaps made subordinate a certain local celeb
rity This memorial cannot properly be restricted
to the scope of a city monument 1t is the express
sion OF a people and should be placed in a setting
that will enhance its national meaning.
The namcless soldier, whose tomb will reflect
the fame of his fellows, cannot rest in better
place than upon the easy slope of Arlington that
drops toward the serene Potomac. In the back
ground will be the fine old mansion which held
some of the finest ideals Of the old South
His long home will overlook the Capital City

Stop Death Driving.

Was Safety week" on the streets of Washing
ton merely a spasm? Did the police activity born
in that week, die with it? Were all the schemes
and plans devised then to make the streets per-
manently safe, but another spasm?
However these questions may be answered.
is evident that conditions OF unsafety are as bad
as ever, if not worse. 1t does not take the long
list of accidents, the almost daily deaths, to show
this. Anyone with eyes to see, knows il.
The speed fends have resumed control. Cars
tear around corners and along the streets and
nues with a total disregard for the safety of pedes
trians, OF each other. The wonder is not that
there are many accidents, but SO few. Human
life seems cheap, when it be taken at will By
the careless reckless and indifferent.
If there really traffic laws in Washington,
it is time of them enforced. Maybe
those who walk to blame. At least they are
the only who pay any penalty. They pay in
their lives or in broken bones.
Why not enforce few minor penalties the
drivers and car owners. The in the can
not be wholly absoved for what his driver does.
One of them, or both should least be deprived Of
the option Of paying fines.
Straight Jail sentences revocation OF driving

will stop making the streets a shamblcs.

An Act of Justice.

That Congress will restore the $24o bonus to
Washington policemen and fremen is very graf
flying. 1t is simple justice and proves that Con-
gross seldom gives final consent to what can be
shown and is shown to be unfair and detrimental
to quite vital service.
These Washington departments have fixed
pay scale far below that for services in other
cities of comparable size. The bonus is not the
best nor the right way to meet this condition. 1t
should be done by increasing the fixed scale.
But under the present conditions, the bonus sys-
TEN is the only recourse Congress has responded
to this fact when shown that this method Of in
creased pay is essential to maintenance Of the pres
cnt standard in both departments and that it is also
but what is right and just to their splendid per-
sonnel.
1t is to be hoped that before the close of the
year the fixed scale will be adjusted to give
these men the pay they deserve, placing them on a
parity with those of other cities. The next Con-
gress would doubtless confirm what would be the
judgment of the Commissioners.

Mr. Wilson's Cast-off Shoes.

Having chased themselves around the stump
the Republican leaders seem to have decided to
lake possession OF President Wilson's prewar posi-
ton in international affairs. 1t is not long ago
but that this position be recalled.
During the I9I4-I7 period Mr.. Wilson held that
the war was concern of the United States 1t
was over matters in which we had no national part
or interest. That this country must remain in its
historic isolation and let Europe fight its OWN
fights and settle its differences.
He fully expressed this policy when he said as
to Mexico, that it business OF ours how
much Mexican blood was spilled by Mexicans in
the settlement OF their own affairs. 1t was in
short the duty OF the United States to mind its own
business attend to its knitting, and as it were
wrapped in the solitude of its originality it
must be but onlooker to the rest of the world
If current and undenied reports true, the
coming Republican administration is to assume this
same position. 1t is to stand in the cast-of shoes
OF Mr.. Wisfh. 1t is to scrap the Versailles treaty
declare seAarate peace with Germany and later
negotiate treaty of commerce

little nations. ...s
