SMARTY SMITNERS

Smarty Smithers bought an auto, and he started out to ride, with his registration number and a cigarette besides. And he climbed the hills and mountains in his phaeton each day, going down into the valley often- times upon his way. Smarty Smith, CTS was a fellow who believed in driving fast, but he never had to worry in regard to fines at last, for his dad had lots of money and he paid them for his son; anytime twas necessary, he could pay another one! Smarty Smithers was delight ed when he stepped upon the gas, heading off the other fellow, who was trying hard to pass! AS his Daddy owned the railroad, Smarty thought he owned the road, so he drove along the center, road-hog methods were his code! So the mo- torist behind him had to follow with delay, till he turned around the corn CT at the parting of the way Smarty Smithers reached the crossing as the train was coming in; and he heard the whistle blowing there amid the smoke and din! He be- lieved in taking chances, so he nev- CT stopped at all, till he reached the middle section, then. his engine seemed to stall There's a reason why he's never driven from that day to this! You ask the undertaken for a full analysis.

GAME LAW ILLEGAL

Tie Supreme Court of the United States has held that the Constitution of the United States is in force and applicable to the Terri tory of Alaska. Article 1, Section l of the Constitution places the law-maklng power ln the hands of the United States Congress- Ths, by decision of the Supreme Court, IS held to mean that law-making power in the terri tories is vested in the United States Congress except where the same is delegated to the territorial legislatures and that with the eX- ception of the territorial legislatures, no law making power may be delegated. The pro- nosed game bill now before Congress, born of the Biological Survey and nursed by the Agrl- cultural Department, proposes to delegate the power of making game laws to the Secretary of Agriculture.
 A proposal to institute new game law through the orderly process of an act of Con eress would be fit and proper. Many of the provisions of the old law are unsuted to con- ditions in the north. If the Biological Survey has any suggestions to make to that end, le- ca]itv would suggest that they be presented to the Delegate from Alaska, with the request that they be incorporated in bll But the nolicv of any Bureau to assume the laW-mak~ ino power will be subject to attack as contrary to the provisions of the United States Constl> tuition.

HE BOOM ABOUT TO BLOOM

A business boom is approaching this coun- hy which will make the poor old Roma look like the bubble in hypodermic needle. Will industrial strikes be permitted to infict on it the fate which met that airship? The govern Irent says No! 'Government insistence that the nation is rapidly approaching stage where domestic needs will bring about great business boom, which must be adequately handled, constitutes the controlling influence toward settlement of the mine and rail strikes '' says an article in Washington paper. To meet this promised demand manufacturing plants and industries of all kinds must be kept running, and to be kept running they must have coal and transportation. This fact, say government officials will bring an end to both strikes very soon.
 The boom itself is of course being brought about by the return to more normal condl- tons, the economy of the government in handl- inc it's business, the rise in the value of bonds as the people become more confident in the Administration, the disposition on the part of European countries to get down to business and settle, their financial difficulties, having learned that the Administration under liar ding will not stand for cancellation, the i'm migration law which keeps out the flood of cheap European labor, the protective tariff policy and score or more of other legislative measures which have been written into law by the Republican party.

MALIGNING THE NATION

:sWhi]e the Allies have been brankruptlng Germany and bankrurting themselves Wltll heavy taxes for enormous ornaments, the United States has stood by, refusing to lend a hand to save the situation.'
 Such is a statement published recently by the Omaha World Herald in criticism of the -,,,ceort Administration The statement IS not justified by the facts.
 The United States has taken the lead Tn everything that has been done looking toward q practical plan of reducing expenditures tor armamonts. The proposed League of Nations was league for war, not for peace. Presl- dent Harding called the Washington confer ence at which the leading nations of the earth as,reed upon plan of reduction of ornaments and the news columns of Hitchcock's paper navt carried accounts of the plans of scrap rins. ships not only in this country but in otl1- CT countries party to the treaties. Newspapers throughout the country have published pie lures showing the process of destruction of slips of war. The United States and other na- tions have made provision for reduced person. mel in both army and navy, and this was made possible through the initiative of the United States.
 But the statement above quoted is untrue, if applied to industrial America instead of to the government Statistics of our foreign trade show that in the last fiscal year we sold Eu- rope goods to the amount of $1 200, 100000 in excess of the amount of goods received from Europe In the year previous we sold 10 Europe goods to the amount of $2,5OOOOO,- 900 in excess of the amount of goods we re- ceived from Europe. We certainly did not get the balance in cash, SC we must have sold that amount of goods on credit In the past two years long after the war ended, we gave Flu rope credit of $3, 100000, 900 when she already owed us in government and private accounts some twenty billions of dollars.
 And that is not all. We have not only tried to help Europe through our governmental ac- tivities, and through our captains of industry.
