CONSIDER THE PORCUPINE

While considering nations disarmament take long, reflective look at the fetsve DOT cupine. Here he is, a small, slow-moving crea ture, with edible flesh coveted by the bear and the wolverine, lion and lynx also by men-the king of animas-and God, in kindiness for His humble creation, has provided it with arm ament, deadly needles at every exposed spot.
 All nature revolts against the theory of the pacifst that universal peace is a possibility Preparedness is the first order in nature Every creature in the jungle is equipped with ar mament Only the worms in the earth are incap- able of self-defense and even these eXude a microbic poison.
 The Almighty expects man to fight for srl- premacv All nature is red in tooth and claw
 Two telegraph operators, one at Memphis and the other at Vicksburg, were pals on the wire until, one day, in the rush of business, one lost his temper and used an opprobrious apithet Instantly the offended man dared him to a duel. They agreed to meet at a half way station. Being unacqualnted with each other, one was to wear a red rose and the other a white one. They were to clash at a station where two trains met The Vicksburg man aliglted from his train wearing a large white rose, according to promise. The Memphian was stroling about with no rose visible and a blackjack in his pocket. At the first favor able opportunity, while the Vicksburgian was proclaiming the cowardce of his foe, he got rap on the burr of the ear that laid him out for week.
 That's the way it may turn out with the dis armament treaties.
 Safety first demands preparedness.

a scandamonger, whispering to us
 0 here, in the great clean Northland, all the scandal and villiany that can be found in decadent quarters on the Outside. Her big ears are strained to hear everything that's crooked and vile and wrong. A thousand different sto- ries of constructive importance and vital in terest are overlooked entirely, while the news hounds pursue feverishly the dark shadows of the underworld and the hectic fantasies of abnormal life
 Churchill $ picture of the hag applies:
 "A prattling gossip on whose tongue
 Proof of perpetual motion hung
 Whose lungs in strength all lungs surpass
 Like Satan's trumpet made of brass
 Sees, hears, tells, untold before,
 All that she knows. and ten times more.'
 The quotation is ineXact, perhaps, but It fits like the paper on the wall.
 The Alaskans dislike scandal. Living here in clean new country, surrounded by grand and inspiring scenery, contemplating at all times the majesty of the universe, its beauty and natural perfection, and the loving kind ness of an omnipotent Creator, they have an adherence for the discord and disgrace which characterize human conduct so extensively ln the centers of population outside.
 We want more news of the activities of the Fdis0ns and the Tesas, the creative workers Of America, the builders of the new era, and an irreducle minimum of the fatarbuckles and all other criminal monstrosities.
 'Thev sav-' whispers the cable, and then lookout for scandal, something "rch and iuicy'' from the underworld. That kind Of fodder appeals only to the morbid. It is dis gusting It is vile. It is reprehensible and in tolerable It is stench in the nostrils of all decent people. Away with it!.
 In a more enlightened day, when public knowledge compels reform, it will be an of- fense under the statutes, with drastic penal ties to disseminate as news the suggestive de- tails of crimes and scandals. These evils re produce themselves by suggestion all over the world. They spread a pail of horror and dis gust throughout society. They appeal to the lowest motives to which humanity will re- spond. 70 tempora, o mores'' is the dis couraged cry of every clean-minded person, on perusing the hectic pages of "big news paper'' from the outside. There's nothing big about them, except the volume of paper, and most of them are fit only to wrap up a dead rat, or light fire.

WEEKLY LUNCHEON A BIG HELP

Cordova business men have inaugurated, for mutual benefit, a weekly luncheon, at which they will exchange views on community ques tions, and enjoy something good to eat. This will be source of great benefit, undoubtedly. It is an ancient practice, always found advan- tageous Out of it will grow soon, let us hope, live-wire Rotary or Kiwanis Club, with add ed facilities for mutual hepfulness and far reaching lines of outside influence.

THE SENATE TALKS

The Senate sits on the lid of hell
 Talking, Busily occupied for a spell
 Talking. Europe is shaky, credit is gone, Famine threatening, gaunt and wan, But the Senate noisily keeps right on

LANDING FIELD FOR AIRCRAFT.

There's level tract of land at the head of Lake Eyak not heavily timbered mostly will lows, of which probably 75 acres easily could be cleared and made available as a landing field for aircraft. The baseball park also might serve, but it is subject to high winds occasionally. '"
 This is one thoughtful citizens response to The Times reminder that this coming need must be considered. Cordova is going to be an airport The same is true of every other city in Alaska. Outside, when this subject is mentioned, the usual ignorant comment is: "They have no landing-fields in Alaska-all mountains.' Nonsensical, of course.
 Cordova $ island gem near the Ocean Term inal, dubbed Spike for conversational conven- fence, probably will be used as an ideal site for coal bunkers auxiliary to the big dock. It has deep water on the off shore and trestles can be built to it from the land side.

sCHOOLBOYS CAN HELP ALASKA

Now is the time for boys and girls in the Alaska schools to make an effort by core spondence for Alaska. By developing a core spondence with outside acquaintances they can reach practically the entire country with the message of the Northland-all the facts con cp1ning it's conditions, resources and opportun- ities
 Laurence Barrett of Mccarthy, If, for in- stance, is student in Detroit, Mich., and his address is 1427 Hubbard avenue. Cordova boys should write him a letted and start cor respondence, whereby he might be able to 'tel the world" about Alaska, and the home boys would learn about Henry Ford's town the home of the universal jitney.
 This is practicable suggestion for imme- can widen their view of America and contrib diate action By adopting it the school children ute materially to the publicity of the North land Letters of the young folk will reach the heart of the home.
 In every school outside there are many boys and girls who are eager to know about Alaska, and our students are equally interested Ill the Great Outside Here's a way to exchange beneficial correspondence. Teachers Tn the schools will help, of course.
 Boy Scouts can make hit, for themselves and everybody. by starting system of letter writing on Alaskan subjects.
 Speaking of Laurence Barrett, he's vigor- ous booster for his homeland and always has an apprecative audience. Best of all he has something worth talking about.
