EVERLASTINGLY SOUND

No permanent solution for European prob lems can come through outside suggestion It is futile for the United States to attempt remedies, either acting independently or through the League of Nations, as the inter- nationalists advocate The Old World troubles are too deep seated and have continued for too long time to be so easily disposed of. Moreover, interference in such matters is not sought and would not be accepted. The as sistance sought from America has never been of that kind Financial aid in one form or another is what foreign nations would like to get from the United States, while they con tinue to nurse animosities that frequently burst into wars and are responsible for pres ent conditions abroad.
 Secretary Huges presented the matter very clearly when he said in his Boston speech that ''The fundamental and pressing problems of Europe are political problems involving na- ton hopes and fears; deep seated convictions as to national safety and opportunity; nation al ambitions, in most cases long cherished, m others recently awakened; established pol- cies which have become postulates ln the thought of the peoples. Each nation IS It's own judge in such matters of policy, and, whether acting in or out of groups, will fo- low its own interests save as some special exigency may control
 MT. Huges might well have added national honor as being involved in the problems or Europe. That would have completed the de- scription of the political atmosphere into which our internationalist friends seek to pro ject the United States.
 We have been told that the League of Ma tions would become a vital force the moment this country should become member Does anybody imagine that American recommends. tions affecting the national honor safety, and ambitions of European nations would be re- ceived any more kindly if offered through the Leaegue than if delivered independentlyg In neither case would such action by the United States have any other effect than to inflame the iealousies of this country that already ranklc in foreign breasts. The Adminlstra- ton policy of non-interference in those alien problems is everlastingly sound.

THE FUTURE ALASKA

%-s-
 Back in 1867 the United States purchased Alaska for $7,20O,000 thereby adding to the nations territory 590,S8o square miles. Since then Alaska has produced in gold and silver more than 100 times the original cost of the Territory to the United States. It has pro duced in furs, 40 times this cost. In 1920 Alaska exported to the United States mer- chandise to the amount of $61 ,000,000, and imported from the United States the same year $37 100000 worth of merchandise. Its total imports and exports annually reach from $110,000,00O to $120,0OO,00O.
 Alaska is country whose future is bright. In the past it has been prized mainly on ac- count of it's mines and it's fisheries. Its min eral resources are as great and as varied as can be found in any other area in the world. Its wealth of timber still remains unsurveyed. Its agricultural potentialities are consider able. Only in recent years has farming re- ceived any attention and, according to the 1920 census, in all its vast Territory, there were but 364 farms, and of all the farm lands

A USELESS CONCENTRATION

A USELESS DEMONSTRATION
 A temperance lecturer displayed to his audience two geraniums. The first had been watered in the usual way. The other had been dosed with alcohol, and it's foliage was shriveled and sparse, it's stem twisted and it's vi tality decayed.
 "Now, ladies and gentlemen" cried the lecturer, "what can you say to a demonstration like that?"
 'It's all right, and if were a ger anium," said a shabby man at the back of the hall, "I'd stick to water, but you see, I'm not geranium."
 He-"You know could die dancing with you'
 She-"If it weren't for the notoriety, wish you would."$

Perhaps the most significant CT all

supposed to have had with Senator
Harry F. New apropos of the latter's
being discarded by the electorate of
Indiana at the recent primary. At
that time Mr.. New was full of the In

of politicians, for he felt that he was
wearing the decoration of the dou-
BILE cross, and was thinking hard

events, $4,000 year is not enough
to keep him in the White House an
other four years IL he is as much
disgusted with the pangs of the of.
flee as he seems to be. Moreover,
nobody has any thought that the cleo
ton of 1924 will be such a walkover
as was that Of 1920. The President
hates campaigning to begin with, and
perhaps the thought that he would
rather see somebody else wearing the

the report that he has served notice
that he will not again be a candidate

Although he has plenty Of senti-

merely because 1t happened to be
the first place he knew, and there
are no family associations that
would bring him back to it. His
father is a prosperous physician,
long divorced from the soil. There
are no children, and his brothers

not come into the picture.
Moreover, while sentiment might
dictate the buying back of the an

to the purchase Of additional acres
