YOUNG BOYS EXPERT JOCKEYS
Monaghan Youths at Home in the
Saddle at an AstonishineIy
Tender Age.

If a daring traveller braves the dam
gers of a trip into Mongolia he is fas-
cinated by the natives at the time of
their summer festivals. Then every
Mongolian family puts on its best bibs
and fuckers and goes to the fair,
much in the same way the people in
our own country sections go to the
county fair. However, at the Mon
golian county fair one does not hit
the baby and get Il tive-cent cigar or
throw rings at canes to obtain prize,
but one does see horse races.
Instead of sitting in grand stand
and watching the entire race, as you
do here, you see only the start or fin
ish. For the races in Mongolia are
30 miles long.
The MOngOlians are great horsemen,
and learn to ride at very early age.
Their lives are spent with and on
horses. The women ride as we'll as
the men, and by the time boy has
reached the age of ten he is an expert
horseman. In fact, the jockeys are
ten-year-old boys.
These little fellows are mounted
on the very fast MongOlian ponies,
without saddles. Their only trappings
are Il bride, a whip and a handker-
chief
They start on their wild ride over
the Steppes with the courage and
spirit of men, whipping their horses
fiercely, but often reaching over kindly
to wipe the dust from the eyes and
nostris Of their ponies.

Peculiar Old ENGLISH Belief.

An odd custom which brought the
key and the Bible together was one
that used to prevail in England up to
within the latter quarter Of the last
century. 1t was called Key and
Bible" and was used for the detec.
ton of thieves. A key was placed
over an open Bible at the words,
"Whither thou goest. will go" Ruth
l :18) and the fingers of the person
being held so as TO form cross, the
text was repeated, The names Of
suspected persons we're then pro.
nounced in succession, and when the
name of the thief was uttered. the key
was supposed to jump and dance
about. An instance Of this method Of
thief-fnding was brought before the
magistrates at the borough petty ses.
sions at Ludlow as late as January
1879.

to the status of mere registering machine. And, above all, it is true that this country is suffering from plethora of reformers, mostly of the professional variety.
 But, when all this is admitted, there is no reason to despair of the future. As Nlr. Weeks himself said the mature judgment of the peo- pie is to be trusted. They may be caught nap ping for a time, but in the long run their in herent basic common sense will prevail. No more convincing illustration of the truth of this proposition need be sought than the diff ference between the initial and the final atti- tude of the United States toward entrance into he league of nations.
 A heavy burden of responsibility IS undoubt- edly carried by the American government dur ing these trying times, but, as President Hard inc said at Baltimore on Wednesday, if our generation is called to shoulder unprecedented burdens, it may also rejoice in unexampled strength The constitution is of fiber tough enough to withstand all assaults, and under its sheltering protection the nation will go on in pcrpetuity. It was not made to perish.

THE GOVERNMENT RAILROAD.

The Alaska railroad, even during the snort time it has been in operation over the entlre line from Seward to Nenana, has been able to do a great deal of good for interior Alaska. There is no doubt about that notwithstanding the fact that the ton-rate on many arlcles or freight is almost if not quite as high as It was before the railroad was Tn position to make throuph deliveries There IS an advan- taoe in being able to get shipments through nromptlv at any season of the year, permitting more freuuent turnover of capital and ellmn- atino much of the expense of storage, winch was considerable in the old days of all-Water +ransnortation The railroad is of benefit even 4o those remote sections along the Yukon rlVer aven though the cost of landing supplies there ;s considerably greater via Nenana than by St Michael for the reason that delivery ot shlp- ,nents can be made much earlier Tn the spring and later in the fall via the railroad. And, as Mr. Gerio points out in his communication, ap- ,,oarino elsewhere in this issue of the News, the fact that the railroad is in operation ana in a nosition of unload freight at the dock m Nnnana has had the effect of forcing the White Pass to revise it's rates downward along Inc Yukon river further revision would very promptly follow any attempt on the part of inc railroad to meet the competition via the lower river for the White Pass boats, With their down river haul of ore, can carry mer chandise back with profit at almost any rate the company elects to quote.
 If is unfortunate for the railroad that the White Pass is still operating its boats, even ;rreguarlv. on the Yukon river below Dawson Had the Canadian company withdrawn entlre lv from American waters when the railroad began operating, there would now be more tonnage to keep the railroad going; and there vonld have been established a new line of river boats, either by the government or oy some enterprising individual or company, to meet the requirements of Yukon river camps. Such a service would be more generally satls- factory than it ever will be under existing conditions, and the time will come when It Will be necessary for the government to provide adeouate connections between Nenana and Yu- lzon river points, both for the tonnage It will bring the railroad and the relief it will give those isolated sections which can not long thrive under the present arrangement.-Ne- mana News

IVES" OF "NO."

The issue raised by the merchant marine bill is very simple. It need not be- cumbered with details. This issue is whether the American people want permanent merchant marine or are content to let the one they now have shrivel and decay to the level of few years ago.
 The Tribune does not pretend to know whether or not the pending bill is wise in all it's details But it does know that 1t Is the re- suit of long and conscientious study by the best shipping brains we have. It also knows if this bill is not passed, that it is practical certainty that no other will be and that the great shipping project will come to an end. So congress and the public may properly disre- gard minute criticism and judge whether a merchant marine is worth what it is to cost On this issue we believe large majority of our people vote ''yes."
 The way to start great merchant marine, under private ownership but with the moral and financial backing of the government, is to start it. This is President Harding's policy. It is the right policy.

A NATION THAT ENDURES.

It may be objectedf to the address delivered yesterday by Secretary Weeks at the com mencement exercises of western reserve unl- versity that he takes too gloomy and passlmls- tic view of modern tendencies and asplra- lions. The fact that he was himself inclined to entitle his address "The Decline of the American Government" shows how serious IS the view which he takes of the situation.
 There is, indeed, only too solid ground for some of the complaints made by MT. Weeks It is true that the breaking away of political groups from the policy on which their party has come into power is in the highest degree deplorable and leads to the termination of re- sponsibility in government. It is true that there is much too pronounced disposition to tamper with the constitution by the intro duction of more and more amendments to that great document. It is true that interference by constituents with a senator or representa- tive in the exercise of his independent judg- ment on public questions tends to reduce him

Nearly one thousand travellers passed through Seward in one month going and coming to and from the states At no time in it's history has the spring rush started in as early this year. The men coming in rom all stations in Iife raroadng workers, mechanics fisher
 men, laborers capitalists all anxious to invest ther time and money in Alaska for fair return That they
 will receive ouid pro quo for their labors is certain No country on face of the globe today offers so much for a minimum of labor. In no country can the settler find freedom that exists here- The water and climate are heathful, the days long and sua- shiny in the summer and exherating in the winter and
 living very reasonable considering the distance from wholesale markets.-Seward Gateway.

During the first nine months of the present fiscal wear the net increase of or population through immigration was only 8O,O00 That IS less than 10000 per month and is proof of the effectiveness of the Republican immigrat on law n keeping down the tide from Europe: Cases of injustice arise under the law, and nrobablv no statute could be passed that could apply with equal fairness to every coun- trv and every immigrant, but the act now i'll force is an effective check against the unde- sirables from abroad. -.
