sriti.h Court. u 81 Aneie nt Origin.

b d. j n & : E1.tG
Among the courts Of ancient origin
IN Great Britain, most interesting
one still exists at Bristol, the last one
remaining Of the Pied Poudre courts
which were established more than 1OO
years ago at places where large fairs
were held, and attended by foreigners
The courts were provided, especially
II the fair was at a seaport town, to
deal with differences Of opinion which
were likely to arise between people
who could not understand each others
speech. They were called Courts OF
Pied Poudre or Dusty Feet, from the
dusty feet of the travelling bagmen and
peddlers whom it was intended: to help.
In time the Pied Poudre became
Pye Powder court.

Now that 1t appears to be req sonably certain that the coal min CTS of the country are determined 10 suspend operations on the first of April, II is not surprising 10 find federal commissions and courts in mood to start investigations of con ditions which should have been in vestigated long ago as . matter Of common justice 70 the men who have been driven to the extremity of striking in order to obtain recogni- tion of their rights. The News does not believe in strikes Of the sort contemplated, but that appears to be the only effective way of dealing with such a situation as has arisen in the coal mining industry.
 Governor Bone does not miss the mark very far when he predicts that Alaska coal will find it's way to the Seattle market within three months. But he shows that he is not familiar with conditions when he in inmates that the coa! will come from the Matanuska field. The exporta- tions, if any, will be made from the Nenana field. which contains the largest coal deposits in the world, now in process of successful devel- opment by private enterprise.

a chance to make good, after these many years of hardship and waiting. It would amount, in effect, to the confscation of the rights of those who have pioneered the way to real development, just as the rights of prospectors have been conhscat- ed in the Copper River region.
 The News does not believe that President Harding is the sort of man who would knowingly permit the establishment of a dangerous one-man rule in Alaska and he has given the assurance that he will defer action until he has visited the Territory, But he is a busy man and there Is much that must of necessity be left to others of his official household. And there is the danger also, that Congress and not the President, will formulate the final Alaska policy. In any case, 1t is matter that should receive the serious consideration of Alaskans
 The News does not want to be critical. but there Is a bit of incon- sistency in the effort that is being made to restore the army pay of the head of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission while plans are un- der way for a general reduction of wages among lesser commission em- ployes.

The new trail between Seward and Spruce Creek has been completed and is an acceptable proposition. There yet remains the small sum of $175 to be paid the contractor and those who are public spirited should not hesitate to give their donations.
 Although the businessmen have with in the space of the last few weeks been called upon to support some of the movements which require financ- ing the trail project should not be sighted; it means more for the fu- ture welfare of the town than any yet advanced. This fact is realized by the following businessmen or establish ments, who have contributed their quota.

IHE LOAFER DISCUSSES
NON SKID CORNERS

IF they don't stop fxin' up
Academy street pretty soon, some
body might think of building a new
School," spoke a venerable and re-
spected citizen of this worthy town
the other day. What prompted him
to such burst of oratory was the
work going on before him-that. of
rounding the curbs at the corner of
Main and Academy streets.
Without departing one jot or little
from the consistently serious vein Of
this paper, these non-skid, fool-proof
and indestructible corners are one of
the great additions to the town. In
coming out of Academy street to turn
up Main, there were heretofore just

a building worthy of Worlds Fair.
Is it not so?
1t is really and truly hoped, how
eversby many of the townspeople that
some announcement as to the prob
abilities of such an imposing build
ing will be soon Forthcoming.
1t is great improvement that has
transformed Academy street from
just plain old side street into what
is modernly known as thoroughfare.
Just wherein lies the difference be-
tween a street and a thoroughfare is
not quite plain, but Newark can be
justly proud of the transformation.
Now there is an even chance for the
motorist or pedestrian at the Opera
House corner, where heretofore the
odds were too risky to be even called
sporty.
