GAMBLING EPIDEMIC EVERYWHERE

Gambling is epidemic in the effete Outside, the daily dispatches say.
 "Isn't is awful!'
 And the ladies, once started are said to be worst of all. The average woman, they say, when bitten by the gaming bug, will shoot Saint Peter for the key to the Pearly Gates. Even the children are at it and special officers are employed in many places to keep them from rolling the bones.
 Worry not, o Moralist, human natur' today is what it was yesterday and thousand years ago. We are better civilized, more refined, but scratch develops the primitive Impulses and herd instinct does the rest.
 The remedy for the wild life of the cities will be found not in crusades, revivals and oppressive measures, but in the restoration of family discipline, the influence of home school and church.
 The school is helping, far beyond the degree that the people imagine, for it is largely the place of the home in the training of our chll- dren.
 Reflection will impel a feeling of gratitude and admiration toward the patient, tolng and loyal teachers, who day and day are directing the destiny of America and the world. All honor to them, here and everywhere. They should be first in the hearts of the community, and are entitled to solid support in all thelr difficult work.
 Usefulness is the only real test of civic worth. By that measure, the school teachers lead all in social rank and citizenship.

CORDOVA TOASTS THE NAVY

IT ATS OFF to the Navy Department! TT Having put the necessary 'pep' into the work of developing the Chickaloon field and then transferring it to the Interior Department, it now begins the testing of the Bering River coal, for naval use, at katalla. A battleship is coming north to make the steaming test before August 1.
 Old King Coal is a jolly old soul-a merry old soul is he! He yet will sing a chanty in which Boring and KatalIa will rhyme with prosperity.
 Lucky the day. now broadening, when our undefeated and invincible Army and Navy turn the use of their forces to the primary de- velopment of the Nations natural resources.
 Rejoice!
 The Boring coal is high grade, of particu- larly good steaming quality. Uncle Sam will be ticllled by the tests, and the subsequent de- velopment, sure as sunshine, will broaden the smile on Alaska s face and put money in every body's pocket.
 Cordova toasts the Navy-first in war, first in peace, and first in the hopes of the North land!

LIFELINE FOR THE OUTSIDER

The family situation of the average man out side is summed up accurately in Hugh Wlley's couplet:
 ''Hell-b bound on the primrose road.
 One-hoss sinner wd a two-hoss load.'
 To the strong ones who would escape the crush the invitation is extended: Save up, and come to Alaska, where the yoke of living is easy and the burden of life is light.
 The brown bear is out of his den and is pleading with the porcupine: "Climb down, honey, the watkins fine." And the porcu- pine, says he: "Git away from here, Bruin, get away from my tree, or I'll make pin cushion out of thee."
 The wolverine whines at the rabbits den: My honey, my love, my hearts delight, hits a mighty col win an rainy night. Lemme in!'
 Persimmons, like those in Dixieland, luscious when the frost falls, should grow to perfec- ton, if introduced everywhere in Alaska, providing good food for man and beast. The persimmon grows wild, like the paw-paw. Let's import some plantings from Kentucky and Tennessee.

UNCLE SAM IS ROLLED

Our Uncle Sam is rolled over the oil com bne between Britain. France and Holland. He is sending Admiral Chester over to Turkey to take another peep at certain potential fields which the Admiral found and claimed for America during the Roosevelt administration
 Bon voyage, Admiral! Go get 'em
 It will take a better combination than me- juice, frog-hair and wooden shoes to hamstring Uncle Sam's industries.
 What a fine demonstration of international ingratitude. Erstwlile France was walling for rescue. Haig was crying, "Our back is to the wall'' Back went the roar of mighty Amer ica: '|Hold the fort-we']l be with you, pres entlv five million strong.'' And then the howl of dismav from the Germans: "rThe Tanks ARE coming! The Yanks ARE coming!''
 Victory-and even now we are bringing home our dead And the same cable whispers news of scheming and framing, on the part of the rescued Allies, whereby they vanly hope to control the worlds oil supply and compel Uncle Sam to pay an annual tribute of a bill lion dollars!
 It can't be done. In peace, as in war, Amer ica is invincible In Europe, in the Orient at the North Pole, at the South Pole, her sons will "carrv on' Wherever there is work to do for civilization, to safeguard the prosper . ity of America, there will be found the wide awake Yankee, showing them how and holding his own.
 At Astoria recently vice-president of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, when asked for news of Australia, smilingly replied: 'The Tanks are drilling for oil at several likely places in Australia.'
 After letting this sink in, he added: "And I'll wager they'll find it, too"
 While the reporter was "lighting up," thoughtfully the visitor pensively remarked: : ''The Yank don't you know is devil of fellow!''
 Uncle Sam needs the. reminder, however that oil development, like charity begins at home. There's vast supply at Katalla, near Cordova, in the land of the midnight sun.

An Amazing Record
(From the New York Tribune). i.

The fiscal year 1922 ends on
June 80 next. Figures given out
yesterday by the Treasury Depart
ment indicate that the actual ex-
penditure for the year will be
81, 700, 100000 less than the ex-
penditure for 1s2O-2l. This is the
biggest fact in politics today and
the strongest evidence OF a success

ministration with the all-important
problem OF vernmental defation.
In General Dawes special report,
sent to the House OF representatives
on May s last, he estimated the
probable reduction OF expenditure
this year at s1.6155, 900. It ap-
pears now that the Treasury will
do a little better-much better, in
fact, than II expected to do a year
ago. The extraordinary energy and
determination of the Director of the
Budget Bureau have brought about
the maximum OF saving within the
departments on appropriations al
lowed by Congress, and the Treas
ury has been favored by the writ
ing off or postponement of certain
obligations which were anticipated
when the appropriation bills were

DaughertyS Detamers
(From the Pittsburgh Leader).

The political bias Inspiring the at
tack on Attorney General II. NJ.
Daugherty by Democratic Senators
is so evident that any fair-minded
person who gives the matter any
thought can recognize It.
There are many busy people,
however who have not time to
glance beneath the surface, and
these may be misled by the noise
while the Leader holds no brief
for the Attorsey-General, It does
believe that an honest newspaper IL
In duty bound to resent and resist
unjust and cruel defaming Of honest
and capable public men.
The attack by certain Democratic
Senators on Attorney General
Daugherty Is based on the allega-
tion that Mr.. Daugherty. while prac-
tlclng law in his private capacity,
acted as one OF the attorneys in Sc
curing a pardon for Charles w.
Morse. who had been sent to prison
for violating the Federal statutes.
No person whose mind is free
from the taint Of partisan insanity
can sincerely distort such a charge
into anything criminal or unethical.
The laws OF the United States and
OF every State recognize the right OF
any person convicted OF an offense
to apply for a pardon. Further, the
law sets up special machinery for
the granting Of pardons by creating
pardon boards and designating GER
tain officials who have the right to
grant pardOns.
The law also provides that ap-
nlicants for pardon may be repre-

A Country Without the
Labor to DO Its Work
(From the New York Herald.)

The figures, which the government
has made public on the results OF
the restrictive immigration law now
in effect bode no good TO this coun-
try.
The significant fact about the
workings or this measure is not
merely that in nine months there
was an increase in our alien popu-
lation OF only $4,000 because while
241,000 were coming in $4,000
were going out. The bigger fact
and the alarming fact is what those
figures OF arrivals and departures
reveal as TO the kind OF foreigners
that came TO us and the kind that
left us.
The arrivals from Italy, for ex-
ample, have been one OF our main
supplies OF day labor for nearly a
generation. But the governments
immigration tables for the nine
months show that more Italians left
the country than came to It. the fig
ures being $4,000 outgoing to 10000
incoming. The czechs and other
peoples from southeastern Europe
thai have been supplying much Of
our labor in the mines departed in
so per cent. larger numbers than
they arrived-12. 900 to 5000. Even
the Poles. who have contributed
largely to our common labor require
ments on the railroads and in the
mnes. showed $1,000 going out to
only 5000 coming in.
On the other hand. the Hebrew
immigrants arrived in the numbers
OF nearly $4,000. while barely 500
departed. and the Hebrews come
here not 10 dig and build at manual
labor but 20 trade or TO manufac-
ture. II is so with the Dutch and
Flemish. who as newcomers out
nearly two to one the out
yoers. And the same thing is true
ot the English and French, who
,ane in three times the numbers
hey went with more than 10000 to

Every lawyer considers such en-

knows that there Is positively no
violation Of ethics in accepting a
fee from an applicant for pardon
and faithfully representing such an
applicant.
Some Of the most respected and
most highly esteemed lawyers OF
