In view of the prophecies early spring as to the enormous number of Outside people who would Vlst Alaska the actual number of these visitors although greater than usual disappointing. That expecta- tions were fulfilled due in large measure to the railroad strike Many reservations we know were of this and it very likely that fully half those who had planned on making the North ern trip were deterred by the railroad trouble.

 All the world despises a coward. Not even the criminal has respect for the officer of the law who shirks his duty. All the world despis es a traitor. Not even among the beneficiaries of his treason could Benedict Arnold find as sociates.
 If the call of duty will not induce an ex- ecutive to enforce the laws, the fear of ob- loquy should spur him to action The public servant who becomes a traitor to his trust has no future better than the ostracism and ignominy of Benedict Arnold unless he has the decency to shorten his career by follow ing the example of Judas Iscariot.

A PROPHET EMBARRASSED

Once upon a time, recently, Prophet Saxton sat down in street car beside a pudgy little man of five years. Sax has kids of his own, so it was natural that he struck up an immediate speak ing acquaintance with the little chap. The kid had rompers, short ones, and likewise short stockings
 Sax gave one of the little legs a bit of a pinch. "Who has got nice fat legs?" he asked.
 My mamma" replied the kid.
 And Sax beat it.

"Why have I never marrled? the old bachelor said in reply to leading question.
 "Well, once upon a time, in a crowd, I trod on a lady's gown. She turned furiously, beginning, You clumsy brute!' Then she smiled sweetly, and said, oh, I beg your pardon! thought you were my husband! No; it really doesn't matter in the least!' And when I came to think it over, l decided that maybe I'd just as we'll let marriage alone"

DEMAGOGUERY

There is so much of demagoguery in the public utterances of public men-so much ot bunkum in what is meant for public consump- tion-that one sic1ens of the flamboyant stuff The recent ely-heralded declaration of Senator Borah, and the equally oud-trump- eted comment upon 1t by Labor leader, af- ford a case in point Declaring himself "thor- oughly in sympathy with any plan to preserve unhampered the guarantees founded on the Constitution" Senator Borah was loudly hail. ed by John O'DOwd, chairman of the Shop mems Central Strike Committee, as deserv- ing E'thanks from every 1hcrty-loving Amerl- can for his fearless criticism of the Daugherty- Wilkerson injunction" All of which makes stirring reading-and means nothing. Mir. Borah's sentiments are admirable. Oratorical and balleyhoo, they make a loud noise and commit Mr. Borah to nothing whatever. And promptly seized upon by Labor leader, they are megaphoned back to a listening world as champonng the rights of every liberty y-loving American-which in its turn means nothing, but also makes loud noise Between the two. the poor ''liberty- -loving' public has almost no chance at all.

FAILURE OF EXECUTIVES

In ordinary times ordinary men can per form executive Functions. Men who have sought the high office of governor of State and have been entrusted with it's duties and responsibilities have assumed to possess more than ordinary fitness for the position. More over, they have taken solemn oath to support the laws and constitutions of their States as chief executives. Upon them, therefore, rests a special responsibility which they can not evade.
 The maintenance of peace and order is primarily a State and not national govern mental function. Only when the power of the State proves inadequate is the national gov er,ment called upon to act. The fact should

The Wentworth Kemper Game
Will Be The Outstanding
Feature.

The second annual ''homecom-

vents which have been planned
for that day will make it an oc-
casion long remembered.
Much interest centers around
the return of many former ca

Wentworth Alumni will leave
nothing undone for the enter
tainment of the "old boys" who
come back. And they are COM
ing backl No doubt about that

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
Preparations Have Been Made
For Annual Roll Call.

AL PANPOA 0NAOAAo AoNS NSONA
made for the Annual Roll Call
Of the American Red Cross,
which must necessarily be COM
pleted long in advance of the
opening Of the campaign, be-
cause the Chapters reach nearly
around the world; the slogan,
Every American everywhere al
member of the Red Cross" had
been unanimously approved and
the work of Roll Call organiza-
tion began with the purpose of
gaining a membership Of 5,000,-
900 for 1923.
Then, as suddenly as it was un-
expected, came the call from
Smyrna for succor for half a mill
ion innocent sufferers driven to
the waters edge by the Hicto-
rious Turkish troops. Thus
came war into the midst Of the
American Red Cross engage
ments of peace, and with an in
sistence upon relief that could
not be denied.
The call found the Red Cross
prepared for service and while
the Chapter at Constantinople
plunged whole-heartedly into
the breach, National Headquar-
ters at Washington took imme-
diate steps to meet the terrify-
ing situation growing out of the
crisis. Within a short time A.
lmerican Red Cross relief work
!, ers were sent to Athens; its nur
ses in Europe were working il
the refugee camps; shiploads o.
food, clothing and medical sup
plies were started for Greel
ports, and over three-quarteri
of a million dollars in Red Gross
funds had been committed TO,
this great relief work.
The response of the American
Red Cross in this wartime dis
aster recalls the happy phras
uttered by Cardinal Mercier o
Belgium when World War relic
was at its height in his owl
country and in France. Tha
brave figure in the great con
} fiict had said of the American
Red Cross "Such a national in
spiration should be captured ant
, held for the benefit of all man
kind"
The events of the last fey
weeks happily prove that the in
spiration has been captured. An
/, the work for mankind in far-oi
|
Greece serves to emphasize VIII
the American Red Cross mus
! be prepared to cope with any dis
aster, no matter how great i
extent or how sudden, and mus
ever be ready to do the servic
quickly and effectually.
The situation which finds tn
equipment and resources of tn
American Red Cross again Ell
gagged in relieving the suffering
attendant upon war with the e.
ficiency and generosity that
the World War was a marvel
all the nations, lays a create
obligation also upon American
everywhere during the Roll Ca
to endorse services to all maj
kind with their signatures an
their membership fees. The Re
Cali is a call to "Say it viii
names and with dollars"-ar
to say it, as in the World W.
times, with patriotic fervor fl
your Red Cross.
For as "Peace hath its vict
ries no less renowned than war
so must the American Red Gro
have its resources from Il
strength Of its membership
go ever onward in the wol
committed to the oTganizati'
y by the American people.
