CARAWAY's DIscoURTEsY

Senator Caraway of Arkansas, on his re turn from trip to France, referred to the Prime Minister of that nation as "a sort of village undertaken" But If Marshall .Joffre, after his visit to the United States had returned to France and referred to Woodrow Wilson as "a sort of small town padagogue" the probabilities are the Senator from Arkan- sas would have resented it. The discourtesy of the gentleman from Jonesboro, Arkansas, can not lower him in the estimation of the general public His antics in the Senate have lowered him in public esteem ''deeper than ever plummet sounded" but this boorish fling at the French Premier, whose guest he was, will not give the French people very high opinion of American statesmen. The best that can be done is to say that we apologize for Caraway's incivility.

Make of me what you will-T shall reflect you as clearly as mirror throws back candle beam.

 Ambition and opportunity call some of my sons and daughters to high tasks and mighty privileges, to my greater honor and to my good repute in far places, but it is not chiefly those who are my strength. My strength is in those who remain, who 'Iberian village than be second in are content with what can offer them and with what they can offer me.

KEEPING FAITH WITH THE PEOPLE

That the present administration has not been shaken in it's stand on foreign debts by the gusts of international sentimentaism that have recently beat upon it and is not moved to abandon the policy it has consistently pursued from the beginning of it's control by either ex- ternal or internal pressure for cancellation or reduction that is now being brought to bear on it, is established by authoritative statements pointing the course that it will henceforth fol low in dealing with this subjeot-and also pointing the course it will not follow
 Being warm to Arlerica's interests, the ad ministration is cold to agitation for debt can cellotion or reduction in the interest of Europe. Realizing the obligations of it's stewardship, it IS determined not to jeopardize the nations credit interests by permitting debts owed America to be dealt with as a subordinate factor in Europe's economic problem. And realizing the limitations imposed on it by Congress and by the will of the American people as repeatedly expressed, the Admins tration has made it plain that it does not in- tend to embarrass this nation by invilving it in European economic movements that aim at effecting stabilization by dealing with in debtedness to this country as inseparable from certain other problems that now confront the nations Cover there'
 The sentimentalists who are agitating for cancellation apparently fail to realize the evil consequences that would inevitably follow such dealing. And the special interests that are urging it evidently ignore such consequences Cancellation of debts would break down the confidence of peoples in governmental obli- cations and would thus tend to undermine a faith that is essential to economic stability

And obviously this would be accompanied or followed by many other ill results. While cancellation may seem to be the easiest way out to debtor nations in the long run it would not prove to be the best way out--for it would be at expense of good faith and sound economic principles. And certainly it would be neither the easiest nor the best way out for the creditor nation. America granted the requests Of the European nations for loans with clear understanding that they would be paid, and this administration is backed by right, reason and justice in holding against cancellation.

As part of her reparations obligations, Ger many has paid about 1,500,ooo,oo0 gold marks in cash to the Allies. That is about $350, ,O00,- 900 in our money. Recent compilations show that Americans have paid in dollars over two and half times that amount for German paper marks, practically all of which IS ap- parently now loss. In other words American citizens have furnished Germany with enough gold to pay her cash indemnities to the Allies more than twice over. But there are some people who still persist that we have not done our full part toward the rehabilitation of t@ TS- Europe.

pRospEcroRs AND CAPITAL

While it is all right to boost Alaska by asserting that she has arrived that empire of today and not of. tomorrow, the fact remains that Alaska will remain stationary in the matter of development until popu
 ation is increased and that will not occur until there is something to justify increase.
 The wto greatest needs of Alaska present pros pectors and capital the former to locate mines, latter to develop them Until are developed in the Territory there will be demand for more miners than are here at present Until the population is increased there will be demand for farmers as farmers not prosper without demand their products and population exist in that demand may be created. There fishermen than are making more than their salt, there is no in- ducement in that line to bring people to Alaska

 Spin and the world spins with you, stall and, you stall alone.

ESSEX COUNTY
ELECTION CASE
SATURDAY
Heard at GuildhalI Before
Judge Taylor of Sup
RENE Court

A hearing was held at Guildhall
Saturday before Judge w. N. Tay-
lor of the Supreme court in an at
tempt to ascertain the facts and
straighten out the mix--up grow
ing out of the contested primary
election cases in Essex county.
The testimony was taken and
the hearing closed, but no decision
was rendered. Judge Taylor init
mated, however, that a decision
might be expected within week.
The contestants were H. E.
Aldlich against Fred A. Brewer
for judge of probate and Charles
+. Bishop against Richard Beatty
for sheriff. Messrs. Claire Powell
of Island Pond and Graves of St.
Johnsbuly appeared for the con-
testants and Amey and Cameron of
Island Pond appeared for the pc
titionees. The action was brought
under the statute which allows a
candidate at the pimaries to con-
test the nomination of an opponent
on petition, before a iusice of the
supreme court or superior Judge.
The contest is over the type of
ballot prepared by the county
clerk. The ballots contained one
column with the names of the GER
tilted Republican candidates and
the heading Republican" one
column headed "Democrat", with
no names printed under it, and one
other blank column with no head
ing. This ballot was used all
through the county except in
Brighton and was used there up
until the last part Of the voting.
Brewer and Beatty received about
$50 votes each throughout the
county, but the contestants con-
cedc them onlyo ne and three le-
gal votes respectively. They claim
that about 60 votes cast for them
in Brighton on the Republican
column torn from the ballot by
the election officials are the only
legal votes in the county with the
exception noted.
1t appeared during the hearing
and was not contradicted that the
contestants certified as candidates
of the farm-labor party.
The board of civil authority in
Brighton threw out all but the 60
ballots on the torn ballot.
