VAN LOON-The Story of Mankind
''This book attempts by text and
picture to sketch for children the
development of the human race and
to make them "feel" history. The
author traces briefly the important
steps in the advance of civilization
from prehistoric times to the pres
ent, bringing out clearly the char
acteristics of different peoples and
the peculiar quality of civilization in
each successive period. The book is
profusely illustrated with the auth
or's own pictures and maps drawn for
children and in accordance with their
own ideas of art. An excellent his
torical reading list for children is
included. 20 Book Review Digest).

"An interesting, spicy and prOvOca-
tive attempt to analyze frankly Am
erican politics. The authors charac-
terizations of fourteen American
statesmen and public men Of today
are keen, satirical, sometimes ill-nat-
ured. Though some characters are
treated with more indulgence than
others, the sketches are so invariably
critical that part of them will arouse
opposition in every reader, according
to his point Of view. The Americans
mirrored are Warren G. Harding,

Who Can.

Mr.. Hannah read a paper in which
he propounded the thesis that the oft
heard maxim of economists, that the
memorable law of supply and de-
mands governs the prices, is a fetish
devoid Of logical meaning, and that
instead prices establishes both sup
ply and demand.
All prices the world over are fixed,
he contended, but the wrong fellows
are fixing them. In view of this he
advocated that the sovereign power
Of the people be applied to for a
change, and that it fix the price for
a while.
Buyers fix the prices at which they
will buy and sellers fix the price at
which they will sell, the speaker ar
gued, and developed his logic to show
that the law of competitive prices il
the same as the law of monopoly
prices. He carried this line of rea
soning further to show that price il
the same as force, and that in tn,
last analysis price is fixed by force
that the physical strength exerted b,
human beings controls the Who'll
economic system.

OUTLOOK BANQUETS
BASKET BALL TEAMS

Last Friday evening, February %,
the parents of the members Of the
basket ball teams of Outlook gave the
players a four-course banquet at the
Martin Hotel.
The dining room was prettly de-
corated in the basketball colors of
blue and gold, the nut cups and place
cards carrying out the same colors.
Miss Lord acted as toastmistress,
Mr.. Hammond speaking for the
teams. Miss Craig spoke for the
teachers and Andrew LELAND made
an address in behalf of the school
board while Mr.. Larson represented
the fathers and Mrs. Rowland spoke
for the mothers. Miss Dora Trowel
and Lyle Nelson answered as cap
tains of the teams.
A few were absent on account OF
sickness. Nevertheless the tables
were set for So plates.
Special thanks are due Mrs. Mar
/ tin and Mrs. Rooster, who worked s.
diligently to make the affair a sue
cess, and also to the walters.
At the end of the evening tn
teams presented Mr.. and Mrs. Pres
colt a handsome 8-day clock as
token of their appreciation for tn
coaching of the teams this year.
It was the opinion Of all after tn
evenings festitives that it would
a very pleasant and profitable er
joyment if they would meet togethe
more often, the parents with tn
children and teachers.
This eliminates the basketball Sc;
: son for Outlook and it is a very fl
ting close to a most successful We:
e in basketball.

ARKANSAS MOB RUI E INVESTIGATION
SDETRACKED BY RAILROAD OFFICIALS


Investigation by the Arkansas Leg
islature into the lynchings Of E. c.
Gregor, a railroad striker, at Harri-
son on January 18th, has been side
tracked by officials of the Missouri
and North Arkansas railroad, accord
ing to charges made by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union in letter
to Governor Thomas C. McRae, sign
ed by Roger N. Baldwin, director,
and Harry F. Ward, chairman.
The officers of the Civil Liberties
Union, who have been in touch with
the situation through their cores
pondents in Arkansas, offer ito rem
der any assistance possible to the au-
thorities Of the state in restoring
civil rights in the affected district
and in bringing to justice the perpe-
traitors of these .outrages." They
charge that Sinister influences are at
work to prevent anything being done
in the future" and maintain that the
Ku Klux Khan has "endeavOred
through secret channels to prevent
any effective public investigation be-
ing made"
"Is it not true" the Civil Liber-
ties communication asks of Governor
McRae, chat you, as governor, have
refused to protect railroad strikers
driven out of Harrison and surround
ing territory who have asked you fol
protection in order that they may re-
turn to their homes ?" Only those
men who have submitted to the dicta
ton of J. C. Murray, manager of thu
Missouri and North Arkansas Rail
way, virtually abandoning their la
Dor connections and agreeing to g
back on non-union conditions" hav'
been permitted to return, the officer
charge.
The communication to the Govern
or asks:
"Is it not true that the cOmmitte
appointed by the Legislature to inves
tigate conditions in Harrison has nc
vet started this investigation and ha
fixed no date when they would do so
Is it not equally true that this CON
nittee started out with evident goo
faith to do the job, and lost intere'
at the time that J. c. Murray an
other officials of the Missouri an
North Arkansas railway came to Lii
tie Rock?
els it not fair question to as
whether the officials of the railrOa
who control the Citizens Commits
responsible for the lynching in Har1
son and for all the disturbance
which took place there, was not mc
in any proper sense Of the word b
an organized group Of men directs
by the officials of the railroad al
their associates?
"Did not o. B. Robbins, who is a
sociated with the railroads interest,"
name members of the Citizens Coz
mittee and give orders as to its &C
vitv3 Are not Mr.. Robbins and OF
ers now active in preventing any
vestigation of the Citizens Comm
tee and its alwless activity, and

sympathizers any civil rights wh'
ever in their own home district 2"

SAYINGS OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

It is the duty Of the whole people
never to intrust to hands other than
their own the preservation and per-
petuation Of their own liberties and
institutions.
No man is good enough to
govern another man without that
mans consent.
No men living are more worthy 70
be trusted than those who toll up
from poverty; none less inclined to
take or touch aught which they have
not honestly earned.
Inasmuch as most good things
are produced by labor, it follows
that all such things of right be-
long to those whose labor has
duced them.
Allow all the governed an equal
voice in the government. That and
that only is self-government.
Those who deny freedom to
others deserve it not for them
selves, and under just God can
not long retain it.
Restore the government once more
Through the ballot box) to the hearts
and affections Of men by making it
express, as it was intended to do
the. highest spirit Of justice and lib
erty.
To secure to each labOrer the
whole product of his labor, or as
nearly as possible, is a worthy
object of any good government.
The candid citizen must confess
that if the policy of the government
upon vital questions affecting tn
whole people is to be irrevocabl.

 A southeastern Alaska paper wants the name Alaska retained by that DOT ton of the territory on the grounds that the first settlement of whites was at Sitka. The Gateway then enters the field by stating the first settlement was to the westward. A casual glance thru our history desn't enlighten us very much so We can't join in the tempest in teapot.
