Here you see Jim" Curwood on the
which has just been published, he
moves his characters up into Americas
northern wonderland. The Alaskan"
represents the hiEh-w water mark of
Curwood's career, both as teller of
robust and adventurous tales and as a
best seller.
Since President Harding steamed up
the coast to take look into Seward
iceboX," as Alaska was called by those
who opposed its purchase. thousands of
Americans are letting Curwood carry
them by the magic of The Alaskan"
away from midsummer heat to the ro-
mantle land of the last empire builders.
Woven into Curwood's vivid romance
is an exposition of the political condi-
tons in Alaska and an eloquent plea
for the salvation of this northern
wonderland from the Wa shington bu-
reaucrats and Wall street capitalists;
and. strangely enough for fiction, one
of the characters who plays a promi-
nent part in the story is Carl Lomen
of Nome, a real man, and the reindeer
king of the Seward Peninsula.
In The Alaskan Curwood portrays
outdoors he knows and loves. His pas
sion for honor. fairness. square-shoul-
dered manlincss, and for the beauty of
fair women, makes his characters ever
more memorable.

GOOD NEWS

Good news, that is what the wires
from San Francisco brought re-
specting the Presidents condition
Tuesday morning. The expressions
beard on every side left no doubt
that the public so regards it and is
relieved.
The President is one who likes his
fellow men; people are convinced of
this, and it would be strange did
they not reciprocate at a time like
this. They realize that his endur-
ance has been severely taxed in the
public service. that, as he describes
it, 1t is killing job he is doing.
The dispatches from all over the
land leave no doubt of the appre-
hension felt by all. Mr.. Harding is
our President, his endurance has
broken under our task. And we,
whose burden he has borne, are pro-
foundry grateful because conditions
have favored him, and that his wife,
recently recovered from illness, could
be at his bedside, courageous and
helpful.
We wish he might have heard the
expressions of relief made in
response to the bulletins Of the
morning. The country is hoping for
the best for Warren G. Harding.

flaw, NOT WAR"

Law, uOl w dI Is SOOu
slogan, but it doesn't necessarily fol-
low that all those shouting 1t are de-
sirable yoke-fe in the civilizing
processes. and from what we learn,
not all are.
Certain types Of those endowed
with forms of men seem to take nat
urally to constructiveness, while 9TH
ers appear no less inclined to destruc-
tiveness. The latter would not be
eliminated by the adjustment Of war;
as they are inherently at war with
their fellows. They would find out
let for their bent in stealthy or dra-
matte efforts at violence. To speak Of
the Russian reds as favoring peace Is
a misnomer so long as they resort to
assassination, to dynamite and riot
for the dissemination of their doc
trines and to secure an influence
which they are incapable of obtaining
by peaceful methods.
The cowardly. the weak destruc-
ZIONIST prefers group to national war
fare. His approval Of pacifism means
that. Those who want real peace
should shun him, even though he
adopt the slogan: Law, Not War,
which apparently he is frequently do
ing.
Nor is that one real friend of man
who encourages him to think that If
1,e mace q Low, or oct n hIicb q co,,rt nv
which orderly settlements Of disputes
may be made he thereby has abolish
ed war. That would be lulling the
victim into a false sense Of security.
The friend of peace is he who would
encourage his fellows to all honorable
effort to avoid war and teach them to
substitute other arbitrament of dis
putes than that of war, all the while
mindful that the possibility that force
may be required is ever present and
must not be ignored.
So long as the advocates Of law.
not war do not propose, as Governor
Baxter says, ito disarm this nation
until all other nations at the same
time do So. the more they agitate for
better understanding. for mainten-
ance of clear comprehension Of the
horror and futility of war to attain an
ultimate good, the better.
1t is nowise opposed to this that the
people should not only permit but
should insist upon adequate defense
nd
Because those interested in NUM-
tions. in making the tools of warfare,
or those who wish preferment
through enlargement Of our martial
forces, may seek dividends from
measures to enlarge our ornaments
should not deter people from support
ing the conclusions of those best in
formed as to needs.
Furthermore it is in a way helpful
to, peace rather than to war, that our
Youth should profit from training,
though it be in part Of military ma
tire. That which is offered at Camp
Devens is an opportunity enterprising
youth should not miss. There is
room for that and for the slogan:
"Law, Not War, side by side In the
development. 1t has been said that he
who dares not reason is a slave.
The lesson respecting the suicidal
nature of war was taught the world
never so impressively a few short
years ago. 1t seems to be the nature
of man to forget such lessons. This
should not be permitted in the case
of war. The slogan will help, the
training camp will help--so long as
people insist that they shall, insist on
reason

FoRD's SENSIBLE CONCLUSION

Very many have insisted from the

the qualifications required of the
chief executive Of the country's bust
ness.
And now Mr.. Ford, himself, de-
Clares this to be so, in an interview
published in Golfers.
This is not to be understood to
mean that he feels humble in respect
to his abilities, not at all. On the
contrary, he. naturally entertains a
poor opinion of political methods for
obtaining ends and he is hopeful that
evolution will bring about different
methods, in which event, it is plain
he conceives it to be very possible
such capabilities as he possesses
would be needed
He graciously expresses the
opinion that under existing conditions
President Harding is good man for
the job, that he measures up to the
requirements of present conditions.
1t is very evident he concludes peo-
pie do not really know what they
want, that Europe must find itself,
that this country must get above
narrow nationalism, that the world
must come to a clearer understand
ing, that the flivver and the tractor
are bringing this about by breaking
down the barriers and improving
communication. He regards the
tariff as wrong, also the ship sub
sidy. He seems to have forgotten
the time when Henry Ford with all
his brilliant ideas could not have put
