He also paid a tribute to the many evidences of thrifty practices of the people of the Island during the last 20 or 30 years.
 James Christoe, with the report of the Territorial Commissioner of Edu- cation for 1922 in his hand, gave his hearers a portion of the vital statistics pertaining to the schools i'll Alaska, which is probably of more interest to the Territory as a whole than any other matter. Some of the facts quoted by MT Christoe showed plainly the rapid growth of the schools of Alaska.
 l.. w. Kilburn read a carefully pre- paper paper on the History Of the Advance of Education in the North west" He mentioned many of the viseitudes and triumphs encountered in the path of the growth of the schools and towns. concluding with a short history of the founding and building of the Douglas school.

 The musical numbers of the pro gram consisted of an instrumental trio by the Misses Rica Niemi, Elsie Edmiston and Mamie Feusi and se- lectionS by the Hlgn School Orchestra were very much. appreciated.

Outlaws

OuIIdHS.
With thrills renewed of youthful cheer
The tale of Robin Hood we hear,
Whose chivalry and sentiment
Fill every mind with gay content.
Oh, Robin bold, with what disdain
You'd view the modern lawlesss train,
You used the arrow and the bow
And pulled no gat upon a foe.
You danced upon the village green;
No ."shimmy" there was ever seen.
The lusty bugle note you blew
And jazz effects you never knew.
You drank good ale and would not pass
Wood alcohol to fill the glass.
You did not learn narcotic joys
Nor peddle dope to girls and boys.
You courteously received a guest
And oft assisted the oppressed.
The gold-brick game you did not play
Nor with bad Oil stocks bump the jay.
Strange outlaws now we daily see.
Crime isn't what it used to be.
Our outlaws are not kind and good
Like you, old-timer, Robin Hood.

Strike in Ruhr Mines.

Events are moving swiftly Ito a
Showdown in the Ruhr. With rail-
way workers refusing TO move trains,
general strike as a protest against
French occupation, and there is pros
pect that the scores of thousands of
workers in industrial plants will join
the walkout. Added to this passive re-
sistance by Ruhr labor. the German
finance minister has issued an order
forbidding payment of customs and
coal taxes, and export dues to the

their productive guarantee" will
prove water haul, and they will have
starving population on their hands,
with unguessable possibilities of riot
ing and bloodshed.
That the Paris government is keen
ly alive to the dangers Of the situation
is evidenced by the new reparations
proposals which have been formulated
by Premier Poincare and his ministry.
A moratorium is provided with lean

plan is approved by the reparations
commission Germany must accept it.
or on February l she will be declared
in default on cash reparations as well
as on deliveries in kind.
The few remaining days of January,
therefore, will be critical ones for Eu-
rope. The Ruhr was occupied because
of minor defaults in wood and coal de-
liveries. If there now is to be a ma jor
default in cash reparations, penalties
of corresponding severity would not
leave the Germans much in the way
Of liberty or resources. France has
entered upon the adventure, however
wisely or unwisely, Of collecting repa'
rations at the point of the bayonet,
and it is difficult to see how she could
turn back now in the face of German
opposition. To admit defeat in the un-
dertaking would be as injurious to her
prestige as a disastrous military re-
verse, and it is probable no French
government could survive which emu
lated the example Of that French king
who at Calais marched up the hill and
then marched down again.
Nor is it an easy choice which the
government at Berlin must make. The
non-German world has no sympathy
with the policy of evasion which Ber-
lin has pursued, and undeniably pres.
ent difficulties are the logical result of
past offendings, but the world need not
withhold appreciation Of the dilemma
Of the Cuno government. Damnation
seems to sit on either horn. Yielding
to the French would bring all the op-
position clements in Germany down
upon it, while continued resistance is
to invite sure destruction at the hands
of France.

Color Line at Harvard Arouses
Animated Discussion.

One OF the warmest newspaper
discussions of recent years has been
precipitated by the refusal of Presi-
dent Lowell of Harvard University
to allow Roscoe Conkling Bruce,
grandson of Blanche X. Bruce, negro
United States senator from Missis-
sippi in 1875. to secure quarters in
the freshmen's halls there. The fact
that it was Harvard which takes
this step, although Bruce's father is
himself a, graduate of that particular
university and won the highest
bitterness of the discussion and both
sides OF the racial problem are rep
resented in the opinions voiced by
editors. regardless Of their territorial
location.
"undsr Charles W. Eliot Harvard
Lawrence Lowell IT has had two race
issues in ono year" points out the
New York World. which insists that
there has been "a change of soul at
the top which has communicated
itself to the university. In the place
liberal virtue of New England, there
sits a man who has lost his grip on
the great traditions which made
Harvard one of the true spiritual
centers of American life. Harvard
with the prejudices of summer
hotel, Harvard with the standards of
a country club, is not the Harvard of
her greatest sons. 1t is not the
Harvard Of its most loyal graduates.
but a Harvard temporarily at sea in
a disordered world" This likewise
is the view of the New York Post,
which, characterizing President
Lowell's declaration as frank, con-
tinues: This defense is itself a con-
fession that Harvard has abandoned
one of its proudest ideals at the very
moment when that ideal is in special
need of being upheld" while the So
cialistic New York Call asserts that
Harvard University has been Jim
Crowed, and no amount of evasion
can obscure this fact
A distinctly contrary view is that
which is entertained by the Charlotte
Observer. which feels that "the prop
osition that the colored man should
compel the white man to live with
him was q little bit too strong for
even the president of Harvard. May
be Bruce will decide on keeping his
son away from Harvard. Undoubtedly
that would be better for the colored
youth than to be sent there to live
up to the ideals the father enter
tains about the privileges. The Har-
ward president knows how to stave
off trouble" The problem Is deli
cate recalls the Cincinnati Times
Star, and while Harvard was "the
great intellectual center of abolition,
and the beacon whose light attracted
freedom in the reconstructive period,
