Aunt Emmy laughed. "No wonder
you lost it," she said. ANY one at

it, no matter to whom the check is

Radical demagogues sometimes ac-
cuse the capitalistic system with IA
voring the rich and powerful as
against the poor and lowly. Fifty
three years ago an Irish lad of nine
was brought to the United States by
his parents He went to the public
schools and then began work as an
office boy. A few days ago, on Octo-
Der 1. he was elected president of the
American Bankers Association. the
worlds largest financial organization.
He is president of one of the largest
savings banks In the United States,
the Bowery Savings Bank of New
York City This election OF william
r. Knox, who has risen from Irish
immigrant to chief of American
bankers. is the most striking remind
er Of the year of the democracy Of op-
portunity in capitalistic America.

OPPORTUNITY IN AMERICA County School Notes.
BY Ida B. Bradley, County Super
intendent, and Margaret Hardie,
Supervising Teacher.
School Libraries

Wisconsin has asked that her
Libraries in one room schools in the
country be card catalogued and that
these catalogues be kept up to date.
This means that as books are taken
from the library and are not to be
replaced, with new books of the same
title, the cards representing such
books be taken from the case at
once. 1t also means that as soon as
new books are received they should
be card catalogued at once. These
card cases should be kept in order
for constant use. Cards should be
kept carefully Alphabetical and the
drawers should not be so full of
cards that it becomes difficult to use
them. Any condition that interferes
with free access to the card needed,
soon drives children from card case
to the library itself in search of
material.
This questionable has been re-
ceived from the state department.
What proportion of your school
libraries are now catalogued and up
to date?
2 How frequently do pupils and
teachers consult card catalogues
when searching for material for
school work?
3 Are teachers who are beginning
their work with you properly trained
in this work at normal schools, coun-
ty rural schools and in training
courses in high schools?
In Libraries not now all catalo-
gued are teachers making cards for
new books received? They may be
kept in separate drawer for use un-
til the other drawers are gone over
and made disable or the entire library
catalogued.

Ways

To every man there openeth,
A way, and ways and way
And the high soul climbs the high
way,
And the low soul gropes the low
And in between on the misty flats
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth
A high way and low,
And every man decideth
Which way his soul shall go.-

WASHINGTON is baseball mad
and will continue in that excited
state until the world series is over.
The welcome which was accorded the
Griffmen when they returned to the
Capital with the American League
remnant was one of the most
enthusiastic that the capital has ever
witnessed. President Coolidge, slow
to become aroused over anything,
was in the crowd that greeted the
league champions and is watching
their progress through the series.
SENATOR LAFOLLETTE has en-
barkcd on the speaking tour that is
expected to take him all the way to
the Pacific Coast-if his health holds
out, leaving Mr. Coolidge the lone

conferences with Democratic leaders

servers are still unwilling to make
any flat forecasts on the presidential
election, still insisting that there is
still time for anything to happen.
Although both the Republican and
Democratic chiefs remain supremely
confident of success, there is a
distinct undercurrent of feeling that
an election right now would result
in mo choice" and that Congress
would have to unscramblc the situa-
ton developing from the La Toilette
candidacy.
THE GUBERNATORIAL campaign
in New York between al Smith and
Theodore Roosevelt II has apparent
~ developed into wet and dry
fight, with the former Assistant
Secretary of the Navy urging more
drastic prohibition laws than those
now in force. National political
leaders are watching the Now York
campaign closely as the outcome

siderable influence on the Davis

scandal is also being dragged into the
limelight in New York as T. K. was
Denby's right-hand-man during the
Sinclair Teapot Dome negotiations
SENATOR BROOKHART'S de-
mand that Chairman Butler remove
General Dawes from the Republican
ticket is interpreted here merely as
the first step in Brookhart's bolt
from the Republican party to the
LaFollette Independents. The Iowa
Senator was allied with the in
surgent forces in the last Congress
and was generally expected To
support La Toilette in the pre-
sidential campaign, although the
announcement of his intentions have
been somewhat delayed 1t is we'll

to venture far from his own state
thus far IN the campaign is pointed
to By Republicans and Democrats as
indicating that he would not be dis
pleased to see the election thrown
into the House Of Representatives,
where he would have a clear chance
to land in the White House. If
such a situation exists, it indicates
that the presidential campaign has
developed into regular free-for-all
fight where everyone is out to scalp
everyone else to do the best he can
for himself
WAR TO THE DEATH is going
on in the Navy Department while the
board Of officers named by
Secretary Wilbur seeks to determine
the relative efficiency Of battleships
and airplanes in the national de-
Tense. Wilbur is inclined to agree
with the old time naval officers that
the day of the battleship has not
passed. maintaining that it is i'm
possible to operate airplanes in
dependent of surface craft. The
aeronautical officers, however, want
to see more money appropriated for
aircraft, development and are willing
to see all the battleships scrapped.
The inquiry was ordered by
President Coolidge, who believes that
airpianes will play more important
part in future plans for the nations
defense.

RECEIPTS FROM ALASKA FORESTS BREAK RECORDS ALASKA NATIONAL FOREST HAS BEST YEAR IN HISTORY,
 DECLARES MERRITT.

Receipts from Alaska National For ests for the fiscal year ending June 30 aggregated 3123,51705, the largest in their history according to annouu:e ment maze by Nj. | Merritt, Assistant District For-stei, n preliminary statement of operations for the fiscal year 1923 The r. r,eipts were az pro>imately s1700O greater than the previous record year, 1920-21, %kcr $'l6,921.5C was co'tet ;ed by the Ds, t:ict Forest Service.
 Last years r1ceipts We're almosl 1O0 pel cent larger than .ao~e Of 1352-23- which amounted to fG%,Ii3. 5G. The increase was accounted for mainly by growth of timber sales particularly in Southeastern Alaska. Other sources of revenue were permits covering fur farming, special use permits and small amount was received from water power licenses

ALASKA RAILROAD |SSUEs
 UNPRECEDENTED ORDER

Without precedent in the annals of railroad history was the order given some time ago by the management of the Alaska railroad, when the lighting of all signal and switch lights from Curry to Fairbanks was discontinued. This order effects considerable saw ing in oil as it covers practically 365 miles of road. The Alaska railroad is probably the only railroad in the world with a daily twenty-four hour service able to work under such a due to continuous daylight in this section.
 We believe the initiative taken by the management of the railroad in issuing such an order while unusual, demonstrates that no opportunity, however small, is being overlooked to make the railway self supporting, and if the present general manager is allowed to carry out his plans un- lnolested, every section of the Terri tory depending upon the road will be beneted by reduction in the pres- rnt operating expenses.

SEWARD EXCURSION WILL
 SAIL MONDAY MORNING

The Seward chamber of commerce
 representatives will sail for the west
 ward on the steamship Starr Monday morning, giving citizens an opportun-
 ity to take in the big Masonic picnic
 Sunday at Mile 23. While no large numbers are going on the westward trip representative business men of the town will act for those who remain
 at home. The object of the trip is
 not to secure trade at this time but to become acquainted with the towns and conditions and look for future business relations with our westward neigh bors. Seward is the logical trading and banking point for this vast district and for many years has enjoyed a steady flow of business from points as far west as Dillingham;. It is now de- sired to reciprocate by meeting our customers face to face. Those taking advantage of the trip will be MT. and Mrs. Chas. Hinde, Mr. Hinde rtpre- senting the banking interests of the town; MT. and Mrs. Urbach, MT. Ur- bach being the city's largest clothier; Miss Ritchie, a well-known nurse from Latouche; Dr. J. ". Edmunds, an eye specialist of Seattle; J. P. Hannon, secretary of the chamber of commerce who will represent the town at large and several firms in particular; H. B. Selby, editor of the Gateway who goes west in connection with the special edition to be printed follow ing his return; and Art Shonbeck, we'll known business man of Anchorage, who goes because he is a jolly good fellow and also after the business.
 The trip will take about three weeks and all camps will be visited, Capt. Johansen giving the crowd ample time to see all the sights. Manager Gilbert Henderson has made a fare of $100 for the round trip, nearly a half fare rate.

Lieutenant Bissell had charge of the arrangements for the flight between California and Shima- shu, Japan.
 One expedition followed Martins directions as closely as possible and the other went it's own belief as to where the wrecked plane was located. Neither found a trace of the missing aircraft.
