AMERICAS LUXURIOUS LIFE

How can America afford to be so
'extravagant" Figures just out show
that we have spent on new automo-
biles alone, in the past year and a
half, enough to pay the much-dis-
cussed French debt.
Counting all cars and operating ex-
penses, few months would cover
what France is staggered at the
thought of raising in SO years.
We have more than five times as
many pleasure cars as all the rest of
the world combined, besides nearly all
the movies" and radios.
We have spent ON these things, in
a few years, more than the total saw
ings of an equal number of years just
preceding.
And yet we have saved more than
ever. Where did it all come from?
Not out of savings, nor by going
without other things. Secretary
Hoover has computed that it all came
out of increased production.
Our man-hour output has grown by
almost exactly the amount of these
things.
We have worked harder, been bet
ter organized, and harnessed more me-
chanical power to each worker
We wanted these luxuries, SO we
simply bumped" ourselves, and made
them extra.

SAYS MRS. vickERs TO MRS
FEickERT

Mrs. George T. Vickers, Republican
extraordinary, says some things
about Mrs. Lillian Feickert, Repub
lican plenipotentiary.
Mrs. Feickert complains that the
party leaders and the men elected te
the Legislature have not acted in gooc
faith. She has complained great
deal more than that. But that com
prises one of her chief complaints.
Mrs. Vickers is entirely too much
of lady to say you're another" te
Mrs. Feickert; yet what she says
about Mrs. Feickert is just about
that, couched in the words, of course
of lady, even though it be very
plain-spoken lady.
Mrs. Vickers says that Mrs.
Feickert has not kept faith with the
men; says she has deceived the men
by misrepresenting her cause, on
more occasions than one; says she has
gained power by using the tactics of
men of low political practices; says
she has practiced deception and mis-
representation in forcing legislators
to pass legislation in which she was
interested.
Yes--in the vernacular of the day,
Mrs. Vickers has said at least "a
mouth full" and at least two ears
full, besides.
All of which is very interesting,
not alone in pointing out that women
in politics are very human, as are
men, but in pointing out that while
the women are entitled to the vote,
nobody had any good right to expect
the Millennium because of the extern
sion of suffrage.
Just as sure as "boys will be boys u
just so sure is it that women will
be women. Hudson Dispatch.
Well, what else does one expect
Women are natural-so are men
But politics isn't so much so.

EHHHHH
CENTRAL AMERICA

An article of unusual merit and
much interest on Central America ap-
peared in the February number of
The Mentor magazine by Thomas
F. Lee. The story OF the Central
American states as depicted by Mr..
Lee is OF such peculiar charm that
every one interested in the growth
and development of the North Ameri-
can continent should read it. Illus
trated profusely with rotogravure
pictures, the article Is otherwise
illuminated by an array of highly in
teresting facts which the average
reader would profit by remembering.
There are many strange things con-
nected with Central America; its an
Gent history, It's literature, its civiliza
ton, It's curious revolutionary habits
its beautiful women of Spanish origin
still untainted by intermarriage with
the natives; its almost utter lack OF
railway transportation, and many
other things that are peculiar to these
people alone--make Central America
a section of this continent little
known, yet possessed of many attrac-
tions.
There are five of the Central Amer
ican states, Guatemala, to the north
west, about the size of New York;
Honduras, next, to the southeast, COM
pared with Ohio; then Nicaragua,
similar In size to Alabama; Costa
Rica, one of the most progressive of
the five, about the size of New Jersey;
then, last, Salvador, sizing with New
Jersey, to the south. These states
shave an area of $4,000 square miles,
Of three.fiffhs the size OF Texas,
sparsely settled with only five million
people. These Central, American
states greatly exceed the natural re-
sources of New York, Ohio, Alabama,
West Virginia and New Jersey. Yet
the five states named have $4,000
miles OF railway against only 1000
miles in Central America. And the
latter section has less than 1000 miles
of highway against $4,000 miles in
New York alone.
The Mentor article shows Central
America as a rugged, mountainous
country, with backbone of ridges
ranging from 5000 to 10000 feet high.
Climate down there Is matter of alti-
tude, not latitude, Mr.. Lee says. 1t
"varies from tropic to temperate, from
bananas to wheat" A mile in alti-
tude has the same cooling effect upon
climate that one would note in a
1900 mile trip north from that point.
At two miles the summer temperature
would be similar to that found by
Jumping from Central America to the
borders of Canada.
The most startling fact mentioned
by Mr.. Lee in The Mentor is that
whereas only about 40 inches of rain
falls in New York City per year, over
ten feet, or 120 inches, falls in Cen
tral America, and mostly in one long
wet spell of six months. There is a
tremendous product of fruit, coffee
and other things coming out of Cen
trail America yearly, including 100000
900 pounds of coffee. While we think
of the five Central American states
as alike in characteristics, customs,
vices and virtues, they are alike in
one thing only-the Spanish language.
The whole story Mr.. Lee presents is
wonderful.

ONE POPULAR VETO

Governor Silzer's veto of the Spring
primary bill is forceful and spirited
and, later on, will be vindicated, we
think. Citizens will not like to have
their election campaigns dragged
through the entire year. They inter
rupt business and other activities.
His Excellency's independence of
faction on this subject Is commendable,
for it must be remembered that all of
the Democratic members of the SEN
ate and of the House voted for the
June primary measure.
That the Republican majority has
passed the measure over the veto
does not make it right or popular.
Any such proposal should have been
brought up at least year in advance
of legislative action and widely dis
cussed.
That the bill was hastily drawn is
demonstrated by the defects in it
which are being brought to light.
When we contemplate the series of
blunders which have marked the
amending of the Geran act during the
years since 1911 when it was enacted,
it would not be surprising if the au-
thors of this latest change in the stat
utes have further mauled and mutt
lated it and have thrown our elections
in confusion.
An election law or an extensive
amendment to an election law cannot
be drawn overnight by lawyers who
are unfamiliar with the complicated
machinery of such affairs.

THE GREAT FLORIDA RUSH

The present winter has witnessed
the most remarkable development of
a section of the United States ever
recorded in any country. Every
rush" of Importance in the records
has been eclipsed by the stampede to
Florida. There were exciting days
in "49" to California, and to Pixies
Peak, and to the Klondike in '97 and
9S, and to Oklahoma, but they were
as simple outings compared to the
wild, exciting race into the Peninsula
State this season. While none of the
great rushes to California, Oklahoma
and other places were numbered in
thousands, the crowds that have over
run Florida are in the millions. The
number of extra visitors and home
seekers and land buyers now in that
state are variously estimated as high
as 100000 or more, the present resi-
dent population being around 1,500,'
600, the last census being only slight
ly over 100000.
This great Floridian impetus oi
capital and people came largely
through recent laws that affected the
pocketbooks of Americas rich. Laws
were made that relieved the million
aires money from excessive taxation
The legislature last fall passed law
that openly invited all American mil
lionaires to make Florida their home
BY vote of five to one the state
legislature amended the constitution
that prohibits the legislature from
passing any law imposing taxes on
incomes or inheritances." And so the

$4,000 Organ for 3
Trinity Episcopal

Trinity Episcopal Church, Grant
wood, is making arrangements to
secure and install fine church organ
that cost S25,0O0. Through an ar
rangement made through big New
York church, this great organ has
been obtained at a remarkably low
cost and the vestry is at present try
ing to get the funds to have it set up.
The total sum required is $4,000, and
Of this sum the vestry has voted
$1,000. The other $4,000 they expect
to raise by private subscriptions and
entertainments. The addition of this
fine organ to the Hilltop section will
be a matter of great interest among
all the churches of the district. Rev.
Lloyd Leach, rector of Trinity, is
much enthused over the prospects of
the organ.

HEARST ATTACKS MEMORY OF
WILSON.

The Hearst papers have launched
Wilson. 1t is a villainous attempt to
show that in order to promote his
policies in connection with the League
of Nations, he loaned over billion
and half dollars to European
nations without legal warrant or au-
thority In other words, with no other
motive than his own selfish ends he
handed out this vast sum in order to
curry favor with England, Roumania,
Italy, France and other countries.
Clearly, according to this newest of
Hearst nightmares, Wilson robbed his
own country's treasury merely be-
cause he had the power even in the
face of warnings alleged to have been
given by Carter Glass, U. S. Treas.
urer, and by William G. McAdoo, the
predecessor - nlAas Treasurer.
The -statame, IlI that McAdoo
resigned from the Wilson cabinet be-
cause of Wilson's irregularities. This
is merely snatch Of the Hearst at
tack. 1t is all so nasty. SO unreal, so
vulgar, so politically rotten, that one
wonders why Hearst did not upturn
his maggots before Mr.. Wilson died.
Imagine anyone's using Carter Glass
to SANDER the dead! One can picture
that chivalric gentleman making a
simple statement that will undo what
Hearst's hirelings are trying to un-
earth. 1t is peculiarly cowardly to
besmirch the character of man like
Woodrow Wilson.

THE BANK OF SEWARD FOR SERVICE
Ralph Lomen Arrives In
 Seward Over Long Trail

Ralph Lomen of the firm of the Lomen Reindeer & Trading Corpora ton. and crack photographer of the Territory, reached Seward on Satur- days train, after trip over the win ter trail from Nome, which camp he left January P, arriving at Nenana February 19. Most of the trip, MT. Lomen said was made through in tensely cold weather, intensified by strong blizzards.
 MT. Lomen stated to a Gateway rep resentative that he was on his way outside for the purpose of promoting the reindeer business, and also for the purpose of purchasing his years SUD- plies for the Lomen store at Nome.
 MT. Lomen declared that the Sec ond division was building up slowly, and the steady growth was encourag- ing to the residents. Some five or six millions dollars have been spent in the Nome section by the Hammon in- terests who are developing consider able placer properties.
 The trip from Nome to Nenana was one of the most severe experienced by MT. Lomen, who had J. J. Elliott, member of the Territorial legislature, as a travelling partner.
 His company plans heavy shipments of reindeer meat this year, and he states that the carcasses are sold readily in the States. With larger cold storage facilities on the ships, he believes big market will be built up on the Pacific coast
 MT. Lomen said he would return to Nome on the first trip of the Victoria early in June.
