LESE MAJESTE

(Ketchikan Chronicle, February 5
 News that the passenger fare has been increased from Seattle to Alas kan points comes to the people of the North as rather slap that was not anticipated. No statement has yet been received from the trans portation companies showing the necessity of such move, if, indeed, such a necessity can be shown.
 It is true that the service on some of the boats has been i'm proved in the matter of better rooms and more commodious vessels in some instances. That, however, does not hold good on all boats and an increased rate on the older and less commodious vessels certainly could not be said to warrant jump in the price of passenger trahsporta- tion. As to the better boats, it will be difficult to convince the people of Alaska that increases should be made for they feel, especially in Southeastern Alaska, that they have been paying sufficient.
 As it is understood that the in- creases are to apply to all the steamship lines, both American and Canadian, it may be that combina- tion was entered into which will bear Investigation as to possible vio- lations of the law relative to com irations in restraint of trade and competition. But, regardless of this, and whether or not the public can do anything to prevent such an in crease, it is a certainty that were there an independent and rival line accommodating Southeastern Alaska, the older lines would meet with some hearty opposition from an ag- grieved public.

If you are sincere, rot afraid, and stand your ground, calumny won't hurt you in the long run.
 Senator La Toilette, returning to the senate yesterday, after a long illness, was received by senators of all parties with loud applause, an ovation such as few men have had in the senate.
 Every man in that body knows that La Toilette is sincere, says what he means, and that no amount of money could even interest him, much less influence him.
 It has not been so with all men, and La Toilette wins his elections by fighting, not by purchase, as has been done, sometimes.-N. Y. Times.

CALVIN COOLIDGE

Americans-a fact which a regiment of biographers appear to have over looked.
 His great-grandmoth showed clear evidence of Indian descent; and though succeeding generations of Coolidges have hidden the Indian blood beneath a protective coloring of fair hair and freckles, the Indian blood, like The Star Spangled Ban ner, is still there.
 It is possible to ascribe many Coolidge characteristics to the h. dian blood; but before any person does any ascribing along this line, he ought to know little something about Indian characteristics.
 It is popularly supposed, for ex ample, that the average Indian ex- presses delight, sorrow, anger, pain, resentment, distress, doubt and vari ous other emotions by the one ex- clamation "Ugh!"; that he seldom if ever elaborates on this remark. and that silence and paucity of eX- pression are his most striking at tributes.
 As a matter of fact, almost any Indian, when he knows and trusts the person to whom he is talking, will ramble on at such length that those who are obliged to listen to him are frequently seized with an almost uncomfortable desire to strike him smartly over the head with a stockingful of iron filings in order to silence him for a few hours.
 Every Indian tribe has scores upon scores of interminable legends, sucn as the story of how the Doctor of the Hearth, Juh-Wert-a-Blah Blah, or something similar, with the as sistance of Esky-N Bull, the Chickadee, took bowl of water and made it hard and hung it up in the sky-Wup- -Mush- Ga-Ga- thus forming the sun-Sis-R -Room-Bah.
 These legends are preserved by handing them down by word of mouth from father to son and from mother to daughter; and there are so many of them, and all the In- dians are so thoroughly conversant with them, that most Indians must spend a large part of their lives telling long and involved legends to their children, instead of remarking "Ugh" to one another morosely.
 Indians are not at all silent when they have occasion to talk and when they know to whom they are talk ing. They are very patient, how ever, and they are apt to be modest and reticent; and when there is need for them to take action against trespassers and encroachers, they wait carefully and patiently until the time is rino and then theu fre-

 year takes place in September, when millions of children go back to school.
 When the final history of this age of democracy is written the common school will be set down as it's great est glory.
 Here they come-children of all classes, religions and races, (except the Alaska 1ndian) )-trooping into the schoolrooms where they sit side by side to study and learn. Except the Alaska Indian.) This is not only an institution for the informing of the mind; it is the training school for democracy and it's importance as the representative institution of the commonwealth cannot be overestimat- ed. Except for the Indian).
 Class consciousness, snobbishness, intolerance, superciliousness, cannot exist in the atmosphere of the pub lie school. Except for the Indian.) Here the barriers that separate classes and creeds, races and com munities are broken down. Except for the Indian.) A sense of mutual sympathy and understanding is de- veloped, (except for the Indian) and the one loyalty to the flag as against all other obediences and authorities and allegiances is emphasized. Gn- clude the Indian.)
 Seventy years ago Theodore Park. CT declared: "The common school is the cradle of Americas greatness Twenty-Five centuries ago Diogenes said: "Education is the basis of the Greek State" We may we'll say: the public school is the foundation of the American state Except for the Indians.)
 The greatness and glory of this United States waxes and wanes with the development or decline of the public school. If by reason of the growth of some other system or school, or by failure on the part of the citizenship to appreciate the unique civic significance of the pub lie school, it should fall into decay a body blow would be struck at the republic.
 Some time this axiom of demo- cracy will be universally recognized (Prof. Lester Henderson says sever al generations hence for the Indian) and the parents of the nation frank ly and periodically acknowledge this truth shall gladly send their children to the public schools to be instructed in secular subjects, to be trained in American citizenship, to grow up in the atmosphere of democracy, and to be imbued with the idealistic spirit of Washington and Lincoln.

Stage Costumes of Colds
Banned at Berkeley Show

Dimpled knees and twinkling toes
of fair goods of the University of
California will not be one of the
lures to attract attendance at the
annual extravaganza of the senior
class in the Greek theater on the
university campus. President W.
w. Campbell says that the young
women performers must wear
stockings and skirts which will
permit of no unseemly hiatus be-
tween lower hem and stocking top.

every respect will be in accord with

Ten Years In clone
Town" Newspapers

In 1915 there were 2,445, 666 auto
mobiles in this country.
1t seemed a tremendous number.
Some people were already talk
ing about "the saturation point
being not far ahead.
But if there were some men who
couldn't see the woods for the
trees, there were others whose
faith never faltered.
1t took a lot of vision for them
to see that the true market for the
automobile had hardly been
touched.
1t took lot OF courage for them
to bank on the ultimate success of
the automobile in that market.
They had both.
Back in 1915, the United States
Rubber company said: "The real
future Of the automobile is not in
the big cities, but away from them.
1t is not in short runs on city
streets, but in mile after mile on
country roads,"
So back in 1915 the United States
Rubber company began to prepare
for this movement, and to help it..
In 1915-ten- years ago-the first
U. S. tire advertising began to
appear in the "home town" papers.
Few people saw these papers in
their true dimension.
Few realized the influence they
had on what the people thought and
did and wore and bought. Because
few people realized the place they
filled in the minds and lives of
their readers.
The United States Rubber COM
pany saw.
AS clearly as it saw that the de-
velopment of the automobile would
be in the smaller communities, it
saw that the people in these COM
munities would have to have tires
to measure up to the service and
tire merchants to sell them.
So ten years ago people began to
read the first U. S. tire advertising
in their "home town" paper-over
the name of their 'home town"
dealer.
They have been reading it ever

American Forest week has been
observed this year as never before, :"
according to District Forester F. c.
w. Pooler, of Albuquerque. N. NJ,
in statement given out yesterday
More than 200 private organiza-
lions have joined forces with state
and federal agencies in presenting
the needs for the perpetuation and
protection of the timber supply of
the country.
Nearly all of the luncheon and
women's clubs of the southwest
have had speakers for the occa-
sion, or held forestry programs
Many of the leading newspapers of
Arizona and New Mexico have had
stirring editorials calling to the at
tention of the public the urgent
need of beginning now to save the
future timber supply. In many Of
the public schools programs have
been held dealing with fire All of
the fourteen national forests have
conducted an intensive educational
campaign on the forests and par
ticularly directed attention to a re-
duction of fire caused by human

More than 500 postmasters in
Arizona and New Mexico cooper
ated by placing copies of the presi-
dents proclamation on the public
bulletin boards. The biological

to render every possible service
and have prepared articles in their

''The splendid cooperation by

fruit during the present fire. season
in reducing the number of fires

Club Studies History
of States Highways

A close study of early-day roads
and trails in Arizona is being made
by Manager Charles Kimberlin of
the Automobile Club of Arizona, in
order to determine what influenced
the location of various automobile
routes in Arizona.
He finds the southern route that
enters Arizona near Rodero, n NJ,
and connects Douglas, Lowell, Bis
bee, Tombstone and Tucson with
Phoenix has been developed from
the first wagon road opened in
Arizona, by the Mormon Battalion
during their famous march from
Fort Leavenworth, Kan, to San
Diego, Calf, in 1916.
Up to that time transportation in
what is now Arizona had all been
by pack train, the Mormon Battal-
ion had a wagon train to convey
their equipment and blazed the
first trail through the. Wilds, that
has since developed into the Auto
mobile club highway, over which
hundreds of automobiles fit daily
The conquest of California by the
combined army and naval forces Of
the United States, the discovery of
gold in California soon after, Gre
ated a transportation demand that
brought the early-day stage coach
into being. Mineral development
within the confines of Arizona soon
brought long strings of heavily
laden freight wagons into commits
sion and gradually Translate
road came into existence that has
been improved as the automobile
became more insistent on better
roads.
Mr.. Kimberlin believes that 1926
will see a heavier automobile traf-
fic east and west across Arizona
than ever before

The Newspaper
Headline
By GEORGE S. APPLEGARTH,
in The New York World.

TNHE life of the editor who pre-
pares news copy for publication
and writes the headlines is, prf-
marily, one long struggle between
the expansive demands of bulg-
ing verbiage and the pinching re-
strictions of two immovable column
rules.
There are just SO many type
units possible in any given headline.
Some heads admit of more, some
less, but the copyreader can not
choose. The makeup of the paper
requires certain head on certain
story 1t is handed to him with
the copy chiefs directions, and he
must make the best of it.
The average single column
spread head carries thirteen or
fourteen units, or average-sized
letters, such as A, B, G., d, E, to
the line. The | is the copyreader's
best friend, the w and NJ are his
bitter foes. Now you may begin to
perceive why the copyreader pre-
rfers a "cop" to a patrolman, 'gob"
to a bluejacket, bandit to a
highway robbef, a 'solon' to a leg
islator and a love nest to place
of designation You may also sense
his despair on receipt of a consti-
tutional convention story, and even
dimly feel the frenzied rage that
swells up within him at thought of
a person who would designate him
self as a fundamentals. 'Uncon-
Istitutional' is fine, massive
mouthful as it rolls ponderously
over the parapet of a supreme
bench, but just try to tell the world
something about it in three lines
of fourteen letters each, and with
out using a hyphen.
All headlines must be counted
and guaranteed to fit before they
go to the composing room, for there
rarely is time for any fussing or
fixing in case of misfit. Add to
! this the contingency that the story
comes in ten minutes before the
headline" is important news, is
deep laden with libel breeding
/ grammar and typographical imper-
fections, and must be read and cor
rected sheet at time and shot
along to the composing room with
head to come"
Now how much delicate discrimi-
nation may one devote to the nice
ties of verbal expression under
such conditions?
The copyreaders, therefore, be-
come adept at making big ones
into little ones" and at coming more
or. less apt expressions which in
one or two words convey mean
ing not otherwise attainable except
by the use of many words.
They are due almost entirely tC
the cropping after concrete forms
of expression that will convey in 6
word or phrase something that
otherwise would require a wordS
explanation. Taft was the editors
favorite. President Roosevelt es
capped unpopularity only because
he could be called ST. r."
