ana the balance ot the journey $ through country without timber of any kind.
 The relay from Chlnik crosses Col oVin sound, distance of miles, and then over small rolling hills for T miles to Cheeukuk, on the coast Of Boring sea; then west along the shore for F miles to Bluff, a small placer mining camp, where another relay team of Si- berian sled dogs is waiting to make the run to Port Safety, 30 miles up the coast
 We are now 55 miles from Nome, and travelling al night. The eleven dogs in the team are of the same variety as those that crossed Norton sound. We are on the ice on the edge of Boring sea with high perpendicular hills and mountains coming down to the ocean. The travelling here is very good for a distance of 10 miles, and then we pass from the sheltering hills and are ex- posed to the full fury of a north wind that sweeps down over flat country. There is almost 30 miles of this flat country ahead of us, and a great DOT tion of our trail is on sand beach be tween the ocean and 3 great lagoon. We are now crossing the ice at the mouth of Solomon river. The storm is increasing and has reached the propor- tions of blizzard. It is impossible to see the trail in the blinding snow. and we must trust to the instinct of the lead dog to 6nd the way.
 We are now in the vicinity of Port Safety, where there are several build ings and where dog team and driver are waiting to take the last relay, a distance of 23 miles, to Nome but in the driving snow ond bowling wind we fail to see the place. The wind is from the north, and we are travelling almost due west. The force of the wind seems lessened, and we are on shore ice. pass ing the high bluff of Cape Nome, which iuts out across the low country and forms precipice to the waters edge, We are soon beyond Cape Nome, and again the blizzard strikes us with re doubled fury. The dogs show signs oi weariness, but are urged on by the driver. Through the drift we catch 2 glimpse of buildings to our right. We are passing the abandoned military barracks of Fort Davis, , miles from Nome. The dogs are aware of the proximity of their destination and show little more vim. Soon they are en- tering the sheltering lee of buildings that comprise the eastern section of the beach. Now they are near the center of the town-it is 5 o'clock in the morning, but several people are up and waiting. These announce to the suffer ing ones that the serum has arrived.
 Relief has come to the stricken peo- pie, but only partial relief. The 3C0, ,00O units of serum is only sufficient for the treatment of twenty patients. In few days the larger consignment from oe atlle will be on it's way from the gov ernment railroad to Nome.
 The story of the relay race by day and night to Nome will stand as a classic in the annals of Arctic rapid transit.

JUSTICE AND MERCY.

Paternal justice tempered with mercy is not
d new-fangled thing that has just come in with
the study of psychology. An old-timer recalls
an event of his youth which modern parents
might well consider. He had been rather care
less and had broken eseveral things around the
house. Then, in game of ball in the back
yard he smashed the glass in the pantry win
dow.
Instead of scolding the boy and then calling
up man to repair the window the father
simply told the youngster to put his ball away,
measure the broken pane, go down to the store
and buy lump of putty, scrape away all the
dried putty and set new pane of glass prop
Ierly.
The boy did as he was told. The removal of
the dried putty turned out to be no easy task
When the father came home he examined the
window carefully, found the job was done
right and then sized up the thumb sWathed in
la bandage. He commended the job.
It does not require the aid of psychologist
to figure out the respect that must have been
developed in William that day for his father,
for window panes, and for the qualities of
justice and mercy.

WARS AFTERMATH.

Many strange acts of injustice are
found in the aftermath OF war.
Take the case of Capt. Nathan Will
liams, who has undergone q opera
tions in government hospitals for in
juries he received during the war.
He enlisted, was made an emer-
gency officer, led an attack against
German stronghold, and was painfully
and seriously wounded i. a bayonet.
Yet he is placed on the retired list
of the army without pay, because he
was an emergency officer. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if Williams ever'will
be able to do mans work again.
But he is denied the quarters
pay of retired officer, while other
men who never left swivel chair in
Washington during the war receive
it. Naturally many such injustices
will grow out of war. The govern
ment really can't be blamed for them,
but it can be blamed for not doing
everything in its power to correct
such things.
Williams made great sacrifice, as
did his own son, who slipped into the
navy when only 13 years old and was
seriously wounded on the torpedoed
ship, the Jacob Jones.
This government can't do too much
for men of that type. But it is moth
ing short of criminal when the gov
eminent fails to give such heroes
what they deserve.

LUCKY TO LAND IN JAIL.

Landing in jail is not ordinarily considered
a piece of good luck, but it was just that for
six men in Kenosha over the week end. They
were lucky that they did not end either in the
morgue or in the hospital, but rather in the
hands of police officers who put them IN jail
there they ran no chance either of harmlng
themselves or others. Some were even luckier
by gaining their release later under heavy
bonds for their appearance in court.
The six men to whom we refer are the ones
who were arrested Saturday night for driving
an automobile while intoxicated. In nearly
every instance they were taken into custody
after an accident caused by the fact that the
mind of the driver was so muddled that he was
incapable of handling the car which he was
driving.
Certainly the providence that watches over
children and FOOLS" has new charge in the
person of the drunken driver. Most of us
would rather trust ourselves in the path of an
automobile driven by child than in the path
of one driven by drunken man. The child, at
least would be frightened enough to realize
the danger -befuddled man usually
imagnes that he is perfectly all right" and is
even less cautious than a child would be.
The arrest of six men for driving while in
toxicated within two days in Kenosha is evil
dence that it is high time that something more
be done to curb this menace. Evidently those
who are accustomed to imbibe liquor here have
not yet learned that they are endangering
their own lives and the lives of others by driv-
ing an automobile after they have had their
nips. Not only is it necessary to deal severely
with these men, if they are found guilty, but
the attempt to remedy the situation should not
stop there. These six men got their liquor
somewhere; the responsibility for their condi-
ton lies not only upon themselves but also up
on the men who sold them the liquor.
With six men caught, it is very evident that
liquor is flowing rather freely in Kenosha or
in Kenosha county. 1t is well to deal with
these men who have violated the law and
thereby endangered others, b. will be better
il, after they have had their day in court
steps be taken to cut off the supply of liquor
as effectually as possible.

NATIONAL DIsCoURTEsY.

| writer in the Baltimore Sun remarks that
Canada puts this country to shame in the
matter of courtesy to the travelling public, He
finds hotel employees especially considerate and
obliging in Canada, and only TOO often the op-
jposite in the States.
Kipling made the same criticism years ago,
with special regard to railroad employees. A
courteous question put to an American rail-
road clerk or conductor, he said, was usually
disregarded or answered by contemptuous
grunt, especially if the questioner were obvi-
ously a foreigner.
There has been some advance in both
these domains of public service, but any OBJ
servant person knows that there is still room
for improvement. And better manners are
needed more in certain other branch of
public accommodation than in those mentioned
There is probably more discourtesy to the
square foot in American theaters than any,
where else in the world. Sef-interest, if not
natural breeding, would seem to suggest better
manners among ticket-sellers and other thea
trical folk in their public contacts. Con some
body explain the mystery?

doing was to enrage the Germans, retard IN
dustrial production in Germany and interfere
with the normal process of collection France
got less with her armies than she had got with
out them.
Sword-rattling gave way to reason and con-
Citation Germans, being human, responded.
The present outlook is that Germany will meet
her obligations willingly and fully, as agreed
upon under the Dawes plan. And France now
plans to withdraw her troops from the Rhine.
1t looks like new era. That way lies hope.
The other way could only lead to further war.

END OF ARMED OCCUPATION.

On the very day that the treaty of Locarno
was signed, the last French troops marched
out of the Ruhr. Germany's great industrial
region is now completely in the hands of its
owners again for the first time in nearly three
years.
So ends the great adventure entered upon
so gaiy by the sword-ratting Poincare. When
Germany failed in some obligations assumed
under the Versailles treaty, he conceived no
remedy but armed force. Deferred payments,
in kind and cash, were to be collected by
armies. But all that his armies succeeded in

ARE MAJoRITIEs EVER ABSURD?

Absurdity of the majority, when it seeks to
regulate personal life, habits, customs and
consciences is as intolerable as the tyranny of
an absolute monarch according to Walter
Lippman of the editorial staff of the New
York World in an address delivered before the
Indiana State Teachers association at Indian
apolis.
"The majority is a sovereign power, which,
like every sovereign power king, prince or insti-
tuition is toerable only if kept strictly within
constitutional limits" said Mr.. Lippman.
Lippman voiced his opposition to the Tennes-
see authorization law on the ground that he
opposes the doctrine of the divine right of
kings, because it is an assertion of autocratic
power which is incompatible with free and
ordered civilization"
The opinions of majorities which today seek
to regulate personal lives and customs, are not
Spontaneous judgments" the editor declared.
''They are worked up, stored up, arranged and
calculated by men, some of them sincere and
some of them insincere. The little red school
house has made it easy for the propaganda to
flourish"
If the Tennessee authorization statute is
justified because a majority wants it, Lippman
said, it amounts to saying, "a legislature can
repeal the multiplication table and wipe out the
law of gravity" He added that this doctrine
would reduce the government ito an absurity."
"There is no particular wisdom in MAORI
ties,' he said. "The majority will be right
only when it is enlightened"
In many respects, Mr.. Lippman is right in
his conclusions Majorities, as majorities are
obtained, often are intolerable, but they are
many times not real In reality they are too
often the minority who alone take an active
interest in the matter at hand, while the ma
jority sit idle and permit them to carry on.
This is a nation where majorities must rule,
but public issues should only be decided by a
complete expression of all concerned. Minori-
ties should never be permitted to become ma
jorities.

RoweH Says
Bv CHESTER H. ROWELL

Anita Whitney, California social
worker and philantropist, enrolled
herself for time as member of
the short-lived Communist Workers
Party.
She attended one organization meet
ing, where her only activity was to
report a resolution favoring the use
of the ballot rather than of illegal
methods to redress wrongs. The radi-
Gals at the meeting voted the resolu-
tion down, on the plea that political
methods were impotent.
Another branch of the organization
is claimed to have passed resolu-
ton indorsing the Third Information
ale, and that Internationale, in Mos
COW, is understood to have passed reso-
buttons, which, if done in America,

would be illegal here.
ism" of California, Miss Whitney was
convicted of membership in an illegal
organization and sentenced to from
one to Ia years in the penitentiary.
A lot of friendless "bums" were SEN
now serving time in prison.
Miss Whitney, having wealth and
influence, carried her case from court
to court, but now, by the refusal of
the supreme court to accept judisdic-
ton, her last resort is gone, and she
too is to go to prison, for crimes
which she did not commit nor adj
vocate but which had been advocated
by an organization related to another
organization, which, in turn, had re-
lations to an organization to which
she belonged, but in which she had
opposed these doctrines.
The party itself went out of exist
ence a few days later, but anybody
who once enrolled IN it is a criminal,
and several of them are in prison.
Miss Whitney, as the only conspic-
uous one, may succeed in making the
injustice of it also conspicuous.

Little Chance For Dawes Victory.

Doubtless nothing will be done at
the next session of the Senate to
carry out Vice President Dawes plan
for the reform of the Senate rules.
Senator'S do not want to reform
them; still less to be driven to do so
by a mere vice president. But the
fact that Senator Underwood will in
troduce resolution for them guar
antees at least hearing and dis
cussion. And that, in the long run,
is enough.
Darkness does not have to be driv-
en- out by light The mere presence
of light negatives darkness. And the
ways of senate procedure are dark.
One discussion may not cure. them.
But it will make their permanent re-
tention impossible.
