NEW YORK - Service on the Inter-

clared that only 1929 Of the usual num-

advisable to have inexperienced men

to believe that therelis deeper reason
for this restraint than general pre-
caution. Brooklyn people have keen

admirers of President Wilson think he should be given high CT honors.
 Let's hope that such a con- flict never comes to a head. It.would be highly regrettaDle. Roosevelt and Wilson were each worthy of an inspiring monument. Surely, Washing ton is big enough to hold q memorial for each of them.
 The United States should do all honor to two of our dis tinguished sons. Roosevelt and Wilson were as unalike as the sun and the moon, as far apart of the poles, yet they were both loyal Americans and de- serve all the honor that can be bestowed upon them.
 Each of these men served his country faithfully, striving to do the right as it was given them to see the right, and no man can deserve greater honor than one who has courageous carried on and given his best to the country. This, both Roosevelt and Wilson did.
 The deeds of Roosevelt and Wilson will endure as long as the record of American hist ory is preserved, For they are among the few men who need no memorials to keep theil memories green.

The "jury" in the Mitchell case has returned it's verdict and the verdict of course is guilty" The decision O. the iu.y was a foregone conclus- ion, but the degree of punish acnt was a question. The mili- Lary court found a way around that-the flying colonep' is suspended for five years, which puts him in disgrace, deprives him of pay and keeps him under army regulations for five years.
 Mitchell was tried for speak ing out of his turn" as the man in the street puts it. He was charged with saying what he said and he admitted he said it, so he had to be guilty. !" As a matter of the fact the verdict probably was not a dis appointment to Colonel Mitch ell as his chief ambition was get his case before the public and that was accomplished by thousands of columns of pub- licity. If President Coolidge does not tighten the sentence, press reports indicate Colonel Mitchell will resign from the service and no doubt devote his energies to air service re- forms.
 Colonel Mitchell's criticisms have served to focus public attention on the nations air service. With Congress pre- pared to act and the great ma jority of citizens insisting that aviation no longer be treated as an unwelcome stepchild, the preliminary steps have been taken to remedy the situation,
 MitchelPs career is just be- ginning. The people will not forget a man of courage, who had refused to join the bri- gade of officers that say what ever they are expectedto say covering the stupidity of su. periors that they may be re. warded with promotion.

The renomlnatlOn or Juuge Thomas M. Reed as judge of the District Court for the First Division has created general satisfaction throughout the district. Press and public are unanimous in the view that his reappointment has been well earned. He has filled the high ly difficult and exacting posit- ion in a thoroughly capable, conscientious and fearless manner that we'll entities him to receive first consideration at the hands of those to whom is given the duty of selecting the officials who shall preside over the administration of law and justice in the Territory. His renomination is credit to the national administration and a just reward to a good and faithful servant, who has lab ored assiduously and we'll for the public veal. That he should have been made the target for the false and scurril- lous attacks of malicious and irresponsible self seekers is regrettable. This, however, seems to be the common fate of all who are named for pub lie office in Alaska; soon or late they become the target for slanderous attacks from political self seekers or ire sponsible malcontents, most of whom are not adverse to sounding the uttermost depths of depravity in their repre- hensible efforts to islander and besmirch. Thanks to this de- plorable penchant few offic- ials are permitted to retire from office without encounter ing a shower of mud from this iniquitous fraternity. However, in the case of Judge Reed and his highly capable and effici- ent coadjutor in the admins tration of law in the district District Attorney A. G. Shoup the efforts of their traducers have had no other effect than to reveal in most convincing manner the high esteem ir which they are held by the mass of the districts reputable citizens, as well as by the ap' pointing powers in Washing. ton.

1857 Constitution
Anti Clerical.

TT was as a result of this radical pro
L capitalist revolution against the
landed aristocracy with its military
and clerical allies, that the anti
clerical constitution of 1857 was adopt
ed, separating church and state.
The first act of the constitutional
government was TO expel from the
country the high prelates and foreign
representatives whose activities had
helped to bring on the civil war.
But this did not end the scheming
OF the clericals. Together with the
other reactionary leaders, they turn
ed once more to the courts of Europe
and particularly to Napoleon III,
Emperor Of the French, whose greedy
eyes had been fastened on Mexico for
some time.
On the 18th of June, 1861. Benito
Juarez was proclaimed constitutional
president Of Mexico, and on the 31st
of October or the same year, France,
England and Spain signed a compact in
London pledging themselves to a joint
