 THIS DIVISION TILL JULY

l Judge Hill has been advised by

 at Washington, D. C., that owing to the failure of Congress to pass the deficiency bill there is a shortage of funds for the payment of jurors and witnesses He has been directed that neither a grand or a petiet jury be called for July, the end of the fiscal year, unless unavoidable. Therefor it is probably he said, that no term would be called in Seward or Anch- orage for some time to come. It is planned, Judge Hill stated, for the court to make a trip to the Vest ward in July.
 A few naturalization cases came up before Judge Hill last Saturday as we'll as other minor matters. To- day. the Judge, accompanied by U i S. Attorney Coppernoll and Assist ant U. s. District Attorney Ellis, de- parted for Anchorage The court party proposed to return on Wednes- day.

Rev. w. w. Matthews

Rev. w. w. Matthews is great
worker, broad and liberal minded.
Of pronounced scholarship and pull
pit ability. His popularity NAV be
inferred from the fact of his having
been called to Philadelphia to take
charge of the Missionary Seer, the
official organ. Rev. Matthews paid
the Western Outlook a visit last
week on his,flving trip to California
He is making votes for his drive for
the bishorric at general conference
at St, Louis in 1928, and was verv
hopeful v her we met him. AL the
Western delegates, and we think
there are 18, seem to favor him.

ana his motel good character and
undolbfed fitness viii commend him
to manv of the general conference
delegates when lineup is formed.

Why NOT
Rev. T. Allen Harvey

In looking over the field for some
one to take the place of Rev. Mat
tlews as editor of the Missionary
Seer, in case of his election, we
suggest Rev. Harvey, the presiding
elder of California district. He is a
master mind in biblical theology an
well qualified for the position. 1t
would be a fitting testimony and
reward. 1t might appear to be a
queer coincidence. Rev. Matthews
and Rev. Harvey are Doth of Ca l.
fornia and it was through the Efforts
of DR.. Matthews that Rev. Harvey
was brought into the fold. 1t was
in Los Angeles at the time the Rev
Harvey was about to organize an
independent church. and he had a
wonderful following. California
will appreciate and feel highly hon-
ored il the election and appointment
are successful.

The Arts and Happiness

The fact that a lady in Des Moines, Iowa, has
seen fit to begin taking piano lessons at the age
of rs has been deemed sufficiently unusual to be
sent out newspaper press association wires and
to be printed in papers throughout the country
Probably the first remark this news will call
forth from most of us is, What is she doing that
for? What good will it do herr" And, at first
glance, it does if she acting rather
fooishy. For it takes a long time to become pro-
fcient pianist, and she hardly expect to turn
her new skill to much account in this world
Yet, if you stop to think about it, it becomes
apparent that this old lady is bit wiser than most
of She may perform in public; indeed
she may never progress much beyond the playing
of very elementary compositions; but she going to
get lot of personal enjoment out of it.
Americans might well take tip from her. We
too much inclined to think that the only reason
for studying music painting the like is the desire
to livelihood a musician or artist. We
forget that even slight acquaintance with any form
Of art adds immensely to ones enjoyment of life;
that to partake, in very limited way, of the
creative work of the musician or artist is to intro
duce funess and richness into ones life that are
beyond value.
1t seems odd, perhaps, to think of a banker or
realtor dabblng with water coors in his off hours;
to think of insurance salesman spending his
evenings playing the violin; to think of a com
mission merchant going home at night to compose
verses Yet many men do exactly those things, and
would not quit for worlds Their pictures are never
seen by outsiders; they play in public their
poems generally go unread by all but themselves
But that makes difference These men are hav
ing good time, and that is all that counts
Once the American people, as whole, realize
the enjoyment and satisfaction that even the most
unskful dabblng in the arts will bring, it is safe
to say that our music teachers, art schools and sc
going to do land Office business. The got
courses and baseball parks may lose bit of patron
age; but we'll be happier people.

Or the opinion of Charles H. Barrett of Phila-
delphia, who says that Sacco and Vanzettl are
radicals, traitors and wouldbe destroyers of lib
erty; who should be made to pay the penalty for
their crimes and may God have mercy their

Or the opinion of SO outstanding respectable
as the Rev. George A. Gordon, pastor of Old South
Church, Harvard overseer and author of Christ of
Today" who tells Governor Fuller that the judicial
system of Massachusetts, is in the hands of experts

Policy UnnaSked

1t is a waste of time to argue
whether Henry l.. Stimson threat
ened the Nicaraguan rebels. Our
policy has been that from the very
beginning. Nothing that he could
say would have made it stronger.
Nothing that he left unsaid could
have deceived anyone.
The United States has coerced
Nicaragua into accepting Adolfo
Diaz as president. We can call the
performance by any name that suits
our fancy, but that will not change
its character. Our government
simply told Nicaragua what to do
and sent marines there to show that
it meant business. Nicaragua has
complied because she had to.
We can describe the enterprise as
benevolent, but that will deceive no
one except ourselves.
Nicaragua knows exactly what we
haye done. SO does Latin America,
and so does the rest of the world.
