HALO IS TARGET
FOR SHAFTS TODAY
Minister Speaks Of Modern Ten
denCy to Be[ittle Great Men

There is tendency in these times
to pull great men down to the STAN
dards of 1926-27, removing the halo
from their heads, according to Rev.
G. H. Schneck. who spoke to the
Kiwanis club today on George
Washington"
Rev. Mr.. Schneck stated that
while statement is true that Wash
ington and other great men, did
great things out of personal pride,
altruistic deeds always are matters
of self-respect. He quoted Edward
Box in the statement There is
faw way from egotism to self-re-
spect."
Rev. Mr.. Schneck spoke as fol-
lows:
-Four great leaders in the most
critical and decisive periods of
United States history were peculiar
ty alike in their temperament; they
even represent as to temper two ex-
tremes in two groups: General
Washington and General Grant, two
jamin Franklin and Abraham Lin
coin, these two men being inclined
to tighten their burden and their
task with sensible, we'll fitting
joke. In the case of George Wash
ington historical research has taken
away that traditional, lifeless per-
fectionism also in regard to the
cause of the well known serious ex-
preston Of his face. We have dis
carded the myth that Washington
never laughed and seldom smiled
because of the greatness of his char
acter and cares of his office. True
he smiled but rarely in public, and
was noticeably nervous whenever he
had to speak in public-all on &C
count of his facial defects about
which embarrassed him. Even in
his youth he had bad teeth and in
later years used a set of false teeth,
made of ivory which he tried to
hide. In true modern business fash
ion the manufacturer of new tooth
paste is making great deal out OF
this embarrassment of the father of
our country in his advertisements
At the same time George Washing
ton had that instructive, inarticulate
feeling which every true leader has
about the secret likes and dislikes of
the people he is to lead and he
fully realized that wit and humor
were incompatible in the mind of
his contemporaries with wisdom,
heroism and leadership. In this re-
spect the first president Of our coun-
try has been repeatedly compared
with our present president. In COM
ing into the atmosphere Of George
we cannot quite escape
the impression which the great Eng
lishman Lord Bryce in his unlimit-
ed admiration for our men and our
words thus: "Washing-
ton stands alone and unapproach-
able, like snow-peak rising above
its fellows
There is a whole school of Amer
lean writers of history who in this
age OF realism exhibit the fathers
of the republic not any longer in
fashion with halocs but as
men with failings and animated by
motives not always such as older
historians have credited them with.
This turning away from the Carlyle
fashion of hero worship is a serious
matter to the average American, for
have always been inter
ested in their national heroes as in
not only as parts of the
whole or wheels in the machinery.
The interest in biography is still in
Our colleges create de-
partments for biography. Ameri- /
cans especially do not like to sec
their heroes disfgured with human |
frailties. A young nation never
does.

no desire, ever, to prosecute case
in which there was any irregularity.'
Mr.. Slade, announced Il think VIC

to his seat.
While the court records were on
their way Mr.. Danaher outlined the
manner in which such an error
might have arisen had it actually
done so.
your honor addressed the grand
Jurors on the fact that there must
never be less than 16 present. he
said but did not tell them that there
was any limit to the size of the jury
"a jury is limited, in such cir
cumstances to 23.)
"Your honor just sent out a jury;
in precisely the same manner the
former one was sent out. The court
rests on it's decision. I assumed the
former to be legal"

craned forward including the law
yers in other cases, who had hitherto
showed little interest the clerk read
out the jury list. There had been
answers from so men. One man
had been excused, land I think one
or two or three may have been dis
missed" Mr.. Pickett concluded. 1t
was an insufficient number, and
automatically made the Indictment
invalid. Mr.. Danaher promptly
joined his request to that of the
counsel for the defense, in asking
that the plea of abatement be grant
ed and that the motion to quash
stand.
The answer was forthcoming i'm
mediately with decision handed
down from the bench by Judge
Thomas, declaring the indictment
against all the accused null and void.
Mr. Slade and Thomas J. Spellacy
had one further matter to attend to
the question of the subpoena of J.
Edgar Pike, secretary Of the Sol
vents Recovery of Danbury. whence
specially denatured alcohol was al
legged to have come to the Connecti-
cut Alcohol Distributors Company
Inc, in New Haven for illegal dis
tributon AS agreed between these
lawyers and Mr.. Danaher. for the
United States the books of the DAN
bury concern are to be accessible to
the government at any time and
Pike is not to be held beyond being
requested to produce them.
Those who were named in the in
dictments were:
The Solvents Recovery company Of
Danbury, the Connecticut Alcohol
Distributors Company, Inc, of New
Haven, Josef Adler, treasurer of the
Connecticut Alcohol Distributors
company and until a few weeks ago
a banker in New Haven, John A.

s.Dran,atizing Goodness
 By MANTHEI HOWE

The doctor motioned the mo ther to silence: All right, Don aid. We don't need you any more. You wait in the othe. room. There are some books or the table out there"
 You've turned the spotlight on Donald too frequently" began the doctor. 'He probably is a wee bit jealous of his baby sister. A sure way to get your attention and that of everyone else is 10 kick up didoes at the table. When he gets finicky about his food everybody comments on it. Don- aid feels even unpleasant com ments are better than being ig- nored."
 The mother began to appreciate that it might be so.
 "A husky six-year-old is' not likely to starve himself" the doc tor assured her. "See that plenty of good, wholesome food is served on the table When Donald re- fuses a certain food just IGNORE his behavior. When he tries to eat the disliked food PRAISE him. INSTEAD OF HELPING HIM TO DRAMATIZE HIS NAUGHTY MOODS. DRAMATIZE HIS GOOD NESS. Give him the center of the stage only on good behavior"
 Frequently restless, worri- some child in kindergarten or at home is behaving that way not because he is a bad child. but because he lacks affection at home. is jealous of someone, is a bit spoiled or because he is espe' cially fond of some grown person It is his driving desire to get into the limelight that makes him act so.
 Let him really understand that he will be ignored in such moods but appreciated when good, and his dramatic instinct will right about face in the more desirable direction.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1927-12-03

"The trouble with women la that they love to dramatize them selves" grumbled cynical baehe- Tor. "They are happy only when holding the center of the stage. ,
 Whether or not we agree with The bachelors estimate of wa. men, there can be little doubt that a similar dictum explains many of the vagaries of child hood.
 Children do like to dramatize. Correctly curbed this desire for dramatization leads the child into all sorts of pleasant by-paths. When such dramatization runs smuck then we are confronted by the problems of discipline.
 For instance, it is this egocen. tric dramatic instinct gone bolshe- wiki that makes certain children in Kindergarten want ALWAYS to choose the story. the song. the play or to lead in the games. r il the same instinct that in the home makes certain children seize all the treats, the toys, the privileges.
 When this self-dramatization in- stinct swings too far from the normal the child often is brought by his troubled parent to some physician's office.
 That is where Donald and his distressed mother found them selves one day.
 'Why. Donald doesn't eat an.'- thing unless serve just what he likes" walled his mother. "He won't eat tomatoes or cabbage; no potatoes except fried =. :"
 The doctor glanced quizzically at six-year-old Donald who sat on the edge of his chair, his head up. eyes shining, getting more and more of a delighted thrill with every item checked off to his discredit. He was enjoying himself as a star enjoys the plaudits of the public.

ELkS MOVED T0 SITkA AS FOOD
 SHORT AGE HITS
Kruzof Island Herd Found
 in Bad Shape Be Fed al Experiment Farm

Due to food shortage and pre- vailing snow conditions on Kruzof Island. the herd of five elks plac- ed there last summer by the AL aska Game Commission have been removed to Sitka, it was announc- ed today by President 0. T. Gard her of the Commission. They are being taken care of at the Government Agricultural Experi- ment Station for the present.
 One of the animals was found dead and the other five were in poor condition. The two adult elks and "a calf, already on the islend, could not be located.
 The condition of the herd was discovered by Ranger George Peterson, of the Sitka district. He reported it to the Commission here and suggested it would be cheaper to move the animals to Sftka and care for them there than to. attempt to feed them on
 
 the Island. sHe also superintend- ed their removal, after the Com mission had authorized it.
 {. Officials of the Commission ex- pressed the belief that the elks that had been on the island for the past Is months had made their way back into some of the valleys and were safe for the present at any rate. The herd placed there few months ago had not had time to become fa- miliar with their surroundings.
 The cold weather experienced early in November froze all vege- tation on the island as elsewhere in the district. This was follow ed by an unusually heavy fall of snow which covered up the for age plants, cutting off the source of food from the herd.

the last and final leg of land telegraph, i.e., between Valdez and Fairbanks, Seward handling the traffic by radio.
 Land Lines Transferred The land telegraph lines con 'structed by the Signal Corps and formerly used on the Richardson Trail, have been transferred to the Alaska Road Commission and are being made use of by that commission for communication purposes between it's various par ties. The system today is being operated at a less cost to the government than ever before in it's history and is turning into the Treasury from commercial re- ceipts more than ever before. In 1923 the receipts were $i99,749.16, upon completion of the laying of the new cable in the latter par. of 1924 the receipts increased to $213,00O annually, and for the fiscal year 1927 the total was $277,299.53.
 Further Improvements are be- ing made with a view to more ef ficient handling of traffic and the release of additional personnel by the installation at Ketchikan of modern cable relay equipment which will make 1t practicable for Seattle and Seward to work d. rectly with each ether, thereby doing away with relaying at Ketchikan."

 the system. Since 1907 constant study has been given to the ques- tion of replacement of the exten- sive land telegraph lines, in that year consisting of approximately 1,700 miles of pole line carrying approximately 5000 miles of tele- graph wire. The replacement@of the land lines by radio was Sin itiated in 1908 by the installation of spark sets with which it was practicable to handle traffic dur ing certain seasons only. Later, upon development of the vacuum tube, special Signal Corps sets were installed, for the smaller stations those having a range of 300 miles, and for the larger sta tions, those capable of working with every station in the terri tory. The transfer of the Seward station in 1926 from the Navy De- partment to the War Department, made it possible to do away with
