educational situation in ST. CrOiX, not
failing TO disclose that a large amount of
money is expended on education without
a corresponding result. Among other
things DIR. Canegata stated that educa-
ton is not so valuable that we can afford
to waste money on it; we'll said in our
opinion. The commission has so far
visited some seventeen Of the schools

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When Dr. Caldwell started 20
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs Tor a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal. quiet lives, ate plain.
wholesome food, and got plenty OF
fresh air aud sunshine. But even
that carly there were drastic
physics and purges for the relief OF
constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human
beings to put into their system. So
ne wrote a prescription Tor a laNa-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name OF DR.. Cald !
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women. children and elderly people.
and they need just such mild. safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling
liquid laxative in the world. The
fact that millions OF bottles arc
used year proves that ii has won
the confidence OF people who needed
it TO set relief from headaches,
biliousness. hatulcnce, indigestion.
loss of appetite and sleep. bad
breath, dyspepsia. colds and fevers.
Millions Of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin, and il you will once start using
it you viii also always have bottle
/ handy for emergencies.

"Cordcya First" Movement.
(Crodova Times


 The Daily rmes suggests that the Chamber of Commerce appoint campangn committee for cordoYa First movement, on six definite achievements for Cordova as the goal for the movement. The six hope-for results include:
 The awakening Of better business and civic spirit
 Expansion of the present activities of the Chamber of Commerce in behalf of cordoya
 The beginning of new efforts by the Chamber or Commerce, including the development of the task in securing extension of the Eyak high way an aviation field and cold storage plant for Cordova
 The development of a broad plan of advertis- ing the advantages of Cordova to the whole world.
 The development Of plan to welcome tour sts, visitors and new citizens to Cordova and
 Out of the new and better loyalty to the city attained in the movement to make the path easier for future movements that will seek to better CordoVa.
 The last of our sxpoint program for cordova is the most important. It will achieve the per manence of slogan, "Cordova First We are trying to plan movement for Cordova that will not be just quickly passing phase of our towns history, but continuous, permanent effort for town
 It is well recognized that one of the pres ent urgent needs of Cordova is a more intense loyalty to the community on the part of all of her citizens. Logically. the first step in move ment for the betterment of Cordova would be an energetic campaign for reviving and enlarging town pride and town loyalty
 Our second plank is logical step in y; Cor dova improvement program, too The things our Chamber of Commerce has done and is doing for Cordova, are all vitally helpful to the town. The Chamber has expended effort in the right direction, but it has not been able to do as much as it wished to do should do because of the limitation of it's financial support. Every citizens at time other has said that cordova needs new industries and needs to | I. oI.. recognized too, the need for advertising our commercial and scenic advantages to capitalists and tourists, and to citizens as we'll.
 Many of us have the need for a definite program of courtesy and welcome for tourists and new citizens within gates. We make lCordova an even more attractive place to visit or for residence, and above all we must fix our I civic loyalty and civic pride on a permanent foundation, which we will build constantly I for the Greater Cordova every citizen dreams of for his town.

LIABILITY OR ASSET?

Has it another potential nsurgent in its midst who will heed the call of the party whip, is the question that is vexing the Administration over the appointment of Bronson Cutting to fill the uneypired term of late Sen ator A. A Jones. Democrat of New Mexico. Nom inally a Republican, Mir. Cutting, who is editor of Il newspaper at ,Sante Fe, has not always needed the clarion call of his organization lead CTS Back in 1912 he left the fold to follow the Progressive movement and took prominent part in it's activities in his State. More recently he refused to support the candidate of his own party and espousad the cause of John Morrow, Democrat. who now represents New Mexico in Washington as Representative at large.
 MT Cutting appointed recently by Gov. rnlca. a Republican, to the seat in the Senate left vacant by the death just before the holidays of Senator Jones. Administration leaders hope he will line up with the regulars despite his waverings of former years. With his vote the Administration will have majority of one in the Senate giving it 47, the Democrats 46. one Farmer Laborite, and two seats. from Penn sylvania and the other from Illinois, vacant

SEATTLE-ALASKA AIR MAIL

Of interest to Alaskans is the proposal of the Seattle Chapter of The National Aeronautical Association to establish air mail route be- tween Seattle and Alaska There is nothing in- possible in the project and it's realization would add much to the present mail facilities Prob ably the operation of planes over such route would be more difficult to maintain regular schedule than over routes now established in the States Despite the fact that large communi- ties are be served in the Territory, the super iority of air mail for speed over steamer mail despatches would divert very large proportion of first class mail to the former and once estab- lished dependable basis, passengers would be available in abundance. Air mail between Southeastern Alaska and Seattle, if practicable proposition, should prove profitable to the con tractor the route in the States.
 It seems aso that the time has when Government contracts for air mail service should be available to the interior communities ill which commercial aviation has been developed on a sub stantial scale It has been so developed at Fair banks and is being brought to that stage at Anchorage The Territory has constructed many landing fields by means of which planes operate steadily between them and Fairbanks Pliers have covered many thousand miles without any thing approaching a serious mishap. Mail serv- ice between the rahead at Fairbanks and inter- ]. for and northern points at the very best Is slow and inadequate. It could be vastly improved by the use of airplanes and in all probability without adding much to the cost of the present service. Thus, the establishment of air mail routes in Alaska hnterland would serve two fold service. It would benefit the remoter com munities and, also, give new impetus to com mercial aviation, the pioneer industry of po- neer country.

Jargon About Parity.
Manchester, Eng. Guardian.

Manchester, Eng, Guardian.)
 This country's interest in President Coolidge's message to Congress will center mainly upon his references to the naval situation. They are not helpful. They appear to show exactly the same kind of outlook we have learnt to pect from Government spokesmen. Presi- dent Coolidge that is to say, is more capable of lifting the controversy out of the arithmetica mire than is Admiralty. He complains that our representatives take line which will
 necessitate" in any treaty of naval limitation an increase in American building. The necessity can only arise because President Coolidge is obsessed with the notion that America must have exact parity in naval strength with Great Britain and must therefore build many ships of every class Great Britain, irrespective of her real needs. In other words, if Great Britain did not build them America would not This is in flat contradiction with his further statement that America "has put away the Old World policy of competitive armaments." On the contrary, America is pushing precisely that poll icy, just certainly own Admiralty have never departed from it. The word parity, in deed, have other meaning than that if either Great Britain America builds up to a certain naval strength the other will proceed to do likewise And that is the essence of com pettive building. Whether parity should con sist of rough equality of strength or of exact equality in every class of ship is by comparison small matter, though the latter conception, which is the American, will clearly make com petition the acute But neither concep- ton is compatible with the assertion, repeated with equal soemnity both sides of the At lantic that not building against each other. That assertion will only be true the I lips of the Government which is bold enough l to say that it's building program will be entirely unaffected however many ships are built by the other. That is the for which we wait in vain
