 In the. past this stretch of the river has been the source of con siderable complaint from travellers but this will be done away with when the new boat enters the service. In addition to the ac. commodations mentioned two bathrooms will be found among the other appointments.

DETAILS OF DEATH OF LOCAL MAN RECEIVED

H Additional details have been re- ceived here of the death of Radio Man Lonergan, former Juneau and Seward man, who, with Lieut.. Rhea, was killed in seaplan } accident "spotting" torpedoes off Point Loma. California, on Febru- ary 8, last. Lonergan was former ly radio man at the local gov ernment wireless station.
 He and Lieut.. Rhea were spot ting torpedoes, which means after torpedo is fired and has become exhausted, it floats near the sur face, and the plane locates it for the ship by "zooming," or diving to within a few feet of the water directly over the torpedo; the ship immediately comes and picks it up.
 It is said by men who saw the accident, that the plane had l"zoomed" the torpedo and was up about 400 feet, when Rhea made a left turn as though to zoom again. He apparently did not have sufficient speed and the plane went into spin.
 Not having enough altitude to gain control, they turned, or spun around twice and hit the water on their back, which undoubtedly killed both men instantly. A destroyer, which was but a couple of boat-lengths away, rush ed to the scene and madeg a. line fast to the plane, but the heavy seas broke the line and the plane went down in 800 fathoms of water.

THE ANCIENT CURSE.

the race.
Noah got drunk, and his sons took
the first step toward ultimate prohibition by be-
ing ashamed of him for it. From that day to
this both the innocent and the guilty have suf-
fered every time anybody got drunk
In the age-long search for deliverance from
this dual suffering, the drinker struggled with
himself; the non-drinker struggled with his
neighbor. Some were checked to a degree of
moderation. Millions of every generation broke
through all restraint and went the downward
road into sorddness and misery.
Regret followed drinking. Quarres and
fighting followed drinking. Murder and vice,
seduction and dishonor, idleness and vagrancy,
disease and poverty followed drinking.
And the innumerable evils could not be
cred up. Coarse laughter and horse-pay might
accompany carousal for a night, but the morrow
exacted payment in full. Worst of all, lest sure
footed sorrow prompt reform, the poison of the
cup left it's tiny flame in blood and tissue to cry
aloud for quenching in another drink.
Throughout all time, too there have been
those who watched and worked for remedy-for
some promise of redemption from the curse
The humane, the devout, the charitable; patriot
and idealist; prophet priest, dreamer-all have
pied, preached, prayed, agonized, legislated, in
search of a cure. Every imaginable method has
been tried with little or no success until at last
we have reached the present experiment of pro-
hibitive destruction of sources in the trade it
SELF No method ever tried was so logical,
promising, as the legal Punishment of the whole
business.
Every curative method tried in the past
reused bitter opposition. 1t is not surprising
that there men today whose interests and
appetites drive them into furious warfare against
prohibition. Greed for gain in its most pitiless
form, and lust for fun of the lowest type, are
always the chief incentives of the champions of
liquor.
And those champions have waxed mighty in
power in the last few decades, equipped as they
are with modern methods of mass production and
worldwide transportation; with fabulous invest
ments of capital; with long training in dsreput-
able politics; with easy access to many of the
worlds best channels of publicity; and with the
eager cooperation of all the loud-speakng i'm
mortalities of this extraordinary age Verify,
of all those principalties and powers and world
rulers of this darkness against which Paul calls
the church to array itself in the whole armor
of God, the liquor traffic is the mightiest and
most militant.
The conflict is a tug-of-war between right

GLOOM SPREADERS.

TOW long would the morale of business
n man last if every person he met contin-
ually told him he engaged in a rot
ton line of business which had no future and
would surely drive him to the poor house?
How long would man engaged in any work
continue in his position and try to do his best
if every person he met told him he wasn't being
paid half enough wages; that his work didn't
amount to anything anyway, and that he couldn't
ever hope to amount to anything at the job he
was on? Yet, this is the doctrine the friends"
of the farmer are preaching to him every day
in the week. They tell him he is engaged in
the most hopeless and Improbable job in the
world; that his position is worse than that of
the poorest paid laborer in the cities; that he
is the poor dupe of all other people, and that the
future holds nothing for him but the life of the
poorest European peasant. Who are these
preachers of discomfort? Are they not the pol
iticians who seeking the farmers vote? Are
they not certain class of business who
seeking the farmers patronage by posing
as special friends of the farmer? Are they not
in nearly every instance persons with lakes to
grind selfish interests to serve? We may
be mistaken but it seems to that words of
encouragement are better than words of dis
enlargement. We may be mistaken, but it
seems to ever helped in perform
ing hard task by being told that the task
hopeless one. We may be mistaken, but it
seems to US that decrying life on the farm is
scarcely the right way to keep the young folks
on the farm. We may be mistaken, but be-
leve that every man, woman and child works
a little better when the sun is shining than when
the day is dark and cold and dreary.-Luverne

SEWARD NEEDS NEW
 SCHOOL BUILDING
 DECLARES URBACH

With the authority to bond the town of Seward for $5O,O0O to build new school building, there is no reason why the people of Seward should not be strong for it, stated Leon Urbach, local business man, yesterday, He quotes the Folly;
 ard get a new school building from
 both the financial and educational standpoint
 From the educational standpoint it can easily be summarized that at pres ent the educational facilities the build ing affords are inadequate. In the high school building, although vast improvement over previous years, the class rooms are too small, do not af-
 ford enough blackboard space and are not free fFom disturbances. The disturbances being caused by not hav- ing railways or any means of getting l. from one classroom to another with out going thru some other room, al- ways creating annoyance.
 With the small claassrooms, only a limited number of subjects can be taught. This is what is now keeping the Seward High school from becom- ling an accredited school
 From the financial viewpoint it is seen that for period of one year the people of Seward have paid money for the leasing of a building that was never intended to be an educational institution.
 At present a lease has to be paid on the building Instead of doing this, this money could be used to bet ter advantage in erecting new build ing, which, after a period of years, would be paid for. Therefore, since Seward will eventually need a new school building, why not now, before any more money is spent under the present system of leasing.

AN ORIENTAL LESSON

FOR many years ! have been
pointing out the bad effect that
comes from using too much starchy
food. Apparently, the Orientals have
come to realize that their downfall
and retrogression are due to the
use of too much rice. A writer in
japanese publication has pointed
~ brought out some interesting
comparisons between the diet of the
Oriental and that Of the Occidental
world. He said in part:
China was once the forerunner
Of civilization, but now she has
dropped from the first line # prog
ress. Is this not the result Of
her rice diet? The people of Java
also have refrigerated because of
this diet. The people of the Orient
and of the South Seas feeding on
rice cannot keep step in the march
of civilization with Europeans and
Americans. The retrogression of
India, great in the olden days and
famous fer her culture, is entirely
due to the rice diet Of her people.
Our own ancestors, it would seem,
had large physique and superior
brain power at one time. But as
in Irdia and China, with the intro
duction of Buddhism, they lost the
habit Of eating meat. And from
the lack Of needed vitamins they
suffered deterioration of body and
brain. The reason why the Japan
csc have today brain power so far
superior to the Chinese is because
Of the seas that surround them on
all sides. They enjoy the opportun-
ity of catching fish and gathering
sh ~ food"
This writer has the opinion that
much Of the yellow color in the
Oriental skin is due to the heavy
rice diet, although the climatic
conditions of Japan are not SO diff
ferent from those Of Europe and
America. When the fair skinned
European or American stays long in
japan his skin gradually acquires
peculiar yellow tinge. White peo-
ne turn black under the African sun,
but when they return home their
skin resumes its original white color.
Those Orientals living in the larg-
er cities where green vegetables
and meat may be more easily pro-
cured do not have as dark skins as
those natives living in the interior
whore rice is the principal food.
There is no doubt but that the
white polished rice NAV be used un-
der the proper conditions. and in.
proper quantities with he right mix
ture of green vegetables and meats,
but polished white rice alone makes
an unbalanced diet and one sadly
lacking in vitamins and organic
minerals. Those who wish to use
rice in their diet will do better to
use the unpublished or brown rice
which can now be secured in any
health food store and in many Of the
larger groceries. This u: processed
rice is fully as wholesome as whole
wheat. 1t ma, be used as a mush.

according to authoritative estimates. That
means more and wider thoroughfares and I'M
proved methods of traffic control both in and
out of the cities.
Past experience should have taught both
public and government that it is dangerous and
costly to wait until traffic conditions become
intolerable and then rush blindly in to remedy
them.
The number Of automobiles and trucks on
the roads today surely justifies exhaustive
study of probable traffic requirements and
the taking of necessary steps to anticipate
those future needs. Let those administrations

Liberty

When a man exclaims that he is free man
he speaks in particularities rather than in gen.
eralities. In the United States all men are free
in so far as they cannot be bought and sold as
chattels or slaves and to the extent that they
can hold public office and possess the elective
franchise.
It is right and proper for men to seek and
glory in freedom, but absolute liberty is in
compatible with civilization. Every law takes
away liberty, and congress, legislatures and
municipal governments are enacting new laws
momentarily. Customs are laws which can
not be violated with impunity. Employers
and employees are masters of each other. Men
who take unto themselves wives and acquire
progeny are at liberty to do and act as per-
sonal wishes dictate. No man is at liberty to
operate his automobile as he wills because
there are traffic rules, the rights of others and
statutes to be observed. But to continue in
this manner might convince us that there is
no freedom, that the black slave had more
freedom than our first citizens.
But there are two ways of looking upon the
restrictions of civilization One is that every
restriction is = denial of an inalienable right
of the individual. The other is that every re-
striction iberates each individual from the
trespassing Of other individuals. Legislation
is q concomitant of civilization. We enact, en-.
force and obey laws not for our restriction, but
for our protection.
We have not outgrown the proverb zone
mans rights end where another's begin"
