The speech was published today in
Arnaldo's paper, Popolo D'Italia.
There is no need to laugh at this
act. signed with much solemnity by va
rious great powers. Italy included" the
speaker said, but If we want to be sin
cere and also severe We must say that
there is IN this Kellogg pact and in
manifestations for its signature n1u-

transparent ilsincerity.
Quotes Pope.
IF We want to be benevolent in Our
Judgment we can say that having
signed the pact at Paris, in the capital

war, it was a platonic gesture. The
Papacv was right when 1t said the Kel-
logg pact is not a novelty but already
the l000-year-old patrimony of the
Church of Rome
Anyway, 1t is true that politics is
an ugly fiction and all this outcry
against war while We arm ourselves
secretly against an act of reprehensible
insincerity in this twentieth century
allows the supposition that it is an
adrcit, crafty attempt at salvation for

The order issued by Admiral H. A. Wiley, of the United States Fleet, against the of "gob' in ships newspapers will of course be met with prompt compliance; but it is doubtful if this peculiar word will be easily eliminated from the sailorman's vocabulary
 The name seems to be a sailors whimsy, and to have gained general acceptance without any deinable reason. The word-sound is one of the most ancient among the Northern European peoples; it particularly in among the Cels, both noun and verb It has number of legitimate meanings among the Welsh and in English is used to describe mine props, the human mouth, any sort of heterogeneous mix ture, a birds beak hungry fellow who is boasful and tells 'tall' tales. The verb gobble is generally known. But most of the accepted meanings of gob are now considered either as col loqual, obsolete or slang. The elegance of our modern speech had seemingly discarded the word when it possessed the rank and file of the United States Navy. It is doubtful if any of those who it to describe sailor could give convincing reason for doing so Apparently it is as far-fetched ''poilu," "bocho" Tommy Atkins" "gyrene' "doughboy' and other undig- nifed names which soldiers, sailors and marines have given themselves.
 Bluejackets is neither descriptive nor satis- lying; and to be in accord with navy term inology 1t would have to be made blue blouses Sailor designates a merchantmen as we'll as a navy man.

SHOULD START ON PLANS NOW.


 Now is the time for Juneau Olympia and the Tacoma Yacht Club which 1t is announced will sponsor the 1929 Capital to Capital Yacht Race, to start planning for that event It is no small task to stage such undertaking. The first work done on the 1928 race started on July IA 1927 almost twelve months ago. And the campaign to make it a success, which it was in every way, was not allowed to drag for day
 No sporting event in recent history of the Pacific Northwest certainly none ever staged in Alaska has had the amount of valuable publicity this race was given Some of the largest news gathering and disseminating organizations in the world had representatives covering it. Great news reel movie companies filmed the more im- portant scenes and the demand for pictures was and will continue to be heavy This is bound to create widespread interest among yachtsmen not only on the Pacific but also the Atlantic Coast. A campaign for next years at this time while the current one is still fresh in everyone's minds would naturally be more effective than one launched several months from when general interest has Jagged.

The High Court Speaks.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

The United States Supreme Court may not be nfalible, but it reasonably is right in a great many instances. It just has held that the Reed Investigating Committee, which is credited with having uncovered the so-caled slush fund and election scandals, did net have the authority to sue Pennsylvania officials to compel them to turn ballots when the officials refused to do so.
 The nations High Court brushes aside the insistence of the committee that it had authority given it to perform such other acts may be necessary holding that this not authority to do everything the committee wished to do.
 In other words. the Court held that the com mittee could net construe this to mean authority to the judicial processes of the United States
 This should be accepted sound law, as being founded in conscience and reason, as all law should be. It defines limit to Senatorial powers, and the decision should be accepted with feelings of gratitude by the general public. It time the Senate should be checked in its assumptions of a right to invade the province of the Courts
 It is all right that both Republicans and Democrats should have rendered service to the country is defending the best standards of public conduct but it was not right that the Senate should abuse and misuse the alleged power sup posedly in it's hands It rather presumptuously assumed to extend it's activities into judicial and administrative acts. It sought to direct govern ment and to punish individuals brought before it. Here, the Supreme Court of the nation says, it went beyond its powersl. It reserved the right-in the Smith for example--to de- termine the kind of individual who might be elected by State. This is going a bit too far Smiths credentials valid, no matter what Smith may may not have been. That was the business of the State of Illinois. The Senate asserted the right to nullify the election of sovereign State. It therefore claimed prero- gatye not heretofore claimed by it, and it fur ther assuined the right to go into the equities of particular lawsuit. But the Court has spoken. It has stood by the Constitution It has defined Senate authority. It may be com pelled to assert redeinitions of this Senate authority. But 1t may be trusted to do so American democracy is still intact

At the end of 1927 the United States still well in the lead and seemed to be in position to re- tain it's position at least for many years to come.
