THE COUNTRY IS SAVED. !!

]. The old Alaskan superstition that the country is saved-plenty of food Gor all for another year--still holds good, for yesterday and today the main topic of conversation is that 'ooligans" are running. Restaurants arc serving the delicious little fish and the same is graciHg the tables e many homes in Seward today. Up around tlfe Nome country these fish were at one time used for candles. Strange, but true. The Eskimos per mitted the fish to freeze and sticking them upright in clay container, would light one end, like a candle.

STRANGER, STRANGE LAND

Dr. Wilson, Seattle physician. was guest at yesterdays Chamber of Commerce luncheon, but had little to say owing to the fact he is new to the country. He likes the country and the hospitality of the people has impressed him. He said he was a stranger in strange land and hoped to come back some day.

MAY GIVE LINDBERGH PEACE AWARD

The suggestion had been made t6sthe Trus- tees of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation that the Wilson Peace Award be conferred Col. Charles A. Lindbergh on the basis of his good will Ambassadorship to Europe South and Gen. tral America. The Foundation created i'll 1920 and endowed with fund of $1,000000. It was created largely through the Instrumental ity of two women, Mrs. Charles E. simonson and Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany, both of New York City. who conceived the idea, after Wilson award- ed the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920, that similar foundation should be established in recognition of the national and international services of MT Wilson who had ''furthered the cause of human freedom and instrumental in pointing out effective methods of cooperation of the ib- eral forces of mankind throughout the world" An award from the income of the Foundation will be made from time to time by nationally constituted committee to the living individual who has rendered, within specified period, un- selfish public service of enduring value The amount of the award is not determined until the person on whom the honor is to be con ferred has been selected. When it was voted to Elihu Root in December, 1926, for his work in helping found the World Court, it was fixed at $25,000. There has been no selection for the peace award since that occasion.
 That Col. Lindbergh's service during the past year has been sgnally brilliant and of direct public value, few persons will question. The title Goodwill Ambassador not bestowed on him idly His every act has tended to confirm his right to It. True in becoming the worlds premier ong-disance flyer in his most recent exploits, he has earned for himself first place in the hearts of the people of the world. Possibly no other has been so decor ated. loved praised and hailed the conqueror of the trackless spaces of the air His personal triumph in the year since he winged his way the storm tossed waters of the Atlantic Ocean to Paris is the greatest of any individual in mod ern times. Through it all he has been a modest, unasuming American youth, virile, sensible and altogether manly representative of his and nation If these things count for public service, certainly his has been notable
 Of course, the committee may feel that Col. Lindberghs work has not been along the lines contemplated by the Foundation for Hs peace award. That is a matter which it must decide in the light of the information it possesses re- garding the organization and its purpose IT, however it finds the award be conferred on Col Lindbergh and confers it. it's choice un- doubedly will be most popular

Wash Day in the Senate.
(New York Times. ]

When the Senate really gets down to the business of legislation it dispose of an in numerabe grist of bills without making any fuss-or any headlines. Calendar Monday this serious occasion is called and the proceedings of the last one filled nearly sixty pages of the Con gressional Record From bill for bridge across the arm of Lake Memphremagog, Vermont to q discussion of the pay of immigration off cers gamut of local legislation duly re- ported in the newspapers of regions affected, but aside from that not reported at all. The casual reader might have thought next morning that the Senate had been dlng to the contrary, it had set example of diligence and dispatch.
 The Board of Directors of any corporation in the country would find study of those pages in the Reeord-2619 to 2,673-yery interesting While there were few signs of "logrolling," they were very few; and on the other hand there indications of vigilance to prevent the pas and Senator Bratton of New Mexico par ticularly active in this respect legislative touchdowns were made through them, and Sen ator Robinson of Arkansas, in his capacity minority leader. was backing up the front line of defense. The bills dealt with all forms of public works and generally with what are called relief bills," the petition of some for com pensation restitution from the Government These the measures which subjected to closest scrutiny, for it is a hard-hearted Senator indeed who refuses to introduce relief bills for constituents; and against these most often arises the watchdog's honest bark Senator Swanson of Virginia and Senator King had long debate about whether to reimburse postmaster in Virginia whose till robbed by burglar while she at luncheon. Was the drawer locked at all. locked insecurely?

In one report a public build ings authorization increase from $100. .000, 900 to $200, 900. Senator Robinson of Arkansas found the maximum printed "$2, 900 900. 900" in committee report but he informed that this were merely another trick of the types
 Very little politics, except the self-perpetuat- ing instinct for getting local bills passed is dis cernble in these Calendar Mondays Not only business men, but students taking quasi political courses, should read their proceedings for clear view of what Congress do when it is not debating thrd-term resolutions

They hate youth!" cried Falstaff as he fell upon the Gadsh travellers and perhaps that will be the cry of the younger sort when they hear of the gift of 200,O00 which has been made to Chicago University for the express purpose of encouraging medical research into the best ways of proonging the life of persons of middle and old age For the terms of the gift lay it down axiom that the later years of life represent the time when the intelligence Is at it's highest and it's value to the community the greatest which is certainly doctrine that has been hotly contested since active tad poles to be distinguished from ethargic frogs, and never more hoty, among human kind, than in the years which have followed the Great War. You that are old consider not the capaci- ties of us that are young"--that (to quote the shameless Falstaf again) has been the endless cry of the hungry generations, and some have thought that the warning "Too old at forty had raised it to the dignity of national creed in America.

We do not know whether any physiological results will come of these handsome ly endowed researches Gone way of prolonging quite a number of lives in Chicago would be to put down the gunmen and assassins), but on the spiritual side the middle-aged and elderly are already the better for this tribute to their intellectual powers. ''Is not every part about you blasted with antiquity" said the scandalized clude himself among the representatives of high spirited youth Had he lived to hear of this message from Chicago, the fat scoundrel would have had more reason than ever for his answer, ''The truth is only old in judgment and understanding"

WOMEN AS LAWMAKERS.

The names of l26 women are being carried on the rosters of State Legislatures in 1928, survey just completed by the National League oi Women Voters discloses.
 Only nine however. of the As State Legis latures are meeting this year. In these nine States - Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts Mississippi, New Jersey, New York Rhode Island, South Carolina and Virginia-there arc 19 women Legislators
 The few State elections in November 1927 resulted in changes in women's legislative ranks In only four States; a new woman Senator in Maine, two new members in place of the former three women members in Mississipp; a decrease of women Representatives in New Jersey from nine to seven, and two reelected and two new members in Virginia. West Virginia has the first negro woman member of any Leg islature in the country Mrs E. Howard Harper Republican, appointed by the Governor to succeed her late husband.
 Republicans more than double the number Of Democrats The political representation of women on the 1928 rosters is: Republicans, SC: Democrats. 34; no party designation, A. non partisan, l; independent l.
 The 1928 total is slight gain over the 1927 record, when 124 women answered the State legislative roll-cas.

 Senator Reed is on more solid ground when he warns his fellow Democrats that victory cannot be won by writing party differences into the platform. He is wise in urging the party factions to wipe out forget such differences as now exist and present a united front to the common political enemy in the coming cam pafgn. Disaster at the polls awaits the party that insists in staging civil warfare over issues upon which it cannot agree And these disputes are over nonessentials. Upon matters involving traditional principles accord should not be im- possible to obtain. Here again Senator Reed renders valiant service but pointing out just which principles are at stake and insisting that the party reaffirm it's position on them. Let the party unite these issues and put them before the public in understandable form and lt stands. chance for national victory regard less of what eandidate may be selected by the delegates at Houston next June.

REEDS CAMPAIGN.

As was to be expected. Senator Reed in open ing his campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination has assumed very largely the role of prosecuting attorney In this role he has fHnctioned with high degree of efficiency in the United States Senate. As a prosecutor he ;s not exceled not ever by Senator Walsh whose
 services to the ocuntry in the oil scandal inyes- legations rank high But more is needed of n Presidential candidate than an indictment of tbe opposing political party. Honesty in government is a very fine slogan, but neither the Democrati, nor the Republican Party has monopoly on honesty. Even though it is admitted that the late President Harding suffered from the act.

More or Less True

More or Less True The impression lot of these short fur coats give us is that they'd be simply grand if girl could leave that part of her from the knees down home by the fire.
 If man enjoys listening to two women discussing bargains they have met, friends they have snubbed and scandal they have heard. he is tickled to have some friend and his wife drop in for an evening of bridge.
 The modern way of living on the fat of the land is to put a fake reduction dope on the mar ket--nobody is in a better posi- tion to do just that than the fel- lows who use that method.
 Marriage is like buzzsaw-a fine thing for what it's intended, but it can't be treated as a play thing
 h their efforts to think they are both beautiful and warm decked out that way girls need all the imagination the men now are not using.
 The sensibleness of abbreyi- ated clothes depends largely on whether tho owner has something better than clothes to exhibit.
 Il won't take even the rising generation long to get wise to the fact that any marriage that elim- mates the grand old and they lived happily ever after" stuff Is the rankest kind of bunk.

TariHVlle Visitor Finds Res. taurant Men Require Cash

John Goldback, aged 60, of Tariff vile. never was arrested until last evening, he told Judge N. D. Sake in police court today, and his good rec ord would have gone on untarnished for many years to come had he not been overcome by liquor before stumbling into restaurant at 80 Broad street, where he ate 40 cents worth of food without having cent in his pocket with which to make payment.
 Officer William O'Mara testified that the proprietor of the restaurant complained to him shortly after 5 o'clock and he arrested Goldback for drunkenness and refusing to pay for . his meal. The complainant described Goldback in his moods of sleepiness and hunger, and after hearing both sides, Judge Sake decided that the ] refusal to pay for the food was the result of Goldbacks condition. so he imposed fine of s without costs for drunkenness and suspended judg- ment on the other charge.
 Adolph Kalinowski, aged 34, of 13O Winter street, who has been in jail and at the state farm a number of times. was charged by Sergeant Feeney with drunkenness, breach of the peace and assaulting his wife. The sergeant was driving past kalinowski's home about 10 o'clock last night and saw a crowd watch ing Mrs. kalinowski taking a beat ing of the kind Adolph administers when on a spree.
 The sergeant said the police have been called frequently to Kalinow- skis home, and few weeks ago Adolph put two of his children out of the house and they were found asleep in a metal bathtub in the eel lar. Last night, Mrs. Kalinowski complained to the police that he had collected rents due her the first of the month and had not been home since.
 kalinowski, in his own behalf, &C., cused his wife of wanting to get rid of him so that she could "sell booze and have a dozen, two dozen. a hun- dred men come to see her every day" He said she elected him last night and he met friend who gave him drink which made him drunk.
 Judge Sake committed him to the state farm. telling him that every one concerned with the enforcement , of law and order in this city had tried to help him but he did not seem able to stay sober and behave. He felt that the treatment at the state farm would help rid his system of the alcohol he has been imbibing and would benefit him in every way.
