Henry Ford, Free Trader.
(New York World )

lNeW 1Ork world
 It is not surprising that Henry Ford Amer icas greatest manufacturers, should have declared during his visit in London that he believes in nothing to fear at home from foreign competi- tion. On the other hand the foreign market for his cars has been much restricted by tariffs aimed especially at his products, and he has good reason to detest trade barriers Other manufacturers who desire protective duties will no doubt retort that MT. Ford's views reflect his own personal interests rather than his devotion to the abstract ideal of complete freedom of trade
 Perhaps they right But even so Henry Ford's statement is the less significant. It has sometimes been predicted that if the ten dency in this country toward standardization and mass production continues the large-scae manu- facturers will eventually be pleading with Con gress to lower our tariff wall. MT. Ford's state ment gives support to this prophecy
 But since these large-scae producers with possible free-trade incnations usually pay the highest wages, what becomes of the stock argu- ment that high tariff is necessary to protect the American workman against the pauper labor of Europe? Mr Ford, indeed has told the British that low wages a handicap to their industries, and he thereby challenges again the tariff protagonists in the United States
 It is not what American labor gets in it's pay envelope but what it produces in return for this pay that determines whether or not this country can compete with others equal terms. Through improved machinery the productivity of American labor in recent years has increased enomorusly so much so that many workers have been dis placed and some have been unable to find new jobs. The removal of absurdly high trade barriers and the development of wider markets for our products would help solve this new problem of unemployment

Ssu6ge Reed Passes On.
(Ketcnikan Chronicle. ]

Completing long, active and useful life, District Court for the First Judicial Division of Alaska, last night passed His departure removes from the Territory and the nation a citizen whose every thought, and whose life, was devoted to service.
 Quite great his devotion to duty was his love of family and to those to him will be extended the entme sympathy of all who knew him and them.
 Judge Reed played important part in the development of the Territory of Washington, even before it became great State. He likewise did great service during the period of the transition from Territory to a State Of a pioneer family and of pioneer heart, shortly afterward he came to Alaska to give his strength and his life to the upbuilding of country
 As a member of the Legislature of Washing ton, as United States Commissioner at Nome and as United States District Judge of the First Di- vision he gave great energy, good judgment, a splendid legal mind, fearlessness and fairness with the touch of the milk of human kindness that go to make successful and able jurists.
 Considering the number of cases tried by and before him. Judge Reed had smaller percent age of reversas than any man who ever sat on Federal bench in the Territory. His record was clean, his life upright, his departure is lamentabe.
 No Alaskan having the interests of the Ter ritory at heart could hope for more than that his successor may be equally as capable and as worthy.

YUKON ICE YIELDING FOR ANOTHER
 SEASON.

The sun on it's northward journey is forcing winter ice to release it's grasp the Interior waterways. The ice broke in the Panama River at Nenana Sunday. It has broken in several places along the upper Yukon River and it will go at Dawson. Within a very short time the Yukon and it's tributaries will again be high ways of commerce.
 While this does not mean as much as il did in the days before the railroads and airpanes, before the telegraph and radio, it still is an important matter with a considerable number of people. It means 10 Dawson than to any other town of that importance in the North. The people of the Canadian Yukon depend more upon water transportation than is the in Alaska, but there wide areas in this Territory where the open water of the summer season means the period of general activity.
 However, there is no part of Alaska where there is not experienced thrill when word is flashed from the Interior that the Yukon, after being ice-bound for five or six months, has be- come clear again. permitting steamers and craft of all sorts to ply the waters between the upper reaches of the Yukon and her tributaries to Boring Sea more than two thousand miles away.

 The reason some fellows don't wear a smaller-sized hat is be. cause they don't know the world is laughing at them instead of with them.

 Some people make you wonder what the heck they would get out of life if everything was so per feet they couldn't do any knock ing.

 Most mothers would de heap more sleeping at nights if it really was GOOD times their daughters were so keen about having.
 The only thing that can make a daughter more disgusted with her parents than having them think she needs to wear more clothes is having them think she needs correcting.

School Failures Too Expensive.
Seattle Business Chronicle ,

Re-educatng failure costs American taxpayers approximately S2OO,000 of every $1 900 900 spent on the public schools according to Warren A Roe of the National Educational Association He would make education "a full-time job," by the simple expedient of changing 5 or 1O-month terms to 5 months and operating school districts lz months-declaring that such plan would
 increase educational opportunity, increase service produce more successes, and reduce overhead The converting of education in the public schools into continuous process would be quite revo- lutlonary, and would cause shaking-up in those quarters where the activities of teachers are care tuily planned with respect to the long summer vacation But so many changes have been made and so many are in process that this new sug- gestion might eventually be adopted Whether It would do what is claimed for it can only he determined by experiment

the narrowest escapes Whitefoot had

Mrs. Whitefoot had seen 1t. She had

squeal a warning. When she saw
Whitefoot disappear in that knothole

more they love the hours between day

And they love moonlight nights. When
there was moonlight they would be out

It happened one moonlight night that
Whitefoot had strayed little farther

had not had a single scare, and so
Whitefoot had grown a little careless.
You see, Whitefoot is very like other

to be reminded that there was danger

So Whitefoot was running about care

ARE YOU EDUCATED?

1t seems to be about time that we had statement
Of definition Of education. We demanding
things Of the person call educated which may
have right to demand of him.
The tendency to look the educated as . SUPER
intellectual seems to be hangover from the days
when Oliver Goldsmith modestly confessed to yearn-
ing amidst the SWANS to show my bookearned skill"
when he pictured the rstcs ranged around the village
schoolmaster discoursng in words Of learned length
and laundering sound: And still they gazed and still
the wonder grew that small head could carry all
he knew"
The sum total Of things to be known has increased
many hundredfold since those days, that Gold
smiths village master might be considered nothing
remarkable. From this great store Of knowledge the
schools pick out certain things which worth know
ing and attempt to impart this knowledge boys and
girls We can remember only small part of what is
thus learned, and the chances that when meet
someone who has remembered the same things which
NE have remembered we call him educated.
This, Of course, is wrong. Some Of US may know
khings which did not learn in school. It is con-
eeivabls that man may be most excellent teacher

E also is conceivable that may be able to answer
