Heroes ~ The Modern Fashion.



The reading of history suggests to us that in
all the ages the worlds heroes have been men
OF undoubted courage and with firm devotion
to the duty of making life finer for those about
them For the most part they have struggled
against the forces of nature, or the armed forces
of- enemies or the massed forces of ignorance.
Thus the explorers Columbus, Magellan de
Gama-and the military leaders--Alexander, Ma
poleon Washington-are among historical
heroes Theirs valor under terrific odds,
for which We honor them.
But today while Indbergh and Byrd and
their like have made similar struggles and sim
liar conquests, the scene of herosm is largely
removed to the laboratory or the banking house
to what some would call less romantic sur
roundings. But they not unromantic-the
Lives OF Rockefeller and Carnegie, of Einstein
and Rchr of Edison and Ford. On the contrary,
their lives of service to the creation of a thriv-
intrinsic worth and for their meaning to the
world OF man.
Instead of fighting wind and waves. cold and
starvation they preserving against the temp
tation to lay down their modern weapons-micro-
scope slide rule. production chart, or financial
lstatement-and live life of idle amusement
Some day another sort of will look upon

The most natural possible objective for Al
fred +. Smith abroad is the homeland OF his
laneestors While every land is dear to those
whose blood is native to it, there is a poetic
;tnd romantic phase TO the attachment OF an
f4ishman to Ireland that at least is more vocal.
Its very sorrows attract him, and the beauty and
romance Of "the little hills that lean fills his
spirit with passion ana with pride. Perhaps one
thing which makes him prouder of his nativity
than any other is the unquesiioned reputation
lof his for physical courage.
The Free State Postofice reports that over
81, 100000 in gifts of money sent to Ire
land from the United States in December. This
loffering of devotion to the old and sod
did not by any means from those Ameri-
cans who born in the Emerald Isle. From
second generation Irishmen like Mr.. Smith, and
even from members of the third and fourth, the
gifts were dispatch and with every of
them there went may be sure, some gallant
and pcturesque phrase to evoke the ready smile

As conditions under the Free State improve
there viii be fewer and fewer to feel the urge to
"be off to Philadephy in the mornin'." But
lif other being of Irish birth crossed
the seas TO America again, there would be links
between this land and that one ties which, as
Edmund Burke said Though light air, are

RETAIN THE ALASKA CABLE.

II would be very serious blow to this
country if The reported recommendation OF Cen
Gibbs that the Alaska cable be abandoned ana
radio substituted for it were carried out 1t
would be almost fatal 10 Alaska newspapers that
arc trying to give their readers a comprehensive
daily Geographic news service Experience has
shown that the radio is not nearly efficient
In the TRANSMISSION OF news as the cable In the
times when the cable has been ont of commits
sion the radio has been unable 10 handle the
volume of business that comes to Alaska, and
in a short time it has got far behind with de-
1iveries. When the cable has been out week
or SO, for instance, some OF the news service
has been delayed so that it has been overtaker
in Southeast Alaska by the mails.
II would take long time to develop a radio
organization that would give the people the sort
of service that is being rendered by the efficient
organization that has been built up about tht
Alaska cable, and it would, be crime TO make
a substitution at this time. The Alaska cabl'

COOLIDGE AND HOOVER ARE RIGHT.

That President Coolidge and President-Elect
Hoover are on the right side Of the controversy
over the elimination of the time provision in the
15-cruiser bin seems ITO plain that it is
difficult to understand WHY There is controversy.
The circumstance that friction has developed be-
tween the United States and Great Britain over
the discovery that Great Britain and France
had secret understanding before the last naval
conference began, added to by the Armistice Day
speech of President Coolidge, would make il easy
for British limoges to believe that Congress was
ordering the construction of the cruisers immed
lately as a step toward preparation for war with
their country. On the other hand, clearly
intimated in the speech of Senator Walsh Of
Montana, the authorization Of the construction
of the cruisers, with the time for their beginning
LEFT in the hands OF the President, would open
the door wide FOR further disarmament negotia-
tions.

RACCOONS EASILY RAISED IN
CAPTIVITY.

The demand for tho live for both
fur-farnng and restocking purposes has encour-
aged great many persons to raise these animals
in captivity. Raecoons according to the Bio
logical Survey of the United States Department
of Agriculture behave well in captivity, and con
sequently easily handled If the climate is
suitable a well-drained suburban farm prop
erty with generous supply of fresh drinking
water is a good site on which to raise raccoons.
Plenty Of shade and some sunlight are essential
to the health of the animals.
AS raccoons great climbers trees are
sometimes permitted 70 stand in their pens t.
furnish them a means OF exercise but such
trees must be far enough away from the side
walls to prevent the raccoons from CLIMBING

are no trees it is found advisable 10 cover the

More or Less True

One sin leads to another, and
while this year the girls only are

warm all over.

l235,612 in 1920 TO 557 1853 in 1927 The survey
also brings out the fact that while such arrests
showed steady and marked decline over period
lof years before Prohibition, dropping more than
so per cent. from 1914, since the passing of the
amendment the numbers has increased every
year

aim Is the restoration of temperance" declares
that 1.-THE Volstead Act has failed utterly TO do
what it was intended to do namely promote
temperance and sobrety;" that it never hope
TO accomplish its purpose, and advocates the es-
ta0lishment of restrictive system of LIQUOR

degree Of temperance.
