could really accomplish anything substantial for Alaska. But we rather imagine that his great ob ject in seeking to go to the National Capital would be to secure large salary. Whether he could earn it not would be minor consideration.
 Ever since he was elected Attorney General, Jchn has sought to desert his post, have the Gov- ernor appoint his successor, and he to receive the salary of Judge or Delegate. He seems to have no conception of the duty he owes the electors of Alaska of serving out his term for which he was elected He talks loudly of favoring elective ofic CTS but wants the personal privilege of jumping his own job at any time he can get larger salary, and let the Governor appoint his successor for two years, as in the present emergency.

JOHN STANDS ON HIS DIGNITY

As candidate for Delegate to Congress, John Rustgard favors construction of the International Highway ''as soon as definite steps are taken by the Canadians to meet us at the boundary lne." The average Alaskan is for the Highway and he is willing to exert his influence to induce the Can- adan Government to join with us in working out the problem of construction But John would stand on his dignity and do nothing until this great beneficial measure was assured of success. What we need is worker at Washington, not a poser.

THE ALASKA FISHERMAN

JOHNS LACK OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
 When one seeks to determine just what val uable service Attorney General Rustgard has rendered the Territory during the past nine years, and at cost of $45OOO for his own salary and about the amount for office fixtures, he is soon stumped in his investigations. True he has tried and won few important law suits that tended to substantiate the validity of Legis lative enactments, but any ordinary lawyer could have done that, and possibly at much less cost.
 Then it must not be overlooked that the At tOrney General has written many opinions as to the duty of officials under certain given circum- stances. But most of them have been disregard ed And certainly he has been of little assist ance to the Legislature Usually his bills have been drawn in form incorrect or had So many jokers in them that they seldom received serious consideration
 For several sessions John Rustgard submit ted volumnous probate code, but it was so cum bersome and covered wide field that usuallythe Judiciary Committee could make no recommend ation concerning it before the session adjourned He would not seek to remedy any particular wrong but most of his measures sought to correct entire subject, and in just the way that John Rustgard decided should be done which was usually different from anybody elses idea.
 On the last night of the 1927 session of the Legislature, the Governor did not seem to appre- ciate the fact that he should attend the session or be available to sign the last hour measures. He just didn't know and the Attorney General whose business it was, did not inform him. As conse- quence 18 measures were not signed until after adjournment, thus invalidating those laws.
 But John Rustgard was interested in seeing that the general appropriation bill was signed, because of his own salary being involved and he was quite active in locating the Governor to see that this measure was legally signed. But other important measures were no concern of his. This is an example of Johns efficiency What person. ally affects him is of vital concern but what is for the good of the Territory is more likely to re- ceive merely shrug of the shoulders. King John

THE UNDEL1VERED SPEECH


 After discussing the various blanks in his platform and calling attention to what he hoped to accomplish Mir. Rustgard continued as fol- loWs:"
 So reads the first paragraph of the report of supposed speech which John Rustgard has had printed and is now circulating.
 Where did you ever deliver this speech, Mir. Rustgard?"
 Nowhere?
 Then why deceive the people by calling it Problems to be Considered A Speech by John Rusagard?" Some Mistakes in the Undelivered Speech Mr. Rustgard says that Mr. William Paul has been explaining to the Natives "that am the candidate of the cannery interests"
 What Mr. Paul said was that Mr. Rustgard was the candidate of attorney Bert Faulkner and John Pegues, agents of the canneries in political matters
 But since that time, Mr. Rustgard himself de- clared that he will cooperate with Henry OMal- ley if elected

general director of the Association for Improving the
Of the Poor, "the change that takes place when
q family moves from a tenement home where there are
no facilities for keeping clean, to a home where there
is running water, and particularly where there is hot wa
ter available, is frequently very striking. One is often
surprised that there Is as much cleanliness as there Is"
While DR.. George c. Rutland, health commissioner Of
Syracuse, N. Y, distinguishes between surgical cleanliness
or absence of germs, and social cleanliness or absence OF
visible dirt, he says the latter lis increasingly regarded
as at least the outward evidence by which the wcll-bred
are distinguished from those who are Indifferent to or
ignorant of social custom
with the degree Of community sanitation we now have
in many places. the lack of personal cleanliness is the
principal factor in the filth borne diseases we still have"
writes DR.. Fred J. Wanpler, professor of preventive med
icine at the Medical School Of Virginia. The same con-
viction is carried in other letters, such as that of an In
diana county nurse who reports that in her experience
rural schools which are careful and thorough about
handwashing do not have as high an absence rate from
communicable diseases as other schools.
On the all-inportant subject Of food, replies are even
more definite that in its public aspects food is a neces-
sary field for supervision and for enforcement Of sani-
tary regulations. Cooks, walters, and employees in food
factories, in fact all who prepare or handle food, whether
in public establishments or at home, are included in the
recommendations for %scrupulous cleanliness.

The Unmarked Death Traps

Increased railroad safety is being sought this week at
the tenth annual safety section Of the American Railway
a;Cociation, meeting at Denver. This is in line with past
policy Of the roads which has resulted in a steady i'm
%provement of safety both for passengers and crews. The
gain has been particularly noticeable in the last ten
years. The big rail disasters, once so numerous, especial
ly at holiday times when travel was heavy. sometimes to
the extent Of demoralizing operation systems, are rarer
today.
This steady improvement in safety on the railroads has
been brought about not. only as a" result OF. safety CAM
paigns but also as a result of the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars for improvements in equipment, heavier
rails, elimination of grade crossings, and installation of
safety devices of various kinds, all designed to provide in
creased protection for human life.
The big element of danger that remains is the un-
protected grade crossing. In fact, it is by solving this
problem that the Denver meeting would insure the in
creased safety which is the goal Of that section of the
railway association.
This problem has become all the more complies, due
to the increase that has taken place this year in the
number of automobiles in use, but this is a problem that
can only be solved with the cooperation of the public.
AS noted in The Tribune in a special article on the
subject from the national street and highway safety con-
ference, there are 100000 grade railroad crossings in the
United States. OF these 205J9 1888 are protected by. fixed
signs; SLOT have safety gates; 1897 have watchmen; 5000
have both visible and audible signals; $685. have visible
signals only: 4,572 have audible signals only; while 4,s4l
have no signals or markings whatever.
The Denver meeting wants to go after those undes.
ignated death traps II it wants to promote safety on the
railways. Recruiting main highways. as is being done
through the sparsely settled West in reconstructing anc
improving the great national trails. as the government i
doing in its federal aid system, is helping some. At 9th
er points the roads and counties Of cities are joining IL
constructing subways. That helps, too. only the subway
often are so expensive that their multiplication is re
tarded by the present Improbable operations of tn
roads.
These circumstances should not deter the roads an,
municipalities from doing something. Those unmarke
crossings. at least, might be marked while waiting 70
some other plan Of safety to suggest itself.

Editorial Comment
DR.. Einstein's Latest
est. Paul Dispatch)

Dr.. Einstein is at it again. According to the German
scientists latest theory which he expounded before a
mystified audience in Berlin, space Is the sole reality.
Nothing else really exists. Not only that, but space gave
birth to matter, and Is now, In cannibalistic fashion,
eating 1t up. having its revenge. as the professor melo-
dramatically puts 1t. Time, space, inertia, gravtation,
light and electricity, all the hallowed concepts of physics.
in fact. are from Einsteins point Of view only aspects of
the single underlying reality which IS space.
The new theory is not likely to speak to the magma
ton Of the average man. His belief in the ~outspread
spectacle Of the world in all its variety Of sound, move
ment and color is as unshakable as Che everlasting rock
Tell him that these things are an illusion and he may
regard you as profound or queer or both, but he will
not believe you. Such tinidity is anathema to the
philosopher. but even he In his less guarded moments
believes in the existence Of rock and tree, time and tide
or at least acts as II he did.
Samuel johnson kicked a stone by way Of answer to
the philosopher who denied that stones are real. AS an
argument Johnsons answer was lacking in polish, but
as a ~refutation its forcibleness was overwhelming. Elm.

However. there Is a ray Of hope in the fact that thu

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
LEES RESOLUTION

On July 2, l77e, the Continental
congress adopted the resolution OF
Richard Henry Lee Of Virginia de-
claring the United States free and
independent.
Lee introduced his measure on June
2. 1776, and supported 1t by q speech
of the most brilliant eloquence. He
moved, in part. that "these united
colonies are and Of right ought to be
free and independent states, that they
are absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political
connection between them aud the
State of Great Britain Is and ought
to be totally dissolved"
This resolution, which, OF course,
was the Declaration Of Independence,
was not only passed July 2. but also
signed on that day. The custom OF
celebrating the Fourth OF July In
commemoration of this occasion, is
therefore historically incorrect. John
Adams prophesied wrongly when he
wrote his wife, THE second day OF
July. 1776, will be the most memorable
epoch in the history Of America. I am
apt to believe it will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great
anniversary festival"
Another fact not generally known
in connection with the signing Of the
Declaration is that John Hancock n
Charles Thomson, president and sec
rotary respectively Of the Continental
congress, were the only men to sign
the real declaration. Other signers
| affixed their signatures to . copy Of
| the original document.

A British Admiral Is Too Generous

Chicago Tribune)
Admiral Mark Kerr, retired, Of the British navy, sug-
gested at the closing session of the Rotary convention
in Chicago that the president Of the United States issue
a peace proclamation to take its place as a notable docu-
ment along with the Declaration Of Independence and
the Monroe Doctrine, one which would declare an act of
war, without submission Of the causes to arbitration
as an act dangerous to American peace and safety and
as q manifestation Of an u~nfriendly disposition toward
the United States.
Rotary is q ~brotherly institution with ideals which do
run q bit strong on the international side and at the clos
ing meeting Of its convention q few aspirations might be
expected to take the air. The Rotarians would not have
all their pores closed to altruistic suggestions. Admiral
Kerr probably felt the ~contagion Of the occasion and
as a good Briton, saw an American opportunity fol
doing good.
The United States. however, will not be equipped a.
an international policeman. particularly on a water beat
after the London treaty has been put through the sen.

Britain will have the cruiser fleet for the control Of
trade routes and 1t will be the implement Of boycott. Thu
admirals suggestion Is that the United States keep az
offending nation from getting food and supplies, but
America hasn't the instinct for the job IL the first place
and it will not have the navy.

CHERRIES AND MILK

During the cherry season it Is often
a good plan to take q few days fruit
fast, using nothing else but fresh ripe
cherries. This is a cherry cure some
what similar to the grape cure" OF
Europe. In cases of anemia, in which
the iron in the body is low, it is es-
pecially desirable to use the fresh
cherries which make the best fruit
to use as they contain more iron than
many of the other desirable fruits.
The directions for taking the cher
ry fast are very simple. just buy two
or three pounds Of cherries q day and
eat them whenever desired. Keep a
bag of them on hand, eating Z few at
a time whenever you think about It.
II any hunger is felt, or II you feel
lonesome for other food, just eat more
cherries and you will find that at
least for several days you viii be sat-
isfied. Just try this for three or four
days and see how good you feel from
giving the stomach a rest from the
heavy winter food you have been
using.
Cherries contain more blood build
ing properties than any other fruit
which can be found on the market.
Like all other acid fruits. they should
be used by themselves or with sweet
milk.
Cherries and milk together make q
perfect food combination. But cher
ries, milk and bread probably form
the worst combination that could be
put together.
There is a false belief that the
combination Of cherries and milk is
particularly harmful, but q little ex-
EXPERIMENTATION will reveal the fact
that this is not true and that the
combination seems to be perfect. The
acid of the cherries seems to assist
in the digestion of the milk 20 that
the cherries and milk together are d.
=, gested more rapidly than II the sweet
milk were used alone.
OF course, If bread Or any other
starch is added, fermentation is set
up quickly as the acid of the cherries,
which is malic acid, IS very strong
and no kind of starch should at any
time be mixed with this fruit, wheth-
err the cherries be in the raw. canned
or cooked state.
When the child eats cherries, bread
and milk, you may expect intense
stomach cramps, as such a combina.
ton Of foodstuffS makes stomach.
aches. The. trouble, however, is causet
, entirely by the fact that bread hai
been added to what would otherwise
have been a perfect combination.
