The Eighth Won@er.
Seward Gateway,


 The modern world has to accept a5 the seven wonders of the new world: Niagara Falls Yellowstone Park Garden of the Gods Mammoth Cave Yosemite Valley Giant Redwood Trees Of California and the Natural Bridge of Virginia, all of which is all right for those who have never seen the Eighth Wonder-the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes That the world at large has not been able to add this marvel to the many recounted above is due principally to the fact that steps have been taken to comrnercialize the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes Niagara. Yellowstone Park, etc. have been commercalized
 And yet this wonder is within few miles of established liner transportation and all the comforts demanded by the average tourist, such as Seward offers All that is needed is the develop ment of transportation to and from some point of to the Valley the erection of tourist hotels and building trails into the Valley Unlike many of the wonderful attractions enumerated above the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes combines null itude of scenic wonders in the rugged scenery along the Alaskan coast and the main Alaska range, with it's numerous volcanoes, and fjords equal to those of orway Here is the paradise of the cam eraman fisherman and adventurous mountain climb CT the nature lover and those seeking rejuvenaton after too strenuous battle with the great pulsat- ing world outside
 fitting climax to the thousand .and scenic thrills found in the inside passage route to Alaska would be a glimpse of of natures greatest marvels. Someone, carried away by poetic fervor said: See Venice and die" We suggest: See the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes and live"

SENATORS BECOME AMBASSADORS.

If may he significant that two United States Senators resigned just before the primaries to select their successors in States which Democrats expect to cut the Republican majority in the upper chamber of Congress. In other words, 1t IS pos sibe that Senators Edge of New Jersey and Sackett of Kentucky were fearful of defeat, and quit the Senate when quitting was good. However it may be that Democratic expectations in those States are like they often are-the children of eternal Democratic hope.
 Whatever may be the reason for the resignations in order to become diplomats, it is generally con- ceded that both are well qualified for the posi- tions they have accepted. While Senator Edge is a sef-educated and sef-made man, he made good job of it. He began life as a printer. Later he worked as a newpaperman and then established an advertising agency This business prospered so well that he became owner of two Atlantic City newspapers and wealthy He served in the State Legislature where he was leader, became Governor and was twic elected to the Senate.
 Senator Sackett Rhode Island Yankee who went to Ohio and then to Kentucky. He prac- ticed law in Ohio and did the same for a time in Louisville He inherited fortune from his woolen manufacturing father and became interested in public service corporations banks and trust com panies coal mines, etc His investments turned cut in the usual New England manner They were well managed and made the investor rich He got degrees from both Brown and Harvard before start= ing out for himself, and has devoted years to trav cling. He has spent much time in Germany, and likes the country He helped to finance many Re- publican campaigns in Kentucky before he ran for Senator in 1924 and struck Republican year.
 Both Senator Edge, now Ambassador to France, and Senator Sackett Ambassador to Germany are men of pleasing personality and resourceful in business and politics They both very popu- wh Roth, to he strongly opposed to Prohibition Senator Edge was one of the wet leaders in the Senate.
 Ambassador Edge is 55 and native of Phila- delphia. Ambassador Sackett is 6l

Obscenity in Massachusetts.
Philadelphia Inquirer )

Perhaps the Massachusetts Supreme Court to which the publisher of Dreiser's novel, An Am erican Tragedy" has appealed against the verdict of the Superior Court fining him $500, may feel obliged to sustain that verdict in accord with the letter of the law, which permits a book to be condemned for obscenty the evidence of single sentence divorced from the context. But it may slider that it has the alternative of applying "the rule of reason" It is clear that the literal inter pretation makes possible the suppression of books of the highest moral tendency if the authors in duge in any freedom of expression acknowl- edged classics available in every public library of the land.
 There is an especially absurdity in it's appica- tionSto the Dreiser book. His novel is based upon an actual case which was reported in the news papers at the time. Indeed whole pages of it are nothing but transcriptons of the testimony. If these obscene, were the sources from which he borrowed oopiously. Thus the prosecution of his publisher is in the nature of a reduction ad absurdum AS a test of the law it is peculiarly apt. We do not see why an indictment for obscenity should lie against Dresers book; one for dullness would be much more to the point

LOOPING By Mary Graham Bonner

John and Peggy stayed with the Little Black Clock and watched the Ichildren turning loops in their air planes.
 The Little Black Clock had turned lthe time way, way ahead.
 Almost everyone has an air plane now" said the Little Black Clock. Tn fact, the children save up for them as you used to save up for bicycles or toy automobiles or things like that"
 The children took little trips in their planes just as children used to take trips in their express carts. 1 and none of the parents seemed to object.
 After they had watched the won derful looping the children did | John and Peggy did hear one moth CT call up to her son, who was not more than a year older than John, and say:
 "Youve got to come in and do your lessons nowl You've been up with your plane long enough"
 It was exactly the way Johns mother called to him when he had been out playing. But it did sound so very funny to hear the mother say that her son had been up witt his plane long enough !
 And then a larger plane came along and the Little Black Clock and the children were invited to go looping, too.
 They were little nervous about it at first. but the Little Black Clock said they must remember that he had turned the time far ahead and that it was perfectly safe
 So they went in the plane and turned somersaults in the air.
 The pilot was saying something 70 the Little Black Clock, who was holding his head.
 They'd like it. I'm sure they'd like it. he told the pilot. Wouldn't you?" he asked John and Peggy.
 They hadn't the least idea what it would be, but they thought they were quite safe in saying "yes."
 All right They say Yes" the Little Black Clock told the pilot.

had resolved itself into dignified dis
agreement between the two ministers on
the suggestion of DR.. Ainslie that the

draw its ministers from the Army and

there is mo more justification for being

the church, DR.. Pierce last night delved
into the Constitution and the National

Pact churches of the country should
withdraw their ministers from the armed

today, cordially and fraternally' Of
fered disagreement with the views OF
DR.. Ainslie.
The Constitution, Dr. Pierce points
out, gives Congress authority to raise

Regular Army, to be maintained IN
peace and war, shall consist, among
other branches of chaplainS
In his letter yesterday, DR.. Ainslie
suggested that DR.. Pierce lead in dis

In reply, DR.. Pierce said in his Sec
ond letter:
when you invite me to lead in the
move of Withdrawing from the
chaplaincy or to advocate that churches
should withdraw their chaplains, you
are inviting me to be diSloyal to the
law of the United States, to undermine
the national defense act and to desert
more than 400 900 personnel in the
Army and Navy of the United States

Fifty Per Cent Slash Is
Advocated as Aid
To Farmers

WASHINGTON, Aug. l3-CPp-An
immediate fifty per cent slash in
railroad freight rates Oh hay, feed
water and livestock in the drought
areas. stood out today as the first
large scale action for relief Of the
parched agricultural lands.
Government relief plans mean
while marked time until tomorrow's
conference Of governors. President
Hoover wants their suggestions and
plans before proceeding with any
broad relief measures. An idea of
what line the governors recon-
mendationS may take came in dis
patches from capitals OF some of
the affected states.
Governor Hammill Of Iowa. leav-
ing DeS MoineS for Washington,
said he favored immediate aid to
the farmers IN need, together with
arrangements through the farm
board for seed for next years plant
ing, and financing by the board of
a transfer OF grains from surplus
sections to the drought areas.
In Kentucky, the agricultural
branch of the state bankers associa-
ton formulated with Governor
Sampson a plan based on under
writing the tax bills OF drought
suffering farmers through federal
assistance.
Expectations OF relief continued
concentrated on government agen-
cies. as weather forecasts. although
indicating showers for mart of tho
dry areas, promised no soaking rains.
The railroad rate cuts have been
worked out between the roads and
the department Of agriculture with
a safeguarding arrangement by
which farmers applications for a
special rate will be certified TO rail-
road officials by county agricultural
agents. This was done in hope OF
preventing speculative use of the
emergency schedules.
The low rate is to go into effect
Immediately on roads operating to
and from drought areas north OF
the Ohio and east OF the MiSsiSSip-
pi rivers. Within a day or two
they are expected to be extended to
the remainder Of the dry regions.
