AFRICA's NO HAVEN
 FOR SAXOPHONIST
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Memphis, Tenn--It's getting so there's no place in the world suffering saxophone player can go to get away from the rage of his neighbors. Africa, long considered by some tooters. has been given up as a bad bet as the result of statements made by Rev. O. O. Beanland. pastor of the West African Mission in the colony of Cameroun. who recently visited here.
 eff the American saxophone player took his instrument to darkest Africa he wouldn't stand a chance of becoming king of tribe." Rev Beanland states. Tn fact, he'd probably be just an- other saxophone player, for every African chief these days has his own brass band.
 "All the chieftains are rich and most of them has ordered brass bands from Paris. They are en- tertained nightly with the African style of jazz music"

A NEW REGIME FOR INDIAN SCHOOL
 SYSTEM.

This week marked another milestone in the activities of the Government in the interests Of the aboriginal of Alaska. One Federal bureau the Office of Education-made it's exit from the stage Another one altogether to the Territory takes position in the cast Whatever may have been the shortcomings of the former, however much it may have lacked in carrying out efficiently those functions entrusted to it's for performance, we think everyone will agree that at least it left the Eskimo and Indian peoples whole much better eff than they found them. These have ad- vanced not a little distance along the path that leads to civilization Some of it, of course is the natural result of their contacts with the whites but by far the most of it is the fruit of the labor of the Office of Education
 Recently Dr. II. D. Anderson scientist who is making a survey of the Indian School System for the Carnegie Foundation told the Alaska Legislature of a great many defects in the system. He did not mince words in the frankly critical talk he made to our lawmakers In field in which the old bureau has worked did he find anything approaching effc- ency. While due weight should be given his views, and no seriously questions the fundamental soundness of his measurements, we should not feel despairng about the matter It should be bered his tests applied to primitive people who do not respond to tests in the same manner more civilized races do. His standards were set for the latter. His comparisons undoubtedly correct applied to- them but allowances must be made for the former which very likely science is not inclined to do He has probably been too rigid in his classifcations too harsh in his judgments. On the other hand we know that the Office of Education, as is inevitable through many years of close association, has not been strict enough in its classifications and far too liberal in it's own judgments. It has erred on that side as Dr. Anderson seems to be doing the reverse
 The Bureau of Indian Affairs, which has sue ceeded the Office of Education, will have several advantages in beginning it's administration of this system. It has inheritance of established poli- cies which it feels it must maintain, at least in this field. It is in position to take advantage of its experience in Indian government in the States. It profit by the mistakes well the good points in the work of the Office of Education here. In addition it will have available the survey of Dr. Anderson which undoubtedly will provide the agency with data of invaluable service in the establishment of educational and social service po- cies that designed to promote the welfare of those who will look to it for direction and lead ership in both fields. All Alaska will wish the Bureau of Indian Affairs the very greatest measure of success in it's work here and stands ready to lend a helping hand on any and all occasions.

Maybe it because he only asked for the small sum of $2500 Possibly if he had recommended ar appropriation of ten times that sum, it would have been treated seriously
 Yet there is perhaps no more important sug- gastion in the entire list submitted by the Governor to the Tenth Legislature This is forcefully brought out by the fears entertained for the safety of Aviator Fred Moller of Fairbanks. More than a week ago he set out a flight from the interior metropolis to Eagle, few hours journey, and since then no word has been heard from him. Searchers are preparing to take the air to look for him. Thou sands of dollars will probably be expended in the search in which the lives of men and the ma chimes in which they ride will be risked They will comb a country virtually wilderness gripped by sub-Arctic winter conditions. The odds are against success in their efforts.
 It is to end such desperate rescue attempts that Gov Parks seeks to bring carrier pigeons here and care for them He would make it possible for every aviator to have one of these birds along with him on his voyages through the wastes of the Territory In of forced landing or other accident release of the pigeon with brief note would in most cases give all the information needed to effect rescue at minimum of danger and expense to the searchers and add immeasurably to the chances of stranded avators being saved from serious harm if, in fact, not from death
 Aaskans will watch the search for Pilot Moller with anxiety and hope the rescuers will find him alive and unharmed. And hope that the day will soon come when it will not be necessary for days and days to eapse before such fiers are listed missing, and parties forced out on blind hunts small measure of precaution such the Governor has recommended will effectually end such conditions

Mir. Justice Holmes at Ninety.
(New York Herald Tribune

If the machine had really conquered man. there would be place in it for such valiant dssenters as MT Justice Holmes. There would be need only for accurately fooled cogs and the apparatus of fabrication The closely every part engaged it's fellows, the better piston ring that did not fit exactly it's cylinder bearing that knocked would be sent to the scrap heap forthwith.
 That Justice Holmes has been disagreeng with his colleagues these many and earning thereby only increasing affection and esteem, both from them and from the general public, is the best proof to be found that the human mind is still supreme. Mathematics offers approach to justice. Espec- ially under the Anglo Saxon system, law develops with the decades and bends with the years. In the very human task of applying the great funda- mentals of Federal law to continent, the Supreme Court could not competently proceed without benefit of many types of intelligence, warmed and illum- mated by every sound human attribute
 It is a singularly rich assembly of human nature that Justice Holmes has brought to his task. Hail. ing from region that has long cherished it's soli- taries, it's dissenterss it's revoutonaries he felt neither embarrassment shame in disagreement. It never occurred to him that because he was a nonconformist he must be grabbed Rather by peaceaby all his life saying exactly what he thought has he maintained the mellow sweetness and humor of his being.
 The country will have fallen hapless times if it ever loses it's relish for the and singular among it's leaders. There never be another MT Justice Holmes the precious years of his life remind But there cannot be too many other exceptional minds to guide stimulate and annoy. Only by such democracy be saved from the dullness of conformity and the efficiency that is death.

What a sight Look girls!" ex- claimed a 1.-the young thing, witt hat pulled down over bobbed rec hair, coat collar turned up and g violin case squeezed tight under her right arm as she stood in the falling snow in front of the Coli scum theatre last night and gazed transfixed at lights glimmering or the Alaska Juneau hillside.
 Eight ether feminine figures, bur- dened with drums, horns. clarinets saxophones, accordions and hand bags containing stage costumes and dressing room toilet accessories were clustered in group close by
 What can they be?" was the query put by one for all
 The o'clock shift was coming off at II. Flames flickered from head lamps of miners, who were hastening homeward. Not far from the mouth of the tunnel from which underground workers emerge the roadway forks, and one column of fitful glares appeared to tumble down a straight, steep path, while the other was strung out on a long, slanting trail of gradual des- cent.
 Last Light Disappears
 The nine members of the girls band, the Hollywood Los Senor- itas" watched until the last nov ing light had disappeared and un- til the hillside was dark again. The young women had made stage appearance at the Coliseum the atre. They constitute a capable, instrumental, musical organization and among them are included clever toe, tap and athletic dancers and unusually good singers. At res taurant luncheon after the show they chatted about miners-they want to see some-the snow and the peaceful aspect of Juneau, capi- tai city and rich gold camp of Alaska, the nations last frontier

 Why, at a table in many cafes in Los Angeles continued the demure and comedy young woman, as she felt of her mascaroed eye lashes, T wouldn't dare to move a foot for fear of kicking over a bot tie of Scotch; here it is a delight to entertain no such apprehen- sions."

 After his return from Alaska i'll 1928 MT. w. c. Lawton of Spring field, Mass, wrote me at length regarding what he thought of his trip, excerpts follow:
 Let me tell you first how much pleased I am for your line of the 18th of October.
 We'll what do I think of Alaska? You know the man famous for his outbursts of profanity and the audiences he always drew, was taking a load of potatoes up the hill-the end board in the cart dropped out at the hills foot and the boys of the neighborhood gathered around to get some new idea in English, but the old man looked out and said, "Taint no use boys-Can't do it justice.
 To me Alaska spells fish, fur, copper and gold (for the big min er) and possibilities of mines, lum- Der in southeastern Alaska and cold with thou shalt not steal'' label on it, oil, maybe, know you are getting same. Scenery, we'll if one can describe the grandeur of your country he can have a chair in our English plant. I am still feeling the effect of the scenic jag I took. The effect is not fair its too much like what I should think the delirium T. would be- you just can't do it justice" When returning from Carcross to Skag- way, or Cordova to Chitina, or Sew ard to Fairbanks or Fairbanks down to Chitina, or the sea trip or down the inside passage, any one of them should be taken alone and months between in which to let it soak into ones system. Do you get me? We'll, that's half the apple only. I'm going again and when I do there won't be any hur- ry about it.
 l sure would like to spend few days at Cordova in pleasant wea- ther and plan it for fly fishing time.

LIvENGOOD OUTLOOK

The outlook for a successful mining season at Livengood is good according to the Fairbanks News-Miner. The miners there have had a good season for water thus far this summer, and altho there are no large operations going on, there are three drift mines and eight hydraulic plants working in the camp.
