Surdity of the Idea of Pro
noting q ReUoluf ION by
Starting Runs on Banks.
NEW YORK, July 29.-It must
L y have been a weak intellect that
conceived the idea of promoting
revolution through a rumor factory
to start runs on banks. Any nor
NAL high school kid would have seen
the catch in it.
Any right-minded person would
have been dismayed by the cruelty
Of it. Outside of putting Prussic
acid in the peach ice cream to be
served tots at Sunday school pic
mic, you can't think Of a more wan
ton crime.
The program was to spread feaI
by manufacturing lies. The theory
was that this fear would lead de-
positors to wreck banks. The con-
clusion was that, when sufficient
number of banks had been wrecked,
people would perceive the desira-
bility Of overthrowing the capitals
tic system.
What one finds it hardest to
fathom is the pure cussedness back
of it all, the willingness to ruin I'M
told numbers of innocent people for
the sake Of an experiment.

Too Dirty for Thought

THE chances are that those who
l. worked out the plan never
would have consid ed doing such
a thing to immediate friends and
associates. The chances are that
if the scheme had promised to hurt
only a few people, especially people
whom they knew, they would have
dismissed it as too dirty for a second
thought.
But the great unknown public APP
peals to them as legitimate prey,
though they always pretend to be
working in its behalf.
Your extreme radical seems I'M
able to visualize the great unknown
public as composed of human be-
ingS like himself, no matter how he
claims to love it.
Nothing counts with him but the
big idea. Much of our So-called
radicalism is mere egotism, badly
mixed and half baked.

NNE of the most extraordinary
" diseases that attack the nerv-
Gus system of mankind is a condi-
ton called multiple Sclerosis, in
wich there occur areas of degener-
alton in the central nervous sys-
tenn, as a result of which the pa
tients develop tremors, slow speech,
twitching of the eyes, and difficulty
in motion, due to excessive tone or
activity in the muscles because of
lack of nerve control.
The condition first was recog-
nized as a definite disease around
1910, but although almost 100 years
have passed, the cause has not been
discovered and only lately is there
beginning to be any hope whatever
of a useful treatment

AMERICANS STORM SERGY
July %

July 20
ON July 90, 1918, American troops
~ in the Marine sector continued
their victorious drive across the
Ourcq river, storming Sergy, Rom
cheres and Seringes-et-Nestle.
The little village of Sergy changed
hands several times, but finally was
held by the onrushing Americans.
French forces also reported new
victories for the day. Cugny and
Grand ROXY were taken by storm
and the German retreat continued.
Australian troops in Picardy re-
sumed the offensive on two-mile
front and advanced more than 500
yards.
An announcement from Russia
stated that the Don CossackS had
signed a treaty with the Cossacks
of the Astrakhan districts, promis-
ing mutual assistance in the an
nexation of territory which they re-
garded as essential to their we'll
being.

the tariff, but I realize that the for
eign nations are in the same shape
we are. They also are looking fol-
foreign markets, to get rid of Their
overproduction.
The hours could be divided anc
everybody get a decent living il
everything was run for the benefit
of the people, from the White House
down to the dog catcher. Just try
to get the ones at the head of this
nation to see this.
They tell you no, we want it all
and give the laboring class of peo-
pie nothing.
Too many people accept this bas-
ket business in good faith. Wake
up, workers, and refuse to be fooled
any longer. MRS. DALEY.
Editor Times-Recently I dropped
IN public park and saw about two
hundred people sitting around and
playing. About half of them were
between the ages of 10 and 90 !
cast my eyes over the park and
saw but three men doing the work
necessary to keep the park. and
they were old men, tired and worn
out, pushing lawn mowers. The
ones not working seemed to be bet
ter kept than the three doing the
work. THINKER

Editor Times-Why wouldn't it be
a good idea for the Governor, whose
veto prevented Indiana from having
an old age pension law, to visit the
Marion county poor house and see
the conditions described recently in
The Times by Charles Schlotz, SUI
perintendent Of the institution?
The Governor doubtless would see
some things which would not make
him at all proud Of that persona
appearance veto early in 1881.
Statement Of the superintendent
bears out in every respect the con.
tention of the Fraternal Order Of
Eagles, long aNchampion of decent
care Of the aged. He asserts that
the sick and well, the crippled ano
the whole. the insane and the sane
are herded. without regard to 1T
ness or even the standards of COM
mon decency.
This is not a criticism of the SUI
perintendent. Doubtless he is do
ing the best it is possible to do un-
der the circumstances.
But the duty OF the 1888 Indiana
general assembly is clear. In the
name of humanity, it should enact
an old age pension law.

Just Diseased Mentality

JUDI DISGQSGu W6Il ldllly
THE great plot didn't get any,
Il where, as those who Matched it
should have foreseen. Any yarn,
whether true or false, big enough
to wreck banks in wholesale way,
was bound to be traced to its
source.
Furthermore, it was bound to be
traced before it had time to cause
much trouble.
That is not guesswork. That is
exactly what happened, and what
would happen again under similar
circumstances.
BY no stretch of the Imagination
can this Michigan plot to wreck
banks be regarded as a serious
threat to our economic structure,
or as indicating the presence of a
formidable revolutionary element.
All it amounts to is another out
crop of diseased mentality.
New Forms of Insanity
WYE are not thinking enough
wv about diseased mentality
especially as evidenced by the wild
eyed, illogical ideas which have
come to play such a part in our
search for improvement.
Intelligent discomfort is a sign of
mental health. but unintelligent
discomfort is not, and we seem to
be getting an overdose of the latter.
1t finds expression not only in an
increase of the ordinary forms of
insanity, but in disorders of the
mind which appear to be new; in
types of crime we never had before
and in normal conceptions which,
though suggested and advocated
many times in the past, have been
put aside as too absurd or outrage
Gus for serious consideration.
The motives for murder, suicide,
blackmail, and embezzlement have
become amazingly childish. Plans
for economic recovery and moral
reform often are tinctured with the
same weakness.
In spite of all we have done for
education, all the emphasis we lay
on the necessity of study and train
ing for comparatively unimportant
tasks, the assumption seems to be
gaining ground that no study, or
experience, is required to solve our
biggest problems and that the con-
ceit of ignorance is sufficient to
cope with ANYTHING.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TUESDAY WILL HONOR SEWARD
Alaska Holiday F alls on Wednesday and No
 Classes Then

Seward Day, which falls next Wednesday, is a holiday in Alas sa and no school will be held on that day. Exercises in observance of the occasion will take place in both Elementary and High Schools tomorrow afternoon, Prof. R. S.. Raven, Superintendent of Public Schools, announced today.
 The exercises in the Elementary school will be held by the pupils in their several grade rooms.
 The program in the High School will be given in its Auditorium at PAS o'clock with all students present. Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff will deliver the address of the day.
 Formal Signing of Treaty
 Seward Day commentaries the formal signing of the treaty, pro viding for the purchase of Alaska by the United States from Russia.
 Alaska, known to the Indians as Al-ak-shak, meaning "A great Country" and to the civilized world as Russian America, had been dis covered by an expedition sent out under Vitus Boring, Danish navi- gator, by Russia in 1741. sAs early as 1853 official communica- tions passed between the United States and Russia concerning the purchase of Russian America. Rus sia was desi1fous of parting with the territory, and the fishing and trading interests doing business throughout the great northern country, favored the proposed change of sovereignty.
 Defininte Steps in 1867
 It was not until 1867, however, that definite steps were taken to- ward the transfer. in March of that year the Russian Minister at Washington, D. C., reopened ne- gotiations and on March 23, Will liam H. Seward, Secretary of State in President Andrew John- oOll Q ObbiiCt, Ah1QC dll OlltT Ol $7200,000 for Russian America. Late in the night of March 29, the minister communicated the Czar's acceptance of the offer. So anxious was Secretary Seward to consuminate the purchase, that he did not want to wait until regu~ lar business hours the next day to conclude the deal. At his in- sistance the formal signing of the treaty by him and the Russian minister took place at 4 o'clock in the morning of March 30.
 The treaty was later ratified by the United States Senate, and the official transfer of the terri tory took place at Sitka, with the lowering of the Russian flag and the raising of the United States flag, the following October 18.

Eastern morn. Gray dawn is shot through with the golden gleams of rising sun. Snow-clad mountain tops are touched with heavens fire. Its effulgence soon embraces all the city's habitations. Harbor waters, placid as lake, reflect the azure beauty of cloud ness sky and glisten beyond the shadows of the shore with the glory imparted by the orb of day. Bells summon the faithful to rejoice in the miracle of the Risen Lord. AL tars are weighed with flowers and aglow with candle lights. Priests, richly robed, intone the rituals. Congregations bow in reverence. Then above the peal of organ depths resound the exultant peans of vested choirs. BeIIfries rock in noisy jubilation. Church doors swing open. The Easter Parade. Pads and fancies, fashions and fur bellows. Vanity Fair in review flut- ters by. The sun has just crossed the meridian. Easter observance is over.
 Perfect weather marked Easter Sunday in Juneau, and residents observed the religious festival in traditional manner.
 A light, early morning fog was dissipated by a warm sun, which shone all day from clear sky. There was scarcely a breath of wind.
