overcrowding of endowed colleges by alleged students who only go to college for the sake of being known as college men," it is pertinent to ask whether the best results are ob- tained from these large bequests.
 That any young person not pos sessing the natural qualifications or character to make proper use of a college course should crowd out an earnest and qualified student is shameful. That any who possess the mental and moral capacity for using higher education for the ad- vancement of mankind should be denied it is tragedy.
 Some of the missions which are donated for the general use of col leges might be put to better use by devoting them to the establishment of scholarships, including living ex- penses, for talented boys and girls who are unable to secure higher ed ucation without such aid
 Many scholarships are provided for at present, it is true, but there are not nearly as many as there ought to be. To really educate one exceptionally bright and deserving boy or girl would be more benefi- cial to society than the turning out of a dozen mediocre graduates, whose college training is of doubt full value to themselves or anyone else.

IS HE REsPoNsIBLE9

Ever since John Garner declared himself thoroughly wet, West Texas has been deluged with floods. If he wishes to win favor in that delight full part of Texas he had better fol- low Vice President Curtis example and declare himself dry. It is no joke to have numerous inches of rain dumped all at once on that area, flooding valleys, destroying property and taking human life. MT. Garner ought to disavow responsibility and try to lay the blame on the Hoover administration.
 He would much prefer to claim responsibility for the return of prosperity to the United States. Doubtless when General Depression and Old Man Gloom saw in the headlines that a West Texan had become Nationally prominent in politics they began to realize that the jig was up and they had better CTdWl .lnIO nOlCos hC of farm products are going up, re- tail trade begins to boom, factories are calling back some of the unem- ployed and the economic sky is vis- ibly brightenins.
 Perhaps John Garner can prove an alibi and free himself from the charge of flooding West Texas, but he should carefully investigate his claims for the return of prosperity. It may be that Governor Murray will assert his claims on the ground that prosperity began to come back when his boom faded out.
 At any rate, don't let the East get away with the credit for re- dovery. Texas and the Southwest claim that honor. But West Texas is surely wet. Too bad.-Dallas (Texas) News.

distant cities, never to return. The life-bleod of prosperity is allowed to ebb away through the indiffer- ence CT thoughtlessness of the very persons who should set an example of local pride and loyalty.
 A trifling saving here and there, usually more imaginary than real, is sufficient to cause the average citizen to forget his duty to his community and to himself which if performed would mean far more in the direction of local prosperity than all his other boosting efforts put together.
 Why boost in one direction, while committing suicide in another FIX

 MT. w. K. Keller has saved the Territory great deal of money since he was elected commission CT of Education, and has increased the efficiency of the schools as well. He will save considerably more if he is allowed time to bring to fruition the many plans proposed. His first act after being delegated authority was to take advantage of the Terri torial act providing for such cases, and dispose of all the old school buildings standing idle in the Terri try He also consolidated many of the schools already running, and lalvaged such furniture and equip ment as was in good shape. In a number of cases the salvaged school furniture was transferred to othen schools where it was greatly needed,
 Where schools were consolidated 'ontracts were let for the transpOr- iation of pupils to other schools, .hus effecting a saving in salaries md in maintenance.
 While there was some opposition ,mong residents of school district when consolidation was announced " MT. Keller the parents of the 3hildren universally recognized that le was working for better school coalitions and stood behind him to he limit.
 We believe, the taxpayers of the Territory should appreciate this at empt to save. It is refreshing to ind a public official who trims his ,udget to a point where he secures esults at a minimum of cost.

Charlie Olson was presented with an iron cross at the meeting of the Fire Department Monday night, for his daring bravery in capturing Oscar Weston who was shooting up the town Saturday night The pres entation speech was made by J.

War was declared on Wrangell Saturday night by Oscar Weston, who, after mixing drinks too freely became enraged over imaginary of- lenses and going aboard a gasboat tied to the slip of the Columbia & Northern dock opened fire on the town with a 2SO Ross high power rifle, fortunately aiming too high to do any harm. The officers, know ing that Weston was insane for the time being, and wishing to take him alive, permitted Charlie Olson to undertake his arrest. Through a clever subterfuge Olson succeeded in getting aboard the boat and dis arming the drink-crazed man. Mon day morning Weston appeared so- Der and contrite, when arraigned before U. s. Commissioner Weber on a complaint charging him with firing into the populated section of Wrangell, and freely pleaded guilty to the charge. He was sen tenced to serve six months in jail.

Ellery Carlson was honor guest of the Moose Lodge at farewell party on the eve of his departure for Bremerton to report for duty on submarine chasers. Following card games supper was served in the banquet room. J. w. Pritchett acted as toastmaster. Speeches were made by Rev. Corser. w. A.. Holzheimer and Leo Mccormack, the latter a British subject who has three brothers fighting in France. The affair was hurriedly arranged after Ellery received his orders. but it served to impress upon this young patriot the fact that the hearts of the people of Wrangell are with him.

COMMUNITY SUICIDE

One of the strangest' phenomena witnessed in most towns and small cities is the apparent eagerness with which many otherwise good citizens contribute to the tendency to com init community suicide.
 The citizens will often show uncommon zeal in boosting any movement to obtain city improve ments, to promote the location of new industries, to secure better ed ucational facilities, and so on. Yet many of these same proud boosters will deliberately engage in a prac- tice which nullifies all their other wise laudable efforts-and wonder why their town doesn't go ahead.
 We refer to the suicidal habit of buying away from home. And this also includes the merchant who shouts Buy at Home! the loudest who sends his printing out of town, without even giving the home print CT chance to make a price.
 The enormous growth of the mail order habit in recent years is large ly responsible for the failure of many communities to make the progress which their natural ad- vantages should make possible. The money that ought to be kept at home for the expansion of local trade and industry is sent away to

Southern farmers are elated over the prospect of receiving eight or nine cents a pound for their cotton this fall. Even at that comparatively tow price they will made a moder- ate profit. By contrast it may be mentioned that while radium sells for nearly two million dollars an ounce, it yields little profit to the producers.
