ments. But I was mistaken.
I know better now.
Pride isn't conceit. Pride
has nothing to do with the
things which men have
achieved. It is something that
is born in us-a fundamental
part of our nature, like the
body's hunger for food. Per-
haps it is the souls hunger
for recognition. Perhaps it is
the spirit itself, standing up
for itself, in spite of every
thing.
Whatever it is, we all have
it. All men are proud. 1t
doesn't matter who they are,
or what they have done. They
may have done nothing worth
while. They may have done
everything that is contempti-
BILE, weak and bad. Yet they
are proud.
Even when men have lost
their conceN and self respect;
even when they have forfeited
the respect of other men, they
are still proud. They still feel
that others should recognize
and respect that pride.
FOR THEY KNOW THAT
THEY ARE BETTER THAN
THEY SEEM. THEY KNOW
THAT THERE IS SOME
THING IN THEM WHICH IS
APART; AND ABOVE THEIR
WEAKNESS AND THEIR VI
SNESS : SOMETHING
THAT NO SIN CAN SOIL
AND NO SILLINESS CAN DE-
GRADE.
They don't know what that
something is. They can't de-
fine it to you. But they know
that it exists-and they are
proud of it.

WE have always thought
w that from the moment
the Entente was formed, en-
circling Germany, and thus
leading to the alliance of
the Central Powers, war was
inevitable. 1t was nothing
less than dividing Europe
into two hostile groups. The
assassination Of a worthless
grand duke did not make
the war; no one cared about
him. The sharp ultimatum
of Austria to Serbia did not
make it; it merely furnished
the pretext.
The trouble now brewing
between Italy and France,
with England playing a
part, in the matter of the
arms shipment from Italy to
Austria, smacks of the
"good old days" Whatever
the motive, it is being inter-
preted in Italy as a hostile
act against her on the part
Of France and her allies.
For France is the soul and
center Of a group of ma
tions. The result is that we
are now hearing Of a COM
bination of Italy, Germany
and Hungary to which
Austria may be expected to
adhere.
1t is not generally known
just what the significance
of these alleged groupings
is, but the surface indica-
tions are bad enough. If ma
ton after nation is to be
drawn into one or the other
of two hostile camps, sooner
or later we shall have an
other glorious war, and
then Moscow can sit back
and hold her hands and
reap her harvest. Haven't
these nations enough to do
to find ways and means to
put their jobless men to
work?

1t is difficult to understand
for a young person who has

Instead of becoming angry
when reductions at home must
be made as far as the young
folk are concerned, a calm,
sensible talk is in order.
A full and complete explana-
ton should be made.

Rise and Fall
Of Napoleon

Many years ago Napoleon
III was aptly called by
Victor Hugo, a T Thomas
Mann of his time, "Na-
poleon the Little" " He, too,
got power under the forms
of republican government.
But once in power and with
the "force" at his COM
mand he did not 60 through
the mockery of an election.
The people awoke one morn
ing to find posters in the
streets of Paris announcing
that the ruler had assumed
monarchical power. There
was some complaint, but he
used his "force. T." Victor
Hugo made a bitter protest
and wrote a book in which
he explained that Napoleon
the Little" had Hortense
for a mother land some
father or other" " Then he
went upon his travels, and
on. a lonely island in exile
he wrote Lies Miserables. "
France swapped its freedom
for book. Then one day
seated on a dung heap at
Sedan, Napoleon ssed
from power under the majes-
tic gaze of Bismarck.
And Hindenburg, the
greatest German since the
Iron Chancellor?
We have a pathetic pic
tIre of the grand old figure
outlined in a lighted win
dow where for hours he
stood while the Hitlerites
marched by celebrating. We
are told that while he was
saluted the real enthusiasm
was for Hitler at another
lighted window.
But Hindenburg is tired.
And we are quite sure
that it was the combination
of nations that broke the
Hindenburg line and won
victory that made Hitler's
triumph certain.

The Campaign Is

A Farce
GA mad, mad world, my
masters.
The election campaign in
progress in Germany, under
the personal management Of
Hitler, may be followed in
America with curiosity and
without feeling. 1t is the
business of the Germans.
But it is fascinating to fol-
low the unfolding of a
drama which promises to
end the republic and demo-
cratic institutions and forms
in a great nation.
The election, apparently,
is to be a farce, for the
campaign is a farce now.
Any campaign IN which
only one side of the ques-
tion may be presented to
the people is an absurdity.
That is the case in the cam
paign now on in Germany.
When a government in
power can suppress leading
Catholic papers because they
dare publish the manifesto
of their party-a very great
party, of which Windthorst
was once the ornament-it
can prohibit debate. The
pretext for the suppression
is that the manifesto was
an insult to the Hitler party.
1t is as though all Ameri-
can papers publishing the
Democratic platform last
year had been suppressed
by the Administration on
the ground that its policies
had been insulted.

The Speeches of

for radio speeches by the

controlling the radio, an
nounces bluntly that oppo-

permitted the use of the air.
That is as though the

had been denied the use of
the radio and it had been
confined to the speeches of

The Legislative Session

From the standpoint of real accomplishment, the Eleventh Alaska Legislature, which con cluded its biennial session in Juneau last week, was the best in many years and a shining example for later legislative assemblies.
 The session was distinguished throughout by distinctly bus iness-like attitude and by a most unusual regard for the Territorial welfare and future. Further to its credit the Legis- lature displayed virtually mo- disposition to further clutter up the statutes with unnecessary CT unessential legislation. On the contrary, it devoted a large portion of it's energies to reduc- ing the volume of existing laws by removing a mass of obsolete or meaningless statutes.
 For this alone the legislators are entitled to abundant praise.
 With very few exceptions the new legislation passed is of a character to meet with general approval a n d particularly that pertaining to safeguard ing the public welfare.
 There was also an absence of political pa1tisanship and fact ional pickering rare indeed in the history of Alaskan legislat- ion. While this may be ac- counted for to some extent by the preponderant Democratic strength, the journals of both houses disclose scarcely an in stance wherein political con- alterations appeared a factor in the voting of either Demo- cratic or Republican members.
 Not even the most hypercrit- ical but must concede that the assembly made a splendid rec ord and is we'll entitled to the praise and thanks of all Alas kans.
