Indiscreet Editing.

 Another volume of letters from the late Earl of Oxford and Asquith to his friend, Mrs. Harrison, has just been published in London Like the first Iinstallment they are largely personal literary and philosophical But the writer's sharp pen, before, does not spare men still in public life In letter dated ten years ago he spoke pityingly of Prime Minister MacDonald-"Poor Ramsay'-who had talk len on burden far too heavy for him. There are lsarcastic and even bitter comments Lloyd George, with whom Lord Oxfords breach was permanent, whom he never forgave and whom he held, as did Lord Grey, to be man upon whose word nobody lcould rely. AS such sentiments and attitudes were well known to exist, there perhaps no indis- cretion in allowing them to find their way into print But the case different with reports of Lord Oxford's conversations with Colonel House.
 The former intimate friend of President Wilson is quoted as having spoken of his "perverse and tact less arrogance which prevented this country from
 joining the League of Nations Even more question
 able is the opinion attributed to Colonel House that
 Mr. Wilson's paraytic stroke was due to his violent hatred" of the Senate. In like manner Theodore RooSevelts "paralytic stroke"-which, by the way, | he did not have-was caused by his intense dislike of Wilson whom he "loathed with passion morning,

BE PREPARED!

Nothing, apparently can prevent a general strlke in San Francisco and the bay region generally No sane person can contemplate the results of that with comfort. It means untold suffering misery, hardship. It will hit the innocent as hard as the guilty Whose is the fault, do not attempt to say There are 1250 jobs for longshoremen in San Francisco There are 4,000 union members voting on propositions for settlement of the dock workers grievances. It is clear that if the l,25O experienced and trained workmen all voted to settle, the remainder of the membership could defeat any proposition which they did not approve This is the condition that laid the foundation for the general strike
 Right or wrong, it is fact and not theory It is not improbable that the monstrous thing will spread far beyond the confines of San Francisco Puget Sound ports may be dragged into it. Two or three weeks ago Seattle unions not favorable to a general tieup but that doesn't mean they will not follow the lead of the Golden Gate unions Portland seems ready to join the movement. Seattle does, Tacoma and other ports in the Northwest hardly escape. And that means shipping will be tied up again
 In view of the trend, Alaskan firms will do well to order supplies well ahead of current demands Even now our stores are short of many commodities Fresh meats are short is produce fruits and other things vitally needed. general strike under existing conditions will hurt Alaska tremendously even if every precaution is taken We should be prepared for any eventuality.

Shaming the Old Guard.
(New York World-Telegram)

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, President of the National Republican Club and with him Ogden Mills James w. Wadsworth and others of the Re- publican Old Guard, might well sit down and ponder the sane, farsghted given by elder Republicans George w. Wickersham and former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois for declining appointment to the clubs National Affairs Com mittee
 Urging that younger men should undertake and carry through the work of this committee, MT Wickersham wrote:
 They will understand perhaps better than
 we the future policies which the party
 must adopt if it is to win back its position
 of leadership in national affairs
 Men of our generation greatly out of sympathy with what is being done at the present time that perhaps they fail to appreciate the concessions that must be made to the new spirit of the age and just l. how far those concessions should go MT. Lowden likewise believes "the time has come when younger men in the Republican Party must assume responsibility"
 This is wise elder statesmanship" we think, in any party that hopes to progress It is timely warning to Old Guard standpatsm and reaction It is deserved encouragement for the life and liberalism Republican State Chairman Macy seeks to put into his party's policies and leadership. The very antithesis of such wisdom was seen in the Old Guards recent choice of E. Edmund Machold for member of the National Republican Clubs State Affairs Committee. With the utilities issue already well nigh para mount in this State, with a State Senator impli. cated and broad legislative investigation of utilities impending, with the Republican stronghold o Westcheser County getting ready to discard another State Senator regarded as too friendly to the linteress-despite all these conspicuous signs ane portents the Old Guard deliberately snubbed MT Macy and picked for it's high councils the one mar in New York State longest and best known as chic agent of the Power Trust
 MT Machold the State Affairs Committe sticks out like thumb to convict the Olt Guard of colossal arrogance and stupidity. Colonel Roosevelt can at least recognize tn bhlnder by asking MT Machold to resign Unles the President of the National Republican Clu secures the Machold resignation Old Guard Re publicanism will cut sorrier figure than eve contrasted with the self-sacrificng, forward-look ing party spirit of veteran but still large -mnde Republicans like George w. wckersham and forme Governor Lowden.

TESTING RECOVERY.

Undismayed by the attacks being made on his program, and willing and ready to let the people of the country decide the issue President Roosevelt in the radio address he made just before going on his vacation, put the matter squarely before each individual to decide It is not an abstruse question but one that vitally each and every resi- dent of the country. And this was the way MT Roosevelt left it to them:
 But the simplest way for each of you to judge recovery lies in the plain facts of your individual situation. Are you better off than you were last year? Are your debts less burdensome? Is your bank account more secure? Are your working conditions better? Is your faith in your own individual future more firmly grounded?
 Also, let me put to you another simple question:
 Have you as an individual paid too high price for these gains? Plausible self seekers and theoretical die-hards will tell you of the loss of individual liberty
 Answer this question also out of the facts of your life: Have you lost any of your rights or liberty constitutional freedom of action and choice? Turn to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution, which have solemnly sworn to maintain and under which your freedom rests secure Read every pro- vision of that Bill of Rights and ask yourself whether you personally have suffered the impairment of single jot of these great assurances.
 I have no question in my mind as to what your answer will be. The record is written in the experiences of your own
 personal lives.
 It is not political issue but personal ont It has. however, political angle. In the approach ing elections. voters will be called on to say whethe they want to be represented by those who are i sympathy with the Presidents program by person who are opposed to it.

will perform away from Annapolis
Saturday, while the plebes will
furnish most of the show at An
napolis. The one varsity contest
for the Navy at home will be a
water-polo game against New
York Athletic Club.
The Navy boxers go to Char.

Of Virginia, its wrestlerS to Cam
bridge to match Harvard. its baS-
ketball team to New York city to
line up against Columbia. and its
fencers will cross blades with
Princeton in the Tigers lair. For
the boxers and wrestlers it will be
the only trip of the season.
Boxing High Spot
The high spot in Saturdays
card will be the boxing match with
Virginia, the Navy contingent re-
garding that match as one Of the
most important Of the whole
schedule OF winter sports. The
special interest lies in the fact
that Virginia sent the only boxing
team to Annapolis which has
ever won from the Navy mittmen.
Virginia's defeat Of Navy took
place last season, and was one Of
three the Sailor team has received

Though six members Of last

again and three Of Virginia's, it
is unlikely that any of the direct
opponents Of last year will meet
again. Two Of Virginia'S veterans
are Hahn and Rainey, rs and 125

ponents, Wright and Dolan, have

defend successfully his crown
against Joe Knight, of Georgia.
in their 15-round meeting mere
tonight. The fight was originally
scheduled to be held last Thurs
day, but was postponed because
of inclement weather.
There appeared to be some
doubt as to whether the Madison
Square Garden Corporation and
the Miami Milk Fund, co-pro-
moters, would be able to gain a
profit from the bout. Rosen-
bloom has been guaranteed a
$4,000 purse and the advance
sale is said to exceed this figure
by little. Knight is working on
a percentage basis and may pos
sibly have to fight for nothing.
Although championship boxing
matches are not legal in Florida,
an arrangement has been made
by the promoters with the State
Boxing Commission whereby a
decision will be rendered at the
conclusion of the bout and the
winner declared the champion.
