SUIT OVER VESSEL
 REVEALS ROMANCE
 STARTED IN ALASKA
Seattle Times)

The romance between an Alas kan Indian girl and white cap tain of fishing vessel, which was eliminated in marriage, was in jected in a case being heard in Superior Judge Howard M. Find ley's court here.
 Mrs. Rudolph Johansson, 1413 Queen Anne Ave, pretty Indian girl in modern white girls clothes, is the wife of the captain of the fishing vessel Waseca, over which a legal battle is being waged She handed over her 7-weeks-old baby son, Lloyd, to other Indian girls, friends, when she took the stand after her husband had testified.
 R. H. Maslan, owner of the Was eca and brother of A. L. and Ben Maslan, Seattle attorneys, seeks to recover $2,000 for the chartering of the boat in 1883. The defend ants, Joe Gluck and Sam Free- man, operators of the Klawock Packing Company, fishing firm of Klawock, Alaska, say the vessel was used two days and then was out of commission.

MANY YOUNG MEN ATTEND
 COLLEGE MINES COURSE

A good portion of the students attending the ten weeks mining short course at the College of Alas ka this year were bona-fide pros pectors and plan to carry their short course training back into the hills with them, according to Dean Ernest N. Patty of the College, in an interview in the Farthest North Collegian.
 Many of them were young men, showing the fallacy of the state ment that the younger generation is not willing to endure the hard life of the prospector. The young prospector is beginning to appre- ciate the fact that he cannot de- pend entirely upon stumbling on easy-to-find outcrops of ore. He realizes that the prospector of the future must be well-trained If he is going to increase his. chances of success in his venture" =.

 Happens In Both Parties
 There is nothing new in this in clination to switch the conversa- ton to candidates the moment anyone mentions issues.
 It happens regularly in both par ties, in spite of the fact that the politicians of both parties love to go on telling the voters that ours is a government of principles, not a government of men" Many worthy cause has been rejected merely because the wrong man ad- vanced it.
 National conventions, following the theory that men and issues should be kept separate, adopt the platform first, then select the nom- inees. The catch is that any can didate having enough delegates to nominate him uses those delegates also to control the platform com mittee.
 Even then, more than one can didate has calmly though adroitly repudiated those parts of the plat form he did not like. Candidate Talk"
 The public declarations of Re publican lea a s-including MT. Hoover have expressed special anxiety to keep the question of candidates out of the present phase of party deliberations.
 It seems doubtful whether they really have had any hope of doing so. That it will be very hard to accomplish can be seen easily-es- pecially now that MT Hoover has broken his silence.

We hear much talk about COM
munism in our schools and col
leges today, and various patriotic
organizations have gone to great
great lengths to impress the public
with the fear that communism will
become rampant in this country.
But these groups fail in many in
stances to recall that the same
crys of beware of communism
arose In italy and In Germany
when the relationships were being
founded.
AS to the reasons why this great
feeling for peace has arisen among
the younger people, they are rath-
err difficult to explain. Perhaps the
young people have heard enough
of the recent war to understand
the futility, the folly and the hor-
ror Of 1t all, but at any rate they
have arrived at the correct estima-
ton Of war-that 1t has no place in

Students Favor Peace
In a recent poll taken at Gust
avus Adolphus college, the student
body expressed itself emphatically
in favor Of peace. On a test devel-
oped by two college professors, the
students showed that they favored
an attitude between moderate and
extreme pacifism.
The results OF peace polls taken
at various other colleges and uni
versities throughout the country
have been very similar, the stud
ents in the majority of cases vot-
ing in favor of pacifism with very
few expressing any inclination to-
ward militaristic spirit.
This Is indeed q healthy sign. In
spite of the talk of war, the prepar-
atoms which the various Euro
pean countries Of the world are
making, and the rather militaristic
attitude which our own nation has
been taking in recent months the
young people, who after all would
be most affected by another war,
are retaining their sense of pro-
portion and voting against mill
tarism.

he paid no attention to the de-
mands made by communistic forces
that the defendants be turned
loose. He handed out good stiff Jail
sentences to all defendants, TAX
ing the position that man who
violates the law should be punished
regardless OF whether he be a poor
man or a rich man. The Judge is
being threatened for his fine dis
play of American decency. but his
act will go long ways toward
making cranks realize that when
they sneer and scott at Law they
must answer for 1t. We need more
such judges. We have had judges
who showed favor to big men,"
and we have had political. judges
who favored poor men," But we
need judges who favor no class,
seeking only to maintain decent
respect for law and order so that
the processes Of civilization may
go on without the interruption OF
crazy anarchists who have no res
pect for any law or order.--Murray

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Pauper cities
From Our Exchanges


The time may not be far away
when officials of a bankrupt city
will be able to point with pride to
their deficits which resulted m
I. getting payment in fun, by the
federal government, for their work
projects. Officials Of thriftier
city win be worrying about raising
their share Of the cost Of similar
projects, for which the national
government will pay only part.
Some cities are penniless through
no fault Of their officials, but
others are destitute because, with
the implied approval Of the citi-
Gems. those in control have mis-
governed them for years. And
some cities are in good financial
condition because their officials
faced problem courageously, cut
expenses in way that hurt politi-
cally. and because their citizens
conscientiously paid taxes, at great
sacrifices. Now the INDECENT, or
careless city, is to get greater help
from the government than the
thrifty one, which may have suf-
Tered even more by trying to keep
out Of the hole.
OF course 1t Is true that needy
cities, like needy families, must be
helped to get along whether their
troubles are of their own making
or not, but the government should
avoid the thing that has damaged
so many New Deal projects in the
eyes OF the nation-penalizing the
thrifty persons who are trying to
keep their jobs, businesses or
farms, and pay their bills.
Civic consciences are none too
tender In the country now. Unless
the government is very careful its
program OF rewarding the city
that has not made a success of
handling its own financial affairs
at the expense Of one which has
rot done good job of it will strike
at that desire of the voters to pro-
tect their own interests, which up
to now has been the hope Of dem.

The old age pension bill that
failed to become a law because of
clerical error after it had passed
both houses and signed by the gov
ernor, containtd one clause that
ought to be retained in new legis-
lation when 1t is considered at the
special session.
This provision was to the effect
that If an old age applicant had
children or others legally response
BILE for their care, who were finan-
cially able to extend such care, the
applicant was ineligible for the
pension. This seems like a fair and
reasonable provision.
1t was figured out that without
it there were 165,0OO persons in the
state who would be Immediately
eligible for the proposed $50
monthly pension. This would have
involved an annual expense of
$59, 100000, or a sum four times the
present tax on land for state pur-
poses. BY insisting that families
old age dependents do so, the pen
sion rolls would be cut down to a
size that they could be financed

Popular Fallacies

After erroneous statement has been reported
often enough it is next to impossible to eradicate it
from the popular mind.
For many years the question asked why the
addition of fish to a pail of water would not add
to the weight Of the bucket and its contents Several
ingenious explanations were offered, but the real
reason could not be agreed upon. Finally some in
quisitive skeptic weighed bucket of water and af
ter adding a five pound fish weighed it again. IL
weighed just five pounds more than it did before
adding the fish. The question, therefore, shown
to be based upon false assumption
A similar situation is pointed out by the Christ
ian Science Monitor in the question of why
the younger generation is much inclined to crime
ihlrteen cities reporting to the United States Chill
drens Bureau showed that in nine of them juvenile
delinquency decreased last year. while an increase
was noted in only four.
Likewise, 1t is popularity supposed that crime in
chicago more prevalent than ever before Yet act
ua statistics show that crime since 1915 in that city
has not increased in proportion to the increase in
population.
1t is unwise to jump at conclusions or take too
much for granted
