Journeys
MOUNT BAKER

There is surely no more de-
lightful vacation during the torrid
months of summer than a visit
to one of our national parks,
those national Fairgrounds set
aside for all time because Of
their rare beauty and oppor-
tunities for recreation.
One of the most beautiful of
these Fairgrounds, if not the
most famous, is Mount Baker
national forest in the northwest
corner of the State of Washing
ton. The heart of this scenic
wonderland is easily reached in
two hours by motor from Belling-
ham over a SPLENDID highway
with incompatible vistas revealed
at every turn.
Bellingham itself deserves more
than a casual survey. Built
around one of the best harbors
of Puget Sound, it has quickly
become an industrial and agri-
cultural center without in any
way impairing or neglecting it's
beauty. It is a tourist center,
too, with many visitors bound
for Mount Baker or British Co.
lum bia. A two-and-a-half-hour
drive along the famous Caribou
trail brings the motorist to IA
nous Harrison Hot Springs, the
pride of British Columbia. But
let's get back to our own Mount
Baker forest.
The outstanding feature of the
national forest, of course, is Mount
Baker, rising nearly 1000 feet
above sea level. Then there is pic.
truesque Mount Shuksan with its
tumbling ice from mighty glaciers.
Between the two mountains nestles
Heather Meadow, a beautiful al
pine park carpeted with colorful
heather and dotted with mirror,
like lakes surrounded by clusters
Of evergreen trees.

The authors of our Constitution

in the House, even in the case of
vacancies, should be filled not by
appointment of the governor or

other causes. If the governor does
not call an election, the seat re-

comparative peace. The man
in the flat below does not ex-
pect the man from the flat
above to break down the
door or shoot through it, or
make a hole in the ceiling
and drop down poison gas.
We have peace among our
forty-eight States, which are
forty-eight nations, some
greater in population than
important states of Europe
were in the 100 Years War.
The cave man in the pic
ture would, if he could, MUIR
der and eat his fellow man in
the next valley. We no
longer eat other men, canni-
balism has gone with slavery;
we do not kill men in the
next valley, we moderns kill
only in the next country.
In the nation, human be-
ings have established peace.
Once a king fought against
his great mobiles, as Louis the
Eleventh of France fought
against Charles the Fool
hardy of Burgundy, and
great mobiles fought against
each other, slaughtering their
miserable peasants in the
process.
That has ceased. Men have
learned at least to control
themselves as regards MUIR
dering neighbors, within ma
tional limits. Eventually
they will learn to establish
peace on earth, among ALL
human beings; they have
learned already to establish
neace within territories as
great as the United States,
and the British Empire.
There is comfort in the
knowledge that this earth,
and what we are pleased to
call our civilization" are
still in their infancy. Men
are only 10000 years from
the Late Stone Age, when
each one gladly killed and
ate his neighbor, at any OPP
portunity.

The $4,000 yearsago killed fewer but did his best

highly civilized to the most
barbarous, that does not con-
slider war a constant posi-
bility, an immediate menace.
1t is as though an individual
family living in an apart
ment house expected the
other tenants to rush in at
any moment to commit MUIR
der.
The peoples of the world
are crippled with taxation,
merely keeping ready for
war, in case it should come;
millions of young men in
their prime are taken from
useful work, to parade as
soldiers, or trained in the
art of numbering scientific
cally.
This nation, with no more
idea of attacking any other
than of committing national
suicide, yet finds itself COM
pelled TO spend for one
years war preparation al
most ONE THOUSAND
MILLION DOLLARS.
To keep ready for war,
costs this country today, al
most twice as much as it
cost to run the entire Gov
ernment, only a few years
ago.
And we live separated
from Europe and from Asia
by oceans on both sides,
with peaceful, non-aggres-
sive neighbors to the north
and south of us.

The earth, science proves
it, will last, with men on it,
for hundreds of millions Of
years longer.
There is time enough to
overcome international MUIR
der and it will be overcome.
1t may be that the time has
not arrived when men could
safely cease the barbarous
practice of war. In war, in
telligence wins; ignorance,
superstition, brutality lose in
the long run.
War eliminates the least
fit races, or deprives them Of
power, controls or checks
their growth. You might
imagine a voice of wisdom
from the sky saying, Il per-
NIT war to continue because
there is no other way of get
ting rid of those among you
that are unfit to live. You
will have peace when you are
fit to receive it,
Meanwhile, f or t u nately,
wars are no longer declared
by kings for their own
amusement, glory or per-
sonal hatred. The people
most nearly civilized loathe
war, and fear it-THAT IS
PROGRESS.
This nation, for instance,
would not again allow any
Woodrow Wilson to go wan
dering over Europe in a daze
of egotistical glory, promis-
ing the sun, moon and stars
to his worshippers, and send
ing millions of American
men to Europe and squander-
ing BILLIONS of American
dollars, according to his fan
tastic caprice.
War at least educates us,
as depression and poverty
educate us.
In time we learn, and IN
time the automatic killer of
the cave days, gazing across
the abyss of centuries, will
see, not what he sees today
a worse killer than himself
but a civilized human being,
risen above war.
That is the hope Of hui
manity.

Senator Moore:
"AppIejack has been called
whisky, it has been called rum,
and it has even been called
worse than that on occasions"
And as for beer-Senator Muir
ply continued:
1--WE know that there is that
chemical effect in the case of
beer. Beer bottled in an un.
colOred bottle, and permitted to
stand in the sun, will develop
what is known among customers
as a 'Skunky' TASTE"
POTEEN
It is hard to tell just how far
the Senate would have gone wrong
if it hadn't been for Senator
Murphy as further along in the
debate, Senator Joe Guffey wanted
to know what Irish whisky was
made of.
1--WE do not make Irish whis-
ky in this country" Senator
Murphy answered.
at is made from potatoes"
Senator Guffey declared.
"Oh, no. 1t is pOteen the Sen
atOr has in mind. Irish whisky
is not made from potatoes: it is
made from grain," was the re-
tort.
WHEN is GIN?
And near the conclusion 1t
became apparent, that of all the
liquors, Senator Alben w. Bark
ley doesn't like gin. But what
he doesn't know about gin is
not worth knowing. AS he put it
what about gin? know
nothing about gin except what
I have learned about it from
study, because l do not con-
sumo it. l am not interested
in its consumption. 1 do not
even like the OdOr of it.
But gin is ethyl alcohol fur
ther distilled over, what are
called arOmatics which in most
cases take the form of juniper
berries, so that every bottle of
gin that is for sale is a bever-
age which represents ethyl alcO-
hOl rediStilled over arOmaticS,
usually juniper berries.
"Under the proposed amend
ment we could not call it gin al
though it is ethyl alcohol, indis-
tinguishable from any other
kind of ethyl alcohol. We could
not take that alcohol and redis-
till it over an aromatic and call
it gin. If we cannot call it gin,
what can we call it, and what Is
it?
what will it be, if it is not
gin? 1t is the same sort of bever.
age, it is made by the same pro-
cess, but we cannot call it gin.
If we cannot call it gin, what

Well they used to use a bathtut
and still call 1t gin, Senator.

KNOTTY PROBLEMS

KNOTTY PROBLEMS
The barker longed for something
to drink;
The Senate was getting right
frisky;
Why worry to make the lemon
ade pink?
The boys were talking of
whisky.
And so they were. Not only were
they talking about it but they were
explaining just how it was made.
Where the alcohol comes from for
gin; how to put the bubbles IN
champagne; what gives beer that
"skunky" taste and, above all,
what they don't like to drink.
Little, if anything, was said,
however, about what they do like
to drink.
CHAMPAGNE
Right off the bat Senator Hiram
johnson had his say about cham
payne. In offering an amendment
to the liquor tax bill he com
planned:
"Perhaps it may be because
I am not particularly fond of
champagne and perhaps it may
be because 1 do not drink it with
great frequency because of its
cost, but whatever may be the
reason why we should be for
hidden either to drink cham
payne that is manufactured in
Missouri or in California because
France may manufacture its
champagne in a different
fashion, passes my cOmprehen-
sion entirely"
The discussion didn't even over
look the necessary ingredients
say for an orange blossom" Sen
ator Royal S. Copeland, New York
wanted to know if Senator John
son had any objection to a foreign
country selling a popularity known
fruit from California in this coun
try. Senator Johnson retorted:
"OOes not the Senator see
that there is no analogy between
what he states and the subject
we are now discussing? An
orange is an orange. If the
analogy were followed at all the
Senator would say that we would
try to prevent somebody selling
oranges as oranges because our
people sell oranges as oranges.
That is just as clear as mud"
Next on the wine list was apple
jack. Senator A. Harry Moore
New Jersey, and Senator Louis
Murphy. Iowa, paused to straighter
that out. Said Senator Murphy
APPLEJACK
"Applejack is not cOntem-
plated. Applejack is made from
a fruit. Applejack is a brandy
and is not to be affected by the
provisions of the amendment"
Senator Moore:
But it has been called whis-
ky"
Senator Murphy:

The Washington times., 1936-05-23

THESE savages of the
l. human race, fighter of
the ancient cave, and fighter
of the modern trench, look
at each other across $4,000
years and have changed
little.
In ways innumerable, the
human race has improved,
accomplishing wonders of
the mind, but it has not be-
come civilized.
Almost everything that he
could imagine, and plan,
man has done in a scientific
way. He has moved up
from the damp cave in the
rocks, and the platform over
the lakes, to the skyscraper
and sunshine.
Instead of riding astride
a tanned buffalo with a ring
in it's nose, modern man
guides his automobile and
his airplane.
He tears the earth apart
with giant plows, puts to
work machines with fingers
of steel, that have freed the
slaves. He uses the invisible
power of electricity, steam's
expansive force, the ex-
plosive power of gasoline.
He harnesses and controls
the great cataracts!
But man cannot control
himself.
Ours is today a killer race,
as it was $4,000 years ago
and as it was in its animal
ancestry, according to evolu-
tionists, 100000 years
ago.
1t is not that civilized
men want war; they dread
it, hate it. They know that
war Injuries everybody on
both sides, except a few
jackals of profit, no matter
which side wins.
Yet, still, as in ancient
times, men calling them
selves civilized talk, protest
their love of peace, form
Leagues to prevent war;
then march out and kill.
There is not a nation on
