 One hates to find fault with anything in Professor Furnas excellent speech at the Book Fair but there passage n it that may be resented by the senior class: No has solved the problem of senhity. Old age a fact has to be swallowed, but what must be the feelings of the Aged One when he finds that he is problem? He knows that he is not immortal but why rank him, say. with the delinquent child? Probably old folks find some consolation in the thought that somebody else is older At any rate it is his own preservation rather than that of other monuments of fortune good habits or bad that interests him. Besides he ought to have amassed in many years wisdom enough to forget his age so far IS he can instead of worrying about it.
 There is something cheering in the statement of Professor Furnas that the old Roman had a better chance of surviving another ten years than has the old American

Eve section has its problems it will bring to the Legisi tors glimpse of what the people of the Inter expecting from the lawmakers is found in u following comment appearing in the Fairbanks New Miner:
 Congress will convene within a month. The Alaska legislature will convene within a. month. Alaska has many urgent needs to place before both legislative bodies.
 Fairbanks and her vast interior tributary area have many specific needs.
 Many of these needs have been expressed before The more urgent of them should be forcbly brought to the attention of the leg islators again
 It is well to remember that many of the members of congress are newly elected and needs be informed to what the Territory and this region in particular needs
 Alaska's delegate to congress, her friends in the western states and other congressional members, if they are to work effectively for Alaska, must have fresh information which to proceed.
 The legislators at Juneau also need fresh information and up-to-date minute recom- mendations and support
 Here is the chance for the representative organizations of Fairbanks and other Alaskan centers to make good with petitions and resolutions.
 Strong appeals through the Alaskan organizations and the Los Angeles, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and other Pacific Coast Chambers of Commerce all of which have avowed their intentions of helping Alaska, should prove effective. Chambers in those cities appreciate the fact they have splendid breadbasket in Alaska and will be than willing to support reasonable and well timed appeals for aids along lines that will mean the development of Alaska and expansion of

any sense beyond the refeXes. there
must be one capable of accepting the
burden of personal dignity and per-
sonal place in the world. since place
or class, if you will-has ever been.
and will always be, the determiner of
standards and the balance wheel of
the individual against social chaos.
Social chaos exists widely today-and
man is a negation, holding himself
together by nothing more developed
than the primordial terror of his
ineradicable vanity.
Mr.. Ferguson, after several hundred
pages of argument, examination and
study, announces fundamentally that
he has discovered this very thing, but
he is kinder in his manner of saying
SO. AS he puts it, the old order has
changed and ethics must change, too,
or we shall be in parlous state,
shepherd, a parlous state, indeed. In
the end he falls back Oh that good
old feather-bed for modern philoso-
phers-frustration.
Says he, What modern man must
slowly create for himself is new
conscience. Impulse Is the SUBJ
stance of life, and discipline its form.
Constantly the substance is sacrificed
to the form. The tragedy of mod
ern man is less the tragedy of death
than of Illustration. His hope is that
logic and inquiry will dissolve the
bonds that bind him to his primitive
and religious past the only
transcendent whole that can contain
his spirit is the unified whole Of the
conscious human being"
In other words, Mr.. Ferguson seems
to reverse the finding of the immortal
Able Coignard. That good priest re-
marked of a certain group Of human
beings that they ought to be treated
leniently, for" said he, 'they sin
without malice" This hearty state
Of nature, according to Mr.. Ferguson,
has been so altered that today we
find men retaining all their malice.
but incapable of sin. A new conscience
indeed!
But why should we have to wait
for logic and inquiry" to supply it?
Have not these methods long been
supplanted by science? The obvious
thing IS for our biologists to locate
the conscience gland Of some power
full and unfrustrated mammal-say,
the grizzly bear. And then let our
surgeons learn to insraft 1t. After
