A SCHOLAR SPEAKS

Like a breath of fresh air from a
demonstrated hillside, and as welcome as
the first thaw of the Spring was a speech
made in the Senate recently by Senator
Henry F. Ashurst, an Arizona Democrat
Ashurst is recognized by his colleagues
as one of the outstanding scholars and
thinkers in Congress. A lawyer, he en-
tered the Senate on March 81, 1912 and
has devoted special attention to govern
ments past, present and future.
Without indulgirg in forenscs, AS
hurst told the Senate that it would more
truly serve our country by combining our
operations to our legislative power" than
by trying to curtail powers of the Supreme
Court.
"The legislative powers granted to
Congress are enumerated and limited in
the Constitution, he said. That limitation,
he continued, was mot by chance, was not
fortuitous, was not accidental, but was de-
liberate''
ct is true that our powers as mem
bers of Congress are limited he said, "but
nevertheless if properly exercised they are
Of sufficient amplitude and grandeur to

Jealous champions of true progress and
needful reforms, to the mott redoubtable

INVESTIGATE ALL FIRES

The citizens of Key West have had
called to their attention the enormous fire
losses which are suffered in the United
States. Compared to similar losses in for
eign countries our losses, ten times as
great per CAPITA" according to Irving T.
Bush, are national disgrace.
There is only one way to handle such
national habit. Rigid investigation of
ali fires should be insisted upon. That
means if it means anything, that rigid in
vestigation OF all fires should be made in
ley West. We cannot sit back and urge
steps to stop this enormous loss, which is
paid for by everyone who insures property
without at he same time, taking steps to
see that fires in Key West are honest
fires.
Til, business of fires has been known
in certain sections, to increase at great
rate Iui lg hard times. In fact, in one
section some years ago the fires began to
burn so fiercely and unexpectedly that all
insurance companies quit writing business
there. Many of the fires were of doubtful
origin, but few Investigations were made
into their causes.

LABOR FACES CIVIL WARFARE

Concerning the merits of industrial
unionism as contraSted with craft unionism
we are unable to speak but the threatened
war between the United Mine Workers
and the American Federation of Labor,
champions of the opposing systems, means
tough shedding for labor generally until
the issue is settled and the workers of the
nation quit fighting each other.
Incidentally, William Green, presi-
dent of the A. F. of L., came up through
the ranks of a miners union and once
fought for industrial uniOnsm. Recently
he made a futile effort to persuade the
miners to abandon their attack upon craft
unionism. Instead they overwhelmingly
supported their president, John l.. Lewis,
who, when he concludes the time is ripe,
will probably lead them out of the Fed
Grafton.
1t may be that the ultimate end of
the schism will be for the benefit of labor
ers, as many believe, but until the war is
settled labor is apt to suffer.

 RETURNS HOME

Miss Inez Keister, who has been visiting Mrs. E. H. Bugge for the past six weeks, is returning home in Seattle on the steamer North Sea. While in Juneau, Miss Keister was extensively entertained by schoolmates at college and many other friends.
 Miss Keister is an honor student at the University of Washington, majoring in art, and plans to re- enter that school for the coming term. She declared that Alaska is the most wonderful country in the world as far as she is concerned, and expressed doubt that she will ever again be satisfied to be in Seattle after her stay here. Another southbound passenger on the North Sea and a friend of Miss Keister, is Scott Ford, a grad uate of the Juneau High School and a local aviation enthusiast who is entering the University of Wash ington as fre.hman, to study geology.
