PALMER THE ORPHAN

If the manner in ich the l35 tourists of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce were given an onportun- ity to see Palmer last Saturday is any indi cation o f what future tour parties will do then Palmer is com- Dletely out of luck. And this in spite of the fact that many admit tedly came on the tour expressly to see what was going on here.
 It is cinch that no one saw very much. DerhaDs two dozen got across the tracks into the Commun i ty Center. One got as far as the hos Dital, then had to turn and run back in answer to the trains impatient whi istling. Their fifteen minutes were up.
 The ride up from l-atanuska by bus and car had whetted their a0Detites for info rmat ioh about the olony, but they had no time after arriving here to get their questions answered or see what had been done.
 We don't know who to blame, but we are not convinced that the rush out of Palmer represents the wishes of the touri sts t}le1ns elves. Quite the contrary. Said one woman While rushing to catch the train: fWhy do we have to go back to Anchorage for dinner? Wet already seen Anchorage. Seward too, and yet we will be in Seward again all day to- morrow"
 That sounded like a good argument to us, especially so when we found that they were to stop over again in Anchorage for their second meal. That hour and half could have been spent here, with plenty of accomoda- tions for eating.
 Was the itinerary discus sed with the Los Angeles c of c before they started? Are Railroad schedules so inflexible that the desires of the tour parties can't be considered?
 Perhaps someone is ashamed of Palmer. We aren't. We are, proud of it, and we feel that we are entitled to some consideration when itinerar- ies are suggested by the railroad and steamship comDanies. Palmer is to be the goal f many tour parties this season. The tourist is enti- tied to more than Is minutes here and we are entit to the oDDortun- ity of proving to them that most of the bowling they have heard about ire pro feet has no fOundati ion in

SUGGESTIONS SOUGHT FOR INK GLACIER ICE POOL

The annual damming of Lake George by the Knik Glacier is some times spoken of as the eighth Won- der of the world. Right here in our back yard we have the mak1ngs of one of the greatest ice pools in the country.
 The outlet of Lake George is each year damned by the slow and irresistible advance of the g1a- cier: Melting SHOWS gather in the lake, building it up to deDth of 400 feet and backing the waters for a distance of 25 miles. Then, when the pressure is sufficient, the 400 foot wall of ice gives way The rush of water carries before i great bergs the size of huge bui1i ings, sending them rolling and tun bling down the angry river.
 Vic Morgan, the guide from Mat anuska, took t he only moving pic- lures ever made of this automatic dam formed by nature. For weeks he had waited for the wall of ice to $ i've way. T!.en when the break came, shaking the earth and sondi1 an echo through the mountains that sounded like the roar of angry gof Vic stood there with his mouth opC so aWcd by the l1nnenslJy or the C; tuclysm that he forgot to turn thu crank on his camera. He soon sna1 ped out of it, though, and got so1 really remarkable scenes.
 Now we would like to have sug- gestions on how the break of this lake can be accurately timed. Nan. of tho co lonists have hiked to th' glacier and have seen the wall of i co c7O einC in the 7ake.
 Perhaps we could do as they do in the 57O, 900 Nenana Ice Pool -- attach q wire to a clock. That would entail the hiring of men to act as observers. For this first year we would like to eliminate the expense possible. What sugge tions have you? Leave your 1uec tn Ed Cronin or at the PIONEER office.
 The following are the dates a. which the lake has broken free fC the past Il years.

THEY DEFY THE LAW

One of the most powerful influences in North
Carolina is that which is represented by the slot
machine industry.
Despite efforts on the part of many leading citi-
zens who realize the harm done by these contrap-
tions, they are still allowed to operate in many
cities throughout North Carolina.
During the last session of the legislature, the
lever-type machine definitely outlawed. But
the manufacturers managed to slip in another kind
of machine the kind in which balls fall into slots
or pockets They're supposed to be games of skill,
but they're used for gambling practically exclusive
w. Not only that, but the old lever-type is also
gradually making its temperance again.
If these machines are allowed to operate in your
city, it is prima facie evidence of of two things
either some of your city officials have been
bribed or else they are deliberately closing their
eyes to what's going In other words, they're
either crooked or inefficient
The slot-machne industry has defied the better
element of citizenship in North Carolina. 1t has
defied our legislators and the influence OF our
churches, as well as that of other institutions.
How long they going to be allowed to get
away with 1.-THE State. 't--.

WHY MORE FARM LAND

Governmental policies are often difficult to I'M
derstand and one that is especially bewildering
Just now is that which pays farmers for keeping
their land out of cultivation the one hand, while
on the other it spends hundreds of millions on re-
clamation projects to provide more land.
q The inconsistency and absurdity of such a
course was pointed out in recent speech by James
R. Howard, an Iowa farmer and former president
of the American Farm Bureau Federation, who
particularly referred to the Columbia River deve-
lopment which he characterized as the biggest re-
clamation project the world has ever known, its
avowed purpose being to bring 100000 acres of
desert land into cultivation four times the po-
tentia expansion of Boulder Dam.
e He quotes the engineers as stating that the cost
to the federal treasury to make these 100000
acres table will be 800 million dollars and adds:
''Thus, while the government is insisting that re-
duce my production, it is taxing the nation S35O
per acre to bring these competing acres into cuti-
walton. | am told that this is only one of some Is
reclamation projects being financed by the govern
ment." ..at
The situation which Mr.. Howard describes is
something for every farmer and every taxpayer to
think about. And every person in the United
States who buys anything is taxpayer, directly OF
indirectly,
A government policy which forces good land out
Of cultivation while paying enormous prices to pro-
vide additional farm land through reclamation sim
ply does not make sense.-Monroe Enquirer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A GUTTERSNIPING SENATOR

Senator Nye disqualifies himself, both in person
and as United States Senator, for the respect OF
his fellow-countrymen in his unwaranted dishon-
oring of the name of, Woodrow Wilson 81.
The senator would have the American public be-
lieve that President Wilson was in connivance with
the great international banking interests when he
decided to throw his country into the World War
It is, of course unthinkable that Mr. Wilson, as
Senator Nye brusquely charges, fasfied the diplo-
matte records to cover up his sinister tracks
One only has to go back to the historic message
of MIR. Wilson to Congress on that fateful day when
Americas lot was cast in with the Allies and to
obscfye the serious, solemn and measured tread of
those classic lines to arrive at once at the conclu
sion that Senator Nye is either uncommonly stupid
or that he has fallen into fit of temporary polit-
cal insanity to make such charge agalnht the hol
ored memory of the nations great war leader.
Let us recall that Wilson declaration of war to
the Congress: ....
"It is fearful thing to lea dthis great and
peaceful people into war, into the most terrible
and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself
seeming to be in the balance. But right is more
precious than peace, and we shall fight for the
things which we have always carried nearest in
our hearts The day has come when America
is privileged to spend her blood and might for
the principles that gave her birth and happiness
and the peace which she has always treasured.
God helping her, she can do no other"
These are the heavy-hearted words of man
who had been driven to the end of his patience and
his wits in trying to keep America out of war, who
had been ridicued from one end OF the country to
the other when he previously had said that America
was too proud to fight and who, at last, when his
heroic efforts to maintain neutrality had broken
down, sorrowfully came to the only conclusion per-
missible in dignity and honor and led the American
nation into what he conceived to be battle to save
civilization. .,
Senator Nye's utter fanatcism or gross prejudice
or blunt ignorance in the face of history and IN the
face of the nations recollection, of the unsuliied
honorableness of it's War President is beneath the
dignity of the high office he holds.
1t would even be beneath the level of the gutter.
