 Guy Mish, Nome's new deal postmaster, was called forward and presented with the trowel with which the corner stone was to be laid. He was instructed by Dr. Morcom to use it often to spread the csment of human kind ness and brotherly love"

Delegate Dimond, as guest of honor, placed the first trowel- full of cement. Postmaster Guy Mish, John Blanksna, Andrew Sandegren, Judge J.H.S.Morison, Dr. Thomas Morcom, Mayor Al win Polet, and A.

He expressed his pride at being an Alaskan, and his happiness at having some part in securing for fellow Alaskans civic improve ments and benefits.
 He joined with Judge Morrison in urging that We consecrate not only our building, but ourselves, in the fundamental American ideals of justice and liberty, as it is only thus that We may hold our nation above the grasp of fascisrn and communism, wolves bowling at the door of democ- racy.
 His closing words were: ''The fact that you are here is the best proof that you are good and loyal citizens of our nation. May

 Such occasions tend to inspire us in a sort of reconsecration of ourselves to our country; to stren ethen our patriotism; and to deep en our appreciation; our admir- ation; and our lasting love and exaltation of the law.
 The popular conception of the law is that it is an invention of society to punish the criminal, and that its efficiency is to be measured by the number of per sons executed or incarcerated in jails and penitentiaries; that the wise and good have no need of it, except in so far as it shields them against the aggressions of the criminals; but, strange to say, the restraint and the punishment Of the criminal constitute the lesser part of the business of the courts.
 In the complexities of modern life, where the civilization and the ingenuity of man has devel- oped and expanded beyond all dreams of the past, we find that more and more laws become ne cessary, and broader and deeper preparations and training de- manded for its administration, not so much for the punishment of crime, but rather for the in- depreciation and guidance of the stupenduous modern economic activities of the country.
 The idea, indeed, the spirit of the modern administration of the criminal law is, above all things, to do justice to the citizen; to replace lost opportunities; to re- claim; to uplift, and to built or rebuild, if possible, manhood and character.
 However, the law is not all powerful! It cannot, unsupport- ed accomplish the purposes of its creation. It may make men quit committing crime; but it cannot | make men quit being the kind of men that need the law to make them quit committing crime.
 That is the mission of public sentiment behind the law, and I without which courts cannot func tion successfully.
 Our laws did not come down to us like the Commandments from the lightnings and thund- CTS of Sinai; but they are, never the-less, god-like and venerable.
 They are the growth of the ages. They originated in the ancient Common Law of Eng land; found expression in the Magma Charta; and were estab- lished forever in those fundamen tai principles of, and behind our Constitution which declare that we will sell no man, we'll not deny any man either justice or right; that no man shall be de- prived of his life, liberty or pro- perty without due process of law; that the property of no man shall be taken for public use without just compensation; nor any man be deprived of the equal protection of the laws.
 Truly, these expressions of those great and fundamental principles of justice and right, along with the other assurances of our great Bill of Rights, at- tune our. souls to that sublime conception, that the law is, in- deed, the pride of the human in- tellect, the perfection of reason, whose seat is the bosom of God and whose voice is the harmony of the world.
