Two Young Men Will Seek Upwelling Water and

Two young men from the British Isles who arrived in Juneau on the Prince George last night, journeyed here to carry on a peculiar study in connection with glaciers.
 The men are Maxwell Dunbar, zoologist. and his friend Wallace Rrigden. medical student both Of whom were scholarship students at Yale from oxford and Cambridge respectively.
 Dunbar explained the Alaska trip a, a correlatory study in connec- ion with glacial study findings ln .he Photographic field in Green land. where phenomenal upWell- ings of water occur approximate to the face of the glacier, and by req son of such. a great deal of plank tonic life is brought to the surface where it provokes the collection ot bird and animal life that feeds upon the life brought up
 Tn 1885 and 1886, Dunbar spent the summer making his studies in Greenland. He does not expect to find the same upwellings of waters from depth at the face of Alaskan glaciers. from what he has heard
 But it will be just as interesting if we don't find such action ,' Dun bar said. Well at least know we have a different action.
 The young men are looking for an outboard motor outfit in which to go to | lacier Bay and will end their studies late in August.

MIRACLES TODAY
ARE COMMONPLACE

Miracles that have lived through Che
ages were performed when the saviour
made the blind to see and the crippled
to walk.
In San Francisco this week surgeon
restored sight to two persons by giving
them the eyes of a third who had dleu'
some peopIe undoubtedly discussed the
n,odern miracle over the breakfast table,
then forgot about il. Only in newspaper
files and medical journals will the ac'
complishment be remembered. People
are too used to miracles these days to
nav much more than passing attention
to them. A..
To those two in San Francisco, the
Rev. u. +. Harding of Portland, Ore,
and Arthur Morton, Sacramento pianist
if is miracle that will live IN their
minds as long as life remains III their
bodies. To them il is more than com
cidence that they see through the eyes
of a woman who died at the age OF 81
wears. murmuring in her last moments:
This is heaven-how beautiful! The
corneas of her eyes were grated two
days later to the sightless eyes OF the
Rev. Harding and Morton.
Not so many years ago the surgeon
who performed these delicate opera
tions would have been tortured and
burned as a sorcerer. The good people
of many communities would have brand
ed his skill as black magic, with never
a thought to the happiness he has
brought to two lives.
Today the things such a man does
are regarded as commonplace. Tomor-
row, perhaps, they will be given their
lust recognition, for certainly a man
who can restore sight is more valuable
to the world than a man who gains power
by bringing death to thousands.
Civilization will have taken its big
gest step when we honor those who de-
serve highest honor, and repudiate those
who live by the misery of others. We
shall be truly civilized only when our
heroes are the men who make the world
happier, not the ones who make it
shambles.

Alfalfa Bill" Murray has probably
made his last race for office. He has
been defeated before but it does not
seem at all probable that he will ever
seek the votes of his people again. Pres
ident of the constitutional convention
which wrote the constitution of Oklaho-
ma, Murray was speaker of the first
legislature Next he served two terms as
congressman-at-larg but lost out when
the state was redstricted. \ contender
for the governorship in 1916, he made
a whirlwind campaign of three weeks
and came out in second place with the
Democratic organization against him
While in Congress Murray put IN
much time in the congressional library,
adding to his tremendous fund of lntor-
nation on diverse subjects. After his
defeat in the race for governor he organ
lied colony and went to Bolivia, but
conditions in that country were not suit
ed to his purpose and he returned home
and in 1881 made a successful race for
the governorShip and served four years,
the period allotted by the constitution
for continuous service.
Murray opposed the Democrats in
the last national campaign and thus
alienated much of the support that he
once had, resulting in putting him at
the foot this month in a three-cOrnered
race for the nomination for the COVER
norship for another term. He will now
devote his time to writing more books
along economic lines, having already
published several of this nature.

WHY The PRIMARIES
ARE 50 IMPORTANT

Several times recently it has been
pointed out in this column that primary
election returns throughout the United
States do not give a true picture OF
national feeling for or against the New
Deal, for the simple reason that too
many local issues go to make up the
decisions of voters in many states. The
fact greatly tempers recent severe New
Deal defeats in such states as Texas and
Idaho, where some of the foremost of
President Roosevelt's "old friends suf
cred startling defeat.
We hold to the belief that in none of
these primaries was there any good indi-
cation of how the voters would ballot If
President Roosevelt himself were run
ming.
There is another phase of the primary
election test, however, which makes them
extremely important to the New Deal,
and which makes the defeats bitter
ones. 1t is found in the fact that the
New Deal needs added strength on the
floor of congress if it is to put over its
program between now and 1940-and it
is losing strength there instead of gain
ing it. In other words, the primaries
will determine whether the New Deal
legislative program will find clear sail
ing or stern opposition in congress next
year, and to date it seems the storm
clouds are gathering.
As to the 1910 elections, it is our be-
lief the story told then will be one that
cannot be read IN the elections this year

SPENDTHRIFT AMERICA
(Tulare Advance-Register)


America is rich. 1t will spend over
$500 a minute this fiscal year to create
Jobs, and it will take from its citizens
nearly five billion dollars in taxes to
help for those jobs.
America is spendthrift. Industry
alone will set aside between seven and
ten billion dollars during the next twelve
months for wages, yet large fraction
of that sum will be lost by wage-earners
America is a record-breaker-in good
ways and bad. Last year we broke our
own, and every other nations records, IN
the number and costliness of our labor
disputes-4017 strikes, involving approx
imately 100000 workers, resulting in
a loss of some 80 million squandered
days on which no work was done in a
period when millions of jobless clamor-
ed for work.
America is builder. Out of last years
economic waste and the tragedy of its
industrial conflicts will come, we firmly
believe, the lessons, the hard-earned eX-
perience, on which to construct the
machinery to treat such conflicts, the
necessary laws to ameliorate such strife,
and the spirit of fair play to make them
work
