WALSTEIN G. SMITH-FIRST
 TREASURER OF ALASKA

Walstein G. Smith is dead. He passed away { few days ago. Though death is always shock thos' who knew him and admired him most sighed witt relief at his passing for his body had been wracked with pain for many years
 Mr. Smith became identified with the affairs Of Alaska in the summer of 1913 when Governor Strong selected him as the Territorys first treasurer, the office having been created few months before at the first session of legislature Prior to this time he was the manager of the Bank of Katala in the then newly discovered oil fields in the Bering River sec ton of the Territory. As the first treasurer 1t fell uopn him to establish and organize the fiscal system of Alaska piece of work he performed admirably and which has remained in effect ever since.
 He continued to discharge the duties of that office until 1885 when he became cepresident of the First National Bank at Juneau, With his passing the Ter ritory loses another of its finest eary settlers and administrators.
 His outstanding. qualities were independence of thought soundness of judgment and absolute integrity He was fearless in the performance of his duties; Firm though considerate he devoted himself singuarly and whoeheartedlysto the discharge of the requre- ments of the office to which the people elected him term after term In doing so he had but one object in view to comply strictly with existing law and give fair and impartial treatment to all who had business with him.
 Walstein Smith was not mixer in the accepted meaning of the world. His opinions were his own yet those who came in contact with him knew that they were honestly arrived at and free Of bias or preJuoce He had high regard for principles and Ideals m ms official as well in his private life; enjoyed the esteem and good will of the people and set spenoo xaune for the emulation of fellow officials He was
 faithful pubc servant who will long be remembered for his independence and loyalty to the Territory.

Two Wyoming Senators

There's an interesting contrast between the two senators from Wyoming, both able, conscientious men.
 Sen. Lester Hunt, former gover- nor of the state and recently cleo ted to the Senate, has just intro duced a resolution to abolish con- gressional immunity from libel suits when a member of Congress makes defamatory and untrue statements
 The founding fathers, Senator Hunt indicates, never meant Con- gress to be a sounding board for such smears as Mccarthy of Wis consin and Schoeppel of Kansas have put across. Both senators have been challenged to repeat their libels off the floor of Con- gress and this columnist offered tc pay McCarthy's legal expenses ir case he was sued. Neither accepted the challenge.
 So newly elected Senator Hunt proposes to rectify this.
 On the other hand, Senator o. Mahoney. also of Wyoming and il the Senate for IT years, has beer presiding over a committee exam ming Senator Schoeppel's attempt ed Red smear of Secretary of tht Interior Chapman And O'Mahoney has become so steeped in the sen atorial idea that fellow senator should be permitted to talk indef' initely that he has let the Schoep- pei hearings become filibuster il which Schoeppel, with no facts anc no proof, continues to talk for tht purpose of saving face.
 Under the American system g man is innocent until proven guilty yet Senator OMahoney is so an xious to be fair to his colleague

 vigorously opposed to the appoint ment of an American.
 Reason for their lack of enthus-

 to the United States to supply tho troops for him to command. Ii there is French or British sup reme commander, on the other

 Original thesis of the North Al ' lantic Pact was that Europe woult supply the men, the United State the weapons. However, it hash urged the British to increase thei armed forces, only to be remindet that Britain has had Uniyersa Military Training while the Unite, States doesn't.
 The French also have been urge to increase their army; but tn

 Most important factor, however is that Europe just doesn't wan to be another battle-ground, woul almost rather capitulate to Russi than be bombed out again. To prove therefore that the Uni ted States does not intend to le Europe do all the fighting, Pres : ident Truman and the Nations Security Council have decided t appoint an American as suprem } Commander regardless of the Join

another question to be decided by the U. N. was "who owns For mosa?" The Secretary of State pointed out that while both the Chinese Nationalists and Commit nists claim Formosa for China, the important thing was to keep the islandl neutral" in the conflict with Russia.
 Since any decision should take into account the sentiment of the Formosan people themselves, Ache son reported, the U. N. may decide to hold plebiscite in Formosa before determining it's future status.

hard.
There are no rules governing
the selection of lamps as a gift,
but there are certain principles
to consider in making a good
choice. While there is a wide
selection Of lamps for the femin-
inc taste, it is often difficult to-
find a lamp for the man or boy.
There are several excellent
lines on the market, however,
where the designer has taken the
masculine taste into considera.
ton. Few men have the interest
or time to devote to the selection
of a suitable office lamp, and a
gift OF this type would be useful
and unexpected. An old duck de-
coy for a den, a carefullycarved
thoroughbred horse, or an old
book press for a library might
help fill the bill for the man who
"has everything"
For the traditional room, with
it's furnishings of cleaning wal
nut or mahogany in the manner
of Chippendale, Sheraton or Hep
pleWhite, there is a variety OF
fine reproductions of antique
pieces in wood, glass and metal
which at once convert a ouse
into a home.
The height and color of the
lamp, the texture of the mater
ials which are used, are all mea-
sured considerations in its selec-
ton.
For those whose taste runs in
a contemporary channel, there
are intriguing mobiles, simple,
freeform ceramics, metal lamps
that are simply source of light
that could not offend the most
ascetic.
AS important as the lamp it. :
self is it's shading. Shades should
be simple and only compliment
the base, and not overshadoW 1t
by a mass of meaningless detail.
The drum type seems today to
be the most practical thing along
this line. There are many excell-
ent materials on the market
beautiful fabrics from fine silks
to handwoven textured mater
ials, beautiful plastic in textures
and colors, gold and silver leaf
handprinted papers from all
parts of the world.
