SIRCUT-ATION GUARANTEED TO BE MORE THAN

STOCK RAISING TEST OF IMPORTANCE.
The forthcoming experiment in wintering live
stock in the Strawberry Point district will he yatelicd
with deep interest iby the people of Juneau in par
ticular and by all of the Panhandle of Alaska in
general. If it proves successful there, undoubtedly
other areas will be found for stocking and t,h,e in
dustry will grow to material size and become aw
important factor in the district’s prosperity. Loculi*
little fear is felt that the test will prove disttft;
pointing to its makers. The farmers who ha*c been
living at Strawberry Point for the past several years
have already demonstrated their ability to grow stock
and carry them through the winter without excessive
feed corts. That the same thing can be done on* qr
large scale seems certain.
The Chamber of Commerce, which took the lead
in bringing this district to the attention of the
stockmen, has again proven that it is a live or
ganization and making file most of its opportunities.
It is getLting results all the time and merits tlie
ccrdial support it is receiving from the town in
general.
ON THE HOME LAP.
■ When Lieut. Smith and his comrades take the
air next week from Brough, England, they will be
on the last lap of their pioneering voyage on the
air lanes ’round the world. Already they have cov
ered more than two-thirds of their hazardous journey.
Ordinarily air travel today Is not considered venture
some. Maughan recently raced the sun uerohB the
continent In a dawn-to-dark flight and now predicts
e. time when the aerial voyager will eat his break
fast In New York and dine In the Golden Gat ' Ofty.
Day and night mail planes carry Uncle Sam’s mails
daily 'between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans
elope. Here in the Ear North winter flights under
the most severe weather conditions have been proven
not only possible but practicable. * Regular passenger
service is maintained out or Fairbanks to poiuts
in a wide radius und only the other day a commei
tial (light was made from Anchorage to Fairbanks,
the first time the route was ever covered by an
airplane. So, after pit, the air routes are becoming
tem monplacc.
But this round-the-world voyage is different.
Three American machines and their six young occu
pants are blazing a trail that belts the globe, point
ing the way to future commercial undertakings. In
the latter will be used many machines and hundred!
of flyers, mechanicians, and other helpers. But in
•the path finding flight the same planes, except for
engines and replacements, tho same personnel, except
Muj. Martin and Sergt. Harvey, have made the entire
flight to date and expect to complete it successfully.
1 hey have braved Alaska's worst weather, ifesert
storms, ocean fogs and mountain blasts. Ahead of
them lies Iceland and Greenland, not tlie best flying
country in the world but not as bad as they lisye
seen and conquered Then the hop across the Atlantic
from Greenland to Newfoundland. This stage vies
as a spectacular flight with the Alaska-Japan leg
but It is hardly as difficult. American warships will
lino the route and weather reports will be available
lor th^r-whole course. Barring unforeseen and un
provenfable mishap*—acts or Providence one might
say,—success is apparently within the grasp of the
daring aviators.
TAMMANY'S NEW LEADER.
Judge George \V. Olvany, recently chosen to nil
the seat of the lute Charles F. Murphy, is u native
born Naw Yorker of direct Irish descent and 4 8
years of age. His birthday falls on the same datp
as that or the former Tammany chieftain but he Is
18 years younger than Murphy was. He has served
a thorough apprenticeship in New York City politics
Graduated front the Now York University Law Sohotl
In 1897 he soon entered the Corporation Counsel’s
office In an obscure position. He later was elee'ed
Alderman from the Fifth District. Under Mayor
Gaynor’s administration, ho was appointed a Deputy
Hre Commissioner in which capacity he presided
over trials. When AT Smith was Sheriff, he picked
Olvany as his counsel and the latter remained counsel
to Sheriffs David ill. Knott and Percy Najtle. Ten
years ago he was picked as leader of the old 25th
Assembly District and continued as leader of the
lower Tenth District after the city districts were
re-arranged. Ho resigned that position when Gov
Smith appointed him to the General Sessions bench
asl January. He has been Chairman of Tammany’s
law committee for the past five years and has had
a part in every election contest involving a Tammany’
man during that period.
, VO?,.!8 the fifUl hea<1 o1 Tammany since the days
of William M. Tweed in 1867. His predecessors [n
office were ’Honest John” Kelly, Richard Croker and
Charles F. Murphy*. For a short time following
"Hoes” CrokeFs retirement in 1902, Lewis Nixon
aided by CrokeFs Influence ruled the Hall He was
soon replaced by a triumvirate composed of Murphy
Daniel F. McMahon and Ixtuis F. Heffen and by
September. 1902, Murphy had gathered the reJns
of control Into his own hands never to be sur
rendered nor seriously questioned until his recent
death. Under his leadership Tammany's Influence
Vaxed greater and the Hall stood higher with the
ipcpulace than at any period in Its history, and
•with that of the Democratic party extended in the
State to a new high level.
The fifth leader of the ;Hall is described as a
fine, upstanding figure of a man, six feet, two inches
in heiglith. He Is less reticent than was Chief Mur
phy but knows when to eay no. He is a first rate
lawyer, better equipped with education than his im
mediate predecessor and looks like a real fighter. He
is not a well-to-do man and. Is said tp care little
for money. Ho has announced he will retire from
the bench as soon as possible and resume the prac
tice of law. It is predicted he will be able to main
tain Tammany's position In the city and successfully
crush any attempts to apllt the organization. He
is credited with having the support of Gov. Smith.
In accepting the leadership, Mr. Olvany said he
would carry on the work so successfully performed
by Mr. Murphy for 22 years. He pledged his loyalty
| to the party and the county organization, adding:
"I believe in Democracy and the Democratic organi
! /ation, and 1 shall do my part to continue our
I Democracy along progressive lines. Our first great
public duty will be to roll up a great vote for
cur national ticket.”

Our War Debt,
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
The Treasury Department is reported to be con
sidering plans for the payment of our entire war
i debt within a period of about 30 years—that is, a3
j sum)ug freedom from further wars or abnormally
larjfe and unexpected expenditures for other purposes
in the meantime. It would be easy to be deceived
j into thinking such a course commendable. As the
r.chest nation in the world, we could set a world's
iMCOrd in debt payment, but apart from thal distinc
11fotiJ it would not be an advantage. A national debt
i is.not an evil in itself. On the contrary, it is * I
[mljni of spreading the cost of great national under-1
.ski ugs over an extended period and not placing too]
' much of their burden upon any one or two genera
tions. Economy in governmental expenditures is vast
ly more important than rapid reduction of the na
tional debt There should be a sinking fund to sup
, plement payments received from foreign countries on
i account of their debts to us, but that fund should
i he reasonable, particularly during the next few years,
, or tlie period of reconstruction. The war caused1
.( great dislocation of business and the industries, and
■ chough some contrived to make enormous profits the
jgitat majority had to endure considerable sacrifices.
Dirt In any case the taxpayer’s load should be made
light ae possible until our affairs are back on a
: sonnet and prosperous basis. It will pay the nation
to keep its repayment low until we shall have de
! veloped the prosperity that even with lower taxes
will .give us a greater national revenue. We are not
in the position of those countries that are suffering
.in credit because of their enormous debts. Though
our debt is .higher than at any pre-war period, our
! credit Is the soundest in the world. The dollar is the
world’s standard and from It taper down all other
Currencies. In the course of ,a few years we can
repay at a great rate and not feel the burden, but
it would not bo wise to continue debt reduction at
the pace of the past five years. In 1919 the national
debt stood at $26,596,701,648; on June 30 of this year
It was down to $21,250,812,989, or a decrease of
$5,345,888,659. The greater part of that reduction
was cared for by mean of economy In public ex
. pc milt u re, but it would have been wiser to have em
5 ployed more of such economy to relief of the people
(In (tie form of reduced taxation. Every dollar paid
Icff the national debt moans reduction of the na
tional interest burden, but there ure times when !i
is wiser to carry the debt and use the money as
Capita! for private investment in the industries. To
say that money is plentiful and that this is a good
time for paying off the national debt is to overlook
| the fact that the greatest burden upon business today
is excessive taxation, and that If that burden were
I reduced there would be more business, more taxable
| capital and, ultimately, greater national revenue.
The Goal of Men.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
! livery man works toward some goal. Individual
initiative is the mainspring of human progress. In
’the landed Utopias, the Communistic Edens, proposed
by dreaming, or demented, social reformers, all men
are classed according to a cortain pattern. The com
munity, the state, the council becomes the parental
1 guide and director of all energy and effort. These
, nerveless schemes decry Individual aspiration and
I ambition. They would reduce the social order to an
artificial mechanism in which the Individual becomes
; a colorless clement in the crucible of life.
To illustrate: In our present system men struggle
land strive all their days to attain to the goal of
1 t1u,ir dreams. The humblest may aspire to and win
to the loftiest pinnacles of supereminency in art in
dustry. business, politics. legitimate reward invites
to employment of htuin and physical energy T'te
man who dreams worthy dreams, who works hard
| and persists, has the chance to gain his heart's de
isiro—a home, high position, the guerdon of success
Mn any Held. And strong men do win these tiling,,
land they deserve tlieir enjoyment when won. Any
jiTje which halts ability, efficiency, genius, asplra
drtil, ambition, individual initiative, holding all men
1 t0 ,,le lc,y-el '■,l' idle, the inefficient, the incapable
! is a rule defiant or the laws of existence ami
i progress.
! ,,’or Instance, it is pointed out that of fh“
I twenty railroad executives, representing about one
half, the entire mileage of the United States, two
started as telegraph operators; two were track labor
ers, four messengers, nine in the engineering dl
i vlspn, ono a brakeman, one a clerk and one a
drnltsman. beading the great opposing political forces
<>r the nation are two men who, through labor and
persistence, have risen to their positions of eminent
distinction from the ranks of poverty and obscurity
And so on and on.
... Bl!lt tho cry of lhe de*nagogue is in our ears.
He should have government ownership of the rail
1 roods and all public utilities; we must change the
| term of our political system; we must transmute indi
vidual effort and individual aspiration into some lotus
dream that will put society’s creepers at a parity
with its genius, its constructive forces!
There is hut one way, and It is the way marked
out by those who long ago learned that humanity’s
only desirable goals are to he won through work
and persistence, by those worthy to enjoy their
bleti&iugH.

It's a Great Life
There are two classes of people
in the country today, those who
•thing of vacation with pleasure, and
those who don't. The people who
belong to the first class are those
who have not taken theirs yet.
More Or Less True
We suppose one of the things
that surprises a girl who has prom
ised to be a sister to him Is how
seldom a brother ever kisses a sis
ter.
The ideal wife Is one who can
make her husband enjoy being boss
ed by her.
We suppose the next kick we
will be hearing from the ladies
will be that the rude men refuse
to give up their sent In the barber
shop when a lady comes In.
Of course It is too bad the bill
boards hide so much of the »scenery,
but you don’t notice it unless you
are too old to devote your atention
to the scenery on the seat with you.
If we were to set out to find a
“good fellow” we believe the front
seat of a church would be the last
place we'd look for him.
What with the bills for hats, bobs
and waves It’s no wonder so many
men are over their heads in debt.
There would be a remarkable de
crease In the number of divorces
if lovers wouldn’tv learn to act so
blame "sensible” after they settle
down to married life.
A beautiful character Is one thing
that can’t be painted on.
Why Is It when a wife Is away
•n a vacation and needs money she
always asks him to send It but
never suggests he bring It?
We guess we have been all wrong
and there must be more modest
girls than we supposed or the stores
would not bother about handling
these shadow-proof skirts.
We imagine no woman ever gets
so old she doesn't think It neces
sary to have a mirror around the
house.
It's the head of the house that
wears the bob.
