THE ENGLISH ELECTION. Dr. William Thomas Morgan, Professor of Euro- pean History at the University of Indiana, who has been observing the political situation in Great Bri- tain, writes in an article for the New York World that in all probability no party will gain a majority in the coming British election. He sees a strong possibility of a Labor-Liberal coalition Government with Lloyd George as Premier. erals will not again put a Labor Party in power on any other basis than a coalition. How long a Labor-Liberal coalition would last is problematical. It would depend upon how fast might grow the present tendency toward liberalism. Fundamentally there is little in common between the Laborites and Liberals. The Labor Party is outspokenly—almost blatantly—a class organization. The Liberal Party is further from that even than the Conservatives. Practically, the Liberals and Laborites are not so far apart. Both are free trade and both are opposed to the tightness of Con- servative policies. However, with the drift in Eng- land as elsewhere away from Socialism, there has been a decided trend among Laborites toward Lib- He thinks the Lib-| those in the wild state. The fur farmer must have a knowledge of his stock and be familiar with ani- mal temperament, feeding. breeding, and manage- ment. He must also be acquainted with measures | necessary to prevent and cure their diseases. It is not wise to begin fur farming with a large number of animals. Many who have done so, or |who have expanded their undertaking too rapidly -‘hs.\'n failed. It is better to start with a few pairs of animals and gradually increase the number as one's knowledge of care and management enlarges. Among the animals that have been kept in cap- tivity and studied to determine the feasibility of producing fur profitably are foxes, fishers, martens, minks, otters, skunks, racoons, opossums, beavers, muskrats, and rabbits. | | Chairman Raskob announced the first of May Ithat the Democratic National Committee debt which |was $1,600,000 at the end of the recent campaign had been cut to $750,000 and that $300,000 more will soon be cared for. The contributions have come from many thousands of people located in all sec- tions of the country. There should be no end to Juneau’s clean up campaign as long as there is anything in the town that needs cleaning. Juneau ought to be spic and span at the earliest possible date and it ought o |be continued in that condition until the end. Those Canadian blizzards ought to dispose of those forest fires. Blizzards and forest fires do not usually work at the same time at the same place. Pioneers in Alaska. (Chicago Tribune.) Parker D. Cramer, the young Rockford, Il aviator who ventured a flight to Stockholm last summer, has returned to Chicago after a success- |y pon. vou make a success of your | ful air trip from Alaska across Bering Strait to! Siberia. This was an experimental voyage to con- firm Cramer’s notion that the proper airplane route to China is by way of Alaska. Some day he hopes that a commercial aviation service may be started between Chicago and China over this trail. Espec- ially interesting were Cramer’s observations of the enthusiasm for flying in Alaska. | The somewhat disappointing record of Alaska 'has been credited to the paternalism of Washing- |ton, just as French and Spanish possessions have isuffered from regulations conceived in the abstract at Paris and Madrid. Ambition has not been pro- moted among the Alaskans and little inducement is offered to imaginative settlers.

How about its public schools, present and future? 2—Will my family and I have a reasonable chance to keep well in this town? How about its water supply and its system of milk inspection? Its sanitary system? 3—Will I like the town? Does it have shaded streets, is it a quiet, roomy, airy town? Is its moral tone good? 4—Shall T know and like the people of the town? Are they “home” folks without false exclusiveness? 5—Can we have a good time in that town? Are the ‘rinodex:,n comforts and convenience available for its resi- ents ? 5 6—Can we live reasonably and well in the town? What are the housing and shopping conditions? T—Is the town easily accessible to the outside world? 8—Can I make good use of money investment oppor- tunities in that town? How are its banking facilities and does it have prosperous stores, favorable labor con- ditions ? 9—Can I get a job in that town?
