ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION, ENCOURAGING INTEREST IN HISTORY In England they are ornamenting the roads that are being built throughout that country by placing statues and merorials of one kind or another along the roadsides and by planting trees and flowers on the right-of-way. Busts in marble or granite or bronze of great men who had lived in or been prominently identified with the vicinity are placed in appropriate places in valleys or on hills along the road, or a seat made from enduring marble or granite, or oblisk or other appropriate memorial, 2y be substituted for the bust or statue. In this way Lloyd George on a Welsh road, Mrs. Ramsay MacDonald in Scotland, Premier Baldwin, and many officers of the army and navy who were in the World War, not to mention the great of the past, have been honored. The custom is worthy of emulation. It ought to be followed in the United States. Statues of Boone and Kenton and Calloway and others ought to ornament roads from Virginia into Kentucky and memories of Sevier and Robertson and Jackson and kindred spirits ought to be revived by similar dis- plays along roads from the Carolinas to Tennessee. The long plains roads ought to perpetuate mem- ories of Fremont and Pike and Carson and Bridger and the others who marked their courses before surveyors had crossed the Missouri. There ought to be roadside statues of Miles and Crook and Custer and Lawton and Scott and other army officers. ‘The Franciscan brothers ought to be remembered by memorials along the California, Arizona and New Mexico roads. The 49ers and early Mormons ought to come in for recognition. Friends of Missouri ought to see that the gentlemen “all the way from Pike” are honored. Early pioneer settlers and heroes ought to be remembered in their respective locali- ties. All the roads ought to carry on the story of the statesmen whose wisdom and courage crowded the Western Border ever westward. Monuments of Jefferson, the Clarks and Lewis, ought to be every- where, and with them should stand those of Benton and Cass and Lane and Lynn and Broderick and Baker and the others. In addition to hundreds or thousands that have special cause for recognition in specific sections of the country we have the whole galaxy of those who laid the foundations and built the. United States: the Washingtons, Jeffersons, Franklins, Hamiltons, Madison, Marshalls, Adamses, the Clays, Websters, Van Burens and Calhouns, the Lincolns, Douglases and Sewards, the Whitneys, Howes and McCormicks, the Morses, Bells and Edisons, the Fultons, Fords and ‘Wrights, and so on, world without end, whose works should be kept green in the memories of those who use our roads and travel about the country that their patriotism, genius and industry made great. Between and about these monuments and mem- orials of one kind or another there should be planted trees and flowers that would cannote the beauty and culture that have followed the courageous marches and brave battles that made way for them. We ought not to permit England to beat us in such a worthy way to encourage interest in history. TRINITY RECTOR ON CHURCHES IN POLITICS. Some very sound advice was given to the Pro- testant Episcopal Church the other day by Rev. Dr. Caleb R. Stetson, Rector of Trinity Church, Broad- way, New York. The churches should keep out of politics and the place of clergymen is not in the lobbies of Congress, he declared. The churches have & clear duty to express their opinions and point out evils, and to speak of what they know to be right; but to engage in political activify is quite another thing and “there will eventually be reaction, and with it must come the conviction that the church has lost in spiritual influence as it has gained in civil power.” Continuing along this line he declared: Let the Church as a Church keep out of politics. The place of the clergy is not in the lobbies of Congress, nor is it their business to stir up party strife or to further which Dr. Stetson 1s a communicant and worker, it has traditionally recognized the separation of State from Church, and approved of it. His words could with much more propriety have been addressed |to some of the other religious organizations that maintain powerful and well financed lobbies in the very shadow of the halls of Congress and whose Washington representatives boast of having influ- ence member of that body to vote as the church | dictated. At that all the witnesses, including the Prohi {agents, testified under oath that they had enjoyed themselves immensely in those New York night clubs that were being prosecuted. Some of the Prohi stool pidgeons admitted that they were very fond of the pretty hostesses. | Americans country except their own.

(New York World.) | When Wisconsin voted wet on April 2 the dry leaders of the State insisted that the referendum was merely an empty gesture which would be ignored by the Legislature. “The Legislature will never pass a repealer bill,” said the Rev. Warren G. Jones, State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. But Dr. Jones was wrong. On Wednesday the State Senate adopted a repealer bill by a vote of 21 to 9. The same measure had already been approved in the State Assembly by a vote of 56 to 33 and now goes to the Governor for action. Assuming that Gov. Kohler signs this bill, [he has signed it] there will be five States which have declined their opportunity to co-operate with the Federal Government in the enforcement of prohibi- tion. These States are Wisconsin, Montana, Nevada, New York and Maryland. This is a small bloc of States in a Union of forty-eight; but it contains one-seventh of the population of the country, and there are good reasons to believe that other States will be added to it before much time has passed. For the drift of popular sentiment, as measured by State referendums, is unmistakably. against prohibi- tion. Since November, 1926, the people of ten States have been .permitted to vote on some phase of the question of modification or enforcement. In four of these States the drys have won by exceedingly nar- row margins: in Missouri by a vote of 4 to 3, in Colorado by a vote of 5 to 4, in California by a vote of 10 to 9, in North Dakota by a vote of 15 to 14. In the other six States—Nevada, Montana, Wiscon- sin, Massachusetts, Illinois and New York—the wets have won, top-heavy victories, sometimes by a result as one-sided as the 3-to-1 vote in New York in 1926, It is significant that these six States which have voted wet are not quartered in one section of the country but scattered from New England to the Rockies. The Right Sort of Memorial. (Manchester Guardian.) It is a happy thought that has led the Roads Beautifying Association to empanel an advisory com- mittee of sculptors and architects who can help in the choice of material and design for roadside memorials. With Lord Edward Gleichen as Chair- man and Sir Willilam Gascombe John, Mr. Guy Dawber, and Mr. Reynolds-Stephens as members the committee will speak with unguestioned authority. It is to be hoped that its services will often be called upon. There is no more suitable way in which a well-loved name can be perpetuated than by adding to the face of England some object of beauty that the wayfaring man can both admire and profit by. It is the realization of this that has led to the admirable movement for planting “trees of remembrance” on the margins of those arid furrows of tarmac that must increasingly scar the, face of the countryside. But trees are one only of many gracious means of adding amenity to the roads and at the same time commemorating the dead. The drinking fountain, the bird bath, the sculptured seat fashioned of local stone by the wayside give joy to the traveler and beauty to-the highway. One remembers among the happiest es- says of this sort that porch with a seat in the shade for the weary that.commemorates Joseph Conrad in the village where so many of his years were passed, or the graceful sculptured seat iil Lincoln's Inn Fields that is dedicated to the memory of the late Mrs. Ramsay MacDonald. Memorials such as these, adding helpfulness to beauty, make an appeal that is lasking in storied urn and ani- mated bust. Edward Payson Weston. . (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Another of the Titan peripatetics has died. Ed- ward Payson Weston, mighty cross-continent walker, for a large number of his ninety years conspicuously was in the public eye as one of America’s great athletes—one of its greatest walkers, But the great Weston was not invincible. His notable rival and competitor, John Innis, vanquished Weston’s best from sea-to-sea record, and that in- genuous and lovable Irishman, Dan O'Leary, defeated Mr. Weston in 1875, in Chicago, in a six-day race, doing 508 miles to Weston's 4511, Each of these men walked into health and length of years. Each enjoyed a splendid physical life. Only O'Leary, the debonair and mercurial, is left, and it is altogether likely that the sprightly Datn ‘{et may walk to his own funeral, as he might put it. These virile men demonstrated, perhaps, more fully and completely than any other men in the world the value of the exercise of walking. Neither Innis nor Weston would walk on Sun- day. But blithe Dan O'Leary would walk any time, and place, where opportunity presented itself. The three of them were an inspiration to the youth of the country. They assuredly did not live in vain. It has been a pretty good axiom all the way up from savagery that “the fewer the clothes the party interests. We believe in a free Church in a free State, not in a State coerced and governed by the Church. We, as a Church, should be very careful about any formal association with combina- tions of churches or denominations whose purpose it is to influence, by direct action, or by ordinary political pressure, the course of legislation or the action of governments. We have a right to express our minds about policies and customs, virtues as well as vices. It is quite another matter for the Church or for its representatives to attempt to dic- tate the course governments should pursue or to compel the passage of laws by political pressure. The results of such action by the Church has, in the past, been disastrous to the Church’'s spiritual influence. I am cer- tain that history will repeat itself in this country, and it is well for us in the Episco- Church to follow the course which it ollowed so far. ¢ it be said to the credit of the church in . pal has Let better the morals.” Holy calamity-howlers please copy.—(Cincinnati Enquirere.) —— o What makes the average citizen of moderate bibulous tendecies 50 mad is the fact the men the Government hires to get evidence can have such a good time on his money.—(Philadelphia Inquirer.) — The latest work for the honor and glory of the Aunty League is the effort to ruin American pas- senger shipping on the Atlantic.—(Cincinnati En- Quirer.)

Another great mystery is how they ever came to coin that word rubberneck so long before there was any real excuse for a man being one. Most wives see to it that their qusbands never suffer from indi- gestion as a result of being fed ‘00 much applesauce. A man is so unreasonable by na- ture that he can love. a woman who'll press his pants and keep the buttons on his clothes more than he can one who is elected President of the Woman's Club and brings home more bridge prizes than any other woman in town. About the only thrill a lot of modern young folks are going to have left to look forward to is find- ing out how it feels to actually do something of which their parents pprove. A man likes to have a woman make a lot over him, but it always is an insult to his ego for her to get the notion that by making him . over she can improve him. The wife of a poor, but liberal, man always decides that, after all there are bigger disappointments than the one she married after she has listened to the wife of a rich and stingy one spill some of herl grief. The old-fashioned woman who used to wonder how the children would turn out now has‘'a daughter who wonders how the divorce suit will. e i 1 Means MORE HEAT per Ton.
