Preside Roc beset the nation. His latest s adds unemployment relief to e notable already embraced in the program submitted and partly acted on by Congress. Here, too, he calls for action. It is not some- thing vague and indefinite that he has in mind He asks for specific authority to enrol workers for definite projects in some instances; for grants to individual States for relief work; and a broad public works and labor creating program. This is something that the people of the nation can understand. Hungry men and women, too long advised to depend upon private largess which was months ago overwheimed with the magnitude of the set for it, can view it with renewed hope. Nor ly that this hope will be long deferred. ' President Roosevelt is it “Immed action is necessary advised Congress. His leadership already has ob- tained Dp: ge of laws around which legislative battles raged for months recently.

The French Government purchased it.

It will be on ex- | hibition for a brief time in New York, for a short [time in California, then for a more extended exhibi- tion at the World's Fair at Chicago. This “Arrangement in Gray and Black” is now |well enough appreciated in the United States, for copies and imprints of every degree grace the walls |of innumerable American homes, telling the tender- est, most beautiful story in the world—the story of | Mother. |and I Word and Act. | [ i/ (Boston News Bureau.) A speech and a proclamation—they gave, almost simultaneously, pledge and then performance of tion” in abundance. The nation accepts, even welcomes, such extraordinary steps; old laws and |customs “are silent amid arms.” For this is virtual war,—once again in defense. The President goes back to a wartime statute, made to it today’s terms of gold and currency. The |response to an appeal given in Commander-in-Chief |tones is without taint of partisanship. Mr. Hoover {and Mrs. Coolidge, for example, in their urging of |complete support for the new President voice the present feelings of myriads, however these myriads |voted on November 8. | Possibly there is a further historical analogy with }Lhc wartime. Apparently we were not ‘“ready” \psychologically and nationally for conflict until the itorpedoings made us so finally in 1917. So now it iis our clearly demonstrated close verging on catas- |trophe that bids us unite again in the same spirit which bought Libertys and in a cheerful loyalty went without meat, sugar, wheat, heat, light, etec. As Mr. Roosevelt said briefly over the radio Sunday night, it is the 1917 sacrifice spirit over again. | President Roosevelt has of course his further warrant which did not exist before—his huge Novem- ber majority and the great party dominance of the ‘new Congress he has called for Thursday. His lnudarious leadership should whip that body to |compliant action, just as it should a little later by Percival SYNOPSIS: Pest One of the Foreign Legion in the Me- kazzen territory is being re- lieved. Under Major Riccoli it will march to the -citadel of the Kaid of Menkazzen, os- tensibly escorting Riccoli there for a parley with the Kaid. Ricolli, a long record of treach- ery behind, plans to betray France t the Kaid and having gotten his legionnaires into the citadel under pretense of join- ing, with the Kaid, against France, plans further to mur- der the Kaid, seize the citadel for himself, and to become the Sultan Riccoli. Riccoli fears only the English in his command led by Otho Belleme, and their French pals, “Tant de Scif and Pere Poussin.” CHAPTER 12, THE LEGION MARCHES Having sounded their call in the center of the post, the buglers marched to the gate and again sounded the ‘“assembly,” outside the post. They then marched right round the walls, sounding VALIANT DusT Christopher Wren -:ifé‘gé{m- !.w-:-:lcd along?” asked Joe Mum- mery. “Have you seen no cloud of dust on the horizon every now and then, and from almost every direction?” | ed Tant de Soif. “Haven't you | seen suspicious-looking riders, in twos and threes, suddenly appear above a sand-dune and quickly dis- appear?

It has heen, however, the yigorous leadership of the President that has set the pace for Congress. A less forceful leader, one who feared to act de- cisively and even abruptly as the occasion arose, would have met with indifferent and divided support in Congress. Mr. Roosevelt's own energetic actions have set the plich which the national lawmakers have caught up and maintained in the drive for the program thal he promised the country and upon the strength of which he was elected President by the greatest electoral and one of the greatest popular majorities in history. SUPT. KETTLESON POINTS TO NEED. In his biennial report to the Board of Trustees of the Pioneers’ Home and just transmitted to it by Gov. Parks as Chairman, Supt. Kettleson points out a regrettable condition that ought to be possible | of some remedy without serious cost to the Territory. | This is found in a single paragraph in his report, as follows: Up to the beginning of this biennium all applicants to the Home, who, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, should be admitted, had been cared for at the Home. But early in 1931, more applications were received than could be cared for owing to the limited amount of room, and since then more applications having been accumulating until there are over thirty applicants wait- ing to enter the Home when there is vacancy. Of course, the Board of Trustees is powerless on| its own motion to do anything to relieve the situa- tion. Its duties are definitely fixed by law. The Legislature, however, has the power to give the Board su ent leeway to find a place somewhere for these aged men who have turned to the Terri- tory in vain for the help they need as they enter the shadows near the end of the road. Supt. Kettleson'’s report shows that it cost about $36.50 per month last year to care for each inmate of the Home, including medical and dental treat- ment. If not for that sum, by adding a few more dollars, it is likely that the Board could find some place in the Territory where those more than “thirty applicants waiting to enter the Home when there is vacancy” be looked after. At least the Legislature could authorize it to make the| effort. z can BEER N 15 DA Alaskans can have legal beer and wine in 15 days, providing, of course, the manufacturers and dealers can arrange to put it on the market in that short space of time. It has been more than 16 years sihce beverages of this nature could be legally purveyed to Alaskans. Those of us who enjoyed them prior to the arid days of the Alaska Bone Dry Law may have lost our taste for them, and, together with those who never knew what whole- some, healthy beer and clear, sparkling wines were, ‘of both that have come into all too common use the decade and-a ‘half just past. Be that as it may, the people of Alaska can |currency, and to provide for re-deposits. Congress thus supplies the proximate step in the program. i That final drive will be against what the Presi- {dent termed “fear” and, alas, those who have yielded to it. It may be little use scolding now their miser-coward complex in so abusing what lused to be their legal right so to hide away their own property as to hurt their neighbors and them- selves. They may perhaps now listen to the invoca=- tion of a wartime statute. Far better their voluntary response to the old wartime appeal to loyal spirit. “The Scheme of Things.” (New York Times.) | Contemplating the present state of the world, 'many are ready to say with Omar Khayyam in the FitzGerald rendering that if they could with Him conspire To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire, they would “shatter it to bits” and Remold it nearer to the Heart's desire. Dr. David Eugene Smith has made another version which follows more closely a literal translation: Had I been Lord of Cosmos, Maker of the World, mundane blotted out And in its place I would have made another world ‘Where happiness held sway and sorrow was forgot. But whatever poets may dream, philosophers warn us to beware of such shattering and remolding plans for universal happiness. Professor Frederick Woodbridge of Columbia, in a recent discussion of The sphere itself I would have ]Ulopias, expressed the hope that “they may remain Nowhere”; for with complete regimentation civiliza- tion would “disappear altogether.” Bees and ants have a regimented world, their entire existence seeming to be exhausted “in the repetition of the same pattern generation after generation.” It is amazing that anybody should think that such a plan could be made to work for human beings. Plato confessed that in his Utopia “the regimenters would have to tell regimented lies” of a kind to lead the people to submit. Regimentation may be necessary in time of war, but is not a permanent “peace pattern.” Schemes to make civilization automatic or com- pulsory “seem to be schemes which the Scheme of Things does not favor.” It does favor social orders which recognize that “moral responsibility, frankly acknowledged and deliberately acted upon, is the great means of making civilization secure.” Even if the economic problems were solved through control of production and consumption, the desired results do not hold out promise of ease, happiness and leisure. Professor Wobdbridge's prayer is not for a Utopia or for a rigid plan, but that we may keep the chance to live and through neighborly giving and taking, through the acceptance of moral responsibility, through the devoted cherishing of literature, science, art and religion discover what is the desire of the heart. Inflation to help minority debtors, by ruining the money everybody uses, is like amputating a leg to cure a sore toe—(Washington Post.)

How long ago it seemed to the over-strained, heat-stricken men, since the detachment of Senegalese infantry arrived at the post and took over charge; how long their own bugles blew the assem- bly.
