In selecting Eiler Hansen for Superintendent of the Pioneers'’ Home, Gov. Troy guided by more than the appointee’s loyalty to the Democratic Party, unquestioned as that is. After all, the position is more than political plum. The institution was founded and is conducted as something besides a place to be kept in existence so that some political worker might have a good job as its head. It was designed and is maintained as a refuge for men who have spent the best part of their lives in service to the Teritory and, who, in the twilight hours of this existence, are longer able to maintain themselves in comfort. In appreciation of their services, the Territory provides them a home in which they are free to be them- selves. It is the duty of the that the object for which the institution was established is attained and kept inviolate. Mr.| Hansen is well qualified to do that. He is a real Alaskan. He knows Alaska and his fellow Alaskans. More than that, his long residence in Sitka, his interest in the Home there, have equipped him with a knowledge of it and its residents that is of | paramount importance in managing the affairs of the Home. His personality is of a type that will| make him congenial and liked. His training as| administrative assistant in the Experiment Station Service fits him from a business standpoint to manage the institution. From every standpoint, the Governor's selection is admirable, and we predict that Mr. ministration, and his party, a Superintendent to see and, as he said in announcing his acceptance of the position, be in entire accord with the spirit in which the Alaska Legislature created the institution. FROM ARCTIC TO ANTARCTIC. In the broad plan for public works financed by the Federal Government as an aid to economic and business recovery, the Pacific Yukon Highway project ought to find a place. This proposed high- way from Fairbanks to Seattle, through British Columbia, some day is destined to be a section of a system of roads stretching from the farthest north- ern reaches to the most southerly section of the Western Hemisphere. No time could be more appro- priate for launching it than the present. It would provide work for untold thousands in the building. It would open up new areas for development, create new industry and rejuvenate established industry. The Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce visioned it as one of the most constructive objectives of today. In a recent editorial comment it said: The cost would be great, and years would be required for its construction, but what single project would be more con- structive than a broad highway from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic, through North, Central and South America? What project would accomplish as much toward creating international understanding and good-will? Why is it not possible and de- sirable for the United States to encourage such an artery of travel? ‘This nation has its Pacific Highway from Canada to Mexico. Canada has shown a desire to build north through British Co- lumbia and the Yukon Territory and con- nect with an American highway link ex- tending south from Fairbanks, Alaska. Mexico and the countries of Central and South America could and should be encour- aged to construct connecting links. Motor- ists of the Western Hemisphere, united in sponsoring an idea, can accomplish almost anything, as witness the highways of this country, built almost entirely with funds provided by American motorists. Why not make the construction of a highway for motor traffic from the Arctic to the Antarctic Circle an objective? It can and will be a reality some day. Why not make it a goal for the not too distant future? G Aol S | DISEASES HELP EXPLAIN CYCLES IN FUR SUPPLY. Epizootics are diseases scale comparable to that of humans. Even in the wild such maladies exist, it has been proved, in spite of contrary opinions held by many veteran woodsmen. ‘Widespread and deadly diseases affecting ducks, guail and pheasants, foxes, muskrats, deer, and rabbits have been observed by naturalists and stu- dents of biological relationships. Dr. J. E. Chillinger, of the Bureau of Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, is of the‘opinion that epizootics may be a factor explaining the more or Jess regular cycles of abundance in the northern fur-animal population.

(New York Times.) President Roosevelt’s message cabled yesterday to the heads of fifty-four Governments is broader in scope and more greatly daring in tone than even the words which President Wilson used to address to the world in the midst of the Great War. The quiet assurance and audacity of it would startle an older American generation. But it is plain that Roosevelt perceived a great opportunity and sought to live up to a solemn responsibility. From and other sources he must have had information of the extreme nervous tension in |Europe. As an old French Ambassador, Mr. Jules Cambon, recently said: “There was never so much talk about peace as today, but it must be admitted that it is more precarious than ever.” Nor can it be doubted that the President of the United States was urged to time his utterance in advance of that which Hitler is expected to make today. Without | mentioning names, or making any specific reference, | |Mr. Roosevelt clearly gave the world to under- stand what he had in mind when he said: If any strong nation refuses to join with genuine sincerity in these concerted efforts for political and economic peace, the one at Geneva and the other at London, progress can be obstructed and ultimately blocked In such event the civilized world, seeking both forms of peace, will know where the resonsibility for failure lies. So far as concerns disarmament and guarantees of national security, the President directs the force of his argument and appeal wholly against ag- gressive warfare. He would have the nations agree to ban the weapons which most readily lend them- selves to it, and which cause justified apprehensions among peoples exposed to sudden attack. But he would go far beyond this by seeking positive in-| ternational agreements, pledging each of the signa- | tory Powers never to send an “armed force of whatsoever nature across their frontiers.” This| would be a way of supplementing and slreng(han ing the Briand-Kellogg treaty. The implication is plain that the United States Government would | then be prepared to join in enforcing it. Otherwise the President’s address to the world would be simply another exhortation without a pledge of practical action. Mr. Roosevelt has fired a shot that will be heard round the world. The echoes of it, its recep- tion particularly in Germany, will be eagerly await- ed. Of our own nation it may confidently be said | that the President has its complete and enthusiastic | backing. It has observed him for the past two months rising level with the high duties thrust upon him, until he has now attained an authority and prestige, abroad as well as at home, which warrant him in risking much to step forward as a powerful volunteer in the cause of world re- | storation. } The “Old Lady” Smiles! (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) The mother of the United States navy will come to port here soon. Old and decrepit, she will be towed by one of her children—a modern navy ves-| sel, all gray and twinkling with brass, contrasting the dowdy dress of the “Constitution.” No curt orders are barked from her bridge now. No flags are bent, no sails set. She is just an old lady of the deep, tired, worn, and her task is done. Does she feel now? In fancy, she does. In fancy we see her quiver with a thrill of pride when on parade the long grey line of modern battle-wagons slip by, surely steadily, firm and strong. “Mine,” she seems to cry, “mine—all mine! In pain I bore them all. See, I am scarred and broken. My children, these modern ships, and children of my children. “Born in Boston in 1797, I went to sea. I foughi the British off the cold Atlantic Coast, and the pirates in the Mediterranean. I took the Levant, the Java and the Guerrieri, and they were mine. “You see, my children are born of strong men. Not only are they hardened by the bitter winds and dangers of the Atlantic, but they are tempered by the warm winds of the blue Mediterranean, and their blood is the blood of conquerors?” Does she feel? Yes, old “Constitution” feels. Today she is proud to rest, proud to be squired by such a sturdy son as the United States navy. She will never die, and ‘while the sun may loosen the pitch in her decks and the high seas the caulking in her sides, she/ will live forever—her spirit is indomitable and courage undying. Mother of a mighty race, old “Constitution” now visits the land she fought to save and views the endless shores she fought to hold. It is refreshing to haye a President who knows what to do and who works with his own head instead of depending upon a $500,000 commission when an unusually hard question has to be solved.— (Jacksonville Times-Union.)

The corridors were empty and darkish and long. But there was a gleam of light below the door la- beled nineteen, and I paused beside it and hesjtated and finally knocked lightly. It opened in a moment, and Sue, her bright hair aureoled against the light bebind her, stood on the threshold. “It’s you!" she cried softly and happily and stretched out both her hands, and as I took them she said with a little catch in her voice, “Oh, I'm glad.” 'OUR Mr. Lorn managed to get me out,” I said. “It was good of you to send him,” “The whole thing was absurd,” she sald vigorously. “They had no right to arrest you like that. But he isn’t my Mr. Lorn. And what did he do?” “The Mr. Lorn, then. Whoever he is, he managed it very cleverly. A} though | don’t know exactly what happened yet.
