In mak- ing its bow, the Arrowhead said editorially: “We are running a newspaper. In other words, a paper {for news. Politics will not enter our columns unless it is news and nothing else. We are, and are to be, fair, clean and nonpartisan.” That it a fine ideal for any newspaper to live up to. It is not an impossible goal. And as the publisher and the editor set about its attainment, they deserve and we are sure they will have the sympathy and support of all of their community which is large enough and prosperous enough to afford a weekly newspaper. The Empire extends its greetings to its new Sitka neighbor and wishes it a long, useful and prosperous career. The 1934 edition of the Seattle Indians seems to be a replica of its predecessors of the past few ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. DR. WIRT’S “REVOLUTION” IS A DUD. It is very plain that the eminent Dr. A. W. Wirt, Gary, Ind., educator, is a better schoolmaster than he is a reporter. Either that or he is obtaining money at Gary under false pretenses. The good doctor’s fantastic charges against “the brain trust” or certain members of it fell flat when he' was, given a hearing before the special Investigating Committee of the House. What he had stated flatly in his original letter, on which the hearing was based, as a charge against a “member of the brain trust,” a something he had heard said him- self, proved to be something some one else had_told him the “brain truster” had said. And that “some one” promptly denied ever having told Dr. Wirt any such thing. No wonder Dr. Wirt was told to turn in his expense account and go home. The Gary man has just been “seeing things.” His “knowledge” seems to have been derived from visions. He had a bad case of them and probably got frightened. Fortunately few people ever took him seriously. Even the Republican leaders, casting around for something on which to hang a Con- gressional campaign next Fall, didn't get excited over his revelations. They did seek to take ad- vantage of it by attempting to stage an extended debate over the President’s recovery program, charged Dr. Wirt was being “gagged” when the Democratic majority blocked them in that effort, but they fooled nopody, not even themselves. It can hardly be charged that Dr. Wirt’s statements were designed as anti-administration campaign material. The first requirement of political propaganda s that it shall be of reasonably credibility. And that is just what Dr. Wirt's statements were not. REASONING AND LEARNING. The difference bpeyween reasoning and learning is easy to talk about, but psychologists and anatom- ijsts have been working for years trying to find out what there is about the brain that governs these two operations. There was a time when science thought that all the different senses and reasoning processes in the brain were neatly “poxed” into specific regions. A whole pseudo- science( phrenology) grew out of this fact by adding the simple statement that the bumps on one's head were designations of the growth of the underlying brain area. Experimental evidence now comes from the Uni- . versity of Michigan that the brain is not divided into neat departments, each within its own activ- ity, and the whole connected by an elaborate system of “switchboards” to coordinate them. Research by Dr. Norman R. F. Maier shows that rats with part of their brain. removed learn habits Just as well as normal animals despite the fact that the cperation cuts through. the “switchboard” and should sever connections, create what is called “cross-talk” in - telephone system, and generally create con- fusion. Speaking before the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters recently, Dr. Maier de- clared that science will have to give up entirely the commonly held theories that suggest there are definite parts of the brain concerned with learning, the registration of sight, taste and other sensory information, plus some definite arr'angcmem be- tween nerve fibers between these divisions which enable an animal or man to reason by connecting separate stored-up experiences into larger ideas. From his studies Dr. Maier has found that mental failure is dependent to a large extent on the amount of brain injury as well as its location. The shape of the injureds area may even have some- thing to do with the extent of brain failure. This latest possibility is indicated by experiments in ‘which it was found that the removal of a round section of the brain tissue caused less failure than when an incision of oval shape was made, even though the total area of tissue destroyed in the process was the same for both, cases. The fact that animals can learn habits as quick- 1y after the removal of part of their brains as do normal animals, indicates no special section of the brain is necessary for learning A BELGIAN SHRIN At Marche Les Dames where Albert, the Belgians, lost his life last February is te be _the site of a national memorial which will be erected at the rock where the tragic incident ‘occurred. Already the rock has become the objective a pilgrimage for Belgians from all over the ountry, many of whom kneel reverently at the spot Baron Jacques de Dixmude discovered the body of his king. The area has been set as a national park and will be preserved all depredation. A BRAND NEW NEWSPAPER. a lapse of years, Sitka is the pos- of a new —the Arrowhead.

A Defeat for the Country. (New York Herald Tribune.) With the overriding of his veto of the inde- pendent offices bill, President Roosevelt has sus- tained the first sensational and unqualified defeat of his Administration. It will, no doubt, be hailed as a major blow to his prestige. The Republicans in the Senate, who voted unanimously for this result, and the Republicans in the House, who voted for it, 97 to 2, perhaps feel that they have rendered a brilliant service to their party. If so, it is impossible for us to agree with them. For this one issue upon which a defeat has been administered is an issue in which President Roosevelt stood exactly where Presidents Coolidge and Hoover had stood before him. It was an issue in which he was insisting upon fundamental principles of sound finance and sound public administration, principles which the Republican Party is dedicated to uphold, land in the support of which it can alone hope to regain the confidence of the country. | Yet this is the sole issue upon which the Re- | publican opposition has succeeded in encompassing his downfall. The record of the Roosevelt Ad- ! ministration is strewn with uncertain or dangerous | experiment, offering ample ground upon which an ;intclhgcm opposition might take its stand in the Igenuine service of the country. Yet the first great victory has actually been won not in the service !of the country but in the service of two imperious lobbies, who are now enthroned at supreme Over {bm.h parties, over three Presidents and half a |dozen Congresses. It is difficult for sincere Re- | publicans to take the slightest satisfaction in that loutcome or to look forward with any pleasure to its probable effects upon the ultimate fortunes of their party. bl bl 1 ! Vanished Frontier. (New York Worla-Telegram.) | No one was better situated than Chief Two-Guns ,White Calf to read an jronic meaning into the w_ord {“liberty” placed beside his face on the 5-cent piece which he adorned. Born beyond the frontier in the Blackfoot coun- try around the middle of the last century, the chief could remember when his concern was far less with |the encroaching white settlers than with the neigh- {boring Crows and Sioux. He was a monarch. At the finish he possessed the liberty of accepting tips from tourists at a Glacier Park hotel, and that was about his limit. = Now that the chief has entered into the long sleep with his fathers he may find consoling dreams in the fact that the process of change which he typified is applying already to the white man as it did to the red. As the whites pushed back the Indian and the buffalo into limbo, after they had used up the frontier entirely, they awoke to the fact that they Ineeded it very much. If there were a convenient |frontier now the way out of the depression would be far easier. Chief Two-Guns White Calf may 'have had a parting smile at that. Food Profection. (Post-Intelligencer, Seattle.) All foods for human consumption should be inot only pure when prepared but pure when sold. And not only pure when sold, but sold in a jform calculated to keep them pure for a reasonable |period. Food protection is al of the public health. 1t is specially necessary in the case of perishable foods. Such foodstuffs should not be sold to the |consumer in bulk form, however small the quantity. They should be put up in sealed cans, jars and other air-proof and dust-proof containers. A further protection for the public is the use of trade-marked cans, jars and other food con- tainers. The trade mark is a-sign of responsibility on the part of the manufacturer, and, in the case of widely advertised products is a pledge of such responsibility. Without that pledge the advertising would not be effective. The . product as advertised is the reason for advertising it, and the only reason in the case of products intended for continuous sale. Thanks to the efficacy of responsible advertising, the public is now well on the way to seeing the last of such products as bulk mayonnaise. They are joining the antiquated butter tub and the open cracker barrel, the passing of which has done so much to improve the public health. n essential of the protection The Internationale played by a great symphony orchestra shouldn't seriously damage a nation that can't retain the second verse of the Star-Spangled Banner.—(Detroit News.)

SYNOPSIS: Judith Dale has gone to the Rio Diablo dam to su= pervise the work begun by her for- mer employer Big Tom Bevins. in accordance with the terms of his will She has left Justin Cunard and Judge Morgan in Houston to fioht Morton Lampere. who {s try- ing to recover for the Bevins heirs the money left Judith by Bio Tom for the completion of the dam. But she also_has left behind her hus- hand. Norman Dale. Lampere’s law partner. Norman does mot ap= prove Judith's coit The dam workers await Judi speech. Chapter 27 STRAIGHT TALK S Judith Pale raised her hand, silence fell on the crowd of dam A They had asked for a speech. “Tell me what you would like to' know? she asked. “Our jobs . acw about our jobs? “Who gets Mason's place?” “How long you goin’ to keep oper: atin'?” Again her uplifted hand — “Big Tom would have had the man next in line fill Mascn's place. We'll fol low the same plan. Max Larson 1s next in line.” A roar of approval greeted this. “Your jobs are safe. The new company has money to carry on the work and keep your salaries going during the will contest—" She stopped. Somewhere on the outer fringe an argument was going on. “What's the trouble?” she de manded. “Aw,” came a voice, “there's a bird back here says we ought to beat it while beatin’s goc * and get ourselves a real job. He says the Bevins women are go ' t' let this dam go as soon’s the will's broke and they get the money. “What'll we do with him, Miss Judy?” asked a young voice, “shall we ride him out on « rail?” This emergency was one Big Tomn could not have foreseen. Judith knew her dam workers. She bhad known them all of her life. They could be gquickened to mutiny nas quickly as they could be quickened to loyalty and upon the turn of a word this decision might rest. “Ride him out on a rail?” echoed Judith in derision, “why give him transportation, let aim walk.” The guick answer won. Roars of laughter, scuffling on the fringe then silence. Judith spoke again—"naturally you are interested i1 your johs Whether you keep these jobs or vot is up to you. It will depend upon one thing, your loyalty to Big Tomn Bevins. “As you work, remember you are working for him, just as | am wor k ing for him.

There will be no dan ger from that source . .. but the same Influence which will try to break the will, will try to send spies into camp here to cause dissension distrust, anything to hinder the work on the dam. “If you listen to these spies, you anyone else. “Big Tom had foresight emough | to protect your interests against |our common enemy. Have you loy | alty enough to protect his memory the building of this dam?"” O Judith, it seemed the shout of assent was unanimous and shortly afterwards the crowd bve gan dispersing and she found her self surrounded by a group of fore men, engineers and construction men, many of whom she had worked with before. “You said the right thing, Mrs Dale,” said Larson, “they were wor ried about working for a millionaire stenographer. - You put them straight on that.” | “And what you said about loyal ty.” added another. “Say, Judy,” interposed Clark Goodwin, with whom she had at- tended college, *did you mean that about working for a salary?” “1 certainly did,” she answered, then with a boyish grin, “where do I pitch my tent? And say, could you rustle a second ome for my girl friend? This is Delphy, boys, she decided she wasn't going to let me come down here and eat mantillas and holy beans, so 1 found her on the train, spending her last mickel to take care of me.” “Good for Delphy, you bet we can find a tent for her.” They had been walking uphill and Judith Lane by JEANNE BOWMAN workers who had come to greet her | million dollars it will take forishe | | will »e hurting yourself worse than | | and carry out the desire of his life. | the queer ship-rock where the sur-| veying crew had taken shelter dur-| ing the storm. There in its lee was a small house, lights gleaming through bare windows, hammers | beating a rapid tattoo. They stopped before the opened door and a man in coveralls, pound- ing a final nail in the door step, stood up. “Welcome home, Small-Jude,” he said “Slim Sanford,” gasped Judith. “If | didn’t know you bad wings I'd believe you were your own ghost. However did you get bere?” “With my wings. Cunard sent me down as soon as you riade up your mind to come. He wired Laredo for r to be sent in and the boys 1 in their off hours to put this “| repeat, you're a great gang.” Judith, who kuew the dearness of lumber so far from shipping cen- ters, appreciated the little wooden’ shack for its true value. It was just one loug burren room with a board- ed lean-to for a kitchen and a cur- tained alcove for Delphy, but. it spelled luxury. Delphy took in the situation and called Slim Sanford aside. Slim had been around Hillendale enough for Delphy to have assumed a proprie- tory air over him anc his services. “Ma's Slim, reckou I'd best make coffee and sangwichens?” He decided it would be a fine idea and be presided over the oil stove which Delphy eyed with consider- able apprehension while she made sandwiches, devoured by the men who sat in the big room talking to Judith.

Sympathy and tenderness were there, and a fierce protective Delphy says just choc-late for Judith,” he explained when you, she held up her cup for coffee. After the men had left, Judith went to her comfortable bed, brought in on the work train for her, and tried to sleep. but her mind sped back to Hounston. What would Norman think when he realized she bad ieft? What would he do? Would he write? Where was he now, still in Galveston, perhaps?

She thought of Slim Sanford instead. thought of him wonderingly. Of course Slim had been acting as a winged courier for Cunard, and yet there seemed to be something deeper in his concern for her wel fare. Judith did not want Slim’s regard to go deeper than friendship—and yet she felt a twinge of pleasure when she thought of the aviator. She started to turn and heard Delphy’s springs creak. She beld her breath. If Delphy learned she was awake she'd have to drink some | more chocolate ‘and she couldn’t. She lay there wondering-what the old woman would do when she saw the native children; try to fatten them? What a time she'd have. That was it, she'd write Norman in a light vein--"Normy dear, be- hold your wife, Delphy accompanied by six cans of chocolate and the old red brick—" She curled into a cou.fortable po- sition, punched her pillow into a puft ball and burrowed her head into it resolutely.
