Present plans, Delegate Dimond has told us, cal for President Roosevelt to visit Alaska next Summer. That is the finest and most welcome news Alask has had for many a year. No visitation could he more welcome, and none is more to be desired than one by Mr. Roosevelt. The President, the Delegate said, is deeply inter- ested in Alaska. For two reasons this can te accounted for. First, in this Territory is the Na- tion’s last great frontier. It has not progressed with the same speed with which earlier frontiers of the United States were developed. Some of the causes, such as distance from the mainland, are wellknown. Others are not so well recognized and the President might well want to study sonfe of them for himself. There is the importance of Alaska to the Na- tlon's defense, its place in the President’s plans for a Naval establishment second to none and an effi- cient Army, which undoubtedly add to his interest in this Northland. The Navy's several expeditions and the Army's Alaska flight are but some of the evidences of the present Administration’s realization that this Territory is one of the key sections in the country's defense policy. For these reasons, if there were no other, the President’s visit here would be welcomed by all of us. They insure greater attention to our develop- ment and an improvement in our status. There are, of course, still other reasons why we shall greet Mr. Roosevelt with joy. No other Administration, either Democratic or Republican, has been as liberal with the Territory as has his. No other President has made as deep an impression, none has attained the same high degree of wellnigh universal popu- larity as he. So not only for what he may be able to do for us, but for himself personally we will give to him a greeting that no other man could command Alaska will not be laggard in preparing for his reception. Every community will want to have a part in it. Each will want to have the honor of receiving him. Those that he does visit, will regard the event as epochal, as indeed it will be. CCESSFUL SEASON. Bunday, the 1934 City League baseball season eame to an end, when the Elks, managed by A. T. (Chevy) Koski, won its second successive cham- pionship, defeating the American Legion club, which won the title for the second half of the season. While the Legion supporters seem to have wished that the superiority of the Elks might have been more clearly established, the Elks played more A S consistent ball all season than any of its rivals thought. and none should undertake to deprive them of the Other experiments, glory that goes with victory. The season just closed has been one of the most successful from every standpoint in League's history. It has furnished fans with some fine sport. The brand of ball has been better than the average. Fans have turned out in larger numbers than for several years. It has been good, clean sport, and added to the following the League has enjoyed throughout its life. Next year ought Closing Out!

It is an article by Richard Curle in “The Fort- nightly” which reminds us that on August 3 an even ten years had gone by since the death of Joseph Conrad. It seems a strangely short time— and a strangely long one. In those ten years many novelists have arisen whom Conrad, perhaps, would scarcely recognize by that name; the changing winds of taste and criticism have blown a good deal of dust about the great manument which he left in English letters. Already he is receding into that middle distance which prompts the hurrying literary editor to ask whether an author is “still being read.” If he? Mr. Curle’s loyalty is, of course, unshaken. So, one imagines, must be that of countless others who, whether they still read Conrad or not, treasure the great pageants of the human spirit which he unrolled before them. There have been other sorts of change in those ten years—changes, as Mr. Curle says, which would have brought Conrad “little happiness.” 1In 1924, when Conrad died, the Dawes plan had just seemed to wind up the war and the world was recovering from a momentary recession to begin the great cra of prosperity. The future was bright. But with Conrad, to quote Mr. Curle again, a “regard for such words as honor, fidelity and duty was perhaps the eonly final justification for existence.” 1In neither the prosperity about to ensue nor the collapse to which it led would Conrad have felt that those qualities wers dominant. One remembers the Great de Barral in “Chance’—the swindling financier who swindled himself first of all—and wonders what Conrad would have made of the even greater de Barrals who were about to rise, and fall, with the proper age. One remembers also the many other characters—Nostromo, the old shipmaster in “Ty- phoon,” Lord Jim—through whom Conrad expressed his belief—as deep as it was “romantic’—in forti- tude, in personal dignity, in the inescapability of individual responsibility. Conrad did not like to be regarded as a novelist of the sea, nor was he, except as the sea shaped the standards by which he saw and tested human values. “His seaman’s upbringing,” says Mr. Curle, “with its insistence on discipline for the safety of all, may have helped to mold the tenor of his There is no room at sea for social, or and Conrad, while he hated |tyranny and autocracy, was a believer in tradition and efficiency.” Is he still read? Tesla's electric bath would be no more shocking than a lot of things now seen around the bathing beaches.—(Indianapolis Star.)
