Action of the Chamber of Commerce and the City | Council in promoting an ice skating rink in Evergreen | Bowl is commendable and no doubt will have the ole-hearted support of all persons in the communi whether they pesonally like skating or not, as it pro- vides a place for those that do, especially the young- | sters, and with safety. The fact that it will be a made rink and hot a lake which too often has treacherous ice, and its location, virtually in the heart of the city accessible, make the particularly attractive. The small amount of money the city has appropriated to aid in carrying out the work of con- struction is small in comparison with the great value the rink will have as a recreation center for children during the winter months. But as has already been suggested by Chief of Police Roy Hoffman, it would be a good chance to xtend the activity to include some sort of coasting slide for the' younger children, the little fellows up to| the age or six or seven. As the Chief pointed out at a| recent meeting of the City Council, streets are un‘ unsafe place for small children to coast even though the street itself is closed to traffic. The bigger boys and girls can manage well enough, perhaps, but the little folk actually need a slide or two for themselves. With nature furnishing the refrigeration as it has| been doing so. thoroughly thus far this winter, the| cost would not likely amount to much of a sum. With | the rink now gssured, the suggestion of a cmwemwu‘ coasting slide for the youngsters is worthy of innm-mim‘l consideration. As everyone knows there are few enough | amusements for children in Juneau.

(Cincinnati Enquirer.) “The Star-Spangled Banner” has often been criti- cized as unsuitable for a national anthem because it is so extremely difficult to sing, and because the effect, even when it is sung properly, is not particularly fine musically. It is often remarked in Cincinnati that the one really fine rendition of our national anthem was given by a Canadian choir when it visited the city. The foreigners made a good job of “The Star- Spangled Banner” by changing it considerably. A most astonishing objection to the national hymn has come from an Assistant Superintendent of Schools in New York. Speaking as an educator, this gentleman “contends that it is “too militaristic for high school students.” Emphasizing that he is not a pacifist, he argues that such lines as “bombs bursting in air” are too blood-thirsty, and develop the wrong sort of patriotism. As an educator, the gentleman is @dolibtless Tight. But national anthems do not grow on trees. "They are born of national crisis, most often in the grave emergency of war, and it is not surprising that they reflect something of the hatred and savagery of war. Perhaps it is a bad thing, theoretically, to teach young people that many of our national heroes won their fame by killing their fellowmen. But the facts of his- tory are facts. War is too much a part of our na- tional hertiage to be rooted out in deference to a pacific ideal. There probably is no harm, however, in hoping for a better national anthem. “The Star-Spangled Banner” is faulty musically and psychologically. Very few people know the words, because it is so difficult to sing. Very few people realize, also, that it has been the national anthem for only four years. Per- haps, some day, someone will write a song embodying the spirit and the ideals of our great nation in a form more inspiring to those who have to sing it, and more satisfactory to those who are concerned with the ideology of our patriotism. But anything as tra- ditional in nature as a national anthem is not to be changed merely because some pensive gentleman has found a pedagogical objection to the prevailing | anthem. Practical Polit (New York World-Telegram.) | Dr. Frank E. Townsend, author of the Townse. Plan, complains that unscruplous persons and poli- ticians are trying to confiscate his movement ror‘ | selfish ends. The good doctor doubtless is sincere in believing that his $200-a-month pension for all of the eleven I million Americans past 60, financed by a sales tax on every transaction, is socially, legally and econ- omically sound. Certainly the old folks who form his ardent army believe this. But what can be said of a California reactionary Governor who sets out to win the Presidential nom- ination with the Townsend Plan as his issue? Or of Senator Borah, who flirts with this same idea? Or scores of other politicians who raise the fantastic| banner of a doctrine they know is unworkable simply to win the votes of trusting oldsters? | Perilous Business. (Milwaukee Journal.)

N-:Mormvur, it is going to bring down on our own ship- Darling, the man known to millions as “Ding,” the| ping the closest kind of supervision at sea, with all cartoonist, has stepped out as Chief of the Bureau of | the annoyances and inconveniences which go with such Biological Survey, and Ira N. Gabrielson, a Portland, Ore., man, has been chosen his successor. | In addition to being one of America’s greatest living political cartoonists, Darling is a game con- servationist. He has very definite and thorough ideas on how wild life in the United States could be brought back to a semblance of former years. It was because of these ideas that President Roosevelt personally requested the cartoonist to head the Bureau and put his theories into practice. Financially independent, with an income from his cartoons far exceeding the ry which he received from the Government, the ldtter which, incidentally, he turned over to game conservation and never put to personal use, Darling likewise was politic y independent. In other words, he answered the President’s summons as a patriotic duty and to carry forward what he believed to be a good program. But “Ding” discovered the Con- pressional committees are something else again. The money was not forthcoming as he requested to put his theories into practice with the result that he has decided to step aside and return to private enterprise. Whatever one may think of Darling’s game con- servation ideas, one can but admire the man for his honesty and sincerity purpose, and his wholly independent attitude. It is refreshing to see a person of “control.” “We'll never get into another European war’— how often you have heard some one say that. “We'll| keep out this tim And here we are, heading into the winds that forecast the gale. West in Kevolt. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) It is a striking phenomenon of American politics that three Eastern men, Theodore kooseveil, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, have won the hearts of the West, all of them men of exceptional learning, culture and intellect, educated in the East, Governors of Eastern States. If the East regards the West as inhabited by an ignorant, uncouth electorate, it has only to observe how the best it can offer attracts votes out there. Then it might observe that the only living Republican statesmen of national repute are Westerners and that they all are in revolt against the Old Guard manipulators whose men in Congress were ousted and replaced by Democrats.

S It was revealed by relatives of .Ole{ Moe that the latter had left Seattle | in a boat in which a man named| A. H. Dahl owned a half-interest. In the North, Dahl had sold his in- terest to Krause and returned to Se- attle. Shortly after his transaction Moe dropped from sight. Questioned about his disappearance, Krausé de- | clared stoutly that he “had goue | to Europe,” but was vague as to his | account for the disposal of Moe's personal mail, which he had been| receiving in the Juneau postoffice in | the box originally chartered by Moe. | Possibility that still a fourth vie- |tim might be added to the list of | Krause's slayings arose when the| signature, several times copied, of a | man named Charles F. Smith was| discovered among his belongings. | Since his possession of the signature, | his evident attempts to copy it, and | the documents which accompanied it were similar in all respects to the traces he had of his other victims, it would seem reasonable to suppose; that the tnknown Smith met a sim- | ilar doom. i Chief of Detectives Charles Ten- | nant formally charged Krause with | the murders of William Christie, of Treadwell, Ole Moe of Seattle, and Capt. J. O. Plunkett of Juneau. 1 It was also revealed that the sub-i poena, the various letters purport- ed to be by Moe, and the letter by which Plunkett supposedly reported the burning of the “Lue,” were writ- ten on Berkshire Bond, supplies of | which paper were in Krause's pos- session at the time of his apprehen- sion.
