Is it they would come to see our summer atched winter grandeur when transportation be- ties for youth, the ski trail can be made to fill a major place in the lives of our boys and- girls. It is clean, healthy sport; it is great fun, a primary requisite. Such events as the Juneau Ski Club put on yesterday is ex- uctly the thing that will make skiing one of the out- | standing sports by interesting the youngsters, ! as oldsters, in it. Hey, Junjor! What did you do with that ski wa as well " YOUTH'S DAY 1 COURT. One of the most stix society ng indictments of organized ever rendered in Juneau was presented last night in the Northern Light Presbyterian church by two fiery representatives of modern youth, George Folta and Dean Williams, high school students, who knew what they felt and had the intelligence, the hon- esty, and the oratorical ability. to say it. Briefly stated, the indictment charged society with having failed miserably in its duty toward youth during the turbulent years which have followed the | last world conflict. Billed as a “mock trial,” the affair almost immediately settled down to a serious! affair. Youth passionate in its arrmgnmunl.,: brutally honest, even to the point of contempt of | court, telling society what was wrong with its| methods. On the other hand, the defense, represented | by prominent citizens from all walks of life, was by | turns tolerant, wounded, sorrowful, explanatory,. and almost cheerfully reminiscent of the hardships of ns‘l own boyhood ! Better advice may never be rendered youth than that given in the closing address of society's legal repre- | sentative, H. L. Faulkn who pleaded with them to accept the challenge of these troublesome times in the same spirit with which William Wordsworth, as a | was in boy of 19, accepted the social and economic insecurity inherent in the French Revolution: “Bliss was it in that to be but to be young was reaven Life is as yet an individual thing; individuals; and the glory of con- potent when dawn alive, very meet is all it as the que more the odds are against us But there was also, profound lesson for society in last night's performance, It is not enough to smile tolerantly at what may seem the intolerance ot youth; | to forgive, with parental forbearance, its “indictment for the sins of parents,in par- by last 1 natural expression of youth- and worldly experience will of society in general ticular and to reg: all that was said t's young orators pirits, which time destroy without ill effect to anyone. There is more to it than that, Society ‘could do well | to ponder on even that very indictment which may seem most to be an inconsistency: That it has, on one hand, neglected to provide for youth those economic which would proteet its the other hand, has done young ind moral safeguards in- and experience; on people irre > harm by on doing their thinking for them. Tt would-do'well to remember & sim- ilar. indictment once brought against them by Vache! insisting Lindsay: Let not young souls be blotted out until They do quaint deeds and boldly flaunt their pride; It is the world’s worst sin—its babes grow dull, Its poor are ox-like, limp and leaden-eyed. Not that they starve but starve so dreamlessly; Not that they sow, but that they seldom reap Not that they serve, but have no gods to serve, Not that they die , but that they die like sheep. From the way some of those coming young skiers landed yesterday we suspect they may be standing up to eat their meals for the next day or two. A speaker at the Lincoln Day banquet said the old gray mare ain't what she used to be, but that wa before Nellie and the, cutter appeared on the streets of Juneau Saturday Mr. Borah’s Purposes. (Cincinnati Enquirer) Although Senator William E. Borah is a singuk difficult subject for the strategems of the mind- reader, one may plausibly guess at his real motives in entering the Ohio primaries. Naturally, he is not without some hope of winning the G. O. F. nomination the Presidency. But he is too shrewd a man to in ine that his chances are extremely good. It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that he has oth hurposes in seeking a test of his strength in Ohio One might be to build up enough influence in the Cleveland convention through election of friendly delegates to give him a real voice in the selection of the nominee. Mr. Borah has definite ide: sort of candidate and the sort of platform the should choose this year. His are wide ance with those of the ult : of the party. His chief motive, therefore, might well be to put himself somewhat in the position enjoyed by Wiiliam Jenning Bryan in his later years, when he was comes less of a problem? not strong enough to win the nomination any more, But aside from the possibilities of the tuture. and |but still was able to make or break other aspirant they are many, the Ski trail and the activity of a Club Perhaps this assigns to the Idaho Senator some- is a real asset to our immediate community.

Ancient historians—Homer for | example—were interested in the ventures and exploits | of great men. But they were satisfied with the fact that their subjects were heroes ind made good stories, They told the stories, were listened to with wide-eyed | awe, and everybody was, so far as we know, happy and satsified. But modern students have inquired just a little more deeply into the matter. And the inquiry was worth the result. They have reached the illuminating conclusion that greatness comes to men and institutions in direct or those institutions serve a great need.
