Mew Tork offion A “Crime Wave” in the Arctic In the Far North a jealous white fur trader killed an ' Eskimo woman who preferred the affections of an Eskimo man of her tribe. This Eskimo man shifted his love to a married Eskimo woman and killed her husband with his + spear so he could marry the widow This started a blood feud, The final reckoning showed seven killings—the white trader, a Royal Mounted cor- poral, three Eskimo men, an Eskimo woman and an Eskimo child. The affair out-movied the movies, the “color” a band of stranglers led by an Indian sorceress, | his Eskimo crime wave was staged beyond the out- t skirts of civilization, But murder is murder in the juris- f diction of the Royal Mounted, whose members are indif- i ferent to distance or time. p The surviving murderers were rounded up in a log oo radio, word was flashed southward to Edmonton, da. eis: Dubue, of the Alberta courts, made a 3,500-mile round trip into the Far North, presided over the trials, sentences, In making the trip, his conveyances In- cluded train, motorboat, steamboat, scow and canoe, At one point in the journey} machinery eclipsed romance while his boat was portaged 10 miles by auto tractor.

American pedestrians know how @ matador fects. The End of the World Since man quit using his arms as legs there has never been a time when he so generally believed that the end of his creation was fast approaching as today. Always there have been sects preaching the end of the world, but until the world war these sects were numer- ically unimportant. Today these creeds that preach the speedy “Second Coming” and the end of the earth, have Teceived converts by the tens of thousands, and new churches and sects have sprung up by the dozen with the game message and these too have found their disciples in every hamlet and precinct. Then, too, it would surprise the uninformed to get into the thoughts of the mass of the people of average educa- tion and intelligence and discover how widespread is the | belief in the coming end of things, regardless of any * church affiliation or of any especial faith, For the first time since there was a science on earth, Scientific men are, many of them, admitting that there are indications of a new astronomic shift, a new geologic jod for the earth, and that. so far as civilized life on is planet is concerned the end of the world might easily " arrive any day, as it did for scorces of thousands in Japan. One of the unfortunate effects of this belief is that it "makes men and women indifferent to “earthly” things; one type of mind devotes itself to fasting and prayer; ' another devotes itself to seeking hectic, riotous experience, for no man knoweth what the morrow may bringth forth. ‘There is a world wide indifference to the ideals and aspir- Ations that have raised man from the monkey, and much of this may be directly traced to this wide-spread feeling that to work for the morrow is senseless, for probably there won’t be any morrow. It would be well for those who are dodging their re- | sponsibilities as human beings to consider that, should the world end tomorrow there is still no real evidence that the soul ceases. The wiping out of a physical world or two is not much in the universal scheme of things, but the soul that gives up in despair, or that rushes into revelry for ' forgetfulness, is a soul worthless on this or any other ne. It’s a poor way to prepare for heaven by raising ell on earth. August automobile and anto truck production passed the 334,000 mark, | again breaking ajl records for the month.

SEATTLE STAR “Ay A Klan-Fighting Governor BY ALDRICH BLAKE Editor's Note—The following account of Oklahoma's young governor, now so much in the limelight, is frankly biased, being from the pen of the execu tive counselor to the governor, the highest appointive position in the state. However, it is highly interesting because of the close up study it affords of this inter. esting personality, It is reprint ed from the current copy of The Nation. For has Tt ts quiet at the capitol several hours Gov, Waite been interviewing job-seekers. He seen them all personally; he would like to help them al denly the monotony “A committee from Henryetta, governor.” Oklahoma's ts brok chief executive amilon usly, rises and shakes hands h his visitors— @ minister, the chief of police, and a prominent business man. ‘The committee begina its story.

Oklahomans are still talking about “Jack's mistakes,” They will tell you they love him on account of the “mistakes he has made.” In fact, this young gov- ernor thrives on “mistakes.” It fy the Walton way—a tremen- ous decision in a flash, a terrify. ing attack on the enemy, a wal- lop that leaves friend and foo alike paralyzed by the Impact.

Hoe leaps across tho first and second-line trenches and engages the enemy in hand-to- hand combat at the very walls of the citadel. And he has never lost a battle, Somo say it's the daring of the man that has made him a political lead- er of such tremendous power; others state he is possessed of unerring intuition, that instinct serves him better than reason, In any event, Governor Wal- ton does not pretend to be a scholar in politics, He admits that he 1s not “learned.” His enemien assert he has never read a “serious book" in his life, Perhaps so; but hie friends are not shocked.
