RISING SENTIMENT
AGAINST SPEEDERS
The constant complaints heard
in and around Fairbanks against
reckless and careless car and
truck dr. vers—and the speed
fiends, together with increasing
number of accidents, is not only
a local matter. It is becoming
one of concern in all parts of the
Territory and points clearly to
necessity of some special legis
lation at the next legisative ses
sion.
But it will be months before
another legislature convenes, and
what ever local law can be in
voked shoud be enforced to the
letter.
The matter of precaution on
part of drivers and pedestrians
likewise should be kept upper
most by all who venture on high
ways. Pertinent, to the subject
the Juneau Empire says:
“The modern automobile is in
deed a perfidious thing. We think
of the life of a skipper at sea as
hazardous; but the automobile
has long since passed the steam
ship as a threat to life and limb.
“In Alaska, where there are
really not very many automo
biles, we are not as impressed
by the danger of traffic as are the
people in the States, where news
paper editors in even small towns
tan count on a traffic death a
week to put news on their front
pages.
“Automobies are dangerous
They are the most dangerous
mechanism man has even invent
ed, not excepting battle planes,
cannon or warships. It pays to
he careful when we are around
them.’’
Current Comments

Washington
—
Presidents:, both past and in of
flee are speaking pointedly about
'the Senate just now. Mr. Hoover
has called upon a member of that
body to retract, revise or re- j
verse a statement respecting the
relief policies of the former ad
ministration, and there the -mat- j
ter stands, with assurances from
the Senator that at the earliest
opportunity the alleged short
comings of the period of Repub
lican control w’ill receive an air
ing. The irritation of Republican
Mr. Hoover by the doings of the
Senate is not more violent than j
that of Democratic Mr. Roosevelt
The curb on the power of the
President over the value of the j
dollar amounted to what Sir
Walter Raleigh referred to as
“sharp medicine.”
It is stated that the R. F. C.
has power to make loans to the
South American republics, even
though there may have been no,
authorizing legislation on the
part of Congress. If that is true,
the law makers should see to it
that the barn is locked before
the horse is stolen. The right to
lend federal funds abroad is too
serious a matter to rest mire
s'rained, and without approval
in the hands of any single govern
ment agency. Beside, it is not
wise to make enemies out of
South American friends, a result

■ which according to the proverb,
will be a necessary consequence
of lending them money.
On account of an alleged ir
regularity in the app ication doc
ument, the citizenship of the
• West Coast Director of the Ger
man-American Bund has been
cancelled by a federal judge, sub
jeot to appeal. The United States
owes a debt of gratitude to the
multitude of Germans who, for
more than a half-century follow
ing the Revolution of 1848, flock
ed to this country, toiled early
and late, took their place among
the best of citizens, and laid
many a four square and heavy
stone in the foundation of a great
civilization. They clustered to
gether, here and there, in sing
ing societies and shooting clubs,
; to amuse themselves in accord
ance with the social! customs of
the old home. Those organiz
ations were harmless. It is to be
questioned whether the aims of
the present day German-Ameri
can Bund are as innocent. Until
the Bund clears itself from sus
picion, those who are not mem
bers perhaps may be excused if
they show unconcern when a
Bund official gets his walking
papers.
For many decades, Germany
! sang with great vociferation, a
song about the Watch on the
Rhine. Poland is not doing much
I singing, but seems to be acting,
Ion the theory that she too has a
i boundary watch to keep, that
watch being along the shores of
the Baltic Ocean. In this instance
that is no sign of a back-down on
the part of the smaller power,
and the situation is regarded as
more tense than any which has
preceded it. Through the centur
ies. Poland has been trimmed
and divided to suit the notions
of stronger governments, and
was partially reassembled only
after the World War. For a proud
race, the Poles have had to put
up with a great deal. Considering
, that they are fighters of no mean
j merit, there is ground for anx
' iety respecting the peace of Eu
rope. It is alleged across the sea
that President Roosevelt may ten
: der his good offices. Along that
j line the futile efforts of Mr. Wil
son furnish ground for discour-!
aging comment. The League of
Nations went up I ke a rocket
and came down like a stick.
Should Mr. Roosevelt, see fit to
; take a friendly hand, it is to be
hoped that like his predecessor,
1 he will not be forced to learn the
bitter lesson which very often is
to be derived from the kindly
but unprofitable business of cast
I ing pearls before swine.
