AN ALASKAN CONSTABULARY
The fact that Governor Parks has recommended to
the federal government the establishment of a Territor
ial constabulary, should not be pounced upon by those who
delight in ‘‘pointing with indignation'’ to Alaska. The
governor will find a vast majority of the citizens of the
Territory agreeing with him that a constabulary, some
thing after the manner of the mounted police of Canada
is something badly needed. The need does not present
itself in lawlessness, but rather in the many services such
a body could render to the prospector and others located
at remote places. With such a body making regular
patrols into the regions known to be peopled by trappers
and prospectors communication that is now absent could
be maintained while the constable would serve in the
capacity of a law-enforcement officer while safeguarding
the life and health of the vanguards of civilization. Many
men are completely isolated for the entire summer. In
cases of illness or accident they are at the mercy of fate.
Sometimes, as has happened twice within the past two
years, men meeting with accident have been compelled to
choose between a quick and a lingering death.
Under the present system of maintaining marshals
an officer cannot make a journey to a given point outside
his immediate precincts unless a crime has been commit
ted, or a complaint laid simply because no funds are avail
able for such service.
Greater economy in law-enforcement would result
from the establishment of a constabulary, while the ser
vice rendered would be of untold benefit.
In considering the question, it should not be clouded
by the assumption that Alaska needs more law enforce
ment, or that criminality is beyond the powers of the mar
shals to handle. This idea is wholly erroneous and has
no place in the discussion.
ADVICE TO VETERANS
World war veterans over the country will be able dur
ing 1927 to borrow $262,540,000 on their adjusted com
pensation certificates that have been in force two years
or more, or about 8 and one-half per cent of their face.
Loans can be made through any bank or trust company,
but loans should always be avoided, if possible. Let the
money pile up for a real rainy day.
THE SUBSTANTIAL NECESSITY
They are again holding a clinic on the working girl,
one of the particular objects of this investigation being to
determine whether she is buying silk stockings at the sac
rifice of more substantial necessities. We think they will
find she is not. There is nothing more essential to any
girl’s physical well-being and her peace of mind than silk
stockings, no matter what they cost.
SO FREQUENTLY THE CASE
Mussolini has now undertaken to censor the names
given to Italian babies. A “nobody” won’t be permitted to
bear the name of some great person or of some illustrious
family. Still, the practice sometimes carries a famous
monicker to further glories. Think, for instance, of the
additional aura surrounding the memory of Grover
Cleveland through the hurling ability of our justly cele
brated Alexander!
Old Dobbin had faults, but you didn’t have to adjust
his carburetor for cold weather.
' An elephant (says the Dearborn Independent) seldom
sleeps more than five hours a day. And now-if the In
dependent will dig up some figures about the mule we may
get a line on the next political campaign.
An instructor in New York university got a fractur
ed skull recently in a philosophical argument. It is sup
posed he was struck with the truth of the Kantian theory
of categories. That is a very weighty subject.
COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE

Eva The teachers are working out

Clear,” and “Hark the Herald Angels
Sing.”
SOLLEGE WINS AGAIN

lege baketball team defeated the Cor
dova City squad on Sunday night by

Flickinger and Jessen handball

kins and Shellhorn, won the first three
