DR. DAVID STARR JORDAN
When Dr. David Starr Jordan, noted educator who
died Saturday at Stanford, arrived in California in 1891
to take up his duties as president of Stanford Univer
sity, his home became the center of the institution's
activities. The first entrance examinations were held
on the front porch and it was here that gatherings of
students and faculty, culminating in everything from
baseball games to field trips, Were organized.
Although he had been a university president for
a quarter of a century, Dr. Jordan always declared that
he never desired such a post, insisting that his primary
interest was in scientific research. In order to give him
time for that work and to relieve him of the pressure
of routine administrative duties, the title of chancellor
of Stanford University was created for him in 1912 at
the instance of Herbert Hoover, then a member of the
board of trustees.
In the spring of 1918, Dr. Jordan inaugurated at
his home his famous Thursday evening conferences, at
which he talked freely on the infinite variety of sub
jects in which he w’as interested. He was awarded the
Raphael Hermann peace prize of $25,000 in December,
1924 for his plan to further world peace.
Dr. Jordan was author of a large number of vol
umes dealing with the subjects to which he devoted his
life—science, peace, education, and natural history.
Those concerning international relations included “The;
Blood of the Nation,” published in 1902. It was an ar
raignment of war from the biological side of the question
and included a presentation of the physiological and
economic effects of war. Others on the subject of war
and peace were “War and Waste;” “War’s Aftermath;”
“World Peace and the College Man;” “War and the
Breed;” “Ways to Lasting Peace;” and “Democracy and
World Relations.” j
Others of his works included: “Care and Culture of
Men;” “Science Sketches;” “Imperial Democracy;“ “The
strength of Being Clean;” “The Call of the Century;”;
“The Religion of a Sensible American;” “The Stability
of Truth,” and “The Unseen Empire.”
PAYING THE PRICE
It may be true that military men favor the main
tenance of larger armies and navies than the average
civilian deems necessary. But that they want war is not
true. No class is more opposed to war than those who
must inevitably take part in it when it comes. Particular
ly is this true of those who have experienced the horrors
of war.
But military men who have seen the slaughter of un
trained or partially trained troops are naturally believers
in adequate measures of preparedness. As a rule they
have little faith in the idea that war is a thing of the past.
At the same time they realize that public sentiment
is against a large regular military establishment and con
tent themselves with making the best preparations pos
sible with the means Congress provides. Their attitude
is well expressed by Major General Charles P. Summerall,
who said: •;
“We have never fought a war with trained and equip
ped troops, and we never shall do so. It is inconsistent
with the form of our government and the psychology of
our people to maintain adequate military preparedness.
They would rather pay the price that has followed every
war than spend a part of the amount in preserving peace.”
The Soviet government has started a drive to “dis
cipline” labor. From the depths of Tartarus below, or
from the New Jerusalem above, a long line of czars may
be watching, with cynical grins, and with the remark:
“That's what We tried to do.”

WESTWARD LAD PAYS
FIRST VISIT TO CITIES
For the first time in his life
I George Severson, a young man
I around the 20 mark, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Hans Severson of Ili
amna, is seeing modern towns
trains, etc. George arrived in Se
ward a few days ago from Anch
orage and is entering the Seward
General Hospital for a minor op
; eration.
Though George isn’t getting a
j crink in his neck from gazing at
j local skyscrapers, never-the-less,
he is enjoying himself in learning
what makes the modern towns
click. George’s father is the well
known and prominent trader and
business man of the Westward
area who bears the wonderful re
putation of being the “squarest
shooter in the Westward.” George
looks like a chip off the old block, i
With him came Samuel B. Foss,
another prominent Iliamna resi
dent; Jack Kinney, the mink
rancher, and William Hill, a bro
ther of Foss is now enroute here.
All have or are entering the local
hospital. These stalwarts from out |
the West came out part way by 1
plane and will return the same {
way. From Iliamna Bay to An- !
chorage they road the MS. Dis- !
coverer, Capt. Heinie Berger.
Due to development of business
j attendant upon big game hunting
and fur farming, Capt. Helnie Ber
ger of the MS Discoverer, plying
Cook Inlet between Anchorage
and Seward, is erecting a dock
at Kasilof. When completed the
dock will have a length of 30 feet
for berthing the ship and 50 feet
to shore. Piling has been driven
and workmen are now flooring
the structure.
It is Captain Berger’s plan to
erect a large storehouse and
commodious quarters for big
game hunters and other visitors
,to the famous Tustamena Lake
! country. On his next trip out of
Anchorage Captain Berger will
itow a scow loaded with 50 tons
of coal consigned to upper Cook !
Inlet ports.
EVICIEEK TO HE
“Complete and modern machin
ery for a 50-ton will was purchased
in San Francisco and Seattle,” said
Dean Ernest N. Patty of the Alaska
College, consulting' engineer for the
Eva Creek Mining Company, who
returned to Fairbanks after buying
the equipment, says the Fairbanks
News-Miner.
“Power will be furnished by a
150-horsepower Atlas Imperial die
sel and individual electric drives
for the various machines.”
Dean Patty announced that A.
W. Hackwood, formerly mill sup
erintendent for the Kennecott Cor
poration at Latouche, is now en
route to Eva Creek to take charge
of the mill and will also have
charge of the installation. He is
bringing two shift bosses who were
with him at Latouche.
On his way to College, Dean Pat
ty made a trip to the mine. He
found lumber and cement from
Fairbanks on the ground. Thirty
thousand feet of lumber was ship
ped from there. Concrete retaining
walls for the mill were being poured.
“It is anticipated that the mill
will be in production sometime in
December,” he said. This, it is be
lieved, will constitute a record, as
is was only a couple of months ago
that financing of the project began.
Sixteen men are employed now in
construction work and the crew will
total about 20 men when the mill
is in operation.
It is intended to take out and mill
ore all winter. Plans call for ship
ment of the first carload of con
centrates to the Tacoma smelter
before the first of the year and a
carload a week will be sent out
j thereafter.
