LINDBERGH NEW INSPIRATION OF YOUTH
A DDRESSING a dinner in honor of Col. Chas. A. Lind
** bergh in New York, former Secretary of State Chas.
E. Hughes said:
‘He has displaced everything that is petty; that is sor
did; that is vulgar. What is money in the presence of
Charles A. Lindbergh?
“What is the pleasure of the idler in the presence of
this supreme victor of intelligence and industry? He has
driven the sensation mongers out of the timples of our
thoughts. He has kindled anew the fires of the eight an
cient altars in that temple. Where are the stories of
crime, of divorce, of triangles that are never equilateral?
For the moment we have forgotten. America as one
mind is now intent upon the noblest and best. America
is picturing to herself youth with the highest aims, with
.courage unsurpassed; science victorious. Last and not
least, motherhood, with her loveliest crown.
“We may have brought peoples together. This flight
may. have been the messenger of good will, but good-will
for its beneficent effects depends upon the character of
those who cherish it.
. “We are all better men and women because of this ex
hibition of our young friend. Our boys and girls have be
fore them a stirring, inspiring vision of real manhood
What a wonderful thing it is to live in a time when science
and character join hands to lift up humanity with a vision
of its own dignity.
“There are again revealed to us, with a startling
suddenness, the inexhaustible resources of our national
wealth. From an unspoiled home, with its traditions of in
dustry, of frugality and honor, steps swiftly into our gaze
this young man showing us the unmeasured treasures in
our minds of American character.
America is fortunate in her heroes; her soul feeds
upon their deeds her imagination revels in their acheve
ments. There are those who would rob them of some
thing of their lustre, but no one can debunk Lindbergh,
for there is no bunk about him. He represents to us, fel
low Americans, all that we wish—a young American at
his best.”
EXPLOSION IKS PATROL
BOAT IOWA AT OIL BOOK
KETCHIKAN, July 16. (>P)—Charles
Anderson of the patrol boat Iowa mi
raculously escaped alive when an ex
plosion sank his boat at the Standard
Oil dock so quickly that the firemen
on the dock did not know that the ves
sel had been there. The Standard Oil
and General Petroleum properties
were threatened while firemen in row
boats fought the oil flames burning on
the water.
VICTORIAN GIRLS ALSO
LED VERT GAT LIVES
LONDON, July 16. (&)—Girls of
the Victorian era were just as frivo
lous as the flapper of today, believes
Dowager Lady Raglan, a descendant
of Charles 11 through her grand
mother, Lady Lavinia Cornwallis.
Ldy Raglan was a member of Vic
torian society in its most exclusive
period. She discredits the prevail
ing idea that the Victorian girl was
strickly chaperoned, and never re
ceived a proposal unless her suitor
had first asked permission from the
sidewhiskered father of fiction.

KETCHIKAN, July 16. (TP)—1The
cutter Cygian captured Alexander
Phil’s speedboat with a $1,500 cargo
of liquor and arrested Phil, an 81
year-old pioneer, near the Canadian
border Thursday. The boat as a troll
ing vessel aroused suspicion because
the poles were too small to catch fish.
FELT HIS OATS
BARTLESVILLE, Okla., July 16.
UP)—Oat meal may be a nourishing
and fattening food, but there is such
a thing as too much, thinks Orville
Morris, lately an inmate of -the
Washington county jail. Morris gain
ed about 50 pounds during a year of
incarceration. He requested that he
be released before greakfast on his
[last day, so that he would not be
jobliged to eat the cerial that had
heen the main dish of his morning
meal.
SUP UP ON BANDITS
CHICAGO, July 16. (,/P)—A silent
burglar alarm has -been devised for
■Illinois banks. Instead of resisting
! bandits, bank employes set off the
[alarm which summons vigilantes
from half a hundred business houses.

LIBQin HOTEL OPENS
IN SEWARD NEXT WEEK
The decision of S. J. Harrison to
locate in Seward is Seward’s gain
and Anchorage’s loss. Mr. Harrison
is the young “phenom” who makes
his one string violin talk; brings
forth such beautiful music, that he
has been offered on two different
occasions, contracts to appear on the
Pantages Circuit. For the last four
years he has been ranked among the
popular members of the Alaska Rail
road staff but has now terminated
his service and taken a lease on the
! hotel in which the Liberty theatre is
'enclosed. Mr. Harrison is now in
I Anchorage gathering his personal ef
fects and furniture together and re
turns within a few days and open the
I hotel which will in the future, be
|known as the Liberty hotel instead
of the Seattle.
. As an insight to his musical ability
it might be added that Mr. Harrison
has a repertoire of "well over 300
classical selections all of which he
has memorized. His musical educa
tion has extended over a long period
of years and it is said of Mr. Harri
son it is doubtful if there is any
other living person who is such a
capable performer on a one string
violin as he. He plays with piano
accompanist and will be heard fre
quently at coming local affairs.
Mrs. Fred Hakinson and son Vic
tor who left for Anchorage last Sat
urday to attend the funeral service
of Lloyd Lauritz returned on the
Brill car last night.
Among the party of eight tourists
from St. Paul which passed through
Seward today enroute to the Interior
were Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Wick, Mr.
and Mrs. G. C. Fullinweider, Myrnela
Hauser and Mrs. Ralph Hauser.
The Misses Sarah H. Bowditch and
Martha Wheatland, both from Bos
ton, were arrivals in Seward today
