“CROSSING THE DELAWARE”
Last Saturday President Hoover went to the scene
of the colonial army’s winter of horrors, 153 years ago,
and delivered his Memorial day address. There he por
trayed the United States in the midst of another Valley
Forge depression, urging all to overcome the situation
by ‘‘hitting the ball” and keeping a “stiff upper lip;” or
words to that effect.
At Valley Forge, where the President delivered his
address, is now a peaceful countryside where lay bur
ied more than 3,000 men who wore the ragged blue and
buff that terrible winter 153 years ago where Quakers
fought and died with fellow Americans in the war for
independence.
Many of those soldiers died of starvation and ex
posure. Unsanitary conditions and disease added to the
toll, with smallpox a vicious scourge. Before the spring
of 1778 men died so fast that common soldiers were bur
ied without ceremony in unmarked graves. There was no
complete listing of the dead.
Still standing in colonial gray stone simplicity is the
Isaac Potts farmhouse, where Washington had his
headquarters and Mrs. Washington knitted socks for the
soldiers. There also is the the schoolhouse erected by
Letitia Penn, daughter of William Penn, and used as a
hospital by the continental army. Preserved, too, are
the farmhouses where Lafayette, Von Steuben, “Mad
Anthony” Wayne and others of Washington’s high com
mand had their headquarters.
Valley creek, site of the historic forge, ripples past
Washington’s headquarters, which has been restored.
Log huts which housed the continental soldiers have
been reproduced, redoubts and entrenchments recon
structed, and memorial arches and statues erected.
Washington crossed the Delaware and Marblehead
sailors and fishermen, who manned the boats, saved the
army in its retreat from Long Island. We are wondering
now whether Hoover will display the same generalship
as Washington and, with his face up, and gazing straight
ahead, cross the present “Delaware?”
What has happened to the billions of dollars’ worth
of gold and silver that have been won from the earth dur
ing the thousands of years since mining was first com
menced? The cash in circulation doesn’t account for one
per cent of it.
************
The Supreme Court of the United States has decid
ed that it is proper to question a prospective juror on
the subject as to whether or not he has any prejudice
against a prisoner on account of race. This being now
the law, it is not necessary to go into the reasoning
which lay behind it. In a dissenting opinion, one of the
Justices stated that the enforcement of our criminal
laws is scandalously ineffective, and that there was no
occasion for magnifying what in practice is not really
important. That too is a statement which will bear
thinking about.
************
Money making has been the goal of some of our big
gest business men, and that is one of the reasons why
there is unemployment in the nation today. Employers
of labor on a large scale should heed the advice of some
of their more progressive and far-seeing leaders, and
strive to give workers continuous employment.

STAGE DEMONSTRATION I
ROME, June 1, (JF) —Fascist stu- ,
dents attacked headquarters of the,
Civilta Cattolica, a Catholic pub- j
lishing house and burned the books j
and papers and trampled an oil j
painting cf Pope Pius on the pave-j
ment. j
Fearing fresh violence Premier j
Mussolini was understood, on good
authority, to have issued orders to |
fascist students that they must stop ;
their anti-Vatican activities. Muss
olini took no part in the controversy
raging between the Catholic news- .
paper and the fascist students. A i
a result of the disorders add tion- |
al guards have been stationed at
the entrance to Vatican City tc
prevent any attempt of the youno j
black-shirts to start a march on the
Vatican.
The pontiff has asked for a full
report on the attack upon the pub
ishirg house ard an exchange o'
notes with the government is be- ;
eved to be assured.

lOH RESIDENT MISSING I
SINCE SIMM MORN!
Apparently without telling any
| of his many local friends where or I
what he intended to do, John “Tim
berline” Madnick, a resident of this ;
city for the last 12 years, has com- j
pletely vanished; none of his
friends have seen him since Satur- j
day morning when he disappeared
between the hours of 2 and 6 a. m.
Madnick was about 50 years of
age and prior to coming to Sew-;
ard had been employed in the La
touche and Treadwell mines.
It Li known that he had bem in ;
ill health for some time an 1 this
has led his friends to believe he
may have become despondent.
HOMESTEADERS
Fairbanks gained two new resi- j
dents recently with the arrival of i
Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Miller from i
North Dakota. The Millers intend j
to locate -on a homestead near j
Fairbanks, having become inter- \
ested in Alaska after having talked
to M. D. Snodgrass, head of the '
colonization department of the
Alaska Railroad, reports the Fair- !
banks News-Miner.
The halibut schooner Sunde, j
Capt. Ericson, arrived in port with j
27,000 pounds of fish. I
Mr. and Mrs. O. Sandbeck re- j
ceived a telegram from their son !
Edwin, now in Seattle, that he
will be in the hospital for three
weeks. Edwin is permitting plas
tic surgery to be performed on his
ears which somewhat resemble
the socalled “cauliflower” ears.
