Salmon In Alaska

It may be matter of establishment to
many people to know that more than
one-half the salmon pack of the United
States and nearly half the worlds sup
ply of canned salmon now comes from
Alaska. The capital invested in the
Alaska salmon fisheries is said to be
more than So, 000, 900, and the value of
u seasons catch, not including the nan
ufactured products therefrom, comes to
about 80, 900, 600. Last year there were
90 canneries in operation, which packed
GAG. 900 cases, and "a sailing establish
ments put on the markets 81, 900 barrels
II sailed salmon.
This is obviously killing the goose
that lays the golden egg. No reproduce
ton Of the salmon, marvellous though it
may seem, could stand such drain, es-
pecially when, as it appears from tho
researches and examinations Of the ok
perts of the national fish commission,
most of the salmon are seined at the
mouths Of the rivers, thereby prevent
ing their run up stream to the spawning
grounds and effectually preventing their
reproduction.
ALASKA is 80 completely within the
control of the government that all this
can be stopped without the least diff
entity, and an end should be put at once
to the slaughter Of salmon in this reck-
les and wasteful way. The Columbia
and other rivers of the Pacific had been
almost stripped Of salmon before the de-
velopment of the Alaskan salmon fish
ing, and now it seems likely that the
same thing will happen in Alaska un-
less some check be placed ON the salmon
catchers and Gamers. OF course they
will go Gu as long as they are permit
ted, for the business is u lucrative one
in ordinary years and has already made
a great deal Of money for those engaged
in it, but all the same it must be regu-
lated and checked, or before long the
Alaska salmon will have gone the way
Of the bison and the fur seal, and nature
will not forgive such an infringement
upon her rights and privileges. San
Francisco Chronicle.

The boys are talking about the grit
displayed by u coiored lad named Doug
lass, who, at the Wild West show, when
the offer of 5000 was made by the man
ager to any one who would ride the
bucking bull around the ring, went for
ward and said he would undertake it.
The bull was led in, the manager ex-
planned to Douglass that the proprietor
Of the show would not be responsible
for any injury to him and asked him to
state plainly to the audience hat he
would not hold any one responsible but
himself il he got hurt. The promise
was made.
The animal, even in repose, with
ropes around his nose and horns, held
by three cowboys. looked something
Ike a live earthquake. The saddle was
put on, and young Douglass mounted
the bull He did not stay ON half a
minute. First there was u wriggling
motion, as if the bull sought to ascer-
tain exactly what he had to deal with.
Even this wriggle must have made
Douglass feel as if he were ON top of IA
volcano. Then the bull plunged to the
right, and bending his spine to the shape
of a drawn bow almost as quick as light
ming he shot the colored boy six feet
into the air. The lad landed on his
shoulders and considered himself fortu-
nate to come out alive.
The cowboys howled themselves
hoarse at the spectacle. while the audi
ence gave visible signs Of relief, for it
looked as if the young fellow was in
imminent danger of a fatal accident.
1t is seldom that any one offers to ride
the bucking bull 1t is "a foolhardy act.

Tho Good government Movement.

Tho Good Government Movement.
The editor of The Century thinks that
the movement for good city government
in this country is something very like q
genuine religious revival It is spread
ing through the length and breadth Of
the land. One of the best signs in con-
nection with it ia that mothers and good
women are taking SO much interest in
it. II it Q anything permanent,
says The Century, "this movement
means q less selfish and more consecrat-
ed spirit on the part Of the average citi-
zen. Itmeans the su~bordination of per-
.onal and private aims to- the common
welfare" -, .~,4
The editor gives his opinion as to
who is to blame for bad city govern
ment as follows:
The truth Is that the source of all this bad
city government Is in the hearts Of the people
who live in the best residence quarters and
do business in the tall buildings and sit in the
best seats of our churches. A great many of
them are directly interested in the perpetua-
sion OF bad city governments. Assessors who
could not be bribed and city councils that
would not give away franchises are precisely
what they do not covet. But those who are not
20 directly implicated are either so busy with
their own affairs that they wholly neglect
their most solemn obligations or else 81, sordid
aud 30 cowardly that they are unwilling to
risk gain or popularity by openly opposing the
svil. 1t Ii not no much by what these 'best
citizens" have done AS by what they have fail.
I'd to do that our cities are Inundated. There
N q terrific parable OF judgment In which the
damned are consigned to the everlasting fire
prepared for the devil and his angels. What
had they donep Nothing. "Inasmuch as We did
it not" was the ground of their condemnation.

why DO Children Tell Liosq

We give it up. We have often on
dered why grown people tell lies, but
nave never been able to answer the ques-
ZION satisfactorily. f, however, children
lie from a different reason than the n
that prompts grown people to do SO, per-
haps DR.. Nathan Oppenheimer lays be-
fore us that reason III The Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Most people think Young ones tell lies
from mere depravity. DIR. Oppenheimer
says not. He finds o scientific cause for
childhood's departure from truth. He
remarks that the "origin is to be sought
in the fundamental workings Of the
mind" A chi!dsees or hears something.
1t makes all impression on his mind
that is to say, the idea of the thing is
conveyed to his brain through his sight
or hearing. Then his mind c~onceiyes it
ami returns his concept n to the outer
world again in speech. To do this cor
rectly there must be a brain capable Of
forming an ccurate idea, then, second,
a brain capable of transmitting the idea
accurately back. IF the child's brain ic
not fully or harn~ niously developed,
then either it's ideas or the expression Of
them or both will be defective. Few
children's brains are tremendously de-
veloped, therefore they are often uncon-
scious liars.
This scientific explanation Of infantile
lying, that it is caused by imperfect
brain action, is no doubt as trne as it is
beautiful. But somehow we have no
siced that many OF the greatest liars
among children are those who have had
frequent opportunity to hear their par
ents tell white lies at home. 1t is odd.
but it is also scientifically true. Perhaps
in that case the parents brain develup
ment is likewise detective.

The man who wants q drink in an
Indiana dramshop must henceforth take
1t ON the ground floor, without music
and with no curtains between him and
the awful glare of the public gaze. If a
man wife or small son or beloved
pastor desires to look on while he i'm
bibes a whisky sour, there can be not
even a newspaper to hide him. This is
the terrible part of the new temperance
law in Indiana.

of Henry Clews-

New York, Oct. 15-Henry Clews
does not propose to pay the bills Of a
dashing young woman who travels
around ordering goods promiscuously
under the pretense that the genial ban

All sorts of articles have been dellV-

a woRTHv sENTTRrFNT

Mr.. Hobart in his first speech Of the
campaign at Paterson, N. J., declared
that it would be the duty of the Repub-
lean party. If successful, to get back
the country's lost prosperity. Tt is
worthy sentiment. The same will be
the duty of the Democratic party. On
this point there is no issue.
The contest now going on between
the two parties grows out Of demand
of the people to know how it is pro-
posed to bring this about and a deter
mination on their part to decide for
themselves which is the most desira-
bic way and the one most likely to
succeed.
If a majority become convinced that
this much desired end can be obtained
by continuing present conditions they
will doubtless vote that way. If on the
other hand they decide that the policy
pursued by the government during the
past eight years should be changed in
order to accomplish what it will be the
duty of the party elected to bring
about, they viii SO vote.
The large increases in registration
reported from all over the country in
dictate that the voters are thoroughly
aroused to the Importance Of the mat
ter at issue and the result should be
cheerfuly accepted by the entire coun-
try as the undoubted viii of a MAORI
ty of the American people and every
citizen should lend his unstinted aid
to the successful party in its effort TO
do what it is to his interest and the in
terest of all that it shall do-bring
back our lost prosperity. 1t should not
only be brought back but it should be
so anchored that it cannot again get
/ away.

FOREIGNERs IN HOE.
Canadians Waiting for the United
States to Pronounce for Gold

London, Oct 15-There was a large
attendance at the annual meeting Of
the Grand Trunk railway of Canada.
The president, Sir Charles Rives Viii
son, said he had been accused of order
ing an expensive new car. Such a car,
he admitted had been constructed, but
he added, he did not think any atten-
ton would have been paid to the cir
cumstances, had it not been for the
lively imaginations of Canadian re-
pOrters.
Continuing, the president said it was
also charged that he was Americaniz-
ing the system, while, as a matter Of
fact very few American officials, con-
sidering the large staff, had been ap-
pointed.
Later Sir Charles begged the stock
holders to be patient, pointing to the
fact that the times were not propitious.
although the horizon, he said, seemed
to be clearing.
The Americans, he explained, were in
the throes of a financial crisis, but pos
sibIy in a few weeks the thrOes would
be over. and from information he had
received he believed that the result
would be q triumph for sound financial
principles. which would, in his opinion,
bring about a revival of business in
which the North American railroads
would share.
