A Reindeer Ranch.

President Roosevelt has issued an
order making an immediate with
drawal from public entry and settle
ment of the ST. Lawrence island, q
long narrow strip of United States
domain in the northern Behring sea.
and the entire island will be devoted
to the propagation of reindeer for
the government. The island lies 100
miles southwest of Nome, the Alask-
an metropolis, 40 miles east of Asia
and ITO miles south of the Behring
straits. 1t lies on the direct route
between San Francisco and Nome
and Asia and Nome.
1t is Il remarkable part of Uncle
Sans domain and probably few peo-
pie in the United States know of its
existence. 1t is a cheerless, desolate
region, swept twO-thirCls of the year
by the arctic gales and billiards, and
most of the time is icebound and
lsolated-withOut a tree, without ag-
ricultural possibilities, without min
erals. No white man has ever settled
there
According to the government adj
vices, which form the basis for the
presidents action, the island is eapa-
bic of supporting from $4,000 to co.
600 reindeer. Its only resource is the
reindeer moss. There has been a
reindeer herd there since 1900 and
the government has erected houses at
various places for the accommoda-
ton of the herds. Up in its extreme
northwest corner is a settlement
where 300 or 400 Eskimos exc out a
precarious existence by hunting
whale and walrus and fishing in the
adjacent sea.
1t was represented to the president
among other things that the pres
ence of q large herd of reindeer there
may prove reserve food supply that
Will save many valuable lives. The
island is in the direct path of the
whaling fleets driven out of the Are
tic ocean by approaching winter and
there is seldom year that one or
more vessels are not wrecked on its
shores.

that the political welfare of any par
ticular individual is at stake.
Believing thoroughly in the com
mon purpose of the democracy, with
which political bossism is a rank in
consistency, The Argus has but to re-
iterate the statement that it is not
seeking the role of dictatorship. It's
own forbearance with the conditions
that have prevailed for some time has
ceased. 1t proposes to remain true to
the doctrines of its party, but it will
not under any circumstances be a
party to methods that are not in
harmony with the purest of political
principles and customs. 1t will not
support aspirants for office who owe
their candidacy to the employment of
such abOminable tactics, as are here
in complained of and as were mani
fest in two of last nights democratic
primary meetings.
1t is the earnest hope of The Argus
that the local democracy will not
submit further to policy of this
kind, and that the Objectionable
events of last evening may prove but
incidents in the proceedings leading
up to convention tomorrow night
out of which may come a ticket that
will enlist and command the hearth
est endorsement of all who have the
party at heart.

Physical Exercise.

From the early days of our youth
have we heard preached the value of
physical exercise. With the lessons
constantly before us such as disease
and sickness and early filed graves as
the result of neglect of physical eX-
ercise, yet there are hundreds and
hundreds of people in this city and
and every other city in the world
who never give thought to muscu-
lar development and physical exer-
else 1t is a necessity and there is no
possible way to escape that fact Ex-
ercise is as essential to health as our
daily bread-our food and drink.
Physical exercise is invaluable as a
cure and not only as a cure, but as a
preventative. No one can enjoy the
same health without physical exer-
else as with it, and for these reasons
this athletic boom that seems to be
visiting this city is good thing. Let
the good work go on.
Use moderation and discretion in
exercise. Too much is worse than too
little. Now that spring is approach
ing, organizations are forming for
outdoor exercise. Fresh air and ex-
ercise make health and frequently
wealth, and every man, woman and
child should become interested in
physical development and care, and
all will profit thereby. Even the
doctors, who are fighting sickness
and disease constantly, will have their
tasks lightened.

Story of Abraham.

a tablet recently found in the
ruins of the great temple of Baalrat
Nippur in Babylon, dating back to
the year 265O B. c., contains brief
reference to Abraham and his migra-
ton southwark and confirms the
biblical story of the Father of the
Faithful.
The tablet was inscribed on both
sides by a Parthian engraver, with
such distinctness that it can be read
without the slightest difficulty to-
day. 1t tells us that Abraham with
his family left that region because
the Elamites had turned the pastures

Political Tactics That Will Not Be
Tolerated.
Secretary.

Following the election Of last fall
The Argus sought to make plain its
position with reference to the future
leadership of the democratic party,
locally speaking. It's aim was to
rection of the democracy's affairs in
the hands of John p. Looney, the par
ty had lost ground steadily and had
failed to reap the advantages that
were offered for success. The Argus felt
that Mr.. Looney had been given album
dant opportunity to demonstrate his
ability as leader, and having, as the
situation seemed to amply demon
strate, failed dismally, there remain
ed for those holding party interests
above all other claims, but one appar-
emit alternative demand for new
leadership and new methods of con-
troll. The Argus last November de-
clared unequivocally it's position in
these premises, and there it stands
today, and will continue to stand I'M
til the reform in party control that
it conscientiously believes is demand
ed is assured.
Mr.. Looney's political methods have
become so distasteful to the party at
large as to create a growing spirit
of apathy on the part of its members
that is hazardous to such degree
that it cannot be longer tolerated.
The success of Mr.. Looney in domin-
ating the affairs of the party has
been due absolutely to the increasing
indifference of representative demo-
Gratis. Under such conditions the par
ty cannot hope for success in its own
proper government. The party must
undertake its mission with interest
and enthusiasm in aim and principle,
and not with the overshadowing idea

Noble Work.

Meantime, and all the time, there is
spirit underneath the whole of
American education-a spirit in some
places heroically strong, which is
pushing the work of teaching upward
in spite of all the circumstances
which would seem to make it impos-
sible. 1t declares that, however the
public regard it, this work is intrin-
sically and inevitably the most digni-
fed and important that any man or
woman can engage in. 1t is Il spirit
that leads some men and women to
remain at work, not only admitting
that they are in the rag-tag and bob
tail of the professions, but in fact
because they are in the ragtag and
the bobtail-because that is where
there is at this moment the greatest
need for them. If teaching is moving
one little baTleycorn toward the
front, it is because of the work of
such as these, looking beyond the
common regard of communities to
the real satisfaction, the authentic,
legitimate, incorruptible content of
rendering a service inferior to none.
The Worlds Work.

The great PENNSYLVANIA

The great Pennsylvania road is
about to inaugurate steps to diminish
the tip-giving nuisance, on some of
its lines. Porters are no longer to be
permitted to perform such acts as
turning seats for passengers in or
red to receive tips. In view of the inn
mense earnings of the Pennsylvania,
as shown by its reports, it would seem
to be the function of the company to
tip the porters if anything of that
kind is to be done.

CIGAR ETTEs AS PRIZES.
Given by sunday school Teacher
in England TO Secure Larger
Attendance of Boys.

There have been numerous attempts
In America to enact legislation against
the sale of cigarettes; in fact, says the
Boston Globe, IL is illegal to sell
cigarettes to those under 16 years OF
age In our own state. What would these
anti-cigarette agitators say to a Sunday
school teacher who offered presents OF
cigarettes as an inducement for boys
to attend his class? According to one
Of the London papers. at All Saints
church. Wellington. in Somerset, the
practice of giving cigarettes to members
OF the Bible class was started II was
reported that this distribution OF
cigarettes increased the attendance of
the Bible class nearly 100 per cent. The
experiment has stirred up great deal
OF criticism, however, and the vicar
denies that he had any knowledge OF
the matter, 1t having been an expert
ment made by Mr.. Wilmont, the teach
er of the Bible class. While the boys In
this class. as q rule, were over 16 years
of age, there were a number of them
who we're not allowed to smoke, and the
parents Of these boys naturally serious
ly object to this new scheme of securing
better attendance in the Bible class.

LIBRARY MAY Be CLOSED
Institution is in Danger through
Lack of Funds.
CRISIS is N0W.APPROACHING
And Unless Provision is Made for Fixed
Charges the Doors Of the Building
win Be Locked.

At a meeting of the hoard of direct
ors of the public library last night,
action was taken of the utmost con-
Germ to the people oflMartinsburg. 1t
was decided to close the library on
the first day of January Enext, unless
in the meantime some provision can
be made for a permanent income sufh-
cient to pay fixed charges.
The Library association was organ.
lied in the winter of 1867. and the
library was opened to the public May
"a. 1897. 1t has been maintained BY
the annual dues of 81 from members.
and voluntary contributions. enter
tainments and bazars. At no time has
the amount received from the member
ship dues amou 1ted TO more than 1928
a year, and both the labor and ex
pense have fallen on small number.
comparatively, of the public. By this
me ans the work has been carried on
for seven years; but those in charge
have decided, after careful considera-
ton. that it cannot be- done on this
basis any longer.
This announcement will no doubt be
the cause of much regret. The library
during the past seven wears mas been
useful and popular institution. Its
equipment has ALWAYS been kept we'll
up to date, and the people, especially
the Young of the city and UNITY. have
been free to go at all times and obtain
books. The circulation of books has
been enormous. averaging about Is, 000
each wear, and inquiry of the libra
rian discloses the fact that there has
been constant increase in the num-
Der of readers and in the circulation.
This itself shows that it fills genuine
pnblicAneed.
That the library should be obliged
to close for want of public support
and appreciation seems incredible.
With public libraries being established
and maintained insneighboring cities.
it seems that such condition is not
creditable TO the city.
A permanent income of $500 wear
will; give even better service than has
been provided in the past. A book
loving community that believes in
education ought to be willing to pro-
vide for itself to this extent.
