BRAVE GIRL LIVES ALONE
IN SAGE BRUSH WASTES
Miss Hadeen Takes Up a Homestead
claim-Nearest Neighbors Are One
Mile Away.

Green Lake, Wash, Aug. 3l.-Miss
Anna Hadeen, who until recently lived
in this place, now resides in a lonely
homestead in the dreary wastes of the
sage brush country of eastern Washing
ton She left the city to make her home
on a claim in Douglas county, about
twenty-five miles south of Quincy, and
mile from the Columbia river.
In that country, with nothing to
break the weary sameness of the land
scape or relieve the monotony of the
interminabe stretches of sage brush and
dusty. sandy ground, this dauntlcss
Swedish girl expects to live for at least
the next five years.
When Miss Hadeen took her claim
last spring she expected her brother to
get the one adjoining, owing to pre-
vious filing. Nothing daunted, and know
ing the conditions she would have to
meet, Miss Hadeen determined to hold
her claim, even with the prospect OF
being alone.
A brother has gone with her to build
house and see her comfortably settled.
Her nearest neighbors will be Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lind, her cousins, living near
ly mile away.

cautions in the form of fre-alarms
and wide exits in school houses gen
orally are surely within the reach
of the Capital Of the United States.
The total-$61s, 0O0-is large. But
Congress must consider it not only
as a present outlay required for the
safety of our children, but as the
direct consequence of appropria-
lions made during the past twenty
years on a scale which makes the
exposure of children a sure result.
1t is the penalty of niggardliness.
The time has come to pay the
reckoning. Let us whose children
are in the schools pray it is not
too late to pay it in money.
In the meantime this report
clears the Board of Education of
responsibility either for the prac-
tice of the past or the possibility
of future consequences. 1t reEains

The Fleet to Australia.

The full significance Of the visit
of the American battle feet to Aus
traTa, instead of Japan, seems to
be more fully appreciated in Europe
than here. The significance of the
deIicacies and balances of interna-
tionaI courtesies and attentions,
Sights and snubs, is more thor
oughly realized in Europe, where
every move has a relation to world
politics. Because it has had small
need to study these things the
United States isn't exactly in posi-
ton to realize all that is involved
in the order to the feet to visit
Australia and stay away from
Japan.
Japan knows what it means, how
ever. 1t means that the American
fleet viii carry greetings to the two
great British colonies in which the
menace or oriental immigration is
regarded as a grave situation. Can
ada and Australia, like the United
States, are big, rich, new, inviting
countries, full of opportunity and
room for expansion. Japan and the
rest of the oriental world is begin
ming to reach out for more land.
Everywhere the Caucasian enters
protest against the immigration of
the Asiatic races. In Germany, east
Africa, in the Transvaal, in AUS
tralia, New Zealand, Canada, Cali
fornia-everywher it is the same.
The feet will be greeted in Aus
tralia as the earnest of the United
States sympathy with Australians
struggle for a white Australia. The
enthusiasm of that greeting will be
proportionate to the eagerness of
the Australian people for assurance
of sympathy and protection. The
demonstration viii be a notice to
London and all Britain that the col
onies cannot be snubbed in this
matter of their sentiment about the
menace Of slopping-over oriental
ism. The japanese alliance is a Sc
curity and a convenience to Britain,
but the colonies are not to be for
gotten.
The trip to Australia will be en-
tightening TO both Japan and Brit
ain. It viii do much to assure the
peace of the Pacific for years to
come, because it viii suggest how
strong are the bonds between the
new Anglo-SaEon nations which
border on the Pacific.

STUDENT BODY STRIKES
At STANFORD UNIVERSITY

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 10
Unless stanford University students
moderate their demands on the faculty
there will be a general strike at Palo
Alto. and the professors will lecture
only TO women. Trouble has arisen
from the suspension of twelve students
VINO took part in the demonstration
against the rule prohibiting the use Of
liquor on the campus.
About 800 students last Thursday
night Joined in a parade, marched
through the library. and held an in
dignation meeting in the quadrangle,
where resolutions were adopted pro-
testing against the obnoxious rule
Prof. Clark and his associates on the
students affairs committee then sus-
pended a dozen students, several Of
whom are athletes. Announcement OF
this action was made last night and
created a sensation. A mass meeting
was held and a petition for reinstate-
ment of the men suspended w2s drawn
I'D and signed by go men who partici-
pated in the parade.
The signers declared they we're equal
" guilty with the men punished, and
asked that the victims be reinstated or
the entire number punished in the same
way. A second petition was signed by
all the students. and asked that the
men be reinstated. If the faculty re-
fuses the students declare not a man

The Price of False Economy.

Complying with a request from
the District Commissioners as well
as with its own sense of public
duty, the Board of Education has
prepared for the District building
and Congress a statement of the
money needed to make the public
schools reasonably secure from fire
The estimate does not contemplate
the substitution of fire-proof build
ings for structures of timber and
plaster, although so much might
well have been covered by the
phrase reasonably secure from
fire" It embraces only these three
items:
Replacing wooden stairways with
iron and slate-S150, 600.
Building four four-room and one
twelve-room fire-proof building for
manual training to replace combus-
tible buildings now rented-s36s,O 900.
Installing fire-alarms, providing
additional exits, repairing wood
work, and other general fire protec-
tion-S1OO,O 600
Evidently the rented buildings
used for manual training were Sc
gregated from the rented buildings
used for class rooms because the
presence OF engines and machinery
in the former make fire much more
likely than in the latter. With this
understanding it would seem the
board has not recommended too
much. Fire-pToof stairways, safe
guards against machinery in con-
verted dwellings, and needed pre-

Three of a Kind.

Congress raised the pay Of its
own members on the ground that
the cost of living has advanced, and
that the old wage is not now COM
paratively so high as when it was
fixed.
Congress is now arranging to in
crease the pay of the army and
navy on the same grounds.
Both advances are abundantly
justified. But Congress should not
forget that the executive depart
ments of the Government as we'll as
the legislative department and the
armed service have to combat the
advance in the cost Of living and a
corresponding decrease in q wage
fixed thirty-five years ago.
