We are n people i'm the cer-
tain grip of wave of con-
servation. Our principal eff
forts are being directed to-
ward the conservation of nat
ural resources--forests, min
erals, animals and water pow
err.
Would IL not be well to turn
attention to the conservation
of humanity, for whose pres
ent state of degeneracy and
helplessness we alone are
responsible?
Would il not be i'm keep
ing with our present civilian
ton and position among the
humanitarian races of the
world to extend to the strug-
Cling Alaskan Indian the
helping hand?
Maj. Gen. A. ". Greeley,
U. s. A. in his Handbook of
Alaska" written i'm 1900,
says: ''This is not the place
TO tell the story of the Alas
kan natives, which, i'm its
totality, can only be viewed as
disgraceful to a nation claim
ing to be civilized, humanitar-
ian or Christian"
The Times has procured
several articles dealing with
the condition of the Alaskan
Indian. They will appear ex-

enough pressure to bear on con-
gress so the scheme will be sue

To accomplish this, mailing cir

The movement has been en-
dorsed by organizations in Cali

Women are weary to death of
walking through the valley of
the shadow to secure food for
cannon" declared Mrs. Garbutt.
1.-THE army absorbs the flower
of our manhood to cast it back
broken, diseased, unfit to perpet-
uate the race, with habits that
are vicious. The war spirit is OPP
posed to the spirit of creative la
Dor, it makes for arbitrary au-
thority as against individual de-
velopment.
In addition to all this, tc for
tify the canal Is to invite attack,
since the ethics of War-eyen war
has ethics-provide that no un-
fortified harbor may be attacked
during hostilities.
"The women of America want
the Panama canal to stand a mon
ument to the brotherhood of man,
we want the ships of all nations
to pass through it on the bust
ness of life, not death; and we
want the statue there to admon-
ish all men that the great god
Mars is dead"

easy enough to have cured her.

Well, what did it matter? Who
would care?

science when one of the wolves in

economy of the land poor little
Yeddy occupies a place on par

times hat the wolf gets more pro-

after 1t had been pointed out that 1t
would not preclude conferences,
In furtherance of the policy Of
omy Chairman Godfrey suggested that
steps be taken to obtain from the
various departments, notably the STATE
board of assessors, all the data and
Information they have without cost,
The surveys and maps of the assessor,
he thought, would be of particular
value.
1t was just prior to the meeting Of
the commission that 1t became known
that Attorney General Wilson, a mem
Der of the former commission, had
made up his mind not to serve on the
new commission.
Although any authoritative an
n~ouncement Of the attorney generals
action was withheld for the time In
the hope that be might be Induced to
alter his decision, the report was con
firmed In such a manner as to leave
no doubt Of its accuracy. The COVER
nor e~ndeavored to reach the attorney
general by telephone prior to the time
for the commissions meeting.
There was also Il report current that
the governor was having difficulty In
securing the services OF the men he
wanted on the commission, and 1t was
limited that other threatened with
