Taken Nov. 20.

A tuberculosis Census of thous-
ands of churches in various parts of
the country will be taken up in Sep

census will be part of the prepare
ton for the Fifth Annual Tubercu-

the number of deaths from tubercu-
losis in the last year, the number of
living cases in their parishes on Sep
TENDER LIST, the number of deaths
from all causes. and the number of
members or communicates. These

educational campaign, which will
eliminate in the tuberculosis Day

be distributed free to ministers.
Last year nearly 10000 churches,
schools, and other bodies took part

over the country will work this year

The Boy Wonder.

About three years ago there was a
stir in educational and scientific
circl IS over William Sidis. 14-year-
old Boston boy. who easily solved
mathematical problems that
"stumped" many of the most ,expe-
rienced professors.
Young Sidis entered H ,rvard at
an age many years younger than any
previous applicant, and without sp-
parent effort distsnced his fell)w
students in languages and mathe
mates. So marvellous were his
achievements in the latter that pro-
fessors of mathematics from other
colleges and distant countries
jlurney II Boston TO interview him
and to witness some of his work.
The most abstrusa problems they
could concoct were submit ted to the
child, who solved them as readily ss
the average boy works his simple
arithmetic examples. Often young
Sidis used no penc or paper, but
made the solution m ,ntally.
He became proverb in all big
colleges, and his course through
Harvard has been watched with the
greatest interest and curiosity. He
has now graduated and is ready to
begin his life work, and the question
everywhere is: Wnat will his mar
velous mental gift avail him in the
struggle for livinR?-Com-Appeal

LordIing Love and Lady Fair.

A man is known by the company
he keeps; a woman by the company
she avoids.
A girl of twenty judges a married
man by his treatment of her; a girl
of thirty by the way he treats his
wife.
A woman may be a mystery to a
man and to herself. but never TO an
other woman.
Smart people never entertain an

to meet them.

Our Wise Legislators.

In view of the blundering of the first Alaska legis lative assem- bly. we wonder if the old, party politicians will have the gall to assert or even intimate, as they have done heretofore that-therSo~ Ialist working class candidates are not competent to per form the duties cf the offices to which they aspire? That legislature was composed mostly of business and professional men. all Democrats and Republicans, but no set of men from any walk of life could well have made a worse botch of a task they set out. to perform than thoselegislators did Prac- ticaIly the laws they passed, are dead letters for the reason that no provision was made for their enforcement. A notable eHcep- tion, however, to'this class is the law intended to provide for and govern the sale of real estate for delinquent taxes. There are means of enforcing this law, but it is so notoriously faulty that in
 all probability it will'bes set aside by the courts, and become dead one along with the others. Fair banks will likely have much req son to remember this law kindly and be greatly impressed. with the giant ability of those. who

know it is not high wages, and those out of job an d not kn ow ing where the next meal is,coin ing from will affirm that slit skirts and cigarettes do uot bo ther them much.
 There is only one cause of the ills that aflict society, aud it is the one that these capitalistic apologists fight shy of. It is the economic system wherein a few own the machinery of produc
 ion, and by means of that own ership are enabled to rob the toiling millions of 75 ! CT cent of the wealth they produce.
 Those millions of, workers get not to exceed twenty five per cent of the wealth they create while the comparatively few own CTS of the means of production get the rest. This accounts for the mountains of wealth on the one hand, and the abyss of pov erty on the other. Nothing else; :; and all those so called social pro b!ems flow from and are the out growth of poverty. Politicians, professors and reformers may patch and tinker till the crack of doom. but nothing. will help matters materially but the dis truction of capitalism, and tie substitution therefor of the CO., operative commonwealth,. giv ing the entire people free access to the means of life, whereby they will receive the full prodnct of their labor instead. of twenty five per cent of 1t.
The Socialist press., 1914-08-15

Speaking of laws passed by that legislature there is another one that so far as we know is en forceable and will stand up in the courts, but it isn't good for any thing except to give two or three men nice easy jobs. We refer to the mine inspection law. ] hat law is supposed to provide for the protection of men in the mines against injury through faulty timbering or otherwise, but little can be done in that di- rection under it. No matter what condition the inspectors find a mine in, no matter how. danger ous to life nd;limb,, they are un. ble to close it down until they have reported back to the gover- nor, and received his instructions to do so. In the meantime the mine can he operated~rig along with the miners exposed to it's dangers as if there were no law in existence for their protection.
 And we all know. what this 're-
 porting back to superiors means in official circles. It. usually re- suits in nothing at all being done. If sufficient Socialist. legislators are elected this fall to, control
 the next Assembly,, Alaska, will.
 have a mine inspection, law that
 will protect the miners, and not a chalk and-w ater affair gotten;ul
 to fool them.

Where The Trouble Is.

Everybody admits that the times are out of joint, that there is something wrong with tho economic and social arrange .nent of the world. War, crime. insanity and jmmorality are rampant, and poverty universa! and chronic.
 What is the cause ofaEl this in p world where man hasronQuer ed nature 10 such a degree as to make it possible to produce d. bundantly for every human be- ing in it, and here a!ping, throat cutting, eC>nomlc .cannl- balism or strife of any d~scrlp- ton is no longer necessary jn order that mankind may secure its every need. Prof. Taft says "God knows" PresiA Aeut Wilson says 1t is a matter of psychology. Jsmes J. Hill says the trouble is that too high wages are being paid, while the Presbyterian As sembly al recent meeting in Chicago goes on reco 'ra as say ing that slit skirts and cigarettes are mainly responsible for the dire conditions that oyerwhelm us.
 This is no foke, nut the above are the boiled down arrd real meaning of those quoted; and they are sample expressions of opinion from business, political, :, yrofessorial and ecclesiastical circles, and are such as en}an ate from the numerous organlza- lions that are gotten up for the supposed purpose of graphing with social problems and point ing out way for their solution. It would seem however, that all :ach people are bent on diverainG attention away from the real cause of our troubles, rather than trying to find and point 1t out, tn rough they make laugha- lie displays of assinity in do- ing so. As rule 1t is some silly and foolish suggestion as 10 sause. and all equally silly and foolish remedy that Is offered something that will nol in the least disturb or cnd.nger their comfortable positions on the backs of the workers To say that it is ignorance is giving them the best of it, bat whether i. is or not, tlIe sufferers from the conditions that these good people profess be trying to a. lnelioratc, know, whether God l does or not, that "Psycho'ogy" is not what ails them, an they !

FIGHT LASTS SEVEN HOURS

Germans Tell Of Defeating French at
Lagarde.
Berlin, via Copenhagen and London,
Aug. 18.-German wounded, who have
arrived here, tell of the battle at La
garde. The fighting lasted seven
hours under burning sun. The Ger
mans were opposed by far superior
forces, strongly intrenched. The Ger.
man artillery fire was brilliant, two
specially dangerous French batteries
being quickly taken.
The French occupied all the houses
and the church tower in the village,
whence they fired rifles and revolv-
ers. The third shell from the German
artillery demolished the church tow
er and the village was captured by
the Germans in flank attack, giving
the German cavalry a complete vic
tory. ..
The French fed, but many of their
men were taken prisoners.
