have been accomplished by the various
labor organizations in the past.
Trade unions have grown ana pros

Long suffering and tolercnt as are the American people. a private mono- poly of the only agency that promises a cure for cancer is more than they will patiently endure.
 Evidence of an attempt to control the output of radium is sufficient req son for the government to seize and hold all radium- bearing lands. As well grant . charter to wrecking company to patrol the coasts and tiarRe wreck victims ten dollars apiece for seats in lifeboats as to per init greed to step in between the suf- ferers from this dreadful scourse and the newborn hope of rescue.
 The records of the New York health department show that in 1913 there were s,s26 deaths from cancer. an in- treAse of 2s1 over those of lslz anu oi s6l over those of 1911.
 With the disease progressing Al such g fearful rate 1t takes on the na- lure of 6 catastrophe. in the face or which emergency methods become im- Lerative.
 Congress has already been inform ..J by men whose word is unquestion- ed. by the most conservative scien- lists. that radium is the only known IT cans of fighting the disease, anu that there is solid basis for the beiief mat in many cases cancer can oe eradicated by the mysterious emon- Iations from the new element. Perhaps, as yet. there is no abso- lute proof of the existence of radiun' {, ust. But past experience demon strates that the prospect of great gains will wither many a conscience and if radium is not controlled by ,be government 1t will soon be con- .r lied by private monopilists who will exact heavy tribute from rich victims of cancer and leave the poor victims to die the lingering "e"'" '''' always accompanies 1t.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 2s, 1914

President Wilson has finally taken things in his own hands and ordered the federal troops into the Colorado ccal fields.
 It Is to be hoped, as 1t is expected. that we will soon hear the last of battles between laborers and mine owners in that section of the country. Hut to check the disturbance by merely overpowering the strikers by superior force or by disarming and scattering the armed guards and gun- men of the mine owners is but to temporize with one of the most seri- GUS evils which has ever cursed this country-a condition of slavery which the large minc owners arc trying to fasten upon its employees. The condi- ticns which have been shown to exist ir West Virginia. Michigan and Col orado must be changed. Either by national legislation or by the slow rrocess of evolution or the more rapid one of revolution. The large mine operators are now carrying and nour- ishing the germ which will in time b4 their distraction. The moral sense of the nation is being stirred an'l when once aroused will visit just ret ribution upon those mine owners who for dollars would sacrifice the lives Of u ousands of the American people.
 It is when property Is being de- stroyed and lives Me being sacrificed that the government is compelled to interfere, not necessarily against the strikers more then against the mine owners. but in the interests of the whole people of the country When property Is being destroyed by an or sanixed body of men. and violence becomes common. the property own- sr has a visible tangible thing upon which to fall back upon and demand protection. which the general safety If society demands that he shall re- ceive. But the more subtle and in- n'dious warfare carried on against the laboring classes. just as destruc- tive of their rights and liberties. q not more so. than Is that of the de- struction of property of the mine owner is coming gradually to occupy the attention of the thinking world and a rsvsrsai of opinion is apparent throughout the world. and largo cor porats bodies must soon find that ttelr methods must not only be made 10 conform to law. but to strict prin' cipies of what l. right. judged by ths moral sense of justice of the wholt psopls.

Quainted while. on the Mount Kenia
trip, was not a professional elephant
hunter. nevertheless he had killed sew
eral elephants on Kilimanjaro. Once
by mistake he shot and wounded a
COW elephant that ran some distance
before falling. On oYertaking her he
found that she had fallen in kneel-
ing position. A little calf was pinned
under her knee by leg that was driT-
en- deep into the soft earth. a close
examination of the route over which
the old elephant had passed failed to
reveal any of the little ones tracks.
This, together with the fact that the
calf was not hitherto seen and the Pc
culiar manner in which it lay, might
be taken as proof that the mother was
carrying it in her trunk. or perhaps
resting it on her tusks, with her trunk
holding it in position.-Outing
