MINERS ATTENTION!

To The Miners and Commercial
Organizations in Alaska:
There are still many mines in
your district which are still unrepre-
santed by specimens in our mineral
exhibit. We earnestly desire 70
make this exhibit as complete as
possible for each region, in view of
the increasing number of visitors to
our rooms, seeking information
along these lines, and ask your aid
in accomplishing this. Specimens
from properties in process of de-
relopment will be equally accept
able as those from shipping mines.
The specimens should weigh from
to 10 pounds, so as to attract
attention and be wrapped in heavy
paper or sacking with label inside
showing name of the mine and
donor, so that due credit can be
given, and addressed to the Alaska
Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Com
merce, Seattle. If left at the Offices
of any of the steamship lines they
will be forwarded at our expense.
We need your assistance to do
Justice to the mineral resources of
Alaska.

could make his escape. In addition
Twenty tons of feed and various
equipment was totally consumed.

In speaking of the expected COM

In speaking of the expected COM
ing to the west and north of dis
tinguished government officials, a
recent issue of the Seattle Times
says:
Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin X. Lane and Senator Key Pitt
man, formerly grand Arctic Chief of
the Arctic Brotherhood, both of
whom did yeoman service in bring
ing about the passage of the Alaska
railroad bill, will be entertained by
the Arctic Club upon their arrival in
Seattle next summer.
Arrangements also are now
being made to entertain the Seattle
delegation to the national capital,
who assisted in having the Alaskan
| measure enacted into a law. The
entertainment for the Seattle dele
cation probably will take the form
of banquet and the date will be
set as soon as the time of arrival in
Seattle of Falcon Joslin can be
ascertained. President E. L. Web
ster wired Joslin to ascertain the
date of his arrival here
Secretary Lane and Senator Pitt
man probably will reach Seattle
about July 1, at which time, it is
expected, Congress will have ad-
journed. Secretary Lane, it is
learned from Washington, is arrang-
ing his Alaskan itinerary so as to
make the date of his departure from
Seattle early in July.
Being former Alaskan Sem
ator Pittman is extremely popular
with the members of the Arctic Club
and it was his northern experience
which gained for him the position of
chairman of the committee on tei-
ritories, which, by it's favorable
report, practically assured the pass
age of the Alaska railroad bill
through the upper branch of the
national legislature.
'Pittman is regarded as Alaska's
representative in the Senate When
he became a candidate for the office,
a number of Alaskans, mostly mem
bers of the Arctic Club, went TO
Nevada and did everything possible
to bring about his election. In
letter to Webster, Senator Pittman
says he expects to spend several
days in Seattle renewing acquaint-
ances with Northern friends

Acting Gov. Charles E. Davidson
has announced, in the absence of
Gov. J. F. A. Strong, that if it be-
came necessary that he would call
cut the Territorial militia and had
little doubt but that a full regiment
could be raised in Southeastern
Alasl alone. Fairbanks has an
organization of riflemen that have
kept up rifle practice for some time
but there has never yet been an
organized body of Territorial militia.
Under compiled laws of Alaska the
governor is made eX-officio COM
mander in chief of the Territorial
militia and has power to cause all
able-bodied citizens of the United
States in the territory to be enrolled
and serve as such when exigency
demands.

THE SIX AND SIX PLAN
 OF SCHOOL ORGANIZATION

Emphatic approval of the six-and- six'' plan of school organization urged by the Inland Empire Teachers Asso- citation at their Spokane meeting was expressed by Dr. P.P. CIaxton, Uni- ted States Commissioner of Educa- tion sI know of no valid reason for the present plan of eight and four years of school. 7 declared Dr. C1ax- ton. There should be six years of el- ementary school and six years Of high school, the high-school period being divided into two sections of three years each.
 There are many reasons for the change. Children 12 and 13 years old are at the beginning of the transition period between childhood ana youth
 they should not be kept doing elemen- ta.ry work. At present the pupils in most school systems mark time to a large extent through the 7th and sth grades. This is especiaIly true where the methods of the elementary schools are carried through these and the children are taught by women grade teachers With sixth-year elemen- tary school it would be easily possi- ble to promote the teachers with the children from grade to graS 2, thus gaining the large value that comes from teachers and children remaining together until the teacher knows the needs of the children, their strength. and their weakness, and can build in telligently on all the work of previous years
 Furthermore, to begin the high school with the seventh grade will make much easier the departmental work, which should begin at least this low down. It will also make it much easier to: begin work in such high school subjects as foreign Languages. constructive geometry, and real liter ature, at this point where they should be begun. The study of languages, especially of modern languages, should be begun in a practical way before children have passed the time wheE they can learn in this way. This plan will also make it possible to i'm troduce manual training, domestic science, and various forms of voca- tiona1 work two years earlier than they are now begun.
 Our secondary school work is now at a great disadvantage as compared with the work done in the Gynasien and Realschulen in Germany, the Lycees of France, and the so-called public schools of England. By g1v- ing six years to the high school, the boys and girls who go to college may easily have on admission to college, a much larger amount of mathematics, languages, and other subjects than they-now have feel quite sure that by an arrangement of this kind and 8. little more care in the preparation and se- lection of teachers you may gain for most ehildren two years in the twelve,
 The division of the high school in- to two sections of three years each will make easier 8 second differentia- ton of work at the end of the first three high-school years.
 At present only about one fourth of the children enter the high school

The ballots were given to persons outside of the voting places Ballots already marked were in some eases handed to voters, sometimes within the voting place.
 No booths were provided in which the voter might mark his ballot ALONE, and ire quently several persons had to mark their bal lots at the same time, by laying them against the wall of the voting enclosure.
 IN MANY CASES PERSONS IMPUDENTLY OBSERVED THE MANNER IN WHICH THE VOTER MARKED HIS BALLOT, AND EVEN COMMENTED UPON HIS ACTION
 Tn all of these respects and in many, more the secrecy Of the election was ovefthrown, and >fhe protection which generations of men have laboriously built up about the ballot box was oyerthrown
 An election produced in this manner must not be permitted to stand unchallenged
 Millions of bonding proposals are in the background, and these also may be. hustled through, if elections can be controlled by those who favor bonding, with no secrecy in tIfe bal lot, So that the power of an administration may mark those who vote adversely, and note from time to time how the vote is proceeding.
 Considering the election as an informal ballot, it shows marked public sentiment in favor of $S0,0oO with which to complete the High school and for the. Stratford avenue bridge. % 5 So far as the other results are concern ed. the difference in the vote may be taken to repre- sent the strength of a powerful political machine running an election without the usual Esafeguards. opposed by the unorganized public.
 Whether or not these particular bonds is sue is ali unimportant question, when meas |4lred against the future, THERE MUST BE NO MORE ELECTIONS LIKE THAT OF SATURDAY..

INDUSTRIAL WAR

KKtT ERE NOT THE American people anx-
 WV ious over the situation on the Southern border, the armed conflict in Colo rado would be seen in nearer it's true propor-# lions. It is far more ominous than Mexico.
 The latter is merely an annoying external
 trouble It is 8 problem that our people can
 well solve in due time. The bloody hostility growing up between classes at home signifies internal disease.
 Conflicts like those in Colorado and West
 Virginia are often called industrial war; This seems rather unfair to war in which the bat |tle is conducted with regard to certain rules adopted by civilized states. Non -combatants lare not to be interfered with, and needless des- ltruction of pBoperty is stopped. Tn these la bor conflicts, tender women and little children are victims.
 It is of little use to discuss which side is in the wrong. Where there is such wild pas sion, both sides may be error. Shall not the public, weary Of this frightful economic waste. demand some better machinery for stopping these class conflicts, which increase the living lcosts to the whole country?
 Is there not quite as much reason for inter- vening to stop this senseless loss there is in intervening to stop the folly of the Mexican lconflict?s Are our industrial forces displaying any more common sense in their warfare than the Mexicans whom we revile as sgreasers?'' No industry survive the competition of the 2Oth century unless it is organized on tbasis of industrial harmony. The country is full of industries in which employer and em- IpIoyed live and let live. The way to peace can be found wherever there is some disposition to compromise, and to see things from the other
 mans point of view.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-05-04

 The compulsory school age in most states corresponds quite closely with the elementary school period. Parents and children are thereby confirmed in the idea that the elementary educa- ton is all that is needed. Besides, the break between the elementary school and the high school at this time suggests leaving school and makes 1t easier. If the: break came at 12 or 13. the great majority of children would be in the high school, doing high-schoo1 work under high school conditions, and probably much larger proportion of them would con- tinue in school than under present conditions
 The Inland Empire Teachers asso- ciation, which adopted the resolution fayoring the new plan, enrol1s about 2,0o0 teachers from the states of Washington. Oregon Idaho and Mon tana. The resolution passed unani- mously.

if the Louisville meeting indicates

that their action forecasts a split Of
serious propositions in that party,
with large element remaining ont
OF the convention. ii it ever is held.
The lesson is one that should
prove very valuable to the Demo-
cratic party at this particularly time,
when a voice is being raised at sew
eral points in the State for an early
convention in advance Of the August
primary election. To the fellow who
knows the game and the earmarks
Of politics, it Is easy to see the
source from which this advice is be-
ing given to the Democratic hosts.
Plainly, it is coming from the same
brain that Matched the scheme that

carry out within the Republican
party, and it is being disseminated
through the same organs that have
been used heretofore for the pur-
pose of making sentiment for the

At this time the parry has at its

htical and the party committees are
made up OF men Of good Judgment
and political sagacity. They know. by
experience, that convention be-
forehand was inadvisable four year,
ago, when the Democracy won such a
splendid victory, and they know
that the voters OF the Democratic
party can be trusted to so to the
POLLS next August and, free and un-
trammeled, select ticket Of men
who can win in November. At this
distance it looks as if the wisc>t
thing the Democratic party can do
Is to sit steady and watch this Ne
CullOugh play to conclusion. Then
hold It's platform convention after
the August primary.
