The temper of public opinion is such that to attempt the first named method would very likely prove abortive. With it eliminated the leasing plan only is less, and t has been accept ed by the Administration. The re- suit will be that the lands will be made available or those who will work them.
 The Nickersham amendment to the leasinn bill, referred to in Sat urday's dispatches, should be adopt ed. It is designed to permit peo- pie to obtain title to the lands in the interior and elsewhere in Al aska that contain Ignite and other inferior coals which cannot become a factor 'u the channels of general commerce but may become valuable for local development, and to per init those who discover and develop new coal fields to obtain ownership of them under the laws as they now are. The acceptance of this amendment would serve to make available the lower grade coals wherever they could be utilized, pre- vent a repetition of the injustices and waste caused by he eight years delay that resulted from Roose- velt's high handed withdrawal ord CTS and the Taft policy of procras- tination aud inefticiency, and offer inducements to others to prospect for more coal lands and more re- sources that may be capable of de- velopment.

DUTY YOU ONE
 YOUR TOWN

Copyrighted. 1914, by Thomas J. sullivan.l Duty is a power that rises with us in the morning and goes to rest with us at night. It is cOeXtenSive with the action of our intelligence. It is the shadow which cleayes to us, go where We will.
 Let us do our duty in our shop or kitchen, in the market, the street, the office, the farm, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in the front ranks of some great battle and knew that victory for mankind de- pended upon our bravery, strength and skill.
 When we do that the very humblest of us will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world.
 A Dollar Lost.
 It should be the slogan of every rural consumer never to send away for goods that be can just as we'll buy at home. Every time you send dol lar to a mail order house that dollar, as far as you and your community are concerned, Is practically out of circu- lation. ..,- ..-,
 Your own home merchant is the one who helps to keep up your schools, your churches and your town. He is the one who deserves your trade and not some catalogue house in Chicago or elsewhere. -sr.--... ....... .....
 Goods on Unsecured Promises.
 When you have nothing to give in exchange, to whom do you go for ac- commodationS until some uncertain time when you can pay?
 Do you not always find your home merchant ready and willing to let his goods go on promises, not guaranteed notes, but verbal promises, trusting to your honesty and good luck In meeting the obligation later?
 How many farms have been paid for by your merchants advancing both the goods necessary to keep life in the body and cash to meet that dreaded interest on the mortgage?
 Under the same conditions would the farmer trust the merchant for months and months, with the produce of his farm, or would he ask for cash or its equivalent upon delivery of the goods?. .-
 Not a Robber or Cheat.
 We know that the average consumer does not feel that his local merchant is
The daily Alaskan., 1914-03-09

a rObber or cheat; but. like all nu- mankind. the catalogues and prices of mail order houses appeal to him, and be forwards his order and cash with out considering the injustice he is do ing himself, his merchant and his home town.
 The catalogues os the mail order house are illumiued with pictures to catch the eye of the unwary. They range in complexion from a brunette banana to a blond canary bird They offer to sell yOu anything from a phi losopher's stone to a cypress shingle sawed out of a sunbeam.
 Cash Versus Credit,
 It seems unbelievable. but it is nev- ertheless a fact showing the entire lack of any sense of justice, that many people regard their local stores as merely institutions of accommodation. When these people have cash to spend 1t goes to the faraway mail order houses. but when times are dull, when they are sick or out of work or during the season when farmers are not turn ing their produce into cash, what do they do2 Do they write to the cata- logue house and ask for credit?
 If they did do you think they would get 1t? Not on your life! Those con- cerns must have cash, must have 1t in advance, must have it before you can even see the goods you buy. The con- sumer sends his money and then sits down and waits until the mail order house gets good and ready to fll his order.
 But when home people want credit or faYors of any kind they hustle off to their home merchant. very Obliging- ly order what they want and tell him to charge it. expecting him to wait at least from one to six months for his pay.
 Dealing With Neighbors.
 In buying from your home merchants you deal with neighbors. Buy with goods before you. Pay when you get the goods if you so elect. Have goods delivered free. Return goods if not satisfactory. Build up your home store
 Help build up your own home town and make of yourself a man worthy of your day and time Every man should take pride in being a good American citizen. and we believe most men do and that most men are. or at least de sire to be. but what kind of citizen Is the man who supports an octopus? Should he not be placed in a class with the man that knocks his own business? That sort Cf man is invari. ably neither good neighbor nor good citizen.

Wilson Asks Newspaper
Writers For Fair Deal

Washington, d. c., March 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson revealed his human side
to-day in confidential talk with the
National Press Club. The occasion
was the "housewarming" of the club
on the opening OF its, new home.
1t was just an intimate picture of
himself that the Chief Executive drcw
for the newspaper men. He expressed
the opinion that he must be some kind
OF fraud since the many articles he
had read about himself. He also
gently chided those who pictured him
as cold and reserved and declared that
no matter what might be said he had
emotions.
The President told of the high re-
sponsibilities of his office and the
many duties he felt it imposed upon
him.
He declared he was trying hard not
to make any blunders and asked for
fair deal
Il am trying to give the best that is
in me-" continued the President; that
is all can do"
The President put himself i'm the
same category as the National Museum
and the Monument saying that every
one who visits Washington has to be
shown the President
The frksomeness of his position he
best described when he said:
IF | could disguise myself and not
get caught | would go out and be q
free American citizen and have jolly
good time. Then / might meet some
of you gentlemen and tell you what
really thought"

TO RETAIN B MILL
: RATE FOR SCHOOLS
OF CITY DISTRICT
Verbeke School to Be Opened
After Several Weeks Quaran-
tine on Monday Morning

Harrisburg's school tax rate for
I9l4-15 will likely be retained at the
present flgure-eight mills.
The rate will be fixed at the meet
Ing April when the budget will be
presented and it is believed that the
expenditures can be kept down to
such figure as to keep within the
present millage. The largest item will
be the construction of the Allison Hill
grade school at Sixteenth and Cath
crime streets. This will not be more
than $4,000.
AT the same time April 3. the
board will award contracts for build
ing and furnishing the building. The
proposals were considered last even
ing as follows:
The Emery Company, Philadelphia,
offered to do the work for $66,4O1.
NJ. II. Baker was the lowest bidder for
installing heating and ventilating at
81 1913; Eugene j. Fogarty was low
bidder for the plumbing at $3,84s; E.
Blumenstine, of this city, offered to
do all the necessary electrical work at
$1,7O5 for modern vacuum cleaner,
M. Fl. Baker bid $3.50.
Following a conference last even
ing by members of the city board OF
health and the school board, 1t was
decided by the school authorities to
reopen and fumigate the Verbeke
street school building Monday morn
ing. The school has been closed down
for several weeks because of quaran-
tine.
Application for the supervisorship
of the schools was made last evening
by M. II. Thomas and S. B. Stam-
baugh, principals of two of the citys
grade schools who are among the old
est in point of service. They wish to
succeed DIR. L. S. Shimmell, who died
a week or 80 ago.

Belfast, Ireland, March 21.-Ulster

great animation among the Ulster vot-

Throughout the province a feeling
of intense excitement prevailed and
everybody seemed waiting in anxious
expectation for something to occur

Belfast displayed considerable ac-
tivity. Two torpedo boat destroyers,
the Pathfinder and the Attentive, ar
rived there this morning from Kings
town and landed five officers and $50
men of the Yorkshire regiment at Car
rickfergus Castle.
Within twenty-four hours over 5000

INCREASE OVER 1912 SHOWN

age of Production Lower
BY Associated Prefs

Washington, March 21.-The year
1918 was more fatal for coal minere
In the United States than the preced-
ing twelve months. A report Issued
to-day by the Bureau Of Mines showed
an Increase of fatalities of 425 over
1912 and twelve deaths for every
working day in the year. In the army
of 728,355 underground workers, g.
78b perished, fatality rate Of 3.S2 In
every thousand men employed as COM
pared with 1927 in 1912.
Six. thousand more men were en-
ployed in 1913 and the increase in
production was between thirty million
and forty million tons.
DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, director Of
the bureau, in commenting upon the
record for the year, said:
An examination of the statistics
develops the disappointing fact that
In our coal mining operations during
1913, there were killed 425 more men
than during 1912. This Is an increase
of Is per cent in fatal accidents with
an increase of only about eight per
Pcent in coal production.
1--WE can find little comfort In the
suggestion that this increase may in
part be accounted for by the occur
renee during 1913 of four large mine
explosions. The statistics show an in
crease in fatalities during 1918 from
all the underground causes except
mine fires and surface accidents.
Progress in Safety
Some progress has been made,
however, in the safety movement as
shown by the statistics for the last
eight years. In the four years end
ing December 81, 1909. the average
death rate was S.97 for each 1000
men employed.
In the last four years the rate was
3.68.
ut is unfortunate that the safety
inquiries and Investigations by the ma
tional government upon which so
much depends, have Jagged so far be-
| mind the needs OF the industry and
public demands. 1t is hoped that this
situation may be remedied at an early
date" fs. t

number of deaths occurred we're:

gained without resistance and with
scarcely the sound of a shot to check

Within Torreon all was comparatively
quiet and none in the rebel camp knew
what preparations Gen. Velasco was
making to repel the attack of the
