AN INCoNCLuslv~ CONCLUSION

The Juneau Dispatch Of recent date in commenting edtorally upon the Attorney Generals definition of what constitutes territory and its authority the certain conclusion that nothing short of state hood with its incidental power extricate the Alas kans from the tangle of uncertainties in the enactment of laws for guidance, and quotes the Attorney Generals definition of territory tolows
 During their pupilage territories, they are de pendencies of the United States.
 Their people do not constitute soverigne power. All political authority exercised by them derived from the general government. territorial law therefore is without force or effect if it conflicts with the federal statute unless the enactment has been authorized by Congress"

LOVE OF ANIMALS A REFINING INFLUENCE

Among the many movements of our time there Is none of which the value less appreciated than that of animal protection Whoever has watched animals closely and impartialy must be convinced that they stand in much spiritual relation to us than the majority of people suspect. Not only on account the animals themselves is their protection urgently necessary but also as q to raise the whole hu- moral
 It is extremely foolish to neglect their protection on the ground that the welfare of is neces- sary than that of animals. The care of animals is not at all antagonistic the of men, but is on the contrary the noblest way of helping mankind; it from sinking into brutality. Cruelty to animals is one of the mainsprings of barbarity and the encouragement of their protection is of the most important of raising the popular stand ard of Weekly Unity

WHAT PREPAREDNESS MEANS,

The trouble with the pacifists is
that they suffer from a confusion Of
ideas. They fail 10 distinguish be-
tween miltarism and preparedness.
because militarism teaches that
might Is rIght ana because militar7,
ism means preparedness for war and
a desire for war paeifists argue that
preparedness IS The same as mllitar-
ism, aud that those who favor an ade-
qnate army and navy for purposes
Of DEFENSE nre really disciples of the
doctrine OF blood and iron as the SUI
preme force In the world,
It is the motive IN preparedness
that makes the difference between
preparedness for aggression and pre-
noredness for defense The fact
that an army and navy may be used
for purposes OF conquest does not
mean also that an armX and navy
equally as strong may not be neees-
sary for the preservation Of the rights
81 the people OF nation.
The confusion as TO the good and
evil purposes 10 which an army and
navy may be put has been explain
ed by General Horace Porter in the
new official organ OF the Navy League
OF the United states as follows:

the evening, more likely he went 10
bed soon after dark and did all his
reading by daylight. He had never
seen a house lighted by Illuminating
gas. The arc and incandescent elect
rio lights were not TO be invented for
nearly half century.
If he had ever heard of electricity.
he thought Of 1t as the mysterious and
dangerous fluid that strikes from the
clouds during a thunderstorm. That II
could be harnessed to do a mans will
had never occurred to him.
He had never heard the clicking of
n telegraph sounder. The telephone
would have seemed as wonderful to
him as a voyage to the moon. Motion
pictures would have reminded him of
black art and the idea that machine
could be invented whereby a man
would fly above the clouds like a bird,
would have seemed TO him merely abb
surd.
The modern printing press, the
linotype machine, which seems almost
20 think, the X-ray by means Of which
surgeons may diagnose disease and
injury and lay out their work with
scientific certainty, these things were
yet to be invented long after the auto
mobile now so common that they
cover the streets and roads of all the
world
He could not dream that cannon
would be made to throw projeetile
more than twenty miles, that repeat
ing rifles, revolvers and machine
guns would be invented. that steel
monsters Of the deep would speed in
visible Under the seas with the power
70 send a giant ocean liner to the bot
tom with a matter Of moments.
He lacked the Imagination to see
all the thousands and tens OF thous-
ands Of Comparatively small inven-
tlons that have come into being since
his day, some of them for good and
some for evil. but all telling story
of progress of one sort or another.
Probably in this he did not differ
from most of his fellowmen in his day
1t ia likely most of his friends agreed
with him that the limit of invention
had been reached.
He seems unfortunately deficient in
imagination and in optimism, as we
read Of his letter of resignation in the
musty files of the patent office But
let us not take too much JUNCTION to
our souls. We are as ignorant of
what the next eighty years may bring
forth as he was of the future of Amer

JUSTICE TO Tnn WAR RABIES.

Tho good bishop Of London ex-
presses himself az shocked by the
crop of war babies beginning 10 APP
pear in all parts OF the United King
dom. There must be many facts In
life that shock the bishop. How
much the bishop is shocked IL unim-
portnnt compared with the question
Of how much the war babies are to
be relieved from shame not OF their
own making and contumely which Is
not their rghtful heritage.
War babies are crop which each
bellgerent nation will harvest In its
own manner, What Is the Christian,
the enlightened sociological manner
may be a matter Of doubt But sure
Is II is neither Christian nor enllght-
dned. IN fact It is heathonish and stu-
pid, to put the burden OF shame up
on an illegitiinate child.
TO argue that unless we do SO, we
do not make illeeitimacy odious and
hence encourage union outside of
wedIock. Is absurd The cause, not
the result. Is blamable. For what
ever wrongs they have committed,
the parents of these war babies will
be punished AZ kipling has put H..
"Tho sins We do by two and two,
We pay for, one by one"
But no child can be odious or
blamable The social fallacy aud
the legal injustice lie In visiting upon
the child the penalty of the Illicit
union OF its parents, Such penalty,
falling upon an innocent third party
and after the offense, does not In any
degree operate to dimin-
ish the number of offenses. Where
the penalty or the obligation should
fan Is upon the father. This would
be social justice.
Injustice TO the child does not
punish the offenders. But no child
is an offense against society BECAUSE
OF the fact that his parents have sin
