VERY DEAR TO HER

A Douglas woman, whose name we will not betray, other than to say that she was born in France or perhaps in Italy, and since coming to Alaska has not entirely mastered the English language, engaged 8 carpenter to do some work for her at a stipulated price. She was surprised later to find that he charged more than the price agreed upon. When she attempted to re- monstrate her English failed and she said :: "You are dearer to me now than when we were first engaged .'-Douglas Island News.

JAMES BERNARD SHAW
 ON WARS SETTLEMENT

NEW YORK, Nov 2S.-George Bernard Shaw, the English writer, says:
 This war of nations makes the United States allimportant When peace comes 1t will not be arranged by councils sitting around drum. Instead there must be a world conference, with the President of the United States in the chair. To that con ference England will of course, come bleat- ing. But when France has lost the eight billions loaned to Russia, when the czar's government is bankrupt, when English credit is desperately shaken and German industries are wrecked, the United States can push forward unburdened. Americans will be the leaders of tomorrow. For Europe must now breed from the men of the last reserve"

to me like those who play the re
ligious issue have overp1ayed their
hand by injecting it into the present
school fight While those who are
leading this fight upon the teachers
organizations are too foxy to bring
it into the open, most everybody will
agree that they had hoped to win on
this issue, and why shouldn't they?
1t was put over last spring, but if l
have it sized up correctly they will
have to drag out another of their fool
ers (they have lots of them) the next
time they want to put something
over
To lend support to the attack on
the teachers is to play into the hands
of Big Biz. Scarcely any one would
believe that the teachers are organ
lied solely for other peoples benefit,
but of all the arguments have heard
and read no one has attempted to
show that they were not always on
the job in behalf of the school chill
dren and the public. The mere fact
that the manufacturers assn has en-
dorsed the attack on them should be
sufficient to convince even those
blind with religious prejudice that it
is nothing more than an attempt by
big business and taxdodgers to put
these progressive organizations out
of business because of their showing
them up. ....-
The Day Book is to be commended
for its attitude toward the teachers
and for refusing to look at the relf-
gious side of this question seriously.
If our public schools are being used
to furter the interests of some relig-
ious organization, as some contend,
it should be made known and OPP
posed, but this is not the way to go
about it. My observation is that those
of the rank and file who are most &C
tive in opposing religious oppression
do so, not because they object to any

cago today is not what it was years
ago, l am sure. The people of yes
terday who went as a matter of in
terest and curiosity to visit the
ghettos of this city have entirely van
ished and are replaced by persons or
lesser respect for mankind with its
race elements.
l am a resident of the Jewish
ghetto, bounded on the west by Hal
sted street and on the east by Jeffer-
son street Within that territory one
can view the hardships of those poor
people who conduct business on
carts and cry out their wares from 5
o'clock in the early morning until
o'clock in the evening, paying the
market master remuneration of 10
cents for any available space their
little wagons occupy. 1t is a strive
on their parts to earn an honest ivli-
hood, and they are often made the
targets for ignorant, non-thinking
sight-seekers, who pass them by in
their callosal automobiles merely to
ridicule them and theirs.
Jews who from generation to gen.
Grafton found persecution in their ma
tive land have settled here in several
classes. Some have proven more
successful than others, but all are of
good material and fine caliber in all
respects.
How humiliating it really is to
those who are able to ride through
the market, to pass the aforesaid
class and joviaIly humble under their
breath in prejudice, with no real rea-
son for such display of ignorance

material control they seek over us.
1t should be opposed, but it is as moth
ing compared to our social and indus
trial ills, and those who benefit get
away with it by pointing out the in
justice done by the church or some
body else, and thereby distract atten-
ton from their own acts. The sup
port given the teachers looks en-
couraging and leads me to believe
that labor is beginning to see, through

ING JOURNAL. According to your
paper the Cubs of Delaware City de-
feated the St. Georges team on LAST
Saturday by the score of Q TO in a
ten inning game. This is a false
statement because in reality the st.
Georges team defeated the Cubs by
the score of to 6 in a ten-inning
game. I also wish to state the
score was TO in favor Of the Cubs
when st. Georges~came to hat in the
final half of the ninth inning. The
home team tied the score when they
came to bat, thus making It necessary
for the game to go an extra inning.
In the Cubs half of the tenth inning
they scored a run on a double by
Dahlof followed by another double by
Holiday. AT this stage of the game
the Cubs wanted TO quit because they
claimed the first team to score after
the ninth inning won the game i'm
material of who had first bat. Ac-
cording TO my way of thinking. team
which knows no more about our great
national game than this, should quit
the game for good After arguing the
game proceeded with St. Georges at
the bat in the final half of the tenth
Inning. John Gam. the first batter
up, reached first on an error He
stole second and reached third on a
passed ball. Aurand. the next man
up, drove a liner to Patterson. which
vas too hot TO handle. and Gam came
home with the tying run NJ. Gam

point Aurand stole second. and on a
poor throw to Holiday by McManus
Aurand came home with the winning
