CHILD WELFARE.
Seattle P.-1.)

4 great store of wholesome informa- ton has been disseminated at the child welfare institute in this city. The children, boys and girls, are like plastic clay in the hands of the artist; they ale nodded according to the skill and the design of those who have direction over them. And what manner of man or woman Is molded of them, and their success or failure in life. are largely determined by the quality of intelligence given to their rearing. Men and women, skilled in the train ing of character. of good citizenship, of health and morals, have been sharing their knowledge most helpfully with the public.
 As people, we do not give the time fker importance demands. Yet the shaping of these little men and wo men, the training of their minds and bodies into wholesome channels of thought and action is to fix the condi- tions of life in this country in the generations to come. We give most earnest attention to the care of prize poultry, the fine stock, or the family dog, but we often allow the boy and the girl to grow up like weeds.
 The diet, the companions. the daily habits. the home life, the groove of thought of the child determine it's fu ture life, and the success or failure of its adult endeavors.
 There are well defined rules for the wholesome influences, and the shoals of danger are well charted. There Is no more important duty before Amer lean parents than the application of these rules to the daily lives of their children, so. that they shall be duly armed and equipped for citizenship with sound minds in sound bodies.

ALAsKA's WONDERFUL GLACIERS
(Leslie's.

Ieslie's)
 A glacier is a gigantic field of ice pushing its appalling weight from the mountain fastnesse into the sea. Co., lumbia glacier Is from 300 to 400 feet high and extends for over four miles. It has been calculated that it's area of ice would cover large fraction of the entire state of Rhode Island.
 We need not go to Europe to see glaciers. Here they are within five days of Seattle-the finest in the world and "all in America" Everybody was on deck drinking in the magnificent spectacle Nearer and nearer the Watson drew. The vast field of ice was sweeping across the horizon, show ing masses of clear, translucent blue. masses of gray and others of shaded brown, sloping at the ends into dark line of snow, ice and gravel. The steamer moved cautiously until the excited passengers, with exclamations of delight, found that they were with n 1,500 yards of the magnificent gla- fer The warmth of summer had given way to the coolness of winter as the stiff breeze from the enormous mass of ice swept by. The glaciers sea line was streaked and splintered. At the center a mammoth cave extended a thousand feet. Enormous masses of he crystalline palisade broke off at intervals and fell into the sea with he sound of distant thunder. The shrill bugle call to lunch sounded, but he passengers were deaf to the call that had been always welcomed. They stood enthralled and left the deck only when the steamer turned back on its course and the glacier was slowly lost from view.-John A. Sleicher.

ALASKA DEVELOPMENT.
Seattle P.-I.)

Alaska should be due for a great season of mining development next year Much prospecting work has been accomplished duirng the past summer, due in a great measure to the promise of early railroad transportation, the opening of the coal fields, and the cheapening of fuel These activities are outlined by Alfred H. Brooks, gov ernment geologist in charge of the division of Alaska mineral resources. in I recent report.
 The area of placer mining is believed to have been extended by recent pros pecting. Nearly 5000 men are now engaged in placer mining, and it forms m important part of the industry of the territory. Cheaper fuel will stim- Hate the working of lower grade gray els. and increase the output of gold
 Gold lode mining will also be stim- lated by this seasons prospecting Capitalists are taking much interest In its possibilities, and there will be large sums of money invested next year in the Juneau, Valdez and South Central Alaska districts. The coming year should be a notable one. not only in mining, but in every material &C., tivity.

EFFECT OF CONSERVATION.
(Cordova Times.

It will be recalled that Clifford Pin tie standing timber of Alaska. He re- peated 1t time and again and brought 1t out quite prominently in the Sat- urday Evening Post of Philadelphia In December 1911, an entire article which was proved to be a tissue of falsehoods. Alaska was pictured by Pinchot as possessing the greatest area of valuable marketable standing timber known to the world. Now comes the United States government, prepared to build railways in Alaska, initial work having started sixty days ago. Among the first orders were those covering approximately two million feet of rough lumber, which were placed in Seattle and the lumber ship ped north. Now let every eastern conservationist who ever has any faith in Clifford Pinchot answer this one .ouestion. If Pinchot was even partly correct, why should the government not put in a small sawmill and pro- dnce timber rather than send to the city of Seattle, 1850 miles away, and purchasing same and shipping 1t to the north at considerable expense? If there Is one sincere individual con- nected with the national conservation society. let him answer this question. If the Saturday Evening Post possesses remnant of editorial deceny, let 1t now correct the informous article of Pinchot 1t published In 1911.

CHILDREN ALIENS AND
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
(New York American.)

NNeW 1OTk AIHerlCdn.)
 Commenting upon the assertion of Seantor Hughes that as he voted to impose an income tax upon women, as upon men, he should vote to give the suffrage to women as to men. the Times says:
 Some women are taxed. Therefore all women should vote. What has taxation got to do with the matter? The estates of minors, the property of aliers are taxed Therefore children and foreigners should have the ballot. c. F D."
 Of course, through the tariff ALL women, not some women, are taxed. But aside from that error of statement the Times is slipshod in its argument Children and foreigners ultimately can .et the ballot, the children when they lttain their majority, the alien when he gets naturalized. Only to the self supporting, educated, patriotic Amer ican women is the way to the ballot blocked by an illogical and unjust law, which in New Jersey and New York the people will soon be able to sweep out of the path.

SMOKE AND LITERATURE.

Some of the patrons of the public library who are accustomed to absorb ing literature in large portions have grown restless under the inhibition against smoking a pipe or cigar or cigarette within the library, and have fonnd some sympathy with their cause on the part of members of the city librarv board There Is no question that many patrons remain at their nosts 70 long that they feel the need of some soothing recreation.

At a recent fire in the Standard

DRUNKENNESS AND DIVORCE.

A home a day, it is stated, was
wrecked by divorce last year In Chr
cago. A Chicago newspaper, investi-
eating as to what extent alcohol Is
responsible, gives a summary OF It's
findings. Habitual drunkenness, 1t
says. is the charge in 152 of these d.
vorce cases. To this charge others
were added In 124 cases. In 80 Of
these lin which the charge was drunk
enness and cruelty, women were the
comp. Ainants. These two charges ap-
pear together more frequently than
any other one combination OF charges
on which divorces were granted. The
cases tabulated were tried before
judges of the superior court. Others
which came before the circuit court
were not tabulated.

GENIUS NOT INSANITY
ABSOLUTELY FALSE IDEA
SHOULD be ROOTED OUT.
Theory Refutsd as Far e. America ls
Concerned by the Outstanding
Figures In the History Of
This Country.

A mistaken notion, which hah done
much to encourage self-satished medl-
ocrity. is that genius is q form Of In
sanity. This absolutely false idea
needs to be rooted out Of the popular
mind. into which 1t was implanted
chiefly by the efforts OF q group OF
European anthropologists.
These men. headed by the cele-
brated Cesare Lombroso, arrived at
their insanity theory Of genius by an
exceedingly simple If laborious
method.
They secured through thousands Of
biographies Of illustrious men. seek
ing evidence that at some period in
their lives these men had acted
~"Queerly."
Naturally they found a great many
men of genius who had indeed acted
queerly and q great many others who
had been positively insane.
With this multitude of horrible ex.
amples as a convenient jumping board,
Lombroso and his disciples then pro-
ceeded to leap to the astonishing con-
clusion that all men Of genius are
more or less insane.
To the weight Of their scholastic au'
thority. and to the bulky books they
have published giving details Of the
vagaries of certain men Of genius, is
largely due the erroneous belief 30
widespread today.
Actually, the proportion of insanity
among men Of genius is little, II at all,
higher than the proportion of insanity
among men in general.
Indeed, a moments reflection ought
to satisfy anybody as to the absurdity
of the insanity theory with regard tc
American genius.
Was Washington insane? Or Jeffer
son, or Hamilton, or Franklin? Was
insanity the distinguishing mark Of
Abraham Lincoln? Can Emerson
Longfellow, Lowell and Julia Ware
Howe be dismissed with a wave OF the
hand as insane persons?
Coming down to the present day
would Thomas A. Edison be counted
among the worlds foremost lunatlcs
Or Charles w. Eliot? Or Lyman Alb
bolt?
The one people rid themselves O
the false insanity doctrine the soonel
the way will be cleared for intelligen
bordering Of the question.
Is not the man of genius. after all
representative Of higher possibilitie'
open to the human race, and is 1t no
possible to some extent to produc'
more men Of genius by proper train
ing and environment?
To this question I for I'M believ'
that ultimately al affirmative repl,
will be given.-H. Arlington Bruce

Here Is a little story that was told
by Congressman William c. Adamson
of Georgia when the conversation
turned to natural misunderstanding:
A young housewife who lives in a

marked the customer, pausing before
the poultry counter. How much are
they?"
lone dollar apiece, madam" was the
prompt response of the obliging pro
prietor. You can't find better poul

"One dollar" thoughtfully unused
the customer. and then added: Die
you raise them?"
"Oh, no. madam" was the hasty
assurance of the misunderstanding
storekeeper. THAT is the same price
l offered to sell them for yesterday.
