 THE WAsHRAG.

The washrag must go! The United States Public Health Service Agency has so decided, says Leslie's. It must follow the towel, the drinking cup, the hair brush, and the habit of kissing. We knew it was coming. Next we expect that an embargo will we placed on shaking hands and on the use of straps for the stand-ups in street cars. After they have once been handled they will have to be de- stroyed. There might be wandering germ that would locate on some bodys palm. With all our fads and fancies, are we any healthier than our forebears were? Do we live longer? Do we bring up better children? Are we better ourselves physically or nor ally? But what's the use? In the caustic words of the Fort Worth Star we believe:
 "Finally the continuation of multi piled statutes and pan-human regu- lation may be a general law for every imaginable act and situation, a spe- cial commission to administer the law, a select board to keep tab on the commission, a body of sociologi- cal experts to watch the board, cen tral body of scientific managers to card index and time the experts, a popular recall to keep the council properly intimidated, and elections of some kind at least once month to keep the voters employed and viz liant"

that is held out to him as reward of the proper use of his God-given powers. Sin or rebellion against Gods law as apprehended by the con- science, is shown in Its folly and re- pulsiveness as the one obstacle to mans everlasting happiness. Aver sion to it and conversion to God by repentance is strongly urged. To en- sure persevering loyalty to conscience and to God human frailty is fortified against the seductions of temptation by the salutary fear of hell or the loss of heaven as the direct consequence of unrepented disregard of Gods law. The inevitableness of death serves as corrective for undue at- tachment to the good things of the world and the judgment that follows helps to independence of character.
 The wondrous mercy and noble kindness of God and the glad well come extended to the repentant rebel breaks down mans pride and induces submission to God because He Is good. The panorama of the redemp- tion is unfolded when God in human form presents himself as "The Way, the Truth and the Life," inviting mankind to put itself under His lead ership. Christ's life, labors, suffer- ings are dwelt on in grateful remem- brance as an example and stimulus to us, whilst the glory of His Resurrec- tion and Ascension is held up as the type of the glory that waits on our own loyalty and submission to Gods law.

Fort Liscum, Sept. 30, 1915.
 Editor Prospector:
 Sir: The Fort Liscum Social club will hold it's dance as per schedule on the evening of October 2, and thereby hangs a tale. During the past few days I have heard some unkind re- marks by Valdezians, concerning our "stubborness," in insisting upon hav- ing our dance on October 2. In spite of the fact that the Valdez Fire De- partment contemplate holding a dance on the same date. For the benefit of those who have been mis- informed I wish to elucidate.
 The following are facts: The Fort Liscum Social club had planned a dance at the post for September 25. This date was relinquished, however, because the ladies of Valdez announc- ed that they intended to arrange for a dance in Valdez the same evening" The Liscum Club gallantly withdrew and announced publicly on Septem- Der 22 that the dance at the post would surely take place on October 2. Two days later, on September "A, the Valdez firemen met and on the 26th announced that they intended so con- duct dance on October 2, the pro- ceeds to go toward improving the Valdez fire-fghting apparatus.
 The firemen then practically de- manded that we again postpone the post dance. We naturally were un- desirous of again disappointing our friends, and refused the request of the firemen. Now we are being vili- fled.
 Permit me to state that we are thoroughly in sympathy with the ef- forts of the Valdez "firemen" to raise funds for so worthy a purpose, and would gladly lend our assistance but the firemen used poor judgment in selecting a date on which they knew we intended holding the post dance, and they presumed considera- bly, when they so peremptorily de- manded that we again step aside.
 hope this explanation of our po- sition will clear the atmosphere and that the amicable relations between the people of Valdez and those of Lis cum will remain undisturbed.
 I wish to repeat our dance will come off as per schedule, October ?.
 Respectfully,
 SAMUEL FISHER.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.
(Leslie's Weekly.)


 In ice dealer in Meuntchen, N. J., was fined $75 and costs for selling ice on Sunday, though in open court he explained that he had given the ice away to customer who pleaded he had a sick baby. A policeman happened to see the transaction and Iarrested the dealer.
 At Port Jervis, N. Y., recently, a prominent citizen was fined $36.5O for killing a squirrel that was running a fine English walnut tree in his yard. The game protector brought suit.
 A police judge in Muskogee, Okla homa, recently fined an Indian wom- an $1,OOO,OOO and sentenced her to ninety-nine years in jail because, he said, she was always getting drunk and making trouble.
 While celebrating the feast of pa tron saint in the Italian quarter of New York the past week, one of the crowd disputed with peddlar over a penny purchase. A fight ensued and a seven-year-old boy, an innocent by stander, and three adults were shot, and three men arrested--all over one cent.
 It were better that the sick baby died and that the tree was killed by the squirrel than have the majesty of the law abridged.
 Let the thinking people rule.

they are forced into competition with countries allowing shipowners to em- ploy cheap labor, whereas, our mer- chant marine, according to the La Toilette law, must employ high-pric- ed men. It is not question of show ing consideration to the seamen of other nations; it is the question of one businessman's dollar producing as large a profit as the other mans dollar. If it does not, the greater cost rate inevitably gives way to the smaller. Every business man knows that, and tries to cheapen his prod uct. A hundred years ago our mer- chant marine was as large as any oth- CT nations. Our ships sailed the sev- en seas, and the sound of the calking hammer could be heard in every Maine port. Today the great ship yards are silent, and the ways have fallen into decay, because shipowners cannot compete with other countries; Ihampered by our onerous laws, and unprotected by subsidy. The Pan ana tolls bill has put our coastwise trade out of business, because for eign ship can load at New York, clear for San Francisco, and get cheaper tolls through the canal than can an American vessel. The rate of $1.2O per ton cubic measure, imposed upon American ships makes freight rates higher on a ship of small tonnage than if shipped by rail.
 It is not the fact that England is a great nation that has forced Ameri- can ships off the sea, nor the fact that capital prefers inland investments. Wherever American enterprise has entered into competition with Eng fish methods the American has, in nearly every case, won the prize, both on sea and land. American papers and American shops today in London do a greater business than English concerns. The American department stores are the pride and envy of Lon don. American capital has been En- glands bulwark, even as it is in the present war. What has driven the American flag off the high seas is rabid legislation; legislation by men intemperate in action and mind; leg islation by fanatics and disorganizers, whose ear is ever tuned for popular sentiment; legislation by anti-every- things and against every one who has more than they have; legislation by senators of the La Toilette type, who care more for popular clamor than national pride.
 This is what has taken our flag down and hoisted the English jack over thousands of American bottoms. The pendulum is slowly swinging the other way, but it will take years to repair the damage done by the ire spOnsibles.

Many mining properties have been opened the past year around Valdez that promise to become great produc- CTS. Prince William Sound is at- tracting much attention among capi- talists in the east, and when the war is over things will begin to hum in this locality.
