the rest aside. The one he picked out
was Clem's.
With her own peculiar wisdom Glen
had written not about him or herself,
but about Red Hill Alan read and
then dropped the letter to his lap. His
hands fell cIenched at his sides. His
eyes, grown large, stared out down the
long vista of the mind. Walls faded
away and the sounds Of great ship
at sea were suddenly dumb. To his
ears came instead the caroling Of birds
in evening song after rain, to his eyes
a vision of Red Hill dripping light
from It's myriad leaves and to his
heart the protecting, brooding shelter
of Maple House-of home.
1t cleanses a mans soul to have been
at deaths door. Sickness, more than
love, leads a man up. Alan was feel
ing cleansed-like a little child-so 1t
seemed a quite natural thing that the
girl who had taken charge Of him on
his arrival on board should knock at
his door and then walk in. She drew
out a camp-stool and sat down beside
him.
She was very small and very young.
not In years but with what Alan
termed to himself acquired youth. Her
nearsighted eyes peered out through
big glasses. They seemed to see only
when they made a special effort, and
yet they seemed to give out light.

day. have had letter from home. "
You must get up now and come
I'D on deck" said the girl. "I'll wait
for you outside" Her voice had pc
culiar modulation. It attracted and
soothed the ear.
Alan frowned and then smiled. "All
right" he said, wait for me-" He
dressed Iaboriously. His hands seemed
weighted.
On deck she had his chair ready for
him beside her own. She tucked his
rug about him and then sat down.
Don't talk ever, unless you want to"
she said. "Silent people are best"
"Why2" asked Alan.
'They are springs. Their souls
bubble"
"And the people that chatterT' asked
Alan.
"They are geysers," said the girl,
and smiled.
Alan was entertained - almost
amused. What do you do when a
geyser spouts?" he asked.
what do you do?" replied the girl.

"You must be strong to do that. I'm
not very strong"
Alan glanced over her fraiI body.
What are you?" he asked.
'I'm a missionary. At least, l was
a missionary. I've had to give it up.
One needs so much to be a mission
ary."
81 never thought Of it that way, ="
said Alan. 81 always thought that it
was the people that were unfit for al
most anything else that turned to mis-
sionarying as last resort.
"Oh, nor' said the girl, sitting up
very straight in her chair and fixing
her eyes on his face. How wrong
YOU are! Missionarying. as you call it,

how can one give a great deal unless
one has a great deal to give-strength
and youth and vitality?"
"And you have given all?" asked
Alan.
The girls eyes filed.
"No. you haven't given all" went on
Alan quickly. "You are still giving.
I must not borrow your last mite.

WANTING FAVORS.

The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion read into the record recently letters to railroads from judges, le- gislators, newspapers and witnesses asking for passes.
 It is little favors of this sort that count. Many a judge has been bribed by private car or rail- road banquet or a free annual pass. Many law has been forced through or held up because the railroads li- berally donated passes upon their systems to the Solons. Many news paper has been bribed to silence or corrupted to speech by such favors but witnesses? That's new one.
 If the others can swear falsely as to their duties of office why not private individuals called to the witness stand?
 There is really no end to the power of money and the power of corpora tions through the eXertion of the money power they possess. Whether it is in favors bestowed or favors withheld, we have to note the effect of that power throughout the en- tire national life.

EXIT THE LITTLE ONES.

A dispatch says that many of the smaller intuition plants are failing They were built to take care of sur. plus contracts held by the larger companies, enjoyed a period of spe- culative boom in the east and now having no work to do are going down and out
 England has at the present time 2937 intuition factories large and small. When the war began she had to all intents and purposes none. Orders came pouring into the United States and these have been still decreasing for some time. Now not the finished product but raw ma terial, chemicals and supplies are the chief output. These are supplied by big companies which have also supplied machinery and tools for the foreign factories.
 But none the less it is self evident that even the larger companies which have been working several shifts and much overtime have also facing them falling off in activities which it is in order to consider.
 With the European nations pro- ducing munitions themselves, with the prospects of peace sooner or later wholly destroying even the rem nant of the trade, it is necessary U took somewhere for it's preserva- tion.
 What could more readily suggest itself than a huge army and navy establishment in the United States "a preparedness for war on a gi- gantic scale which will not only guard and create foreign markets, but will also keep the munitionists active beyond the natural term due to the European war?
 And there never yet was num- tionist firm which didn't build wise ly in this regard

THE FISHERIES.

Secretary Redfield made an a1mi. nistrative point when he questioned the value of such divided control as would be practically involved ih the right to legislate concerning the fisheries of Alsaka granted to the territorial legislature.
 But he did not observe that tho easiest way out of this would be for his very interesting if not so valu- able department surrendering to Al aska ell legislative control of those fisheries. Manifestly thereupon the divided control upon which he dwells with such emphatic argu mont would wholly disappear.
 Because he does not, we may therefore be justified in assuming he merely used this contention for the sake of argument and to enforce his wishes which are the wishes of the fishing trust that has dominant control in Alaska.
 
 of taxation, the Alaska legislature if it is to prove its value might di- rect some attention to the labor conditions which prcyG!l in the can neries. And it would seem thu; there is an urgent necessity for Labor Commissioner for the territory whose deputies would be inspectors of mines and fisheries and public works. %
 Besides this has tho advantage ot creating another position for some jealous jobbite and ought for this reason to appeal without any much opposition to the legislators them selves.

SAFETY.

The Mining Inspector, William Maioney, in his report under this htading says More interest is being taken in making the mines safer for employees. The placer mines show a very marked decrease in accidents since they have been under inspec- tion".
 Without detracting in any way from the work done by Inspector Maioney, the Industrial Worker be- lieyes that the inspection hes no, been as much responsible for the de- crease in accidents as has been the fact that there are fewer men en- ployed in placer underground work ings since the appointment. We be- lieve that in proportion to the number of men employed now in un- derground placer, and in under ground placer nine yeprs ago, espe- cially in Nome, there is no such de crease at all.
 The per centage is just as high.

charters from other shipcers and move their vessels away to the more profitable field.
 That is busin ss.
 tween the public need and the pup- lie service as represented by the shipping. The only relation between the shippers and the shipping com panies is dollar and cent relation. They are not in the business to foster Alaskan industries; to aid in the development of the country; to satisfy Alaskan wants. As shipping companies they perform certain func- tions for the money that is in it. If there was no money in it they would move away.
 Accordingly the more money in the business the better for them and accordingly when they get a chance they increase the rates.
 That's the system. Those that up- hold tho system should not cavil at it. They have as much right to make az much profit as they cah as has ihe store keeper or anyone else. The trouble and irritation and aSi- , tation against combines and trusts is simply founded upon total mis conception of their function anl pur- pose They are not social actiY ties looking towards the satisfaction of human needs in the most efficient manner possible. They are money making activities and when there is no money to be made they cease. That they are efficient social activ- ities is only because by being effici. ent and by satisfying the social de- mands they make more money.
 Intrinsically their operations are no different than that of any person engaged in business in order to make profit and to live. They may differ in degree but not in kind: rival interests developing within the same profit making field
