The EskimOs and Parcel Post

The difference between being cheated and be-
ing fairly treated Is the difference which the
natives OF northern Alaska owe to the fact that
Uncle Sam finally decided to go into the parcel
post business.
Before the parcel post came, II was possible
for the Eskimos on the shores OF Bering Sea
and the Arctic ocean and in other remote regions
OF Alaska 10 dispose Of their valuable furs. ivory,
and wholebone only to local traders. with the
result that they usually received low prices for
their wares and were constantly in debt to the
traders.
Now however, since Uncle Sam went into the
business of transporting parcels, many Eskimos
who have been educated in the schools forward
regularly their packages Of fox. lynx. and mink
skins. and their ivory and wholebone TO the Of
fce OF the Alaska division Of the bureau Of
education in Seattle, which sells the furs for
them AT public auction.
Result: many natives are now receiving full
value for their goods and are becoming rich
men" as riches go in the Arctic
The money received from these sales is either

Gle Sans registered mail seryice-s applied to
the settlement OF accounts for purchases which
they desire to make in Seattle, or is placed to
their credit In savings banks--and they can util-
ize Uncle Sans postal savings banks II they
wish.
During the fiscal year 1914. We learn from
the bureau of education at Washington. the net
proceeds OF these sales OF furs ivory. and whale
bone for the natives amounted to 4.6l5s0.
And II couldn't be done II Uncle Sam hadn't
gone into the business Of transporting parcel
post packages. because the express companies
saw no profits In express business In northern
Alaska
Uncle SAM on the other hand. thinks that hu.

OregOn's Star Rising

American mining engineers returning from
Mexico state that Carranzas power is waning
and that General obregan is the man OF the
hour in Mexico.
There never has been a case in the history
OF that turbulent country where ruler succeed
ed without the regular army back OF him.
Carranza has never been strong with the Mill.
tary party.
He threw away his most promising opportunitl
when he refused to put villa at the head OF the
army. thus ensuring his allegiance. Villa would
undoubtedly have been content with that. for
he did not. at that time, aspire to the presi-
dency.
But Carranza was jealous OF Villa and alien
ated him. precipitating another bloody revolu-
tion. In the same manner and for the same
reason Carrsnza is divorcing himself from Obre-
gon.
General Obregon has long been regarded
the strongest man in Mexico by many in inti-
mate touch with conditions
Still he has been most loyal TO his chief and
has refused to take advantage of his popularity
at Carranza's expense.
II an open breach between the two should re-
suit. IT will be OF Carranza's own making and
but another token of his narrowness and dis
qualification as a ruler

STUDY SCIENCE
H. ApcNeToN BRUCE.


Science depends absolutely on
close, accurate observation, and on
the forming OF judgments according
TO rigidly logical principles. All
good scientific books, whether in
chemistry, physics. astronomy, or
what not. bring out clearly this vi
tai fact.
And they bring it out on every
rage.
Consequently. the man who reads
scientific works thoroughly is bound
to have impressed on him the inn
portance. for the needs OF life in
general. Of accurate observation and
real thinking
His acquaintance with the scien-
lists viii give him intellectual stand
ards. and at the same time viii
make plain To him the desirability
Of applying these standards in his
own case, as aids in obtaining great
er insight intoe the problems of his
own particular business.
No man can read such writers as
Darwin. Spencer, Huxley and VIII
liam James for any length OF time
without appreciating as perhaps new
er before the necessity for cultivat-
ing observationaI and reasoning pow
er In the conduct of life in general.
Also he will have more firmly i'm
planted in him such everyday ylr-
tues as honesty. sincerity. patience.
and caution. And he will find his
whole intellectual horizon expanded
by the new knowledge he gains OF
tho nature and meaning OF the uni
verse.
Study science. therefore, that you
may grow bigger and stronger men
tally. and thus be better equipped
for the doing OF your daily work.

tables, at which are seated some Of the
most prominent people of the city.

You are going to hear many times dur
ing the prohibition campaign that is now
with us, that the saloon is the "pooi
mans club"
We hardly need point to the state OF
Washington and to Seattle to convince
you that it will be an easy matter to ar
range substitute clubs that will be free
of contamination by alcohol.
The situation has been met in dry
counties in Michigan, and the poor mar
in need of club has been provided with
billiard rooms, reading rooms. etc. cer-
tainly harmless by comparison.
The Seattle situation is more I'M rest
ing because of the figures showing the
decrease in the number of arrests for
drunkenness and the increase in the num-
Der of checks received by the MEAT
MARKET man, instead of by the SA-
LOON man.
These figures are not interesting be-
cause the case of Seattle is novel.
The Times has shown by series of ar
ticles that Michigan's experience hes been
the same in dry territory as Washing
tons.
The figures are interesting because
they show that the benefits from banish-
ing John Barleycon are general, wher-
ever the thing is tried.
The Detroit times., 1916-02-17

This. il has truly been said, is a
scientific age. Yet most people are
unaware OF the importance of max
ing personal acquaintance with the
facts and findings of science.
Even il a man has no immediate
or direct need of familiarity with
the results OF scientific research
there are several reasons for his
studying scientific subjects.
One reason is found In the stimu-
lus which such study gives TO accu-
rate observation and logical think
ing
Comparatively few people observe
things accurately. Still fewer really
think about what they do observe
This is not their fault. II is the
result of a vicious educational sys-
tenn which unduly postpones train
ing in the powers OF observing and
reasoning.
On the theory that II will strain
children's minds IL they begin 10
think too soon. intelligent develop
ment OF the mental faculties is de
layed until school age" Is reached
But in the meantime. IL being i'm
possible TO prevent a normal child
from doing some kind OF thinking,
wrong habits of observing and rea
soning are formed.
These habits in many cases persist
through life They are handicap
on efficiency and in many cases
they are responsible for enslaye
ment in grinding poverty.
The victim, not realizing that the
trouble Is with himself. gradually
becomes disheartened at his failure
TO make progress. He becomes dull
and unenthusiastic. plodding alona
through life In a muddle-mindec
way.
Also he may become embittered
seeing other men more fortunately
situated than he. II embittered he
is all the more likely TO throw the
blame for his lack of success, not
on his faulty education. but on 80
cisl conditions In general
In precisely this fashion much so
cial unrest is engendered. Anarchy
and isms Of all sorts are disturbing
products OF the failure to begin soon
enough TO train men TO observe and
think Alright.
To the individual, of course, 'hc
main fact is that he is not getting
on. Now, the reading OF scientific
works is one way by which he can
help himself get on. In any kind oi
business whatsoever.
