Deputy Marshal Wood
 Tells of Blind Andrew
dditarod Pioneer.)


 Blind Andrew, the native who is be ing taken care of at the local jail, is still a problem to the officials. No word of suggestion as to his disposi tion has yet been received from the Fairbanks authorities, and as his sen tence for vagrancy will soon expire. lem. The poor fellow is naturally in dustrious, and has been engaged in odd jobs around the jail to while away the time. The case of the unfortunate Indian has evidently aroused interest in Fairbanks, and Jack Wood, the rowing marshall" who is well known here and along the Yukon, has been telling the News-Miner about him Says the newspaper in it's issue of August IT:
 In a telegram from Iditarod the mar shal's office is advised of the arrest of Blind Andrew upon a charge of vagrancy. The arrest brings to mind the struggle for an existence that is being waged by this blind native, who has not seen the light of day for more than fifteen years Notwithstanding his great handicap in life, Blind An drew has been able to do better for himself than many natives who have all their faculties, this being the first 1 time that he has been given govern ment help since being afflicted with 1 his eye trouble.
 Deputy Marshals George Berg and John c. Wood, who know the Indian well, tell of his fight for living on the lower Yukon.
 Among other things, he goes into the woods alone every winter and cuts about thirty cords of wood, which he piles along the river, and in the spring sells it to steamboats MT Wood ask ed him how he know where to start and when to quit work when in the woods. He replied that he cut wood until he had a half cord cut and piled, and then he called that a days work.
 One time MT Wood, in mushing alnog the trail on the lower river, came to a cabin It was night and quite dark, so the deputy marshal de- cided to go to the cabin and remain there. He rapped at the door and was told to "come in" Upon entering he found it in complete darkness, and asked if the man did not have a can dle.
 "No," said the Indian, "why should I have a candle WI am blind and can not see with or without a candle y Mir. Wood finally found a candle in his own outfit and upon lighting it found that the native was cooking his supper, just having returned from his days work.
 + On one occasion the blind native mushed along the shore of the Yukon river forty miles inthe summer time and alone.
 The deputies report that the blind mans greatest troubles are the other natives who take his food from him. He works hard all winter getting in his wood and when he sells it in the spring gets in a supply of grub. Other natives then go to live with 1 him, their visits lasting as long as the grub holds out.
 And now he has had such hard luck this summer that he was in a state of starvation, so the officials thought it advisable to take him into custody on a charge of vagrancy, so that he might be taken care of.

only when they arc based upon "some sinister pur-
pose or involve detriment to the public" Under
this law the governmental authorities of Australia
began suit few years ago to declare unlawful
an agreement made among all the branches of the
coal trade--the coal operators, the steamship and
railway lines, the wholesalers and the retailers
all of whom entered into an agreement whereby
the annual output of the operators was fixed; the
freight rates were fixed, the price to the whole
salers was fixed, the price to the retailers was
fixed. and the price to the consumers was fixed.
Such situation would, in this country, unques-
tionaby have resulted in the agreement being de-
clared unlawful and in every participant being
liable to criminal indictment. And yet the highest
court in England, in 1912, reviewing the case. de-
clared the Australian agreement lawful and said:
at can never be of any real benefit to the con-
sumers of coal that colliery proprietors should
profit they made should depend on the miners
wages being reduced to minimum. Where these
conditions prevail the less remunerative coiiieries
will be closed down, there will be great loss OF
capital, miners will be thrown out Of employment,
less coal will be produced, and prices will conse-
quently rise until it becomes possible to reopen
sumers of coal will lose in the long run if the col
liery proprictors do not make fair profits or the
miners do not receive fair wages"
1t is thus evident that our antitrust laws stand
alone in all the world as prohibiting cooperation
among moderate sized business units The Sher-
man law served useful purpose in depressing
trusts and monopolies. Its enlargement to cover
the prohibition Of cooperative agreements among
moderate-sized units is out of harmony with the
procedure of all other civilized countries and is a
serious handicap upon business prosperity. The
Clayton law and the Trade Commission law have
done nothing whatever to ameorate this situa-
ton. A years experience under these new laws
has shown that they are entirely inadequate

One of the results of the discussion in
the General Board and before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs of the SUD-
marine problem may be the dispensing
with the mother boat. The mother boat
in the subma rine fotillas has virtually
been a floating base from which the
undersea crafts operate. As a substitute
for mother boats 1t Is proposed TO estao-
lish small shore bases
With the development of the submarine
the work to be done on the mother ships
and at the bases has been greatly in
creased. At present the crews on the
mother ships are three or four times as
large as the crews of the submarines.
Only a small proportion of the officers
and men assigned TO the submarine no
tilla serve on the submarines. 1t is con-
tended that the work could be done with
fewer men and at less expense at shore
stations than on the mother boat
As far as coast defense work goes. the
claim is now made that the mother boat
is unnecessary. Even the smaller sub
ma rines have sufficient radius of action
TO be operated from shore stations. Espe-
cialIy will this be true if an adequate
number of shore stations be maintained
for the submarine coast defense fotillas.
Another advantage Of shore bases for
submarines is that the crews would be
given an opportunity to spend more time
ashore. The work of submarines Is al
most as cxacting as diving. and the
crews of the undersea boats must have
more rest and recreation than those OF
surface boats. 1t is stated that there arc
no mother ships In the German navy. and
if the submarines can be operated from
shore stations under the conditions OF
the European war they could be handled
In the same manner in defending the
coast of the United States.

Mcclellan had expected TO be Joined
by reinforcements under General Nc
Dowei1; but the military genius Of an
other confederate commander prevent
ed that.
Thomas J. Jackson had shown his
quality in part at Manassas. There he
had held his men mistaken against
charge after charge of the federal
regiments, and had been dubbed
'Stonewalf jackson from that day.
Now he showed gifts of another
kind. He was oddly compounded of
Coyenanter and strstegist; showed In
all things a steadfastness, a stiffness
of character and principle which
seemed strangely contrasted with the
audacity and sudden dash with which
he moved when in the field.
In fact the two things were united
with singular harmony in the man:
the iron character and the instant pur-
pose: the will that operated like an
impulse but which achieved its end
with the precision of a thing calcu-
lated and long foreseen,-the almost
instructive energy of mind that
never doubted or turned aside.
HARDEST principle and bold initia-
tive were the things to be looked for
in combination in men of his Scots
Irish blood.
BY series OF sudden marches and
surprises such as his opponents pres
entity learned to expect, but could
never foresee or make themselves safe
against, he cleared the Shenandoah
valley of federal troops. seemed to
threaten Washington itself. and kept
Mcdowell where he was. to guard the
seat of government.
Then, as suddenly, he turned about
and carried his forces by rail to Gen.
eral Lee, to assist against Mcclellan.
For several memorable days the two
beat McCleilans army back until Rich
mond was safe and the federal forces
once more on their farther base at the
James.
Mr.. Lincoln tried a change of COM
manders. General Mcclellan was re-
moved. and General Pope was brought.
