ance of William T. Lopp and reindeer herd of 400 or 800. and Lopp drove the deer 700 miles north over the ice and snow to Point Barrow. They arrived just in time to save the starving whalers and to give them enough food to last them until spring.
 This instance of being caught in the arctic is by no means the only one that has happened to our American whalers. There was great disaster in 1871, where g ships were caught in the ice. Some of the vessels were driven on the shoals near Icy Cape and left, and one was crushed between two big icebergs. The men then left the ships and took to whaleboats. There were altogether more than 1900 of them. Part of the time they dragged the boats over the ice, but fi- nally they got to the edge of the pack, where there were several ships that had not been caught. In them they went south. The other vessels, valued at more than S3,O0OO00, were lost.

South America and the Antartic ocean.
 The total sum of money invested in the shore stations of Alaska is less than $1,00O,000, and about 300 persons are employed in the industry. Among the best whalers of today are the Norwegians. They have 15 companies and they go to all the oceans. None of them has a large capital. but when they strike a rich whaling ground the profits are enormous. One of the com panies recently paid two dividends of 130 per cent each from it's catch in South Georgia, and at the same time added to its surplus and reserve funds.
 And now let me tell you something about the right whale. It is the big gest gold nugget found in the placer mines of the sea. single one may yield bone to the value of $10,000, and
 at the same time, produce 15 or more tons of excellent oil. This whale was the basis of the whale industry of the past. It has made fortunes for our New England whalers, and the Norwegians, Dutch and Scotch have gotten rich from it. There is the record of a Scotch vessel that started out for Greenland about the time we were fighting the war of 1912. and brought back a cargo from the catching of

able desert and were free. During
years of wandering a mob of slaves
were converted into disciplined
army having grand army corps,
regiments and companies thorough
ly organized with an efficient staff,
and when after forty years they
crossed the Jordan they were an
army Of lions led by lion.
Joshua triumphed over the giants
of Canaan and established little
tribal republics among conquered
people. For 400 years they main
tanned substantial independence and
owed allegiance to no one save .Je-
hovah his law was their law. 1t
could not be changed and it govern
ed people and executive alike that
was liberty.
These little republics then be-
came imperial; they yearned for the
pomp and circumstance of kingly
court like their neighbors-not so
much for any benefit as to satisfy
their pride. Their attempts at i'm
perialism were flat failures and after
500 years ended in captivity. But
even their worst kings were sub
ject, in theory at least, to Jehovah,
and his law. Often the people fell
away from their ideals and we're
punished, but after the great punish
ment seventy years in Babylonish
captivity their repentance was final,
and from that day to this no Jew
has been an idolator, and the Jew
ish race, as such, has been true to
Jehovah and his law. The Hebrew
religion connects belief in the one
God. May we remark in passing
that they alone of all the races of
the world have been preserved in
the face of persistent, systematic
efforts to Cypress and destroy them
by the dominant races among whom
they have lived as small minority.

sight, and Joshua, the high priest,
became the dominant power, and
thereafter priests and not princes
were the real rulers at Jerusalem.

representative republic is the only
rational government. We hold our
written Constitution in unbounded
respect; it is the guarantee of our
liberties. The Jews held their law
in the reverence due to the Word
of God it was both Constitution and
Greed.
When Moses selected the seventy
elders in the wilderness he estab-
lished, in effect, the first represen-
tative republic This was a thou
sand years before the people of
Athens learned to use and abuse
their power, and 400 years before
any power arose that succeeded in
suppressing the Jew and his God
given right to live under his own
changeless law Whether the ex-
ecutive of that law was a leader
like Moses, general like Joshua,
one of the prophets, or kings, or
native princes, or priests, or for
eign governors of Babylon, Egypt
or Syria, the Jew was always given
substantial home rule under his own
divine law; that was liberty. There
were some exceptions for short
periods that only prove the rule;
the statement is substantially true.
We need not be surprised, there
fore, that that law came to be wor-
SHIPPED almost as Jehovah himself,
and in the final conflict between the
weak and stubborn Jew and the
brutal and all powerful Roman,
when that law was overthrow
there developed guerilla warfare
that for virulence and hate has
never been paralleled in history, and
was only terminated when the last
true blue Jew was dead or driven
into hiding or among the barbara
ans beyond the confines OF the Ro-
man Empire.
The Jewish race may be said to
have been born slaves. Descendants
of the twelve sens Of Jacob multi
piled under the oppression of Egypt
until they became numerous, and
the very fact of their belief in Je-
hovah, the one God, and his law,
whom all even the king himself
must obey, made them dangerous
subjects. These slaves under Mo-
ses made a dash for liberty under

1t is a mistaken idea that demo-
cratic government had it's birth at
Athens. Government of the people,
by the people and for the people
was born a thousand years before
Athens had learned how to sup
press her tyrants.
What is liberty? There can be
no liberty without law, because
men, as we find them, are wicked,
and the strong Cypress the weak.
Liberty without law is license.
There can be no liberty when the
executive makes the law, or is above
the law; nor when the law can be
changed at the will of the sovereign;
for in each such instance law is but
an instrument of tyranny, and we
then find despotism under mere
pretext of law.
We venture upon a definition:
Liberty is government under law,
enacted or ratified by the people,
and binding upon the executive and
the people alike.
It does not matter whether the
executive be called a president, king,
priest, prophet, bureaucracy or for
eign governor if the law be supreme
and self-imposed and cannot be
changed at the will of the executive
the people are free Names count
for little. Great Britain is as much
republic as is the United States.
Its laws are enacted by the repre-
sentatives of the people, who alone
can change them, and they are
binding upon the king. No monarch
of Great Britain has vetoed an act
of Parliament in 215 years since
1892, in the reign of William and
Mary; while we have had one Presi
dent who vetoed 278 acts of Con-
gress and allowed fourteen more to
die-and he never WINGED.
With this definition of Liberty
in view, the Jews were free peo-
ple-the first free people. They
we're governed by the law Of God
given from Mt. Sinai, and ratified
by themselves. Church and state
were one; the law of God was also
the law of the land therefore, bias
phemy against God was lese majestic
treason against the State-and
was punishable with death.

Uncle Sam Needs /
Cooks and Bakers to
Keep the Boys Fed Up"

Experiments by the officers of the
commisary department and the medical
corps of the navy has developed what
is believed to be the best food ration
in the military service of any nation.
Those experiments have consisted in
the purchasing, preparing, cooking, and
distribution of the food for the men of
the navy. 1t is required that the food
be not only appetizing and nourishing
but free from disease producing ele-
ments.
Uncle Sam is using the cafeteria plan
of serving the men, and when it is CON
sidered that each battleship carries
from 800 to 1000 men the food distribu-
tion problem is nothing small. Every
thing is done by the officers to make
the food just ''like mother used to
make" and this scheme is carried out
even to pies and pastry. The bill of
fare includes such delicacies as hot
cakes and syrup, pie, cake, hot rolls,
chocolate pudding, ice cream, lemonade,
grapefruit, canteloupe, oranges, ban,
anas, etc. On Sunday other delicacies
are served.
On the large sn1ps sUhe Ioou is COOK
ed on long ranges mot rifle ranges)
by means of electricity or oil. 1t is then
sent to distributing stations where it
is served ON large platters by cook,
who has charge of a mess of twenty
four men. Some men eat more, and large
numbers want seconds, so reserve
supplies are kept ON hand in substa-
tions and kept hot and appetizing.
On account of the Importance of this
service, it is readily seen that Uncle
Sam needs cooks and bakers for the
navy. 1t is held that this service is
just as important in serving the coun-
try as manning a gun or heaving coal.

Sutton, said the confession the state
alleges it has will be repudiated.
Kelly Says Nothing.
Kelly himself had nothing to say
today in his cell at the county Jail at
Logan. His wife today told the United
Press that her husband still insisted
that he did not remember making a con
fession and that he was innocent of the
crimes charged. Kelly is still in a ner-
vous condition following the all night
grilling by state agents Friday, but an
nounced himself as anxious for the be-
ginning of the trial. All Iowa today
was anxiously awaiting the beginning
of the trial, which is expected to solve
one of the cOuntry's most amazing
murder mysteries. The case, which has
caused considerable "bad blood be
tween citizens and state officials, ii
was predicted by both sides today
would cause some startling disclosures
Kelly has been in the Harrison cOun-
tv iail at Logan since late in May, when
he surrendered himself to the authori-
ties after being indicted by the Mont
gomery county grand jury for the
crimes which had been committed five
years ago.
Detective Indicted.
j. N. Wilkerson, former Burns de
tective, who has been aiding Kelly
has openly charged f. f. Jones, former
state senator from Villisea, with ''erim
inal knowledge of the murders, and
has charged Attorney General Havnei
with using illegal methods in getting
lcvidenee from alleged witnesses.
Wilkerson recently was indicted fol
alleged plundering of the Jones store al
lVillisea. 1t is charged the detective
sought personal papers when he con
spired with three Others to rob th'
store.
Jones previously had sued Wilkersoi
for 100000, charging slander. The jury
returned verdict against Jones.
Wilkerson at present is under ludiela
restrainment from making any com
ment on the murders or from interfer
ring with state witnesses. Since the IN
junction was issued Wilkerson has ad
dressed meetings in the case in omahi
and other cities outside the state a
which members Of the murdered persons
families were present and assisted II
the meetings. These meetings have de
no,.aced Havner, Jones and other stats
officials.
