The Too Faithful Servant

It IS claimed that those who serve should have eye single to the performance of their duties that they should not look beyond that field. But is there not possibility of too great narrowness? May not those duties be discharged in such manner as to impnge disastrously upon the functioning of other servants?
 We have fin view an instance taken from the public press to-wit The Republican, incident of the state game warden's office. Two men had been arrested by deputy of the office for picking up some stranded fish which had been carried out into field by flow of irrigation water. The duty of the deputy clear; the in possession of fish out of season; it not his why, not his to in quirc by what means they had come into possession of them.
 Substantial justice was done by the game warden when the matter was brought to his attention. He dismissed the quite properly We criticising only the style reasoning which brought him to an absolutely correct conclusion He at first suggested that wire might be stretched all outflows from the canals that iIch piscaoral tragedies as was here presented might be avoided, though sec ond thought he admitted that the cost of such preventive would be prohibtve and there there fore no way to prevent this loss of fish.
 It is here that the game warden's snglenfss of eye appears His solictude for the conservation of the fish blinds him to the greater effort now being made all the world for the conservation of food and forage. To not glued to the duties of the game warden's office there would have been deeper for alfalfa at $3O ton, wheat and barley and milo maize at unheard of prices all exposed to the depredations of these wandering fish, than for the wellbeing of the fish which had broken the bounds of their aqueous reservation. The game warden, like another eminent American has a single track mind."

tion to a member of one class escorting a member of the other to the affair.
 As yet no definite arrangements have been made as to where the banquet is to be served. Members of both classes, however, seem to be very much in favor of the basement of the new Christian church on North Central avenue.
 Since the war only one banquet each year is being given by the senior and junior classes. Formerly there were two banquets each year, a junior senior banquet followed by a senior junior banquet. Now the two affairs are combined into one dinner. Last year, which was the first time only one banquet was given, there came very near being no banquet at all. By a very close vote it was decided to have the banquet instead of donating the money for the purpose to the use of the cadet corps of the coming year.
 The girls also decided not to try to overdo the dressing end of the game and did not come with the best dresses they could scrape up but dressed in sensible clothing.

The English Language

One of the recommendations for the Americani- zation of America is the employment of a common language-the only language of America the English language. That is a beginning at the root. In any language preserved the traditions, the customs and the habits of the land where that language is chiefly spoken written. There a greater bunder in the educational system of any state than to make provision for the teaching of a foreign language for the accommodation of the people of a community whether they were German, French Swede who happened to be in great numbers in that community. The cSildren of all people living in America should be taught willingly or unwillingly, the English language. No concessions should be in public offices to those who learned the language of the country
 We have never had any sympathy with the special crusade which of late has been carried on in some parts of the country against the German language against which we have made no declaration of war; We would raise objection to a public recognition of any other language than English.
 We do not mean that the study of foreign an- guages should be abolished from the schools We mean that provision for them should be made for American boys and girls who expect to make use of these languages in after life or who expect to use them in pursuit of studies which necessarily carry them into the literature of those languages
 young man for instance, who expects for busi- reasons to reside in any of the Latin American countries should be equipped with knowledge of

OWNERSHIP 1T
 FOWL DEBATED

Concerning the color of turkeys feathers and the condition of par ticular turkeys health some half dozen witnesses were called to testify in the case of Alonzo R. Jenkins versus J. R. Moore which was heard in Judge Dy- mans court yesterday on appeal from the justice court.
 Mir. Moore being able to delve into the details of the horrible accident whereby one of his turkeys had his leg amputated-had rather the best of the case and when his neighbors spoke their acquaintance with the lame bird there was no doubt in the minds of the jurors-Moore was the owner of the 50 head of turkeys in dispute.
 Jenkins and Moore have ranches six and one-half miles southwest of town. Their turkeys had way of being friendly and passed much of their time in one anothers society with the result that it became question as to owner ship.
 Jenkins instituted suit against Moore for possession of 50 head of turkey and won the case. He immediately re- plevined the turkeys which he sold for S2.50 a piece. In the meantime the case was appealed and in the jury yes terday giving judgment for the de- fendant, Jenkins will be forced to pay Moore the price he procured for the turkeys something like S125.

 The opportunity to learn foreign language, any foreign language should not be afforded pupil on the mere and remote chance that time he may have need of it, or because he wants to acquire a smattering of it sust for the name of it. The study of foreign languages has place in our elementary schools and instruction in foreign language should in case be given pupil who does not know English.

Endorsement of An Officer
Williams, Ariz., April

Williams, ArlZ., Aprll l. The Arizona Republican,:
 On reading your editorial of April on the Business of Bookkeeping" l was glad that the best paper in the state was with the officers in regard to enforcing the laws of the state. l, probably, have had as much experience with bootleggers as any other officer in the state and I might say that d man that engages in boojlegging. handles whisky that is sold at a big price and he knows that it is nearly death to the man who drinks it. Now, would call that bootlegger a murderer. When you go to arrest bootlegger you generally find him with a load of whisky and six-shooter, defying officers to arrest him. What are the officers going to do but protect themselves from criminals who are liable to commit murder in two ways, one, with doped whisky. the other with six-shooter?
 l know it is a hard proposition to have to kill man but when you are trying to enforce the laws and your life is in danger. what is the officer going to do.
 Twas confronted with the same prob lem last week when I had warrant for bootlegger, one who has sold some Of the most rotten whisky in Arizona He told several here that he would kill me on sight. Now, I would like to ask the general public what should be done under these circumstances, in arrest- ing this man, knowing that he carried an automatic gun. I say, give us law to handle these would-be murderers and they won't want to poison the public with their rotten whisky and they won't want to shoot the officers who go to arrest them. Give us the support of your papers in enforcing the laws. Here's hoping that all the boot leggers in the state will be given a job on the state highway for the next fifty years.
 Yours respectfully,

COASTWISE PLOTS
 BROKEN BY PROBE

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. g. (via Ketchikan)-Off of the department of justice are authority for the statement that the indict- ment of 56 Industrial Worker con- spirators at Sacramento this week is the result of an investigation that has been in progress for number of weeks. The probe, which was started immediately following the explosion of bomb in the residence of Governor Stephens, has disclosed the fact that the Industrials were planning the wholesale destruction of Pacific coast industries, shipping and otherwise interfering with war preparations. Federal agents are said to have discovered the nest of the plotters, obtaining evidence which threatens the extermination of all the conspirators. Among the plans of the plotters was the de- struction of the vessels now under construction at Seattle and other Pacific coast cities.

CABLE IB BROKEN;
 NEWS IS HELD UP

The Alaska military cable parted during the night at some point south of Sitka and Alaska, today, is com pletely cut off from the Outside world. Efforts to establish commer- cial communication via the radio stations had not succeeded up to a late hour this afternoon, and the Canadian land lines were reported down as soon as the Canadian tele- graphers learned that the American cable had parted.
 If the cable repair ship can be sent north immediately to mend the broken cable, the service should be restored before the end of next week. Otherwise, Alaskans will be compelled to depend upon an over worked radio and the unreliable Canadian line for their news for an indefinite time.

The seventh attack was made this morning, and the first six, were beaten down by the French forces after several hours hard fighting. The action against Verdun, it is be- lieved, marks the comme/cement of the long expected drive along the Western front. The casualties on both sides have been unusually heavy.

stacking, although long exposed to the weather. And the outcroppings of the ledge are as hard as bone. The unexposed coal contains consid- erable moisture but this will become less, MT. O'Connor believes, after the vein has been opened up.
 Coal has been in general use at the Jack Singleton roadhouse, at the mouth of Lignite creek, during the past year. The fire in the range has been burning steadily since last September and the stove apparently is none the worse for the unusual heat test. In another part of the road house, coal is burned in an or dinary heater, without grates. Sin gleton hauls the coal from Lignite creek to his roadhouse in a hand sleigh, one load lasting as long as three loads of wood, hauled on the sameA sleigh.
 White & Van Houten, who have contract to supply the Alaskan Engineering commission with 200 tons of coal, delivered at 43-Mile, are working steadily in their ledge and several loads of coal have been delivered. They are mining about a mile up Lignite, their tunnel be- ing in nearly twenty feet.

FIRST COAL HERE, FROM UP LIGNITE:
 BIG VEIN TAPPED

The first shipment of native coal ever received in Nenana, arrived in town on Thursday nights train, direct from the Nenana coal fields, where G. A. O'Connor and J. G. K. Toussaint have tapped one of the most promising of the many lodges in that district. The shipment con- sisted of several sacks, probably a quarter of ton in all, and it is now being burned in numerous stoves and ranges about town for the purpose of demonstrating the good burning qualities of the coal, which will become available in un- limited quantities as soon as the rail road has been completed to the mouth of Lignite creek, a distance of thirty-five miles beyond the present end of the line, or about fifty-five miles from Nenana.
 Mir. O'Connor, who is in town on a hurried business trip, says that the coal which they have filed upon is a blanket ledge, about seven feet thick, close to the creek and not more than quarter of mile from the Nenana river. The ledge is of the sort easily and cheaply worked and can be developed quickly into a producing mine. The only ob-

stacle in the way of going ahead with the work is the lack of trans portation facilities. The hauling is too costly under present conditions. It is the intention of MT. O'Connor however, to send several more small shipments to town before warm weather renders freighting unsafe, for the purpose of making the people of Nenana acquainted with the coal and creating a market for the larger shipments which will follow as soon as the steel reaches Lignite creek, which should be during the latter part of the summer.
 Mir. O'Connor and his partner have secured lease on a portion of the Nenana waterfront, to be used for storage purposes later on. The lease covers a strip 50 100 at the foot of Market street, downstream from the N. c. warehouse.
 In describing the coal, MT. O. Conor says that it is good grade of Ignite. It burns freely, does not clinker, the sulphur content is low and the ash about five per cent. That the coal is not the sort that slacks is indicated by the presence of great blocks of the fuel along
