GOD AND coz
By Wilbur D. Nesbit

Who soothes the siehs of sorrow
And heals the hurts of pains
Who gives us for the morrow
The songs we sing again3
Who taught us love for others?
Who guards us as we roam2
Who links our hands as brothers
And sanctifies the home?
Who 9irds our souls with sureness
That we may cast out fear7
Who blesses woman's pureness
And bids us hold it dearl
Oh, whispered in our praying
From cradle to the sod
Our name-our faith displaying
The hallowed name of Godi
Who teaches torture's terror
And laughs at lies and loot1
Who holds no faith is fairer
Than one to shame brute2
To whom are women shrieking
And sobs of children MANNED
AS sweet as some one speaking
OF those both loved and famed3
Who spurns the i'll and lowly
That falter at his gate?
Who holds supremely holy
The hoarsest curse of hate7
Oh, bestial, hellish being
On Gods great name a blot!
Unthinking and unseeing,
The Prussians call it Gott!

AIR MAIL PILOTS SOLVING
 MANY NAVIGATION PROBLEMS

Washington, Aug 21.-The air mail pilot Is solving the problem of flying in all sorts Of weather. Prior to the establishment of the Air Mail Service it was regarded as impractic able to make flights with airplanes during severe. storms.
 The practice of this daily serv- ice has shown that the mail can be carried through the air in the teeth of storm. ......-.......
 On three or four occasions the air mail pilots have encountered se- were thunder and tightening, wind, hail and rain without being stop ped in their flight. No flight at tempted in a storm has yet failed.
 On Thursday Lieut. stephen Bon sal from Philadelphia, to Washing ton ran into violent thunderstorm at Laurel, Md, at an altitude or 5000 feet and proceeded on his way to the landing field in washing ton without interruption. It was impossible to distinguish any land marks in such torrents of rain. When he descended to a lower alti- tude for observation he was near the Yirleess towers at Radio, Va. To observers he appeared to drop out of the clouds from nowhere at an angle of 45o to a height of about 300 feet when he leveled the plane and made 8, perfect landing Potomac Park in the midst of a tor rent os rain. The plane arrived on schedule time, not being delayed by the storm. The propeller was slightly damaged by the pelting rain.

BROTHER GETS
 AN ADVANCEMENT

Ms. G. G. Miller received word on one of the last boats that her brother, Albert Hauxhurt had been appointed first Lieutenant in the Naval Reserves and was now act ing cn one of the transports con veying troops from some Atlantic port to. some French port.
 Albert Hauxhurst is well remem- bered here by old residents as he came to Skagway when a mere boy aud after attending school for Bey- eral years, went tn work in the White Pass and Yukon Route shops, where he leanred the trade Of ma chinist. After finishing under master mechanic Van Cleave and Howard Ashley, he went east and has worked for the past four years in the Brooklyn navy yard.
 Lieutenant Hauxhurst is married and hls wife now wears six service starts as she already had five broth CTS in the service.
 It goes without saying that this young soldier will give a good ac- count of himself and Skagway may we'll feel proud of his promotion.

tories just now, and get down to emptying the pockets of meat prof iteers whose homes are In the big centers of Canada and the United States snd also round up gamblers in stocks and gamblers of every kind far and wide who make mockery of the noble sacrifices of the blood of sons who are sent over seas 70 fight the nations battles.
 Yukon has hard enough time to get along at any period at the end of the earth, where prices average in normal times thrice what they do in the heart Of the continent; and now she has the added burden of her gold buying only half what it does in peace times; and is call ed on 10 give up part of her home food supply, while there are other pernicious agitators Roosevelt and Hornaday and other big game head hunters anxious to stop the north- erners for all time from using the big game.
 The thing to do for Yukon now is to throw off all game restric- tions rather than to put the lid on tighter than ever before. The neces- sary game the present limited popu- lation of Yukon will use will not be a handful compared to the quantity available. Even the wolves consume far more than the people, and yet the laws call for more pri- yation and restriction to the north erner.-DawSon News.

GIVE THE PEOPLE THE GAME

Ill-timed legislation again has its inning to the detrinent of the de yelopment O Yukon and of the people fighting aganst the great odds O climate and elements in this far Dorthland.
 An international agreement has been made to stop the killing of Ger tain migratory fowl in the north land until September l. By that time many of the fowl are gone.
 A few brief weeks and Yukon will have no chance to shoot wild fowl at al until another years rolls round. In the meantime the count less pot-hunters and others of the outside world will bR out shooting that same game all winter.
 Yukon, with it's handful of peo- pie, struggling next to the north pole could not get enough game to make a drop in he bucket com pared 10 the total outside supply; yet what it could get here would De of vast adYantase to this region
 Yukon is Overrun with caribou moose, mountain sheep and bear, and has millions off wild geese, ducks and .imilar fowl here.
 When the Allied nations are go- ing on next to famine schedule in their heroic sacrifice to properly feed he fighting men at the front, why should Yukon refrain from us ing this vast and almost untouched meat supply of the North; why continue to draw 10 the maximum on the limitel stocks Of food of the outside world, Xwhy deprive others and keep hOarding great useless bands of wild game on the Yukon hills and in Yukon lakes?
 This article is not in contention for privilege O. indiscriminate slaughter of game. something which the News always has fought, but for the light to kill game for legiti mate use. Instances have been recorded where tnoughtless or consclenceles hunters shot down many caribou in The bed runs just ror the sordid pleasure of killing. No on can defend such action. No one can defend the privilege sought by the well-groomed hunter with his elaborate outfit who seeks to come into the country and shoot big game simply to get the horns for trophies, or to photograph the mass of flesh of the victims or mark his record on his gunstock or in his diary, and then let the meat spoil. The law should require that every bird or animal killed should be consumed for food to the last ounce. But when Yukon needs the game Cor food it should have it. That is why nature put it here.
 Again, why should the people Of the North be required to pay the enormous prices which prevailed here for imported meats and not have full access 10 the use of the game that is here?
 The several governments will be doing more good to the people if they will cease making oyer-reach- ing game laws -Or distant terri

GOVERNMENT SHOULD ACT
 QUICKLY

The Anchorage Chamber of Com merce, in 8 set of resolutions which it nas passed. present some very cogent reasons why the gov ernment should extend a help ing had to aid the mining indus try in the United states and it's possessions. Recent investigations have revealed that the gold dollar has decreased 50 per ceni tn pur- chasing power within hte past five years, hence, it may be said that the gold miners are nov losing, as compared to former times, thirty cents on each dollars worth of gold that they extract. The value of gold is maintained because of its value as money. If it were not so employed, it would De used chiefly in the arts. While, in a way. the value of gold is fixed, Yet it is at the whim or caprice ssof it's purchasing power, which may increase, or decrease, ss the case may be. The purchasing power of the dollar is now on the decline, and the cost of mining Is on the increase. That's the situation that confronts us.
 We believe that the government would be well within its province to lend assistance to the gold min ing Industry. Other minerals and metals may be profitably mined in these war times for the reaon that the respective prices have largely increased, while, as we have said before, gold has decreased. Take copper, for instance. It is now 26 c nts the pound. The demand for it increases it's price, so that copper mines gre working full blast under the sama conditions that cause gold to decline in value. Platinum, an- other precious mineral, used to be about the same price as gold. Now it has jumped to over a hundred dollars the ounce-all due to the great demand for it. It is some thing of a new situation, but a little study of the matter will re- veal the justice of the present agi- tation for government aid.
 The local chamber takes the view that the government should give bonus to encourage the development of new prospects and to induce pros pectors to make further discoveries Of gold. Without some such fin ancial aid or some adequate assist ance, 1t can readily be seen, in the abnormal conditions that are pre- yailing, that the mining industry is certain to suffer. It will suffer for the reason that it will not be profit able, and no one these days can afford to work at an unprofitable thing.
 We have in mind a mining operat or who had planned to install small mill on his mine in this vii einity this season, in the hope of being able to take out some gold. He found 1t impracticable to pro ceed with the installation Of the
