The New World.

With the close Of the war there
is spread before humanity new
world. The earth has been rem.
carnated. The old prison shell
of autocracy, which so long en-
cased hundreds of millions of
treedom-hungry souls and which
has recently threatened the lib
erty of all mankind has been bro.
ken, and billions of glad hearts
throughout the whole earth are
throbblng with the happiness OF
universal peace and freedom.
This thought, after the long,
dark night of war, brings an un-
speakable bliss which men have
a right to eujoy to the utmost;
but there are still in this bright
new world, some serious prob
lens which must be solved.
Although humanity Is now free
from the menace of the Kaiser's
mailed list and sword, there Is
another freedom which must be
gained if we are to be free indeed,
and that IS q freedom from the
social and industrial enslavement
of gold IN the hands of those sci
fish, profiteering, autocratlc cap
itallsts who produce nothing OF
any real valae but who, although
they already have more of this
worlds goodsthan they can right
fully employ, are ever struggling
to gain more, regardless OF the
fact that by so doing they are con-
stantly making harder for the
world 3 real workers and produ
GERS to obtain even the true neces'
sites of life.
While the world war has stop
ped IN Europe, there are still mil
lions of people throughout the
world who hate peace and love
war, and who despise the univer
sal freedom to which all mankind
is entitled and desire only autoc
racy. At the moment they are
lost sight of but they still survive
IN great mum bers on every part
OF the globe. Many Of them are
camounaging their real feelings
by pretended fondness for uni
versal free dom when in reality
they loathe 1t and await only a
favorable opportunity to do their
utmost to destroy it. Perhaps
they may never again dare to
strike In open warfare at our
great constitutional guarantees
OF liberty, but they worship the
god of selfishness and secretly
plan and work for the regime OF
subserviency of the many to the
few rather than for the era Of
cooperative management, work
and benefit which Is so essential
for the public veal.
Here in America, at least, tc
secure this new freedom it is only
necessary to use lntelligently the
forum, the press and the ballot,
for the American peolpe are ab-
solutely their own masters and
can, by amendments to their Con
situtlon and laws, bring about
whatever changes may be mosl
conducive to the general wei
fare.

BER|NG TRADER
 TAXES PASSAGE
 ACROSS CANADA

VANCOUVER, B. C.-Captain Joe Bernard, a daring trader of Nome, Alaska, is spending about five years working his way eastward in his boat, the Teddy Bear, from the Boring Sea through the northeast passage to the Atlantic ocean.
 Reports came from Alaska some time ago that Bernard was endeav- bring to navigate the northeast passage, but no details were given Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Canadian Arctic explorer, on his return here recently from the North confirmed the reports and said he thought Der nard would reach the Atlantic safely as he was good navigator and was travelling in fairly well known waters.
 Bernard has been out of touch with civilization for about two years anu, dSCoIulilS to oteldHSSoH, pIoD- ably will not appear in the Atlantic until 1921. The trader left Alaska's S far northeastern outposts in 1916, and planned to make the trip in five years.
 If Bernard succeeds, he will be one of the very few people who have ever negotiated the northeast passage. The latest to come through the icy channel was Roald Amund- sen, who negotiated the passage in 1906. Stefansson planned to make the trip but the failure of boat to meet him after he had completed the worst part of the trip on foot caused him to change his plans. Bernard worked along the nor thern Canadian coast with some of Stefansson's party in 1916, the ex- i plorer said. He soon left the ex- plorers, however, and pressed on into the barren white waters to the east. The next heard from him may be when he turns up at some far northern Atlantic port.

FISH AND GAME. CLUB OF JUNEAU
 SEEKS REFORMS

JUNEAU-'In California, Oregon and Washington and Southern Brit ish Columbia waters, salmon fish ermen look up from their nets and ask: Where do we go from here, boys?' The cannerymen reply, 'To Alaska, the last chance
 In these words, the Alaska Fish and Game club, of Juneau, in a re- port covering fish depletion made to Thomas Riggs, Jr., governor of Alaska, sums up what it calls "a miserable contest between nature and man." The report was made public by K. J. White. chief of the official Alaska Publicity Bureau.
 Strenuous efforts must be put forth for the maintenance of the salmon, attacked as they are by the fisheries during the most vital period of their existence, the spawning season." the report continues. When the fish are taken in the spawning season, not only is the fish lost forever but billions of eggs which might reproduce the kind are gone. When it is considered that an adult female salmon contains at least 5000 roe, that it took 30,000,000 female and an equal number of male fish to supply the pack for 1917 and a like number for that of 1918, assuming that the run is equally divided between the sexes, what a tremendous loss it means for reduc- tion and maintenance.
 ''It is truly wonderful that the specie has survived the handicap Nature is struggling desperately against man, but he is going to beat her in Alaska, as well as elsewhere, and the race is approaching the finish"
 In statement accompanying the report MT. White asserts salmon are becoming scarcer each year in i localities where canneries have been i operated for any considerable period i of years.
 "When the matter of depicting ] the Alaska waters of fish is men. toned, the statement is invariably made that Alaska's output of canned and fresh fish is increasing with each succeeding year" Mr White says. While the statement is par tially correct, the increased output is due solely to the fact that many new canneries and salteries are be- ing installed every year and the waters are being fished more thor oughly than ever before."

day in 1905, after he had reviewed
the eighth regiment at Camp Lincoln
and had trooped the line with his
mounted military staff, that same
evening he attended a banquet at the
camp and very calamity marched into
the banquet tent with Mrs. John r.
Marshall leaning on his manly and un-
prejudiced arm, and Mrs. Deneen was
leaning on the arm of Col. John R.
Marshall, and they both made them
selves right at home while freely
mingling with the Colored people
from all parts of this state; since
that time to the present no other
chief executive of this state has at
tempted such a thing.
Mr.Deneen as governor and as pri-
vate citizen has another manly trait,
namely, whenever any Colored people
call on him they always take their
turn in being admitted into his pri-
vate quarters, and they are never
forced to stand around and wait sew
eral hours or until after his White
callers have been admitted first, even
if the Colored callers were two or
three hours ahead of them. There
are very few prominent public men
who have the moral courage and the
backbone to adhere to that plain and
fair rule when it comes to dealing
with Colored men.
In winding up his official duties at
Springfield, Mr.. Deneen returned to
Chicago and re-engaged in the prac-
tice of his lifelong honored profes-
sion, meeting with the greatest sue
cess.
For many years he has been presi-
dent of the board of trustees of Nc
Kendree college, located at Lebanon,
Ill. He is an honored member of the
American, Illinois State, and the Chi
cago Bar associations, the Law club,
etc.; he is a member of the follow
ing clubs: Union League, Hamilton,
Exmoor, Beverly and Englewood
Clubs.
For our part we are perfectly will
ing to follow Mr.. Deneen into the
City Hall as mayor of Chicago, or
on to the White House, Washington,
d. c., as President of the United
States in 1920.

THE PROFESSIONAL AND POLITICAL CAREER OF
HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN

Hon. Charles Samuel Deneen, who
would make an ideal mayor of Chi
cago, is to the manner born, having
been ushered into this grand old
breathing and beautiful world at Ed
wardsville, this state, on May 4, 1868.
He was the dutiful son of Samuel
and Mary F. ashley Deneen, After
finishing his common school educa-
ton he entered McKendree college
in 1882, and in time he graduated
from it with high honors. After re-
ceiving his A. B. he taught school
for almost three years. On May 10,
1894, he was happily united in mar
rage to Miss Bina Day Maloney of
Mt. Carroll, this state, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Deneen are the very proud par
ents of four bright and highly in
teresting children, namely, Charles
Ashley Deneen, Mrs. Dorothy De-
neen-Blow, Miss Francis Viola, and
Miss Bina Day Deneen. For years
Mr.. and Mrs. Deneen and the other
members of their family have resided
in an elegant home at Asst West 61st
place.
Mr.. Deneen was admitted to the
bar in 1886 and he has very success
fully pursued the practice of his hon
ored profession in this city since 1890
to 1904. Mr.. Deneen has always
taken to politics as easily as a duck
takes to water. He was elected to
the Illinois house of representatives
in 1892 and made his presence felt
in that body in the most forcible man
ner; he honorably served as attorney
for the sanitary district of Chicago
from 1895 to 1896; he was elected
states attorney of Cook in 1896, and
reelected in 1900; during that Pc
Rod he successfully established bank
er's row in the pen at Joliet, I'LL.
In 1904 he was elected governor Of
Illinois and reelected to that same
honored position in 1908 serving with
great honor and distinction until Jan.
1, 1918.
AS governor of this state, no scan
dal of any kind was attached to his
two administrations as such, which
speaks volumes for him, and at no
time as the chief executive Of this
state was he fearful of his social
standing. On Thursday, Governors

in business in a small way, corner of
55th and State streets, but under the
guiding and conservative influence of
its president, Mr.. Oliver F. Smith,
the bank has become one of the very
strong financial institutions of Chi
cago.

ing, and with the latest interior i'm
provements the main banking room
is more than 125 feet long.

and almost right up to the present
hour the whole Christian or civilized
world has been engaged in bloody war
the face of the whole earth las it
were has been drenched in human
blood-not in the blood of heathens
or savages, but in the blood of high
ly civilized Christians-who have
clutched each other by the throats in
the most deadly combat, the like of
which has never been witnessed nor
surpassed in the darkest and the
bloodiest annals in the history of the
world.
On Wednesday, Christmas Day, no
doubt the churches will be crowded
to hear songs and praises chanted
unto Jesus, but the religious exercises
will be entered into more from for
mality than anything else.
Loudly and over-dressed women
will be in evidence, and they will be
so busy in inspecting each others big
outlandish hats, diamond rings and
very tight-fitting. rich silk hobble
skirts, or so-called dresses, which will
strike them just below or above their
knees and fit their lovely and we'll
shaped forms to perfection, that they
will be unable to inform anyone what
the preachers were really talking
about.
With few exceptions the gentlemen
who may happen to drop into the
churches will be engaged in figuring
up how to make ten million dollars
the coming year by increasing the
prices on all of the necessities of life,
thereby squeezing the very life blood
out of their unfortunate fellow crea-
lures, and lamenting over the fact
that the bloody world war came to a
close too soon, causing them the loss
of many millions of dollars which
would have continued to roll into their
capacious pockets for the munitions
of war which they have been patriot
ically furnishing the United States
government at excess profits for the
past four or five years, that the
remarks of the long-winded min
listers, generally speaking, will not
leave a lasting impression on their
