St. Philips Church
The Fanatic

Paul, thou art mad, was the opinion of a man of the world about St. Paul. He was consid- cred a fanatic. Most people con- sider the fanatic a nuisance. Mrs. Society once said to her son, Do not get too enthusiastic; it is very bad form" Yet it is the fanatic that turns the world upside down, that gets the wild out of nature, that does things. When is the fanatic a hero, and when is he dangerous? All this will be the theme at St. Philips Church, Sunday, August "A at 7:30 p. m.
 Remember that August 31 is Labor Day Sunday. There will be special appropriate services.

SCOTT SIMPSON, INDIAN AGENT, VACCINATES
 12O INDIANS
Gives Some Interesting Information About a
 Primitive People

w. Scott Simpson, Indian agent at Telegraph Creek, arrived in Wrangell on the Hazel B. No. 4 Saturday evening. MT. Simpson was en route to Atlin via Skag- way and Carcross.
 When seen at the Wrangell ho- tel by the Sentinel reporter MT. Simpson was asked for the latest news concerning his work. The Indian agent said:
 Two weeks ago 1 returned from a trip to the trading post at the junction of the Dease and Liard rivers. In company with me were MT. Wm. Ware of the Hudson's Bay company and the Rev. Frederick Thorman of Tele- graph Creek. My chief object in making the trip was to vaccinate the Indians of that vicinity. Ow- ing to so many of the Indians be- ing away we made only 12O vac cinations. We had no trouble whatever in getting the Indians to submit to vaccination. The first thing I did when l arrived at the post was to look up several white trappers whom l knew to be in that vicinity. 1 explained to them the purpose of my visit, and asked them to help me out by letting me start in on them. When the Indians saw their white friends being vaccinated they wanted to know what it was all about. The white trappers ex- plained that it was to prevent sickness and disease. The Indi- ans then wanted the same treat ment and of courseII did not re- fuse them. You will probably get to see exactly how we did the job as MT. Richard Surratt was there with his moving picture machine and kept his little crank turning throughout the perform ance."
 Mr. Simpson was asked con- corning the mode of travel from Telegraph Creek to the trading post. He said: E
 'The distance is about 25O miles. We went by pack train to the head of Dease lake, a dis tance of 72 miles. We then travelled 28 miles across the lake in a small boat with a gas engine, and from the lake we went down stream 150 miles to where the post is located. The water is much higher than usual this year. There is an abundance of big game in the country" :"
 Mir. Simpson was asked con- corning the habits and character istics of the Indians on the Liard. He replied:
 "They are very different from the Indians you see around Wran- gell or Telegraph Creek. They are in a primeval state, but do not display any war-like tenden- cies. Meat is their principal food. They are nomads, and often carry all their worldly possessions on their back. Hunting and trap ping is the only life they know. If you talk to a father about put ting his child in a Government school he will invariably tell you that if the child goes to school he will forget how to hunt and trap. These Indians have no hatred for the white man. All they know of the white man and civilization is embodied in the Hudson's Bay trader whom they like because he will give them clothing. blan- kets, etc., in exchange for their furs. The various tribes get along with each other wonder fully well. When one tribe se- lects a district for hunting and trapping no other tribe ever un- dertakes to encroach on their grounds.

THIS CITY is NOT IN LINE

The Salvation Army drive which
was inaugurated week or more ago
finds this city short in its quota, only
$3.50 of the $500 required has been
subscribed. In view of the fact that
this city has always been so prompt
in complying with every request that
has been made upon it in the past, we
are somewhat surprised as we'll as dis
appointed in the present situation, and
we trust that the people will rally
round the flag and finish what has
been begun.
In all matters pertaining to relig-
ious, charitable or humanitarian work,
no other organization has been found
as prompt and active as the Salvation
Army. They have never hesitated to
go into the very worst places and I'M
der the most embarrassing circum-
stances. Of all the work that has been
done for the boys across the seas as
we'll as one this side the Salvation
Army has been the first to get into
action. Their work has always been
Purely a work of love. While some
sspersions have been made as to the
motives and conduct of certain other
societies, either justly Or otherwise, no
one has ever thought to raise word
Of criticism against the Salvation Ar
my. No one would think of doing so.
Boys coming back from over there
cheer the Salvation Army and the Red
Cross, while they have frequently
Kissed another organization that has
been accused of crooked dealing.

AMERICAN ITALIANS

Rome, June 6.-The Italian who has
lived long in America is helping to
Americanize Italy more potently than
other factors could. He has introduc-
ed American ideas and American ways
of doing things at every possible turn
when it is practical and more efficient
than the italian.
The Italo-American has brought
back from America an idea of better
housing conditions and if he decides to
settle again in Italy he builds home
patterned along American lines with
plenty of space around it and with
its division of rooms. Most Italian
families of the farming sections are
accustomed to live in one large room
while large numbers live in matched
huts which dot the sides of mountains
hidden among the trees and brush.
Several families live in what would
seem an ordinary American family's
habitat.

SINGLE MEN WON

The oall game yesterday afternoon
between the married men and single
men resulted in a victory for the SIN
giles in a score of z to 6. The lone
some and love-sick lads got a lead
early in the game and held it, increas-
ing their margin gradually until the
beginning of the ninth, when the score
stood Z to 3. Then the married men
suddenly remembered instructions
they had received from the heads of
their respective households, and be-
gan a desperate attempt to save their
hides. But they started too late. Try
as they would, they couldn't overcome
the lead piled up by their care-free
and irresponsible opponents, That
they were in earnest, however, is evil
denced by the fact that they brought
. three men across the plate, and died
hard, with the bases full.
Nanny Hill pitched for the single
men and was very effective until the
ninth inning, when he was hit hard
and often. His support went bad at
the same time, and the married men
started in to make up for lost time.
Harry Cause pitched for the benedicts
and did well, considering that he isn't
a pitcher by trade, but catcher. He
was relieved in the ninth by Oscar
Hill, who allowed no hits or runs in
this inning.
1t was good game and much enjoy
ed by all who were present, but the at
tendance was disaprointingly small.
The amount of the proceeds has not
been announced.

No league Of nations can enforce a

paid dearly, and alas the price has in

LIVE AND LET LIVE.

We believe that the above caption
would be good motto for all to go
by in regulating their every day af-
fairs. For 5000 years the human
family as whole has been made ID
of individuals who, as a rule have been
trying to do each other, to use the
modern vernacular. From the time
that sin entered into the world the hu-
man mind has been perverted from
the course of right and justice. At
first because of purely selfish motives
and more recently because the condi-
tons in life seem TO have made it OBJ
iigatory. Get all yen can, skin your
fellow man, rush, jump, grab and de-
YOUR and the devil take the one who
gets behind-that is what we gener-
ally say, but in truth the devil has had
them all and is causing all the trouble.
We may pi1ilOsophize, plan and en-
deavor as we will, the fact remains
that theer is always some one ready
to knock one down and go through his
pockets on each and every opportuni-
ty. 1t has come to be considered good
business to beat your neighbor so long
as you can do it and keep out of jail.
It will ever be so as long as selfish
ness fills the hearts of men. When we
begin to think of our fellow as having
the same inherent rights as ourselves
and get the right focus on justice,
then perhaps we will be different; but
as long as we measure justice by the
court decisions we will be on the de-
Tense and hence the aggressive as
we'll, ready to do any and everything
that holds out a dollar without a
threat.
We must learn to live and let live.
We must remember that all were Gre
ated with rights and privileges which
others were required to respect. We
should change our source of reason
ing, or rather our lack of reasoning,
and become logical in accordance with
the original meaning of the word.
