AND ENGLAND'S AN OLD HAND

Packing, or the lack of it, has brought us Americans many scoldings in the course of our trade with for eign lands. There is corresponding comfort in the news that when a ChiI- can importer recently received three consignments from England and one from the United States, all of the same kind of goods, he suffered loss on account of breakage ranging from 3314 per cent on the British merchant disc and but 2 per cent on the Ameri- can.
 If these figures indicated anything like an average on our own goods there would be great cause for rejoic- ing. The truth of the matter is that in the direction of packing we still have a deal of progress to make. In countries like Colombia proper pack ing is often considered as more impor- tant than low prices.

ALASkA'S HEROIC DEAD

Assistant District Attorney Ragan is the third federal official to be mur- dered in Alaska within a year. The first was Deputy Marshal Calhoun of shal Evans of Seward.
 These men died for their country aud fellow men as heroically as died soldiers on the battlefields of France. Sometimes we are apt to forget the plOdding man in obscure place who goes about performing his duty from day to day. Somebody has said that the greatest hero is not the man to whom comes the opportunity to do something so dramatic in it's nature that it attracts the attention of many, but rather the man who in the routine and humdrum of his daily life does his duty to his country, his family, his associates, his fellow men. It is much the more difficult task
 Those men whose routine and hum drum it is to enforce the laws the people have made for their govern ment are constantly exposed to the ca prices of the mad and the vengeance of the vicious. They know it, and they face it with calmness, if they are heroes, refusing to permit it to deter them from, doing their duty.
 And it is well to bear in mind that constant unwarranted criticism and nagging of those who are serving the public often suggests crime to the mad and that criminals frequently go to extremes in crime if they think they have respectable backing or sym pathy.-Juneau Empire.
