MORE OF THE MOCK

The proceedings of the San Fran cisco convention indicate that the party which won the election of 1912 on the cry Reduce the high cost of living and of government" and that of 1916 on the slogan, He kept us out of war;" is still on the job try ing to put it over'' on the unsuspect- ing.
 The platform endorses MT. Wilson and all his works, without reserva- tion, evasion or equivocation. The nominee is a man concerning whom it will be whispered that his views differ widely from those of President Wilson and that he may be depended upon, if elected, to reverse many of the administration policies.
 The platform is silent on the liquor question, but the candidate is a man concerning whom it will be whispered in quarters where it will do good, that he is wet and stands for the loos- ening up of the Eighteenth amend ment. Bryan will point to the plat form; Tammany to the candidate. The question, of course, is one for congressional legislation and the president will have little or nothing tc do with it's settlement, In this matter it has been discovered that each congressman votes as he believes l his constituents wish.
 The radicals will be told that the platform endorses all the revolution. ary theories and policies of the nation. al administration, while to the con servatives it will be whispered thai Cox is really one of them. and may ''e depended upon to be particularly friendly to vested interests.
 In other words, we will agaio wit ness the performance, under the dir. ect1on of 3 candidate who is one ot thc country's smoothest professional politicians, of "'working both sides o- the street." Whatever may be said ot the ethics of such campaign, is effectiveness, in the light of history cannot be questioned It is up to Re publlcans to put into the campaigr rom now until election day every ounce of intelligence and energy that they are able to summon to the 1lght, never forgetting or failing te remlnd the people of the fact tha the big issue of the campaign is the Wilson administration, it's ineffciency and economy record-its strong so c1alistic tendencies and it's un-Ameri canized league of nations covenant

PHILOSOPHY OF INDUSTRY

: England became a great mechanical hatlon because of her wealth of ma. terlals, her secure physical situation and her strong protective policy. She mad great beds of coal and iron, and mad the men to work them. Shall we. possessing far greater wealth of min- erals ana lar greater security of physical situation, possessing bound less domain and an ingenious and un- .tiring population, permit all opportun- tues ot invention and progress to be confined to Europe? Shall we contri- bute nothing to the advancement of mankind? Shall we not rather lead than follow? Shall we content our selves with the rudimentaI industry of agriculture, the industry of Adam. and depend upon other nations for our mechanical contrivances?
 Rather let it be our aim to develop every aptitude of our people, SO that our country may, through the intelli- gence, ingenuity and virtues of it's citizens, continue the work of up- building a great and free nation on this hemisphere from which the light of true social science may shed it's rays back upon the fading civiliza- tlOns of the older continents. re- kindling the torch of hope and reviv- ing the dropping aspirations of their peoples.
 It would be an extraordinary effect or liberty and of self-government of which we boast, if the intellectual work of the world were confined ex- cluslvely to the people living under despotic and monarchial governments and nothing but the least intellectual forms of labor performed in a free and self-governing republic

BOOST FOR ALASKA PULPWOOD

Paper" weekly New York pub lication devoted to everything re- garding the manufacture, sale, and use of pulp and paper" contains an article in connection with Alaska as a source of pulp supplies. This mag azine is a leader in it's field and ac- cepted among paper manufacturers as a reliable authority.
 The article is headed, Are Alaska Pulp-Wood Lands Practical Possi- bility?", and discusses it's relation to Canadian supply sources, whether or not it can compete with Canada, and the possibilities of Alaskan timber re- sources from a standpoint Of profl- table development in the near future. The advantages enumerated include immense supplies of timber, ample water power and low prices. Some American newsprint manufacturers. ," says the magazine article, "belleve that the cost of transportation will offset these advantages to such an ex- tent that Alaskan pulp will not be able to compete with the Canadian pulp in the near future. The fact that pulp and paper mills are being sue cessfully operated in nearby British Columbia seems to be evidence enough that Alaska, with similar tim Der and power resources and witt comparable transportation facilities, can compete with Canada as far as business on the Pacific coast is concerned"
 Despite this view the article con- cedes that new sources of supply for raw material are imperative if the industry is not to pass entirely from the control of the American in terests." In order to keep this con- trol in American hands, mills have been springing up in California, Washington and Oregon. This has been particularly noticeable in lum pOh 1iillo WHICH nave brought the center of the timber industry to the Pacific Northwest That this has not as yet been true of the pulp indus try is said to be due to other than a lack of material resources and "be cause of the much larger investment required per unit and the need for power" The writer then admits that even this influence will not longer oetard the development of Alaskan re- sources, saying, "But it seems evident that Alaska, with it's practically per manent supply of power development IS destined to become a second Nor way Conceding that for few years Alaska will not be able to compete with the Eastern United States or canadian pulp in the province of Oue- bec, or Ontario, There is no oues- tlon but that real opportunities for Pacific trade are open to such mills"
 The suitability of the variety of timber found in Alaskan forests for making pulp is admitted Not only is it suitable for newsprint but cer- tain grades of it can be used for the production of bond, manila, tissue. pure fibre, and other high grade

WHEN WILL 1T HAPPEN AGAIN?
Some Say in Twenty-Eight Years;
Others Say in A Hundred.

February in this year has five Sun
days. The question which has come
to the minds of many persons Is,
When will such a thing happen
again? Many have used simple arith-
metic, have multiplied seven (the
number of days in a week. by four
1.-THE number of years intervening be-
tween Leap Years. and have derived
the answer, twenty-eight. But others
have presented the theory that Feb
ruary has five Sundays only once III
each century. Which is right, or is
either?
From an old Ledger file it is found
that February, 1880, had five Sun
days lin speaking of it editorially the
statement was made that February
1852 also had five. 1t is true that
from 1852 to 1880 was % years; so
maybe those who used simple arith-
metic were right after all. But wait;
from 1880 to 1920 is 40 years. There
fore both the twenty-eight year and
the hundred theory is d~isproven. Who
can get the right answer. When will
February again have five Sundays?

2 YEARS IN PRISON
FOR MOTOR DRIVER

Motorists, especially those who
speed their cars, had better read the
following news item from the St.
Louis Post Dispatch and deliberate.
The penalty for striking anyone with
a motor car and killing them is heavy.
There are some who have believed
that the payment of a fine or dam
ages would absOlve them from the re-
suits Of their carelessness but the best
illustration of what the consequences
can be is illustrated here. Take warn
ing Mr.. Speeder:
The most severe penalty ever as
sessed in st. Louis against a person
held responsible for an automobile
fatality was fixed by a jury in Judge
Klene's court this week when it
found Charlie P. Whittier, 20 years
old, a negro, of 2520 North Taylor
avenue, guilty of fourth degree man.
slaughter and set two years in the
penitentiary as his punishment.
Heretofore the severest penalty as.
sessed for carelessness resulting in
an automobile fatality has been i'm
prisonment for one year in Jail. In
most cases it was six months in jail.
Under the law the maximum pen
atty for the offense charged against
Whittier is 10 years in the penitcn-
tiary.
Whittier, while driving his fathers
moving a truck at Union boulc.
ward and st. Louis avenue, Aug. 20
last, ran down and killed Grace Burke,
6 years old, of BOIL North Union
boulevard, daughter of Police Ser
geant Patrick Burke.
The child's neck was broken and
she was dead when picked up. At
the Coroner's inquest a verdict was
returned which charged Whittier with
criminal negligence.
Witnesses testified that the auto
mobile was going Is to 25 miles an
hour. There was variance of test.
mony as to whether Whittier sounded
his horn.
Whittier testified that the emer-
gency brake on the truck had been
out of order several days and that
when he applied the foot brake to
avoid striking the child it failed to
work.
