TyHE apparently marvellous way in which
indians Eskimos and other primitive
l. peoples make their way through forests.
snow covered areas other regions that
have little to indicate direction to white
newcomers has led to a widespread belief that
tbov possess a mysterious sixth sense OF direc-
ton.
Stefansson the Arctic traveller. who has lived
much with Eskmos, is very sceptical about the
existence OF any superiority of sense Of dircc-
ton among primitive peoples OF any kind and
gives strong evidence from personal experience
that Eskimos have no such superiority.
The ability of Indians and others to find their
way he attributes solely to their familiarity
with the country through which they are pass
ing. They note many things that they have
seen before and that have no significance to
the stranger in their land. White men can and
do acquire tho same ability to find their way

archy always among the Swly? What means
all this spirit Of unrest throughout the land?
After long meditation the putocrat was able
some dregrce satisfied him, and finally he de-
duccd the following principles and maxims:-
Anarchy is the most deadly peril which
threatens the human race today-as deadly to
plebeians TO patricans.
ANARCHY is the antipode OF civilization; it has
never been factor in society and never can be.
Anarchy can only make progress in com
munity where deep-seated discomfort exists.
"Discontcnt arises out Of unbearable wrongs
inflicted upon the great mass of the common
people

and that if the men OF wealth would study the
subject, plutocracy might be indefinitely per-
petuated
What are the objects OF plutocracy?" he in
quired. why is it that men wish to pile up
tower in solitude above the snow line? such
riches avail them nothing These financial
peaks OF the Andes useless to humanity as
useless to the owner as to the people The
wealth ceases to be useful to the owner Any
accumulation OF riches above that altitude is a
waste Of energy and serves only to tantalize
the popuace."
During the year since armistice night the
plutocrat had read widely and reasoned deeply
The New York herald., 1920-01-25

when they have learned to know country.
when the land is equally strange to the white
man and the Indian or the Eskimo. the white
man. because of his better developed reasoning
power. is more likely to have correct line of
direction than the Eskimo.
Stefansson tells how at a time when his little
party was in great need of food. one Of his
Eskmos Tannaumirk, came homo late at night
and caused great rejoicing by relating his sue
cess in killing a caribou which he had started
to pursue early in the morning. lie was the
hero ofehe hour and recounted his adventures
i'm great detail. When he finished his story Ste
fansson asked him whether it a long way
10 the spot where the meat lay and whether he
had cached it safely. The Eskimos answer
vas that he had covered the meat with snow
and set traps by It. ana that the place was a
long way Off. Stefansson volunteered to go with
him the next morning. but Tannaumrk said
this would not be necessary If nc were to start
The New York herald., 1920-01-25

early in the morning he would, without assist
ance. be able to get the meat home by night.
Bright and early the next day he off with
sled and dogs. but it had long been pitch dark
when he returned. In answer to questions he
said that he had been hurried all the time; that
he had hastily loaded the meat on the Sled had
set two additional traps by the deer kill. maxi
ing four altogether and had come right back
home.
The next day about noon Tannaumirk had
gone Off somewhere to set fox traps Stefans-
son and his companion. Dr. Anderson. heard
some of their dogs bowling and whining be-
hind ridge about half mile away from the
camp. The sounds indicated that the dogs
had been caught in traps. AS the weather
was about 10 degrees below zero, there
danger that If the dogs paws, If pnched i'm

dogs valueless for service. Stefansson and An-
derson .hastened therefore to the rescue. They

Usually those wrongs are the result of gov
and generally these two forces work IN unison
THE senseless duel over the League of Ma
tions waged between the President and the SEN
ate has resulted in no profit to the people. In
tho meantime the great work Of reconstruction
has been wholly neglected and anarchists have
seized upon the circumstance to scatter abroad
their nefarious propaganda.
.'The arrest and deportation of few anarch-
lists will prove wholly Intellectual in uprooting
anarchy This is only superficial cure. The
radical remedy is to give the common people
square deal and in that manner appease the un-
quiet among the masses.

fact they participate not at all. They exercise
no influence in the state. They do not govern;
they are the governed The voice of the com

government; they shape the destnes of the
state; they control the voice of the press. This
is so. and, in the very nature of things. must be
So for the lowly and the unlettered cannot gov
the opulent and the wise. Therefore it fol-
low that plutocracy is an inherent ingredient OF
civilization; it has always governed society and
will continue always to govern it.
"Plutocracy would never lose it's grip upon
society and government except for the brazen
arrogance and Grass ignorance of the second
generation.
"Plutocracy's fancied position OF security will
prove as mythical and unsubstantial in Amer
lea when the "whirwinds of rebellion" shake
the continent as it did in Europe when the
tempest of revolution burst upon Russia.
Therefore. If putocracy wishes to safeguard
itself from annihilation and preserve to it's off
spring its fortunes and palaces 1t should give
instant heed to the gravity OF the situation in
the United States and urge upon the government
meaures for the immediate pacifcaton Of the
masses. Plutocracy should itself join in these
measures and in particular it should dcsist
from itsFeckless rampage of profteering.
ut is better for plutocracy itself to pull down
in some degree the stupendous peaks of wealth
above the line than to wait for the mani
acs of revolution to tear them down"
These principles terminated in the mind of
the plutocrat as he stood in his window on
armistice night Watching the turbulent masses
surging in the streets of the metropolis.

but he made no headway. Then. as quickly as
the thought could be formed the Italian people
turned against him.
Orlando, patriot to the last and putting his
country's interests above his own. bent before
the storm and gave up office. He lost neither
dignity nor honor in doinS so, but he did lose

What American does not remember the tri-
umphant progress of President Wilson from
Washington to Versailles to attend the peace
conference? What American does not find 1t
difficult to realize that it was only one short
year ago that Mr.. Wilson was hailed in his

of humanity the world over?
What of today? Secluded in the recesses OF
the White House. he is solitary figure, Just
a man recovering slowly from grevous illness,
walking about slowly, cane in hand while his
friends and enemies alike confer on some
means by which the wreck of his pet project,
the League of Nations, can be brought back to

this semblance of life real entity of at least
some force: his enemies hold fast to the decree
that only the shadow of his dream shall be left

Country Schools CLOSING

A few of the country schools
have closed and many will end the
term today while a few will have
several moro weeks of school to
complete the required number OF
days for a school year.
The pupil is required to be pres
ent at least 100 out of the lac
days Of school before he a take
the examination for passing. This
is a ruling Of the past year. and a
great many Of the pupils have not
understood this. 1t is necessary tc
give every pupil the same schooling
before the examinations could be
given and it is thought that there
will be very little difficulty next
year.
Many pupils have been taken out
OF school to help with the farm
work due to the shortage of help.
This has caused a grea: many of
them to be unable to attend the
required number Of days and they
will be unable to pass to the next
grade.
There are nearly 100 schools. in
the county, and the general report
OF the school work shows up favor
able. Ten Of the schools have Civ
en- the vitalized agriculture course
and it has met with instantaneous
success. Many of the schools have
been giving hot lunches at the noon
hour, prepared by the teacher and
the girls, and good results have been
the result of this step.
All of the schools have been
visited by the county nurse and the
children given the exami nation. A
follow up system will be used to see
what action is taken by the parents
of the pupils who have a physical
ailment.
