The Alaska daily empire., 1920-11-22

Der l, to October 31, unless other wise restricted ...t
 Suggests Cooperative Licensing
 At the time of sending his recom- mendation to Dr. Nelson, Gov Riggs also wrote to Col Mckenzie, Colo Commissioner of the Yukon Terri tory suggesting that cooperative agreements be entered into between Alaska and the Yukon providing for registration of guides conducting hunting parties across the Interna- tional boundary in order that a bet Ter check be obtained upon the game killed by such parties. Guides oper- ating in the Copper River and White River countries will also be required to have licenses such as are now re- quired on Kenai Peninsula. It is also proposed to raise the maximum guide rate per day from $10 to $15 and for packer from $5 to $6.
 Licensed guides operating under the proposed cooperative agreement between the two Territories will be required to observe the laws of the 'erritory in which they work and to make such reports as may be re puired by the two governments. These will include the names of the parties hunting, their license num- bers, the numbers of each kind of game killed, etc Gov. Riggs also pro noses that only one license be grant ed to any hunter, that is, any party holding a Yukon Territory license be refused an Alaska license and vice versa.
 The reason for this is apparent, hXrlained the Governor. The moose, caribou and sheep herds of the White River country. he said, are in reality international herds, crossing and re- crossing the border. Thus parties holding licenses from both Territor-
 es and hunting on both sides of the line when not killing more than their legal limit of game would get it ali from the same herds. The proposed "eciprocal agreement. he believes. would give needed protection to the game in that district.
 uhllofmlty Of bag limits allowed by each of the Territories if also
 suggested by Gov. Riggs to Commits sioner Mckenzie. Conflicts are point ed out in the limits on sheep and caribou. In the White River country m the Alaska side of the line the limit on sheep is three. while the Yukon regulations allow two sheep and six caribou. The Governor sug- ge5ts that he will be willing to rec ommend that the Alaska sheep limit be reduced to two in the White River district, making it conform with the Yukon limit, if in turn the Yukon authorities will reduce the caribou limit to three in the same district.

CHANGES ASKED IN REGULATIONS
 SAYS GOVERNOR
Suggests Later Opening of Season on Deer -Recipro-
 cal Agreements Wanted.

A change of the open season on ! deer in Southeastern Alaska so that it will open fifteen days later and close fifteen days later than is now the case is among several alterations in the present Alaska game regula- tions recommended by Gov. Thomas Riggs, according to an announce ment made by him this morning. The present open season on deer in Southeastern Alaska opens on August 15 and closes on November l.
 Taking up the subject of Alaska game regulations with Dr. E. w. Nelson, Chief of the Biological Sur vey Gov. Riggs suggerts that the open season on this animal be from September 1 to November 15. Tie purpose of the proposed change is two-fold, according tG the Governor. Under existing regulations, non-resi- den fishermen are the heaviest slaughterers of deer. Most of these people have left the Territory by September 1 for their homes in the states and would be unable to legally kill this game as they now do. On the other hand resident sportsmen hurting ducks after November l could also legally kill deer right up to the end of the open season on game brds as both would run con- currently.
 Other Changes Suggested
 A number of other changes have also been recommended by the Gov. ernor to Dr. Nelson. The change of the Interior open season on big game is one of the most important He has suggested that the open sea son in that section be made the same as that South of Latitude 62', open ing on August 20 and closing on December 31 The present regula tions open the season on August l and close it on December 10.
 Gov Riggs has received a number of letters from Inteuor people sus gesting such change. While i; | would not lengthen the period of the open season, it would give the hunt CTS duullIOldl lIliit OI4 lue elu Ol liit Season to get their game out of the hills. Game killed in the hills dur Ing the early part of August is often lost on account of hot weather ana fles. This would be eliminated by having the season open 20 days later according to information received by the Governor.
 Goats Given Protection
 The present open season on noun tain goats extends from April l, to February 1, or eleven months each year where there is no special re- strictions. The why and the where, fore of this regulation is a mystery to the authorities of the Territory, who have never been informed how the dates were arrived at. Gov. Riggs has recommended that the present regulations be changed to make the open season from Septem.

SPEAK UP

You have probably noticed that IN
every town most of the suggestions for
the towns improvement come from
about six or eight men. Most of their
suggestions are good but occasionally
they present a plan which isn't feast
BILE. However, these occasional fail
ures do not daunt them and fortunate
~ for their town they continue with
their suggestions. Now why it is that
we must depend on the same six OF
eight men for our good ideas? The
reason is that these men have become
accustomed to giving out their ideas
rather than boarding them. Probab-
~ citizens in this town have good
ideas for the improven1 ent of this com
munity but they never get outside OF
their own brain That is neither coop
GRAFTON nor good citizenship. Speak
upl Give the rest of US chance at
your idea.

In Russia the aristoerats plundered
the peasants until human nature could
stand no more Then the peasants a
rose in their might and tore the arts
tocrats asunder.
Russia is Bolshevistic hell as a result
of this misuse of power.
Washington should remove its
smoked glasses. take a look around,
and note conditions as they exist.
Some day the American worm may
turn. 1t may tire of the capitalistic
plundering and the welding of the
labor lash.
It may send people to Washington
who will represent the great masses,
and not these two small classes.
Then the fnancier with a billion in
his fist viii look no better than the
labor dictator with a lash in his hand.
And neither will look good at all.
Even in America the classes are not
immune from the wrath of the masses
when desperation points the way.

MAKING OVER A BOY

Many fathers are prone to want
their boys to grow up to be the man
they want rather than the man the
boy wants to be. So many Young
mems careers have been greatly re
tarded or lost entirely simply because
the fathers have insisted upon plan
ming that career themselves. Parents
make a grave mistake in laying cut
plans as to the method their boy shall
make his living until the boy is old
enough to indicate choice himself.
The boy is the one most affected by
his choice and why shouldn't it be as
he wants it? Of course, it's hard if
you planned him for doctor to have
him turn out civil engineer, but no
one can help it.
Early in life child's tendencies
should be watched. Children very
often at an early age show what their
choice of vocation is going to be. AS
soon. as this tendency become marked
it should be carefully fostered. Don't
think you can change the trend of
the child's nature because it will prove
vain hope. If he wants to be an
architect or an electrician better give
him a good start now than wait ten
or fifteen years and delay his pro-
gress.

NEW THOUGHT AND CHRISTIAN
HEALING
By X. NJ. Webster

Thousands of people are more than
ready to testify to the great good
received thru their works and words
There is at Kansas City, Mo. a
New Thought center of very far
reaching influence and fame Chas.
and Myrtle Fillmore with their son
the Unity Magazine and a Weekly
subscribers and which gave courage
and comfort to many. They have
there the Society of Silent Unity
which meets every day to pray, in
their way, for any who have asked
for help. They get many requests
daily from all over the country,
even from foreign countries, for pray
ers to help in an endless variety of
troubles and they get almost as many
letters testifying to help received.
The requests come by telephone, tele-
graph and mail
1t is there they organized the Good
Words Club which is proving a great
stimulus to self-control in the use
of words, on the bible principle that
THE tongue of the wise is health"
that death and life are in the power
of the tongue" and that she that
ofendeth not in words is a perfect
man and able also to bride the body"
The club already has many thou
sands of members scattered over the
world. There are centers of New
Thought work in Spokane, Wash. and
in Portland Oregon also in San
Francisco as we'll as in great num-
Der of places in the east.
There was organized few years
ago ''the international New Thought
Alliance" with James Edgerton, g
wise, genial man as president. The
headquarters are at Washington D.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1920-02-12

c. and there the secretaries of dis
tricts everywhere that a call comes
for such.
The literature of New Thought is
rapidly growing both in volume and
in Illuminating power
There seems no good reason why
any one should be ignorant of it or
to the writer as a Christian Move
ment in the best sense. No one can
hartily and thoroly investigate it
without coming in contact with many
of the truest, brightest and sweetest
spirits of our time, and they will
be sure to find increase of Faith
and Hope and the road to health and
success.
Our sixth paper will give some
idea of the work of Judge Troward
whom the writer regards as perhaps
the ablest exponent of the philoso-
ply of New Thought that has yet
appeared.

A CHRONIC WET-BLANKE EFT

Every town has two citizens which
it could very we'll be relieved of-the
Chronic Kicker and the Chronic Wet
Blanket. The Chronic Kicker has
been discussed quite fully II these
columns, but our other friend, the
Blanket, has only recently come
to our attention. He is pest and a
menace to our public welfare. No
plan is proposed, no suggestion made.
no campaign undertaken, but he picks
out all the flaws, and all the weak
points and without mixing them
with any Of the good points, which
in most cases counter balance the
weak ones, begins to throw cold water
on the plan He uses all his energy
for this particular activity, and when
energy is expended it will have re
suits. You can't get away from this
fact. He talks to lot of people, Civ
ing them his pessimistic views anc
they soon begin to grow skeptical
One of these wet-blanket citizens car
do more to hold back the progress OF
town than five progressive ones
1t is always easier TO persuade peo-
pie to leave things as they are than to
change them After this be sure it's
not one of these wet blankets who is
trying to tell you plan is no good
Investigate for yourself, and above all
don't be wet-blanket yourself.

WHY NOT A
CLEANUP CLUB

Spring will be with us again very
shortly now, and the question of COM
munity beauty and sanitation will
come to the fore
What's the matter with having a
Clean Up" club in this town?
Why can't we have an organization
of public spirited men and women
whose business it would be to encour-
age the cleaning up and identifying
of the town?
Such an organization would accom-
plish wonders in a short space of time.
We haven't a citizen who wouldn't
heartily cooperate in such d move
ment; and many, once it was under
way, would go to great lengths to out
do others and carry off the prize.
And a prize, we would suggest,
should be given not for the best place,
but for the one showing the greatest
Improvement.
Sanitation is necessary to health,
and we can't have sanitation without
cleanliness. And cleanliness can be
produced only through the systema-
tic cooperation of the entire commune
ity.
We believe such a movement would
prove popular in this town. Certain
ly it's benefits would be many and far
reaching
This paper wants only one office in
such a club-that of chief booster.

FIFTH PAPER

Among the leaders and teachers
in New Thought are a number who
were students with Mrs. Eddy, the
famous author of Science and Health.
These students came to feel that God
is as near and accessible to any of
us as to the most gifted and that we
stand or fall in proportion as we are
loyal to our own convictions OF
Truth and Duty.
Mrs. Annie Rix Militz who is we'll
known in many places was a student
of Mrs. Eddy. She has become very
influential in connection with the
establishing of Homes of Truth
which are found in many cities and
towns.
Large numbers of people have tes-
titled to the benefits received at
these homes, which are centers of
Christian Healing and Teaching.
Harriet Hale Rix, sister of Mrs.
Militz. is a teacher and healer of
wide influence. With these sisters
have been associated from time to
time, a goodly number of earnest
and capable workers, who have spread
New Thought with ever growing
ability.
Perhaps Horatio Dresser, Orison
SWEET Marden, Paul Ellsworth, Ed
win Markham, Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
C. D. Larsen are some of the best
known leaders and writers in the
New Thought World. The writer
owes a debt of grateful love to all
these as we'll as to others.
Elizabeth and William Towne who
edit and publish the Nautilus, are
also particularly able and useful New
Thought leaders and teachers.

Every town knows the confusion
which follows in the wake of a bad
epidemic. When city authorities close
the movie houses, schools, churches,
and other public places, all the people
who are not quarantined, along with
not a few who are, rush over to one
another's houses to give the situation
due consideration with as many germ
laden words as possible. The more
cases and symptoms dragged to light
the more panic striker they become.
The fear, so aroused, which proceeds
such an epidemic, is worse than the
disease itself, as was found in the case
of the flu. People actuated by this
dread are as terror striker as the
man who runs wildly thru the wind
tanning the blaze in his burning cloth
ing. There are only two things to do
in either case; stand still and fight
or run, which means certain ruin. But
in the case of a virulent epidemic
countless lives of others are involved
by such cowardice. If each persar
would only go ABOUT his business in q
normal fashion, exercising all due
precautions under such circumstan
ces, he would render himself and his
community a priceless service.

WHEN THE
WORM TURNS

The big corporations, the fnaneiers
and the new breed of war millionaires
are entrenched behind their dollars
and their greed and can see nothing
but their own pleasure and their own
will. Their towering ambition is
greater wealth and power.
The labor unions, long suffering
from capitalistic rapacity, have as
sumed gigantic proportions where by
the nod of one man they are able to
paralyze the industry Of the country
throw hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie out of employment, and bring
others to sickness, starvation and the
grave Their power has gone to their
heads.
The two classes combined represent
only a small proportion of the popula-
ton of the countrp, yet they practi-
cally dominate everything to the ex-
clusion of all other classes.
The farmers. the doctors, lawyers,
merchants, editors, preachers, and
millions of others are at their mercy
and gasping under the capitalistic and
labor heels-because they are not or
gained. They represent the great
| majority of the population, and yet
they are dominated by the small min
GRITTY.
But the worm will endure just SO
| much torment, and then it will turn.
And this is equally true of the worms
| of the human family.
