usually kicked them and kept
on kicking until they went

To ill-treat animals or hui
man beings to extort greater
service is shameful. We have
been told that the methods
used by those who train dogs
to do tricks for public exhibi-
ton include the use Of whips,
producing fear and pain until
the fine little animals have
learned their lesson.

may find a duty to be extended

vinced that this power is being mis- used by men whose personal motives are wrong.
 The time has come when men in public place in this republic must ask with respect to any public policy pro- posed, not merely, will it for the mo- ment be popular, but is it just, and therefore will it in the long run meet the approval of a just people? The demagogue, the time server, the trim mer, the popularity seeker, now be- come something more than evils; they are perils.
 The dominating thought of Republi- cansm now should be, in the face of it's great duty and opportunity, is not how can we win the elections of 1922 and 1924, but how can we save this country from the dangers which con- front it. That should be the thought not only of the men chosen to pub lie place, but of the rank and file of the people of this republic. The man or group or element which asks of congress or the new administration anything unjust to the people general ly while serving the selfish purpose of this particular group, is as traitor ous as the politician who yields to such demands.
 Americanism means the subordina- tion of the selfish demands of class, group, section, occupation or element to the general welfare. Let this year of 1921 be year of renewed and re- yitalized and reconsecrated Ameri- canism.

It evidently took the efforts of "Chechaco Bilr' to awaken the slum- bering, questionable talent among Am chorage poets and near poets. Our desk is literally covered with poems received by mail and in person from the inspired who have pathetically in- fringed upon poetic license. AS a matter of courtesy we often publish contributions of this nature and as often such efforts have merit. But this deluge of rhythm is ceasing to be a joke and we will ask the muses to turn to prose. The Times really craves news of local nature dealing with those happenings in everyday life which interest you. They will also interest the public.
