Dead Natives Borne Through

William Philip Simms, famous
war correspondent and writer on
international affairs. is studying

Of his observation on a trip up

tze-Kiang, china-Some reflections
after a walk around Wuhu:
One thing I have learned In this:
You must not expect too much Of a
Chinese city in its infancy; youth is
always careless about dirt and Wuhu
is scarcely two thousand years old.
Hope that dead man I met in the
road slung on a bamboo pole be-
tween two grunting Chinese didn't
die of pest or smallpox. Caught in a
dark, smelly street about four feet
wide, 1 couldn't give him as much
room as I should have liked.
Nearby 1 saw a woman washing
salad in a puddle OF water. filthy
and ordoriferous beyond telling. My
thought was maybe the dead man
was eating just such a salad as that
yesterday.
Wonder why China isn't swept by
a plague which would not stop until
the last man. woman and child had
been carried or.
On a green field near some Stand
ard OIL tanks. 1 saw native boys
playing football. They were doing
it well despite red -and-white calico
uniforms.
Mr.. II. B. Burwell OF the Metho-
dist Mission at Shungking was
watching them.
IF they can learn football" he
unused. they can learn sanitation.
They only need somebody TO teach
them sanitation as someone has
taught them football"
Billions of dollars worth OF con-
cessions have been wrung from

done nothing for her as yet, in re-

WELCOME THE MEXICAN CONSUL.

The coming to Juneau of Rodofo Ramirez as consul of the Republic of Mexico is significant It causes us to recall that there great number of Mexicans in Alaska, and that the Southern Republic is reaching for closer connections with Ameri- can communities The very fact that the man who is being sent here is with wide experience in the diplomatic service of his country adds to the significance of this coming.
 Juneau should welcome this movement on the part of Mexico-particularly it comes during the ad- mnistration of President Obregon, of the out standing statesmen and men of affairs of North Am erica There is every evidence that Mexico shortly will advance to position among the Nations higher than ever before she held. People everywhere, as we'll in his home country, have the highest regard for the new Mexican President and almost unlim ed confidence in ability achieve wonders for his countrymen and North American conditions.

TRAP ROBBERS REPORTED BUSY AGAIN

The reports that fish traps being robbed again this year is a matter that should receive the se- rious attention of the authorities. Men who rob fish traps, like train and stage robbers, usually pre- pared to take life if that should prove necessary accomplish their purpose to effect escape should they be detected. Therefore not only arr property rights involved in this traffic but human life is jeopardized.
 There is exactly the why the waters of Alaska should be freed of fish trap robbers there for riddng the plains of stage robbers cattle thieves. People who invest their money in industry in Alaska and pay taxes to the Territory and the Federal Government entitled protection for themselves and their employees if it is possible to accord the protection.
 It ought not to be difficult to trace to the guilty the perpetrators of fish piracy this year. be of the few people who engaged in salmon

The Other America.
(The Churchman.)


 In spite of MT Harvey's pompous display, at the Pilgrims dinner, of those 7000000 votes against the League; notwithstanding his disavowal that America impelled by idealistic motives in entering the war, the people of England who read their Times and their Guardians the morning afte4 the hosts of our American Ambassador sang (we suspect with not too jubant hearts) Hes jolly good fellow, knew that George Harvey did not speak the mind of that Am erica whose conscience will dominate Americas for eIgn policy. There is not bishop minister in the land who would dare make the definition of Am ercan statecraft which latest Ambassador to the Courof St. James made fortnight ago.
