LAND AND UNEMPLOYMENT

out Of the soil comes all wealth.
Everybody knows this is the fact. But
land does not now any more than in
the beginning yield spontaneous
treasure. It takes work to win the
basic wealth of the earth. The
earth-mother is the all-in-all. The
worlds millions are dependent not up-
on the mills and factories, the bourses
the soaring towers of city trafic, not
upon the mines. but upon the ade-
duate working of the farm by gener-
Gus proportion of the race 1t always
must be so. There is no other way.
The older nations long ago learned
the value of intensive cultivation.
Little of European land lies waste or
uncultivated But America has not
vet learned the necessity for this
essential cultivation.
Were every acre of available land
under intensive cultivation we should
hear little of unemployment, little
of strikes. and little of social discon-
tent.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

of thanksgiving. devotion and prayer
The federal government does not
establish national holidays, but
Thanksgiving is observed in every
state and it is a legal holiday in pract-
ically all.
President Harding devouty recalls
how many blessings this country has
to be greatful for Foremost is the
return of peace and the approach to
normal ways again. He says that 1.-The
year has brought us back into rela-
tions of amity with all nations. after a
long period of struggle and turbu-
Ience." and he asks divine guidance
and approval in what the nation does.
I'VE shall be prospered as we deserve
'pro1p ,risy, seel.ingf not alone for
material things but those of the spirit
as we'll" He points out that while
we did our part in 'the great trial OF
humanity" the war left us "compar-
atively little SCARED" We have been
favored as a nation, 'as a part of
pan "hooe "lSuVlh We NahhN' 49,
ton" He continues Thus believ-
ing. we can do no less than hold our
nation the willing instrument OF the
Providence which has so wonderfully
favored us. Opportunity for great
service awaits us if we shall prove
equal to it, Let our prayers be raised
for direction in the right paths. I'm
der God. our responsibility is great;
to our own first; to all men after
ward; to all mankind in Gods own
ju tice."

DR. HORNADAY-HELP!

A recent issue of the New York Times illustrated supplement features a giant bison lying dead in the snow of Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake oi Utah Beside this beautiful specimen of vanishing species stands intrepid sportsman armed with a 3o-3O pop gun from which he was forced to fire six shots before bringing low this superb animal It is reported that 235 bison Antelope Island were killed in this modern hunt. To the slaughter, Hooked hunt CTS from all over the United States, exclusive of Alaska and the privilege of helping in the exterm ination the former monarchs of the plains, they paid $200 for each animal by them killed. Could anything be wanton and unnecessary
 Firmly established in New York is the Aperican Bison Society In the list of officers found the following names: Honorable Vice President, Prof Henry Fairfield Osborn of New York; President, Ed mund Seymour of New York; Vice Presidents, pr William T. Hornaday, Carl K. McFadden, both Of New York; Counsel L. D. Baldwin of New York Secretary, M. S. Garretson of Clifton, N J. Treasurer Clark Williams of New York. Many of these gentle mionares The Society has issued many self laudatory bulletins and yet when opportunity presented itself to do real work of conservation they faileqd The Empire wonders how many mem bers of the Bison Society took part in the final roundup, or how many men participating in the were members of other conservation societies who have insisted that Alaskan have right in formulating their own game laws. These buffalo could have been saved At the of $2OO per head the Society could have bought the entire herd and removed them to. one of the. National Parks. But no, that would have money and stopped sport. and it has been observation that the so-called societies of conservation very careful when their own money is concerned or their sport inter- fered with.
 Had this outrage been attempted in Alaska, there would probably have been gathering of hunters from all the Territory, armed with guns that really shoot but these guns would have pointed outward from the tame and peacefully grazing herd

the boom period all influences upon labor contrary to it's best interests.
 Radicalism, encouraged by labor scarcity, invaded and appreciated the quality of labor as component in our national economic life High wages begot extravangance that soon reacted in rising prices, reducing the buying power of those very wages so that labors gain was more apparent than real There also developed a demoralization of individual efficiency because men were not kept on their mettle by competition for work and advancement.
 With the return of more rigorous condi- tions it is becoming clear that the best in- teersts of conscientious labor are served by a more normally balanced relation between labor supply and demand. Competition for work means the stimulation of efficiency and staunch Anglo-Saxon individualism as opposed to radcalism. An abundance of labor permits employers to choose workmen intelligently and to coordinate wages to their proper part in production costs, facili- tating the establishment of price levels best for all.
 But employers must play fair and not attempt to lower wages unduly or to enforce greater curtailment than circumstances war rant. They must recognize that, in any country worth living in, the standard of living tends ever upward. Wage earners in the United States entitled to the Op- portunity to receive more than merely the means for bare and jOyess existence in re- turn for real work well done Any other at titude on the part of employers would be a menace not only to the orderly readjust- ment of existing conditions, but also to sound business progress in the long run
 1 believe we are justified in confidence that these elements of progressive readjust- ments which are working toward better times are now greatly in the majority. The true need of business is, not stimulation of the forced draught order, but rather a conserya- tive response to better conditions as they deevlop. Such conservative, yet confidently progressive course, is the only basis for busi- ness success this year, as distinguished from the feyerish way in which business was con ducted during the and postwar period

Chicago Platform.
WaShingtOn Star


 These questions are 2sked: Will the Sixty-seventh Congress steer by the Chicago platform? If so how will it be possible for Democrats who helped elect Harding and Coolidge longer to cooperate with the Republicans?
 What else is there to steer by? In one sense last November's victory not partisan one Great numbers of Democrats voted for the Republican ticket
 But the victory achieved under Republican leadership and on declaration Republican prin- clples. Hence the Republicans will organize the next Congress, and being committed their princ pes must try to live to them in their legislation Any other course would be dishonest and disastrous The whole country would stand for skulldugeery at tempted under any sort of casustry. The victors Eust give the country square deal
 The Democrats who voted for the Chicago ticket knew the terms of the Chicago platform and that success at the polls would obligae the winners to steer by the party chart. Can be assumed that they had other object in view than to assist in turning out the Administration? they at liberty now, after helping to put the Republicans in power to try to prevent them from using that power accord ing to the promises they have made?
 The Chicago platform is entitled to a trial and the Tanker and more thorough the efforts of the next Congress to redeem the campaign promises of it's majority members the better for it and the country

A GOOD INVESTMENT.

One of the best investments any Alaskan could make just would be in telegram to Senator Warren, Senator Chamberlain Senator Wadsworth urging the Senate to amend the Army Bill by incIud- ing the full amount for Alaska roads asked for by the War Department. The House cut the appropria- ticn from the $955,000 asked to s350,OO0. If the full amount is not granted the cooperative program which templates the expenditure of about $2 ,000 GOO year on Alaska roads will fail and Alaska needs roads now than she needs any other enc thing.
