The AnglO-SaxOn Plan.

 Nothing but death and taxes is inevitable No political system has any absolute guaranty perma- nence Every political student in the world today admits that democracy is only experiment. Does that sound strange the sef-sufficent free born American? Just the same, it is fact.
 distinguished pubcis in address at Provi- Gence R. l., the other day repeated certain essen- tia historical truths that Englishmen and Americans should have in mind. These truths disclose that the foundations of this nation and the spirit which ami mates it's institutions not Spanish German Italian or Irish The foundation of this nation the spirit which fills it's institutions AngloSaxon He as- serted the ndisputable fact that it is the Anglo Saxon, and only the Anglo-Saxon who has discovered the secret of developing society that is free yet surrenders itself the necessary restraints which make for accord and effect unity.
 Wherefore all alien elements which seek to dis rupt the friendly association and between the British Empire and the United States must be reckoned as false propagandiss, enemies to American civilization, for the future of all civilization pendent on the unity of the English speaking peoples as all save those who blinded by racial radi- tlonal prejudices and enmies must admit
 As Minerva sprang from the head of love, Free dom sprang fustatured from the Ango-Saxon heart The Anglo-SaXon gave Freedom to America All others have been made welcome to to these shores and share the blessings she bestows She shall not be debaed embarrassed in her wider develop ment here. In liberty and unity lies the veal of democracy. This combination must distinguish Eng land and America from all other nations. In this combination the inspirations which carry men onward lad their origin in the early Anglo Saxon development Loyalty 10 this ideal Is civilizations only present or future hope All propaganda which would seek to testroy this essential supreme relation should be jcotched and trampled out of existence.

WASHINGTON AND BOLIVAR.

It has been said in behalf of Simon Bolivar tha+ he did than Washington because he lberat five countries while Washington liberated but But that is not quite to history Washington liberated thirteen colonies but his genius aided greatly in making them If Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia had been organized into cduntry and imbued with the tenacity that char acterzed the thirteen colonies whose freedom was sealed when Cornwallis surrendered to Washington at Yorktown the subsequent history of South America would have given greater glory to Bolivar than the imperishable renown with which he has been sc justly crowned
 Simon Bolivar who the comma nder4 in-chief of South American revolutionary forces, freed Venezuela New Granada, and Peru from Spanish rule and was later given the Presidency of the three republics lombia, formed from Venezuela and New Granada Peru, and Bolivia, Upper Peru, is said to have gotten his first idea of republican government while staying in this country his way home to Vene- zuela from Madrid, where he lived and studied for several years He here in 1809 when he waf twenty-six years old
 Because of opposition to him on the ground that he showed too much ambition, he resigned the Presi dency of Colombia, but reconsdered when asked to do so by resolution of the Congress. Later there was the beginning of counter-revolution agains; hlm in Peru, but it did not develop, and he held tn position Of President in two of the States, and ot Protector in Bolivia until his death, which occurred In San Pedro Colombia in 1880, when he was forty years old

BRITISH COLUMBIA FOLLOWS ALASKA.

The fish hatcheries branch of thc British Columbi Government has followed the United States Bureau Fisheries in adopting the Alaska Territorial Fs Natures plan in propagating salmoi The Alaska plan is to fertilize the eggs and deveo hem to the eyeing stage at stations and then plan hem in the gravel of the streams. The Britis Columbia procedure, outlined in the Pacific Fishe man, is modification of the Alaska plan Tn Fisherman says:
 c. w. Harrison, acting Inspector ot Hatcheries for British Columbia, has per fected an appliance combining features of artificial and natural fish propagation for rehabilitating the sockeye streams of north British Columbia. It will be utilized by the Dominion Fisheries Department.
 In consists of a box constructed of wood and about four feet in length. in which gravel and eyed eggs placed in alternate layers. The box is deposited in the bed of shallow stream in a hole previously dug to receive it. By mechncal device the upper portion of the box is lifted and the gravel and eggs remain It is practically identical with the process by which salmon the gravel for secreting their eggs after propa- gation, with the important advantage that eggs in this instance all fertzed and not dependent upon the hit and miss methods of nature.
 For two months the patrol steamer Civ enchy has been distributing these boxes between the north end of Vancouver Island and Prince Rupert. The waters selected for testing the experiment were streams flowing into Mclaughlin Lake, Tinkey Lake, Holmes Lake Cat Captain Cove), Wolf Lake and Tuno Lake. More than 100 of the boxes used and 620,000 eggs distributed The streams visited again about a month later and an examination made of the eggs planted in the river beds. Not egg spoiled and the lot were found to be in very healthy and thriving condition

MIR. GOMPERS' STATEMENT.

 Referring to Mir, Garys statement at a
 meeting of the corporation Monday that req
 sonable control through Government agencies
 would prove solution labor union prob
 lems, MT Gompers charged the steel head

 on the reports of his detective agencies
 Pleading for trade union organizations as
 necessary to establish any degree of "mu-
 tuality of contract between employers and
 workers, MT Gompers declared .the same
 freedom ot collective agreement and of free
 representation must be given the workers as
 is accorded corporations Collective bar
 gaining is the only way laborer can pro-
 tect himself, he added.
 Stating that industry would not tolerate
 an aFitocracy, he declared that just as poit-
 ical"sand military autocrats had met their
 doom and downfall in the an
 industrial autocrat meet like fate Amer
 lea will not stand for dictatorship of any
 9rt, either of the wealthy the proIetariat
 Le. us concede that Mir Gompers fairly stated the proposition. He did.

6 COUNTIES AGAIN
 ARE QUARANT|NED
Local Authorities Failed to Continue Tick Eradication Work and De- pertinent of Agriculture
 Took Action.

Washington, D. C., April 15.-Be- cause local county authorities failed to complete eradication work after the quarantine for cattle fever tick, six counties in Arkansas and prats of five others have been re-quarantined, the Department of Agriculture announced today The counties re-quarantined are Chicot, Desha, Drew, Lincoln, Yell and Logan. At the same time it was announced that campaign had been launched in Oklahoma for tick free state before the end of the year
 Tt has been the policy" the depart ment announced, Ito release from quarantine counties or areas in which the tick had practically been eradicated. When all territory in the county was tick free, except perhaps few herds which had not complied with state dipping requirements, it was not deemed advisable to hold the quaran- tine on the entire county, or area, and it would be released with the under standing that local authorities would continue the eradication work on the farms or areas which still remained in local quarantine. This plan has been successful in the majority of cases, and seldom has it been neces- sary to re-quarantine.
 Of several hundred counties that have been released, only a few have failed to live up to the agreement and have had to be re-quarantined"

Si0,00O IN CASH MISSING
 FROM ARKANSAS POSTOFFICE
Package Made Up of s and $40 Bills Gone at Hot Springs-Bank
 Is Protected.

Hot Springs, Ark, April 13. A package containing S10,000, made up of bills of from $5 to $20 denomina- tion, which was sent by President John F. Foote, of the Security bank, this city, to the federal reserve bank, Little Rock, has been missing from the local postoffice since Wednesday, and, according to what little informa- ton could be obtained today, federal officials who have been put on the case have not been able to make much headway in solving the mystery as to what became of the money.
 The bank official obtained receipt for the package for the full sum of money, which guarantees the bank against loss. The window at which the money was deposited is accessible it is said, to other employees than the one who received at, and there is said to have been no record of the package having gone out of the post office. When the local bank did not get word from the federal reserve bank in Little Rock of the receipt of the money, President Foote made in- quiry, and was informed that it had not been received by the government institution and the investigation was stated

V LESS FIRE LOSS IN STATE.
Arkansas Drops From 12O to 40.6s il
 Five Years.

Little Rock, April i4.--The persist ent campaign that has been made during recent years against the fire hazard appears to be bearing fruit. It has just been announced by the Com missioner of Insurance. Bruce I. Bull lion, that the loss ratio for the year year 1920 was 40.6S, and for the five period from 1916 to 1920, it was 45.41. For 1919 the loss ratio was 47.S6. These figures are exceedingly small, when compared with the ratios re- ported several years ago, when de- struction by fires seemed to be at its height. For instance, in 1913 the loss ratio was 125.S, and in 1915 it was 120, which means that for every $1 received by the company in premium in the year 1915, $102 was paid back to the insured, and in 1913 $1.25 was returned.
 The premiums in 1920 received by fire insurance companies operating in the state amounted to $7,997. .057, and for the five year period the total was $27 7,402,617. The losses for the year 1920 were $3,253, ,897, and for the five year period $12,444,361.
 Mir. Bullion ascribes this favorable showing to the campaigns of fire pre- vention that have been carried on dur ing recent years and to the education of the people against the fire hazards.
