CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

Why is that the starving and poor at our door are so unattractive and paid so little attention to, while the poor of other nations are so worthy of our time and money? A drive is now on in Alaska to raise funds for the Near East This is probably a worthy pro- ject. For the past fifty years, kindly, but mistaken Americans have been pouring money into Armenia and other near Eastern projects, the greater part of which is used to maintain commis- sions and other distributors of the funds so lavishly given.
 All over the United States in gen eral and in Alaska in particular there are thousands of persons whose lot is worse off than that of the Armenian or other convert in far-off lands. In today lying in their Igloos wasting away from hunger ad suffering from cold. Climatic conditions here add to the plight of the sufferers. The run of fish is poor and for some reason the game failed to appear in many locali- ties, until quite late in the season. Nearly every mail brings reports of the annual period of starvation. From all sides is a call for clothing and medical aid.
 If the American native had sense enough to embrace Mohammedanism of Buddhaism or some other religion, millions of dollars would be rushed into Alaska to save his poor, benight- ed soul, but he is unfortunate in being already chTistianiZed. His body may go hang.

away from the very fundamentals of national interest and self interest.
 One may not blame the alien agen- cies fo- trying to win supporters in this country. But Americans are not excused when they think less Of the deep concern for American interests than they do of outsiders.
 Internationalists are really not in ternationalists. They are looking out for their own nations and trying to in duce Americans to think of America as a secondary thing to consider.
 What this country needs today is q settled conviction that in all things America be first. For there is that in the life of this nation, in its ambitions and in it's dealings with others. that is broad and liberal. and fair We, as a nation, can do more for others through development of American ideals.

FLOOD OF PROPAGANDA

There is such a flood of propaganda in the press today and such an army of writers working under the pay of governments and institutions that want to create favorable sentiment, that it is most difficult, even for an astute reader to determine what is genuine and what is deliberately in- spired
 There can be no doubt that much of the matter that is being sent to the American people through newspapers and magazines, signed by well known writers, and advocating opposition to such legislation as the tariff, the mer- chant marine subsidy, free canal tolls for coastwise American ships, the sol dier bonus, and others, is matter paid for out of special funds of alien gov ernment treasuries or out of the mon- eys of large business organizations that are competitors of American bus inesses. Likewise is there a large amount of space being used to inf1u- ence sentiment on foreign economic questions, such as debt cancellation, further loans and repa-ations.
 Much of this matter is prepared by very able men and is intended to win support, and it does. It leads people

SOMETHING RELIGION

Red Russia has gone on record against religion and declares it is delusion and a snare-something to tnisguide folk of simple nature and broad faith.
 Despite the handwriting on the wall the Red government is attempting to make a nation of materialists. Like a famous man who knows everything, most of which is not true, their ideal ism is negative thing, steeped in a kind of callousness that squeezes from life all that is fine.
 That religion is losing ground in >the world is not because there is no such thing as religion or that it is not to be the salvation of mankind, but because all but a very few of the fol- lowers of the Son of God have lost sight of the Golden Rule, and are intolerant and impatient with ideas or ideals not their own.
 Christianity was never so important to the world as it is today. Its help is needed in strengthening out the tan gled affairs of Europe and the dollar worshippers of this country. More actual misery exists in the world to- day than ever before because mankind has lost sight of all the better requi- sites of life to engage in the scram- ble for spells.
 Capitalism, detested by the Red iconoclasts, has it's faults, but the people who survive because of 1t would net substitute their ideals. their faith, their hopes, their belief in fair ies nor the spiritual values which they hold head, for the shams which the Soviets offer in place. For what is civilization but a dead and hopeless thing without religious ideals?

ASYLUM WALLS BAR AGED VETERAN, WHO SLEW HIS
 FRIEND, FROM FORTUNE

CANTON, N. Y, Feb. 5.-Although liberty spells the possession of a small fortune, William c. Seymour, now IT., veteran of the Spanish-American War, must spend the remainder of his life in an asylum for the criminally in sane, the penalty for the murder of a friend who jostled him in the street.
 Judge John c. Grapser here has de- nied the latest motion for the release of the aged man, who has spent seven years in Matteawan.
 A trust fund and a small pension have grown to a small fortune.
 As an insane convict Seymour can- not touch a cent of the money, which would keep him in comparative af- fluence. Efforts to have Seymour re- leased in care of a commission were fruitless. His long term at the asylum has made Matteawan his legal resi- dence, and any petition would have to be made from there. Judge Grapser denied the last petition because, he said, Seymour had no legal residence in Ogdensburg.

GOLD BEARING GRAVEL. UNDER BLACKSMITH SHOP
 IS NOW TO BE MINED

BONNEVILLE, Cal, Feb. 5. - A small segment of ground beneath an old blacksmith shop here is soon to yield up it's treasure of collaborating gravel, which, according to local tra- dition, was overlooked when the flats and ravines of the townsite were stripped of gold in 1850. Whether the building saved the ground from being mined, or the water proved too great a difficulty, is not know. The plans call for extracting the gravel through a 25-foot shaft. The only other ground unmined is the site of certain county buildings, the value beneath which has been estimated as high as $1,000,0OO.

HOST IS SUED FOR ACCIDENT
 AUTO GUESTS

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The recent de- cision of an English Court allowing $14,O00 damages to occupants of an automobile against the owner thereof as result of motor accident which occurred while they were the guests of the owner, has aroused much in- terest throughout the country.
 The plaintiffs were invited by a sis ter of the owner of the machine to ac- company her on a ride, during which the accident happened. Every per guests sued the owner for damages.
 The case has given rise to consid- erable discussion because of the is- sues involved. A ccording to a prom inent London attorney, as a result of the verdict, there is no reason why guest at a dinner, at weekend party, or in fact of any status, cannot sue his host for any accident or loss of apparel he might undergo. This would make the host responsible for any losses his guest might sustain from fire, theft or carelessness. Under the liabilities of the host would also be sickness which might result from food served, or of disease contracted during the visit.
 The insurance companies are mak- ing strong protest against the verdict, as it seriously affects their business.
 The usual accident policies issued to householders in England provide only for the loss of clothes belonging to guests through fire or theft, and do not provide for cases of sickness or accident to the guests.

MAKE GOOD CATCH OF
 FUR-BEARING ANIMALS

TACOMA, Feb. 5.-The catch of fur-bearing animals in the wilds of western Washington is reported to be large this season despite several weeks of very cold weather during which the animals kept too closely at home to be trapped.
 The largest catch thus far report ed was made by Inger and Theander Olson, brothers of Hoquiam, Wash, who trapped for two months in the Olympic Mountains at an altitude of 5000 feet. They caught 32 martens, two fishers and four cougars, and they estimate their catch to be worth $2,400 at present market prices.

CALIFORNIA; COPPER -)
 PRODUCTION INCREASES

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ,. - Cali fornia's output of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc during 1922 was valued at $21 625,6 ,600 an increase of $573,177 over 1921, according to the United States Geological Survey estimates.
 Gold prdouction was $14,S45,000 a decrease of $S59,S22, due the survey says, to the disastrous fire in the Ar gonaut mine at Jackson, which also shut off production in the adjoining Kennedy mine, through which work was conducted in trying to rescue the 47 miners entombed in the ArgOnaut mine.
 The governments report states that complaint has been made of the scar city of first class miners, who seem to have gone into more profitable and less hazardous occupation than under ground mining.
 Copper production in 1922 was val ued at $3,036,500, an increase of $1,521,- 601. This, says the report, was re- markable in view of the law price of the metal and the fact that the Nam moth, Mountain, Copper, Penn and Calaveras mines, formerly the largest producers of the red metal, remained closed.

NATIVE INDIAN TRIBES OF WASHINGTON ADOPT
 THE SHAKER RELIGION

HOQUIAM, Wash, Feb. 5. - The Shaker religion, one of the strangest in the land, is now embraced by prac- tically all the native Indian tribes of Washington and some of Oregon and British Columbia. The Shakers are a cult of the Christian religion. It is so called from the violent shaking of it's adherentS.
 The Shaker religion of the Indians is said to be entirely native growth and in no way associated with other Shaker cults. John Slocum, formerly a wealthy Indian of Mud Bay, on Puget Sound, is credited with estab- fishing the new form.
 In 1881, so the story goes, Slocum contracted a violent illness. The ablest medicine men" were called in, but despite their effort he grew worse and apparently died. But then, it is that he had died but had been sent back to earth in order to make his soul more fit for spiritual life. He said he had been commanded to build a church and that a religion would then be presented to him.
 A small church building was con- structed and John Slocum was moved into it to receive his religion. While still very feeble, he got out of bed, went through certain formality and began to shake. He shook violently for several days, and then his strength returned

SCOTCH MARRIAGES SUCCESS,
 FIGURES FOR 1922 SHOW

LONDON, Feb. 5. - Matrimony is a success in Scotland if divorce sta tistics are to be believed.
 Official reports show that during 1922 there were only 401 divorce cases disposed of in Scotland. This compares with 52S in 1921 and S1O in 1920
 The statistics reveal that wives seek divorces more frequently than husbands, wives being the complain ants in 203 cases and the husbands in 19S Misconduct was the ground of action in 262 cases and desertion in 139.
