LEANING ON THE GOVERNMENT

Not far from Cordova and within walking distance of a certain large salmon cannery there is an Indian village where something like hundred and twenty-five natives live all the year round In the Summer the men of the village are employed by the cannery. In the Winter they live off their Summer earnings Between the cannery and the viii lage narrow foot path has for years been the only route of travel It is a difficult path, in places even perilous, since it winds around steep bluff where slip of the foot would mean disaster. The need of a better road is obvious and has for years been a source of complaint. This year, however, the natives have been given to understand that the Government is about to build them road at cost of several thousand dollars this, they are assured through representations made at Washington by certain educated Indian who is believed to have ''influence, ' and for whose efforts in their behalf the h. dians are accustomed to contribute from their savings This particular village this year sent the sum of $600
 Now, in that village there are at least forty abe-hodied men, thoroughly capable of build ing their own road. Through the years they have plodded back and forth over that diff cult path these men could easily have put Tn a number of months each season widening leveling and bedding decent road for their own use Under normal conditions they would probably have done so long ago. But Indians are Awards of the Government" as they have been taught, and they have been advised that the Government should build that road. And so, year after year, rather than get to work in their own interest, spending their money on necessary materials and tools for it, they turn their savings over to pay the expenses of their Indian representative on his ''influential' .iaunts to Washington
 The instance in point is no more typical of the Indians than it is of many white residents of the Territory. It is only another graphic illustration of the evils of Governmental pa ternalism. It is a system costly to the pocket books of the taxpayers. Leaning on the Gov ernment is demoraizing habit, ruinous to the resourcefulness, independence and self respect of people, It is exemplified in hun dreds of instances in Alaska, where admins tration from Washington has had the effect of Daralyzing initiative and encouraging sloth- fitness indifference in the belief that "the Government will do it." A people deprived of responsibility and made the wards of a system is people demoralized and decadent.

1.-THE BALANCE OF TRADE"

In keeping stocks down to a size that per- mits quick turnover, it is of course important to avoid the error of being under stocked on active lines.
 The policy of quick turnover calls for extra vigilance to see that the customer is not dis appointed in any reasonable expectation
 In the last year or so of readjustment some stores have earned criticism by letting them- selves run out of standard qualities and sizes.
 Careful buying means care in keeping stocks complete as well as care in not over-stocking.
 With advertising to stimulate turnover, and careful buying to keep invested capital con- stantly at work, any merchant is prepared to meet whatever trade conditions may come.

WEARISOME LAME DUCK' BUNKUM
Gateway

One of the favorite excuses for eruptiOns 'of piffle in newspaper offices at present is the political ''Iame duck'-that is the man who had been defeated for election to office. Tt Is assumed that defeat for office is dis graceful to the man who is beaten, whereas it may be, and often is, discreditable to his constituency instead Great stress is laid upon the peril of legislation by members of Congress subsequently, to their defeat for re election. It is probably true that a man who las been beaten for reelection will come nearer to voting his honest convictions after he i, defeated than while he is making bid for immediate popularity Who can tell whether, in given vote, a member of Con- gress represents a majority of his constitu- ents, either before or after his defeat? Flee tions are not usually carried on single issues. Most of the matter printed and spoken on this subject is palpably ''bunk.''
 Most men in politics have been at one time or another "lame ducks'' Lincoln was de- feated in his first race for the Legislature; he was beaten for the Senate twice. But for the battle of Gettysburg and the surrender of Vicksburg Lincoln would have been de- feated for reelection in 1864, and he wrote a memorandum in anticipation of defeat during the national campaign of that year, setting forth that it would be up to him to save the Union between the time of his defeat and the inauguration of his successor, because his opponent was running on a platform that would not permit him to suppress the rebel lion. According to some present-day poll: ticians it would have been up to Lincoln in that event, however, to let the Union go to the devil in its own way because of his Gre pudiation' by the people! Grover Cleveland was a lame duck when he was renominated and reelected to the Presidency in 1892 for he had been beaten by Harrison in 1888; Har- rison had been defeated in Indiana prior to his election as President, both for the govern ship and the Senate.
 William Jennings Bryan is one of our prin- cipal present-day lambasters of lame ducks; yet Colonel Bryan himself has been sort of perennial lame duck. He had been defeated for Congress once and for the Presidency three times when President Wilson made him Secretary of State Maybe Colonel Bryan is good argument in support of his own theory of the general undesirability of the lame duck; yet there are reasons to believe that if the Presidential nomination should get after him in 1924 it would not have to run itself to death in the effort to catch up with him.
 There is no personal disgrace in political defeat. Sometimes defeat is more an honor

WORKING FOR JUNEAU

Representative Jonhson of Fairbanks intro duced bill in the House yesterday carrying two amendments to the election laws. The first amendment would extend the time be- tween the date of filing and the election from sixty days to ninety days, deserved propo- sition, as heretofore there has not been time after nominations closed to deliver election supplies to far westward precincts. ~
 The second amendment however, is both 1ln- necessary and designed to injure the home

GOVERNMENT AS A MEANS OF
 EXPLOITATION |,

Bernard Holland says: "lThe modern So- cialist desires that all power should be con centrated in a central machine which he can hope to master and eXplolt'
 This is true not only of the modern Socialist but of politicians in general who habitually |advocate schemes involving the further ex- tension of governmental activities. These apostles of paternalism pretend that this ex- the peoples; some of them may be foolish that lust for power which is the cause of most of the worlds troubles.
 The desire to dominate their fellows is an instinct which men share with the lower animals Wealth is sought by many ambitious men a symbol and instrument of power, and in proportion to the holders desire to dominate his fellows it becomes dangerous As some men seek wealth as a means of eX- ercisng power other men seek political place. and having gained political power, they at tempt to make of government machine which will exercise more and more control over the Hives of others. Scratch the Socialist and the near Socialist politician, the advocates of greater and greater power for the government, land VOL will find autocrats, many of whom in weigh against wealth because it is the symbol of power in the hands of other men, which, in their own desire to dominate, Socialists and hear Socialists would destroy.
 The man in politics and public affairs from President on down whose deep down motive lis the brutish desire to dominate and con- trol other men, is a menace to the people, Such men desire to make of the Government la combined Simon Legree and Meddlesome Hattie which people would fear and hate in proportion to the growth of it's power Such men erect as special interest thing called government which ceases to serve and seeks to master, control and regulate the people in fields where the freedom-loving demand liberty. They work for the upbuilding of a bureaucracy which strives for its own eX- pansion and advantage as against the interests of tlle people, and set itself up as a special interest or bloc which aims to exploit and oppress the public. Through the efforts of the Socialist and semi-Sociast demagogues we are creating in this country professional office-holding class constantly reaching out for more power and profit for itself
 The American idea is that government exists for the service of the people. The European idea, to which our radicals are trying to com init the American people, was that people ex- isted for the convenience and profits of gov ernments The American people are restivc under the burdens these apostles of the oX- aggerated state are heaping upon their backs. Some day a clear-cut issue will be drawn be- tween the people and the governmental burden makers. It is to be hoped that this will come before the growth of bureaucracy and exploit ing blocs in politics has made the restoration of popular government difficult

near the beginning of the cooking, so that the oven may have chance to store heat in it's heavily insulated walls or soapstone insets, as the case may be, for the time when no direct heat is applied.
 Still another type of gas range designed to prevent fuel wastage is equipped with a temperature control device. This can be used to accomplish quick or slow, short time or longtime baking with equal satisfaction. Food may be placed in the oven when the oven is cold or hot, and the temperature adjusted to the degree desired. If the food being baked requires a hot oven for soaring at first, this

 Russian Rosettes.
 Cut regular sized cooked beets in slices and marinate them in French dressing for half an hour. Then drain them we'll and place them on small white lettuce leaves or on a tiny plate bordered with finely chopped parsley. Cut very small gherkins in slices length wise and arrange them on the beet slices with the ends radiating from the center. Squeeze little pound ed yolk of hard-cooked egg through the pastry tube into the very cen ter of the rosette, for decoration.
 BIueberry Bread Pudding.
 Simmer three cupfuls of canned blueberries and one and one-half cupfuls of sugar for fifteen minutes, or until thick and syrupy. Mes.while shave thin, slivery pieces from loaf of bread which is not too fresh, removing all crusts-about twelve ounces of bread will be needed. Spread the pieces of bread with very soft but ter, using four tablespoonfuls. Butter deep, rather pointed mold and fill with alternate layers of bread and berries, packing each layer down solidly so that the bread will absorb the berry syrup. Place on the ice for several hours, unmold and serve with sweetened whipped cream.

 Clean a shad roe and cook in boiling, salted, calculated water for twenty minutes. Drain, plunge into cold water, drain, re- move the membrane, and separate the roe into pieces. Chill thor oughly.
 Meanwhile, melt four table spoonfuls of butter in saucepan and add two tablespoonfuls of lemon-juice; mix and add the shal roe Break up lightly with fork, add the, yolks of two hard-cookcd eggs mashed fine, one-half cupful of dried, grated bread crumbs, one teaspoonful of chopped parsley, one teaspoonful of salt, and one eighth teaspoonful of pepper.

this purpose; this should include some fat. Crisp rapidly in a hot frying pan and remove to the center of hot platter. Pour ints the pan one cupful of thick, rich tomato sauce and stir until boiling, scraping off all the brown"
 Meantime, mix two cupfuls of finely cooked spinach with one tea spoonful of salt, one-eighth tea spoonful of pepper, one table spoonful of melted butter, one- fourth teaspoonful of sugar and one beaten egg. Form into egg shaped balls; place in a greased pan, sprinkle the tops with grated cheese, allowing about one tea spoonful for each ball, and brown lightly in a very hot oven, 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange around the ham as a border. Pour the tomato sauce around, not over, the ham and serve all very hot.
 Even though spinach may have appeared frequently on our Winter table, nevertheless it is SO healthful and delicious as still to prove one of our favorite Spring and early Summer products. Spinach salad is an excellent warm weather dish using this vegetable.
 Cook spinach in its own juice until tender and rub through a coarse ycolander or chop fine. To two cupfuls add one teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper and one-fourth teaspoonful of sugar; press 1t into oiled in- dividual molds and set in cold place to chill.
 When required, unmold on white lettuce leaves on which have been laid rounds-a little larger in diameter than the molds of spinach cut from slices of cold tongue or ham. Prepare a dressing of thick mayonnaise with which has been mixed at the last moment a small proportion of drained pie calilli or a tablespoonful each of chopped olives and whole capers. Top each mold with a teaspoon ful of the dressing and use more as garnish.

Tested
 Results of Thoroughly Regulated Heat with Many Kinds of Ovens

Y 70 waste fuel is a crime.
 Nanufacturers of cooking
 ranges have realized that and have designed ranges for gen eral cooking with fuel conserva- tion in mind. Although each range differs in this respect, they all tend to accomplish the same result-the elimination of fuel waste.
 One type of gas range employs the fireless cooker principle. When using this range the gas must be turned on and off by the operator, there being no automatic device for accomplishing this. The food may be put into the oven before the gas is lighted, or it may be put into a hot oven. In either case, after given length of time

 Another type of fuel-saving gas range has an automatic clock at tachment which can be set so that the heat will be on for any given length of time from five minutes up to one and one-kalf hours. When the time limit has been reached the gas is automatically turned off and the food continues to cook on the stored heat of he oven. In both this and the pre- viously mentioned type of oven a fairly high temperature is reached

the meal being cooked will not re- quire the whole oven space. In this case something else may often be cooked at this time.
 The illustration shows types of covered dishes which are conven- tent for use in oven cookery. pf- ferent shapes make possible eco nomical arrangements in the oven. Both stamped and cast aluminium, oven glass, earthenware and vitd- fled china are practical for this purpose.
 Even though one of these newer fuel-saving ranges is not available. much can be done toward the con, serving of fuel by placing a port . able oven thermometer in your range oven. This makes 1t pos sible to maintain a given tempera- ture using a minimum amoun of gas, and has at the same time a tendency to produce better results. This arrangement, however, needs careful attention, especially al first, until you have become accus- toned to the adjustment needed to maintain the respective temper atures.
 With the facilities at hanl' at this time there seems no excuse for the wastage of fuel in cook ing. It behooves us all Co take our part in it's conservation.
