store a million dollars Of expense
which his predecessor, Republican, had
cut out. Back in 1912, when the
Democrats were seeking control of the
National Government, they denounced
Republican extravaganza, declaring
that there was needless number of
people on the Government payrolls.
On that issue, combined with a prom
won the election. From the day of
Inauguration, the number of people on
the payroll increased, as also did the
cost of living. Within a few months
after they came into power, the Dem
ocrats were faced by depleted treas
ury and FASTENED to impose new taxes.
That was many months before the
United States made the first move to-
ward military preparedness, and two
years before we entered the war. Will
sons excuse was that the people do
not begrudge high taxes if they get
something for the money. Governor
Al. Smith, of New York, puts it in
pretty much the same language: "The
people don't want the kind of economy
that handicaps state institutions"
Since you cannot cut down expense
without cutting off some state activi-
ties, the Smith Wilson doctrine means
that there can be no retrenchment.

 Railroad officials and banking of ficers here declared that only the Rochdale cooperative societies in England offer a parallel in the en- trance of industrial workers in the financial and business field.

MUSEUM HEAD
 MAKES PLEA
 FOR SUPPORT

A visitor in Cordova today is Rev. of the Alaska Historical Association, who is to deliver a lecture tonight under the auspices of the Alaska Pio- neers. Father Kashevaroff, who is curator of the Alaska Museum and Lii brary at Juneau, is on a tour among the various towns of the Territory in brary. Born at Kodiak four years be- fore the transfer of the Territory from Russian rule, Father Kashevaroff has lived all his life in Alaska, and as a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church has ministered and taught in virtually every section of the Terri torial coast Most of his life has been devoted to educational work, and as a teacher at Sitka in 1880, at Nuchek, on Hinchinbrook Island in 1894, at Kodiak for two years, and later again at Sitka, where he had charge of the Russian school and sem mary, he has seen and learned of most of the history of the Territory since it has been under the American flag. On the history and traditions of Alaska he is perhaps the best-in- formed person living today. Ordained to the priesthood in 1904, he has per formed much and valuable missionary work among the natives, whose call to him at this time has given him the occasion to make his Territorial tour.
 Father Kashevaroff's object in wis iting the various towns of the Terri tory is to arouse an interest in the very valuable collection of relics and the immeasurably valuable library of 5000 volumes now stored in Juneau and without any funds whatever for their care and support To arouse the people of Alaska to the import ance of this collection and the neces- sity for appropriations by the Terri torial legislature for it's maintenance Father Kashevaroff is making his appeal.
 'I feel that the people of the Ter ritory should be made acquainted with the great value of what they possess in the Library and Museum at Juneau" said Father Kashevaroff to- day. We have eight thousand vol umes of the rarest of books on Eng fish, Spanish and Russian explorations in the North Pacific, and of the early history of the Territory. We also have 700 volumes of newspapers pub lished in Alaska-a complete file of the Alaska press This is a collection whose value cannot be estimated in money. At present it has no home, and there are no funds available for it's proper housing and maintenance. It is for the purpose of arousing a sentiment throughout the Territory which will make itself felt on the com ing legislature, to the end that funds may be appropriated for that purpose, that I am making my tour of the country"
 Father Kashevaroff is financing his own expedition in the interests of the museum and library. No admission fee is charged, but to help defray his expenses a collection is taken up. His journey to Prince William Sound is at the call of the natives, for whom he held services this morning at St
 Georges Church. From here he will
 go to Seward, Anchorage and Fair banks.

Sense JOHN 3 ssizzs
NEGLECTED GENIUS.

0NE Of the best-known OF modern
- poets. Ill and destitute after q life.
time Of toll, announces cheerfully that
he Is emphatically not neglected
genius. :{%>
True, he has no money, but it was
not money that he worked for. His
fame is perhaps not as great as his
talent merited. but he did not work
for fame. He worked for the Joy Of
working, and that was enough.
He looks back upon life feeling that
It brought him all that he could ask.
Genius Is not neglected any more
than diamonds are neglected. and for
the same reason. This man, had he
chosen. could now be comfortably sup.
piled with money.
We believe that he should have
been. Every man owes 1t to himself
to gain independence, and money
means independence. Our poets celeb.
rity could have been coined into
enough cash to ease his old age, but
II he preferred to neglect his oppor-
tunities it is nobody's business but his
own.
1t is his absence Of bitterness that
Is worth needing. He has discovered,
what every other man should discover,
that no earnest effort Is wasted. He
has learned that people are only too
ready to recognize genius when they
find 1t. and to reward It when they
recognize 1t. .,n5
Indeed. so keen Is the hunt for
genius that hundreds Of near. geniuses
grow prosperous In America as soon
as they betray the least sign Of talent.
Publishers and producers hunt for
men who can write. Great corpora,
lions send out, scouts for men With
executive or engineering ability that
Is beyond the common order.
No musician who is really gifted
ever fails Of an audience. And even
Industrious mediocrity will sometimes
be mistaken for genius and have
riches thrust upon It. Il s
Cast the fear that you may be a
neglected genius from among your
worries. If you are genius somebody
will find it out, and you will have to
hire an Office boy to keep people from
invading your privacy.
Even If you are not a. genius you
are likely to be mistaken for one. But
that will not harm you unless you
make the mistake yourself. Be care
full not to do that, for it will be fatal.

DUCKS FLY SOUTH

Wild ducks and cranes up north are beginning to fly
south almost two months ahead Of the usual time. This is
announced by the Canadian National Railways, relaying word
received from their agents.
Old settlers in Ontario say that never within memory
have they known the ducks and cranes to start their south
ward migratory flights so early.
The settlers believe that an early winter, is coming.
Hudson Bay fur trappers report that the wild rice, ia.
vorite food for wild ducks and geese, matured very early this
year. The trappers say this is another indication that winter
is not far away.
The weather this year has been so queer all over the
world, due to the suns giving off about 5 per cent less heat
than usual, that winter might arrive two months ahead of its
customary schedule without amazing US.
Spring was late in most parts of the earth. Summer
came IN hot waves, working double to make up for lost time.
The maple leaves in the tourist country of Ontario started
turning red and yellow in mid-August, nearly a month early.
That looks like an early fall, forerunner of an early winter.
Ojibway Indians, on the other hand, insist that all the
seasons are three weeks late this year and that winter will
arrive late instead of ahead of schedule. They base their
prediction on the fact that in August they have had to
fish 200 feet deep to catch genuine salmon trout, whereas
normally they would find these red trout floating 100 feet
below the surface of the lakes.
The Indians figure that the salmon trout will be three
weeks late IN rising to spawn on the shoals this fall. Which.
say the Ojibways, is a sure sign Of a late fall and a late win.
ter. "a
The controversy narrows down to this: Which is the better
weather prophet, a wild duck or a deep-water fish, Both are
guided by instinct Of a mysterious sort that enables them to
sense the weather months ahead.
Even old Mother Nature seems to be contradictory this
year, as confused as we who in our rise to civilization have
lost the sixth sense possessed by wild ducks, salmon trout and
to q lesser extent Indians.
