A GOOD MAN PASSES

The death of City Marshal Harry Kanaugh, at Anchorage this morning saw the passing of a brave and eff cient officer and a good citizen. MT, kavanaugh had been a peace officer for many years, and was well known to practically every man in the Third division He was fearless in the dis charge of his duties and had good record as an officer. His death is the more deely felt on account of his family, who reside in Anchorage. Mr. Kavanaugh met death as became an officer. in the discharge of his duty. but his example as an officer is a shining one May his soul rest in peace.
 This is the third officer who has been shot down by an irresponsible criminal in the past six years The fault in this case lies with the gen eral laxness allowed criminals, who are free to do as they please until an occasion arises for their arrest,
  the encounter from the fact that he is compelled to await action on the pal of the criminal before taking extreme measures, which are oftentimes tee late. The murderer Of Mir. kavanaugl had previously killed man, and h"' mistaken sympathy not prevailed a the time. he would have been in penitentiary for life. The man wht kills one time will kill another. The instinct is there The laws are
 lenient with a criminal.
 A case in point is that of youn: woman in Seattle who called a youn: man from the side of his bride an( shot him down. Her excuse at tn Irial was that she thought he was an other man. She got IS months 10 her crime because she was woman and her sobs worked on the juray The anguish of the young mans folk was not taken into consideration mawkish sentiment over-ruled juGg ment
 The present state of affairs place an officer in hard position He mus kill or be killed. and often in his an2 iety to protect himself an inoffensiv man is killed Then the officer i criticised The only way to stop ol lenses against the law is to make tn penalty so severe and conviction s certain that the, average man will hes itate at law breaking. For the hal dened criminal there is no hope.

SMALL TOWN NEEDS

What are the needs of a small
town, towns from one thousand up
20 fifteen thousand or more? Why
do so many young people leave
the towns and go to cities? Clar-
ence w. WAGNER has written a
book on Small Town Needs" in
which he says more and better
social and recreational facilities
are needed and this is "the great
est problem of them ALL" The
widespread lack of such facilities
he thinks is one OF the major rea-
sons why so few young people
who are intelligent, ambitious and
energetic can be persuad d I to
remain in the small town, where,
as a rule" thinks Mr.. Wagner,
''their lives could be spent to
greatest ultimate advantage to
self and nation"

THE TREND OF PRICES

The markets have been excited
and subject to wide fluctuations
with the crop news from day to
day. Wheat is the crop most af-
fected by foreign competition, and
our strongest competitor is Cana
da. The Dominion Bureau of Sta
tistics estimated the Canadian
crop at 282,042,000 bushels, as
of August l, which compares with
474,199,000 bushels last year. The
oat crop is down about one-third
from last year. The wheat crop Of
the northern hemisphere is esti-
mated by our Department of Agri-
culture as 10 to Is per cent less
than last year. Asia, which has
been taking considerable flour
/ from Canada and our Pacific coast
has less home grown wheat than
last year and Europe has less. The
Russian government states that
its crops are about the same as
last year and that there will be
about the same quality of grain for
export. There are reports of lar.
ger acreage in Argentina and Aus.
tralia, but it is too early to know
much about the probable yield in
those countries. The margin OF
probable supplies over estimated
demands is small, which makes
the market situation decidedly
4 different from what it was last
year.-New York National City
Bank Bulletin.

Senator w. A. Titus, who has

hard headed man of affairs, which
ordinarily may not accurately be
said of those possessing a literary
turn of mind. Senator Titus
