PLAN OF P. 0. DEPARTMENT TO SHIP MAIL FROM SEAT
  TILE TO ALASKA BY FREIGHT
Anchorage Times.

The whole trouble with the mail situation in Alaska is that the service given Alaskans is costing more than the Postofice Department is willing 10 continue to pay. There must he retrenchment in the Postoffice De partment as well as in the other de partments of the government, it is argued, and Alaska appears to offer the best opportunity for immediate retrenchment, because of its scattered population and great distance from the national capital. It has been orr dered that the cost of the Alaska ser vice be cut three hundred thousand dollars annually, and, with that end m view. Territorial inspectors and mail clerks have been busy the last several months, eliminating routes and reducing frequency of delivery. The biggest. single saving planned is in the manneraof shipping. the mails from Seattle to Alaska, the announc- ed intention being to ship the mails as freight which will effect d saving of approximately 9125,000, as against the present practice of contract deliv- cries. It.is of interest to, note that 1nder the proposed plan of shipment. as freight, the carriers will not as- sume responsibility for safe delivery of valuable articles, such as gold shipments, bank notes, securities. furs, etc, unless the bills of lading are signed therefor, in which their nature and value are expressed and. extra freight paid for the assumption of extraordinary risk, at an additional rate of one dollar for every one hun. dred dollars of valuation

LICENSED BIG GAME HUNTER
 KILLS MOUNTAIN SHEEP AND
 AND PAYS S1G0 AND, COSTS

Juneau.--Kenneth R. Walker, of, Westwood Calif., a, licensed big game hunter, yesterday pleaded guilty in, the U. 5. Commissioners court. to $. charge of having killed a. mountain sheep before the opening of the sea- son. He was fined $100, including costs, and the trophy will be forfeit ed, in accordance with the provisions. of the Alaska, game law.
 The local office of the Alaska Game Commission states that from certain remarks made by the party on their way North, the Commission was sus- picious that they would not obey the law, and accordingly took steps to keep track of their operations, with the result that this violation was de-. tected.
 No charge has as yet been filed against Allen Williams, licensed guide for the party, who permitted and assisted in the illegal killing if the sheep but the Commission an- 1ounces that it is practically certain that his license will be revoked, which will make him ineligible for a. guides license for the next five years, and it is possible. further action may be takeNqagainst him pending the outcomeeof an investigation of an ad- ditional Gharge against him.
 Kenneth Walker was hunting with his brother, Fletcher, along the Rich ardson trail. 9,. The Walker brothers are of the family which operates the Red River Lumber Company at Vest wood, Calif., one of the largest lum- esr concerns in the United States.

what is not, made in so-called Chris
tian civilization, the Riffian tribesmen
in North Africa are reported to sub
Ject prisoners to barbarous torture.
An unconfirmed report which comes
by way of Paris says that when they
bring down an airplane they burn out
the stomach of the pilot.
The French are less cruel. The
toughest thing they are reported to
have done consisted in sending bomb
ing airrlanes over a little Moroccan
village, filled with women and chill
dren during the hour of prayer. The
villagers who were not victims of the
exploding bombs were driven to the
hills to watch in helpless anguish the
destruction of their homes.
There is undoubtedly difference
here, but it would take a sophist to
explain it.
A number of States are attempting
by Legislation to put a check on the
wanton destruction of forests and
homes through the carelessness of
campers, tourists and match throwers.

life and property as displayed by some

ton, says that the phrase in question:
is the most misleading combination
Of words in the language of business
Every fire is an industrial death, he
says; all burned equipment, every Bit
of destroyed material is SO much gone
forever.
"Other men may be bora and other
material may be dug from the earth
or cut from the forests" Mr.. Went
worth says, "but these are new crea-
lures demanding all the expenditures
Of effort new creations necessarily in
volve. A burned industry is dead and
it stays dead until it is laboriously
built up again."
He lays special stress on the fact
that ''the fire insurance companies
have not an ounce of raw material in
their till, nor a plank or a bar of
steel, nor rivet nor a wheel, they
merely collect money from us all to
finance the individual who has the
fire. This individual S generally re-
garded as an object of sympathy; but
in many cases he is a public offender
and should be looked upon as such.

through the careless than through the
cunning. We can not catch the cum

If the President had stayed in
Washington all the hot summer or in
numerous other cities where Govern

worked as Government clerk, it is
barely possible that he might have
been more interested in lettering the

might have realized that working for
the Government is hard, poorly paid
toll and he might even have listened
with sympathetic ear to the request
of Government workers for fairer
treatment.

The reds have lot of good friends
They still have them. Some Of them
are concession hunters. Some of them
are spot-lighters. Sorao Of them are
added in the brain.
Just recently newspapers reported
former Governor James P. Goodrich of
Indiana, Col. William P. Haskell, for
merly of the American Relief Admin
istration, and DR.. Frank A. Colder of
Leland Stanford University, as having
arrived in Leningrad to attend a con-
gress of scientists.
Now here is the news gem in these
stories: Col. Haskell told the reporters
that establishment of full relations be-
tween America and the soviets de-
pended upon soviet recognition Of
the Russian prewar debts.
Haskell is not in doubt about it. He
is positive.
That Haskell is a million miles from
the truth, that he puts American
principle entirely out Of the picture
and proposes a trade Of the basest
kind will never occur to the easy, toll
Grant ones, but it happens to be the
situation, just the same.
Fortunately, whatever Co. Haskell
thinks of himself, he does not speak
for America, any more than the easy
and tolerant ones spoke for trade I'M
ionism six years ago.

Many persons who came to scott
at those who fought bolshevism two,
four and six years ago have remained
to pray that bolshevism may somehow
be rooted out of their own firesides.
There were those who used to say,
"Oh, let 'em alone; they ought to be
allowed to talk all they want to-" and
there was gentle and broad-minded
(as it is called) tolerance for the sow
ct agitators.
1t is all very interesting to look back
upon. And perhaps it has its lesson
for those who are willing to look back.
Two of the largest trade union or
CARNATIONS in America for long
time maintained this attitude of toler-
ance. At least, they thought it was
tolerance. Now they know it was
plain darned foolishness For now
they are compelled to fight almost a
life and death battle to clean COM
munism out of their ranks.
One of the important phases OF
communist agitation now dawns on
many who refused to see it when the
fight was young. It is that the COM
munists organize as well as talk.
And the organizations of reds with

Well, it is not given TO everyone to
be as farsighted as Samuel Gompers
was. His voice was raised the moment
the communists came into power in
Russia.
There is a good thing to remember
just now.
The communists viii never over
throw American institutions. They
will never overthrow American trade
unionism. That is what the tolerant
ones said six years ago. It was true,
and it is true, but It was and is true
only because there was a leadership

that saw the danger and because there
is a leadership today that sees and
