ever, are chosen on account Of their
peculiar ability in this line, and not

The opinions that are Influential
among mankind are those that are ex-
erected from experience.
When a man has achieved fame in
any direction or popularity for any
cause, it is quite the fashion to ask
him his opinions in other directions
They are no more valuable than the
opinions Of anybody else.
Sir Conan Doyle as an authroity

good detective story writer. His
opinions on the craftsmanship Of story
telling ought 10 be valuable. His
views on spirit rapping are worth no
more than the views Of any neopbyte.
Every man has his opinions about
every sort of thing, we suppose, and
Henry Ford, for instance, being
man Of some intelligence. should be
listened to. But as an expert on
ytatecraft we should prefer TO go 70
one who has spent his life in the
business.

There is Latin proverb, Ne sutor
ultra crepidam. which means sub
stantially, Let the shoemaker stick TO
his last.
Luther Burbank recently took a
flier into theology and announced
himself as an infidcl. Hardly did the
furore occasioned by this announce
mcnt subside than he announced that
he could cure disease by holding
hands, or some other process.
As a theologfian and a physician,
Burbank seems TO be a good plant
raiser.
When Henry Ford announces his
campaign against the Jews he demon
strates that b. is a good automobile
maker. That is about all.
Edison doubts the Immortality Of
the soul, and as a Teasoner in such
things he makes good electric bulbs.
We don't 90 10 a grocer 10 get our

In other words, the value Of a
mans opinion depends On bow far that
opinion Is extracted and is the re-
suit Of his special studies or his ex-

An Early Warning

" HE campaign against Fourth Of July fireworks,
which had been almost discontinued as it was
= considered that further warnings were not
needed should be renewed advises the United States
public health service in its annual report to Congress
The statistics show that last July in Sc states there
less than Ill persons killed and 1880 injured
while celebrating with fireworks That is too heavy
price to pay for few moments of fun and frolic.
1t is important to read that, Sin many cases, injury
death due to fireworks considered harmless such
sparkers, blank cartridges, cap pistols skyrockes
small firecrackers and Roman candles"
There forms of celebration, publicly conducted,
where fireworks handled only by experienced adults
and where there is scarcely any danger In these there
is sufficient pleasure for the average person. especially
where training has been along the lines Of safety.

Our Spring Festival

n PRING comes to San Antonio unheralded. No
one can point out such and such day or such
~ and such a week the beginning OF spring. But
even here in the Southwest where there is no striking
contrast between the bitter days of winter and the gentle
ones of spring we the dominance of this season
and enjoy fully much do the inhabitants OF those
regions where the appearance OF the first flower OF the
year is hailed with delight that is almost delirlous
Long before Christian peoples adopted the custom
Of observing Easter Sunday in commemoratisn OF the
resurrection of Jesus, the pa celebrated the annual
awakening of life tsn the long winter sleep Thus the
miracle of the resurrection of the great Teacher is linked
with tia resurrection of the life forces of nature No
other season would offer fit setting for Easter, our
spring festival.
The awakening of life the hills and in the val
leys of this region is manifest this year than in
1925 On every side there evidences that nature
has awakened vigorous and refreshed. There is life
and color in landscape that must add inspiration to
the joyous spirit of the Easter festival and that augurs
well for the future.

QUEENS COUNSEL
By MARIE, QUEEN OF RoUMANIA.

We have all heard of Emile Coue's
theories Of the subconscious and
how We can defend ourselves against
illness, pain and encouragement by
inOculating our subconscious mind
with the vaccine Of resistance. The
subconscious, then, becomes an unseen
friend which upholds US at the mo-
ment of need.
I believe in this with all my heart.
! use it for myself, and upon others.
When I know, for example. that

ton, / begin talking Of the different
sides of the question as long before

in an offhand way, not eupbatiyely,
let insistantly stressing especially the
point at which the danger lies, and
the arguments that will be used to
make him do the wrong thing.
Again and again I come back 10
all this, at times especially when be
is off HE guard and not particularly
following up my arguments, the mo-
ments when. according 10 Coue the
"inoculation" has most effect.

full Of ny arguments which Carefully

Golf Figures

T% HE statistics which compiled to advertise
the golf exposition in Chicago would be startling
if anything in the way of statistics could startIe
this big country.
Four thousand eighteen-hole golf courses in the
United States which means 100000 acres about 900
square miles, devoted to golf agricultural Eight hun
dred million dollars invested in these plants 5000 900
players last year, probably 100000 this year, If the
golf exposition is big the figures it will be worth
going long way to see.

Value of Rebellion

IN UBLIC executoners are interesting perhaps be-
cause the wise realize that only the grace of God
has saved them from more intimate acquaint-
ance with such gentlemen
William Christopher Patterson dies aged eighty
four killing fiftyfour and women by the rope and
electric chair.
He had the honor Of killing the first woman that
ever died in the electric chair Asked whether innocent
men executed, old Patterson replied: at is
good law of life to mind your business not
employed as judge"
Another and better law of life is to be your own
judge and refuse to do what you know you ought not
do The worlds progress is due TO that have

earliest rebel against ancient tyrant to the men
that signed the Declaration of Independence.

Kitchen Efficiency

u for divorce because he tried to put his wife on
- 'cost finding" basis.
The budget he allowed her provided for so break
fass month at II 12 cents each, so dinners at go
cents each, and go suppers at 60 cents each
If she exceeded the budget her cost finding engi-
deducted the money from the following months
allowance and charged her per cent interest on all
money advanced until she paid it.
Efficiency is great thing in the kitchen.
And one of the most efficient implements therein
is the rolling pin, if you know what we mean.

 Using AirpIanes This Year

Using AirpIanes This Year
 One of the big things to be con. ducted this year by the department will be the southeastern Alaska sur. vey work in which airplanes will be pressed into service. The isl and portions of southeastern Alaska will occupy the entire season, he be- lleVed, and from the notes and ob. 1 servations obtained, maps will be worked up. Providing the plane work is a success, it is planned to work up the coast towards Seward and the westward, the succeeding years. R. H. Sargent will be in charge of the plane surveys.
 J. B. Mertie, jr., will be detailed to the districts west of Seward; s. R. Capps will make another trip into the Mount Spur country and F. H. Moffitt will do the general work.
 Plot Immense Region
 This seasons work in the Arctic will probably close up the work of the three preceding years in the naval petroleum reserve, Dr. Smith said. He estimated the region map ped previously, together with this coming years work will have cover ed 25,o0O to 35,000 square miles.
 Maps from the regions covered two years ago will be off the press shortly, he thought, but the con- pleted this seasoncmfw ct shr cmm plete map, it is believed, will not be completed this season unless the navy department goes ahead with it's development program, in which case the maps should be ready for distri- button to the public within the next year or so
 Referring to his past exploration work in the Arctic petroleum re- serve, Dr. Smith said, unless a large oil field is discovered, he was doubt ful, due to the excessive costs Of operations, being so remote from transportation and the handicaps of shipping facilities, if it would be feasible to even think of develop ments in the near future.
 Famed Many CoIors
 The mineral outlook was fair and there is possibility there is large quantities of gold in the mountain regions. But wherever gold is found past experience has taught geologists there is little likelihood oil would be found, and visa versa. The past trips into the Colville river basin country, and to other portions of that region lying between the Arctic Circle and the Arctic ocean, by Dr. Smith and his parties, were made primarily and devoted to, the oil survey and little attention was made with respect to minerals. Ere quently, they did a little banning and here and there procured colors, but nohing to amount to anything.

VICTORIA TO HAVESPECIAL
 1926 CRUISE
SUMMER SAILING DATES ON A. S. S. CO.,, STEAMERS ARE
 ANNOUNCED

Summer sailing dates for the Alas ka Steamship Company have recent ly been received here. A different arrangement in handling tourists is to be made this year in order to insure less difficulty in accommodating local passengers for Alaska ports.
 The Victoria en route to Nome on her July 3 sailing will bring excur- sionists along the southeastern coast and will make calls at Ketchikan, Ju- neau, Cordova and Seward. From May 29 to August 4 the steamers will call at Columbia Glacier.
 The schedule from now on through the summer is as follows:
Seward daily gateway., 1926-02-26

1OdoL III SGpCSI1DSI UT OClOD6L, duU making their way back to the States by way of Nome
 Will Use Canoes.
 The region will be explored from Petersborough canoes, two of them which are now at Kotzebue, and it is Dr. Smiths plan, according to infor nation given The Gateway represen. tative, to proceed along the coast to Kavilina, which is perhaps about 100 miles northwest of Kotzebue, then strike into the mountains forming the watershed of the streams which drain into the Noatak and those flowing di- rect into the Arctic Ocean. They will work the hill country over there, then cross the Endicott range to the Utu- kok river. Dr. Smith said he expect ed by the time the party arrived at Utukok river the spring breakup would be under way. It is thru that region that the mapping of the country will be done mostly, via the canoes.
 To Join Former Surveys
 He will continue the surveys along the Ulatut and Kaolok and work over eastward towards the headwaters of Meade river, there joining the surveys made last year and in 1924. They will then descend Meade river to within a short distance of the coast and port age across to the Inaru river thence upstream to Portage Landing, then to the head of Peard Bay from which point the return from Wainwright, Dr. Smith said he anticipated making connections with a Bureau of Edu- cation vessel, or some trading vessel, for Nome, thence to Seattle.
 Appropriations May Be Cut
 Most of the same crews which were in the field last season are expected to return to Alaska this season, Dr. Smith said, but the work may be cur tailed to a considerable extent if the appropriation, which was cut one-third when it passed the House, goes thru the Senate. However, Dr. Smith was under the impression when it reach ed the Senate the appropriation would be increased to the original amount.
 S. R. Capps In Charge
 During the absence of his chief, Stephen R. Capps, geologist, who has been assigned to Alaskan work for many years past, has been placed in charge of the Washington office. Dr. Smith stated MT. Capps would be re- sponsible for the coming seasons work as he, Dr. Smith, would be out of touch by mail or telegraph from April until he reaches Nome.
 Tentative Plans Season
 It is hoped that party will be able to carry on work in the Alaska Range region this season, in the vicinity southwest of the Rainey Pass ana Mount Spur region. Another party will probably go north of the Yukon into the Sheenjek region, which is between the Canadian boundary line

MARX CRITICIzES
 GERMAN NATION
Declares There Is Little Spirit
 of True Democracy

Berlin, Aug. 24 dP = The Ger man nation has been severely taken to task by Chancellor Will heml Marx in an address before a Catholic convention in Breslau.
 There Is very little true spirit of democratic cooperation in Ger many. Dr. Marx said, and sections of the nation are too much under the spell of individualism which strangles and kills the spirit of harmony, the furtherance of which ought to be the supreme task of all.
 'ro sheer, to criticize. to abuse the existing state of authority and at the same time refuse to help reconstruct the state, is in no way conductive to the states welfare. :" continued Dr. Marx, and more- over it is most unpatriotic.
 The duty of al patriotic citizens is to strive 10 the best of their ability for a revival of the eco- homie and national life. It is not patriotic to injure the feelings of those from whom one differs on questions of organization of the state while refusing to help elimi- nate those differences of opinion and exert al possible energy for the nations welfare. It is also un- patriotic for individual citizens to make demands on the state which might be granted in normal and prosperous times but not in the present day of heavy taxation. The state, like every citizen. has right
