lars as against the sum of fifteen thousand, actually net by the Gov government in the previous sale, we frankly cannot account for the discrepancy.
 Frankly, we do not believe that MT. O'Malley is telling the truth in this report. Like his amazing report of a wonderful increase of salmon this year, we do not believe it beneath him to add further pre- varications to his official reports.

GAME LICENSE
The Alaska Game Commission

The Alaska Game Commission suggested recently that resident hunting license be imposed in or der that persons not eligible to resident privileges might be more easily detected and eliminated.
 Tn principle we are opposed to these nuisance taxes. The tax on fisherman has worked out so that no attention Is paid the law and it imposes penalty on resident Alas ksps. True, the tax is negligible, but it is working out in the wrong way and not meeting the end de- sired. However that is the fault of the law and it's workings. We do not believe that such taxes should be collected on a percent age basis. Regularly appointed tax collectors on salary should look af- ter such collections and each town or precinct look into every possible tax payer receipts to insure the equitable enforcement of the law.
 The principles set forth In the f,shermen's tax should hold in the hunting tax. Aliens are hunting and trapping in and out of season: ewing no allegiance to the Terri tory or the country, the fatten off the land and after depletion sets in leave for other climes and Alas kans hold the "empty sack" Had such a law been in force such an accident as took the life of Om- stead last week would not have been. A resident of the country but two months, while the other two were also alien residents of the country, carrying arms in vio- lation of the laws, they went into tue woods of strange country and no doubt were afraid of wild ani- .nals Therefore, when one saw a movement in the brush, let go of trigger finger with the result that he will carry remorse to his death for having caused the death of his friend.
 In the second place, various States have provided for such ac- cldental deaths charge of man daughter. Carrying arms in viola tion of the law, it would appear to us that some such penalty should be invoked and thereby compel 8 respect for that law. Such green uess as demonstrated in the woods makes 1t dangerous for others to hunt in their vicinity.
 Present hit-and-miss system o1 enforcing regulations and attempt. ing to conserve game is not eff fective and will mean the early ex termination of game. A system o1 licensing as is in vogue in the States would entirely serve the pur pose of eliminating those who arc not ntitled to hunt.
 We helieve that the proper pro lection of hunters is necessary ant can be secured only trough suci . system. It will prevent any sucf reckless and foolish shooting as took the young life recently.

seif-governing

though it be a se1f-governing state. Industrial democracy means the right of those who participate in industry as owners and work CTS to determine the conditions under which industry shall be car ried on, with the state acting only to see that there Is fair play. So democracy in education means the right of people to determine how they and their children shall be educated. That right involves the right to keep education free from politics. Education should be ad- ministered solely by those who have education as their interest. To have schools and universities administered by or for capitalists, by or for social theorists, is bad enough; but the people can always escape the evils of such education ii there are schools and universi- ties carried on for the students by educationalists. The irremediable injury to the people comes when their own schools become admins tered by and for politicians.

Men Made Half A Century Total

Observation-Disclosures Charles A.
Slack was honored by his daughter,
Miss Mabelle Slack, with a party

other Grand Army men, survivors
Of Major C. A. Angel Post, No.

is 70 years, and the oldest 81 years.
The aggregate age of the six veter-
ans totaled 1913 years. They were

liams, Jacob Helms, John Malloy and
John II. Large.
Others present were Rev. P. r.
Conner, Mrs. Crook, Mrs. Williams

July 4th Cele-
brafi0n A Ssured
81 Organizations Pledge Over s675

Lambertville-Th third meeting
for completion of plans for a fitting
observance of July Fourth was held
in the Commission Chamber last
Friday evening. 1t was reported
that the 81 patriotic and civic organ
izations promoting the celebration
have pledged an average of S25 each,
which will aggregate S675.
As this is the l50th anniversary
of American Independence, it is hop
ed to make the celebration thoroly
fitting to the occasion, and this will
involve the expenditure of consider
able money. In addition to the above
pledges it will be necessary to make
canvass of the business houses and
manufacturers in order to raise the
balance needed. This canvass is be-
ing made this week.
The tentative program as it now
stands calls for the parade to be-
gin at $3.50 ON Monday, July 9th. A
Boy Scout demonstration at 11:3G;
track and field meet at 100; ball
game at 800; baby parade at $50.
And in the evening there will be a
pageant, band concert, community
chorus and fire works.

NEAR DEATH in
AUTO CRASH
Russell Win Struck At Ireland's
Quarry BY Ford Truck
NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE

bertville-Russell Win, 90
years of age, of jefferson street, is
in st. Francis Hospital not expect
ed to live following an auto crash
opposite Ireland's Quarry Tuesday
afternoon at three o'clock. He was
struck by Ford truck driven by
Jared Kline, farmer, of Headquarters,
and it is supposed that his head
struck post or rock when he fell,
and his skull was fractured.
Win, who was well driller at the
quarry, had left his car, Ford
coupe, standing on the platform
across the road from the quarry. He
had secured something from the car
and stepped from behind it directly
in the path of Kline's car when he
was struck. Donald Park, an EN-
ployee in the quarry office, says that
no eye witnesses were reported to
have seen the accident, but that
workers at the quarry had seen Kline
approaching at moderate speed
which would not exceed Is miles an
hour. The road is rough at this
point, and it is hardly probable
that Kline was running very fast.
However, Kline's car was overturn-
ed, and he suffered severe shaking
up.
He Immediately picked Win up and
he was taken to the office of DIR.
l.. A. Hamilton in Lambertville.
There it was found that he was
seriously injured, and the Fire Pa
troll ambulance was called and a
quick run was made to st. Francis
Hospital. Reports from the hospital
are that the injuries are so serious
that he is not expected to live. Wins
home is in Plainfield, but he had
been boarding here with his brother
on Jefferson, street.

Liberal Response To
Il Ambulance Fund
$685. Secured In Canvass, With
Promises of $50 More

Observation-Disclosures J. A. Vet
ter, on behalf of the Fire Patrol,
wishes to thank those who so gem
erously responded to their plea
for funds to wipe out the balance
due on the public ambulance and to
maintain it for service. In the can
vass made by the Fire Patrol last
week $665 were contributed in cash,
and there were pledges made for
over fifty dollars more.
The note for the balance due on
the ambulance for $500 was paid Off
at Amwel National Bank last Sat
urday. The balance of the fund is
deposited to be used judiciously in
the maintenance of the ambulance
The cost of operation averages fif-
teen cents mile, so that run tc
Trenton hospitals actually costs
about IS, and Philadelphia run
twice that much.
The need supplied by the ambu
lance was demonstrated on Tuesday
when Russell Win was taken to st
Francis Hospital following motol
accident at Ireland's Quarry. This is
typical of the splendid service en-
dered to the public by the members
of the Fire Patrol who have been
untiring in their efforts and services
free of charge, and even paying
from their own pockets deficits when
extraordinary repairs had to be
made.
