 While all agree that it is a magni- ficent spectacle, and two or three adjudge it to be a fine play of great power, the majority are rather cold to 1t. Some condemn the language of the drama and think the liberties $ Dr. Baruch has taken with the original story in the Apocrypha has spoiled it. One critic says this has sentimentalized it nearly out of recognition"

WHY PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IS
 RULSHENISM

The Holland Tunnel, a double bore taking vehicles under the Hud- son to and from New York City, is owned jointly by the States of New York and New Jersey.
 lr began operations a year ago Tuesday, and has transmitted an average of about 5000 cars per day -;,t least 50 per cent more than were expected to use it in that time By present calculations, the bore will pay for itself in 10 years.
 It it were a "private enterprise, " the owners would celebrate that event by raising tolls. But this is a case of public ownership. When the tunnel is paid for, tolls will be abolished.
 Now We know why public utility interests say that Tublic ownership is "bolshevism."

A TIMELY WARNING

Paul G. Redington, chief of the
 U. s. Biological Survey is quoted as
 follows:
 For the past two seasons of trap
 ping, the fur catch in this country |h2s declined at an alarming rate. If
 the trappers continue to disregard son. more and more species will be reduced below the point where it is unprofitable to take them. If
 States do not take steps needed for protection of their stocks of fur an imals, the revenue from this source is srre to diminish and, of far great CT import, many of the former suit able haunts of these valuable and interesting animals will know them no more. The main requisite is a re- cognition of the fact that trapping
 should be allowed only during the period of prime fur and should not include the breeding season." On another column is the posi- tion taken by the recent convention
 of the Alaska Native Brotherhood held in Sitka. Or every issue as eff fecting the whole interest of the Ter
 ritCry that organization has been right. Had any other organization, lfraternal, quasi-political or political,
 taken similar positions, they would 1 have been hailed as sayiors of the country. But being wholly Indian, | they are illiteratG and ignorant
 therefore unqualified to talk upon
 tfose subjects with which they are most familiar. Still the literati, l if they would, might learn from them how to better this country.

OBSERVA1 IONS ON
 STRANGE ALASKA

People nave no conception of Alaska The world in general and particularly the people of the United States, still have strange notions about this magnificent country. They picture Alaska as it has been filmed and storied: land of perpetual ice and snow; dog sleds followed by bowling, hungry wolves; dance halls and saloons; bad men and women, and still more intensely cold wea- ther.
 Hut such a belief is erroneous. The summer climate of Alaska may easily be compared to that of the United States. It is warm and plea sGnt and no; at all sultry. The win ter climate is different and depends upon the section. In Southeast Alas ka the winters may be compared to those of W ashington D. c.
 Tn the interior of Alaska the gov ernment telegraph line is supported not by single poles set in the ground, as in the states, but by three smaller poles set in tripod fashion. The reasons are: Large timber does rot grow so far north :; the tripod poles are easier to erect especially since the ground is fro zen underneath; and the frost would push the poles up if they were dug through
 ,ome travellers (and writers) get queer notions One wrote that the three poles are used so the wire would not fall if one pole burned in a forest fire (What happens to a three-legged stool?). Another claim eG that they are used to withstand the wind.
