ABOLISH PTECEMEAL
 PANACEAS From Seward Gateway

While every hope for success of his plans for colonizing the Railroad Belt accompanies Gen. eral Manager Ohlson's efforts, the departure is but a piecemeal Lanacea for the slow growth of population, not only here but in other portions of the Territory.
 Gauged by several decades of history, little real progress can be looked for until Washington takes the wraps off the lines and allows Alaska to come into her own. It will not be necessary to extract funds from the treas ury in attracting settlers. Op- portunity will serve as a greater magnet.
 While there is merit in con- servation for posterity, the in terrogations of what posterity" intrudes itself. It would appear logical to consider the youth of Alaska as the primary element in the general scheme, a thing that is not apparent when iron clad restrictions, over-regula- tion bureaucracy in all it's mal- 'ignant guises staly freelk in the land
 One does not have to assure Ia pessimistic attitude to picture future of Alaska's educated youth. At the present writing it is not inviting. The field is restricted to accepting a wage from the business field, or a wage from the government bu- reau, or a wage III the nSnlng in the fishing industry, and f1n- ally days job at hard labor.
 Steps must be taken to create Ia field for the rapidly develop ing younger generation, where the arts and sciences are open to those who qualify thereof. it must not be restricted to the Socialistic condition which bu- !reaucracy has saddled upon us.
 In other words take down the barriers and Alaska will work out it's own salvation without help. Hoover said bureaucracy blighted mems souls. Take it off and allow Alaska to develop 3 soul and she'll do the rest.

CURE OF WORLDS ILLS BY CULTS
 James E. Little

If the opportunity for eco homie success is so great aoinm homie success and material hap piness is so great in this coun- try, why are there>so many fail- ures in industrial life? Why du these mighty multitudes gathA about the platforms of these agitators and communiStic orat- ors? "The fault, dear people lies not in our stars, but in our- selves. that we are undernngs :"
 Success or failure, nine times out of ten, is preponderantly 3 matter of character. And what is character? Character is the sum total of your habits, for habit makes character.
 A man is the product of his habits. Tell me a mans daily habits, and I can usually give you his character without 50 much as a glimpse of his face or figure, although both his face and figure usually are unfailing index to his character. Well. then, let me go a step further, what is habit? It is an action repeated over and over again until it becomes a kind of se- cond nature. Automatically, the hand of a thief finds it's way into the pocket of another. Certain actions are easy to re- peat because they follow a mans internal appetities and passions. All men and women are subject to hunger and sex longings. Gluttons and libertines allow their instincts to rule instead of ruling their instincts.
 Bad Habits are always easy to acquire because they follow in variably the passions which we share with animals. Greed, self ishness, cruelty, intemperance all these animal passions be- get an iron chain of habits if 2 man, or woman, follows blindly the list of his nature. Bad hab- it's are called vices, and weak and evil men and women arc scarcely to be reckoned human for they are not much moro than brute beasts dominated by their own unrestrained inclina- tions.
 Good habits constitute virtues and they are hardly acquired and easily lost.
 All men and women have na- tural prompting both to good and evil. A good. and therefore happy man and woman, is one whose good habits outnumbel

Last week one dead and one narrow escape from the mangl- ing jaws of the brown bear was reported. The man was a sur veyer connected with the feder- al payroll; the other near-vic- tim made his escape by

PARTY OF tourists travelling
n through India, land of mys-
terry and magic, came upon a
temple having four doors, before
each Of which was stationed a
guard. A small entrance fee Of
four English pennies was charged
each member Of the party.
The first member Of the party
20 enter the temple had a GER
tain sum in his pocket, and gave
the guard the prescribed price
of admittance. AS he proceeded
toward the centre Of the temple
a surprising thing happened in
that the value of the coins he
had left after paying the en-
trance fee was exactly doubled
by the magic of the temple.
As the tourist left the temple
by the same door he entered he
gave the guard a sum equal to
the entrance fee.
The tourists curiosity was so
great as y result of his expert
ence that he determined to enter
the temple by the other three
doors. In each case he had ex-
actly the same experience with
the exception that when he made
his exit through the last door he
found that all Of the coins in his
pocket had disappeared.
The tourist was greatly puZ-
zled over his strange experience.
He had forgotten how much
money IN coin he had in his
pocket when he first entered the
temple. but was able to figure it
out. Can you do as well?

MURDER!
By r. ~LONCSTRETH
and l.. L. HOLTON

THE game Of Murder" takes
on tremendous possibilities
as an extemporaneous mas
terpiece of dramatic fiction. It
can be played with great success
at any party where there are
half a dozen or more guests, one
of them with a reasonably good
memory and the others with will
ing imaginations. 1t is a thrill
ing game and gets an intense
hold on everyone, willy-nilly.
The rules are simple. One per-
son is selected to be the District
Attorney. Then some one volun-
teers or Is selected to report the
murder" on the premises, Of a
mutual friend Of those present,
or at least someone who Il known
to them. The murder" has sup
posedly Just been discovered.
Immediately the person who
has been selected to Ne the Dis
trict Attorney orders all to be
seated and begins his investiga-
ton by questioning first the per-
son who reported the murder"
and then all the others who are
implicated by any Of the testi-
mony. Everything a witness
says must be accepted as fact and
cannot be contradicted either by
himself or by a subsequent wit
ness. There cannot be any eye
witness TO the murder"
The object is to build a chain
Of circumstantial evidence around
one Of the party so strong that
a clear case of guilt is estab-
lished. AS each person impli-
Gated by the testimony of one of
the witnesses explains away the
evidence as far as possible, or
establishes an abb when oppor-

THAT will be ALL" says the
District Attorney ominOusly, as
he turns upon Mr. Adals.
The evidence Of the witness Is
admitted as fact. 1t is, there
lore obviously up to NIr. Adals
10 explain his way out and as he
does so, involve one or more of
the other guests, including the
witness who implicated him.
Gradually the net Of evidence
tightens around two or three Of
the party, then one, and finally,
that one cannot explain the last
bit OF evidence which links him
or her concluzively with the
crime, and s1 Sits feeling creepy
and guilty, although there has

imagination Of the players

tiors he may ask, but only the

party or else further involve
someone already implicated.
1t is assumed at the start that
the guilty one is among those
present.
The game OF murder" IS
played somewhat in this fashion:
One of the guests dashes into
the living room where the other
members of the party are chat
ting. She seems agitated and
frightened. She rushes up to
the District Attorney. In bro
ken and distraught phrases she
announces that Miss Soands0

immediate investigation. He
turns to the agitated discoverer
Of the "crime," saying:

words just how and when YOU

seriously and with some care,
"Miss Soandso and / were seated
