the Bootleggers Paradise" We quote from
the editorial: "Rum-runners, gunner,
thugs and all the parasites who thrive IN
the miasma of the underworld of the
Pacific Coast are fostered by the policy
now in force"
The Vancouver Sun. of October 3, 1927,
declared, THE open operation of bootleg
ging joints in this city is disgrace TO
Vancouver There are bootleggers here
so confident that they will deliver liquor to
an unfamiliar address on telephone Or
der from an unknown person"
The latest report of the Liquor Board of
Ontario says, There is still far more
bootlegging on a small scale than there
was in 1915
DRUNKENNESS INCREASES
The situation as regards drunkenness in
the whole province is indicated by the
latest figures from the Dominion Board
of Statistics. This report shows that
drunkenness is increasing all over Can
ada, and with the steady increase in the
sale and consumption of liquor crime has
been steadily growing. 1t shows that IN
1919 the per capita consumption OF malt
liquor was 307 gallons and in 1928 was
COZ, of wines in 1919, .101 gallons, in 1928,
.557 gallons.
Crime increases as shown by this same
report are marked. Convictions for both
indictable offenses and summary convic-
tons rise from 152,042 for 1922 TO 266,69l
for 1923.
DRINKING IN THE HOMES
Drinking has peen driven into the homes
of the people. Former Premier of In
tario, E. C. Drury, recently declared, II
fear that here in Ontario we shall see, UNI
der the present system, the debauching of
womanhood. The baroom was bad, vile,
degrading The drinking in the home
strikes deeper into the very vitals of the
nation"
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1929-12-01

The trouble with the Canadian system
of government control is that it does not
control the liquor business.

roam and the process Of educat'

Circular Campus
st. Michael's Mission is an Epls-
copal school and is comparatively
Young when considered with st.
Stephens Mission. 1t was estab-
lished in 1913 when 140 acres OF
land was purchased. During the
year 1917 several buildings
were erected and there have since
been many more. The campus is
laid out in the form of a circle
with a driveway and walk running
around it. This green circle sur
rounded by large trees and neat
buildings was very attractive to us
as we drove up to the school. There
was a little church o. chapel, a
small trading store where besides
the staple groceries there were on
sale a great many articles of bead
ed work; a school house, several
residence units where groups OF
ten girls live and learn to do sew
ing. cooking and housework of all
sorts, a boys dormitory, a COM
munity hall used for recreation and
gatherings of all sorts. At this hall
we were served an excellent din
ner prepared by the shy young In
dian girls under the direction of
the matron. Brief chapel services
were conducted in the little chapel
while we were there. The seats
were hand hewn cottonwood logs
and the arms and backs were made
of poplar or aspen poles with the
bark left on. The most striking
thing about the chapel is the pic
ture back of the altar. There is a
large plate glass window through
which the congregation may look
at the distant Wind River noun
tains, and as n looks one sees
the cross impressively s~ilhouetted
against the beautiful picturet
Morning, noon and night, the pic
ture is different with the changing
light and the atmospheric condi-
tions, Much o might be said

about this school and possibly at
some future date we may be able
to use a very interesting descrip-
ton of the work done here which
was written by Dorothy Quincy
Hastings, wife of the warden.
Grave of Sacajawea
During the afternoon we visited
several other places of interest.
Fort Washable, where the Indian
agency for that reservation is
maintained, the grave of Chief
Washakie, whose memory is rever-
ed by the Indians and respected
by the white men, the grave OF
Sacajawea, who was Lewis and
Clark's guide, in the early part
of the 18th century and several
other points of interest.
The old Fort Washable is a small
log structure, dingy and SCARED
now by the passage of time, but
once a refuge of soldiers from at
lacks of Indians. It is a small
building, and part of it was once
used as a Jail. Holes in the walls,
which could be plugged up with
pieces of wood, permitted the sold
iers a chance to shoot from the
fort when necessary. 1t is sur
rounded by the agency buildings.
Home Made Tombstones
In the little Indian cemetary
where Sacajawea lies there are
buried only two white people. A
simple marble tombstone marks
the grave of Sacajawea and be-
side it is the grave of her son.
Most Of the tombstones or mark
ers are made by the Indians of
poured concrete, with inscriptions
scratched on them before the ce-
ment has hardened. Several of the
graves were surrounded by ratings
made from the sides of a child's
white iron bed. On a number of
the home made headstones we no
ticed the words buried like a
white man., and on one, "He had
a coffin like a white man.. Inquir-
ing about this we learned that
many of the Indians have as their
coffins just plain undecorated pine
boxes, and the relatives of those
who were buried like white men,
wanted the fact known. Many of
Chief Washakie's descendants are
buried in this cemetery, though he
himself lies in a cemetery near the
Fort. Leaving the cemetery we
went on passing the home of John
Roberts, who has been missionary

WOMAN BANKER
SCORES TARIFF
STRIKES BLOW AT HOUSE
WIFE WHO SPENDS BILLION
WEEKLY
BY George r. Author

w d6ll1lSlOAs O0Pks -
as purchasing agents, spend n
billion dollars a week. These are
not my figures. They are the
statistics issued by the United
States bureau of standards. Ger
tainly they should have a word
about how they dispense such
stupendous figures"
Thus spoke Miss Nina Bruere,
president of the association OF
bank women, herself head of the
woman's department of a famous
New York bank. Miss Bruere to-
day became a member of the on
sumer's committee to investigate
living costs.
1.-The proposed tariff is iniquitous
-iniquitous underscored," she an
nounced emphatically. Miss Bru-
ere is a slender woman with white
hair and a commanding voice and
mind. Il thought the Dingley
tariff was scandalous and then
that Observation-Disclosures tariff was
incredible. But in my widest
imagination l should never have
conjured up a bill as dangerous,
as uneconomic, as ignorant as the
proposed Hawley-Smoot tariff"
There was no hedging or uncer-
tainty about Miss Bruere's state
ment Of her viewpoint.
Woman's Problem
This tariff is a woman's prob
lem. The schedules touch the
things they buy weekly with their
billion dollars, for their homes and
their families. Moreover, such in
creases in living costs as this
tariff would cause, were it passed,
will give rise to a d~eplorable state
of mind among the people of aver
age income. When their carefully
invested savings become useless in
the fact of the tremendous in
crease in living costs, they will
feel that nothing is Of any use,
and spend as they earn. This is
not a sound mental state for a
people,
mot only" Miss Bruere con-
tinued, docs the cost Of commodi-
ties rise because of the tariff, but
manufacturers increase the price
Of their goods arbitrarily when
they have the tariff as an excuse"
National in Scope
The consumers committee to
investigate living costs has been
organized by both Republican and
Democratic women in every state
that they may in%telligently point
out to their senators and represen-
tatives the views of women voters.
Mrs. George Orvis, former Re-
publican national committee wo-
man from Vermont, is chairman of
the organizing committee.
Mrs. Daniel O'Day, vice-chair-
man of the New York Democratic
state committee; Miss Helen Va
rick Boswell, vice chairman of the
New York Republican county COM
mittee; Miss Alice Hill Chittenden,
a former president of the women's
national Republican club; Mrs.
Frederick w. Cameron, Jr., of
Albany; Mrs. William F. Carey,
Miss NJ. Frances Hildreth, presi-
dent of the Republican Business
Women, Inc; DR.. Valeria H.
Parker, Miss Ella S%chooley, Mrs.
Travis H. Whitney and Mrs. Stan
ley P. Woodward, president of the
National Motion Picture league,
are among the other members of
the organizing committee.

and who was the one who identi-
fled the body of Sacajawea whom
among the Indians for many years,
he had known for years.
The road led through the sand,
past occasional shacks and little
farms, and finally we saw from
the top of a hill in a little valley
the town of Lander. There were
trees and fine buildings. After the
sand and sage brush which we
had been riding through, it seem
ed like a real oasis rising up to
meet us.

She was sure that no one would

Dave Jordan. And she was pretty
sure he had not seen the diary in
