 'But men of every mould have wrought with equal bravery in this transformation of the wild beauty of the Ohio river into the not less beau- tiful but more tractable stream of today. The engineers found the prac- tical means, but many others con- tributed to the vision, courage and persistence needful to this accom- | plishmcnt.

FIRST WARD MAKING DEMAND FOR MORE POLICE PROTECTION

NAlR, SCHEUY TO CONFER
 WITH HART AND BANNAN

Effort Will Be Made to Shorten

 Workers in Columbia Street To-
 cality.
 Following complaints by resi- dents in the district of Columbia street that their locality is not ade- quately poiced and that this con- dition has been responsible for the activities of key-workers and bur glars, Alderman David L. Nair and Councilman William s. Scheuy to- day made plans to confer with Chairman Michael W. Bannan of the police commission and Chief William C. Hart in an effort to bring about more thorough policing.
 The council members say they have received many calls from con- stituents who are positive in their declaration that more regular rounds by patrolmen would put an end to house breaking in their neighborhood, and their protests have taken the form of demand for more policemen.
 Long Beats Blamed
 Of the several unsolved burglar ics which have been placed on the police blOtter in the past few weeks, practically all have come from the locality bounding Columbia street. Some of the residents have made personal inquiry before consulting their common council represent atiVes and have fixed the blame on the length of the beats which must be covered by officers detailed to their end of the town, a condition making it impossible for the min ions of the law to pass their dwell ings often enough to discourage burglaries.
 Alderman Nair and Councilman Scheuy have not made personal in Nestlgation but are planning to con- fer with the police officials and bring directly to them the com plaints they have received, and also learn whether the district is policed as well as other localities. It is ex- pected the conference will be held this afternoon.

LABOR ORGANIZER HITS NEW BRITAIN

William Larkin Of Bridgeport Declares Conditions Here Are
 Worst in State
SAYS FACTORY OWNERS

 if They Joined Union Group.
 Standing before the largest gath cring which ever atteneded an open meeting of the Central Labor Union in this city, last night, William Lar kin of Bridgeport, organizer of the knew of no other city where condi- tions are less attractive than in the city of New Britain.
 He said conditions were deplorabIc here where the old 10 hour day is still in effect to q great extent. Mr. Larkin said he was at q loss 10 ex- plain the reason for this situation , unless it was because the factory employers were not progressive enough to keep dp with the times.
 Never did he think he would live long enough 10 see again the old 10-hour working plan in effect. Mr. Larkin said, and he urged tho men gathered at the meeting to use their influence to organize the metal workers in the factories into unions He referred to the machnists, tool makers, polishers, and other factory employees.
 There never was a time when there is greater need of the skilled machinist and tool maker and the manufacturers realize this fact, Mr. Larkin said
 Penalty of Growing old
 Another broadside was shot in the direction of manufacturers when Mir. Larkin denounced the system said to be in effect in the factories relative to old age.
 That system which tells a man after he gets to be 40, 45 or 50 years of age that he cant work any more is a mcnace," he said. He urged the members to try and | find a solution for this problem and not to take the attitude that be- cause it may not affect them, it | should be ignored. Mr. Larkin said this was a country of opportunity and liberty and that when the manufacturers take q stand unfayor- able to their older help it is hor- rible. He told the members they were growing old and were being pcnalizod for it.

Indian past the most elementary stage. He found that the edu- cated Indian was not so tract able or servile as the ignorant one, and he was not able to con- tinue autocratic control over the boys and girls who went away to school. It is a fact that With very few exceptions, the Indians of MetIakatla who have any de- gree of education, received it at the old Sitka Training School maintained by the Presbyterian Church, and much against the wishes of William Duncan.
 There are 4,500 Indians in Southeastern Alaska not con- .nected in any way with the is- land of Metlakatla, speaking another tongue, with 3 heritage of different customs and ideals They do not wish the school es- tablished on that island and their wishes are certainly entitl- ed to more consideration than are Edward Morrissey's. If the school is to be a memorial to anybody, We respectfully urge the merits of many good and faithful teachers of the years gone by who did not amass Q fortune in the process.

DESIRABLE LOCATION

Did we chose the site for the Industrial school we would To- cate it not in, but near a town with a clean environment and a minimum of contact with those associations and do not ad- vance those people; com munlty that is fair and kindly in it's dealings with more thot of good for those people than the financial benefit to the town. Not in the woods forty or fifty miles from line of travel nor in or near a community whose lan- gUage is other than English. We are opposed to continuation and perpetuation of the Thlin- get, Haida, Psimpshean or any other language as un-American and retarding the more rapid assimilation into the body poli- tic or absorption of nations within the nation.

GOMORRAH

The Hebrew had his S0dOm and it's Gomorrah; Alaska has it's Ketchikan. 4 resident of that notorious city recently said that it was the toughest, rotten est city of it's size he had ever been in. The average Alaskan who has spent any time in that city never deny such an asser- tion. The gamut of crime is run daily and with indifferent toler- ance by the powers that be.
 Into this mess of illicit liquor, dope, immortality, Eddie Morris sey would have Indian children and their parents and relatives travelling-for the little they would spend in that city.
 More Indian boys are going hell bent for perdltiOn; more In dian girls are peddling their physical charms in Ketchikan than any other town in Alaska. More Indian girls use "hop" in the First City than elsewhere and nowhere is it easier to get. The section of that town where the Indians live and where new corners head for, is the center of the restricted district.
 Into this environment does the former judge AForrissey wish the Indians to go. That they may go to hell quicker.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

Last winter were promulgated regulations prohibiting opera

 fish So it must go. Later he modified the ruling by permit ting the single "hammer-head" type to be operated.
 It is now reported that the Sunny Point canneries are using the "hammer-head" trap and it is the only cannery in South eastern Alaska doing so.
 It is further reported that MT. O'Malley has investment in the same companies. Therefore the

INVESTIGATIONS

Every year the Bureau of Fish cries conducts investigations. So 10 other departments, for that matter. But Alaskans are in terested in their fisheries. The manner of conductils these i'll vestigations reminds Us of the following story:
 A certain customs deputy, in the early days of Alaska when sale of any liquor was illegal, went to certain house. The madame of the house responded to his knock, Whereupon he pull ed a notebook from his pocket and said: "You are Mrs. So-and- So. It is reported that you are selling illicit. Let's see, this is this is Monday; on Friday, I am coming to investigate"
 Strange to say, when he made his search there was not a drop of liquor on the premises.
 When the Bureau of Fisheries investigates" charges of illegal operations by canner or trap owner the operator usually has ample opportunity to clear the the decks and thereby refute the charges. Strange! Isn't it that those fellows always know of "investigations?"

THE EXAMPLE OF COLBY.
 KANSAS

In the little town of Colby, Kansas, there are no city taxes.
 The city owns and operates it's own light and power plant and it's water system. Rates are low, service is excellent and the nlants' profits pay the taxes.
 This year the water rate is to be reduced.
 Colby's experience is just another answer to the rower trusts cry that it can't be done!" Colby's doing it-and so can any other town that makes I'D it's mind to do it.
 There is no more reason why town shouldn't furnish power to it's citizens than it shouldn't furnish them with bridges, streets and a police force. The idea that it's all right for a city to run a non-proflt making bridge, but horribly immoral for it to run 3 profitable power plant is out of date.-Seattle Star.

LOCATION OF INDUSTRIAL.
 SCHOOL FOR NATIVES

Dr. William Cooper, United States Commissioner of Educa- tion, is in Alaska with the pur- pose of selecting a site in south eastern Alaska for an industrial school for natives. This will serve the needs of about 5000 natives all but 500 of whom be- long to the Thlinget and Haida Tribes.
 We note that the various Commercial Clubs are appoint ing committees to wait upon Dr. Cooper to urge the merits of their respective communities as 9 site. This is all well and good, but the primary consideration in choosing the site should not be the desire of a community that it's town be selected, but which community shall best serve the needs of the natives for whom the school is being built.
 MT. Morrissey of the Ketchi- kan Chronicle urges the choice of a site near Ketchikan, and particularly the town of Metla- katla and suggests further that the school could we'll be a mem Orial to William Duncan. With out decrying in any way Father Duncan's work among the Met lakatla people, we have this to say. We do not see why the Bu- reau of Education, of all agen- cies, should erect memorial to Father Duncan. No one in south eastern Alaska was more oppos- ed to the work of the Bureau of Education than Father Duncan was and if he were alive today. he would oppose most strenu- ously the location of this school On Annette Island. The present school there was established by the Bureau over his strong oppo- sition. Father Duncan did not believe in the education of the
