former deputy State game war
dens. Of Baltimore, who two
month ago shot and fatally

A POOR TIME TO TRAP

It has been reported to us that already men are going out to trapping grounds and setting traps for fur-bearing animals. This is not only foolish thing to do but it is wasteful.
 It is Wasteful because unprine pets bring reward for the labor. We illustrate from fur sale held on the Sound last year: Six unprime mink brought the shipper FIFTY CENTS. Who in the world wants to skin even one mink for f1f- ty cents?

who disbelieve in


 them.
 The truth of the matter is that you can not logically say, 1T am so devoted to American insti- tutions that shall tolerate no criticism of them You can not say it because the right of free dis cusson is in itself the most fundamental of Ameri can institutions The Constitution to which superpatriots are fond of announcing their al legiance carries in itself provisions not only for it's amendment but for it's own complete dissolution The man who believes that no institution is above criticism is himself halfway toward being Bolshe- vist fascist. It is quite consistent for con- nlunist to say that he will not tolerate outside propaganda, because the communist believes in dictatorship and in the suppression of rival theories. It the chief merit of the founders of this country that they believed in the clash of rival opinions and that they had sufficient con- fdence in the wisdom of the average to be- leve that in the long truth would win.
 It is impossible to spend few hours walking through the streets of Moscow without seeing many startling things many impressive things, many magnificent things, and many hateful things. The most hateful things to an American gre the attempt to suppress individuality by mold ing all mankind into common form and the sup pression of liberty by preventing free speech and free assembly and free criticism of the basis of the communist system. It is Russia's chief weakness that she can not stand criticism; that she not afford to allow the of the outer world to get to her people, The conception which the average Russian has of the rest of the world is wilder than the conception which we have of what is going in Russia. If in order to fight Russia we must initiate her principle vices and her chief weakness then victory will have been purchased at too high price.
 My own belief is
 First. That we can afford to meet Russian ir sttutions and Russian theories on the equal basis of fair discussion and competition.
 Second That our own institutions and our own economic and social theories will in this way prove themselves superior sstheirs

THERE IS A LAW


 Every in while we hear the mournful plaint: There should be law" to cover some particular immediate fancied need.
 There are myriads Of laws So many that even the lawyers cannot keep track of them and more are being ground in the legal grist mills each year. And about 11inety-nine per cent of them have been termed legal trash.'
 We bring to mind enc law, law that is just as real, just as fair and just today when it was first uttered: Do unto others as you would they should do unto you"
 There has been no law propounded in the past ages that is more human than this law If more people followed it, there would be less reason for cluttering up the law books. Greedy exploitation would be eliminated the bread lines, the worries and the cares of large metropolitan centres would be eliminated. And naturally similar problems Of the rural districts would become less
 DO unto others you would they should do unto you"
 Today the Alaskan official must ask: "If I were as many of the Indians are;' If I were as many of the Morales are;" "If were as most Of the fishermen are, what would want done"?
 Remembering that the old Indian law was not different from the Mosaic-"An eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth'
 We cannot understand the psychology of the person, political whatnot who sla9s lis constitu- ency with unjustly discriminatory laws, yet poets that constituency to come right back with the votes to put the discrminator back in office.
 This little rule is made to work both ways It is not made to be forgotten by ten per cent of the people and observed by the balance We wish to call the attention Of our Federal office holders, of the Territorial office holders of the elective office holders to this little rule of conduct. And we at the same time serve notice that We expect those who govern to use this rule.
