LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
 From Seattle Star

"If' asks Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, our government cannot adjust itself to new con ditions, meet new needs, how can it hope to sur vive?"
 The governor comments on the extraordinary new times in which we are living
 Like the rest of us, he is astonshed that mli- lions should suffer in country with too much food, too much money, too many luxuries
 He is astonished too that the government does nothing to change this damnable state ol affairs
 Jefferson, years ago, saw the same necessity for the ability of government to adjust itself to changing times.
 He thought revolution every few years would be a good thing. eff he thought that today, he would land inprison)
 But there is no reason why we cannot have peaceful revolution of thought.
 We must stop imagining that the presence ot six million jobless men and women and their chi:- dren, in great rich nation, is normal"
 We must stop wagging our heads about 1t 1ying out palliatives for it.
 We have got to DO something about it!
 Our American government is going to survive but the machinery must be brought up to date and back of the machinery must be new concer- ton of the duties of government
 Theodore Roosevelt said that this will never be good place for of us to live until it's good place for all of us to live

Forget t-Me-Not''

Many citizens were wearing light blue for-get-me-nots, solo by unemployed women of Seattle for the relief of disabled veter- ans. The vendors got 10 per cent of the money taken in. Dimes were put to work in two direc- tions- -succor to the disabled and the needy. Many a case of urgent need among the men who answered their country call, has never received the care attention for his services.

Passing of an Indian
 Chief

Goes-in- Lodge, an Arapahoe medicine man" who took part in the battle of Little Big Horn where Busters force was wiped out in 1876, died last week at ths age of 80 years. He had partici- pated the week before in the an- Eual sun dance ceremonies of his tribe.
 How utterly-and how recently the Indian has disappeared from the forces which effect our lives! He was one of the dom. mating factors of American ex- istence for centuries; but today though there is probably mor.3 Indian blood in the United States than there was when G. lumbus landed, he goes unreck- oned.
 In his original state, he was not in all respects an amiable creature; but he was farther still from being a weak one. He was the most formidable primitive fighter the world has ever known. He has whipped white frontiersmen and white regulars with inferior numbers again and again-a1fd he is the only dark skinned man of his grade of cul- ture who ever did it.
 When the circumstances and objectives of the red warriors arc taken into account, more than one Indian campaign is a mili- tary masterpiece.

 One baby may reach one stage faster than others, but despite claims of mothers-and fathers the study has indicated that no baby can skip any of them.
 Dr. Mary M. Shirley, a direct or of the research, has concluded that the order of development is as immutable as the course of Jupitor or Pluto. A chronic al table showing the times for the first smile, the initial ex- pression of a desire to toddle and the original impulse to swallow pin is one result of the study.
 At six days of age the table shows that the average baby first follows light, two weeks later it will watch a person in the room with it.
 At fourteen weeks it reaches for and touches objects and sev- en weeks later it first enjoys the thrill of putting objects in its mouth. The grand moment when it can play with it's toes comes when it is twenty-five weeks old.
 When the median baby is be- tween thirty and thirty-one weeks of age it can sit alone for a full minute. At forty-f1ve weeks it walks when led and al-, so creeepS. Two weeks later it can pull itself up and stand with support.

They Also SerUed

Immediately upon declaration of war by the United States, IT Alaska Indian students at Che maWa Indina School, Salem, Oregon, enlisted in the Unite,l States Army and Navy. In this group were Frank Peratrovitch
 KlaWock, William Walters, Rake Thomas Phillips, Angoon, Billy Cook of Angoon later enlisted and saw service in the front trenches. Thomas Phillips was the last Alaskan to receive his discharge, having served the duration of the war and also las a member of the American Army of Occupation on the Rhine. Phillips brought back with him a German war-bride and lived for a time in Alaska but has since moved to Seattle.
 After the first draft, all Alas ka Indians were declared exempt from the draft and their regis tration revoked This did not please them, so they took the matter up with General Crow ther, who later ordered them to register with their registration boards. Shorty afterwards, they were ordered to report to Ft. William H. Seward, HaineS.

Imore Evening Sun winds up an editorial in this way:
 Dungeons and leg-irons; q plank for a bed in cell without light; bread and water for di ct; the rule of silence; the lash {; the lockstep and the drive crew in the prison yard-things that break bull-necked plug ugIies and convert them from gOrillas into twitching, shivering terror stricken rats; these things we have applied to children-to more than 2,OOO children"
 What kind of citizens are these boys likely to make when liberated from the brutal treat ment they have received while ;ncarcerated in a modern bas- tile? Trained for years in hot he'd of cruelty, they will never forget or forgive; discouraged. angry, self respect lost, what else but a career of crime looms up for many of these unfortun- ates?

 We pride ourseves on being the most civilized and Christian ized nation on the face of the earth, but the Seventh Report of the Wickersham Commission shows clearly that those who have stumbled and fallen over the intricate network of laws with which their feet are fetter- ed, we can be as cruel and bar barous as any savages ever were.
 Our prisons are proved by the Wickersham Seventh Report to be hothouses for the breeding ard culture of criminals; and we, seIf-righteOus worshiprers .f numerous absurd laws, pay f3- it by an abnormal increase of crime.

our everlasting obligation to those who offered their all jn 1918 in order that democracy might not perish from the earth and we pause a moment in re- spect to the memory Of our BuddieS who sleep the long sleep heath the poppies in Elan Gers fields.
 But the Legion lives on and keeps faith with those who still pay and pay in hospitals or who must struggle through existence maimed and disabled. And the Legion fights on, for the war of right against might did not end on Armistice Day when the canon ceased to roar.
 And so it has been good for us as a people to pledge anew our alegiance and to gain a ne2" conception of the meaning of SERVICE and LOYALTY.
 Buddies of the American Le- zion, we salute you! shoulder i to shoulder we address ourselves to. the tasks of 1881. May the fair name of cur organization never be sullied by those Whn have not their country's welfare truly at heart; or by any whl bring our flag into disrepute by disregard of the laws of the lan1 Ger which it waves; or by those who may seek to use it to fur ther some scheme for personal pIeferment or self-aggrandize ,ment.

INTROSPECTION

Another convention of the American Legion, Department of Alaska has passed into his tory at Petersburg this after noon.
 The work of the convention is noted elsewhere in our columns. The future will determine the WorthWhileneSS of each effort
 Legionaires and their ladies from every Post in the Territory have been guests of Petersburg Post No. 14 and of the people Of Petersburg this week.
 Many a heartache has gone up from the BuddieS who found it impossible to attend this con- vention, but in Petersburg all has been smiles, reunion and fraternal good fellowship. Many a handclasp of sincere greeting of Buddy to Buddy as old friend ships have been renewed. But underneath the surface, under heath the hilarity and rollick- ing camaraderie, the convention las had a deeper significance which has brought home to us all as we have listened again to the stirring martial strains which became popular in 1918 when we sang "Over There, <" We're Goinf Over" recalling to US those busy days oi preparation when every man did his bit and the nervous days in training camps, when we were assured that man-poWer would win the war And then, those later days, serious days when the Dough-boys strove to keep up their spirits with such lifting songs as "Tipperary," and the frivolous 'Hinky Dinky Par ley Voo." What memories they recall! But the one that really gets us to us all:

 Tn her report on the treatment of juveniles in prisons or so-call- ed reform schools this lady states that out of 2,243 children, all under IS years of age, that came under her observation, 900 were imprisoned for violation of the prohibition law, thus dis proving the assertion of ultra drys that our young people are not addicted to the use of alco- holic liquors.
 Mrs. VanWaters points out that in the Washington State . Reformatory punishmentin dark cells is given for trivial ofenses. such as not standing at count. speaking in diningroom, laugh ing in cell block, making noises with the mouth and similar trl fling breaches of discipline, such as the possession of a 2-cent stamp, kicking a refuse can, O., stealing eggs from the kitchen For these and like offenses boy are punished by being locked up in the guardhouse for several days.
