Goeducking We Will Go.
(Port Angeles Evening News)

Taxes school eeclolI, soldiers bonus and the new street flusher have been showed into the shadows to make for a burning issue on the Olympic Pennsula-the salvation of the zoe duck centaur of the tideflats
 One-thrd clam, one-third duck and third miscellaneous antecedents the goeduck is making last stand in the she-srewn sands and mudflats of the last, best West
 The State Legislature has taken up a cudge for the surviving goeducks. They must not be hunted with hounds. Shotguns and rifles cannot be used Why alive the tdeflat centaur is getting more protection than the fur seal
 There is legend that the town of Sequim received its through the goeduck-the name "Squm' being the sound made by the male goeduck as he cooed to his mate during the low tide on the beach Washington Harbor. Those were reached by thousands of motorists who have hunted and captured the goeducks to the point of extinction.
 The News sympathzes with the goeduck, and yet believes that the hungry Puget Saunders should at least be permitted to hunt the goeducks with lassoes, or by the old Spanish custom used in snipe shooting-getting tenderfoot to hold a lantern and an empty sack, into which the goeduck would wander.
 The goeduck legislation is burning issue-and as it is out of the way legislation will be sought to exterminate ice worms Olympic Pen insula glaciers Driven from Alaska by the glacier bugs the ice worms have made their home in the Olympic highlands. Olympians seek legislation for their destruction by salt spray.
 After that foolishness is over, the Legislators will return home and pay the rent.

THE LENTEN SEASON.

The Lenten season has passed its halfway mark. To many people this is the time of heartfelt atone ment Its thought is vital to the essence of holi- ness to those who realize and enjoy it's spiritual cancellations and rewards It is the antithesis of the vanity in which most lives enveloped It teaches restriction renunciation and sacrifice. It precedes and assumes to make Christian men and women ready for the Eastertide. The thought of Easter is welded with the thought of vernal days, with the resurrection of life throughout the earth.
 Our old Anglo-Saxon forbears worshipped Ostara, Goddess of the Spring The early church taught them the truth that lay back of the pagan ritual it's higher spiritual significance.
 For forty days, up to the Saturday preceding Easter we observe the Lenten season if we are affiliated with certain great religious denomina-
 ons feel something of it's sacrosanct charm whether we belong to these not. As see men and women obeying it's objective discipline we are re- minded of Christs forty days of fast in the bleak wilderness.
 It is the season set apart for self-denial We give up for space of the things some of the pleasures of the world which enjoy. We do it as a tribute of faith, as act of slight atone ment for long devotions to the things which are not of the spirit. There is fasting and prayer. Many good things wrought through fasting and prayer It is good too for the physical man, the man of affairs or the woman, to give thoughts to habits of selfdenal It makes for health of body and of spirit In health there should be a world of happiness But the Lenten lessons. strike deeper than this. They appeal to the soul, mans higher part
 In this hurryng and materialistic age there may be those who will smile toerantly or indifferenty, upon the rites and practices of the Lenten season, but to mutitudes they will remain an acknowedg- ment of truths and beauty superior to anything we can know in this life

THERE'S WORK FOR A TERRITORIAL
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The question of whether the Territorial Chamber of Commerce, which was organized two years ago, shall be continued and rejuvenated has been sub mitted to the several individual commercial organi- zations in the different communities in Alaska Des pte almost insuperable handcaps the most serious of which was the failure of a majority of the Chambers to affiliate after their representatives had agreed upon plan of procedure, the central body has funetioned to a certain extent in the two that have elapsed since it's inauguration This largely because it's Secretary NJ S. Whittier gave without charge his personal services to the performance of of the duties imposed on him when it thought the organization would be perfected Whether not the all-Alaska Chamber is allowed to die is revived, to him is owed a debt of gratitude for faith in the movement and his own untiring effort to keep it alive.
 On all sides there is a general admission of the need for such an organization. There is vast field here for it to cultivate, one which should and undoubtedly will yield rich returns to the entire Territory fl it is tiled There is only means of creating and sustaining it. and that is through the united efforts and contributions of the indi- vdual Chambers It will cost some money, but not very large sum if the undertaking is limited at the outset to modest program. A part-time Secretary to handle the office end and correlate the activities of the member bodies can be en- ployed at a reasonable cost Backed by loose knit skeleton organization. this officer coulc take care of most of the important demands True it would be better for all concerned to have full-time man on a liberal salary and expense ac- count. But this come later after the expert ment has been tried out and it's success established We hope that the several towns can agree upon plan that will make this possible and that th Territorial Chamber will be put firmly on it's fee before the present session of the Legislature end its work.

America Seen from Abroad.
Cincinnati Ennuirer. )

One of the most curious results of business de- pres5ion in the United States is its stimulus of British confidence in their own social and economic system For decade at least the British have be- come accustomed to r gard Americans possessing an economic magic wh oh produced wealth without limit and precluded the dangers of poverty suf- fering This bred a dscontent with the historic system of Great Britain emphasized by the gradual decline of British trade and transfer of the worlds financial capital from London to New York.
 Just the English hearing and reading accounts of Americas difficulties in their press and from returning visitors. Some of their information is faulty most of it exaggerated but the essential point is present-that the United States, like any other industrial country, has not yet learned to manage it's economic system without frequent mal- adjustments
 Thus it is that transatlantic cousins are developing confidence in their own political and economic system. Meantime America is fumbling tentatively with social insurance and governmental devices to stimulate foreign trade, which, if the cards have geen read aright be held responsible in considerable measure for Britans plight

BIG ROBBERY
 OF JEWELRy
 IS REPORTED
One Million Dollars Worth Stolen - Manager of
 Store Kidnapped

PALM BEACH, Florida. March 14.-The police are without cleW to the robbery of approximately s1 ,00o,O00 worth of diamonds and pearls from the local branch of the Charlton Company, New York jewellers.
 Neither Otto Wegener, Manager; D. H. Odom, night watchman, tor J. Schuler, another employee, can give any clews.
 Manager Wegener said four men kidnapped him and forced him to deliver the keys of the store and combination of the safe.
 The robbers apparently entered he store between T and 8 o'clock this morning when no watchman was on duty as Odom left at T o'clock and the day watchman does not report until o'clock.
 Wegener said the men took him to a vacant house in West Palm Beach, tied and gagged him. He said it took 40 minutes for him to loosen himself.
 Three employees were released after questioning.
 c. A. Peacock, member of the firm, said Wegener has been m the employ of the company for 20 years and is highly trusted.

ing influence the markets dulls initiative and holds buying of all kinds in check. Remove this. and business begins to pick up, see hopefulness in the outlook, and gradually lay it's plans for 3 cautious expansion
 The business recovery itself has proceeded un- evenly, as was to be expected at this stage, but nevertheless encouragingly Some upturn, of course, is inevitable at this and has to be allowed for in judging the trend, and it is not yet clear that the gain in production has been of more than seasonal proportions. Some of the various indexes that computed currently to show business after allowance for the seasonal factor, showed further slight decline in January, while others advanced. One does not expect complete agreement in these indexes, since they computed independently and usually include different commodities but the fact that for the first time in many months there was good representation of gains suggests thats the general decline has at least been checked, which is the first step towards recovery.

Not that they expecting an early or easy recovery to normal but simply that they have the worst Once people come to this conclusion they do not need the promise of rapid recovery to enable them to pluck up courage It is the parayzing uncertainty of not knowing how severe the losses are likely to be that a chill
