MAIL CHRISTMAS PRESENTS EARLY

For residents of Alaska, the admontion, DO Your Christmas Shopping Early has special sig nificance Those intending to send gifts to relatives or friends in the States should give thought now to purchasing and mailing the presents.
 If the posting of parcels is delayed so long that expeditions transportation and delivery are essential to getting them to destination before Christmas they risk the chance of not being re- ceived until after the holiday
 This year in previous years facilities of the postal service will be taxed by Yuletide mail With additional help, always, every effort will be exerted to give timely distribution but this cannot be effected in all instances if too great proportion of the public failing in cooperation burdens the mails with last-minute gifts
 Presents received before Christmas evidence more thoughtfulness the part of the sender and afford more pleasure the recipient than presents received afterwards.
 The surprise element, which is no small part of the delight imparted by Yuletide packages, is not impaired but rather enhanced by their early arrival when they are not to be opened until Christmas.
 Gifts destined for the States cannot be mailed too early now

 Exactly what price is the Japanese people will its leaders have led it? The question is raised in Ia drastic form by the gigantic deficit in the pre- lminary figures, issued, of next years Budget. Out of total estimated revenue of about ESQ., 900 the army and navy demanding appropria- tions of f100000,000. This is to provide for Ire placements in Manchuria, but aso according to recent reports, for a program of naval building, including five air bases to be completed in 1886 at a cost of f46,O0O,0O0. MT. Takahashi, the Finance Minister, is therefore asked to meet de- ficit for next year alone of something like f78000 900. This in itself would be thankless task enough. But his previous expedient of imitation and to MT. Takahashi The army junto, led by the strong man." General Araki is pressing him to turn elsewhere to increase the income tax and the inheritance duties This is perfectly in keeping with the semi Fascist social theory of the army. But to MT. Takahash, a leader of the Seiyukai and the conservative land-owining classes, the ad- vice can hardly be palatable That Cabinet crisis
 is said to be impending is not surprising. What would be surprising would be for the crisis to end
 in any way which involved the slightly military economy. Japans economic outlook is desperate. Distress is acute her farmers are laden with debt there have been heavy falls in the value of her staple products. Yet, with it all, national senti- ment is said to be still behind her military leaders and their foreign adventures How long it will be behind them cannot be known. But the full price Iof Manchurian and other glory has not yet been paid. The revulsion must come some time.

 He held his peace till they had reached the drawing room, then gently disengaged himself from her embrace.

 It was as though she'd stuffed a flannel in his mouth. She'c bossed him, yet insisted that hel motives had been generosity. So shrugging his shoulders, he turned away and stared down into the Park.

They use the ubqutous American sense of humor. The more serious among them realize that the depression that caused their defeat was that grew and gath cred momentum when they were in power, that they were unable to avert it recall the vanished prosperity so, like their lately demonetized leader they wish the Democrats well and promise "every possible helpful effort"
 The wise Manchester Guardian, addressing itself to those Republicans who offer alibi said:
 The Republicans will say that they were
 beaten not by the Democrats but by the de-
 pression That excuse will not win them
 much sympathy They were helped to spen-
 did victories, in two successive elections,
 by prosperity which they had done little
 to create. They cannot now complain If
 they have been doomed to defeat by
 depression which they did little to avert.

Origin of American Indians.
Seattle Times.)

The real secret of the American Indians origin may be held by distant, desolate Kodiak Island. Dr. Ales Hrdlcka, Curator of Physical Anthropology Of the Smithsonian Institution, recently returned from proracted visit to the North Pacific Island with information supporting a belief that it once was teeming population center and may have furnished the men and women who migrated to and peopled the New World continents If people existed there in any such numbers as he assumes, climatic conditions in prehistoric times must have been much more equabls than at present
 The mystery of the red mans origin some day probably will be solved. The disposition now is to assume his forefathers were Asatics; in time re- search may establish that both the Eastern Asiatic and the North American Indian peoples sprang from a common stock migrating from another point or earths surface, now perhaps under the ocean or like Kodiak, desolated by changing climatic condi- tons.

CORNER STONE

The great care with which some postmasters
read the postal laws and regulations may be
illustrated by the story of the inspector who
toward the close Of very hot day inspected
the post office In Southern town. Finding
numerous small errors and delinquencies he
instructed the postmaster in rather forceful
language to read and study the postal laws and
regulations.
After supper the inspector retired to his room
which, like all the other rooms in that one
story hotel, opened onto a gallery or porch
extending along the entire front of the building.
During the night he was aroused in time to
see some one with a long pole lift his trousers
from the chair near the open window and dis
appear with them and practically all of his
money. Not being suitably clothed to follow
the thief farther the inspector limited his pur-
suit to the end of the porch.
Next day he sent the postmaster at intervals
an order to come at once and bring a pair of
trousers Of proper size to fit the inspector.
About pm. the postmaster finally appeared
with copy OF the postal laws and regulations
under his arm, and he explained to the In
spector that he had taken to heart his instruc-
lions of the day-before and had been studying
the postal laws and regulations all day, but he
had failed to find any law or regulation re-
curing the postmaster to furnish trousers to
an inspector.

and postmasters' compensation from s715,481
to $4,000 900.
During the same century of national growth
and development many postal facilities now in
common use have been added which not only
serve the needs of the individual but have aided
and stimulated the growth of industries
and utilities. In 1888 steam railroads were
first declared post roads and were authorized
by law to carry the mail and the railway post
office service was established in 1862. The use
Of postage stamps in this country first began
in 1847, six years later the first stamped en-
velopes were issued by the Post Office Depart
ment and in 1873 postal cards were furnished.
Provision was made in 1855 for the registry
service and in 1864 for the money-order servise.
City delivery was inaugurated in 1868, special
delivery in 1885, rural delivery In 1896 and
village delivery in 1912. The establishment of
the postal-savings system occurred in 1911 and
the parcel post with its attendant insurance
and COLLECTION delivery features in 1918. The
latest important facility added to the postal
service is the airmail inaugurated in 1918.
THE new volume embraces the laws and
] regulations covering all Of these services
and only by careful attention to their
quirements can efficient service be maintained.
