LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

luminous core Of light, with
out substance, whose pure rays
spread throughout the dark
ness.
And now that I had seen it,
I could see nothing else. Turn
the stone as I might, seeing
first it's weak and negative col
oring, then its murky shadows,
always I saw the star shining
Serenely on.
Star sapphire" said the old
man softly.
"But why?" I said, what
makes that star? How did it
come there?"
Nobody knows how it came
there" said the old jewel mer-
chant, with his curious, gentle
smile. But there 1t is"
Often and often, going
through life, working with men
and women, 1 have remem-
bered that hour.
A discouraged busineSs-work-
ing with human nature.
Uncertain material!
Weak where it should be
strong; dark where it should be
bright.
Like something still unfin.
ished-perhaps not worth the
finishing.
For what beauty could come
of this shifty thing with its
nurky depths of selfishness
and stupidity? g..
Why waste time and tears
upon it?
Did I not know the useless
ness of it all, knowing the weak
ness in myself?
So I have Mountaineering
with men and women, feeling
anger rising in me, and disgust.
Feeling profound discourage
ment. Vowing I was through
with the whole Shoddy mess Of
them!
And then, suddenly, I would
see!
Deep in the heart OF them
Cleaning through the murk
of them
There would shine a star!
No mere trick Of personality;
no clever ruSe Of acting that
could, by ones imagination, be
made to seem a star
But light itself
Starlight of the soul
Spreading its pure and peace
full rays through the sad dark
ness.
y Where did it come fromP OF
what was it made? No one
has ever found an answer to
that mystery. Only an old
boo1 says
"AND THE LORD GOD
FORMED MAN OF THE DUST
OF THE ROUND AND
BREATHED INTO HIS NOS
TRILS THE BREATH OF
LIFE: AND MAN BECAME A
LIVING SOUL"
Within the dust a soul
Within the stone a star.
Often, when I have grown
discouraged with human be-
ings, desperate with myself
have come upon that star. And
finding it, could, for a little
while, see nothing else. And
felt my own heart flooded with
new Joy and hope.

Prosperity Loan
To Save Human Life

By the same token the
complaint that the La Fol
lette plan for the floating Of
a $5,500,000,000 prosperity
loan is something abnormal
' is not impressive. The taxes
we must now pay are not
normal-because times are
abnormal. And with more
than 100000 breadwinners
denied the right to work, we
have an abnormal condition
in which the lives and the
health and future Of from
30 to &c million men, women
and children are involved.
When we waged war we
floated loans to the tune of
$25, 100000 0,00O-to carry on
the noble work of destruc-
ton; we can now float a
S., 500, 100000 loan to save
human life and restore the
purchasing power of thu
people, if we will.
Especially since it is not
the intention to float this
entire amount at one time. It
is said that there are now
$28,OOO,O 100000 in the say.
ings banks Of the country !;
and $500,OO0,00O in postal
savings; and, according to
the President, 81, 100000
in hiding. There are millions
more in thrift accounts in
banks paying dividends of
not more than three per
cent. The money necessary
to put the idle men to work
is available and will be
forthcoming II the call Is
made.
A civilized society can af-
ford to raise one-fifth as
much to save the lives and
maintain the morale Of mil

omic and industrial stupidi-
ties Of leaders, as it spent on
the work of killing, main,

were employed outside their
homes whether they would be
willing to tell their husbands
how they spent every cent or
what they have lost themselves
on wagerS.
It is pretty discouraging to
a wife who economies in every
way to know that her husband
takes gambling chances with
his salary.
It isn't giving the family a
square deal for a man to make
wagers that would cut some
thing out of the family in
come for necessities if he loses.
But it won't help him break
his habit to insist he report his
losses.
Wives, don't tempt your hus-
band to lie.

False Propaganda
Is Not Necessary

It would be necessary, per
haps, to put on the same
kind of drives to save hui
man life as we had to put
on to get the money to take
human life. Propaganda, no
doubt, would be necessary
to some extent; but there
would not have to be any
such propaganda of reek-
ing falsehood as that to
which we resorted in rails
ing the money to destroy.
We have no propaganda
now in the interest of the
suffering and the starving :;
instead we have a propa-
ganda of misrepresentation
against them, along with
the suppression of facts. In
Cne beginning, When the ell
tire fabric of finance and
business was shaking, there
was justification for the
note of optimism; for the
whole black truth in those
last days of 1929 would have
deepened the tragedy. That
danger is past. There is
no longer any justification
for hiding the misery Of the
people. Propaganda now to
float loans to put men to
work, to put money IN cir
culation, to save human lifef
The truth would serve.

Temptation to Lie

Temptation TO Lie
While wives have a right to
question their husbands in re-
gard to their winnings and
losses in little games Of draw
or any game Of chance in
which they may indulge, it is
more than likely to precipitate
a quarrel.
No man likes to be quizzed
on matters of this kind.
Yes, he may lose money he
can't afford to lose.
He may make winnings that
he should give in whole or in
part to his wife-Some do, but
many don't.
But irrespective Of what he
wins or loses he doesn't want
to have to make a report to
his wife every time he plays in
a chance game.

Bear Census To Be Taken

It Is worthy of note that the United States Forest Service .and the Alaska Game Commission, act ing jointly, this summer will under take to make a census of the brown bear on Admiralty Island. It should be complete by next fall, and the figures obtained ought to set at rest the minds of those conserva- tionists who are genuinely concern ed about the present status of the great, animals.
 In conclusion, Ter me assure you that the people of Alaska are not anti-brown bear. They fully recog- nize it as a very valuable asset, one that attracts many big game hunters and brings thousands of dollars into normal channels of trade that otherwise would never see Alaska. They will not willingly see it destroyed. They realize it has a place here economically as well as scientifically.
 Support Government Policy
 This is evidenced by the fact that they have supported the Federal governments sanctuary policy that has given already to the brown bear areas aggregating 1868 square miles, or 8 per cent of the total range, of absolute sanctuary, not including Mt McKinely National Park, and some fl 000 square miles of extremely limited hunting area. Is it cause for wonderment, in view Of all these circumstances, that Alaskans view with distrust the motives Of those collecting large sums of money for radio broadcasts, personal lectures, widespread publicity campaign, the organization of new conservation association wits .-zii Street head quarters, just to add another l. 600 square miles of Alaska's hold ings Fto that already locked up to development.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-06-18

in 1881, at 30 East 40th Street, MT. William N Beach, 551 Fifth Av- enue, and a member of the Fx- plorer's Club, are two who are thoroughly conversant with the Alaska bear situation.
 The Senate Committee on Con- servation of Wild Life Resources, through Senator Walcott has sug- gested creation of a national park out of the present Glacier Bay National Monument. Here are real natural phenomena, such as the galaxy of great glaciers-Muir Spencer, Wright and others; lofty Mt. Fairweather that crowns the range of the same name; virgin Sitka spruce forests, good harbors for ingresS, a land almost unex- plored.
 Many Kinds of Wild Life
 In it are many brown bears, possibly as many as can be found on Admiralty Island, and other species of wild life, mountain goats for instance, that do not occur on Admiralty. Alaskans have endorsed this proposal.
 The proposed park area is sep arated from Admiralty and Chi chagof islands by narrow salt water straits and is from but a few miles distant to not more than 30. From every angle of conser- vation of wild life and and pre- servation of natural pheomena, it is infinitely more to be preferred than the Admiralty Island pro- feet. And it does not have the drawback of preventing economic development of commercially val uable resources. It wold not impede mining or salmon canning, nor other pursuits which can and are being followed on Admiralty Is- land at present. And it can be truthfully said
 Ut would not cost a cent to make it a sanctuary for it is Gov ernment property and now brings in no revenue" :"

The actual number of unemployed
in the world is undoubtedly not less
than $4,000, 000--besides the count
less millions of part-tine workers
existing on hunger wages. The Labor
office of the inperialist League OF
Nations belittles the actual figures
on unemployment as an aid to the
capitalist governments and the inter
national bankers, who hold govern

against the unemployed masses.

aid their warmongering governments
