Mary's Pets
Mary Tydings, our good club
member at Mitchellville, Md,
writes us that her sister, Bea-
trice, celebrated her birthday
anniversary May IA. We are a
little late with our congratula-
tions, but we are offering them
just the same.
We think Mary is the luckiest
little girl. She has so many
pets. There is, first of all, her
pony, Bill. And we know the
club will agree that any little
girl who has a pony is lucky.
Then Mary has a collie, Beauty,
and a cat, King Pin. She says
the latter was named for a race
horse. Someday, we hope, Mary
will send us a picture of Bill,
Beauty and King Pin. We
would love to publish it in the
column.
She tells us that her nephews
and niece, Buster, Johnnie, and
Marie Mack, have a new little
sister, Marion Lucille Mack.
Mary says:
"They are very glad to have
a little sister. And they want
her in the club"
We are delighted to welcome
little Marion Lucille Mack to
our gang. We hope she grows
up to be a credit to her Aunt
Mary, who is, as you know, one
of our best known club mem
bers. Remember that time she
talked to you over the radio?

{ When men get the impression that there is no unempioylI1snt in Alaska and rush in there with little money and no experience they frequently become public charges"
 There are good opportunities, however, for capital in the devel- orment of legitimate projects in Alaska and many concerns are de- veloping mines on the basis of the present attractive gold prices, MT. Bender said. The development of some of the best-paying proper ties has cost huge sums and many old mining men will tell you that more gold mines have been made than discovered" meaning that the mere discovery of collaborating dirt or ore was only the beginning. It requires adequate financial back ing and experienced men to devel- op the mine.
 Mr.. Bender told the Alaska committee of the Tacoma Cham Der of Commerce at a meeting Tuesday of the threat to the fish

ing industry which furnished a big part of the 1'erritory's payroll. A proposal is before the Agricul- tural Adjustment administration to establish a processing tax oi S2.40 case on canned salmon and to tax fresh fish. The committee is sending vigorous protests against this action and also an endorse ment of the request of the Alaska crab industry for a tariff increase by 50 percent, or to 221a percent of the value of imported canned crabs.
 The c. c. c. boys have done good work in developing trails and roads into mineral-bearing country, MT. Bender said. Aviation has meant much to the industry. In the old days a legislator from Nome trav- eled six weeks by dog sled and further by boat to reach Juneau. By the time the legislature ad- journed in the spring the snow was too soft for sleds and he could reach Nome quickest by coming to Puget Sound by boat and re-

MT. Bender is renewing 5oyhood acqualntances in Tacoma where hs spent his youth. After his grad- uation from Stadium high school, he attended the state university and for a time was employed on the Tacoma Ledger.
 While the higher price of gold has made mining much more prof itable and mining has attracted many and will attract many more to Alaska, Mir. Bender sounds a little warning to inexperienced men who are tempted to rush into something tisy do not understand.
 Unless a man is real outdoor man who knows the hardships he will face and has enough backing to see him through he should not try prospecting alone" he says. T would advise men interested to wa.cn the newspapers for mining developments and then to contact companies engaged in mining for employment But they should not forget that we have plenty of un- employed residents of Alaska.

 COURT FOR TERM; SUBJECT TO CALL


 The criminal calendar of the United States District Court was ended this morning with the clos ing of the Nichia case and the regular panel of jurors for the present term was excused, subject to call.
 A number of equity cases and civil suits remain to be tried, but it is thought that only one or two will require juries.
 In excusing the panel, Judge G. F. Alexander thanked the jur- ors invidually and as group for their work and complimented them for their fair and impartial atti- tude during the term.

In the popular white mind, ynching has been consid

coored population in those sections Little if any, real eff
Justice the members of mobs In fact it often appears
that officials who are to uphold and defend the
dignity of the law not infrequently silent active
allies of the lynchers.
The apathy which the nation has shown toward the
ynchihg Negroes has emboldened the mob that
they do hesitate to horsewhp and Judge other
public officials illustrated by the rate farmers of the
Northwest; and with increasing frequency mobs put
ting white to death
Just the other day, two white prisoners taken
by mob from the sheriff of Tennessee town, hanged
and ridded with bullets
The United States is the only civilized country in the
world in which the spirit of mob violence is prevalent
Here the law is ramped under the feet of nobs and in
nocen citizens murdered by boodthrsty lynchers
For many years efforts been SUPPRESS the
mob spirit and to enact federal legislation against lynch

citizens being frequently lynched however may

The failure of white Americans to protect Negroes

OLD AGE PENSIONS

The Senate at Lansing, Wednesday, passed an old
age pension bill The measure was introduced by Senator
Ray Derham of Iron Mountain, Michigan, a substitute
for the House bill which had to the senate for
ment.
Opponents of the bill claimed that Michigan can not
afford pay pensions to the aged but in opinion the
people Of this great commonwealth afford not to
give the INDECENT aged and of the state, this
financial aid.
In recent years public sentiment has grown rapidly
in favor of old PENSIONS and number of progressive
states have already enacted legislation of this type These
states according to their statistics have found it much
cheaper to and more humane to give old age pensions
than true under the old system of maintaining the
aged in aims houses.
There is ample evidence to convince even the most
skeptca that pensions for the people of Michigan
will constitute added financial obligation to the
factory 1t will also eliminate the painful necessity of
separating aged couples sending the husband place
and the wives to another thereby deprvng them in the
dreary evening of life of the companonshp they have
ioyed through the years
Under the Michigan pension bill not more than $50
month will be granted to person; the admins
aton will be vested in the State Welfare Director: and
the with which the pensions be paid will be
supplied by poll tax levy
The bill provides that each person granted an old
age pension must De al least 20 years OF age must have
resided in the United States not less than Is years and
Michigan, 10 years.
The Michigan legislature to be congratulated upon
the passage of this bill Under its provision aged persons
receiving pensions, will not have to undergo the humlia
ton Of being sent to the poor house. but will find them
selves in the financial position to live with relatives and
friends and feel the satisfaction of paying their way
While the old age pension act will not eliminate the
need for aims houses for certain classes of physically and
mentally ncapacated individuals in Michigan yet it will
materially decrease the expense of operating such
institutions
When consider how difficult it is for the average
citizen Of to-day to enough support himsef and
family and lay aside sufficient sustain him
in Old and when remember how easy is
life time savings to be swept leaving him dependent
and helpless in his declining years rejoice in the
knowledge that the Michigan legislature has passed an
old age pension bill

THE MOB
J. E. Mccall

Wild-eyed and Old in forest vast and Silly
When leaves gold and air and chilly,
man ran through the fogs
Painting for breath his black face tense with terror
He fled from death, the mad mob drawing nearer
With guns and baying dogs
Within the trees, he heard a death-owl hootng;
And the breeze sounds of white men shooting
The poor wretch lSnelt to pray;
But quickly rose, his eyes with courage flashing,
And his foes through tangled growth dashing
He turned and stood at bey
Both and pack, like savage tigers sprnging
flushed on the Black while rifle balls went singing
Around his gray old head.
He laughed aloud, though from death-wounds bleeding
Defed the crowd their fendsh wrath unheeding
His soul was unafraid
Upon limb by hempen rope suspended,
They strangled him. until his life ended,
And left him hanging there
Upon tree they likewise lynched the Saviour
Though guiltless He, and Godlike in behaviour
Whom, will the mad mob spare?
