 The goose began to quack out loud, which tickled all the Tiny crowd. Soon Goldy cried, You've made friends with the wild old bird, no doubt"
 Just then they heard brave Scouty roar, "Hey, look! There is a treat in store. I'll show you how a circus rider does his clever tricks.

 The farmer then cried, Hey, there, goose, stop chasing that lad. Whats the use of soaring him? He hasn't done a single thing to you!
 "Hop right back to your pen, right now, less you want me to start row." The goose obeyed. He thought 1t was the smartest thing to do.

WHY NOT CoAsTING SLIDE, TOO?

Action of the Chamber of Commerce and the City Council in promoting an ice skating rink in Evergreen Bowl is commendable and no doubt will have the whole hearted support of all persons in the community whether they pesonally like skating not as it pro- vides place for those that do especially the young sters and with safety The fact that it will be made rink and lake which too often has treacherous ice and its location virtually in the heart of the city and easily accessible make the project particularly attractive. The small amount of money the city has appropriated to aid in carrying out the work of con struction is small in comparison with the great value during the winter months.
 But has already been suggested by Chief of Police Roy Hoffman it would be good chance to extend the activity to include sort of coasting slide for the younger children the little fellows up to the age or six As the Chief pointed out at a recent meeting of the City Council streets an unsafe place small children to coast though the street itself is closed to traffic. The bigger boys and girls can manage well enough, perhaps but the
 little folk actually need slide two for themselves.
 With nature furnishing the refrigeration it has been doing so thoroughly thus far this winter the cost would not likely amount to much of With the rink now assured the suggestion of convenient coasng slide for the youngsters is worthy of immediate consideration everyone knows there few enough amusements for children in Juneau. Opportunity to afford them healthy clean and safe recreation should not be overlooked

Our Sanguinary Anthem.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 The Star-Spangled Banner" has often been crti- cized as unsuitable for national anthem because it extremely difficult to sing, and because the effect when it is sung properly is not particularly fine unsteady. It is often remarked in Cincinnati that the really fine rendition of national anthem was given by Canadian choir when it visited the city. The foreigners made good job of .The Star Spanged Banner" by changing it considerably.
 A most astonishing objection to the national hymn has come from an Assistant Superintendent of Schools in New York Speaking as an educator, this gentleman contends that it is too mitaristic for high school students" Emphasizing that he is not a pacfist he argues that such lines bombs bursting in air" are too blood thirsty and develop the wrong sort of patriotism.
 As an educator, the gentleman is doubtless right. But national anthems do not grow trees They are born of national crisis most often in the grave emergency of and it is not surprising that they reflect something of the hatred and savagery of Perhaps it is bad thing theoretically, to teach young people that many of our national heroes won their fame by killing their felowmen. But the facts of his tory are facts War is too much part of na- tional heritage to be rooted out in deference to pacific ideal.
 There probably is no harm, however, in hoping for better national anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner is faulty muscay and psychologically Very few people know the words, because it is difficult to sing. Very few people realize, also that it has been the national anthem for only four years Per- haps, some day, someone will write song embodying the spirit and the ideals of great nation in a inspiring to those who have to sing it. and more satisfactory to those who concerned with the theology of our patriotism But anything tra- ditiona in nature national anthem is not to be changed merely because pensive gentleman has found pedagogical objection to the prevailing anthem

 In addition to being of Americas greatest living political cartoonists Darling is game con- servaonist He has very definite and thorough ideas how wild life in the United States could be brought

Practical Politicians.

Dr. Frank E. Townsend author of the Townse.iaa Plan, complains that unscruplous persons and poli- ticians are trying to confscate his movement for selfish ends
 The good doctor doubtless is sincere in believing that his $200-a month pension for all of the eleven million Americans past 6O financed by a sales tax on every transaction, is socially, legally and econ omically sound Certainly the old folks who form his ardent army believe this.
 But what be said of California reactionary Governor who sets out to win the Presidential inaton with the Townsend Plan his issue? Or of Senator Borah who flirts with this idea? Or scores of other politicians who raise the fantastic banner of doctrine they know is unavoidable simply to win the votes of trusting oldsters?

West in Revolt.

 It is striking phenomenon of American politics that three Eastern men, Theodore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, have won the hearts of the West, all of them of exceptional learning, culture and intellect educated in the East Governors of Eastern States If the East regards the West as inhabited by ignorant uncouth electorate it has only to observe how the best it offer attracts votes out there. Then it might observe that the only living Republican statesmen of national repute are Westerners and that they all are in revolt against the Old Guard manipulators whose men in Congress were busted and replaced by Democrats

20 YEARS AGO
NOVEMBER IS. 1915
From The Empire

The reward offer of $500 for news either of William Christie's where abouts if alive or disposal of his body. if dead, stood unclaimed, as few developments occurred in the case against Edward Krause, accused slayer now enroute from Seattle on the steamer Alameda to stand trial in Juneau.
 It was revealed by relatives of Ole Moe that the latter had left Seattle in a boat in which a man named A. H. Dahl owned half-interest. Tn the North, Dahl had sold his in terest to Krause and returned to Se- attle. Shortly after his transaction Moe dropped from sight. Questioned about his disappearance, Krause de- clared stoutly that he had gone to Europe but was vague as to his whereabouts. He was also unable to account for the disposal of Noes personal mail, which he had been receiving in the Juneau postoffice in the box originally chartered by Moe.
 Possibility that still a fourth vic- tim might be added to the list of Krause's slayings arose when the signature, several times copied, of a man named Charles F. Smith was discovered among his belongings. Since his possession of the signature, his evident attempts to copy it, and the documents which accompanied it were similar in all respects to the traces he had of his other victims, it would seem reasonable to suppose that the unknown Smith met a sim liar doom.
 Chief of Detectives Charles Ten nant formally charged Krause with the murders of William Christie, of Treadwell, Ole Moe of Seattle, and Capt. J. O. Plunkett of Juneau.
 It was also revealed that the sub poena, the various letters purport- ed to be by Moe, and the letter by which Plunkett supposedly reported the burning of the "Lue," were writ ten on Berkshire Bond, supplies of which paper were in Krause's pos session at the time of his apprehen- sion.
