Martin Harrais, local U. s. Com missioner for Valdez Precinct. ap- peared before the Grand Jury at the November term of Court. with the following statement
 q am appreciative of this oppor- tunity to appear before you, but be- fore I proceed with my statement I wish to emphasize that I am not ap- bearing solely in behalf of the Val dez office. of which I am the pres ent incumbent, but in behalf of the whole Third Division. of which you are in Grand Jury session to inves- tigate and report on the condition of our public offices.
 T have lived in Alaska for many years and have done business many times with the U s Commissioner s office, but on the outside of the counter. as it were There are only few recording offices in the Third and Fourth Divisions in which I have not noted the inadequate ia cilities for storing and preserving public documents. Seward Is the only place in the Third Division in which room and vault have been provided in the Federal Building for the U s Commissioner. In the other Recording Districts one is lia- ble to find the Commissioner camp ed anywhere.
 "I have done business in the Com missioners office now for fortv-five days, in a room 1lxl6 feet. in the Federal Building. through the kind ness of J. w. Kehoe the present District Attorney, who has given up one of his rooms to accomodate the Commissioners Office. I have learn ed some things which I did not know before Most people who have done business with the U s. Commissioners office. with all its | adjunct official positions have often blamed the Commissioner for the dis orderly way in which public docu- ments are kept.
 'The U s Commissioner Office is an integral part of the law ad- ministration and enforcing agency in the Department of Justice-and a very important part. It is the cus- todian of vital public documents There are four distinct offices to make up the whole The Federal Judge U s Commissioner, U s Dis trict Attorney and U s Marshal that is the unit.

Fireproof vaults have been provided for the Clerks of the Court and Marshals to keep their records in. have no quarrel with that, But to keep records of what? Mostly records of criminal cases and civil litigation which. in course of time, are settled and finished; but the re- cords are all kept in fire-proof vaults-preserved.
 It is true that the Commissioner deals with little things. He passes judgement on misdemeanors, settles disputes of small amounts, records the records of your town lots, your mining locations, births marriages and deaths. He looks after affairs of deceased friends. All little things but those little things are vital, living. continuous. There are no vaults provided to preserve them. Mostly they are kept in Woodsheds exposed to fire. And the irony of it is that the records that are so care fully preserved in fireproof vaults are mostly criminal records-re- cords of human depravity-while the records of honest human endea- vors are exposed to destruction.
 Three-fourths of the Federal fam fly are housed and provided with fixed incomes. The one-fourth-the step-child-haS no fixed income and must provide it's own Woodshed. He must subsist on the small fees he collects from the public, which sel- dom give an income commensurate with the service rendered.
 The Commissioners are appointed by the Judges. The Judge has some choice of selection in populous cen ters. Capable men in private busi- ness take the office of Commissioner as a side line and the public busi- ness is carried on creditably In small communities the Judges choice of selection is limited to Whom can I get to take it?"
 The office of Commissioner is either a peacemaker or a trouble-br Stories are told of neighborS mis- understandings and disagreements Nine times out of ten these disagree ments can be ironed out amicably; but by doing so the Commissioner gets no feeS-no trouble, no fees. The temptation is obvious; unscrup- ulous men can turn the office into a trouble fomenter and a den of eX- ploitation. All the other Federal and Territorial officers are provided with salaries, office room and expen- ses. Why not the Commissioners :?
 Let me repeat-it is true that the Commissioners are looking after lit tie things yet there is not another office in the whole Territory where in the incumbent comes in as close contact with the public in so many intimate, diversified ways as do the

morning on bikes, move out again in
the evening France and Belgium also
are abundantly bicycle-conscious. In
Holland everybody rides. And the death
toll of the streets in those countries is
cut accordingly. People may be hurt in
spills from rubber-tired broncos. but few
are killed in accidents Of that kind.
Perhaps the suggestion is worthy of
consideration in Washington. Obviously
there is numerous public here who
might be classified as living within easy
bicycle range of work. A statistician
has estimated that at least half of the
population of the Capital is domiciled In
an area reasonably convenient for
cycling to and from business.
But the substitution of bikes for motor
vehicles would have to be general II 1t
were to be effective. Mere minority re-
course to bicycles for practical transport
tation would not suffice. The highways
already are so crowded with automobiles
as to make cycling dangerous, especially
In the downtown section.
In smaller communities, however, the
experiment might be tried with expec-
tation of success. At New Haven hun
dreds of Yale men cycle to class; at
Princeton likewise bikes are popular.
Presumably, the physical exercise in

San Francisco 70 aid in relief endeavor
there following the earthquake and fire.
1t was while he was In the stricken city
that he was enlisted in the Red Cross
movement as an emergency representa-
tive. So notable were his services that
1t seemed that he had been providen-
TALLY raised up" for the purpose. He
was chosen general director Of the ma
tional society in 1908. At that time,
however, only five thousand persons were
enrolled. Mr.. Bicknell lived to see a
membership peak of twenty millions.
He rebuilt the Red Cross organization.
Meanwhile, he had charge of the
American aspect of help to Messina,
Italy; at the Cherry, Ill, mine disaster
of 1909. and in Mexico during the revo-
lutions of 1918. He attained the apex
of his career when the World War
began and he was sent to Europe on
the battleship Tennessee with the funds
voted by Congress for stranded Ameri-
cans caught in the cataclysm. The
earth brimmed with trouble during the
next two decades, and Mr.. Bicknell was
one of the ministering angels who Ia
bored to prevent complete collapse of
civilization. Yet relatively few of his
contemporaries knew of him. He sub
merged himself in his vocation until,
in 1888, he could retire with confidence
that the structure he had reared could
stand without him. The leisure he had
earned was spent writing his memoirs,
and the printed book was placed in his
hands on Saturday. He glanced over
the pages and quietly fell asleep. 1t
would be dificult to fnd more useful
life than his had been.

Ernest p. Bicknel.

Not many of the host Of Americans
who appreciate the Red Cross are famil-
lar with the part which Ernest p. Bick-
nell played in it's development. 1t was
characteristic of him that he should
prefer to avoid the fame which easily
might have been his in that regard.
But now that he has gone to whatever
reward is reserved for such laborers in
the universal vineyard, the story may
be told.
1t happened that the Red Cross needed
an organizing genius-an individual with
spiritual capital, enthusiasm, loyalty and
practical skill. The cause OF mercy to
which Clara Barton had been devoted
REQUIRED a servant with the gifts she
had brought to the work, but also with
an endowment OF pragmatic intelli-
sence demanded by new conditions.
World conditions were enormously COM
plicated, people were busy with per-
sonal problems, society was in stage OF
transition and old ideals of kindliness
and charity were in danger Of being
forgotten. The question was as to
whether or not the Red Cross could sur
vive. Also, it was matter Of debate
among those most directly interested as
to what form further effort should take.
The issue reached crisis in 1904, when
Miss Barton, eighty-three years Of age,
resigned.
But the solution of the problem did
not appear until 1906, when Mr.. Bick-
nell, then general superintendent of the
Board Of Charities Of Chicago, went to

Bikes Coming Back.

Bicycle production figures indicate
that there is revival Of interest in the
favorite pastime of forty years ago. It
is said that more than two million bikes
are in regular and consistent use in the
United States today. Movie stars, college
students and amateur sportsmen are sup.
posed to be responsible for the renais-
sance, and the ancient League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen has been revived to give
direction to it. In 1894 manufacturers
reported twenty-five per cent increase
in the sale of new machines.
Meanwhile. England and Germany
show what the bicycle may mean as q
practical device for the solution Of traffic
problems. Armies Of people move into

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Every one has had the experience Of
being passed up on the street with un-
seeing eyes by friend of long standing.
Often the reaction to this is the eie-
mental cne Of, well, II he doesn't want
to speak, all right"
Which, of course, is rather absurd, but
completely natural.
When one sees the offender again,
usually the conversation runs along
these lines:
It am sorry you aren't speaking any
more"
What do you mean, not speaking?"
"Why, passed you on the street the
other day, and you stuck your nose up
in the air"
81 never saw you at ALL"
Often this rejoinder is met with polite
disbelief.
well, you were looking right at me" !"
The explanation is hurried. You
see, sometimes when I am thinking
about something I can look right at
friend, and not see him at all"
4
This is true, but often such persons
are not given credit for such overlooking.
The common way is to be offended, or
at least to pretend to be offended.
Which action is the worse must be left
to the psychologists.
In the everyday life there is scarcely
any need for either, yet nothing is more
common than for men and women to be
hurt" as they say, over the failure Of
friends and acquaintances to speak to
them upon occasion.
The ordinary, hardy individual, who
is not SO constituted, mentally, will not
altogether understand the situation.
Often, therefore, he is the very one who
hurts others without once realizing his
fault.
To him. of course, it is not a fault
at all, but merely one of the happen
ings OF q crowded day. >Since he nor
mally fails to greet acquaintances. he
does not really mind when others do
not say "hello" to him.
4 y X
The more sensitive individual, who
wears his heart on his sleeve, for every
one to hurt, puts too much stock in the
daily greeting, perhaps.
He likes to speak to everybody, and
wants every one to greet him in turn.
If they do. he regards it only as normal,
whereas if they do not he Is tremen-
dously put out over it.
1t does no good to say he should not
be that way. THAT way" Is his way,
and never will it change. Efforts to
change such personal ways" are more
or less wasted, especially by the individ-
ual concerned. Will power, that good
will power so often talked about, is not
so good when it is exerted by mind to
correct SJIch tendencies
often the stress and strain OF this in
ward battle serves only to make more
prominent the very trait which one seeks
to correct. The so-called nervous break
down sometimes is brought about by
sucn inner conflict.
X Il
Every human, therefore, must more
or less study his own personality, in
such cases, and come at last to find out
what is good for him and what is not.
Then he may see that he can overcome
an excessive "sensibility," as Jane Aus
ten would have called it, by the mere
expedient of pointedly telling himself,
when he begins to feel offended, that
the offending person really was very
busy.
This BUSINESS of humanity is very
real.
1t is one Of the best solutions of many
problems, one so thoroughly ingrained in
Evening star., 1935-09-30

humanity that commonly no one ever
stops to think about 1t. Just as Marcus
Aurelius said. Talk not about what q
good man is, but be one" SO man, in the
mass, has never talked much about ac-
ton, as such, but has launched himself
into it. Thus he has saved himself from
much vain thinking, since the intelli-
gences Of average men are not so put
together as to be able to offer any real
help In many Of the great problems
which confront them. They are willing,
as group. to permit specially gifted
and trained men to do this sort of
thinking for them. Hence has arisen
the tribe of poets, writer's, artists, in
ventors, preachers, leaders, men and
women seemingly gifted with the divine
ability to think along certain lines. This
has been regarded as inspiration" and
treated accordingly.
Your great average man, however, will
never find anything better for him than
being busy about many things.
1t is an old idea, as old as human
ity, and 1t has never been improved on.
1t is good to recall it, now and then,
in order to realize the springs of regu-
are based in average character.
Such recalling, also, will enable the
person whose mind and heart are too
easily affected to put the very best con-
Struction on the failure of others to
speak to him as much as he thinks they
ought.
He will, in the first place try to keep
himself so busy that he will not expose
himself to what strikes him as snubbing
more than is necessary.
Then he will tell himsef, II 1t, never
theleSs, occurs, that the person involved
is very, very busy, that he has so much
on his mind that he is probably think
ing OF some great matter when he
passes.
Curiously enough, often this Is alb
solutely correct!
1t is great and important, at least, to
the man, and you must not attempt to
tell him otherwise, for he would not
believe you, in any case.
He is very busy about it, and at the
time 1t seems so grand and important
that he naturally has his head in the
air, and his eyes clouded with dreams.
In time he will come to see his dreams
were not very great, after all, but at the
time he sees them as the greatest pile
Of clouds in the history of mankind.
Who can say?
Often it Is amusing, and not little
pitiful, to see human going these ways
of dreams, intent on some purpose which
seems great to him, and petty to every
one else
In such mood 1t is easy to under
stand the words, "Oh. Jerusalem, Jeru-
salem how often would have gathered
thy children together, even as hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings,
and thou would not"
Let every one try, when another does
not speak on meeting him, to believe
honestly that the other is laboring under
great and pressing problems.
Maybe they are small problems which,
nevertheless, seem great to him.
Many persons, also, are unable to do
two things at time. To think, and
at the same moment greet, seems really
beyond them.
The joy of thinking is not theirs, only
its work.
Pity them, therefore, in a sense. and
be kind to them in your thoughts.
Then you will not be hurt when you
say, Good morning." and get no greet
ing in reply.
