From all parts of the Territory come reports of the harm liquor is doing the Indians. It is doubtful If anything published, so far, has even begun to tell the story. How ever no one can blame the Indians, If they decide to do a little talking on the subject, themselves, and call attention to what liquor is doing to a good many of the paleface breth- ren.

DANGEROUS GROUNDS

That it is a dangerous matter to interfere in a domestic disagree ment is well known the world over, but that there are always men who never learn either by precept or example, was evidenced recently when three men of the Matanuska Valley eolonists at Palmer rushed to the aid of a woman, who, they believed, was being beaten by her husband.
 The husband maintained to of fiCers that he was not beating his wife; although it may have ap- peared he was holding and choking her, appearances were deceptive as he was merely holding his hand ov- CT her mouth to keep her from screaming.
 The manner in which the three men reacted to the deceptive ap- pearances," is revealed in the fol- lowing story by the Anchorage Times:
 Ernest King, Robert Rock and Elmer Shaw of Palmer today were facing damage suit of S11,262 filed in the district court against them by William Metz, laborer at Palmer, who charges that on July the three defendants visited his home, knocked him down and kicked him about the face and body until he was seriously injured and required disqualification.
 Reports at the time of the fighC alleged Metz, employed as a paint CT by the Alaska Rural Rehabilita- ton Corporation, was beating his wife and the three men sought to prevent the alleged beating.
 Metz in his suit asks for dam ages of $10,000, attorneys fee of $1,000, hospital and doctors fees of S108 and $154 for wages lost while recovering from injuries of the al- legged beating.
 Invading Home
 Metz charges the defendants yis- tied his home without invitation and against the will of the plaintiff 6nd without cause or provocation on the part of the plaintiff, each and all of them wilfully, wantonly and maliciously knocked the plaintiff down and beat, kicked and pound- ed him in the face and about the body, and that each time the plait- tiff would try to rise each and all of them would kick the plaintiff in the face and kick him about the body and limbs.
 "The suit charged that as a re- bone of Metz was fractured, his eyes were blackened and swollen shut, he was absolutely blind for three days, his eyesight will be impaired for several months and other ser ious wounds and bruises were in- flicted on various other portions of the plaintiffs body.
 Lost His Pay
 'The suit charges Metz was con fined to the hospital for Il days following the fight, with resultant expenses totaling $108, and that he lost his regular wages during 14 days totaling $154, as a result of injuries received in the alleged beating. The plaintiff was employ cd by the Alaska Rural Rehabilita- tion Corporation at $S per day and was doing mechanical work after regular working hours at $3 per day, the suit said.

think that women are a Special
Treat and I'm sick of seeing them
act as if they were-and COM
pletely disgusted with any woman
who uses her sex to obtain unfair
advantage.
I'll admit that there was excuse,
in the past, for such female
maneuveringS Woman, then, was
rated with domestic cattle and
had no power or privilege save
that which she coZened for ner-
self by willy oonniving. So one
can hardly censure the Little Lady
if she outSmarted her Lord n
Master with swoons and routS,
tears and tantrumS.
MORE PRIVILEGES
However, we're out of the harem
now, girls. We are no longer rated
as chattels or cattle but possess,
today, quite as much power as
men and usually, far more privi-
lege. Also-what is far more i'm
portant-we face as tall chal-
lenges and heavy responsibilities.
Which, if we would accept them,
would go far toward turning us
from Domestic Pets into Regular
People.
But at this point Women waver.
It's delightful to have the same
power as man. But when it
comes to paying the same price
for that opportunity, or facing the
same penalty if we mess it up
nothing doing! For though, !heo-
retically. we accept the program
equality. practically we scorn it.
Deep in our hearts there per,
siStS the old notion that women
are a Special Treat and should
be coddled accordingly.
If men are nice to us, that's
simply their duty as our just due.
But if we are nice to men, that's
a Great Favor, to be duly appre-
ciated.
This code is hammered into the
infant mind before it is able to
reason. Junior mustn't swat Sister

year, you'll be hearing his wedding
bells.
Every man, apparently, has to
pass through the period when he
thinks of himself as hard-boiled
bachelor, a woman-Scorner or q
gay Don Juan-born to be loved,
but never to be married. Just as
he has to pass through the love
lorn stage, which strikes him at
IT, when romance and poetry get
their first break with him.
The cynical complex usually
attacks a man when he has been
out of college for a year or so
and is beginning to tire Of girl
chasing, petting or feminine adula-
ton. Or it may seize him when
he is just recovering from a long
draWn-out love-affair and fancieS
that he is all fed-up with women.
Or when he has just escaped
from an unhappy marriage and
looks upon every woman as a
menace.
It is then that he fondly viSu-
alizes himself as an Eternal
Bachelor, with no responsibilities
and no woman to chide him. A
ruthless free-lance, continually
surrounded by admiring and pin
ing women-a butterfly with the
impregnable heart of a cynic.
He feels that, with so much

lOuS nor dreadful, as is commonly
believed, such belief having risen
from the liberties which magma
tive writer's have taken with a
scientific subject.
To mention to the average
person hypnotism conjures up in
his mind a fearsome, bearded
demon in the guise Of a man
Svengali in the flesh.
It is a fact that in Germany in
recent years several persons have
been convicted and sent to prison
for using hypnotic influence on
others, to compel them to commit
crimes, or to SWindle the victims
out of their money.
There have been defenseS Of
hypnotic influence" put forward
by the accused in homicide cases
III this country.
However, physicians generally
hold that a person in the artificial
sleep will not carry out any sug-
geStion which is hostile to their
normal instincts.
In other words, only a person
with character prone to murder
would attempt such a crime under
a hypnotic spell.
NOT REMARKABLE
In the good old days of vaude-
Vile and medicine shows, the
hypnotist was a great attraction.
The gallery gods looked on in
awe and the plutocrats of the dress
circle looked on in feigned Skepti-
cism while the professor" put his
stooges through their PAGES.
Few in the audiences realized
that the feats we're not at all re-
markable and that little or no
taking was required, except where
the element of humor was intro
duced.
Tragedy stalked the stage of q
small theater in New Jersey in
1909, when the subject came out
CT his trance too soon and died,
presumably as the result of a
particular experiment in which
the hypnotist stood on the alb
domen of the subject, whose body
was suspended between two chairs.
At the present time France is
making much of Greek named
Aris, whose hypnotic feats seem
to be based on the claim OF Mes
mer. that by means of magnetic
fluid in the body an individual is
able to impose his will upon an
other.
Our Greek friend has all the
appearance of a stage performer,
black beard, bristling hair, and
penetrating eyes.
His Seances, in which his
medium is a girl with the strange
name Fakara, are reported to be
most interesting and exciting.
For all of that, the French
Academy has condemned public
exhibitions of hypnotiSm, charg-
ing that they tend to stimulate
reurotic tendencies, excite abnor-
NAL curiosities, and "give the false
impression that hypnosis permits
the outside will to operate upon the
department of others, which is
contrary to the truth"

ALL of his heart, all of his time

But don't let this discourage
you. It is just passing a phase

And, by the same token, a hus-

though he have ton Of evidence

"a gentleman never ISLANDERS a

Men, themselves, started these
unfair and demoralizing practises
with the institution of Chivalry
No man ever really believed that
Woman was made of finer clay
as man-ma6e statutes proved
But it was infinitely more con
venient to put women on a pedes
tai and pretend to worship her
than to let her run around al
large. And pedestals proved SC
alluring to lovely, lazy ladies that
they failed to see the slick shinni
ganS behind the scheme.
SAME HUMAN NATURE
Pedestals have long since passed
from the picture, but the cussed-
ness they engendered hasn't. The
average modern woman expects
every possible Machine Age oppor-
tunity and liberty, but she still
demands all the exemptions, pro
lection and petting of the Horse

The simple truth Is woman
nature is exactly the same as
man nature. Woman is no purer,

man no more entitled to re-
spect unless and until she. indi-
vidually, earns it.
There are as many filthy

there are males :. as many SenSi-

men as there are women. And every
sensible, Self-respecting woman
will admit the fact and scorn the
thought of Special Privilege.
Either we ARE equal, sisters, or
we're not. If we ARE, let's pay
the price for the privilege, and

1t does not entirely spoil a good
story to say that while the name
he gave correSponded with the
initials on his tie clasp, it was not

happened to be the site of the

HypnotiSm is not uncommon in
medicine, and the Russians claim
to be using it now as a treatment
to ease the pain of child birth.
The method there is for the
doctor to fix his glance on the
patient and repeat steadily to her
that she is to fall into "a deep,
deep Sleep"

"and you will be asleep. You
only want to sleep. 1t is dark

The procedure takes 10 min

"OLD STUFF"
A doctor in Ohio said that he,
too had employed hypnotism in
such a case and intended to use it
in others.
In answer to the Russians and
to the Ohio doctor, DR.. Morris
Fishbein, editor of the American
Medical Association Journal, re-
marks that such experiments are
rather old stuff.
1t was done 80 or 35 years ago,
says DR.. Fishbein, and he is
skeptical of its efficacy.
"HypnOtiSm as an endeavOr to
alleviate the pains of child

Fundamental Decency

That the National Civil Service Reform League thinks
it necessary to propose constitutional amendment to
force observance of merit principles in appointments to
Government positions is sad but justified, reflection
on the type of public leadership in the United States
today.
Fundamental decency requires that these appointments
to positions of trust the service of all the people should
be made on the basis of qualification for carrying out
the job.
Certainly it should not be necessary to buttresS
that requirement BY incorporating it in the funda
mental IaIU.
BUT IF THE CONDUCT OF THE ROOSEVELT AD-
MIN1sTRATIoN IN REGARD TO THE CIVIL sERV-
ICE IS TO BE PERPETUATED 1T WOULD SEEM
THAT THE CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUES PROPOSAL
rs JUSTIFIED.
No administration in history had greater oppor-
tunty to extend the merit system than did that
in office.
It has built up and extended the Government personnel
beyond anything ever conceived in peace time.
By far the greater part of these appointments
could haze been placed the merit SYSTEM thus
GffOrding protection both to the GppOntee and to the
taxpayers lUhO hare to foot the bill.
BUT WHILE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GOVERN
MENT EMPLOYEES HAS BEEN INCREASED TO A
HIGH POINT, THE PERCENTAGE UNDER CIVIL
SERVICE HAS FALLEN TO NEW Low.
In the creation of no less than fifteen agencies
of Government under the Roosevelt administration spe
cc provisions casting aside the Civil Service have been
incorporated in the law.
The disastrous effects of this policy have been clearly
perceived by Governor Landon and the Republican party
The Republican convention adopted and the words Of
the conventions candidate have strengthened, pledge
to extend the merit system.
NEVER BEFORE HAS SUCH FAR SWEEPING
PLEDGE TO MAKE MERIT GOVERN APPOINT
MENTs AND ABILITY INSURE STABILITY OF
TENURE BEEN GIVEN BY MAJOR POLITICAL
PARTY.
The course lUhich the Republican party purposes
to follow in establishing the merit system firm
base is in the interest of everyone employed by the
Government nOlU and likely to be employed by it in
the future.
Carrying into effect Of the Republican platform and
Governor Landon's promises would make unnecessary
