GAME OFFICIAL
 SERVES WARNING

Expressing admiration for the cool nerve and courage displayed by Dahl in his encounter with the bear, Executive Officer Frank Dufresne of the Alaska Game Commission to- day said that all hunters should be especially cautious particularly at this time of the year when in brown bear country. During the denning season, from now until around Mo- vember 15, the Brownies are in nervous, high strung and ugly mood, he said, and the hunter should proceed with caution and should always be armed with a powerful rifle, nothing smaller than a 30O6, shooting an expanding bull let.
 The officer said the Dahl attack was the first one reported in Alaska this season.

The Job of Censorship.

nNE reason why moving pictures
~ are so clean is because some
of the people who censor them have
such dirty minds. To the very
pure everything is SO impure, is it
not? That's why some of us think
the weight of popular opinion, rath-
er than the judgment of narrow
Drained official judges in various
states, should decide what should
and what should not be depicted.
Anyhow, there are so many movies
which, slightly amending the old
ballad, are more to be pitied than
censored.
Sponsors of radio programs also
lean over backward to be prudiShly
proper. But without let or hindrance
the speaking stage, month by
month, grows fouler and filthier.
Suggestive lines once created a
shock in the audience mind. The
lines no longer suggest-they come
right out and speak the nastiness.
Sauce for the goose isn't sauce for
the gander, 'tWould Seem-or may
be, after the reformers got through
saucing radio and screen, there
wasn't any left over for the So
called legitimate stage.

Humane Fox Hunting.
,CANTA MONICA, CALF.
- In England it has been
decided that fox-hunting is
humane. This opinion ema-
mates from the hunters. The
foxes have not been heard
from on the subject.
Maybe you don't know it, but
there's a lot of fox-hunting among

English Recruiting.


THE English are still having
l. trouble inducing young fellows
to join the colors. First, the gov
ernment tried to increase enlist
ments by giving every recruit gid
dy new blue uniform, absolutely free
of charge, and still the lads re-
fused. So now. as an appeal which.
it's believed, no true Britisher can
withstand, the military authorities
announce that, hereafter. Tommy
Atkins will have time off for after
noon tea.
This may be a new notion for
peacetime, but, during the great
war, the custom was maintained
even up at the front. Many a time
I've seen all ranks, from the briga-
diers on down, knocking off for tea.
However, t h i S didn't initiate
against his majesty's forces, be-
cause, at the same hour, the Ger
mans. over on their side of the line,
were having coffee-or what the
Germans mistake for coffee And
the French took advantage of the
lull to catch up with their bookkeep-
ing on what the allies owed them
for damage to property, ground
rent, use of trenches, billeting
space, wear and tear, ETC., etc.
Did it ever occur to our own gen.
eral staff that guaranteeing a daily
crap-shooting interval might stimu-
late volunteering for the American
army?

hill and dale would be set down as
an insane fish peddler; and if you
shouted View. halloo! Tantivy,
tantivy! Yoicks, yoicks!" or words
to that effect, they'd think you were
a new kind of hog-caller.
Down there they've chased the
fox until he's wise. The foxes have
learned that the hounds can't fol-
low trail on a paved highway and
so quit the thicket for the concrete
when the chase is on. A fox has
been sitting in the middle of the big
road listening to the beWildered
pack.
On second thought maybe Brer
Fox isn't so smart, after all-not
with automobile traffic what it is.
'Tis a hard choice-stay in the
woods and get caught or take to the
pike and get run over.

Courageous Republicans.

XXIHO. besides the writer, can re-
w call when the Democrats held
their publication rallies the night be-
fore a presidential election and the
Republicans the night after the re-
turns were in, when they had some
thing to jubilate over? Now the sit
uation is just the other way around.
The Literary Digest poll was prac-
tically the only thing the Republi-
cans had to celebrate during the en-
tire fall season of 1886.
Still, we must give that dimin-
ished but gallant band credit for
courage. Here. in an off-year,
they're spiritedly planning against
the next congressional campaign.
