hated him SO hard that they

him.
On the very day of the proposed

some travelling slave-traders, and

he was off TO a lingering death.

Where Was the Hand of God?

Joseph expressed no opinion about

bly, gagged.) But judging from his
general character and behavior at
that time Of his life, it is no trouble
to guess his thoughts. He was fit
to be tied; indeed. he must have
been tied on a camel's back, for no
slave-trader in his senses would
make Joseph walk the 200 miles to
Egypt.
The better his condition on ar
rival, the higher the price. fAs
IL turned out, q very wealthy
man bought him: perhaps only
wealthy man could afford
him.
II you had asked Joseph while
he was being hauled down TO
Egypt and the slave-market, Where
is God In all this7 Joseph might
well have answered: Nowhere. The
devil is in this. or my devilish
brothers. Nobody means any good
by it. The only reason they are sell
ing me instead Of killing me is that
they are making a little by it; these
slave-traders are certainly not in
business for their health. | am the

BAKERS EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

We note with interest that Bill Baker, pub fisher of Ketchkan periodical called the Chronicle, showing very neighborly concern for the Jobless Lew Williams In an editorial Monday, Baker ex- plores job possibilities for Williams praises his ability as newsman and suggests that work might be available with one of the axis" newspapers of the Territory.
 We cast no aspersions Bakers efforts as self styled vocational guidance counselor, but think he should be advised that Williams is not available for employment at the present time. Lew Williams, as publisher of the Wrangell Sentinel, will undoubtedly devote his efforts to his own business, should Baker.
 Humorous note was Bills observation that LeWs activity in the publishing business would keep him independent and free which what all good journal ists desire more than anything else"

asked for equality treatment and opportunity for men of all in the armed services. Segregation general in the United States always has been puz- zling to Europeans and Asiatics not because they have totally innocent of the practice themselves but because they have been unable to reconcile it with the spirit of democracy which we profess to cherish.
 Racial segregation in the armed services always has been difficult to explain, even to ourselves, except on the grounds of expediency which ultimately have been found not to bear up.

New Policy
Cincinnati Enquirer

In reversing its racial segregation policy the U & Army has followed the lead of the other defense services the Air Force, Navy and Marine corps, which some time ago gave up maintaining separate racial units. It seems doubtful that the new pohcy will cause much, if any, adverse criticism
 Mainly the Army had found by experience that units where Negro and white troops were mtegrateo performed more efficiently than the segregated Negro service and combat troops. The change, therefore, has heen dictated by practical as by psycho logical reasons Of considerable urgency.
 As long as three years ago President Truman issued the directive which gave rise to the Army order to abolish segregation In it the President
