NEW DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
NEEDED.
Secretary Heaver lias not helped to popularize him
toll in Alaska by calling on the Isaac Walton League
of America for aid in solving the fisheries situation
up here. That is an appeal to one of the worst
lihar.es of the luce system in this country. It is an
appeal to the organized minority system of coercive
government, it is calling for a duplication of the at
ti nipt of Hr. W. T. ilornaday and other endowed sec
retarirr of Eastern hobby societies to run Alaska. It is
cimpurable to Delegate Sutherland's surrender to New
Y ok game clubs.
If there is one thing that Alaska should make
plain it is (hat she has declared her independence
from all such organizations as the Isaac Walton
League of America. Alaska ought to be free from
the various leagues, clubs, associations, societies and
other propaganda organizations supported by dona
tions talked out of wealthy Eastern faddists by soft
job hunters.
One of the greatest things that could be done for
efficiency, economy, i unity and self-government in
America would he to scrap a few hundred propaganda
oiganizatlons which, through coercion, connivance and
combinations, are, in too large a degree, running the
country. Sentimentalists with money and a desire to
be bury finance a faw zealots or schemers to organize
an association of some sort, and then it begins to
make combinations with similar organizations and
threaten witn defeat public officers and candidates
fer public offici who do not aid them In their work.
Ti.ib sort of thing lias all but made a government by
the minority instead of a government by the majority
in the United Stales.
We need a new declaration of independence in
the United States. We need freedom freedom from
the so-called conservation secieties, the Isaac Walton
Leagues, I. W. W.'s, Anti-Saloon Leagues, sconie pro

jority rule. If these societies would confine their ef
forts to legitimate educational processes it would be
different, but Ihey do not. They have organized lob
bies and hull-dozing campaign committees, which at
tempt to force their will on legislatures and executives
before they have won a majority ot the people. They
trade with each other, log roll and deal in patronage
just like piratical political organizations have done in
the past.

KENNECOTT COFFER FROGRESS.
According to President Birch, if the Kennccott
Company should acquire control of Utah Copper as
It is proposed that it shall, the Kennccott. output will
he 600,000,000 pounds of copper a year, and it will
produce it at a lower cost than any like quantity
i f copper is produced. Utah Copper and the Braden
mine in South America are each producing copper a*
approximately 8.33 cento a pound, delivered to the
consumer, and the Mother Lode in Alaska is deliver
ing it at a cost to the company of less than seven
cent:;. With copper selling in excess of 17 cents,
the profits on the 600,000000-pound output will be
approximately $60,000,000 a year.
When the discussion reverts to who's who in
Alaska those interested in athletics think of Soldier
Butler of Chilkoot Barracks.
; Alaska like the rest of the United States need3
reduced expenditures rather than increased taxes.

(San Francisco Chronicle.)
Mary Bordoni, seventeen-year-old Benecia Kiri,
a few flays ago jumped into Suiaan Bay and, at the
risk cf her life, saved two small children from drown
ing. While women and children stood about scream
1 ing and the two yongsters struggled in the water,
Mary simply ran down a steep embankment, plunged
into the bay and rescued the children. Acclaimed a1
a heroine and questioned ns to the impulse w'hicli
prompted her to endanger her own life in an effort
to save the lives of others, Mary just hangs her head
• and says she didn't do anything wonderful.
| “There was nothing else to do," she explains,
i “Everybody was standing round crying and some
I creaming, and so I just run down the hill and jump
, ed in.”
The heroic artirn of Mary Bordoni naturally gives
1 rise to the question, what is it makes a person, ap
! parently not cast in heroic mold, rush willingly in at
a critical moment and risk his or her own life in an
effort to save the life of another? The answer is that
I men and women are instictivoly brave. Sometimes
I they are brave without realizing it. Evldencies in
| peace, as well as In war, time after time have proven
I that emergency oftentimes makes heroes of erstwhile
ccwards.
| As for Bryan's remark about wealth being a
| riiseaso, it is not astonishing to hear it stated that
| there seems to be a most effective quarantine against
it becoming an epidemic,—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
General George. W. Goctlials believes that coal con
sumers have been gouged, and so far no coal con
sumer has risen to try to change the General’s mind.

If It Fits—
If a word to the wise is -sufficient,
I it looks as if wives considered their
j husbands a long way3 from wise.
Most any wife is willing to help
her husband-spend his money.
Tiie reason a ‘man gets so little
sympathy at homo is because his
wife thinks bis job at tho office is
mere child’s iplay compared to the
housework she 'has to do.
Tiie secret sorrow of every wife’s
life is that she did have sense
enough to wait a littlo longer in see
i if she couldn't have done better.
A woman doesn’t care to appear
! holier than othe.rs, all she wants is
1 to look better dressed.
What good is it, wo’d like to know,
for girls to wear these new silk
stockings that givo the appearance
of no stockings at all, if they cover
’em up with the long skirts?
It we had our'1 way, the one place
we never would go is broke.
Some husbands, are so used to h iv
j ing t'helr wives think for them that
i if they’d lose their wives they’d sim
I'Pky lose their minds.
The ancients used to go to the old
