AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT PEOPLE
(JET NO WHERE.
There are many influential people in the United
Gtates now who are enthusiastic members ot theii
political party when it is not in power and who an
i-ilf-styled "progressives,” but in reality usually in
turgents, when their paryt is in power. On the othei
hand we have lots of people who support or co-operate
most of the time with the party in power to such an
extent that they, too, are sometimes regarded as nc
party men.
The San Francisco Bulletin calls attention to Mr
Hearst, whom it say is always a Democrat excepi when
the Democratic I’arty is in power and bearing the bur
den of Government, and then lie with the opposition.
Senators Johnson, Borah, La Follctte and others bear
a relation to the Republican Party similar to that of
Hearst to the Democratic.
The strange tliiug in this connection is the fact
that those who are always against the Government
no matter to which parly ie belongs, usually classify
themselves as "progros; ives," and rail on those whe
co-operate with the government as reactionaries
and allies of a "ty-pa'rtlean" special interests com
filiation.
The fact of the matter is that those who always
oppose the Government are usually merely obstruc
tionists and they are often destructionists. Those ot
constructive disposition, those who are trying to get
the government eomwhere, are usually men who can
co operate with others. They do not permit egotism
or vanity or self-interest to Interfere with their desire
to serve and to aid In carrying out as much of the
program ot the government as they can approve
They are the men who r ally count for progress
They will aid those in power to go as far as possible
and when the Government must give way to others
they work for the accomplishment of the next step.
On the ether hand those who are always against
the Government rarely accomplish anything Import
ant. Usually their only effect is to keep people sim
ply restless and milling about in a circle, getting
no where.
SOME SCHOOL “DON’TS."
The addreec delivered Iby Mrs. Trella Bullock of
Ketchikan at the Parent-Teachers Association meet
ii)K In Juneau was net only instructive but it con
tained a whole lot of round advice that it would hr
■well for others as well as members of that verj
useful organization to heed.
Tho meat of the address was summarized in a lisl
of "don'ts,” which follow:
Don't interfere with the school admin
istration. Use your vote.
Don't interfere with the school curri
culum.
Don t. bring grievances to the meetings;
talk them over with the teacher or principal
Don't forget that the teacher is taking
your place to educate and help your child’s
future life. The teacher is second only to
the mother nr an example, thus she should be
of the highest type of womanhood.
Don't neglect the educational value or
our meetings.
Don't forget that the "child" is our sole
object. Whether our particular child gains

The Department of Agriculture In a recent bn

agricultural development in the Fairbanks district
Alaska. The item In the bulletin referring to tl

On Trail of the Wolf.
(Dawson Nows.)
Much agitation has been manifested through the
press of late as to whether wolves in Canada attack
and devour hitman beings. The pros and cons have
keen stoutly defended. He that as it may, Senator
Staunton, of the Canadian upper chamber, is camping
on the trail of a wolf (which unquestionably preys upon
the genus homo, and the Senator has launched a well
aimed campaign to wipe out that peculiar stripe of
beast of prey.
The Senator has a bill before Parliament which
seeks to put a stop to the sale of stock in swindling
propositions. The Senator draws attention to the
fact millions have been taken from the public by
stock solicitors, and he would require every one
offering Btock for sale to publish their announcement
in the press or by printed circular, or have the sale
authorized in writing by Provincial or Dominion
! authorities. Personally he would require those
! authorities to investigate nnd In degree mak ■ them
i responsible at least to the extent of first Investigating
| and refusing certificates to those who could not show
their bona tides and prove they have n meritorious
i proposition.
! Throughout the breadth and length of the land
thousands of people know too well what It is to be
stung by fake promoters. Oftentimes they offer their
alluring propositions with no means for the public to
obtain authentic information. In a degree (he people
are to blame, themselves, for jumping at proposals
j savoring of some sly scheme of heating the others
who are not supposed to ho in the know to the
I prize. On the other hand, widows and orphans
and others who thoughtlessly listen to glib promoters
| spend their ail and soon afterward become public
(charges and others are forced Into the criminal ranks
by their overwhelming losses.
Hlue sky laws have been formulated in many
countries the last few years, aimed at the fake pro
moters, and it is well. Yukoners, as well as others,
know what it is to have glittering propositions put
up to them. Hundreds of thousands have been taken
out of Klondike for “investment” in lots in towns,
steel plants, new stock companies and othre proposi
tions which never materialized and never will. Had
! that money been invested in first-class securities
through the aid of some reliable financial institution
| or agency those who earned tlie original sum by
! sweat of the brow might now have a return that
i would ho a bulwark to them in their old age. Many
who bit at tlie gilded propositions did not even have
a fair gambling chance or the reasonable opportunity
| to be expected when one grubstakes a man to go
into the hills in hopes of making a new mineral
at rike.

He Had a Fair Trial.
(Boston Nows Bureau.)

institutions can split an average American jury six

l iam Z. Foster bad a fair trial, llis defense was con

i with the most delicate regard for the rights of all
j parties and be delivered an able and discriminating
charge which favored the defendant if it favored any
body. The jury—nine farmers, a grocer, a watchman
at a railroad crossing, and ono women, the wife of a
shop superintendent—made a representative cross sec
tion of the Michigan community in which the trial
was held, and their even split is probably a pretty
accurate token of the division of opinion the country
over as to whether the accused could justly be held
guilty under the Michigan syndicalist law.
^ cs, William Z. Foster had a fair trial. Ho was
generously treated by court and jury. The net profit
to the nation at large is this—that the whole public
