T'ROY - - - EDITOR AND MANAGER th Ma and MEMBER OFr ASSOCIATED The Ass 1l exch nae for repu cw ALASKA CIRCULATION NTEE > BE LARGER| THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER F ICATI According to the opinion of Government “'“‘"1 ar the law makes it a crime to sell brown b kins in Alaska even after they have been manu-| r useful articles. The| factured into rugs or ¢ law seems to have the object in view of reserv=| . least game | ing the brown bears for the sport of hunters and for exhibition purposes in We have no quarrel with the big game hunt- p | museums, ¢ | | 1 k | ers and realize the advertising value of hav | Alasks hibited. However, every Alaskan has a right under the law to kill his quota of brown bear: specimens in museums, and elsewhere ex- and any provision of the law that deprives him of an opportunity to make the most of his kill| is not fair Any animal, game or fur of class, that is killed within the terms of the ought to be the property of the man who takes the animal, and he ought to be permitted to make the best possible use, to himself, of it In this as in other things, the market demands ought to be the measure of the best use | And this leads to another phase: Brown bears are a menace to the development of the Terri tory, and in those parts of the country where| ricutlural or other development is in people’ should be encouraged to kill| them The best way to encourage them to do progr this service is to make it profitable for them to do s0. A good market for brown bear- skins is a lot better and less costly than to offer a bounty. | The absurdity of the law that makes it un-| lawful to sell brown bear skins in Alaska is made 50 apparent that the blind may see it hy the fact that Alaska brown bear skins may be sold| lawfully in the States. The law should be amended QUESTION OF BRITISH GOOD FAITH.| There is mo doubt but that British states men have no desire that theif country have a larger nayy than the United. States, Viscount Grey in a recent address declared that the m uring of mil strength beTween the United States and B Britons. The have a na in has no part in the minds of sle purpose of the British is to » enough to protect and guard at Britain's vast merchant lar the interest of marine and her far-flung colonies. There was a time when it was the British to have a mavy so large that it could at any point on any, ocean more and| polic mob; stronger ships than any other two countries could| assemble at the same point. But that policy was long ago abandoned—at 1 t as far as America was concerned. That was shown by the abandon-| ment of naval stations at Victoria and Halifax Great Britain and Canada have not been at all alarmed because for many years the United States has always had an overwhelming fleet of pital ships and other men-of-war within striking dis- tance of Canadian ports on the Atlantic and Pacific. They reflize that American warships are not a menace to the safety of that country. There is no reason in the world why we should question the good faith of the British representatives at Geneva, A “SMITH BLOC” PROPOSED. According to the Bureau of Census there are more than 1,300,000 Smiths in the United States, The Smiths lead those of any other name in the cities of the United States except Chicago and Minneapolis where they are led by thel Johnsons. In Boston they just nose out the Murphys, but in practically every other city they| have a long lead over the nearest competitor, This has led to the suggestion that there ought to be a Smith Bloc in the United States.| The contender, a Smith by the way, declares that| the Smith family is not getting the recognition that its numbers suggest that it ought to have. There is about the same reason for a Smith Bloe as there is for a lot of other blocs we have. A Smith Bloc, or a Red Haired Blos Six-Foot Bloc¢, or a Left-Handed Bloc would be just as sensible as, and a lot less harmful than, an Italian-American Bloe (or any other hyphen- ated bloc), a Methodist or Cafholic, or Jewish, or Elk, or any other bloc that is not organized as a political party. NOT ALL WETS BY ANY MEANS. After all it is not fair to refer to all those who oppose the Volstead Act as “wets,” Many of the driest people, including members of anti- _alcoholic socfeties, are opposed to the Volstead Act. Thousands of people who would vote to ‘have their own precinct, town, County or State ry are opposed to having States of one section {hop off fre | | | | | | indicate a reason for his retraction and apolo [ i others is that of a so-called ing gleaned from the experiences of the wisdom pertaining to the movements of the h enly bodies and their relations to intricate finan cial problems, promises to solve the mysteries lof the stock market.

Those The Blue and the Gray. (Hastings, Neb., Tribune.) It is good to know that the chances are most favorable for a joint reunion of the Civil War veterans, of both North and South, to be held this year. The movement was started some time ago by L. D. Richards of Fremont, and has now pro- gressed to that stage where it is receiving na- tional attention. No time should be lost in bringing about the proposed reunion, as it will not be many years before there will be no wearers of the blue or ¢, s0 to speak Such a reunion is sure to cement the North and South tigher than anything else could do. The Tribune hopes that the joint reunion will be held this year. An Ohio man has figured out that there are 86,000,000 persons who do not beliave in pro- hibition.
