CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER s LA AR THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. atche CO-OPERATE WITH THE SCHOOLS. The declaration of President Faulkner of the Chamber of Commerce that the best results from the schools are obtained when there is complete co- operation among the teachers, the parents and the civic organizatiol is not susceptible of successful disputation. It is literally and in spirit true. The school is the cornerstone of pro civilization. The active men and women of the next generation will be the boys and girls now at school. Com- plete co-operation between the teachers of the boys and girls at school d those who are directing the affairs of the present generation counts for continuity and cohesive progress. The people should support the public schools whole heartedly and without mental reservation. ‘There ought, also, to be complete co-operation with the parochial and the Government schools. They, tog, aire leading to the light the young minds that 1 be very important to the future of Alaska and cur community. The best thing that one generation does is to prepare the next generation to succeed it—to be better than it has been. No better way to do that exists than to co-operate in every pos- sible way with the teachers and those who control the schoois, for that is where the youth get prepara- tion for the task that it must face sooner than we are able to realize essive LIKES EDITORIAL CHAIR BETTER THAN SENATORIAL SEAT. It has been said that when one once has served in the United States Senate he is never quite happy in any other station. The almost constant efforts of so many that have served there and retired on one account or another to get back again would seem to corroborate this belief. But there is one man in the United States who served six active years in the Senate who does not want any more of it—not just yet, at least. That is former Senator Luke Lea of Tennessce. Senator Lea was the youngest man in the Senate when he first went there before he was 32. He had had eight brilliant years as a Nashville lawyer following eight brilliant years at college before he became a Senator. But he had become a Nashville publisher and editor, and when he retired from the Senate he acquired morning and evening papers' at Memphis, and to i his three papers he devoted his time and talents. It was not long before he found a niche that appealed to him with greater force than the United § States Senate. It has been more than a dozen "; years since he*was a Senator and though he has only just turned 50 he prefers to be a news- paper man to returning to the Senate. Gov. Horton appointed him to fill the vacancy caused by the re- cent death of Senator Tyson and he declined to accept. e MANLESS MACHINES AND FARM WORK. The Agerican farmer of 50 years from now will sit in an office before an electric switchboard and control automatic plows, cultivators and harvest- ers which will produce his crops for him without the aid of a single field laborer. These are the interesting predictions made by C. R. F. Smith, widely known agricultural engineer of Iowa State College, in the September issue of The Farm Journal, of Philadelphia, noted agricul- tural monthly. Discussing the development of automatic machin- ery which already has reached the practicable stage, Mr. Smith declares: The great revolution in agricultural methods of the past 50 years will prove small in comparison with the revolution that will take place in the next 50 years. Automatic farm machinery which runs without constant human supervision will be widely used. Field markers will be lo- cated so that all machines necessary for field operations will be guided by long arms attached to these monuments. Such machines will be able to work all night if necessary, thus doing the work of two or three man-driven machines, The Farm Journal's writer points out. Their forerunner, which has already proved successful, is a manless plow in use at Iowa + Btate College which, after being steered across the field to make the first furrow, guides itself auto- matically by a guide wheel which follows the last furrow plowed until the field is completed. ‘The greatest aid to super-farming in the future, and one whose realization is near at hand, will be @ soil-tilling machine which will move over the field mixing and pulverizing soil, organic material and plant food in a single operation, Mr. Smith believes. “Under the present system of seed-bed the plant food it contains” he shows. h a machine would pulverize its material particles so fine that all plant feod will be ‘available the same year.” ‘all suc 1y T 4 | | i Daily Alaska Empire .

The Salmon Treaty Again. (Vancouver, B. C., Province.) Some of the opponents of the Fraser River mon Treaty between Canada and the United ates have not been any too scrupulous in their statement of its provisions. On the one hand, they have made a great deal of play out of the fact that the waters of the Puget Sound, properly so . are not included in the provisions of the treaty. On the other hand, they persistently ignore the fact that Canadian and American representa- tion on the International Fisheries Commission— to be created under the treaty—will be equal in numbers and authority. It is important that the real facts about the treaty shall be widely known, and to this end it is necessary that such misstatements should be countered. The treaty is described on its face as for “the rehabilitation and protection of the sock- eye salmon of the Fraser River system.” It has been endorsed with the strong approval of the Provincial Government. It has been signed at Washington. It waits the approval of the Parlia- ment of Canada, and, as we believe, for the sake of a great industry, it ought to receive it at the next session at Ottawa. Let us examine it in these par- ticulars. The answer to the quibble—for that is what it is—that the Puget Sound is not specifically men- tioned in the treaty, is that the sockeye salmon of the Fraser do not frequent, nor are they taken, in the waters of the Sound, and there is conse- | quently no reason for including it by specific men- tion. The treaty is explicit to include all those wat- ers, Canadian and American, in which Fraser River sockeye salmon have ever been caught. The inten- tion of the opponents of the treaty is not hard to seck in this matter. It is the vernacular custom of the salmon fishermen to refer to all those waters, just south of the boundary line, and where the American fishermen, in the last twenty years, caught 70 per cent. of all the sockeyes seeking the Fraser, as the Puget Sound. As a matter of strict defini- tion, as it is to be seen on all the maps and charts, and as it is properly recognized by the treaty, these sockeye-frequented waters are not part of the Puget Sound at all. But to tell the Candian salmon fishermen, what is literally true, that the new treaty does not touch the Sound, is virtually to tell him that the treaty discriminates to the disadvantage of Canada, and in favor of the United States. And this is to tell him something that is not true at all, and that creates an unfair prejudice against the treaty in his mind. As to the other point, the constitution of the commission which is to work the treaty, the treaty seem to be as fair to each of the contracting nations as the warmest patriot of either could reasonably ask. The commission is always to consist of an equal number of Canadians and Americans, three of each. The Canadian members may be anybody at all, appointed by the Governor-General-in- Council. The American members, to be appointed by the President of the United States, must include the Commissioner of Fisheries of the United States. There is to be no casting vote. Nothing can be done by the commission if the Canadian members are against it. Unless, therefore, the Government of Canada is going to nominate men who, either by dishonesty or inefficiency, will connive at the prejudice of Canadian interests, there is no reason to fear that Canada will suffer by the workings of this treaty. —— Alaska Progressing. (Seattle Times.) Alaska wins another point in its fight for de- velopment. Funds authorized by Secretary of the Interior (Wilbur will rush work on the Mount Mc- Kinley National Park Highway so that it will be completed with two years, giving easier access to this scenic wondeland. The magnificence of the Territory as a tourist attraction is forcing a recogni- tion of its needs that other resources have had a hard time arousing. Not only is it possible now to buy meals and dyspepsia cures in the same drug stores, but a local pawnshop shows saxophones and shotguns in the same window.—(Detroit News.)

The little black clock jumped n and Peggy and John did the The horse turned back to- home, racing for all he was | swif ward worth “What are we going to do?” asked Peggy. | “Why did you let the horse go?” John asked. , It seemed rather dreadful to be |left alone on a great prairie, with lonly the little black clock. The legs of the little black clock were not particularly strong looking, nor {did he look as though he could do |much to help them if danger came their way. The little black clock motioned to each of them to sit down, .and, putting one of his funny hands on each, he said: “Don't be frightened. I will never, never let harm come to you. “We have had so much excite- ment with the wonderful dance the Indians gave that I thought we'd Jjust rest here while I tell you just a little more about myself and of all the good times we can have together.” "jolly, happy, friendly face of the clock they knew they need never |be frightened again. “It was long before either of you were born that I stopped going” the clock said. “It was a little before 7 one evening when I was wishing I could go back to a very nice afternoon I had had, that I was offered the magic. “But keeping the regular time or any time at all except the regular time.” “What was the person like who brought you the magic?” John asked. “Won't you tell us?” Peggy added. “Why, yes—I will!” the clock told them. ———— Have you tried vne Fve o'Clock Dinner Specials at Mabry's Cafe?
