Conservationists of the “lunatic fringe” type who have been endeavoring to lock up Alaska for a bear reserve have been trying to convince the country that the brown bear is just as friendly as a “St. Bernard dog.” One of the most persistent propon- ents of this silly proposition—John M. Holzworth of New York—went to a New York zoo and entering a bear cage fed the animal therein from his hands. Luckily he came to no harm and got his picture spread in the rotogravure sections of the Sunday newspapers. A few days ago, Thomas Earl, an animal keeper at the Brookside Zoo in Cleveland, Ohio, undertook to emulate Mr. Holzworth. Unarmed he went into the den of a brown bear with a breakfast of raw meat, carrots and bread for the bear, which had been named Sunshine because of its normally even good temper. Earl locked the door behind him. He attempted to force Sunshine into the pit where he was ordinarily fed and the bear turned on him. He circled Earl's shoulders with one paw and with the other clawed him to death. Another keeper ran to Earl's aid but the locked door prevented any rescue. Finally two deputies fired five shots with revolvers and succeeded in killing the animal. Two of the bullets hit Earl but an inquest, held later, showed he was dead at the time. Mr. Holzworth, and others like him, have sought to convince the country that the brown bear is harmless; that unless attacked himself, or alarmed through surprise or other unusual stance, he never attacks a human being. The death of Earl proves the fallaciousness of their argument. In this case, the man was hot a stranger to the bear which was so good-natured usually that he was named Sunshine. Earl did not attack the bear. He came, as undoubtedly he had done innumerable times, bearing food. He did not surprise the brute, nor was there anything transpired out of the ordi- pary routine. Yet the bear turned on this man whom he knew and without warning tore him to death with his claws. This merely substantiates the position taken by Alaskans on the brown bear out of a knowledge that the casual visitors here cannot hope to acquire. Every bear is potentially dangerous. Today, he may not be a menace, Instead, most days he may not be. But any day he is likely to be. ,He was not made to be a pet and no amount of contact with man will turn him into a companion that can be trusted with impunity. That is not a cause for his de- struction, however. He has an economic value to Alaska in his wild state and a scientific value to the whole nation which ,are important enough to justify his preservation. But no one should fail to realize his potential menace nor neglect adequate measures for self protection should the need arise. That was the real cause of Earl's death. some NO BRITISH COLUMBIA ELECTION, Announcements from members of the Conserva- tive Government of British Columbia, which has been in power since the summer of 1928, make it clear that it has no intention of going before the electorate this year for a test of its strength. About six weeks ago, Premier Tolmie indicated there would be no election in the Province in 1932, However, rumors continued to spread that a campaign was approaching. These became so pronounced that two weeks ago Attorney General Pooley was constrained to deny them categorically. It seems that about all the election excitement that our nearest Canadian neighbors can look forward to next Fall will be the national campaign in the United States. This, from early advance steps, will be warm enough to furnish thrills for both this country and Canada. LABELS TELL IMITATIONS USED IN MAKING CANDIES. Boys and girls who, 20 years ago, went to the store for a bag of stick candy, gumdrops, licorice, or other confectionery are now buying most of their sweetmeats in boxes or in transparent wrap- pers, says J. W. Sale, of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. In those days, says Sale, there was little to be found on confectionery labels which would aid the buyer in making a purchase. But candy labels are more informative today. “Chocolate-coated candies, creams, and fruits, generally bring the highest price of any confection on the market” Sale says. “And when the word schocolate’ appears on the label the may be sure that genune chocolate was _used. Cheaper ingredients, such as hydrogenated " goconut ofl, are sometimes used to adulterate choco- late coatings. When these substitutes are whole- 4s usually the case, Federal food officials to their use, provided the label plainly ts also go into the manufacture it is the duty of the Federal Administration to see that only nuts are used.

The pure food with a quantity-of-contents statement. Any other declarations made upon the label must be truthful. Packaged hard candies, such as fruit drops, or jelly beans with fruit centers, are also on sale. When the label on the confection bears the name of a fruit, unqualified, the flavor used must actually have been derived from that fruit If imitation flavors are used, the name of the fruit must be pre- ceded by the word “imitation.” eled The per capita circulation of money in the United States increased $1.75 during the month of June, Government statisticians announce with pride.

It impossible to understand the almost uni- versal admiration and veneration which Father Francis P. Duffy attracted to himself if he is re- membered as a war-time chaplain only. To be sure, the bright, particular.luster which attached to his name derived much of its initial brilliance from his iheroic efforts in the service spiritual, and also very personal and practical, of the men of the “Fighting 169th” during the dark hours in France when the |fate of half the world hung in the balance, but :t was also the less dramatic and less emphasized services to the people of New York which he per- formed as parish priest which endeared him ‘o countless thousands. In the words of Cardinal IHayes. he was in fact “the ideal army chaplain and jthe ideal parish priest,” and in estimating the churchman the cassock should not be forgotten for the military tunic. Father Duffy, despite his Canadian birth, was 2 New Yorker of New Yorkers. “If anybody sticks a pin into me,” he liked to say, “he’ll find that I am very American, very Irish and very Catholic, but if he’ll leave me alone, I'm just plain human.” As a war-time chaplain he “was not a chaplain to Catholics alone. . . . could not obtrude his religion upon those who did not share it,” never shrank from the discomforts and hardships endured by the enlisted men, but from which his position would have exempted him. As peacetime pastor of Holy Cross Church, in West Forty-second Street, he dis- played the same insatiable capacity for being of ervice to those who had need of him, and hundreds of acts of personal charity and kindness are held {in grateful remembrance by as many who benefited by them and became his friends. In any walk of life men of Father Duffy’s in- tense enthusiasm and vibrant personality are rare. He had that transcendental faith in men and in his religion which enabled him to overlook anything but the dominant characteristics, the essential quali- ties of both. He did net think it unseemly that a man of the cloth should partake of a very great gusto for the things of this world. His passing is a loss to the Catholic Church, to New York and to all who knew him, just as his memory must be a satisfaction to all of these. is Interdependence. (New York wcrld-Telegram.) Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler in his Fourth of July address before the American Society in London pointed out that magnificent as were the Magna Charta and our Declaration of Independence, the time has come for a declaration of interdependence of the nations of the earth. “Our system which we propose is elastic,” he said, “this co-ordination of independent units, each with its own point of view, each with its own traditions, each with its own language, if you please, each with its own form of political and religious faith in matters of detail, but working together as units with one great purpose—to keep this world in peace, to keep this world free, and, so far as human effort can do it, to keep this world prosper- ous and happy.” Dr. Butler voices not an ideal but an actual trend. Both major parties in Chicago wrote into their platforms unprecedented planks urging American participation in conferences of powers in case ,of breach of the Kellogg Pact. To elarify this idea Dr. Butler’s own Twentieth Century Fund Committee on Economic Sanctions yesterday urged immediate initiation by the United States of a protocol to the Pact of Paris under which signatories may vote simultaneous embargoes upon pact violators without the use of armed force or entangling alliances. The Democrats urged World Court participation, a tariff conference, arbitration. Interdependence is a big word in size and im- portance. That it is being recognized as the twen- tieth century corollary of independence shows that the insensate nationalism stirred by the World War is dying out.

Lucci, wood. “We find the room crowd- ed.” He turned to Nancy, who, repres- sing a start of surprise, rose in- stantly and put her arm through his. “Why not, indeed?” agreed‘che cripple. “I think it is duly re- corded in the ‘Book of Etiquette’ that the young couple should in- variably sit for an hour or two gazing starry-eyed at the moon- light, if any.” Jerry stood there in hesitation, | his self-control worn to a thin edge |by the subtle taunts. If Ashwood had only been of Lucci's build! What pleasure he would take in beating him down! Nancy’s slight back to reason. He bowed mock- ingly and followed his wife out into the darkness. Hamilton swept his seven rows of cards together, placed the deck meticulously in the upper left cor- ner of the table and, murmering a conventional word of apology,left the room. The wide, comfortable porch, in the utter quiet of the tropic night was like a haven of peace after the throbbing intensity of the liv- ing room. Nancy stepped to the rail, silently surveying the long, sparkling path of moonlight across the black waters. “What do you think Ashwood will do? Jerry?” she whispered. “I don't know, Nancy,” he an- swered honestly. “It hit him hard That’s the only thing T'm sure of. T'm getting so I don't know wha” anyone will do. We're all strained to the snapping point. Word has percolated through the crowd that Ashwood is flying away from here tomorrow. Theres been a lot of activity at the hangar all after- noon.

If 1 were positive he still had it in his mind I'd walk right in there and do it now.” “Please, Jerry?” she whispered. “Aren't things bad enough now without your adding to them before it becomes necessary.” He made no reply, being afraid that if he spoke at all, it would be to say too much. He dared not even look at her cameo-like profile lest he loose the words which trembled upon his lips. For some moments they stood there in silence, At last: “Nancy—you—you aren't worry- ing about—tonight, are you?” “I don’t know, Jerry,” she con- fessed, hardly above @ whisper. was watching Ashwood's face when he listened to your announcement He's going to make it as difficult as he can for us, if only out of a perverse wish for revenge.” “Well,” he ventured, cursing himself for his fumbling about in a difficult situation, “we'll have to married, you know, business won't do any good.” to girls as he could to men? 1If he| were talking to a fellow now he'd| have no trouble.

A dcor in the side of the long, low §‘buumng was opened. The man {hissed again. There was a mo- ment's pause, then Jerry saw the crouching figure rise and enter the hangar. The door was closed.

Steve is a personable chap with a wealth of ability and a host of friends. And if you are bound to vote Democratic, a vote for him will be well spent. Steve favors modification of the Volstead Act in such manner as to restore to the States the power and authority to act with re- ference to intoxicating beverages, with the power in Federal and State Government to derive a benefit by taxing same. He opposes the League of Na- tions and the World Court. He believes our tariff legislation is fallacious, governmental cost too high; deplores hiding of ill-gotten gains of bootleggers and stock gamblers in tax-exempt securities as a menace to this generation, and lets go a turret salvo against the manipulations of foreign bankers. If Steve comes this way, hear him. He is an orator of ability, a square shooter and a human dynamo.
