SOCIAL EFFECTS OF SCIENCE. No ohe will deny that inventions like the railroad transmission are three fields among the many which | have changed the nature of home life in Europe and America. Science today is keenly interested in its share of za- tion which may come out of its discoveries. Science, of course, is not wholly to blame for the applications of its researches, for there is the twin problem of exploitation, but science and scientists recognize their responsibility for creating social problems hav- ing the effect of causing instability. University of Wisconsin, h President Glenn Frank declared recently at a faculty meeting that resear that institution should be planned and carried again tying up vessels between Puget Sound and Z Alaska have no moral justification for that act.|OUt in such a way that they will help shorten the For tactical reasons, they might justify the deliber- | “Social lag” between the development of scientific ate breaking of their contract with the operators. But their action cannot be defended on grounds. On June 8, after extended negotiations the strik- ers, longshoremen and others, signed the agreement releasing Alaska shipping.

It gave the International Longshoremen’s Association complete control of work so long as it is able to supply a sufficient moral 1 processes and the growth of social control of them. That is to say that society in general should get the benefits promptly without what President Roosevelt has termed the “destructive influences” which have been so commonly felt in the past. Dr. Frank voiced it in this manner: Scientists at this university should come together in a common and conscious ef- fort to plan their researches that the scien- tific progress of the next quarter-century shall, as far as may be humanly possible, number of competent men.

Members of the Arctic Brother- hood and their friends had packed the Orpheum Theatre at the per- formance dedicated to them by Manager John T. Spickett, who was a member of the newly organ- ized Juneau Camp No. 31. The Grubstate II, Copt. E. D. Beattie, returned to Juneau after an extensive cruise for pleasure to Skagway on the north and Chat- ham Straits on the south. R. H. Stevens, of the First National Bank and Mrs. Stevens were pas- sengers on the craft and enjoyed delightful weather. Mrs. J. C. McBride and her daughter Mariam returned on the City of Seattle from an extended visit in the East most of which time was spent with her parents in Philadelphia. Mrs. C. A. Cross, mother of Mr. McBride, accom- panied Mrs. McBride to Juneau. Mrs. McBride and Mariam had been away six months. Mrs. P. E. Harris and daughter were passengers aboard the City of Seattle for Hawk Inlet where they were to join Mr. Harris and remain until fall. Score of the Sunday's shoot of the Juneau Gun Club resulted in an average of nearly 20 out of a possible 25. The score was, Trues- dell, 25; Banbury, 23; Smith, 20; King, 20; Carter, 18; Carrigan, 17, and Kaser 15. i ‘Weather for the preceding 24 hours was clear with a maximum temperature of 68 degrees and a minimum of 52.

In neither word nor deed have they violated it. The only accusation made is that Mayor Smith, in attempting to open the port of Seattle to other shipping violated a pledge made to.the unions. He denies making any such promise. Whether he did or not, we do not know. But if he did, that is not a moral justification for the unions to violate the contract which they entered into in good faith with the operators.
