Dear ftllow man, feeble la the
intellect and wobbly in your gait, us
Me all are more or less in this vale
of tears, if you would be reasonably
happy, don't spend time In getting
sonebody's goat, or slipplug some
thing over on some one. Getting
the other fellows goat but Injures
yourself and does him some barm,
therefore you are both losers.
It is strange, passing strange,
aud pity 'lis 'tis true, that men of
kiru heart, those who would not
needlessly set foot upon a worm,
will conspire and watch the hour
when they may lay bare the soul
of a brother and sting it like an
adder.
Lovely a omen, too, who weep at
the sickuess of a cat, will tear open
the heart of a sister and peddle its
pulsing secrets to the gossiping ears
of the world.
Poor, human patchwork, you can
not get even with anyone. When
you think you are getting even, you
are falling, and each attempt to get
even takes you a step further down
until you are even ouly with sorrow
and wretchedness.
We know many men who are
s nee rely anxious for the signing of
peace and arbitration treaties be
tween nations, that war may no
longer redden the land with blood,
yet they hold enmity against their
neighbor, or their townsman, and
spend hours in trying to get his
goat. Men are but units of the
iK.tion, and in their little world
they are as responsible, and as
uuBwerable to God for their mia
deds, as are the multitudes that
get the goats of other multitudes
Get no ;aan's goat.
Slip notning over on anyone.
You can t get even if you would.
You mav rise above, or you may
fall below but there is no equality
vhere revenge is the acting force.
The island of Crete was finally
rvacuated h? the protecting powers.
Great Britain, Russia, France, and
Italy, last week and the Greek flag
was hoisted amid enthusiastic dem
onstrations by the Cretans. The
British cruiser Yarmouth landed a
detachment of bluejackets and
marines iu Suda bay, and these
men hauH down the flags of these
powers which have flown since
1S98, as well as the flag of Turkey,
with full military honors. The
flags were handed over to the con
suls of the respective countries,
that of Turkey being placed to
charge of the German consulate.
A report comes from Haines that
C. W Hockett Is a candidate for ap
pointment to the marahalahip of the
First division of Alaska. Mr.
Hockett has a wide acquaintance
with promluent Democratic leaders
and has had a police experience
that would make him an Invaluable
officer as a federal marshal. For
years he served on the police force
ot Chicago, and at two of the Nation
pi Democratic conventions held in
that city he was chosen as a special
body guard for William Jennings
Bryan, with whom he is well ac
quainted.
For years he has had personal re
lations with Mayor Carter Harrison
of Chicago, who will doubtless use
his powerful Influence in securing
ihe appointment of Mr. Hockett.
He is an Alaskan of long years res
idence and a Democrat frim birth.
His entrance in the filed will cause
a flutter among the aspirants al
ready there.
President Taft never appeared so
great as when retiring from office.
Then Taft became Taft again, and
smiled and Joked about his failures,
and forgot them. By the honest
acknowledgement that he was prone
to take life too easy and was what
iome night call lazy, he voiced
something that we all feel, and then
ne understood the man. During his
term of office he was Inclined to
permit those who were close to
him to influence his actions, and his
advisers, not always being as hon
est as cimself, got him into lots of
trouble through their selfishness; it
was then he came in for blame.
Taft is a much better citizen than
he is president, and would be a
good president were all men honest,
but they are not, and President Taft
did not know how to throw out the
politicians and crooks, so he vicar
iously suffered for them.
China never had but one bank
failure. They took every one con
aected with it into the streets and
chopped their heads off. Since
then they have had no more fail
ures. Might well be applied here.

Our Real Race
Suicide Problem
By E. E. RITTENHOU5E. Expert on the Conservation
of Human Life
F are not only reducing the fertility of oar race and also
shortening the span of life, but we are permitting at least
650,000 American livea to be destroyed annually which
we could SAVE by the application of simple and well
known sanitary and other PRECAUTIONS. This is OUR REAL
RACE "SUICIDE PROBLEM.
We have made progress in preventing life waste, but it has been
confined almost wholly to contagious or infectious diseases. At the
same time the death rate from the degenerative diseases of middle
life and old age, against which we have waged no war, has steadily in
creased.
The ECONOMIC LOSS IS STUPENDOUS, but it is INSIG
NIFICANT compared to the misery, suffering, poverty, immorality
and crime which result from the needless sickness and premature
death from which the nation is now suffeering.
In the last analysis the war against preventable disease is a
STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE DOLLAR AND THE DEATII
RATE.
A GIAA'T CLAM
TRAPS A SEA-Gl'IX
A Prince Rupert report says:
While along the north beach sand
the other day. J. H. Park, of Cape
Fife, was attracted by an unusual
cloud of seagulls naking a great
ado over something or other, and
when he started for the spot they
arose with a great chatter and
i headed for the clouds ? all but one.
That one lay flapping Its wings
upon the sand, for Its beak was held
in a vice-like grip by a monster
clam such as are found in the vicin
ity. The clam was too heavy for
the gull to fly away with, and all
lis flapping did not loosen the
clam's grip.
Park pried the shell open with
his hunting knife, whereat the gull
flew away seaward.
