THE PROTECTION OF BEAR
The laws for Alaska are made by
men four thojisand miles awaj' and
of whom not one at five ever saw
the most distant glimpse of Alaska's
shores. The best informed o t them
never spent a year there.
On all the froutiers of the world
bear are considered as being a men
ace and a danger to the settler. They
kilj his pigs and calves; they rob
his caches and his beehives, and do
not at times, hesitate to kill the
owner. In* Norway they have sought
to exterminate them for a thousand
years and they are still found there.
In Pennsylvania they have for two
huudred years offered bounties for
their scalps and they are still extant
there. ?
In Alaska are the largest and niost
ferocious bears in the workl. Instead
of the government offering a bounty
for their sculps, they are protected
by law. If a bear kills a settler's
hogs there is no recourse. The own
er can do nothing. No damages are
provided by law. If the bear kills
the man there is no penalty. If the
man kills the bear and it is out of
season, he is fined for breaking the
law.? C. L. Andrew* in Alaska-Yu
kon Magazine, August .Number.
The above remarks by Mr. Andrews
who by the way has lived many
years in Alaska and is well qualified
to speak authoritatively on any sub
ject pertaining to the great North
Indicate in a fair way the attitude
of the federal gov eminent toward the
neetis and wants of this country.
Just so long as Alaska is govern
ed by the vTa.^s Ignorance which ob
tains in general throughout the States
about Alaska, just so long will such
vicious legislation be enacted for Al
aska. The idle rich would have this
country conserved as one great game
preserve. Our resourcs must lie
buried and inert and our homes de
spoiletl, that a few may enjoy some
brief months of sport. Oh, wonder
ful science of conservation.
BRAVE AND HONEST
The country likes I>r. Wiley, the
head of the pure food crusading or
ganization in the federal government,
because tt knows he is brave and
knows he is honest. He has proved
both of these qualities beyond doubt
If Dr. Wiley had been 1b any sense
lacking in courage he could never
ha\e faced the storms he has brought
about his ears. If ho ha-.! not been
a natural aud iudoutitable fighter,
he woukl have been discouraged and
worn out long ago.
If l>r. Wiley had not been honest
he would never have fought as he
has against powerful and wealthy in
terests struggling desperately to
thwart huu aud stop the work he
has been doing. It would have been
easy for a crooked man In his po
sition to get taint<>4 money. Only a
man who couldn't be bought would
ever have held to the course Dr. Wi
ley has taken.
Those conclusions are plain logic
and common sense. They are the
fixed belief of the American people,
and it will be impossible to change
them by any charge* of playing fast
and looee with the letter of the laws
for the sake of getting results desired
in fighting against impure food and
drugs. ? Portland Telegram.
