AMCTAHO NAVY SHOULD HE
THE BEST
President Roosevelt, in speaking to
the sailors on the United States battle
ship Louisiana, said, "The fighting
force of the nation must be maintained
In time of peace. It cannot be attained
after the beginning of war."
It should be agreed by everybody
that the president is right. So ion? as
nations look upon the arbitrament of
arms as the last resort for the settle
ment of their dillernces so long will it
b# necessary for this country to be pre
pared for the worst. We do not require
as large an army as does France, or
Germany, or Russia,or any of the other
countries less isolated than are the
United States, but we should have a
well equipped and well trained fojce
large enough to make up a strong army
of Invasion should the occasion to make
war in defense of our rights arise.
Likewise should ths navy be kept up to
the highest point of efficiency and
strong enough to afford protection to
American Interest* everywhere. The
pay and treatment of officers and men
in the artry and navy should be suffi
cient to get and hold thevery best
talent in the country. Our fighting
force should be the best of its si2e in
the world.
To say this much Is not to urge mak
ing the I'nited States a military nation
in the sense that the nations of Europe
are. An effective army of 100,000 men,
or thereabouta (it Is tii.OOO now . and a
navy continuing to grow at the same
ratio as our navy has been growing dur
ing the last score of years could not,
under any ciroumstance, cause the
growth of an unheahhful military spirit
among 90,000,000 of Americans, and it
would put the country in condition to
maintain its rights in almost any
?mergencv until a larger army could be
organized to reinforce it.
STUDYING ALASKAN INDIANS
Some women of Nome have a society
for the purpose of studying and consid
ering the Alaskan Indian' question.
The scope of the society's work in
eludes investigation as to^the capacity of
the Indians, their susceptibility to
training, their habits, temperment and
Industry, the methods of the mission
aries in handling them and their pro
gress under these methods. The so
ciety has devoted J a good deal of time
to original research, and It has under
taken to care for many of the radians
in the neighborhood of its city.
The result up to the present time of |
the society's investigations has been to
reach the conclusion that the Indians
are capable of being nude self-sustain
lng and useful. But It is urged that
they are as children and should have
many years of training in the ways of
civilization. The society fa-ors the
plan of having government agents over
them to teach them to wont, to Keep
clean, to build houses and to husband
their resources.
The result of the investigation of the
women of Nome is a conclusion at
which practical men who have lived
long in Alaska lalmost without excep
tion have arrived. Its soundness is
attested to by the success of the Mtela
kahtla Indians where the methods
recommended have been given practi
eal exemplification.

SWASTIKA"
A;Gooa Luck Charm For
Skagway Ladies
The Swastika is the oldest cross, and
the oldest symbol in the world.
Of unknown origin, in frequent use
in prehistoric times, it historically first
appeared on coins, as early as the vear
315 B C.
The ancients were great astronomers
and it doubtless served as a calender to
them. It has been found in our Indian
Rugs and in the baskets of the Alasica
Indians. It makes a very pretty orna
ment and one beaten out of silver coin
by a native silversmith will doubtless
come as near bringing good luck to the
wearer.
The Swastika has been discovered on
this continent among the ruins oi Mex
ico and central America, and is at the
present time, frequently used by the
Indians of Alaska as an ornament and
amulet.
Found among the relics ot all ages
and peoples, from time immemorial the
Swastika has been cocaidered as a talis
man; a charm, to drive away evil, end
bring good luck, long life and prosperity
to the wearer.
Every lady calling at our
STORE WILL GET ONE OF THESK OOOD
LUCK CHARMS AS A SOUVENIR.
We will give with each 81 purchase
between now and Christmas a ticket
for a beautiful Diamond Ring valued at
$130 for first prize. The second prize
we will give a lady's or men's 15k Cold
Boss, 25 year watch, I5 jeweled Elgin
or Waltham movement.
