ADVANCEMENT
SCIENCE BE
DISCUSSED
PASADENA, Cal., June 6 (by Asso
elated Press).—An Interesting anc
significant feature of the meeting o1
the Pacific division of the Americai
Association for the Advancement o:
Science to be held at Pasadena, June
19, 20, 21 and 22 will be symposiun
on “Scientific Education in a Democ
racy” arranged under seven topics
each presented by a speaker of dis
tine t ion.
Discussing plans for this, a scien
tist arranging the program said:
“The experience of the war hai
served to bring science into the fore
ground. Seized upon and exploits:
by a medieval monarchy for the ag
grandlzement of the few and the de
struction of liberty and democracy, it
was realized before long that science
is after all common property, and
flourished best where greatest free
dom exists.”
It was presently found that our
scientific resources only needed to be
mobilized and coordinated to vastly
excel the vaunted science of Germany,
where every effort in research was
under the surveillance of the state and
directed to serve the purposes of a
military oligarchy. The winning of
the war was distinctly a triumph of
: science, and a demonstration of demo
i cratic efficiency.
“Science has ever been fighting
■ against restraint. The very essence
, of scientific progress is freedom: free
■ dom and opportunity for the individual
mind to grow and expand. The great
• est influence in thiB world today that
promises to utterly destroy tyranny
i and autocracy wherever found is
- science. Truly the hope and safety
1 of a democracy lies in the encourage
- ment that is given to scientific re
search for from this every real eaten
slon of liberty must come.
“The promotion of research and the
dissemination of scientific informatior
should then be the chief concern of t
democratic government for througl
these means alone will the people
work out their problems and come intc
their heritage.”

the present time only $30,000 hav<
been received, leaving a balance du<
of about a like sum. The club hai
received a telegram from Mr. McPher

MANY MEN BEING ADDED
CREWS AT KENNECOTT
Men are being added to the crews
of the Kennecott Copper Company’s
mines at the westward right along,
according to W. S. Morris, foreman
of the Bonanza mine for the Kenne
cott company.
“Though the Kennecott company
laid off a number of men immediately
after the armistice was signed,” Mr.
Morris said, “they are now giving
employment to ben whenever they
seek work and continually increasing
their force.
Mr. Morris has been spending the
last two months in California. On
his way north, Mr. Morris visited in
Butte, Montana.
"Butte is quiet,” said Mr. Morris,
"and the mines are not working near
ly their full crew.
"General opinion regarding the cop
' per market is that it will be but a
1 matter of five or six months before
' the copper industry is in full swing
again. The end of the war brought
a slump in the demand for copper,
a drop in the price of the metal and
left the market overloaded, but this
condition is only temporary and
those who are following the copper
situation see an adjustment of affairs
not many months away.”
Mr. Morris, who is staying at the
Zynda hotel, will leave for the west
ward on one of the next boats.—Ju

Don, the work dog belonging to the
J. W. Martin Company, and one of the
best known dogs on Douglas island
was killed last week. He was one of
the greatest fighting dogs in town and
bore the marks and scars of many
fierce conflicts upon his coat. On ac
count of his crippled condition due to
his ring activities and a skin affliction
it was found necessary to kill him
as he had grown helpless.
