STUDENT WORKERS.
A student in an American uni
versity can be successful in study,
sports and social life, even when
compelled to support himself thru
out his college career, according to
the findings of an inquiry conducted
at Harvard. Poverty, the investi
gators report, is not an insuperable
barrier to students who have initia
tive and courage.
The inquiry showed that some
self-supporting students earned $5,
000 or more in their four years at
the university, and that it was not
unusual for a student to earn $3,
000, stand well in his classes and be
a leader in student activities.
One man who earned the latter
sum belonged to four college clubs,
rowed on the .varsity crew and was
among the best-known men at col
lege. Another who earned a sim
ilar amount was an officer of his
class, was elected to three clubs,
sang on the g'lee club, and was
first marshal of Phi Beta Kappa. A
student, who earned his way from
start to finish and was captain of
the university team told the in
quirers that the fact that he was
self-supporting did not, so far as
he knew, exclude him from any of
the club life at college. In fact,
every man interviewed, except two,
said the self-supporting student was
at no disadvantage nor under any
social stigma. On the contrary,
many stated that college men were
likely to admire a man more be
cause he was earning his way.
Some of the occupations which en
abled Harvard men to pay their
way were those of waiter, tutor,
reporter, artist’s model, bookkeeper,
farm laborer, day laborer, organist,
choir singer, clerk, musician in or
chestra, editorial writer, librarian,
social service worker, ticket taker,
athletic coach, physical director, tire
builder, and steward. The easiest
way for a self-supporting student
to earn his expenses with a mini
mum expenditure of time was tu
toring or acting as a tutor-com
panion.
PROFITS IN ENGLAND.
Accusations that both the British
government and Yorkshire spinners
were making “colossal profits" in
wool were made by Mr. Mackinder,
a woolen warehouse man, at a recent
meeting of the Central Profiteering
Committee of London. He said a
committee which investigated the
prices of wool found that the York
shire spinners wer® making from
400 to 3,200 percent over the mar
gin of profit allowed by the gov
ernment.
Members of the profiteering com
mittee complained that the govern
ment was wilfully withholding the
publication of the reports of the
investigating committees. Publica
tion of these reports was demand
ed in a resolution. They predicted
a “howl of execration” when the
public learned the facts
“What is happening in worsted
yarns is happening al^o in cotton
and metals,” said Sidney Webb.
“The safeguard of competition has
been swept away and business is
honeycombed by combinations and
agreements to keep up prices.”

What I Stand For
I am a candida/te for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th, and I stand for the following
principles:
I am not a politician and never ran for office before. I belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction.
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me I will take my orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members, I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and 1
will fight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure I know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe what Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska, I am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods.
J. E. CHOVIIN.

EASTERN FORESTS
HEAVES! LOSERS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The East
ern section of the country and the
Mississippi valley sustain damage
by forest fires far in excess of that
in the West, great as is the devas
tation of timber in that region, the
forest service announces. With an
average annual loss over a period
of three years amounting to $20,
727,917, the region lying east and
south of Ohio, Kentucky and Ten
nessee sustained 32 percent of the
damage. In the Mississippi valley,
exclusive of Mississippi state, the
annual average damage was 61 per
cent of the total. This average for
the Mississippi valley, however, in
cludes the unusually heavy losses in
Minnesota in 1918, which alone ag
gregated $28,000,000.
These facts are cited to show the
great need of more efficient fire
prevention measures, East as well
as West. The reports indicate that
the greatest number of fires were
started by farmers burning brush
and by railroads.
