END THAT FOOLISHNESS PLEASE
While you are about it. pa-s a law for the pro
tection of the prospectors. What do you say
Messres. Legislators; Dc.n‘t you think it time
to change the law that protects the bear so as
to give the prospectors a little protection. Our
game law in that respect is a hu e joke for those
of us who stay at home. It is no joke, however,
with the prospectors.
As the law is today, the black bear, which is
but a playful animal full of curiousty; nothing
more; yet it has no protection by law. It is
otherwise with the brown bear which nature
has created with a disposition like the kaiser an
loves a prospector like a cat loves a mouse. Yet
it is protected by law. Can you beat it?
It has been said that congress when it enacted
that law must have had in mind that Alaska
prospectors should furnish amusements for the
brown bear by playing monkey in climbing up
high trees with a dozen foot brute clawing at the
seat of their pants. After these many years
that this condition has obtained, it would seem
but fair to turn that about. Today if a prospec
tor kills one of those brutes and is detected, he
is fined heavily; but when a bear kills a pros
pector- there is nothing doing. Why not at least
fine the bear? Bears are plentiful while pros
pectors are getting scarce and the brown bear
has killed its share. Yes indeed. our legislature
should pass a law to that effect and congress
would not dare to null it.
ACCORDING TO SIGNS
That the republican parti- leaders and many
of their followers are secretly pleased at the
defeat of the suffrage amendment by a demo
cratic senate, may be said to be conceded by all
who study party manipulations and intrigues.
Likewise, that the democrats of the suoth who
refusedto support the amendment put the kibosh
on their party in the next national campaign,
there are no good reasons to doubt. These views
are freely expressed in the Eastern press. Some
have gone further and have said that the failure
to submit the amendment to the people for'rati
fication, means the giving up the reins of gov
nment at the close of Wilson's administration.
This together with the recent uprising against
the president's plan for a league of nations, give
the republicans something to gloat over, for they
see many meal tickets ahead. And wnht^ bless
ing it would be for the country if'the’ cussed
democrats were turned out to forage for a while.
CART BEFORE THE HORSE
Considering the state of the world today, four!
months after the cessation of hostilities, one;
may be entitled to a suspicion that the peace con !
ference has begun at the wrong end of the world
problem; that instead of trying to settle the thou
sand and one national and international questi j
onsagitating neutral and new born nations, the
firt work should have been the settlement of
peace terms with Germany. It is not necessary
to minimize the difficulties that confront the
peace delegates, but adding up what was to do
and substracting from it what they have done
leaves a large and disturbing reminder.
Germany is the center of all the disturbances
in Europe, if Bolshevik Russia be left out. Ins
teadof taking up the case of Germany and telling
the German people what they must do and what
they may not do, the peace conference has bns
ied itself with the league of nations, with the
diputes between Italy and Jugoslavia, with Po
land. Lithunia, Ukraine, the colonies and other
questions-which. no matter how important they
may be. have not resulted in any diminution of
the European turmoil.
With the purely German questions out of the
way,Europe would be coming daily closer to a
condition of equilibrium, and the peace delegates
couldtake up the various subsidiary questions
and give them their full attention. As it is now',
everything must be settled with reservation, con
tingent upon the peace terms with the central
empires. The central empires are ever on the
brink of anarchy, and unless somthing is soon
done we may have a condition such as prevail
in Russia; we may have more countries withont
government, with whom we cannot do business
Already we are hearing hints that the Paris con
ference may yet have to recognize Lenine. a
most humiliating possibility after all this.
For this condition of affairs Mr. Wilson is
largely responsible, and his responsibility is
strictly personal. The voice of the American
people has never been raisd in advocacy of de
laying the peace treaty with Germany until all
the other problems of Europe were settled. Am
erican ouinion has leaned strongly in the other
direction, even if it was silent and desirous of
doing nothing that might embarrass the presi
dent in Europe. For all his profession of being
the servant of the masses. Mr. Wilson is havin
his own way, and the veryday facts- the occur
rences in Germany, Austria, the Balkans, Polan
popular feeling in Italy and France and among ,,
Czecho Slovaks, all go to show that his way is
not the right way. Marshal Foch is worried
and others in Europe are worried over the Ger
man situation, which if not relieved in the near
future, may well mark the peace conference
down for the greatest failure in history. —P.I.
