T he plan of the chamber of
couiuickc to secme a cuange in
tue piesent metnou 01 caring tor
tne .uasua insane tnrougn giving
vvmespieau puunCity to tne re
puisive leaiures ot me .uornging
siue institution should receive tne
active suppoit 01 every person in
tue temvoiy vvno possesses tile
least spaiK of humane teeiing. if
tne conuitions at iviorningside
weie but one hail as bad as nave
been p.ctmeu uv tnose who have
been connned mere, there would
be ampie excuse lor laising a pro
test anu that we have not uone so
beiuie tins is assuredly a crying
shame to the people 01 the terri
tory—at least to mat portion who
weie avvaie of the awtuiness of
the conditions but who neverthe
less maue no enort to secure a
cuange. irrespective of the
anuses to vvhicn the unfortunate
insane are subjected, the very
system of fanning out the sick
and unfortunate snould be repul
sive to all right thinking people.
Had we an ounce of good red
blood in our veins we would move
heaven and earth to have our
own unfortunates, those who
have lived and worked with us
and who were our friends and
neighbors, taken care of in some
manner at least compatible with
deceny instead of leaving them
to drag out a miserable existence
in the shadow of a veritible hell
where kindness is mocked and
charity forgotten and where there
is not the least chance for them
to recover unless merciful nature
intervenes and cures them in
spite of all that coin hunting
gialters can do to keep them ill.
Vv e are very prone to point with
price to the Tioneers Home and
to our pensions for tlie ageit and
decrepit. Not one of us but does
not point to those institutions as
an evidence of a large humam
tarianism, covering with the shel
tering robe ©f kindness those who
are helpless and infirm- Few of
us who do not pride ourselves
that one of the tirst acts of our
infant government was the crea
tion ot institutions where the
weak and helpless might receive
some slight recompense for their
years of unrewarded service in
the development of this great do
main. But, we do not stop to
think that those who are consign
ed to the tender mercies of the
human vultures of Morningside
are as much entitled to protection
as are those who we point to as
the evidences of our large char
ity. Truly when one descends to
comparisons it appears that our
charity is a trifle one sided. Hu
manity, nay decency demands
that we at least grant the unfor
tunates who go insane such treat
ment as will give them a chance
to . return to health and useful
citizenship.
MACHINE FOR
DIGGING TRENCHES
Two powerful American trench
Jigging machines, says the Scien
titic American, have been in op
eration for some time at the Ca
nadian camps, where men who
will ultimately be sent to the
lighting front are being trained.
1 hese men are already thorough
ly acquainted with life in the '
trenches, but the trenches have
been dug for them by the Amer
ican machenery referred to, thus
relieving them of the hard shovel
i ork. This innovation was orig
rnted by General Sam Hughes,
rommandant of the Canadian
militia, and has proved to be quite
successful. At one of the camps i
two of these machines dug seven i
nilts of trench, 5 1-2 feet deep, 1
.vith a two-foot bottom, in ten 1
l;.ys. They are readily moved 1
ibi’Ut under theii own power and 1
tig trenches of any reasonable
l< r’f or width with straight or 1
doping sides. !

SOLDIERS BY BIRTH.
The Cossacks are for the most
oart descendants of the military
;aste of the old communities that ,
neld the vast spaces of the south ■
of what was them Muscovite
Russia, and only gradually did <
these southern territories come •.
under the rule of the czars. The
present Cossacks hold their land '
ton military tenure—that is, with
the obligation to serve in the
army instead of th.* payment of
rent. They remain liable to
erve as long as they live, and
their training, at first at home,
begins when the} are 19. At 21
they enter the fi st category regi
ment of their district, in which
they remain for four years. These
regiments art permanently em
bodied and may be employetl in
any part of the empire. The men
then pass into the second cate
gory regiment for another four
years, with a like period in the
third category. The men of the
second category remain at their
homes, but retain their equipment
'■nd horses; in tile fhird they have

There's one rubber boot
that has “made good”
in Alaska, and that’s the
Goodrich
m HIPRESS
* White Boot
■With the Rod-Lino ’round the Top"
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country’ like
“111PRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL
White Goodrich “HIPRESS” Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t have to halt'
I sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual sendee Is that
“111PRESS’’ n.e constructed by «n entirely new process—fifty |Pan
ahead of the old.
Made of the same tough rubber that goes Into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID P1ECE1 :
Nothing to come apart—tlir.r can't leak, p-H, crack or splitt They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to tiie foot while It's working. We promise that once you start
wearing White " H [PRESS'* you'll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has a Rcd-Liua 'round the Top.

BEST YEAR IN
WESTERN STATES
Perhaps the most notable item
in the mining record for I9f5, is
the stimulation of metal mining
in the western states. Almost
without exception the increase in
production were large and in sev
eial states 1915 was the best year
^1 record. In Arizona, which
leads in copper, the output of that
metal exceeded the previous rec
ord production of 1913. Califor
nia continues to lead in gold and
had the largest yield in 32 years,
and with one exception in half a
century. In Montana and Ari
zona record outputs of silver are
reported and in Alaska the in
creased production of gold and
especially copper made 1915 a
much more prosperous year than
1906 when Fairbanks and Nome
were yielding their greatest re
turns of gold from bonanza plac
