ROWDIES.
Four or five Seattle wharf rats
were passengers tbrouugh Valdez last
night on -the Sampson, and while
James McKegg was holding his
usual street church services they
grabbed him by the arms and at
tempted to pull the church wotker
into a saloon to buy him a drink.
The gents from the Barbary Coast
were well dressed and appeared in
telligent enough to have respected
the rights of others to such religious
b' lie's as they desired. Their ac
tions were reprehensible to say the
least.
Church services have been held on
public streets during and since the
days of Jesus Christ and those Chris
tians who are willing to spread the
gospel at the expense of insult and j
mockery from a cold any cynical j
world are considered among the
greatest preachers of the Christian :
religion that we have today. The Sal
vation Army and its sister organiz
ation, the American Volunteers, have
earned and generally receive a mer
ited respect and admiration from the
public. The smaller organizations or
individuals who practice the religion
of Jesus Christ, who go forth and
preach the gospel as did Jesus twen
ty centuries ago, are entitled to the
support and co-operation of all Chris
tians and to every protection.
Should any more of the Seattle
scum attempt a repetition of what
was done last night they should be
promptly dealt with.
DISAPPEARANCE OF THE YOUNG
GIRL.
A French observer declares, says an
exchange, thal there are no young
girls in America. He misses the girl
with the braided hair, swinging her
books at the end of a strap, skip
ping lightheartedly to or from school.
Our girls, he says, become sophisti
cated too early. They are trying to
charm and attract at an age when
they should properly take orders from
mother.
Recently the Pictorial Review print
ed a stirring appeal to the fathers
and mothers for a return of Miss
Innocence. “What has become of the
young girl?” is a question that has
long been troubling not only old
fashioned men and women, but the
younger men of today, who realize
what the apparent disappearance of
feminine innocence means to their
own 'uture. These men and women,
old and young, are slow to reconcile
themselves to social conditions which
eliminate the modesty and innocence
of the young girl of the past and
substitute for ner a person who at
16 has all the maturity of manner
and all the familiarity with the prob
lems of life that belong to the wo
man of 35.
Of course, this French observer’s
conclusions are based upon what he
hits seen in the large cities, where
both the boys and girls soon throw
off their childhood styles of dress and
with all the innocence and joy that
should go with them. In the poorer
shifts of society the shop and the
factory are responsible for the dis
appearance of the young girl type.
A g.rl of 14 when thrown in the
company of older girls day after day
is quickly dragged into the whirlpool
of life. With the well to do classes
the girl Is willfully spoiled by the
overindulgent parents. Too little dis
cipline is as bad as too much. The
early disappearance of the braid and
the acquirement instead of worldly
wise ways and manners by our young
girls lend a coolness to our civiliz
ation which it could profitably lose.
This is not a protest against care
ful training. It is a demand foMnore
careful and better balanced training.
The tendency of the age makeB for
coarseness and hardening of 'moral
sensibilities in {woman—for casting
the feminine mind and {nature ins
the same molds as the masculine. To
what will' a race df such new women
give birth? Will the world be bet
ter and stronger for them,' or will
it only be smarter and lesS ■ moral?
The questions’ are well worth care
ful and prayejtfhi, consideration at a
time when the newspapers dally con
tain accounts of girls under 17 dis
appearing front their homes.
THE VALUE OF A SMILE.
The mayor of one of the cities in
the East has issued an order that
whenever two or more policemen meet
they must salute and smile. The sa
luting part of the proposition is with
in the province of a man making rules
for the government of a police or
ganization. bul i he smile part of it
seems rather efficacious, but difficult
of enforcement.
But the old saying that we "must
grin and bear” our troubles can well
be applied to this order. No doubt
the policemen in the city in question
will make an effort to obey the rule.
At first their smiles will be smirks.
They will really only grin and bear
it. But after a little while, they may
really see the fun in the matter and,
actually smile on their own account.
If they once get the habit, there «vill
come a twinkling in their eyes, too,
and maybe they will really laugh. If
this happens it will do much to light
en the burden of their duties, and
relieve the monotony of a dull rou
tine.
The glad hand will follow the smil
ing face,' the cheering w ord will al
so come, and then kindliness and
good will to all men. If these po
licemen—and indeed everyone who
has any duty to perform—will put
joy into it, it will be a blessing all
around. Indeed the order of that sa
lute and smile is salutory psychology,
with possibilities of very generous
proportions.
Smile, damn you, smile!
CAPT. FORBES SAYS
SMALL 1914 PACK
Speaking of the outlook for the
salmon canneries for the season of
1914, Capt. Robert Forbes, head of
the Pacific-Americah Fisheries com
pany, operating largely at Excursion
inlet, says:
“f prophesy a poor run and a small
pack, and it's a good thing, too. The
prices to the packers are altogether
too low, although the consumer seems
to be paying a fair price for his fish.
There is something radically wrong
when fish cannot be put up at a fair
profit with the consumer paying a
fair price. The middle men—too
many of them—are absorbing all of
the profits. Perhaps with a light pack
this year things may be adjusted so
that the packers will get a living
price for the product.
“There lias been a wonderful in
crease in fish consumption in the past
few years, yet the packers are op
erating at a loss. When the 1913
pack went on the market, counting
the million left over from 1912, there
were about 9,000,000 cases on hand.
The consumption was about 8,000,000
cases, still leaving about a million
cases to carry over. Now if we put
up a smaller pack this season and
wipe out that surplus, the canners
should get a better price next year,
and the consumer will get his fish at
a reasonable price. As matters now
stand with an abundant supply the
middlemen are demanding and get
ting all the profits.”
ARMY UNIFORM

lation army olive drab, with orange
colored piping, was the uniform form

er puttees, mil’tary caps with tan
leather visors, and olive drab over

800 after the gates are opened.
