THE BEAUTIFYING SPIYIT.
Thu "clean-up" ami beautify
ing spirit has taken hold of the
North. Douglas had its second
annual "Clean-up” Day yester
day, and its Civic Club is plan
ning to keep up its work of mak
ing Douglas a more pleasant eily
in hich to live. A prize will be
given lo the householder whose;
yard shows the best evidence ol'i
up-keep during the summer os !
one of the inducements to create
a healthy competition for the
honor of doing most for the city’s
improvement.
Skagway has prided herself on
the condition of her yards and
gardens for many years. Those
of that city have had flower gar
den contests, and have done many
things lo make their town more
pleasing to the senses.
The Dawson News has begun a
campaign for I he destruction of
old, unsightly and worthless buil
dings that, served a purpose in
the days wile'll it was n'ecetssary
“to meet the demands of the first;
feverish days of a new mining
camp,” but that are no longer
“in demand in the Dawson of
modern conveniences.” it urges
the destruction of the" buildings
in the interest of a more beauti
ful Dawson. It is also urging
people to plant (lowers in their
yards, and otherwise beautifying
“ the city. !
The rivalry among the owners
of residences In Fairbanks to]
have the home with the most at
tractive garden and most beau- !
liful yard has been keen for srv- '
era! years.
And so I he movement spreads!
from one town to tile oilier.
Nothing; gives Isronger lesli
inony than this I Imt the people of ;
file north no longer look upon ,
their connI ry as a place in which
to gather a few ilollars logclhor,
only to leave il for some oilier :
seel io'n of ..miry in which
to live. II means | lull 1 hey have i
come lo look upon il as tlioir j
home land, as a place to live and ■
to enjoy Hie lliings worlli living |
for.—Juneau Kmpire.

THE SAFEGUARD OF PUBLIC
ITY.
Secret ary of the Treasury Mr-!
Adoo issued an order that no in
formation should he given to the
press about affairs of his depart
ment without his personal sanc
tion. 1111 is order was published
and raised such a furore that il
was recalled the next, day.
The secretary unaouDtcaiy
meant well in issuing the order
that nothing concerning govern
ment business should be made
public without his approval. That
.matters might develop which
should be dealt with excutively
before given publicity easily may
be conceived, but the Treasury
department includes so many
governmental activities requiring
immediate notice to the public
that the sweeping and indiscrim
inate order for secrecy was ill
advised. it is to his credit that
Mr. McAtloo lost, no tiofre in re
calling the order and revising it;
It would have been a 'bad'start
for any department of the new
administration to exclude the
public from its confidence. Mr.
McAdoo will have to be1 on the
alert hereafter, for that indiscreet
order will pursue him. Anything
wrong in his department will be i
charged up to his policy of sec
recy and silence. Publicity is the
watchword of the times. It guards
and protects the official and the
public alike. It keeps the public
servant to the mark, and strikes
(error to the soul of the wrong
doer. The public will suspect with
good reason any public office
which shrinks from the light.
Secretary Bryan has alienated
the brewery vote, if he ever had
it.
I
OUR FUTURE MEAT SUPPLY.
The day of the open range has
assed and students of economics
have decided that even if the
range still existed as in the old
days the future meat supply would
have to come from the, small
farm because it lias been demon
strated that livestock can be more
economically raised on small
ranches than on large ones.
The percent of loss among live
stock is much less on the farm
ranch than mi I he big open range
of the large ranch. This can be
attributed |o the fact that the
small land owner can more close
ly watch over the breeding stock
and their young than the large
ranchman. The owners of large
ranches depend entirely upon hir
ed help to care for his live slock.
This gives the small owner the
advantage, because he can per
form this important duty him
self, thus eliminating an item of
heavy expense and at the same
time insure greater protection to
bis increasing herd.
<!rowing live slock on Ihe farm
means increased land values and
increased, agricultural products,
and it is recommended in the
scheme for maintaining soil fer
tility. It is an economic heresy
that a country ran prosper with
out fertile land and ever increas
ing production.
An economic way to solve the
problem of mainlatnning soil fer
tility is the growing of crops on
the farm to feed the livestock and
returning these crops to the soil
in the form of manures. The
farm is (lie logical place on which
to rear live slock. And when the
farmers of this country can he
induced to understand its eco
nomic importance and its relation
to soil fertility they will doubt
less become livestock growers as
well as crop producers. When
this period of improved farm
method is reached there need be
no further fear of lessening soil
yields and meat supply.
California fears that she will
he reduced to the condition of
British Columbia, where one
fourth of all the men are Orien
tals*. with but few Oriental wom
en. According to Representative
Johnson of Washington, "near
ly 80 per cent of all the working
men in British Columbia are eith
er Chinese, Japanese or Hindu.”
