John D. Rockefeller in lecturing
to his bible class, made the state
ment that a family could live very
comfortably on SIo2. SO per month.
Does not the confounded saphead
know that there are at least 1000,
900 Of laboring men in this coun-
try living or rather starving on
less than $500 per year, that a lot
of men and women can squander
thousands annually on luxuries?

Another good joke on Mr. Bryan, was
sprung by his daughter Ruth, several
years ago, when school girl in he1
teens. In her haste to get to her school
in Lincoln, Neb.. one cold morning in
winter, she found it necessary to chase
after a street car about three blocks be-
fore she succeeded in boarding the same
To the merriment of the occupants Of
she breathlessly exclaimed: swell, Pm
glad there is one in the Bryan family
who can run for something and get it. /.
Speaking of Bryan, why would it not
be good idea for the local reception
cOmmitte to bring its influence to bear"
and persuade the colonel to remain over
Saturday night and see the town after
dark-a model town" with the lid off.
He might see things we know he cannot
see at Lincoln.

The Steel Trust has paid oyer a
billion of dollars in dividends
during the past nine years from
which it can be inferred at least a
half was because of the high and
unnecessary tariff on steel PRO-
ducts. Had the trust paid its en-
ployes a living wage it might be
different, but it paid starvation
wages to increase its dividends.

In connection with the visit here on
Saturday, of William Jennings Bryan,
it is not out of place to tell little joke
on the cOlonel-One that happened in
the early days of his political career.
Fresh from college. Mr.. Bryan took the
stump for the democracy, and naturally,
was anxious to make hit on the Occa-
sion of his maiden address, which took
him into a rural settlement. The task
of introducing Mr.. Bryan was conferred
upod a young Irishman. The latter be-
timid and not over confident of his ora
torical powers, requested Mr.. Bryan to
coach him as what to say in the intro
ductory. Mr.. Bryan generously con-
scented and drilled the young man till he
thought he had him we'll in hand. But
stage fright seized the young Irishman
on the occasion of the political rally and
to the surprise and modification Of Mr.
Bryan, he arose AID stammered, with
beads of Precipitation cOursing down his
cheeks: Mr.. O'Brien will now spake
to yez."

Shortly before the close of the last session of congress, Congress man Sulzer, who has just received the Democratic nomination for governor of New York, introduced a resolution, the object of which is to bring peace to the nations of the world, and to do away with the enormous expense of armies and nayies. which he claims is one of the principal causes of the present high cost of living. The resolution is as follows:
 That the president be, and he hereby is authorized to extend an invitation to all the members of the national legislative bodies of

the various nations of the world to assemble in Washington, District of Columbia. in the United States, during the fall of the year of nineteen hundred and fifteen, to discuss matters relating to universal peace, and make recommendations for such action as will enable said national legislative bodies to be of greater service in promoting con cord and peace among the nations of the earth"
 The League of Peace" an or ganization established in New York City, is urging general sup port of this resolution, and has sent circulars broadcast, saying in part:
 The most important event in the worlds history is the fact that there is at this time a national legis lative body making the laws aud controlling the revenues and eX- penditures in every great nation of the world and that these bodies act ing together can substitute justice and good will for force, as com plete between the nations as it has between the states of the American Union.
 Tn the work of arousing public opinion We would request the CO., operation of the press and the peo- pie of all the world in a CRUSADE FOR PEACE that may save in the pockets of the taxpayers the $2,- 500 100000 now expended on armies and navies to protect the peace, this being the greater factor in the high cost of living from which all people are suffering at the present time"
 The next meeting of the Inter- national Congress of Peace Societies will take place in Geneva, Switzer- land, August 3l to September |, and the Interparliamentary Union will begin it's sessions September | 17, in Geneva. These will be fol- lowed by conference of represent atives of the three great republics United States, France and China doubtless with representatives of other nations as well, in Paris, in October, all working to forward the success of this coming joint meeting of the parliament of the world.
 So far 3G2 members of the pres ent United States congress, out of full membership of ATS, have em- rolled themselves as members of the Interparliamentary Union and with their signatures have apprOy- ed the invitation from the United States congress to the parliaments of other nations, which the Sulzer bill, if passed. makes official.

This is the time of the year 10 plant trees. A tree planted in the fall win live. ii any decent kind of care is given it. The best in- vestmcnr this community can make IS to plant trees. Not only are they beautiful, but they are of commercial value as wind breaHs. A grove of trees will protect a flower garden from being despoiled by the hurryiug winds that rush up and down the Skagway valley.
 Beauty is an investment that pays a hundred per cent to both borrower and lender. The more you give. the more you have No community eyer amounted to very much that neglected it's appearances. There has been a society of ladies formed in this city whose object IS to beauury things. Women under stand Ioyeliuess better than mea, they are more in touch with the rsrherir. A community composed of men would soon have weeds over growing their lawns and their yards decorated with empty bottles and tomato cans. Therefore, it seems ro this newspaper, that the women have adopted the very thing for which nature has fitted them, that of creating beauty. This society has raised funds, and will raise more. which they intend to use for civic improvement. They have no intention of attempting to wrest the governing power from the lords Of creation. what they want Co do is Jo supplement the work of the male portion of the com muuity. not to supplant it. For iH- stance. the women want to plant some trees. They are willing u buy the trees and have them hauled ju from rhe forests; not being physically able 10 dig the holes rnr planting. they are asking the aIG oG few men to assist them, Ir is not much 70 ask. and it is not interfering with the preroga- tives of city government in any way. They do think. however Chat thr city council might loan them ua usc Of the street com mirJrr or city marshal or two, who would occasionally care For the trees and see that they are kept growing They do not he- Iirve that im granting such 8 re- oursr rhr nation will go to the dogs, because of "the interference of a pack Of women who ought to be home tending 10 the babies"
 Women arc accused of being aossipers. Perhaps the accusation is true. If it is true. the fault lies with the men who have refused to grant them the privileges of do- ing anything else. In our opinion l healthy woman who helps to create beauty and who is active in adding to the happiness of the general public, is much more lov- able and nearer perfect than one who becomes prematurely old and faded with continually staying q, home and thinking the thoughts of the moldy past
