WHO IS GUILTY?

The American people, individually, and as nation, have good reason indeed to stand appalled, at the spec tacle of the unspeakable and san guinary conflict that now rages upon the continent of Europe. A conflict the horror of which, in portrayal, baffles description, and renders all language bankrupt and helpless
 Thoughtful minds the world over have iterated, and reiterated, the sol emn question: Who is to blame? and none have found an answer that would, beyond all doubt or conten- tion, fairly and justly place the re sponsibility and so we stand in a state of indecision and uncertainty awaiting more evidence.
 But it would seem to Us that a problem of almost equal importance, question even more pertinent, and one requiring a more prompt and eX- plicit solution by every worthy citi- zen of the United States of America is:

THAT POSTOFFiCE CHANGE.

Just why the po5toff.ce is beins moved to new rented quarters when d building purchased by the govern ment for that express purpose lies idle is one of the things hard to understand.
 When Delegate Wickersham pre- sented 8 bill for the purcha SC Of the bank property his strongest ar gument in its favor was the fact that it would not be necessary 10 pay rent for any government office, but that the new purchase would house the postofiice, together with the other federal offices, and thus save an annual rental of at least S2, 400.
 The next time the delegate asks for something for his constituents in this section of the territory he will be confronted with the ar2u- ment that their last purchase did not turn out as he promised 1t would, and henceforth they would have to be shown.
 The new location to which the postofice will be moved is certainly a desirable site. and a great i'm provement over the present one, and taking everything into consideration, the rental is very nominal, but even that could be saved if the powers that be cared to do it,
 If the people of this community, and especially the federal officials, do not stand with the delegate in the promises he is compelled to make in order to get appropriations for hls home town. it is altogether likely that he will not be as active in the future as he has in the past Tn that line of his duty
 When it<comes to the appropria- tion for a public building upon the site in question, what argument has the delegate to put forth?
 It is claimed that postoftice in spector who recently examined the local office recommended the present change That may be true, but who Was back of the movement and put the idea into his head?

THAT CH ENA TRAIL.

Judge Wickersham has returned from the Cinema Hot Springs and in an interview substautiated every word The Citizen has said in regard 10 the trail which was supposed to have been constructed by the Alaska Road commission several years ago when they spent 5000 appropriated from the territorial school fund for the building of a trail to the springs
 The judge says that you can see where they have run the trail. but that it leads in as straight a line as possible. and if a lake or low wet country is in its path it goes right through on straight line when by taking a side hill or the foot of the hills a good summer road could have been constructed that would be of some benefit to those desiring to use it.
 All of which goes to prove that Mr. Zug never built a trail in the Interior that was worthy of the name.
 The money spent on this trail is gone forever in what MT. Zug would be pleased 70 call a winter trail ' when if proper judgment had been used the people of Fairbanks would have an asset that would be worth all kinds of money. and the people of the Interior would have health resort at their command that is second to none in the United States

THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH.

In his moving appeal for peace Pope Benedict wrote one line that expresses the whole war situation:
 The price of the struggle is too nigh.
 Measured in either physical or spiritual terms the cost is excessive. It far exceeds the possibility of gain for any of the belligerents.
 The material cost is measured in billions.
 Germany. with brilliant military achievements signalizing marvellous unity. devotion. courage. efficiency and resources has as yet gained nothing decisive and is practically bankrupt. Her splendid merchant marine is partly at the bottom of the sea and partly lying idle in harbors. Not a German merchant of all the great fleet that carried her trade around the world sails the ocean The energy. skill and capaci- " Of the people are concentrated on war activities.
 France. which saved her national life by brilliant military stroke and is fighting for her borders with savage intensity. is bleeding to death. Every resource in men. mater ial and wealth is devoted to defense. She is fighting for life and will have little else left.
 Great Britain with ~.}4- her. finan- cial and commercial resources, is staggering under the weight of eX- penditure for war purposes. Con trolling the sea with her mighty and costly navy she is compelled to make sacrifices of men and money un- dreamed of in the past. The empire is being drained of it's best,
 So the material losses of these nations must be added to the vast expenditure of Russia in losing con flicts, never before equaled in masses of men and length of line. Then Anstrias grilling cost and the small CT but deadlier burdens of Serbia and Turkey. Italy is just beginning to pour out blood and treasure Her slight progress measures the possi- bilities of sacrifice.
 The cost of human lives is mea- sured in millions.
 The toll is so great that the pub lie count of the principal land com 5atants long since ceased The num- bers would shock the warning peo- ples.
 Belgium is devastated and her people have been kept from starva- tion by charity.
 Poland is a blackened waste and the masses of it's people are without shelter or food.
 Northern France is a cemetery
 Beautiful and flourishing cities within the war zone are deserted ruins.
 It is doubtful if any of the bel ligerents can pay the cost of the first year of the war; it is certain that another year will find everyone bankrupt in men and wealth. Not one will be able to pay it's debts.
 The cost to civilization is immea- surable. In it's cradle where the greatest social and spiritual pro gress has been recorded, civilization is wreck International intercourse has ceased friendship has turned to hate; sword and shell are the only exchanges; industry and com- merce have almost perished; law and humanity are mockeries
 The cost in human suffering and sorrow is beyond the imagination of man. A Dante would fail Of words to depict it.
 Pope Benedict is right. The price of the struggle is too high, But where is the voice that can call the war-crazed peoples back to reason?

FIGHTING THE JlTNEY.

Traction corporations on the Out side at last publicly admit the jit ney seriously menaces their solyency They are fighting it variously. Some by adroitly creating an exaggerated impression of jitney lawlessness and unsafety. Some by causing tacks tC be sprinkled in streets used by many jitney cars.

 ed new suburban car lines
 The Stone X Webster corporation owner and operator of street rail ways in many American cities, pub fishes an advertisement (urging legal destruction of jitney competition) in which it comedies:
 If the jitney method of street transportation were a more eco nomical and stable method than
 that afforded by street railways. then the people are entitled to that method It does not matter that millions have been invested in traction properties, and in preparing to handle the street traffic to and from all parts of the city. When better method of transportation is devised, the people will get the advantage of it. If the traction company does not adopt this method, then
 some other individual or corpora
 tion will adopt it and the street railway will go out of business. This corporation hastens to de clare it's conviction based on close study of jitney operations in many cities, that jitney service "is unsound, unstable and incapable of performing the necessary service in a satisfac- tory manner" Yet the corporation in the same breath admits the jitneys in one small Southern city are draw ing $30,000 monthly from it's own revenues, with no sign of diminish ing competition. The corporation has met this competition by cutting down it's own service, and with the foregoing thinly yelled threat to quit the field unless protected in it's former monopoly by legal enactment
 No small part of the jitney's amaz- ing popularity it is said, is traceable to public disgust with a monopoly that has forced passengers to pay for street car seats they never got

Why 1t Is the St. Lawrence.

The St. Lawrence river owes it's name to the accidental conjunction of the festival of St. Lawrence with the day upon which the first explorer i'm agined he had discovered the river. Jacques Cartier in l534 heard from the natives of the Magdalen islands of a mighty stream threading the continent to an unknown source, and it was while testing this legend that he sailed up the gulf until he'could see the land on each side. In the following year he made bolder expedition with three ships and the blessing of the Bishop of St. MalO. He sailed past Rimouski and on to Quebec. then known by the Indians as StadacOna. Here the fleet anchored. The French, however, fail ed in their efforts to coloniZe the coun- try until century had passed, largely owing to their high handed treatment of the Indians.-London Chronicle

When They Should Appear and the
 Order In Which They Come.
 The milk teeth first teeth) are twen- ty in number. The time at which they appear is subject to considerable va. riations, even under normal conditions. The following table gives the order and average time of appearance of the different teeth:
 Two lower central incisors, six to nine months.
 Four upper incisors, eight to twelve months.
 Two lower lateral incisors and four anterior molars, twelve to fifteen months.
 Four canines, eighteen to twenty four months.
 Four posterior molars, twenty-four to thirty months At one year of age a child should have six teeth. At one and one-half years it should have twelve teeth. At two years it should have sixteen teeth.
 At two and one-half years it should have twenty teeth.
 It Is not easy to explain where there are so often variations from the aver age. The order in which the teeth ap- pear is more regular than the time of their appearance. Marked irregulari- ties in order of the appearance of the teeth are the rule in idiotic children or those suffering from slighter mental effects. Delayed dentition is generally caus- ed by rickets. Many healthy children, however, frequently have no teeth ap- pear until the tenth month of age Philadelphia Record.

In 1895 three Irishmen agreed to un- dertake journey around the earth on foot for a pool of $15O,OOO. Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and 1t was agreed that whoever survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died a Dublin hos pital was to become the beneficiary On Dec. 24. 1895, they started east across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travellers. The third. Captain Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money.

OLEANDERS OF BERMUDA.

In Summer Time They Fairly Run Riot
 Over the Islands.
 Back in the f1fties, when Anthony Trollope held rowing commission as postoffice inspector for the British gov ernment, he visited Bermuda, then practically unknown to any people save mariners. The distinguished au- thor said some uncomplimentary things about the native Bernudians, much to their amusement, but he could not help praising the scenery of their island home and particularly the oleanders. He voted that Bsrmuda should be call ed the "Oleander Isles"
 Curiously enough, Bermuda is better known as the home of the onion and the Easter lily, to say nothing of the potato and the rose, although the olean- der is the most gorgeous and conspic- uous shrub in the islands. Shrub is hardly the word to describe the olean. der. It is really a tree, lifting its top twenty feet in the air and growing in thickets that the island planters use as screens or windbreaks.
 In summer the hedges are covered with a profusion of pink, white and crimson blossoms that last well into the autumn and make great splashes of color on the hills and at the road. side. The oleander has no enemies Animals refuse to touch 1t. and the tree runs its riotous way all over the islands. Those who visit Bermuda only in winter miss the glory of the oleander blossoms and also many of the other gorgeous flowers. While there is plenty of bloom in the winter months, the array of flowers is even greater in summer.-New York Post,

BATHING IN JAPAN.
Natives Wash Themselves Clean Before
 Gettino Into tho Tub.


 Partial accounts of the luxury of a Japanese bath lead us to believe that we have something yet to learn about what is regarded by many in this coun- try as necessity and by more as a supererogation-in Japan the bath is not only necessity, but delightful recreation.
 The Japanese have a way of their own of taking bath. They have a system that ill some respects resem- bles that enforced at swimming pools in this country. You must first wash the body thoroughly, and then you en- ter the tub, the water of which is heated by an individual system. There, If you are in a public bathhouse, you may smoke and doze and chat with your friends in a dissipation that is said to be exceedingly refreshing. The water is kept hot. perhaps increases in heat, and when you leave the tub 1t is still regarded as fit for the next cus- toner. In private house the master and mistress may have their baths first and the same water serves for the invigoration and diversion of the serv- ants. The ignorant foreigner, who goes into the Japanese tub for the pur- pose of cleansing his body and with soap spells the water for further use, is not only guilty of social error. but entails q hardship on the household, in cluding the servants.-Rochester Dem onrat
