"Lost Nothing In Trade"

''Those who have considered It most
mercenary to criticise Great Britain for
Interfering with neutral trade" said

lost anything In their trade"
Senator Walsh charged that American

The letter of Col Richardson to Senator sulzer and the statement of the latter concerning the various phases of the road funds question Of Southeasern AL aska appearing in another column little to be said on that subject Col Richardson states tho from the standpoint of the commission fairly The road commission has been influenced more by the need for roads thar by the source of the at It's com mand. and none who would be fair will complain on that account southeastern Alaska has not been dis posed to quarrel with the road commission for spend ing most of the money that this section of the Terri tory has contributed to the road fund where 1t would do the most good The fact has been referred to as evidence that Southeastern Alaska cannot properly be accused of senshness in insisting upon her right to the forest reserve money and evidence that other sec lions Of the Territory would not suffer because she claimed her right
 Senator Suizer's statement is plain and compre- hensive summary of the whole ease Out of nearly SS 100000 that has been expended on roads in Alaska the First Division has secured less than s15OO00 notwh- standing that she has contributed approximately three quarters Of million to the road funds. It shows not only ample justification for the position of the First Division but makes 1t plain that the representatives of the people in this Division could not in common jus tice do less than they did do.
 Col Richardson's letter makes plain that 1t was never the intention Of the road commission to slight the roads og the First Division The expenditure of the ssOOO0 that had been allotted to this Division was suspended n part because the tying up of the forest funds had interrupted the plans that had been deter mined upon. It was meant only that the suspension would be temporary and that the needed roads would be built at the earliest possible moment
 Both the letter and the statement should be read by everybody.

"Of course, you win win," he wrote, land will be able to dictate terms to Spain. The continental powers win not inc terfere because England will not join them. am certain that if opinion had been different from what it is you would have had to face a European coalition" Further on Chamberlain wrote: "A fortnight ago Cdo not quote me as the authority) the Ger man Kaiser said to @ friend Of mine, Tf had had a larger fleet would have taken Uncle Sam by tho scru1 of the neck And this represents Che view of the old monarchies who begin to desire @ Monroe Doctrine for Europe.

A NEW HEALTH SLOGAN

 An official of the United States Marine Hospital recently placed himself that he could watch the peo pie drinking from public bubble fountain and observed that nearly every one of the 47 persons who drank he watched pressed their lips down the metal spout from which the jet of water-in other words-the bub ble-issued Three of the drinkers looked if they had consumption and several others obviously not in good health. Thereupon the investigator invented a new health slogan. Bite the bubble"
 On the whole, we do not think this is quite so hap py or auring as Swat the ny' but it's meaning and importance are plain, and if there are any who are disincined to heed 1t let them make mental picture of all the people who may bubble fountains in the course of a day and consider whether they care to press their lips where many different kinds of un pleasant people may have pressed theirs A little brief reflection along this line may save doctors bill or cheat a undertaken.

THANKSGIVING

We walk on starry fields of white
And do not see the daisies;
For blessings common in our sight
We rarely offer praises.
We Sigh for some supreme delight
IL crown our lives with splendor,
And quite ignore our daily store
vi pleasures sweet and tender.
Our cares are bold and push their way
Upon our thought and feeling.
They hang about us all the day,
Our time from pleasure stealing.
So unobtrusive many Joy
We pass by and forget it,
But worry strives to own our lives,
And conquers if we let it.
There's not q day in all the year
But holds some hidden pleasure.
And looking back, joys oft appear
To brim the past's wide measure.
But blessings are like friends, hold,
Who love and labor near u.s.
We ought to raise our notes of praise
While living hearts can hear us.
Full many blessing wears the guise
Ut worry or of trouble;
Far-seelng is the soul, and wise,
Who knows the mask is double,
But he who has the faith and strength
10 thank his God for sorrow
Has found joy without alloy
10 gladden. every morrow
We ought to make the moments notes
Of happy. glad Thanksgiving,
The hours and days silent phrase
VI music we are living.
And so the theme should swell and grow
AS weeks and months pass o'ec US,
And rise sublime at this good time.
