THE TIMES POLITICS.

When new spaper is published for revenue only it is always noticeable that 1t will follow such policies as promise the most financial returns IL has no backbone of its own. and only assumes policy after that policy assures reward
 One such newspaper is the Fair banks Times. Previous to the city election. which took place here last Tuesday, the Times backed up no ticket or candidates. but treated the campaign as though it Was not interested in the result This WAS evidently for the purpose of being able to rush in after it was all over and pat the successful candidates on the back and say: You were our choice from the first.
 This profitable policy was carried out. for the day after the election the Times came out editorially boost ing the successful ticket It evident ly has in view the job work and advertising that the council can be stow upon il during the coming year. Thus it's goal is the money that it expects to earn.
 But this is not the first time that the Times has adopted that question able policy of climbing into the Dand wagon after election time The Times was formerly d Republican newspaper and its publishers are still known to be Republicans But just as soon as the Democrats took possession of the national politics. and il was assured that local off cials would be Democrats, the Times changed its political color to assist its bank account The way the Times conducted its edi- torial policy previous to the Noyem- Der election for revenue only" is common gossip about this part of the territory.
 For it's assumed Democracy. the Times is claiming a good share of the Democratic patronage from the federal building, but judging by its past records. the Times will be Re publican again just as soon as that party gets into power. Thus it is not saying an untruth to assert that the Times is a newspaper with out a backbone and with no charac- ter beyond that which promises fin anCial returns.

Burmese Is Worlds
 Greatest Detective

Taking into consideration the cir cumstances surrounding his work Shinebo Won is the most remark able thief-taker in the world, says an exchange
 He has made more than 5000 captures, and is known as the Bur mese Sherlock Holmes" His me thods may not be so scientific as tion; but put the Enslishman in the field of the Burmese sleuth and he would probably perform like the veriest tyro. For some of Shinebo Won's cases have been worked with such an unerring sense of direction that he has teen accredited with a sixth faculty.
 He has simply looked suspect in the eye long and intently with out speaking, and the silence has been so full of vague menace and his psychological dominance so com polling that the culprit has crump- led up and confessed. Shinebo Won has keen, searching eye, which not only reads the faces of men, but sees their thoughts like an open book So say they who have felt his strange power.
 Possessed of the woodcraft of the primitive American Indian, he has followed trail for long, relentless days through jungle, over mountain and through valley Even the oblit- erating flood of swollen rivers has not baffled him; for, they say. his eye sees beyond the flood, and his stern call is ever in the ears of the hunted one. And when he rides forth on one of these silent quests it is to be gone until he has found his man.
 Shinebo Won bears a charmed life. He has been thrust at in the dark. Swift and hideous death has beset him in the dim. twilight trails of

END DRAWING NEAR.

David Starr Jordan, formerly presi- dent of Stanford university, recog- nized as one of the best students of political science in the country, has declared that the war in Eu- rope will end within another five months.
 Evidently MT. Jordan reaches this conclusion from study of the sources of revenue of the countries now at war and has decided that some of the countries involved will have reached their financial limit by that time.
 But MT. Jordan Is not the only prominent man who believes that the war cannot last long. There is a growing sentiment in the United States that the great conflict will wear itself out by its very severity in a few more months.
 Someone has figured out that the cost of the war is $2,O00 900 an hour, not taking into consideration the ruin that it causes to homes and cities. This does not take into consideration, either. the value of the vessels that are being sunk al most daily on the seas, as a result of the war
 All the nations involved in the war were heavily in debt when the war started and they are all borrowing wherever they can secure loans. There must come a limit to a na- tion's credit, just as there is a limit to the borrowing power of an individual, and when that limit is reached, perhaps blood will stop flowing on the European battlefields

ELECTION RESULTS.

IL is probable that few voters real 1 days election went. for there was no promise On the part of either faction that any special method would be pursued in limiting city ex- 1 penses. The voters had no assur- ance that the men running on the 1 independent ticket would improve city conditions, for they outlined no definite platform. So they conclud- ed not to make change that prom ised no benefits.
 The independent ticket would prob ably have made better showing had it not been for the fact that during the night previous to the election there was circulated cam paign newspaper that was filled with personal attacks on the men run ming on the Citizens ticket Unfairness in politics. like dshon- esty in business, can never prove

 The Citizen has been assured by some of the leading candidates who were on the losing ticket that they did not know that literature, at ] tacking their opponents. was being published. They said that this un- derhand work was done by some unknown persons who were working for personal spite and not really for the aid of the ticket they pre- tended to boost Judging from what The Citizen has been able to learn, this is true, for some. at least of the losing candidates are more in.

That ihe British people are real izinc in a like manner that there is much good in the individuals com posing the German empire is ma evident from an article written in London, on February 19. and publish ad in the Portland Oregonian on March & lt was written by Will Irwin. one of the leading American writers of the day. and starts out as follows:
 That fervor of German patriotism has reached the English conscious hess at last One hears no more be- littline of the enemy The news papers admit it"
 These two things tend to prove that the Europeans are beginning to respect each others courage and bravery. and 1t is quite certain that after the greatest war of all time is brought to an end. the peoples now at war will have deeper respect
  before the war started.
 Or course his respect will moi mean that they will not continue to feel certain sense of bitterness resulting from the long and deter mined contest But as individuals they will more fully realize that after all. each side was fighting worthy enemies
 All Americans, who are not tied too closely by ties of blood to one of the nations now at war, and who can look on the conflict ill a purely neutral manner, realize that there is very little difference in the man hood and womanhood of the average citizens of the warning countries Only those people who have been aroused by national prejudices stoop to find fault with the people of one nation and praise those of an. other
 In our own Civil war, the people of the North and of the South did not stop by examining into the Ques. tions involved in the war. but came to believe that they were fighting in humane enemies. Now they mingle under the same flag and are prac- tically over the misconceptions that the war produced
 When national and racial preju- dices are eliminated. and the people of the various civilized nations of the earth strive to understand each other better, war will become less frequent
