SOLON OUTLINE PLAN
 TO RAISE REVENUES

| WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.- Methods of raising preparedness rev. enue which will probably De suggest ed to the house by the ways and means committee were outlined last night by Representative Rainey, a democrat, of Illinois, the ranking ma jority member of the committee, at a preparedness dinner here given by members of the Illinois Manufactur- ers' Association.
 "Income taxes including the sur tax will be increased, and taxes will be levied on whisky, beer, wine, man. ufactured tobacco and munitions" said MT. Rainey. When these taxes are levied they are as high as they ever can go and they never will be re- pealed.
 "This will be billion and quar- ter congress, and at the rate of in- ,rease in the next few years every :ession will be a two billion dollar congress. While you are devising so many ways for us to spend money, for Gods sake tell us where to get it without burdening the people. If we lave to prepare we must find more subjects for taxation"
 Senator Sherman, republican, of Illinois, told the diners he favored enforced military training and large army and navy.
 Representative Mann, republican, of Illinois, minority leader in the house, declared that this was the time Ito prepare for war and remain at peace" He declared that the people of the country would never stand for universal military training, and that it would sound the death knell of any party trying to enforce it.

SIR ROGER BASEMENT.

The madcap enterprise of Sir Rog- CT Easement, who has been arrested by the British on a charge of treason in attempting to land arms and mu- nitions for the Irish rebels, is one of the interesting sidelights of the big war. It is peculiarly interesting be- cause Sir Roger once was not with out honor in his own country. Some of his former friends in England be- lieve that he is mentally unbalanced, but whether that is true or whether he is simply an incorrigible Irish Separatist, is only conjectural.
 Sir Roger, before the outbreak of the war, was in the British consular service, having held posts in Portu- guese West Africa, Congo Free State, San Domingo and Brazil. He was
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-05-10

knighted in 1911 and in 1912 he was instrumental while consul general at Rio Janeiro, in bring about reforms in the treatment of natives employed by British companies in the Putamayo rubber fields.
 In November, 1914, it was report ed that Sir Roger, as leader of the separist faction in Ireland, had gone to Berlin and conferred with the Ger man imperial authorities in the hope of opening up negotiations between Germany and the anti-British party in Ireland. Assurances were said to have been given him that should the Germans land in Ireland all native in stitutions would be respected, in re- turn for which, it was reported, Sir Rogers followers were to lend aid to the Germans. In learning of this al- legged plot the British authorities sus- pended Sir Rogers pension as mem Der of the consular service.
 From that time until few days ago. when steamship flying neutral flag, unsuccessfully attempted to land cargo of arms on the Irish coast, little was heard of the separa- tist leader. Sir Roger was taken from small boat in which he had embarked in an endeavor to escape. when it was seen that the ship on which he was embarked was liable to be captured by the English.
 Sir Roger led cause that was hopeless from the start, as he was un- prepared, had neither arms nor mu- nitions, lacked the men for the en- terprise, and had his plans tipped off to the British government in advance. What will be done with him by the authorities is a matter of conjecture. His prominence renders his execution dangerous to the British government, and if he lives he will always be menace in that he will foment strife and discord against the government.

ADDRESS ON THE
 MEXICAN AFFAIR

The address of President Wilson to the citizens of the United States warning them against the false sen sational reports in regard to events in Mexico and along the border will be received by the public with all the consideration and respect due the Chief Magistrate, and will undoubt- edly be needed by the vast mapority.
 The facts, established and proved facts, as regards the frightful con- ditions in Mexico are sensational enough without any attempt upon the part of anyone to make them more

REPLACEMENT REASONING.

Sir Edward Grey acts as advocate and judge in his reply to the Ameri- can protest regarding violations by the British of the rights of the United States on the high seas. He asserts that the practices ot' jected to by our government are "jr-
 dicially sound and valias" and then i"'
 the next breath refers tothe admitte ed principles of internationafslaw car@- fully adjusted to the altered conoi- tions of modern warfare" Also it is
 maintained that "new devices for dis
 patching goods to the enemy must T."
 met by new methods of applying the fundamental and acknowledged prin- ciples of the right to intercept such trade"
 | Germany contends that the use ct the submarine is justified because it is a weapon developed since present international law was established ard
 that "the altered conditions of mod
 ern warfare" justify it's use. Er- gland and Germany each wishes this country to accept its view on these
 subjects, but to resist those of it's enemies.
 The United States, as neutral na-
 tion, is not likely to admit the con-
 tention of either.

SUPERIOR EDUCATION.

Arnold once said: 'I would far rather send boy to Van Dieman's Land, where he would have to work hard for his bread, than to send him to college to live in luxury without any desire in his mind to avail him. self of his advantages"
 And in this he was right. What benefit is a college education to a person who takes no advantage of it. One does not necessarily have to do great things to get the value Of an education, but they should think and act as an educated person, and allow their mind to expand and grow larger through cultivation. Coarseness can be avoided; pleasant converse may be held on current topics; and in many ways can the education be used for your good.

THE CALL

There's a strange little pain in my
 heart dear, That nothing can set at rest, In the crowd I am still apart dear As 1 search with a hopeless quest Each face that is someone's light
 dear,
 Each form that is someone's pride At morn, at noon and at night dear miss you love, from my side There's a deep little hurt in my soul
 dear,
 The best of me knows to-day, How far am I still from the goal
 dear,
 How great is the price l pay. And I'm lost in the maze and the
 mist dear,
 I'm weary of futile strife. The call on the lips you've kissed,
 dear,
 Is back, come back, to my life.

FLOATING

Too many people in this life sim ply float They have no fixed ambition or purpose in life. Show me a man with definite program of action and that coupled with a determina- tion, to succeed or die in the attempt and I will show you man that some time in his three score and ten years will mount the ladder of his ambi- ton.
 Life's actions are the same as any business. If a business organization were to open its doors with no set form of action and take every thing that came along-never seeking to better it's condition-never checking itself up for improvments-it would dash on the rocks and be smashed to pieces at the first storm. So direct analogy may be drawn with the indi- vidual. Unless one is closely follow ing a mapped campaign of action, his chances for success will be numbered with the majority, which is failure for nine 'out of ten who enter the business world.
 Your course of action may have to be changed from time to time as conditions present themselves; make the change, get up little more steam, open the throttle and sand the rail, then give it every unit of energy you possess. Hit things square on the head.

EDITORIAL PAGE

Have you any idea of the extent Of the Alaska coast line? The shores Of the territory are washed by three great oceans. These are the Arctic ocean on the north, Ser ing gea on the west and the Pacific ca the south. Tho Aleutiau is land, off the Alaska peninsula, are separated from each other and the mainland by a network of rocky straits, and much Of Southwestern and Southeastern Alaska is made up of mountainous islands that have rocks of all shapes and sizes. The Islands are really the tops of mountains half lost in the water1 They rise in spires and cathedrals, some Of which ere thousands of feet above the water and others hid den beneath it, lying there con- cealcd and ready to rip open the hulls of ships as the icebergs ripped the Titanic. The extent of the Al aska coast. with its windings, sur passes that of the United states proper. It is greater than that of all oug states on the Pacific from Puget sound to the boundary of Mexico, added to that of our states op the Atlantic, including the Gulf. All told. 1t is more than 26,0OO mtles .oug, or longer than the dis tance around the world at the equator. and, it proportion to it's length, iy has perhaps more dangers than any coast line on earth. Never thsIess. not oue-balf of it has yet been sounded by the coast survey vessels. and more than half of the general coast line is not marked by lights or by any aids to navigation, Christian Herald.
