TOO MUCH BUSINESS

Too much business is a pretty good com plaiut. but that is exactly the nature of the disease from which number of industrial concerns in this country are suffering. And it actually works a hardship upon certain employees of the concerns, namely, the tray yelling salcsmcn.
 It is reported from the East that many salcsmcn who have been regularly em- ploycd are being laid off indefinitely on the ground that the concerns for which they travel have more business than they can att tend to. In one instance it is stated that it will not be necessary to solicit further or dcrs for a year or more. So it actually hap pens that too much business is throwing some men out of employment.
 Then, there is so much business in some lines that other businesses have closed down. This comes about through inability to secure material The stove makers, for instance, can not get iron; other businesses depending upon steel can not secure stock, and have to cmtail the output In still an other instance, help can not be secured So many concerns are not able to take advan- tage of the prosperity of the country be- cause of that prosperity, in a sense.
 But withal it is a splendid condition, ev- enif it does hamper certain people. A short age of labor is a more wholesome condition than a surplus of labor and to have to fight for raw materials shows better condition than to have raw material piled up with no one willing to purchase it at any price.-EX.

PRIMER LESSON

Will there be any bootlcgging after Alas ka becomes arid!
 No, my child, provided the legislature does it's duty.
 But what can the legislature do to pre- vent it!
 The legislature, my child, can pass law providing for fine of one thousand dollars for any steamboat bringing booze into Alaska.
 But will the legislature do that!
 My child. Alaskans are a proud and hcadstroug people, They are long on honor and when entrusted by their constituencies (a long word, my child, meaning the dear people whom they rcprcscnD to do a thing, they will do it or bust trace.
 But suppose some bad men conceal jugs and casks of red flicker in bales of hay and .othcr innocent and iuoffcnSivc, yet common, articles of freight and the stuff is delivered without being found out-then, pray tell me what is to prevent that oil of joy from being pcddlcd among those who are athirst
 If there was no danger of law being violated there would be no need of proyid- ing penalties. Of course the dry law of Alaska will be violated on various, divers and smdry occasions the same as the law against murder is violated or the law against society is violated by dealing from the bot tom of the dcck But when few violators of the law are soaked for three years and fined five hundred buckerinocs, they will pause and reflect before repeating the of fcuSc.
 But what is fellow to do in ease of snake bite!
 My child, there are no scrpcnts in Alaska.

 Father to my boys brave breast Let no bloody blade be pressed often iu my troubled sleep,
 Waking wcarily to weep, Often dreaming he is ncar Calming every anxious fear. Thus l dream and hope and pray An che weary hours away
 Yet know his cause Is just And center all my trust
 In Che promise. "As thy day

mthc vote for Woodrow Wilson was the sentiment of the trucst, blueSt and highest standard of American citizenship. He was opposed by Wall Street. turned against by Tamauy, bitterly fought by both pro-Al- lies and pro-Gcrmans, each thinking he fa- vorcd the other, Snccrcd at and cursed by iugocs on account of his Mexican policy, and was, in fact, opposed by every clique, faction and ring that is ntagonstic to good government and against the preservation of American institutions. Every voter witt a crouch, every voter who was disgruutled about something, every voter who would sacrifice American honor in order that ad- vantage might accrue to some portion of bIood-soakcd Europe every voter who ls... not taken for his slogan America First, % voted against Woodrow Wilson.
