NOME, ALASKA, FEB. IS, 1918.

Tie Washington dispatch announc ing that the republican committee or military affairs of the house of repre- eontattyes is drafting a new army bill to supersede the objectionable one submitted by the war department dlsclsses with certainty that there Is no probability that the defense ques ton will assume the status of a party issue.
 To all appearances the question will be thrashed out on the basis of its merits as a national need without party principles or policies entering Into the discussion.
 This is as 1t should be. The ques- tions Is not ne for party politics. I. is imperatively national issue, to be considered not from the standpoint O. political beliefs or party dogmas, but rather from the point of view that it is, or Is not something vital to the national future
 It Is something that really belongs entirely out of the realm of politics for the one reason that it transcends all questions of political belief. The future, possibly the very existence of the nation is dependant on the answer that shall be returned by congress and the discussion should In no event be hampered by subjecting the question to the test of party views or policies.
 Previous to the resignation of Sec retary Garrison this was the one great danger that confronted the question; that il might be brought down to the lovel of party issue, despite the assurance given to President Wilson by the leaders of both parties, that the party question would not be allowed to influence legislation.
 All danger of this Is now averted but If the signs are worth anything the matrer came very close to becom- ing an Issue between the democrats and republicans in spite of the general intention to keep the question where 1t belonged-on @ purely non n-partisan basis.
 This was not due to any fautl on the part of either democrats or re- publicans, but was rather the result of causes over which the members of neither party had control. Briefly stated, the reason lay altogether in the fatuous preparedness program sub mitted by the war department. The widespread objection to the war de partment proposal resulted In nothing less than an almost complete division of the two parties in congress and caused the matter to assume an aspect, II not partisan, at least perilously close to 1t, for the reason that the majority of the democrats accepted the presidential dictum that the program should be swallowed hide and hair by all good democrats while the republi- cans, not being bound by promises to support the unpromising measure gave free expression to theeir opinion Of It's fatuity by open oposition
 In this manner the matter was brought to point where the republi- cans were actually lined up against the democrats Party questions did not enter into the controversy, of course, but the affect would have been

This community has been saddened
by the death of Capt. w. H. Sills. He
was well known in this community and
held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He has been on the Lockhart
branch of the Southern Railway as
engineer for number of years. Of
ten many passengers have said they
felt perfectly safe while Capt. Stills
was at the throttle. AS the poet says
in his song, he kept his hand upon
thasthrottle and his eye upon the rail.
What say about w. H. Stills now will
do him no good, but I will say what
/ do say for the benefit of his friends.
/ have seen him at his leisure hours
take from his pocket a small testa-
ment and read, which no doubt di-
lrected him to that blissful shore where
the angels wait to join him in his
praise forevermore Moxy.

COTTON, WHEAT AND WOOL UP.

Not since the civil war has cotton
sold so high on a gold basis. Spot
cotton is selling above 18 cents a
pound in the local market, which
means that manufacturers have to
work on the basis of 20 cents pound
in order to make sure of clearing
themselves, while there is a lively
prospect that the end is not reached.
At the same time wheat is selling
around $1.70 for cash and there is
renewed talk of asking congress to
place an embargo on further ship
ments. Of course, this could not
possibly be done for weeks hence,
but it is factor in the situation not
to be ignored.
1t appears that the allied govern
ments long ago foresaw that wheat
would be poor crop the world over
and managed to make enormous con-
tracts in this country which have
taken much of the visible supply and
have driven some economists to the
verge of panic. That we shall be able
to stop this export by an embargo
seems very likely. because the
wheat IS already going out rapidly,
much of it via Canada, and if nothing
is done until after the first of the
year it will be too late.
To make the situation more COM
plicated, wool prices are the highest
known for many years. For a time
Australian clips were shut off from
this market, but although the bar
rier has been removed it is going to
be hard to get the amount which is
desired except at extraordinary
prices.
Here are three of the great neces-
stiles of life coming very high to the
ultimate consumer. Those who have
been getting greatly increased wages
will not be injured so much as those
who have salaries based on conditions
of long ago and which have not been
increased.

Little Max Pendergrast is now four
years old, and fine healthy boy.
When but tiny baby, in fact almost
from birth, he suffered great deal
from consultation. His mother, Mrs.
Carl w. Pendergrast, Rey Key, Ind,
heard of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
obtained bottle of it from the drug
store, and with it was able to quickly
correct this condition.
Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin has saved them
from calling the doctor many times.
and that she will never be without a
bottle of it in the house to use when
needed. She found it equally effective
as a laxative for herself and other
members of the family
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild
in action and positive in effect. 1t
does not gripe or strain, and contains
no opiate or narcotic drug. 1t is the
ideal family laxative, mild and pleas
ant for baby, yet acting quickly on
the strongest constitution.

CLOSE PROFIT MARGIN
IN RAILWAY OPERATION
Southern Railway Reports Net OPP
Grating Income for Most Pros
porous Year

The close margin of profit for a
railroad under present conditions is
strikingly shown by figures submitted
by President Harrison in the annual
report of Southern Railway company
for the fiscal year ended June 80
1916. In the most prosperous year of
the company's history the net operat-
ing income 1921 ,OO4 4,OO5.O9) repre-
sented only 5.31 per cent on the in
vestment ($395, ,722, ,785.O6) in the
railroad and equipment which pro-
duced it.
"It may perhaps be said," says Mr.
Harrison, chat there is no industry
except railroad in which so large a
capital is risked for such a return ir
its most successful year."
The Southern News Bulletin saws:
AT a time when the newspapers
daily are printing articles in regard to
increasing railroad gross earnings, as
indicating rising tide of general
prosperity, it is we'll to bear in mind
the very small return on money in.
vested in railroad property.
Many persons are misled into be-
lieving that the railroads are fabu.
lossly prosperous by the mere size of
the figures in which the earnings of
large railroads are expressed, but il
should be remembered that an enor.
nous sum of money was required to
construct and equip their plants and
that the return on each dollar in.
vested is relatively small.
1T Is manifestly in the interest of
the employees Of road and of the
public served that the railroad secure
new capital for additions and i'm.
provements to it's plant so that it NAV
give better service and offer enlarged
employment. However, this can be
accomplished only by allowing the
railroad to earn an amount on the
capital already invested sufficient To
promise return on the additional
capital desired. columbia Record.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Nov. 6,-Oh, this
beautiful weather we are having is
just fine, so nice for sowing small
grain and there will be a great deal
sown. The cotton crop will soon be
all picked out and there is none being
held in this section for higher prices.
1t seems the people are willing to
take the present prices. 1t is all right
for the fellow who is making a good
crop, but there are only few and
they are far between, as I see it,
that are making a good crop. All
produce has advanced in price. Isn't
there some speculation? / think so,
for the loss of shortage in bread and
food stuff should not be so high, yet
not before another year if I see it
Alright Sugar and meat should not
be so high. Hasn't flour gone too
high. Well, I don't know how it is
or what's the remedy. Some say the
war is the cause. That's not the
cause. Why, there is no more people
to feed in the war than there was
when they were at home. Have you
ever thought about it? I guess there
will be speculation as long as time. I
think the government ought to look
after these things and see how things
are going on.

department was surely good There
was some fine grain shown and the
ladies' Domestic Science department
was fine. There was a large crowd
present and fine dinner served on the
ground. This writer was invited to
eat of the good things but being too
sick my appetite did not call for any
thing. Met many good people there,
