That isn't the sort or prosperity they
are wishing for. The cost of the Euro
pean war would have almost been suf-
ficient to have developed all the indus
ing happy homes and high wages for
all. This country still owes a billion
dollars accruing from its civil war, 60
years ago. But it really doesn't seem
like war expense should amount to
much to a nation whose people are
paying more than a million dollars a

tion, and, while a few Mexicans have
stepped over the line and invited ar
rest, it is possible that the danger
from that source is not alarming
There are two real reasons, however
for the present war campaign: One
is politics, the other is the Worldwide
War Trust. Preparedness to proper
extent is all right; but the gush about
immediate war should have no founda-
tion of fact. If it comes, forced upon
flimsy pretext, it will constitute a
crime too serious and too horrible to
contemplate. A year ago President
Wilson's admonition to press and peo-
pie was: BE careful what you say
and avoid any language which might
endanger the neutrality of this coun.
try" But it is different now. That
same President Wilson, with his hair
standing straight up, is waving his
can conjure, and demanding that con-
gress back him in case his attitude
brings war. And the effect looks like
the World -Wide-War Trust had already

Just why should a great churchman

THEY CAN BLAME THEMSELVES.

News from every part of Alaska Is to the ef- feet that the prohibition party has sent propa- gandists who are reported to be working with remarkable tenacity, accompanied with degree of confidence to gain their point; which is to make Alaska dry. In this, the advocates may succeed or they may not, the return of election alone will tell.
 While We hardly think the prohibitionists will win their point this year; if the liquor dealers fail to wake up and realize fully that they can- not force disgraceful results of their trade upon the public indefinitely without the privileges granted them be restricted; they are mistaken. This fight against them was brought about by their own acts. Peoples sense of decency can not be shocked indefinitely with impunity. For the liquor dealers to think that they can do this, that and other things just because they pay a license is ridiculous Because they pay their taxes, is no reason why the public should suffer nuisances on citizens premises If patron of a saloon doesn't know when he has enough he should be classed by the saloon-keeper as nuis- ance. and not be permitted to shock the decency of the public anymore than the public will permit it in private yard or street. What the prohi- bitionists are fighting is the abuse of privileges. Consequently, it is up to the liquor dealers to see that the abuses complained of do not appear.

HARD TO DIGEST.

News from Juneau states that the demo- cratic convention held in that city for the pur- pose of nominating candidates for the territorial legislature, ticket was made up composed of the following named candidates: J. NJ Tanner, of Skagway, for Senator and ". ". Casey, J. J. Connors, Nels Anderson and J. z. Bayless of Ju- neau for Representatives. Juneau must be the only place where democrats can be found, be- cause not a single democrat was nominated out

is any old thing that may come along. Conclu- sively, Juneau is the only place where democrats have survived the tendency of the time Either that or they want to hog it all. But that is noth- ing new.
 The situation is pitiful to contemplate. Just think. not a democrat in either Haines. Sitka, Petersburg. Rake, Sulzer, Wrangel, Hadley, or even ketchikan. But what became of them all? Four years ago they were plentiful enough. Even two years ago we found them in spots here and there. Of course we all know that it is permiss- ible for man to change his mind; and if it is permissible for one man. it must be permissible for all men. In this case it must be that all men changed their minds. If such is the case, then We cannot very well blame the Juneau dem oorats for "hogging' it all. On the other hand if there are still few democrats, particularly in ketchikan the Juneau people played dirty trick on them. And, by ginks, if Ketchikan democrats attempt to digest that trick. We fear that there won't be enough of them left to cast shadow at the coming election.

Finally. returning to the military phase, and
