In 1912 when Justice Hughes was a
member of the Supreme Court and
was asked to become a candidate for
President, he said:
THE man who on the highest Judi
cial tribunal would consider another
office is fit neither for the one he holds
nor for the one to which he aspires."
Evidently Mr.. Hughes has ex-
perienced a change of mind.

THE brewers are evidently worried
over the prospect of the adoption of
state wide prohibition by the voters
of Missouri at the approaching cleo
ton, and are going so far as to attempt
to seduce the rural press, which is
mostly on the dry side, with tempt
ing offers for advertising space to get
their argument against the adoption
OF the amendment before the people.
One day last week a young man was
a caller at this Office to see if he could
publish this matter, offering to take a
column for three weeks at whatever
price we cared to name. We turned
the proposition down. Nothing wet
goes with us.-Potosi Journal.

A FAVORABLE BALANCE.

Certainly it is pleasure to ob- serve the triumphant chortling of the democratic press over the 'fav- orable" balance of trade that is now so handsomely showing up in the various ports of the nation.
 Piles of food stuffs and neces- saries are going out of the country, millions in the yellow metal callea gold are coming in. H
 Food prices are soaring and the costs prohibitive for millions of tho workers. That's the democratic and the republican idea of favor able balance. sr
 It doesn't appeal to the man who works for wages and finds an emu ty larder at home in quite the same way.
 And that's not so very unreascn- able either.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

The brotherhoods of the railroads are standing pat for the eight hour demands. They have crossed the Rubicon and although there was re- luctance manifested upon the part oi some to make so aggressive a policy theirs, the die has been cast ana they can withdraw now only with ruin to their organizations. The railroads are making vast profits these days. Under ordinary condi- tions they should have an era of prosperity unequalled. They are en- toying the high rates granted by an accommodating Interstate Commerce Commission during a period of de- pression so that watered stock coulO sluice up some profits. They will begin to think twice ere refusing the railroaders. but on the other hand it's the people will pay. The dividends will not be affected. The Pennsylvania road paid g five per cent dividend during the period of worst depression. Hundreds ol employees were laid off. Hundreds of trains were cancelled to the great public inconvenience. But rates were raised and the dividends paid de- spite hard times. In other words the depression did not affect the PeDna road at all. The increased rates on less traffic paid the same old price.
 The othor workers will pay the increase in the wages of the brother hoods. And why not?

SETH LOWS WISDOM.

Seth Low told employers when in Denver that they were foolish to op- pose the American Federation of La bor. He said that the American servative force in the labor move ment and that if they continued to antagonize it they would drive the workers into the more radical l. w. w. The American Federation ci Labcr was really the ally of capital and the opposition to the organiza- tiln that capitalists someumHs ah, wed was unwise and foolish.
 In words to that effect opineu Low of the Civic Federation Anu he spoke the truth.
 Candidly the opposition of en- ployers to most American Federation of Labor organizations is very poor judgment. The biggest lemon they could hand labor would be to recos ni2e the organization and, in re- cognizing it, control it.
 That's what Lows idea is. His association with the safe, sane and conservative leaders on the Civic Federation showed him that long ago. And he with the instinct or his class knows that the opposition to the A. F. of L is not only poor iud gment but a terrible capitalist biunder.
 It is the Seth Lows that see far ahead and speak with wisdom for the capitalists.

The tendency of living things to adopt the natural apearance of their surroundings in order to af- ford protection against those that would otherwise prey upon them is a we'll known scientific fact explain ed in the same manner as of the ptarmigan and the hare.
 It is very interesting fact in connection with this war that sol diers are doing exactly the same thing and both sides are dressing their men so that they will be prac- tically invisible. The Italians and Austrians fighting in the snow clad Alps are clad in snow white uni forms and similarly French ana German marksmen in the Vosges have adopted similar methoi ct concealment.
 The coneealment tends to protec- ton while those who are not thus concealed are the more easily vic. tims of an attack.
 So far the physical tendency to adopt thi3 simple method of protec- tion is trait common to all, but the tendency towards self protection surely will also effect the mental makeup of men in this war also.
 And 1t is there that they have us all at sea. It is the protective psychological effect of tho war upon the human beings involved therein, upon which the future of the world depends.

AND WHAT DOES HEBRON SAY!

In the conventional deliberations at Cordova ono notes no mention of the redoubtable cheiftain Heron. Why this occultation? How this com plete eclipse? Why this base ingrI titude? Who was it re-organized the Second Division republicans, de- coying Gilmore from tho Wicker sham fold to secure his nominations at the Cordova convention? Heron Who was it defied Shack etford as Ajax defied the Tightening at that convention? Heron? Who was it gratified the higher-placed ambl- tions of Gilmore in securing him the nomination, but Heron? And now he is anonentity. Is that republican gratitude that the man who was hustled to the fore front of terri. torial honors from Second Division .obscurity should be delegate to the National Convention, and the very name of Heron suffered to lapse into obscurity while Gilmore sits In alliance with his foes? What indeed dees Charlie Heron say?

WICK AND SHACK.

The republican convention, or the convention Of republican leaders, or to amend it mCrc correctly the con- lention of Sh2ckl sford'3 republi- car henchmen, has met and ad- journcd.
 And they didn't put ono over on Wick, but it appears that Wick put one over on Shack After we have been told that Wickcrsham and ShGckelford had buried the hatcher and made up for all timc, hcre is Wickersham just when he had got Shackolford confident and happy and unusually bcosy, kicking the traces and declaring against any such an Alliance.
 And what then Is to happen? Ob- viously the republicans were com pletely nonplussed s.t the turn of ar-- fairs and adjourned without nomi- hating anyone because they had none to nominate. Obviously, If they do nominate any candidate ne will have some trouble explaining how it is he opposes Wickersham who could have had the nomination a gift, while Wick can pose as thrice tho savior of Alaska who refuses to accept a nomination at the hands of such a bunch Gs dominates the situation so completely
 And what becomes of these Tread wcll and Gastineau love feasts whereat the name of Wickersham is accompanied by toasting cheers: What becomes of the alliance that swept through the Various divisions, whipping all into linc so that they might have a cinch upon the cleo tion.
 And away back in Washington, Wickorsham gives Shack and his merrymen the ha-ha any man enjoys when he puts it over the other fe'- low who wanted to put it over him?
 This man Wick is politically fool ish like fox.

THE SUSSEX CRISIS.

That matters should have reached crisis between the United States and Germany would have been 9 very serious affair were it the first of the kind that had been reached But it is not. And in all probabi1- ity it will not be the last. Germany will likely enough accept in full the United States demands. Later another Lusitania case or another Sussex will lead to the development of another crisis. It is a blessing that after all.>diplomacy affords. 2 safety valve to the pent up forces of the national feelings. Selan.

dency to eliminate the unnecessary. No man wants his machine encum. bered with unnecessary cogs, un- necessary pulleys, unnecessary belt ing. No plant wants to maintain machines that demand the service ot two tenders when one suffices.
 That's one of the psychological effects of the machine in industry the elimination of the unnecessary. 1t is the greatest by far of many effects, and it is one that spreads even beyond the environment. It's part of the new industry philosophy
 In this connection just listen to what a professor speaking to Chi cago audience on the economic si- tuation had to say in one illuminat- ing paragraph: ''To understand the present economic factors of distrt- button, you have got to clear the ground of dogma and look to scien- tifc facts. If 1 wanted to so to Milwaukee by train, but sudden epidemic killed all the train crews, simply could not go. But if II killed off all the owners it would not make single train late. In other words the workers are needed while the bondholders drawing their five per cent may not be in such great demand".
 This shows that private owners are quite unnecessary ill industry, and the rewards thac they obtain in the shape of profits simply a waste of social products they are paid in products expressed in terms of money, the medium of exchange which labor would otherwise oD- tain.
 We observe that kings and princes and rulers are simply soci- al waste, political inutilities. The people can rule themselves. Why should society pay private ownership for doing nothing that is necessary while those that do the necessar, work get but a pittance and then only after hard struggle. Why under the driving compulsion of the psychology of machine production, not eliminate the unnecessary factor of private ownership?
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-04-21
AN INTERESTING FACT.

When the ptarmigan and the Arctic hare change their color with the seasons scientific mon ex- plain it as biological fact because of the protective value of such 8 change, in that those members of the species which by some freak or another first discovered that .en- dency also survived where those who had no such tendency did not: survival of the Attest. Natur- al selection did the rest.

HONORED IN THE BREACH:

Section ? of Chapter 23 of the Session Laws of Alaska 1915 says;
 That the school board shall give an itemized accounting to the city council each month for moneys ex- pended during the previous month.
 As far as the council meetings are concerned. this section of the law has during the past Council been more honored in the breach than in the observance. Why?
