NOT QUITE EVERYTHING

A Fairbanks paper resolved on the first of the year to print all the news, regardless of consequences. While we are not familiar with conditions in Fairbanks, we venture the assertion that the resolution has already been broken a dozen times and the new year not yet ten weeks old. It is all right to talk about printing all the news but the mark of journalistic greatness is to know what not to print. Even here in prosaic Valdez, where the going and coming of every man is sp open book to his neigh bors, it would not be prudent for a paper to print all the news, or even half of it. No, indeed!

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

 No economist has put enough empha- sis on tue fact that if the cost of living Is higher now it is to large extent because the average man is demanding more comforts and luxuries. and these must cost more. Before the days of plumbing and bathrooms the workman missed some onerons bills. but be Is not ready to throw the plumbing out of the house.
 Oil is cheaper for light than electric ity. but people pay more for modern light because they want the better service even ut the higher prices. Workmen by the thousands have phon- ogl1phs. n form Of entertainment un- known until very few years ago.
 Even street cars are rather a new thing. and tue poorest families spend many dollars every year for this serv- ice, which has become indispensable. Magazines are purchased now by many people who ten years ago had never subscribed for such d publication. Thousands of articles are for sale in every department store. of which q large percentage are purchased at some time or other by the average wage earning family.

GIRLS WHO DISAPPEAR FROM
 HOME

Gen. hiram Bingham, former po- lice commissioner of New York city, is quoted as saying that 50,000 girls disappear annually in the United States. Nothing in his whole depart ment service, Gen. Bingham confes- ses, filled him with greater pity than the following single incident.
 "It was dusk in New York, the hours when the streets are full of men and girls hurrying from work. The crowds streamed across Union square toward the subway in a great food the whole population of an average sountry town passing the corners ev- cry minute. Suddenly around the cor ner whirled a great express wagon. The driver whistled shrilly and the crowd, made wary by long experi- ence, scattered in all directions. All but one girl. A single moment she hesitated, glanced both ways, dropped step, and then, changing her mind, dashed forward in an attempt to gain the other side.
 "The moments hesitation was Ia tai, The frightened horses rushed on. Ten minutes later her lifeless body was borne away in an ambu- lance of the city morgue.
 There were no marks of identiti- cation on the girls person. The po- lice were reduced to the necessity oi publishing description in the pa pers, hoping that relatives would come to claim the body. And in an swer to that description, which was made as detailed and accurate as pos sible, more than 300 women within reach of New York papers confessed that girls whom they loved, cores bonding to the description of this girl, had disappeared. Not one of them was able to identify her. She was buried after a time at the city E expense.
 Three hundred women returned to pursue their fruitless search else where. What had become of the 300 girls for whom they searched?"- Alaska Post.

ADS AND ADVERTISING.

Quality counts in advertising, and in newspaper advertising quality means home circulation.
 When a paper is losing it's home circulation it is forced to cut it's ad- yertising rates to hold business!
 The old axiom that cheap things are the mos- expensive applies more to advertising >uan to anything else in the printing trade.
 There is more to advertising than a set-up in the paper.
 When an advertisement is not read it is dear at any price.
 All things being equal, thes news paper that goes into the home and is read there is the most valuable ad- vertising medium. :.
 A paper like this in community like this is generally one of the best advertising mediums in the country It goes into the home and is thoroly read there.

THE sQUABBLE IN WASHINGTON

The question over which congress ia divided and the President finds himself in a troublous position, is that of recognizing British insistence for a change in the rules of the sea. Under rules heretofore observed mer- chantmen have been permitted to carry a bow gun of small calibre as protection against pirates and priva- &eers. It was a provision purely of defense, and it has been held by all nations, so far as the books show, that merchantman, even thus weak Ky armed, became 8 ship of war in case she attacked.
 England has been arming her mer- chantmen not merely for defense, but for attack, and it is alleged that these boats have been attacking submarines on sight, as a substantial reward is offered by the government for their destruction. It seems very distinct that such vessels at once lose their character as merchant vessels and become ships of war. And as such, they need not be warned of subma- rine or other attack. Nor can non- combatants travel on them with safe ty to themselves.
 President Wilson's position is that undersea boats must not attack an armed merchantmen without warn ing. He does not insist that a mer- chantman must not attack a subma- riue. He goes further and insists on the rights of Americans to travel on belligerent armed merchantmen, and states that before they are attacked neutrals must be removed from the danger zone. It Is his insistance on 1his point that has aroused congress to the fact that he is playing strong pro-ally game.
 Germany insists that England has carried her idea so far that it de- wolves upon the navy of the kaiser, as a matter of self-protection, to sink any British merchantmen that is armed, whether she claims she is armed for offense or defense. Con- xress sees the danger emanating from this enterprise and urges that all Americans be warned off belligerent merchantmen.
 England has taken the strange po- .sition that submarine is pirate. Yhe proposes to reverse the rules of war. In discussion of this point the New York World, says:
 "The one change suggested by En- gland, which insists, as Germany al- leges, that ships equipped for war and under orders to make war, when as against submarines they may do so with comparative safety, is rather in- congruous.
 "This contention, if established, will give Germany the opportunity it has sought. It will justify through out that empire all the mistakes and atrocities of which 1t may be guilty. 1t will give it standing in interna- aional law. If Great Britain is will ing to make such an issue she must abide by the results. There is no reason, however, why the United States should support the British de, parture, or why, if it is to be insisted upon, individual Americans should risk life and property upon so-called merchantmen which are in reality ships of war.
 "In the earlier days of submarine warfare it was Germany that was lawless. AS it stands today, Great Britain is the greater offender. ."-Ta, coma Daily News.

HEADED FOR ROCKS
NATIONAL TREASURY IN A DE.
PLoRABLE CONDITION.
Democrats Make Loud Claims of "Proa

nous neutrality-suspicious.
Beyond All Reason.

The Democratic administration,
which is loudly procIaiming prosper
ity," is piling up a government deficit
of nearly 100000 every "a hours.
Congress has made appropriations
for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1917,
which total $1.630. $685. 600. Every
source of revenue available at pres
ent will fan short $444, $4,000 of rails
ing that sum.
The estimates of incomes are: From
customs duties S225.0OO,00O. inter
nal laws $515,OOO,OO0. new rev.
enue law $205,0O0,00O. sale of Pam
anna canal bonds remaining in the
treasury $240.569,000 That is a to-
tai of S945,0O0oO0 with which to pay
81, 63O, $4,000.
or the appropriations for the cur
rent year 1910, 1903 $50 are attributable
TO military and naval preparedness
and on account OF the war situation.
In addition to that item. which is
looked upon as extraordinary. the
Democrats have arranged TO spend in
the present year S3S6.O00.0O0 in ex-
cess of the revenues of the nation.
Not only are they facing deficit
of S444,S14.00O. but TO keep 1t down to
that total they are figuring on selling
$240,569,000 Panama canal bonds. thus
adding to our bonded debt by $240, &c.,
900. In other words, in one years OPP
erations. they would increase by
$685.. 3S3, 900 the amount the country
owes. That is more than two-thirds
the total national debt OF $l,02S, 564.

During the first eight months of
the present year our shipments of ma
teriai exceeded similar shipments made

Undoubtedly the impression left

seeking line of least resistance. His
innumerable changes of mind ON i'm
portant questions point inevitably to
a sacrifice Of principle In favor of
political expediency. More significant
still have been his direct surrender to
dictation from special interests. His
well-known reliance upon unofficial adj

inability to stand alone. TO mark out

Conditions After the War.

When the war ends. the demand for
our strictly war exports viii abrupt
ly cease. The belligerents viii begin
at once TO supply their other needs.
The neutral countries of Europe will
not have to look to America alone for
their supplies. These are conditions
which cannot be avoided. But there
IS greater peril still. Our own home
market, which furnishes n business
eight times as great as even our pres
ent abnormal export trade, will be in
vaded unless an adequate protective
tariff is Immediately imposed. 1t will
be the most attractive market In the
world to gold-hungry Europe.
