THRIET OLE TIME

One of the most important lessons
any individual, young or old, can
learn is the value of time; for time
is not only money but can be turn
ed into money if the habit of thrift
attends it's use. Those who employ
labor quickly realize the Importance
of the time element in all business
transactions, for the labor cost,
which is so vital an element in the
cost of everything, depends upon the
thriftness of the worker in the use
of his time. The minute that does
not produce something is not only
wasted minute but costly min
ute to somebody. Many man fails
because he cannot get results from
labor.
Children should be taught to re-
gard the time they are not in school
as an opportunity to earn money. 1t
should not be idle time, or merely
play time, for the child does not
need recreation so much as a change
of occupation. Most of US play too
much; and the child that is taught
to turn the out of school hours into
recreation that brings returns has
leaned one of life's most helpful
lessons.
A young man applied to a bank
recently, saying that he worked
nights and had a few hours a day
to give to other work and wanted to
help the family by these added eff
forts. He has the right stuff in him.
In the daily papers comes the story
of man who was in a like position,
and, seeing an advertisement for a
man who could give a little extra
time to the work in mind, answered
it and added ten dollars a week to
his salary for eleven years with no
injustice to other demands. He was
the only applicant.
The world is full of disgruntled
and dissatisfied individuals who
would be happier and far better off
If they would stop whining and com
planning, and look around for OPP
portunities to earn extra money. or
spend the spare hours in preparation
for the greater opportunities that
open to the trained man and woman
The correspondence schools have
done wonders in training students
for better things, and merit the
thanks of all who are interested in
the improvement of the race.
Thrift of time will make a man
rich beyond his fondest dreams. and
waste of it will make him poor,
however rich he may be, and the
best lesson you can teach your
child, yea. the best lesson you can
learn yourself, is to use the time
you are not working for your boss.
or sleeping, or resting, in such a
way that it will put dollars in your
pocket or brains in your head. 1t

WAR ORDER PROSPERITY

The prosperity bunk with when
the country is being flooded by the
Democratic campaign committee
contains statements insisting that ii
is not war order" prosperity.
Taking Secretary of Commerce Red
fields tip, the Democrats character
ize as munitions of war only such
things as cartridges, explosives and
shells. They claim that increases in
all other exports are due to the
Democratic policies. A horse or a
blanket. or a pair Of army shoes
or a commercial automobile, going
to Europe is not a munition of war.
But when a call is made by the war
department for these same articles
to supply the troops in Mexico, we
find the Democratic house OF repre-
senatives appropriating money for
their purchase, and they are referr-
cd to as munitions OF war. When
these supplies are intended for q
Mexican campaign. they are NUM-
tons; when they are Dragged about

Hughes: There should be a re-
duction in the number of elective
offices. The ends of democracy Will
be better attained to the extent that
the attention of the voters may be
focused upon comparatively few Of
fees, and the incumbents can be
held strictly accountable for the adj
ministration. This will tend to pro
mote efficiency in public office by
increasing the effectiveness of the
voter and by diminishing the OPP
portunities of political manipulators
who take advantage of the multiple
ity of elective offices to perfect
their schemes at the public expense.

WHAT PREVENTED A PANIC

In his address before the Detroit |
Athletic club President Wilson re-
marked that the very men who had
most earnestly opposed the enact
ment of the federal reserve law now
admit that it saved the country
from a ruinous panic at the out
break Of the war. 1t is surprising
that the president should reiterate
a statement, which, although it has
been frequently made by Democratic
stump speakers and party organs,
has absolutely no foundation in
fact. AS to the merits of the federal
reserve system as it has been es-
tablished, there is still a wide di-
vengeance of disinterested and intel
ligent opinion It's best features were
derived from the report made by
Chairman Aldrich of the monetary
commission, a body appointed under
Republican administration whose
recommendation were based on ar
| exhaustive investigation of financial
conditions both in this country and
in Europe But the plan which a
Democratic congress adopted deyiat-
ed in some important respects from
the Aldrich measure, and the best
opinion is that the changes which
it embodied were nearly all for the
worse.
Thus far the federal reserve sys-
tenn is on trial and its practical value
can not as yet with any assurance
be determined Experience has al
ready shown that in various import
ant respects it needs amendment
and that its operations are effeeting
an initiation of the currency whose
ultimate consequences, should it be
permitted to continue, are recogniz
ed by expert observers as occasion
for serious concern. Yet its import
ance as a piece of constructive leg
islation may be acknowledged, and
it is natural that the Democrats
who have so little legislation of that
character to record, should take
great credit to themselves fol-
enacting the federal reserve law
even though they did derive the
fundamental idea of it from Re-
publican source. They at least prov
ed thereby that they knew a good
thing when they saw it, which foT
them is a very infrequent demon
stration.
But whatever may be the value of
the federal reserve banking system
and whatever good may through its
fundamentally have been accom-
plished, it won't do to credit it with
having saved the country from a
panic at the beginning of the war,
and the reason why such a claim is
inadmissable is as simple as 1t Is
conclusive. The reason is that when
the war broke out the federal re-
serve banks had not yet begun to
do business. 1t was not until No
vember, 1914, that the new financial
: system went into operation, and
/ panic was averted by an agency
: with which neither the Democratic
; party nor the Wilson administration
! had anv connection.
) What saved the situation in Aug
= ust. 1914, was the Vreeland-Aldrich
= law. enacted soon after the crisis
r of 1907. which authorized the issue
- of national bank notes on collatera
e other than United States bonds. The

CITY ORDINANCE IS TO BE GIVEN A TEST
 IN DISTRICT COURT

The city ordinance passed by the Juneau City Council some time ago making 1t a misdemeanor to carry, deliver, or take any intoxicating li- Quors to a house of i'll fame will be tested before the District Court.
 This morning an appeal of the case of Charles, Freegrove was perfecteI and the papers on the appeal were filed in the office of the District Court. The case will probably come up at an early date.
 Freegrove was arrested by the city police officers after he had carried several sacks of bottled beer tc one of the houses in the lower end of the city and was given a jury trial on October 18th He was found guilty and the next day sentence amounting to fine of $50 and % days in jail was imposed. George Irving is acting at attorney for Free grove in the case.

JUNEAU IS LIVELY.

F. F. W. Lowle, general agent at Juneau for the Ca- nadian Pacific Railway and steamship lines, and who is in the city on his way north, after attending the c. P. R. agents meeting in Winnipeg, pronounces Juneau as the liveliest town north of Vancouver, says the Van couver World of last Thurs day. Nov. 2Srd. Three big gold quartz mines are oper- atlng there, using the most modern methods in the world. The Treadwell and Alaska-Juneau mines are employing about 25OO men and the Alaska-Gastineau mine. which is being equipp- ed with the last word in mining machinery, will soon give work to another 1000 or 1900 men.
 In all, he says, Juneau has about 12,OOO inhabitants and a big change is slowly talk ing effect in the class of buildings that are going up. Modern apartment houses and other buildings are being planned and. generally speak ing the city is going ahead.
 The miners are well taken care of as far as accommo- dation is concerned, swim ming baths. bowling alleys and other conveniences being at their disposal.

MILADY'S HOSE WILL NOW SOON
 BE WOOD FIBRE

Miladys dainty feet encased in wood! Perish the thought; yet the fact is true. They will not be the wooden shoes of the European pea sant, yet they will be wood, just the same-artificial silk stockings made from wood
 What is more, the manufacturers of wood pulp into artificial silk for stockings and other wearing appar- el may become one of the North vests most profitable minor indus tries, according to Dr. A. H. Ben son, professor of industrial chem istry at the University of Wash ington
 Artificial silk is manufactured from nitroglcerine, or by copper ammonia process. but neither of these methods can compete with the wood-pulp method in cheapness of production, said Professor Benson.
 A very pure wood pulp is treat ed with caustic soda and carbon sul- phide, resulting in a jellylike sub stance called viscose. This jelly is forced through perforated plate after manner much similar to the way macaroni is made. The long strings which come through the plate are partially dried and then gathered by machine which stretches them into long, tough f- bres These flores are spun into the silk" thread.
 The University of Washington has experimentod with Northwest woods, and finds the cottonwood and spruce growing there make an ex- cellent quality of viscose. Both the chemicals used, caustic soda and carbon disuplhide, are also obtain able in the Northwest, said Prof essor Benson The experiments were carried on by Victor Nelson, a for mer student in the department of chemistry.
 silk is now made by this method at Marcus Hook, Pa, on a large commercial scale. Dr. Benson has taken up the matter of interesting manufacturers in it's production in the Northwest, and has recently suggested to the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, which asked him to speak on commercial possibilities in Washington, that capital be found to start a silk factory
