No Republican wants the nation to

settle the difficulty without either sew

sorting to hostilities, and while Re-

the part of wisdom and of true patriot
ism for Americans to remain off armed
vessels, nevertheless they must hold.

called by duty or the pressure of cir

ton without sufficient spine to enable
us to stand upright in the face of our

TINE dyestuff situation has shot
into national prominence. Dyes
are conspicuous by their alb
sence. We are confronted with the
tragic possibilities of pink overalls
and white buttons on black clothes.
A dye shipment had to be specially
arranged for with the blockading pow
ers to keep our friend and comforter
the dollar bill his old familiar green.
The real significance of the situation
lies deeper than these picturesque de-
tails that have caught the public eye.
The dye shortage affects every one of
two million workmen who manufac-
ture annually products valued at five
billion dollars, as well as all the peo-
pie dependent on them, and the i'm
mense amount of capital invested in
factories and plants.
One cotton manufactures in his tes-
timony before a committee inVesugat-
ing the situation stated that IL he
could not be assured of an adequate
dye supply within six months he
would have to discontinue business,
and cancel his order for four million
pounds of cotton yarn. The leather
industry, the paper trade, the manu-
facturers of paint. straw work and
wood work, shoe dressing and a long
list of similar articles have all felt
the shortage.
alton will so to lengths where manu-
facturers have to cancel orders are
small We need dyes, and we cannot
import them. Therefore we must
manufacture them. We have the raw
materials, and while our technical
skill in the line may not be up to that
of Germany, who has specialized in
it for decades. still we are quite eff
cient enough and we will learn as we

can't complain about business. But
after the war, comes the rub.
Before the war our dye industry
could not compete with that of Ger
many. That is why we haven't any
dye industry to speak of to-day. The
situation is no reflection on American
manufacturers. 1t is due to a policy
of cooperation among the German
manufacturers. and between the man.
ufacturers and the German govern
ment, which our trade laws make ii
impossible for us to duplicate.
When the Germans sold some par
ticular dye at a high price, an Amer
lean manufacturer would sometimes
try to compete with them. Then the
Germans lowered the price to cost,
and below, and the American factory
had to meet their price and take the
whole shock of the low figure. In
Germany it was distributed among all
the factories, so none of them felt 1t
much. Hence American capital has
been slow to go into dye works, and
now that dyes are selling at fancy
figures, capital is not much more
eager, because after the war the same
old situation will crop up. A dye
works represents heavy investment.
The solution Of the dilemma which
seems in a fair way to be adopted is

CHURCH ADVERTISING PAYS

NHURCH advertising pays"
This is the consensus of opinion
of ministers and laymen who met
yesterday at Chicago from points all
over Illinois with the Chicago Adver-
tising Club for discussion of church
publicity.
All of the speakers spoke from ex-
perience. They had been using the
columns of their home newspapers.
Here are a few of their observations:

Every minister draws his salary
as an advertising man.
The church bulletin board should
be large enough to give every
pedestrian punch in the eye.
The experiment of church advertis-
ing has been tried out in the Telegraph
for a period of nearly two years, to a
point where it is no longer an expert
ment. Its success in Harrisburg has
been demonstrated.
There is no mystery in the drawing

paper is read, and reaches the indi-
vidual when he is in a reflective and
receptive mood. The wonder IS moi
that church advertising succeeds but
that church people have been so slow

THE CRISIS AT WASHINGTON

TT is gratifying, during the present
crisis at Washington, to find Re
publicans lined up shoulder TO
shoulder with President Wilson in de-
fense of the national honor. This mat
ter of the rights of Americans on
armed vessels is no party issue: it in
wolves the liberties of our people for
all time. liberties never before ques-
toned. and on it hangs the good name
of the nation among the governments
of the world.
What we are contending for in this
natter says the President, lis of the
very essence of things that have made
America a sovereign nation" This is
true, and, being true, it becomes essen
tial that every true American stand
back of President Wilson at this time.
Senator Lodge, the ranking Repub-
ican of the Senate, sums up the sit
nation concisely in these words:
The President takes the precise
position that | have taken and have
been urging I'm public speeches for
the last eighteen months OF course
] shall stand by him. ! agree fully
with what he says. | believe il
would proclaim us to the world as
towards 10 tell our citizens that
they must not exercise their un-
doubted rights, and that If they do
We shall not protect them. A ma
tion that viii not protect its citi-
5ens cannot protect itself. and II
democracy falls to protects itself
how can We hope to live?
The President says: What we
are contending for in this matter is
of the very essence of the things
that have made America a soVer-
etgn nation. She cannot yield them
without conceding her impotency
as a nation and making virtual sur
render OF her Independent position
among the nations of the world"
cord II ms is Ilso the 5octrina stP IN tu nae se
preached all my life. and | am with
the President who sets it forth and
stands by it.
To reverse the President at this
time would be TO place the stamp of
the craven on the brow of Congress.
for it is not for a moment to be
imagined that the country would sup
port the Kitchin- Bryan element in that
body in its effort TO surrender the
rights of the country and besmirch its
honor at the behest of Berlin and
Vienna. 1t is not surprising TO find
the shadow of Bryan across this plot
against the good name of the country.
but it is astonishing to observe the
strength of his influence in Congress.
The very fact that he has been able to
ALLEVIATE large numbers of Democratic
congressman from the support of the
President on an issue the lines OF
which are so clear cut and easy to
understand, and that the President
is compelled to turn for his support
TO the Republicans of the House and
Senate, we'll illustrates the breadth OF
the split in the Democratic party, with
Bryan on one side and the President
on the other.
In this connection it may he OBJ

national situation i'm which President
Wilson has found himself he has had

SOME JOKE.
strike.

It is rumored that the Shackleford committee appointed to nominate a Republican candidate for delegate to congress has about decided to tender Al White, of Valdez and Port Wells, the nomination. This would be emi- nently fitting, because man who has the ability to have himself elected delegate to the convention from Val deg and then proceed to Port Wells hold another caucus and represent both localities in person in the same convention, will cause Wickersham to shake in his boots.-Cordova Times.
 Even at that we believe that Al White would make better Delegate and do more for Valdez than has Wickersham. Valdez has never re- ceived a dollar from Wickersham, only in the shape of subsidy for his defunct paper, and he has consistently fought this port on every occasion.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-05-15

will support Roosevelt for President and Wickersham for Delegate to Con- gross from Alaska. Just imagine Charles Heron, ex-chairman of the Republican Territorial Committee, and a man who has consistently fought Wickersham, and Harry C.. Steel, an editor who has denounced the delegate in the strongest lan- guage permissible in newspaper for years, suddenly experiencing change of heart and coming out as support CTS of the Delegate.
 Of course every man has the wOm- ans privilege of changing his mind, but we are firmly convinced that something more potent than love for the territory or admiration for Mir. Wickersham was responsible for the sudden conversion of the gentlemen to the Wickersham cause.
 And one inch lower down in the same column the Pioneer rather in- consistently remarks that "it might as we'll be understood now that the Pioneer is not political newspaper, nor has it any axes to grind"

the matters of police protection, and sanitation. From all reports, both are badly needed, and if the govern ment does not take steps to meet the needs of the people in this respect, who will?
 We do not think it necessary for an epidemic of typhoid to arise be- fore provisions are made to protect the public health, nor that murder and arson and other crimes become rampant before proper police protec- tion is established, and under pres ent conditions along the fine of the government road, with the exception of Seward, there is no authority for the establishment of either until this or a similar bill is passed.
 MT. Wickersham is deeply inter- ested in the working man all of a sudden; watchful that their rights shall not be infringed upon, which is as it should be. The only criticism in this respect that we can make is that it is too bad that his interest has been aroused at this late date, and he was conspicuous by his silence during the labor troubles at Anchorage, when his services in favor of the labQring man might have been more appreci- ated.
 Had he fought" as hard to secure that 50-cent chedule as he has in matters of infinitely less importance, there would probably have been TO strike.

WORLDS COAL OUTPUT.

The annual coal output of the world has been for several years about one and one-third billion tons, of which the United States has pro- duced approximately 40 per cent; Great Britain 23 per cent, and Ger many 20 per cent These three coun- tries produce S3 per cent of the coal of the world. The United States eX- ported but little over 20,O00,O00 tons in 1912, most of which went to Can ada; Germany exported over 34,00O,- 0OO,OOO, the largest customers being Austria, Holland and Belgium; En- gland exported 72,0OO,OOO tons, Italy, France and Germany being the larg- est customers. Efforts are being made to increase the coal trade of the United States in Latin America and Europe.

WATCHFUL WICK.

Delegate Wickersham has sent to every newspaper in Alaska copy of House Bill No. 15157, giving the President certain powers and author ity in regard to the making of "po- lice, quarantine and sanitary rules and regulations as shall be necessary to preserve order and to preserve the public health along and in the vicin- ity of said railroad or railroads con- structed, being constructed or located by survey, and within the townsites established or to be established" etc. Attached to this bill, which is pro- duced in another column, the delegate attacres a typewriter slip, which reads as follows:
 "This full territorial form of gov ernment' bill was prepared by Secre- tary Lanes office and introduced in Congress at his request. It's effect will be to give. the Alaskan Railroad Commission autocratic power to sup press labor organizations and other free people. Do you want it?"
 Just how this is to be accomplished under the bill we cannot see. The Delegate evidently has found a joker that has escaped our notice, for we cannot find it. A similar bill was passed with reference to the Panama Canal, and the authority granted hereunder was exercised to the full est extent, and we have yet to learn of any labor Unions being suppressed in the Canal Zone, despite the fact that large majority of the laborers were organized. Why it should work differently in Alaska we cannot un- derstand. There are five thousand people in Anchorage and vicinity. The town is not incorporated, there are no municipal officials to govern
