workers and that tho people of An chorage and other cities protest this bill It is a wonder that it could ever have been brought in for req sonable consideration in Congress. Surely Alaskans are entitled to as much democracy and political and economic freedom as tho rest of the country. Surely the man who works within a section of tho Territory whore through tho railroad passes has the right to organize and to labor for improved conditions.
 Secretary Lane of course is in- terested in the construction of the railroad. So are his engineers. The bureaucracy that has control of that work does not want it h&mpered with workers agitation, no matter what scale of wages is paid and no matter what conditions of employ ment ere provided.
 The engineers want to drive through the work with power to suppress all labor union activities and whom the work is completed to be in such a position that labor will have just as much rights before the law as corpse ol the di~Sccting table.
 It is tho railroad engineers con- ception of the proper thing. It is the New Freedom applied to AL askc. It explains why the demo- cratic administration is So beloved and why every one of it's repres IT, tatives will find such enormous sup port It shows how the friends of labor and the friends of Alaska give their undivided time to devis- ing ways end means Of mck'ug the workers and Alaskans love them more and more As a sentiment of the democratic slogan "a full terri torial form of government" it cer- tainly is full enough. It ought to please every democrat that ever came over the pike. It has tho Beveridge bill backed off the boards and could only have beol devised by men (like Lane) who "know AL askan conditions thoroughly.
 Certainly the bill in its way is . beauty. The suggestive mcnner in which the public order (polico regu- lations) and the Public Health is connected in the Bill ought not to be lost upon those who read it. May be it is felt that since camp accomo- dations may not be so conducive to the public health and as labor agi- tation against such ic not to be tole- rated, the engineers commission feel that special rules os to quarantine may be needed as well as special expressive measures regarding too free criticism and too gener- ous agitation against impossible la bor conditions.
 Alaska is a long ways from Wash ington. The wireless and the rail- road and tho steamship seem not to have brought 1t any closer. But at any rate such a measure as the Houston Bill is proof that modren methods have not been lest upon the railroad commission and what they want is the strong arm to throttle union labor and to boss ut- terly end completely the job.
 They can thus control the situa- tion. They can pay even less than they paid last year. Troublesome junkettsrs will heve been avoided. The New Freedom will hevo materialized with the commis- sion. end they will be independent of all annoying labor agitation. It's as great as it's democratic.

For Asthma, Try Killing the Cat

Asthma is not a disease-any more.
1t is not a spasmodic condition OF
the bronchial muscle fibres. 1t is not
a "neurosis." 1t is not hereditary,
catching or incurable. 1t is a symp-
tom produced by sensitization to some
protein-pollen, animal dandruff, or
perhaps some protein in the food or
in some cases a protein derived from
bacteria or entamebas present in a
septic focus, such as diseased tonsils,
pyorrhoea pockets, dental root alb
cesses. The victim is vulnerable to
the particular protein substance to
which he just happens to be sensi-
tized, much as some cantakerous NOR
tails are sensitized to shell-fsh, cater
pillars or other factors of hives.
The only way to determine posi-
lively what particular protein is the
cause Of spasmodic or bronchial
asthma is by endermal tests. That is,
minute quantity of each of the sew
eral possible proteins is injected into.
not under, the skin of the patient, un
like reaction shows which of the pro-
teins is his Nemesis. Having thus dis
covered what produces his attacks, all
he has to do is avoid the causative
protein.
For example, teacher suffered an
asthmatic attack every time she Wis
tied her uncle's home in the country
The attack came on only after she had
entered the house. She had no at
lacks while she was at home in the
city. The attacks occurred regard

teacher reacted to an endermal test
with cat dandruff Uncle killed the cat.
The teacher had no more asthma.
And again: A stenographer down
with "grippe"-which is a mere name
we give an Illness until we can find
out what is the matter-suffered an
intense and alarming attack of bron-
chial asthma which lasted for some
days. But this occurred over a week
after the grippe" had passed away.
The search for the guilty protein was
in vain until a little milk was used
for the endermal test, and the patient
reacted strongly to the milk. Milk
was cut out of the diet. The asthma
disappeared. Six weeks later she
suffered another severe asthmatic at
tack. Then she agreed to an absolute
divorce from milk, and has never had
another asthmatic symptom.
A gentleman OF ieisure-in fact a
newspaper editor-found himself reg
ularly afflicted with mild asthmatie
wheeling, STIFFNESS. watering of the
nose and eyes, and general distress at
about 2 o'clock each afternoon. He
reacted TO cat dandruff. His folks kept
no cats-hadn't any use for 'em. But a

Bread and Milk club, and sure enough,
it cured his cat fever. Absent treat

STOP MEDDLING WITH OUR
MAIL.

Briefly stated, President Wilson's
drastic note to the allies on the sea
issue, admonishes them to keep their
noses out of the United States mail
The president holds that seizure and
enforced loss to Americans of mail in
transit over seas, must cease if the
belligerents care to remain on friend
ly relations with this government He
holds that the rights of neutrals are
as sacred as the rights of the warning
nations; that these rights must be
strictly observed; that under no cir
CumstanCeS can a neutral nation per-
nit arbitrary denial of its priv
ileges by another power that hap
pens TO be at war, and that only a
radical change in the policies the
British and French governments have
been pursuing and restoration to the
United States of its full rights as
neutral power will satisfy this gov
eminent.
From the presidents course in
dealing with other nations that have
violated neutrality and international
law, there is every reason to believe
that the president is determined to in
sist to the last extreme upon respect
tor the steps he has taken.

TRADE AT THE SOUTH.

Paul M. Warburg, who is a member
Of the federal reserve board, has just
returned from a trip of investigation
To youth America and is greatly i'm
pressed with the possibilities of de-
velopment there and the opportuni-
ties that will be offered for coopera-
ton between all the nations of the
western world. He says that as a re-
suit of the European war the econom-
iC progress of the world will be re-
tarded for a generation or more and
that those nations will be most affect
ed that were accustomed to depend up
on European funds for the develop
ment of their resources and have not
preceded far enough in development
to dispense with the assistance of out
side capital.
Since Europes saving power will
be greatly crippled while the financial
power of the United States has grown
by European misfortune, Mr.. Warburg
feels that it will be both our opportun-
ity and our duty to assist in develop
ing the industries of those South
American republics which are still
utp6uutul uDUl circuit IOT luS
completion of their economic develop
ment. But he gives warning that the
countries now at war will never con-
sent to the loss of their trade in South
America without struggle and pleads
that this country give as much fee
dom to American enterprise as is en-
joyed by European competitors.
The New York Journal of Com
merce, in commenting upon the views
of Mr.. Warburg, says that no doub.
there will be an opportunity which has
not existed heretofore for helpless to
develop the industry and trade of the
the countries of Latin America and for
establishing relations of interchange
with them such as have not existed be-
fore but the Journal of Commerce in
sists that it will not be well to over
calculate results.
Ii is true that the commercial ma
tions of Europe will come out of the
dened with debt and it will take long
war economically crippled and bur
period for them to recuperate. In the
meantime the United States will have
a decided advantage in greatly re-
duced foreign Indebtedness and large
accumulation of capital. But it must
be remembered that there will be SER
ious readjustments to be made at
home and disturbed relations to be re-
stored abroad. Our industries have
been devoted in large measure to fur -.
nishing munitions and other supplies
in the warning nations. There have
been increases in prices and wages
which will subside with more or less
rapidity. There has been much for
eign borrowing and repayment will
be slow. And the fundamental eco
nomic fact must not be overlooked
that trade with other nations must
consist mainly of an exchange of pro-
ducts and not of sales of our own pro-
ducts for the money of other nations.
South America is in a comparatively
early stage of development and while
the natural resources are there the

There can be no palliation for the lie

cannot be blamed if it echoes the
nasty dictum of the Psalmist that "All
men are liars"
All men are not liars. Also. there
are newspapers that earnestly try 10

making the public appreciate this is
rendered difficult by an orgy of black

THE ACTUAL LEADER.

The New York World, referring to
the fact that Mr. Taft, the actual lead
er of the republican party, is taking
no part in the controversy now going
on over candidates and platform, says
he was the defeated nominee of his
party in 1912, and by all the rules of
politics he should remain chief of the
organization until his successor shall
have been named. By reason of char
acter and ability as well as position,
he is entitled to Difference as a coun-
sellor In common decenCy his late
followers owe him honor and respect
1t is not William Howard Taft,
however, who occupies the position of
leader That place has been usurped
by Mr. Roosevelt, who does not pre-
tend that he is republican; who was
not the republican leader four years
ago; who, in fact, headed a party in
opposition to the republicans; who
even now makes it plain that in GER
tain contingencies he may again lead,

ganization.

the Texas militia refused to reply to

to accept the burden Of defending the

One does not know whether to

Texas-whether to laugh at the prick

excited Texans. willing to see others

We cannot drive from our memories

from Mexico or the immortal courage
of those heroes who died against the
adobe walls of the Alamo in order that
their great cause might live. Because
their deeds are ever outlined before

fire we cannot but contrast their sacri

of the Texas of today. The compari-

Happily no lives were lost in the

thing is done the utter disregard that
is being shown to police regulations
