AS TO MEAT.-Swift- & Co., Chi
cago packers, have got out their an
nual report for 1916, and it is a cork
er. The net profits were $40, AGE, 900,
indicating that the high cost of meat
is due to the scarcity of cattle, we
don't think.
However, these enormous profits
were made from a profit of one-half
cent on each pound of output, indi-
eating the highest efficiency in hand

SALOON LICENSE FEE.-Boost-
ing the license fee is one of the poor
est ways yet devised for regulating
saloons. When Ohio boosted the fee
to $1,000 it drove out of business
many little beer saloons, many of
them in the rear of grocery stores.
But it didn't put the dives and tough
SALOONS out of business. It merely
forced them to find other ways of
getting the money. Most saloon
keepers are little more than clerks
for brewers and liquor dealers; and
the rotten booze that many of them
sell is responsible, in part, at least,
for the evil effects of drinking. The
more the state and the brewer taxes
the saloonkeeper, the more he is
tempted to buy the cheapest rot-gut
from the rectifiers and palm it off for
good liquor. And the more he is
tempted to have music, women,
gambling, dancing and other attTac-
lions to draw trade. The hoggish-
ness of brewers and booze-dealers is
largely responsible for the deca-
dence of the saloon. They are doing
more to put the saloon out of bust
ness than the Anti-Saloon league,
which has made most of it's head
way by taking advantage Of the
mistakes of brewers and booze
dealers, who are so greedy for profits

"Hobson'a Choice,0

"Hobson's choice" may best be translated, 'that or nothing" Tobias Robson was a carrier and innkeeper at Cambridge. who erected the hand some conduit there and settled seven lays" of pasture ground toward its maintenance. But the story about him, as told by the Spectator, Is as follows: "He kept stable of forty good cattle. always ready and fit for travelling. But when man came for a horse he was led into the stable where there was great choice, but was obliged to take the horse that stood nearest to the stable door, so that ey' cry customer was alike we'll served. according to his chance. and every horse ridden with the same justice" Milton wrote two quibbling epitaphs upon this eccentric character.

DON'T KNOCK.

Don't knock! And above all things don't use a hammer when you are away from home. Nobody loves a knocker. He is despised by home town folks, and strangers look upon him with suspicion. He is an unde- sirable, without ambition, without civic pride, without scruples. He is lacking in all those qualities which every good citizen possesses.
 Be booster. especially when talk ing about your home enterprises and home prospects. Everybody loves a booster. He is a popular fellow at home and welcome among strangers. He is a desirable citizen, full of en- torprise, proud of his home town and considerate of his neighbors. The knoeker never gets anywhere; the booster always gets there. and he is usually the first to arrive.--Nenana News.

THE MAN FOR GOVERNOR.

Taking an applicant for the govern

 "The Governor of Alaska Eas de- .terrent power in legislation equal to that of one-sixth of the whole Alaska Legislature, since he caiI veto sty bill presented to him and it requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to overcome that veto. He has the Appointment of important officials, especially the officials charged with tile enforcement of laws against ii'e- ga, iiquor traffic. The man who, by hts veto, can exercise the same torce as four men in the Alaska Legislature toward blocking legislation. who, ny his message and his position, can do great deal toward passing and or isinating legislation, who has power to call extra sessions of the Legisla- trre, who appoints some of the offl- cials that enforce the laws, who, in stort, is the chief executive and the highest officer of our Territory should bring to that task not only mature and unbiased judgment, uaiEfuenced by any motives but those that con- slider the welfare and wishes of the people of the Territory. but also sympathy with the people and thuir expressed desires, and should be such a man as the people would wish to elect. He should combine the quail ties of a student and idealist with the cold judgment of business man. As a mere money-getter, whose god is the Almighty Dollar, is not the right man for that honorable position.

PAPERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.

NOW that the bankers, the miners, and every other business in the Ter ritory have formed an organization, what's the matter with the newspa- pers? If ever a business needed or ganization as body it is the papers of the Territory. By buying together they could clip a good many cents per pound off the price of stock; they could secure live advertising agent in Seattle and fill their papers with Seattle advertising; advertising rates could be adjusted to suit outside ad- vertising, and a gathering once year at some point in the Territory would advance the business beyond a hit end miss experiment. In the Stale of Washington the organization has proven so successful that publisher would miss his membership sadly in doing business. Seattle offers lu- crative advertising field to the papers cf Alaska, but they must be organ ized so that their agent can offer ad- vertising in ALL of them.

TOO MANY FOOLS.

AN exchange says that Any fool can make money" and attempts to clinch his argument by citing his own poverty after long years of residence in the Territory. While it makes a catchy appeal to those of us who are without worldly goods, and who still believe that we possess a modicum of gray matter, the fact remains that a fool never has made money, and never will. About the only thing that a fool has ever been a success at is being a fool, and many are even fail ures at their own game. If fools made money the world would be swamped with riches; money would he the cheapest thing on earth, for the crop of fools exceeds any other crop, and is never shortened by drought or stress of weather. Every man now adays is some kind of fool. His bug is hidden from him but is painfully apparent to his neighbors. He lmag
 ines that he conceals his foolisLness from public gaze but in reality wears it as a lodge-pin upon the lapel of his coat that all may see. The day of Patrick Henrys and Washing:ons and Franklins and Paynes and Web- sters has passed; and the probabili- bilities are, will never return. The fool reigns supreme. You can find him in the halls of Congress; in the seats of the legislators; in the public schools, the libraries, the public gath erings and at the head of papers; he is at the height of his power and there is none to dispute his sway.

Why Napoleon Did Not Favor the Use

 It is on record that the first employ ment of aeronautics to observe the po- sitions of an enemy were made during the French revolution. It was a.

AN EMBROIDERED CEILING.
1t Once Gracsd the Chinsss Imperial
 Palace at Picking.

Palace at Picking.
 One of the most beautiful and elab- crate pieces of embroidery ever exhib- ited i'll New York was the ceiling of the council chamber of the imperia: palace at Picking. This ceiling was formed of yellow silk of heavy quality that much resembled faille in the weave. The back was of greenish blue. woven in a small diamond pat tern. The total measurements of 1t all were twenty-One feet six inches long and nineteen feet six inches wide.
 The design with which 1t was em- bellished was an imperial dragon in the center and four others. one in each corner. Encircling these groundwork was formed of cloud pattern, and dis persed were small bats and other sym bols. The cloud effect was worked out in blue and purple and the bats in pink. The dragons were largely gold work, and threefold line of gold sur rounded each part of the design.
 The story of this ceiling and how 1t came to New York includes a small part of Chinese history and custom. It was in the imperial council chamber at Peking that the envoys of the va rious nations met in 1902 to settle the Boxer difficulties. At the close of the session a representative of the emper- or courteously informed them that the contents of the chamber were consid' cred profaned by the presence of for eigners and that they were therefore at liberty to divide among themselves the chambers furnishings. In this manner the ceiling fell to the share of the American envoy.-St Louis Post Dispatch.

OUR FEARFUL FIRE LOSSES.
Most Of Them Are Caused by untidi-
 ness and Carelsssnsss.

The fire loss in the United States is about $250,OO0 day, or an aggregate of S75O,OO0.OO0 a yenr. Careful obser- vation from detailed statistics compil. ed on the subject shows that most of this loss would be prevented by the ob- servation of reasonable precautions. particularly in the direction of more tidiness. Sixty-fve per cent of all fires take place in homes. and cases show that % per cent of all fires are duo to carclessness. ignorance or both.
 The 65 per cent occurring in homes. 1t is readily shown, would never occur if persons had taken reasonable care in respect to tidiness. Rubbish is the chief cause. and rubbish does not necessarily mean the accumulation of paper and things of that character in and around buildings, but the unneces- sary accumulation of old furniture, magazines, carpets. supplies of all kinds in cellars and attics which &C., cumulate dust and lie there for years.
 What applies to the home in respect to rubbish is true to a marked degree in many business premises. Just lit- tie thought and the expenditure of little time along these lines generally would greatly reduce the fire loss. The absence of fire extinguishers in the average home or business premises is a serious omission. Careless handling of matches. careless use of oil, the ac- emulation of oily rags and waste ma terial and host of small matters like these are the causes of a great many fires and a great deal of loss.-Lumber Trade Journal.

HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD.

 WHEY say that man is mighty and governs land and sea,
 He yields mighty scepter OCT x lesser pow'rs that be;
 But a power mightier. stronger,
 man from his throne has hurled. 'Tis the hand that rocks the cradle that rules this mighty world. In deep, mysterious conclave, mid philo- sophie minds. Unraveling knotty problems. his native forte man finds; Yet all his pow'r and glory to heav' n's four winds are hurled By the unseen hand of woman, the pow'r of this great world.
 CHORUS. Yes. the tender, loving mother. who nurses, nurtures. tends, Into our life's great battles many noble soldiers sends, And, altho she's in the background when the banners are unfurled, The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. Behold the brave commander, on land or on the sea, Stanch mid the carnage standing, no fear of death has he! The standard bearer, dying, with the col orS in his hand, Brave men they be, yet all are ruled by woman's gentle hand. Great statesmen govern nations, kings rule a peoples fate, But the unseen hand of velvet these giants regulate: The iron arm of fortune with womans arm entwined, For great men rule the nations, and wom- an rules the mind.
