mans of to-day in their code of indi-

they do or not. they are certainly blind

and accent: | mean the doctrine that
each Individual sovereign state must be
recognized hy every other as of equal
worth and dignity and as having equal

the part of a nation which has run

of her alterations, of her reputation
of right and law. Of the pitiless and
murderous warfare she has waged. is

| America is lighting for the equal
rights of civilized states. Looking at
the matter from another point of view,

German domination. Germany has pro-
claimed equally in practice and in

should oppose him? It may be true that he didn't doc very much; at that he did as much as any Of his prede- cessors; which is very little we admit yet the incumbent of that office Is supposed to be a mere figurehead, and as such there Is nothing to do. One of the great objections that Is being brought to light now and again is that he associates mo@e with re- publicans than with dem ocrats.
 While this association may not be bad in itself! It is admittedly bad form; hence the persistent desire on the part of some democrats to have man in the chair who will recog- nize none but democrats; and that Is the way it should be. Because if the republicans had the upper hand. they would do the same.
 Republicans never recognize demo- erats, even at a cockfght.-Progres sive- Miner.

Considering the amount of money the United States has invested in AL aska. the returns made by that ter ritory are almost phenomenal Until recent years Alaska was treated as a stepdaughter. and no encouragement was given to private interests to aid in :he development of the territory. Denying capitalists the right to bene- fit Alaska as well as themselves, the government also refralned from giv-
 ing first aid.
 Alaska, however, has been working out her own destiny. and the govern ment railroad has had a helpful ef- feet. Although there have been re- stric:ions upon investments in Alas ka and anything that seemed to re- semble a combination of capital has been banned. nevertheless sales made by Alaska to the United States in the fiscal year 1716 aggregate S50.000.000. This involves an addition to the pros peri:y of the United States for one year. which in all probability will exceed the total government expendi- ture for the new railroad.
 No longer do salmon and gold rep resent Alaska's export staples. They have given way to the export of cop per, which in the present fiscal year had a total value of more than s25,- 000,000 compared with s5,000.000 in 1915, and less than s4,0O0,OO0 in 1914.
 The total imports from Alaska ac- merce, are more than double in value the annual average since 1912. The receipts of copper in ore, matte and regulus from Alaska aggregated IT, 000.000 pounds in 1915-16, and this was four times the average for the preceding years. l. also exceeds the combined imports of that class from Chile, Cuba, Canada and Mexico. the leading foreign sources of his form of copper.
 If Alaska can do so well under a policy of slightly increased hberality what would she not do if private cap ital were encouraged there as 1t was in connection Wi.h the development of the western part Of the In. States? It is doubtful whether many persons realize the extent of the re- sources of Alaska. It Is one of the richest sections 3l the United States and every effort should be made to encourage it's development.--Wash- ington Post.

NOME. ALAsA. MARCH 20, 1917.

Owing to the fac: that hostilities between the United States and Ger many will be the inevitable result of their ruthless submarine campaign, it is up to the government to immedi- ately take over and monopolize all wireless stations throughout the Uni ted States. The German system of espionage is the most entire and com. plete of it's kind the world has ever known. To offset that-if possible We should prepare to meet them at every turn of the road.
 Wireless telegraphy has been q great factor in this war. The vile Teutons used 1t to great effect at the outbreak. One example of which was the sending of orders to the British fleet in the Mediterranean causing the flee. to make a certain move and allow of the safe departure of their own ships.
 There are obvious arguments for q government monopolization of the wireless which do not apply to gov ernment ownership of any other semi public utility, and, in the face of the impending crisis. the suggestion made by Secretary Daniels some time back, that all radio stations be taken over by the government should immediately be acted upon.
 of government control should be ser iously considered, for despite the fact that much legislation has been enforc- cd to regulate the methods of this mode of telegraphy, 1t is found al- most impossible to keep the amateur out and much trouble is experienced from that end.
 The loss of the Titanic gave the country the first illustration of the need of rigid regulation of the wire less. The brief messages from the sinking ship were caught by wireless stations all along the Atlantic coast, private stations as we'll as those con- ducted for public use. Every amateur, with his little tia-pot plant "butted in," and the air was filled with con- flicting ,neseae es. Further communi- cation with the sinking ship was thusly cut off and the work of rescue and relief seriously hampered.
 During the present war one of the serious problems of neutrality, im- posed upon us has been the super. vision of wireless stations privately owned, to prevent their use to fur:h- CT the purposes of belligerents. That supervision cost the country consid erable money and was not as effec- tive as might be owing to the fact that small wireless outfits are com. pact and most difficult to locate. This trouble would be eliminated by Uncle

The Evolution of Flour.

The conversion Of wheat into -four
was one of the earliest developments
OF civilization, and even the primitive
races in the dawn of history submitted
the grain to a coarse pounding be-
tween stones. Perhaps the oldest flour
mills" In existence are the rude
stones found among the remains of the
ancient lake dwellings in Switzerland.
By u mortar and pestle arrangement
the wheat was reduced to a coarse
meal. Crude as this method was. II
contained the germ of the modern
flour mill. For countless centuries the
preparation Of meal and -four was
purely domestic process.

Labor Market and Women

There is an increasing demand in
England today for well-educated and
efficient women for work in various
government departments, those possess
sing degrees In economics, mathemat-
les and natural science being most in
request, advises a correspondent. The
ministry of food needs experienced ac-
countants for expert statistical work
In connection with its increasing ac-
tivities. There is also growing de-
mand for clerical workers, shorthand
writer's and typists. Educated women
to act as supervisors are also needed
in the Women's Auxiliary Army corps.
The average salaries of women EN-
ployed by the government are better
than they were at the beginning of the
war and educated and efficient women
are capable of earning at least SIS a
week without difficulty.
