MORE CAREFUL DRIVING

Two years ago there were only
three or four automobiles in and
about Askov and today there are
about 40 of them. Many of
those who have acquired auto
mobiles lately have never driven
a car before and some do not
seem to be acquainted with the
rules Of the road. When a per-
son has not attained complete
and perfect control Of his car it
is not only safer for himself and
those IN the car, but also all
those whom he may meet on
public highways. that he drive
slowly. A car should always be
driven slowly on streets, near
crossings. and any place where
there are many pedestrians and
other vehicles. We have seen
examples of automobile drivers
tearing into crowd here at a
fairly good clip. This kind of
driving is bound to result dis
astlpusly some day. Several
narrow escapes have been re-
ported to our Office. A speed
limit within what might be
called the village of Asllov (al-
tho not Incorporated might be
in order. OF course it is not ne.
ccsSary if every one will drive
the way they should. We do not
mean to infer that there are
many reckless drivers here. no
but there are some who might
tune down little. 1t is we'll to
know when and where to drive
fast and when and where tc
slack up. A car going 40 miles
an hour on a perfectly clear road
with no side streets is under bet.

FINED FOR SPEEDING
IN PINE CITY

On Saturday evening a young
man from the north end of the
county was taken into court for
driving beyond the speed limit
set for this city. He pied guilty
to the charge and was fined $40
and costs. amounting in all to
Sl4.5O. There are a number of
the young bloods about this place
that will be receiving the same
bitter pill if they don't slow up.
It's the greatest wonder in the
world that there haven't been
more accidents in this place than
there have. On Saturday night
when the weather is nice the
town is fairly overrun with ma
chimes, many of them driven by
persons who have not had them
long and are not thoroly compe-
tent to handle themselves in a
pinch. Then the matter of park
ing cars is one that should be
given some attention. In many
places machines are parked in
the center of the street, not
parallel but at right angles with
the right-of-way and moving We
hicles are compelled to keep to
the right of the parked cars.
| This would eliminate to q great
degree the danger that now ex-
lists and in few weeks the Gus
tom would be SO firmly fixed in
the minds Of everyone that it
would he second nature to adhere
to this road law. Pine County

Considerable complaint is be-
ing made OF the road between
Sandstone and Askov, and the
main trouble appears to be the
fact that 1T is not dragged at the
right time. As far as the road
itself is concerned ii is well
made road and there is no com
plant with, the work of Chas.
Pearson, the builder. in fact it is
one of the best roads in Pine
County perhaps the best one
as it has an excellent bottom.
But it matters little how well a
road is made if after rain it is
allowed to lay and be driven over
two or three days before it is
dragged. The road is then badly
cut up, filled with ruts and
thoroly dried before dragging is
commenced. Dragging at this
time is considerably harder than
right after a rain and cannot be
made as smooth. Rutty roads
are hard on automobile tires and
for that matter the whole car
and any kind Of a vehicle. Let
us have dragging at the right
time and thereby also prolone
the life of the road,

THE RUMBLE OF BATTLE

"The terrible grumble, and rumble and roar, telling the battle was once more, and Sheridan twenty miles away" show that the noise of con- fict during the days of the Civil war could be heard at least three leagues and no doubt at that time, altho- not only about half century ago, the cannonading seemed exceptionally loud.
 Just how far, in the present war, the sound of battle can be detected by the human ear, probably will not be exactly known until after peace comes, but a dispatch from London, telling of the gigantic British attack on the Belgian front recently, shows that the range is at least 140 miles as far, say, as Bellingham to Tacoma. It sounds almost incredible, but the present war has shattered so many precedents and set up so many new standards that it may be accepted as authentic,

JAPANESE IRRITATION

Pursuing a consistent policy for the extending of the spirit of democracy throughout the world, this govern ment recently communicated with China urging that the nation place its house in order and that it refuse to countenance the suggestion of sever al statesmen that there be return to the monarchial form of govern nent.
 This was good advice for China, and it should be accepted because the Chinese know full we'll that the Uni ted States is it's one best friend among nations.
 But the suggestion from Washing ton did not please Japan, and we now have again Japanese question" to muddle our diplomacy.
 The trouble with the Japanese is that, while pretending a great friend ship for the United States they are continually carrying a chip on their

PROPOSES WAR COUNCIL

Just after the United States enter. CT the war with Germany resolu- tion was introduced in the senate pro- viding for the appointment of joint war committee of congress, compos- ed of a few able men, to assist the president in conducting the war. II was pointed out, in support of the suggestion, that President Lincoln, during the Civil war, had about him similar body of men.
 From the time the resolution was introduced until today no action look ing to the perfection of the plan has been taken, and obviously the propo- sal has been allowed to slumber in a pigeon-hole at the Presidents sug- gestion.
 Apropos of the growing opinion that if the war continues for an ln- definite period it will have to be handel on a different basis, Col. Geo. Harvey, the president maker" has an interesting article in his North American Review in which he sug- gests the appointment of war coun- cil of at least five of the greatest minds of the United States in order that the burden now on the presl- dents shoulders may be distributed over a larger area. Col. Harvey says;
 Its members should be drawn from our entire aggregation of brains from the supreme court, from the congress, from the law, from finance, from business. from labor, from any of the professions, from any walk Ill life. They need not, it is better that they should not be experts in any one phase They should be the biggest

shoulder, so sensitive are they lest some nation interpose some objection to Japan's ambition for territorial ex- pansion.
 Not until the European war has closed, it is believed, will the Japan ese situation be disturbing, but soon- CT or later, unless the United States presents an object lesson in the way of rapid preparedness, will the Nip ponese prove a menace to our peace in the Pacific.

BUILDING UP ALASKA

There is a native secreted in the woods back of Seldovia who is accus- ed of a heinous crime. The trial of this native, in the ordinary course of events, should have taken place at the Anchorage term of court, but he escaped from the Seward jail some weeks prior to the convening of the court term here, and made his way across the country to Seldovia, where he secreted himself in the woods. He is being fed by relatives and friends There is a United States Deputy Mar shal at Seldovia-one of Marshal Brenneman's noble band. But this de- putty does not care to venture after the escaped jail bird. The official is waiting for the native to walk into his office and surrender. Most execu- tive officials of the district court would consider it their distinct duty to get this escaped jail bird, dead or alive But this particular deputy mar shal does not propose to risk his pre- cious life in any adventure of this kind. Hence, there will be no Car negie medal for Cameron.-Anchor- age Times.
 The above is not printed for any merit attached to the article, but to show the senseless criticism emanat- ing from Anchorage. This would-be dictator of Alaskan politics has nev- CT yet spoken a good word for any of the federal officers of the territory. but lives in the past with the Wick ersham ideals of tearing down instead of building up. Anchorage certainly reeds a paper in accord with the city and federal officers More harm is done by these obstructive tactics than one imagines. as people who do not know the Times are apt to believe it represents the better element of An chorage. If there are any men better than Marshal Brenneman's deputies, they have not yet come forward and volunteered to capture this Indian murderer. A new country is much better off from it's papers boosting

the broadest and intellectually the strongest in the land. They should be men of such repute as would com mand at once the full confidence of both president and people. They should forsake completely their pres ent vacations. They should be vested with such authority as the president in his wisdom and from his exper- fence should deem most helpful. They should receive compensation com mensurate with their responsibilities. They should dictate fully and unre- Servedly mind. soul and body to the
 jingle purpose of helping the presi- dent to help the people to win the war.
 Every power now in conflict has been driven to this recourse. It is only a question of time when the Uni ted States will be compelled to emu late the common example. So why not do it now and save God alone knows how much treasure and how many precious lives to world which must and shall be made safe for democ- racy?"
 Perhaps the coloners suggestion will not be adopted but in his gen. eral scheme he seems to be on the right track.

than by tearing down. The marshal is a federal officer appointed by the President. If the Times is as patriotic as it would have its readers believe, it will not criticise the Presidents work, but seek to help instead of hin- dering him. While the marshal's office may not meet the approval of the Times, at this crisis in territorial and national affairs it should seek to help promote harmony in every way in its power instead of sowing hatred and strife. AS we understand it the marshal's office has used every effort to apprehend this murderer and it is but a question of time until he is taken into custody. MT. Brenneman has never yet failed to bring to book offenders against the law, which prob ably account for the Times petty criticisms of his actions.

GOODBYE, SOLDIER BOYS.
BY Charles Olive.

Good-by, soldier boys, good-by.
We are proud of you all
Who are needing the call
OF our country to arms and to battle;
You will gallantly do
What is wanted of you
Where the war weapons thunder and
rattle.
So long, soldier boys, so long!
Good-by, soldier boys, good-by.
You are jolly and grave,
You are tender and brave,
And it pains us to see you are leav-
ing;
But to fight and to bleed
For our country in need
Is our freedom and honor retrieving.
So long, soldier boys, so long!
Good-by, soldier boys, good-by.
We have kind words for you,
We have love for you, too,
Which will follow you over the ocean;
For your wounds we have tears,
For your victories cheers
And the laurels of thankful devotion.
So long, soldier boys, so long!
Good-by, soldier boys, good-by.
May there crash on our foe
Soon a peace-Winning blow,
Is the prayer of your fathers and
brothers;
May you home then be sent
Just as pure as you went,
Is the prayer of your sweethearts and
mothers.
So long, soldier boys, so long!

Of the socket and it is feared that the
sight has been destroyed. He is at

he will probably recover if the wound
does not develop infection. The out.
