fashions AND THE H. c. L.

The tabled quest of Diogenes for an honest man prov
ed no less a failure than the present search for the root
cause of the high cost of living. Earnest and devoted men
and women, singly and in groups, assailed the problem
from every angle. State and federal authorities instituted
open and still hunts. Consumers leagues and household
leagues pursued the villain hither and thither. Each and
all arrived at a common destination without reducing the
cost in the slightest degree. Failure is not due to lack OF
zeal, intelligence or searchful power. 1t springs from
striking a blind trail at the outset and getting nowhere.
The real cause of high living has been tracked to its lair
in a direction generally ignored, and the honor OF d1scov-
cry belongs to Miss Jane M. N~ewcombe, a research teach
er in the Pennsylvania state college.
Miss Newcomb asserts that fashion makers are the
principal conspirators with which mankind must grapple
if it would live within its means. Every inch cut off wo-
mans skirts means an extra pound of beefsteak inside to
keep the wearer fit for the elements. But the worst OF 1T
is, as the discoverer points out, the girl or woman who
struts the streets in short dresses, silk stockings and chest
barred to the winters winds must eat so much to keep
warm that she becomes ~dyspeptic, nervous and irritable"
The tyranny of the fashion plate thus increases the normal
consumption of food, swells the demand which boosts
prices, and opens up innumerable leaks in the purse.
Further search is a waste of time. Speculation in food is
a side issue. The problem resolves itself into the simple
one of stretching the gowns at both ends and shortening
the demand for food. Without the essential props of fash
ionable brevity the high cost of living tumbles as a house
of cards.

MAINTAINING BELGIAN RELIEF

Germany has finally agreed to permit Americans to
continue to carry on the relief work established in Belgium
under restrictions no more severe than have prevailed
from the first. This lifts out of the way one irritating OBJ
stacle between the two countries. The break between
Germany and the United States endangered one of the
most important of our self-assumcd war tasks, on whose
continuance depends the safety and comfort of millions
otherwise helpless. While details for the service may have
to be readjusted, it is reassuring to know that the relief
work will be maintained and SO far as possible hunger and
misery will be prevented.
1t is worth noting in this connection that men who
have been connected with the relief work express the be-
lief that Belgium will come out of the war in better condi-
ton economically than either Of the belligerents. Several
reasons are ascribed for this, one of them being the fact
that already in this country interest to the amount of
$500 100000 has accumulated, owing to inability to make
remittances, which item will figure in the restoration of
the Be1gians to self-sustaining condition. Nor will they be
burdened with the immense war debt piling up over the
other combatants. With all its misfortunes and wretched-
ness Belgium is better off materially than several Europ-
can countries.

IMMIGRATION AND COST OF LIVING

The New York World declares that in passing the
new immigration bill congress has struck directly at the
American farmer and through him directly at the mass OF
American consumers, upon which the high cost OF living Is
a Gripping tax. The one industry that underlies all 9th
ers and is the greatest source of national wealth is made
the chief sufferer.
1t is true that everywhere the farmers have been COM
planning of the scarcity of labor. Because of it they are
limited in their output, although prices are extraordinarily
high. They cannot raise larger crops, for they are short
of the necessary m~an-power
l. is not a condition that is peculiar to any section OF
the country; it is general. To aggravate it the induce
ment of high wages is constantly attracting more and
more workers to the cities and manufacturing centers.
With unlimited land available for cultivation the people
of the United States seriously feel the shortage OF TODD
supplies because the farmers cannot secure enough men to
work their fields. When normally they should have the
best of business reasons to seek to entend their acreage
and to raise larger crops, they are discouraged by the dit
ficulty of finding the necessary help.
erately erected new barriers against the very class of labor
to which the farming sections could look for relief. 1t is
not trained artisans and tradesmen that will be shut out
by the tests required in the new immigration act, nor i'll
paid sweat-shop workers who overcrowd the tenement
districts, but men accustomed to till the soil and best fitted
for the heavy labor of the farms. The one element most
needed in increasing the production of American farms
and in opening up new areas for food growing has been
singled out for exclusion. Properly, the law to restrict inn
migration might have been entitled an act to restrict agri
culture and increase the cost of living.

WHO HAS THE MONEY i?

A contributor to the Fort Wayne Gnd.) News, asks
some questions concerning the Lincoln Highway that are
just as interesting out here in Nevada as they are in the
middle west. The statements leading up to his questions
are familiar to all of us, and here is the way he puts them:
Several years ago a wave Of enthusiasm swept
the country for the Lincoln highway, and many
motorists paid from S. to $IOO for highway en-
blems to put on their cars, to show that they had
contributed to the cause. Several million dollars
must have been collected in this way. So far | have
seen nothing that looks like a national highway,
and the only parts of the Lincoln highway that have
been completed have been paid for by the counties.
Where did the money go, and if it is still intact as
a fund, who manages it and draws the interest, and
also who is on the salary list? Surely no motorist
regrets the money spent and would gladly contrib
ute several times the amount already given, but
there certainly should have been some results be-
fore this time. (Signed) |. PAID.
AS we recall it, there was already subscribed in 1913,
four years ago, a fund running into the millions, with con-
tributions promised from the automobile manufacturers,
based upon the number of cars turned out, that would be-
fore now have swelled the fund to at least $I2,ooo,Ooo.
What has become of it? 1t was to be a concrete highway
from ocean to ocean, but we have yet to learn of any eX-
penditure from the fund for real construction. 1t was to
be completed in its important sections by 1915, but we are
now about to enter the third month of 1917, with nothing
accomplished apparently except publicity for the route
and the sale of a lot of handsomely autographed certifi-
Gates acknowledging receipt of moneys paid in by con
.tributors. Who has the money and what is he doing
with it?
Moreover, if we really get into war just think what
rare old sport it will be hunting down those 100000 spies
Senator Overman assumes are cankering in our midst.
But if we catch them all, where in the dickens will we get
ammunition to shoot them? The government hasn't go.
it and from the display of present activities isn't likely
to get it. Perhaps we shall be driven to the rather har-
rowing e%xpedient of ~stomping' them to death.

HE WILL NOT ABDICATE

Those who believe that the German emperor NAV alb
dictate to save his country may be too optimistic. Kings
in Europe are like office holders in this country they
never quit until they are voted out. The kaiser may think
that his family is absolutely necessary to the 10000, 900 of
Germans and that they cannot live without his guidance,
for does he not believe that God has raised up the Hohen-
zollerns for that great work?
The Berlin paper which declared that American ships
by venturing out are "most wickedly tempting God" made
a laugh around the world, to say the least about it. I'm.
piously tempting Cod is good phraseology for the adher-
ents of the divine rights of kings, for under that interpre-
tation the ruler is tempting the king of kings"
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-03-03

For the paucity of ships destroyed the Germans offer
the explanation that the weather has been stormy at sea.
When the seas are ca1mer they will be able to get more
of them. But will not calmer seas also help those who are
hunting for the submarines. The submarine in calm seas
can often be detected by the movement of the waters over
it. The indications are that the submarines will not reach
30 per cent of their predicted effectiveness SO far as de-
stroying merchant ships is concerned, and SO far as naval
ships are concerned they seem to be able to get none of
them.

With the wet and dry issue eliminated in many

The largest single subscription to the British win
the-war loan comes from the mi-America fortune of Sir
George A. Cooper and amounts to $I3yooo,ooo. Cooper
annexed an American heiress with a slice of a 100000
income. Coopers matrimonial foresight pushes Charlie
Chaplin's subscription off the screen.

Carl Alderman, a very reliable correspondent, who
has been in Germany, stated recently from Paris that the
proposed German-American conferences, which our gov
eminent promptly and properly rejected, were made IN
Germany to gain time, and that nothing more was expect
ed from them. The time gained was to be used to make
the best disposition of certain submarines for American
attack in event of the break between the two nations be-
coming complete. Mr.. Alderman also warned us that
there are now "German-financed peace moves in Amer
ica." They are most active in many ways and many
places. These are intended to hamper the government in
event of war and to divide the people. Developments OF
the last week confirm Mr.. Ackerman's report.

ALASKA GOLO IS DESCRIBED
 AS 4 FAILURE

Syndicate articles are appearing iu numerous newspapers of the States attacking the Lackling prop critics, particularly the Alaska Gold. Und>: Boston date line of NoYem- ber 7, the following was released by the Boston News Bureau and printed in Eastern papers:
 Ut is not surprising ill view of the disappointing exhibit made by Alaska Gold for the three months endeI September 30 that the stock should drop to new low levels, around $2.5O.
 There are $3,OOO,OO bonds, winch. have recently sold down to 5S. At the low price for both bonds and stock, Alaska Gold has a stock market selling value of less than $4,OOO,OOO.
 Alaska Gold represents capi- tai investment of $10,50O,0OO - 750,0OO shares at $1O per share and $3,0OO,OOO bonds at par. This is on top Of the investment made by the Alaska Gastineau people before con trol was sold to the new interests.
 That even the brightest minds iu the mining industry and the best engineering talent can sometimes meke mistakes is well eXemplified in the failure of Alaska Gold.
 There is nothing the matter with milling process or with the general operating scheme. It is simply case of the ore running from co to 75 cents per ton less in gold than had been figured on.
 For the quarter ended Septem- Der 90 the ore Averaged but S1.01 per ten. The final net profit per ton was only 1.6 cents, or a total of $S,735 for the three months output which, of course, was in sufficient 10 provide bond interest of $37,50O, to say nothing of sink ing fund requirements.
 There is further item to be taken into acCuOnt, known as de fNrred charges to operations, which appears only in the annual re- port. This represents development charges which are not made q part ot current expenses. On December 31, 1916, these charges had amounted to $746,255, and must, of course. some day be taken care of, as they represent an operating charge ar1 are not properly capital izable.

Lawrence County Sends
 First Contingent Off

Courtland, September 9.-(Special.) Lawrence county sent her first contin- gent to war last Wednesday, consist ing of Il men. The next allotment will go to Camp Pike on the 18th, and will consist of SS of the best young men of the county. It was thought at first that this county was lacking in patriotism, but that thought has been dispelled. Many young men outside of the draft ages are enlisting daily. Irwin White, age IA years, son of John White, edi- tor of the Moulton Advertiser, joined the army last Thursday by the enlist ment route. Irwin Is probably as young as any man now serving Uncle Sam.
