OUTLOOK AT
 TREADWELL
Manager Bradley Authority for the Statement That Activity
 Will Continue

That Treadwcll will continue to be the scene of considerable activity for an indefinite period to come is announced by Manager P. R. Brad ley.
 Asked by a News man yesterday for a statement as to what might be counted upon SO far as future operations at Trcadwcn are con cerned. Mr. Bradley said.
 "There will be work here for a considerable number of men for some time to come even it no cGort is made to rchabiltate the three flooded mines and of the probability of the latter | have nothing Co say. However. there is much work re- qulred Co put the mills and plants generally in condition for their iu- activity. The machine shops. foun- dry, cyanide plant and mercantile interests will continue In councc- ton with tho operations of che Ready Bullion mine. che machine shops and foundry doing Che work required In their lines for the Alas ka Juneau Company ! have uoth- ing Co say relative to thc intentions of the syndicatcs owning Che prop crty involved in the late disaster What they may determine to do win Doe known later"
 While several families have ale ready dcnartcd, the majority were preparing Co go even before the happenings" of a week ago Satur- day night. Several foreigners have already left, but they are Of class which is of mighty little account Co any business industry in any community in which they exist they don't live in thc sense that other people do SO their departure is of little consequence.
 In the meantime. there are pco- pie here who are honest in Che be- lief that Trcadweu will yet see a period equal to "the good old days" and that thc brightest pages in the history of Douglas arc yet to be written

WHAT IS COST"

Selling to the government at "1O per cent over cost" sounds simple until one asks what "cost" is. The direct costs are, Of course. ascer- tainablo; but in most factories, more than half the cost is overhead, and this varies with the total quan- tity turned out. How shall it be distributed? There are also the questions of rent, heat, office and selling expenses, in a factory turn ing out a variety of articles which pass through a series of processes These are matters of disagreement among experts. How much rent should be permitted to a factory owned by the managers. How large salaries should go to the of- fcers? How shall we estimate re- pairs and improvements? By a se- ries of arbitrary decisions the ln- terstatc Commerce Commission has forced a uniform cost system on the railroads Factories have none, and it is hard to see how they can have any. It may be better to leave economic forces to work themselves out, and regulate profits by taxa ton. To any one who has followed English experience in tampering with industrial machinery, the dan ger will be obvious.-New York Evening Post

LOOK AROUND

Look around you and see if there is not a slice of your own dooryard or a vacant lot nearby, in which you could plant something that would be good to eat" Here is patriotic duty. The coming season will be one of very serious drafts on the food supplies Of the world. There can be no overproduction. No oversupply will be possible. Young women often enjoy the man agement of a garden. schoolboys often get surprising results from making things grow" Many man in the factory or office accom- plishes wonders in the few min utes that he can squeeze out of his waking hours. Think over your own possibilities.

From Somewhere in France" tho editor received an "Opened by censor" letter one day last week from a former Yukon friend, Alfred . .Croulu. now serving on the west ern front. The letter was written on March 2lst and the writer says he will spring" himself in honor Of the day and let you know that ! ! am still in the field helping John Bull G Co., to wind up the deplor able business of Kaiser Bill.

 While ! would very much like to give you some first hand news from the front, the censor might object.

practice Of his profession. Mrs

DR.. Tichenor came here severa
years ago from Daviess county am
imm ediately built up a large prac

in the medical field both here ana
in Daviess county and at one time
represented the latter in the Stat
Senate. Advised of good opening
in Crescent City he made trip to

pressed with the prospects. He then
arranged his affairs here and de
parted. There is no doubt of the
continuance Of his successful career
in the Florida city.

purpose Of the President 10 launch
a movement for universal peace
would IL not be better to wait for
the tongue of European militarism
to hang out as an evidence of de-
spair rather than ask that same
tongue TO speak for peace eternal?
Universal peace must be born, not
made. We say born in the sense
that the spirit must prevail sincerely
in the hearts of nations. Every
school room has its rule against fight
ing. But when small boys quarrel
do they permit the chips to lay upon
shoulders because of their promise
to the teacher not to fight? IL Is
physique that determines whether or
not that trouble is to be settled with
out battle, and so does the power
of nations determine with what res
pect their rights shall be regarded.
AS step toward unyersal peace
we agree with the President as to al
lance. Alliance with a larger army,
greater navy and an aeroplane
squadron strong enough to repell any
force that may attempt invasion in
the future. Meanwhile the spirit OF
eternal peace will grow.

TIE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

The United States is peace low
ing Nation that is willing to fight
when the principal involved is sutii-
cient to warrant the shedding of the
blood OF her sons and justifes the
horrors OF war. With that policy
resolutely adhered TO, and with an
impregnable system of defense, we
believe this country is as well as
sured of peace as though she were
bound by alliances with any number
of foreign nations whose agreements
among themselves have in the last
few months been declared as but
scraps Of paper.
Universal peace is the dream of
the century and sentiment in this
country is as one great champion Of
the cause. But as to how it should
be brought about is a problem upon
which minds vary. President Will
son APPARENTLY believes the time ripe
for discussion, and in his recent adj
dress before the Senate he advocated
a departure from our lifetime policy
OF speaking and acting for ourselves,
in other words going alone, for a
peace alliance with nations of Eu-
rope. We agree with Mr.. Bryan
that such an alliance would be ex-
tremely dangerous to American peace
and welfare. With Europe locked
IN the most mammoth struggle OF all
times and with neither warning side
having accomplished a single purpose
for which the war was launched even
temporary peace talk at present
seems premature TO say nothing OF
making Il permanently universal. II
may be that the President delivered ,
his address at this particular time
as sort OF reply to the refusal Of
the Allies 10 discuss peace but its
effect Is problematical. II il is the
