Americans are patient people.
Witness, for example, the submis-
sive manner in which New York
ers are contributing to the wealth
of the food trust, a combination of
INSCRIPTIONS spectators who are
demanding seven cents a pound
for bread, while the people of Lon
don, burdened as they are by war,
can buy just as good bread for less
than half that amount. Witness,
again. the absence of opposition to
the sudden and unwarranted rise
in the price of potatoes, which
we're quoted during the week at
Seattle at more than four cents a
pound. Witness the steady climb
of food prices throughout the entire
country, and note how easily the
thing is done. 1t is as if the food
spectators are wing with each
other to see how far they can 60
without bringing the masses down
upon their heads.
Prosperity, we are told, is in
evidence everywhere throughout
the United States. Never, in the
history of the country we're times
so good. Factories are deluged
with orders; farmers are reapins
a harvest of gold; the railroads are
unable to handle all the business
offered; everyone who cares to can
find employment. Yet in spite of
these apparent favorable condi-
tons, hundreds of thousands of
wage earners, who should be lay
ing aside a portion of their earn
ings, are being submerged by the
rapidly rising flood of high prices.
The upward tendency Of wages,
where there is an upward tenden-
cy, is not in step with the advanc-
ing cost of living.
How long the people will con-
tinue to tolerate these conditions
remains to be seen. Perhaps they
will 60 on contributing to the wealth
of the SPECTATORS until such time
as the slow-movins machinery Of
the government takes cognizance
of the situation and lays a firm
hold upon the food question; per-
haps they will wait until they have
been entirely consumed by abnor-
NAL prices. Perhaps they will wait
that long because, being Americ-
ans, they are a patient, law-abiding
race. But in pressing the limit
of endurance, those men who are

Washington: It is reported here that
President Wilson will appear before con-

permission TO employ any means neces-
sary to meet any emergency which may
arise. 1t is inferred that a crisis of a
most serious nature is imminent, and adj

to meet it.
London: The Western Atlantic, North

Cecil today. He said the kaiser, in his
efforts to make the blockade of England,

In giving its approval to the
bill for the establishment of Mount
Mckinley National park congress
has empowered the administration
to set aside permanently vast
tract of land in Alaska which some
day will be recognized as Ameri-
cas- greatest scenic attraction. The
action of the national lawmakers
is in line with policy which was
inausurated by the federal govern
ment forty-five years ago, when
Yellowstone National park was
created, and which has resulted
since that time in preserving for
public use sixteen reservations,
with a total area of more that five
million acres.
Mt. Mckinley National park will
attract many tourists to Alaska
when it is known that the district
has been made accessible by i'm
proved transportation facilities.
Within a couple of years trains
will pass within forty-five miles of
Americas highest mountain, and
the government undoubtedly will
erect hotels and provide other &C
commodations as a means of slim
ulating travel to Interior Alaska.
This has been the policy in the
case Of most of the other national
parks. and it will be doubly nee
essary in Alaska to provide these
comforts because of the remote
ness of Mt. Mckinley National
park and the sparsely settled coun-
try through which the tourists will
have to pass in order to reach the
great mountain. . 49,.
Statistics recently published by
the government show that more
than three hundred and fifty thou

The validity of our territorial
license tax laws having been es-

operating in Alaska. The decis-
ion suaranteesan additional income
to the Territory of nearly $780,
900 annually, a sum sufficient to
relieve the school situation, which
has assumed a serious aspect as a
result Of the passage of the Alaska
bone dry bill. Perhaps some
of the money can be secured for a
Nenana school.
during the past season, and doubt
less Alaska will receive a very
generous share of this travel when
it is known that the Interior coun-
try can be reached quickly and in
comfort, such as tourists demand.

Following are extracts from an ad- dress by Honorable Edward Ewing Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, before the American Russian chamber of commerce, at lun- cheon, on March 2S, 1917, Hotel Bilt- more, New York:
 "The crisis which has occurred in Russia is not only the most dramatic event of the great war, but is un- doubtedly one of the most far reach ing consequences to Russia and to the future of the continent of Europe. Great as is the significance of this change for Russia and her allies, it has, believe, even greater signif- canoe for the United States,

peaceful suppression of an inefficient form of government by the succession of a highly organized and efficient form of government. We need not look, therefore, to any reign of terror ism and destruction. On the other hand, we may expect very rational and much more efficient form of gov ernment, a government which will prosecute the work more effectively than it's predecessors. Those of us who are interested in the trade rela- tionS between the United States and Russia see in the promised reforms in Russia the clearing away of the one obstacle to the freest and frankeSt ex- change of international relations be- tween the two countries"
