that the war and the war profits may continue.
 Ne get all that we can from that bloody wreck in Europe. We haul the goL ashore, and roll our eyes to heaven and thank God for the pros- peri.y that comes to us and the safe ty that comes to us-just as the an- cient men and women on the rocky coast thanked God for their safety and prosperity as they looked upon the dead bodies along tho shore, and the casks of rum, and the money from the dead sailors pockets.
 Whoever says that it is premature to urge and demand peace and urge peace now, has in him the making of a frst-class ancient wrecker.
 The fact is that we are simply the same old savages of the wrecking days, with q little coat of varnish tha: ,.e call humanity and civiliza- tion-but q very thin coat.
 Let the Wreckage be big enough and the wreckage be fat and rich enough and the old wrecker spirit comes out sgain-and we are savages still.- New York Journal.

came 70 them so horribly? Their first thought should have been with the miserable. unhappy sailors, struggling for their lives"
 Well what is our United States attitude toward those wrecks in Flu rope? And what is our national at ti.ude toward the gold that comes floating to our shore from the wreck?
 What about the Wall street man who the other day asked perfectly seriously Do you think there is any danger that the war will end ia three months?"
 He was a man worth millions, plan- ming to take millions more from the European wreck. He wanted to know and there are many like him, al- though they do not express them selves so crudely- whether there was any danger that the wreckage would stop coming in from Europe within three months.
 Thus a half naked peasant on the rocks in the old days might have asked: Do you think there is any danger of that ship getting by safe ly. instead of coming here onto the rocks?"
 A shocking sight 10 the modern man
 n1A tho shore in the old days. after TWO or three big wrecks had come in.
 He would have seen .he bodies of the dead sailors murdered, some drowned-their pockets turned inside out, strewn along the shore. He would have seen men and women gathered around barrels of rum and brandy and violently drunk. He would have seen the entire population at intervals raising it's eyes 70 heaven, humbly giving thanks for prosperity and safely
 Would a being really just, for in- stances an Angel Gabriel, see such a great difference between those wreck CTS of old and the United States of today?
 How piously we turn our eyes up- ward and express thanksgiving for prosperity-although we know thas the gold that comes to our shore is represented, every dollar of it, by dead bodies rotting on the battlefields in Europe.
 And, observe this: We are in one way distinctly like the wrecsers of old. We are not content to let the thing take it's course and rely upon the storms and the war for the pros perity.
 We lend money to Europe that the fight may go on.
 Our distinguished fnanciers who are making their hundreds of mill der 10 Europe are anxious 70 get cash for the murderous weapons they sell.
 So they take European bonds and loans here, sell them to our people knowing well that they will probably never be paid, And with the cash they get for these bonds. that are so doubt ful in value, they pay themselves first. and send the balance over to Europe.

NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 29, 1917.

In the old days whatever washed ashore belonged to the man who found tiff the king or the neighbor- ing chief did not happen 10 take it away from him.
 "Jetsam, f1otsam and lisal,' things thrown into the water, or lying on or below the water, were supposed to remain in the possession of the orig inal owner while that owner lived. ra'nt anrthinp that came ashore be- promptly seized by whoever found it first.
 A stormy night on q rocky coast was nigh: of rich harvest. All fixed lights, bonflres, etc, were carefully extinguished. For the man at sea would keep away from those fixed lights, knowing that they meant solid land, rock and destruction.
 It was then thought desirable. al- most good business sense," to do everything 70 encourage wrecks.
 It was the custom to take a calf, fasten a light on his head, and lead him along the shore, allowing him to eat grass as he was led.
 Tho calf. moving along, raising and lowering his head with the light upon it, gave a good imitation of a light on a ship.
 The light on the calfs head was supposed 70 be the light of the ship The lowering and raising of the head was supposed to be caused by the movement of the water. The unfor- tunate sailor, seeing this light. be- heying himself headed toward an- other ship, went straight on, toward the calf, the rocks and wreck.
 Everything that came ashore was seized eagerly by the barbaria1s, who looked upon wrecks, death and de- struction as a merciful gift from heaven to them.
 Often the unhappy sailors. if any happened to survive and reach the shore, were killed, that they might not tell what happened, or reveal the fact that wreckage belonging to the king had been taken by the owenr of the calf with light on its head.
 Not long ago this calf and other devices of the same sort were busy on many a coast, particularly on the British islands. where there was much ingenuity and much profit from wrecks.
 It seems 10 us horrible, almost un- bellevable, that human beings like ourselves, our own ancestors in Eng land, Ireland. Wales. Scotland. and on the Continent, should have been guilty of such savagery.
 How" we ask ourselves, could they have taken and used property that

HIGH GRADE ROADS ARE

Not So Bad

NEW YORK, June 30.-Financial i'm
terests extracted some comfort on pc
rusal today OF the freight rates decision

passed through prolonged periods OF re-

that the commission had not based It's
conclusions on existing conditions. Inc
heads of several western and southwest

the decision failed to take note that

per cent.
1t was believed that the eastern roads

Railroads Get Some
Increase by Decision

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Railway
officials estimated today that eastern
railroads will receive an increase or
about per cent in gross revenues
through the decision of the interstate
commerce commission suspending the
proposed 10 per cent freight raise put
granting some increases in class rates
This would total about $75,OOO,0OO
year, it was estimated.
Southern lines by the ruling permit
ting rail and water carriers TO oring
rates to the level of the all-rail east
ern prices, will share slightly In the
eastern roads relief, as such ports as
Norfolk and Savannah will be included
In this the commission followed out
former statement of policy, in which 1t
declared that several lines operating in
the southeast were logically comparable
to eastern trunk lines in revenue COM
putations. The revenue thus derived
will however, be largely absorbed by
the water division of the rail and wa
ter transportation and the amount Will
be comparatively small. The southern
roads will also share in higher rates on
coal, coke and iron ore, although rail-
way men estimated that this item would
mean an increase of only about one per
cent.
The commission in it's report dashed
the hopes of the roads for another hear
ing in the near future on a plea for a
more complete investigation. Although
the tariffs are suspended only until Oc-
tober 2S. 1917. the commission points
out that ii has no power to order cancel
lation of the proposed tariffs, and sug-
gests that the carriers withdraw them
