WHY ALASKA'S ROAD sr- FUND WAS STRICKEN I1.s
 BY THE LAW STARTS

9 Washington, - Alaskans, nc doubt. are going to be worried over the tact that Representative Gordon, democrat, nfi Ohio. assisted by Representative Stafford, of Wis consin, republican, maDaged tc knock out a ruling by Representatfv Saunders of Virginia. democrat chairman of the committea of the whole, the item of $5OO,OO0 carried in the army appropriation bill foE carrying on the building of roads and trails in Alaska.
 Col. w. P.

Although the laws fol some twelve years have provided for his manner ot apprcpriating tc build roads and trails in Alaska, Chairman Saunders held that there vas n> authority of law for the item, and thrust it out.
 All of which means that the Icng suffering senate win have to put it back. Messrs.. Gordon and stafford hay demonstrated that they are keen parliamentarlans' which is wha- they wanted, but ii the senate is as far-seeing as tra- diticn holds it to be, maybe Alaska will not suffer.

RuIIanhtors Afraid of Cows.

Most Spanish bullfghtcrs object to fighting cows. The average toFeador is sincerely afraid of COW. And he has good reason. The cows. of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker in their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable. They do not lower their heads to the ground, shut their eyes and charge like loco motive upon the rails, but are alert and ready to follow every movement of their rersecutors. Exchange.

GERMAYY's LATEST UNTRUTH

said Dr. yOn Bethmann Holweg, the German imperial chancelor, in a speeLh before the reichstag last Thursday. Germany never had the slightes intention of attacking the United States of America and does not have such intention now" As well cOult the authorized spokes- man .or Prussianism have said on the first day of August, 1914: Ger many never had the slightest mten- ticu of attacking Belgium and 1t does uo1 have such intention now"
 Of course this latest speech was intended for home consumption. Surely the German chancellor is not so stupid as to believe the Ameri- can people are so deficient in mem ory as not to be able to recall Ger many's challenge to war, delivered ta tLe secretary Of state just two month ago. Germany in polite of fetal language notified this nation that in violation of her formal sol emn pledges she would attack and destroy American life and property without restraint. When, Ambassa- dor Yon Bernstorff delivered the note at Washington he remarked: This can mean nothing but war He Eas right.
 In view of the plot with Mexico and Japan, how can you account for the German chancellOr's menda~ city in the statement: Germany never had the slightest intention Of attacking the United States and doe not have such intention now? It is to be remembered that the pro posed conspiracy with Mexico was dated January 19, 1917 when the United States was at peace with Germany and twelve days before her declaration of war on the commerce O. the neutral world. Perhaps in the concept Of Prussianism stab il the back is not an attack"
 The United States has entered upon a great undertaking so mo mentous and far-reaehing in it's consequences that it calls for the wisest thought, the best blood and the highest courage. We are com mitted to the policy of national de- fense. We cannot take step back ward. We must see it through. Be- fore another week the people thru congress will decide upon the extent of naval and military operations for the immediate future. The people are not being lashed, as some pa cifieists assert, into war fury. On the contrary, considering the cir cumstances, the calmness Of the people in this crisis is remarkable.
 On one point the people are not permitting themselves to be de- cefyed nor are they deceivfna them- selves, and this is the main point: In dealing with the German govern ment, the United States Is now deal ing with an enemy. It is not the European war in it's general aspect that concerns us today but Prus- sianism's murderous attacks on our

Liquor Business Arraigned

The following was contributed last
week by the press supt. of the local w.
c. T. u, at which time we were unable
to spare the space necessary for it. 1t
is, consequently, printed this week:
Billy Sunday said recently, "It takes
a million boys a year to keep the sa-
looms going in the U. S. But we
know it goes a great sight deeper and
makes US weep for knowing. 1t breaks
million mothers hearts to keep the
booze going. Many of the American
brewers are Germans who left the
ratherland before the present anti
alcoholic movement began to sweep
through the empire and many of the
Americans have wrong impression Of
the Germans because of the prominence
of such names as Pabst, Busch, Schlitz,
and others, thinking that Germans as
nation are allied with the beer and wine
business. The patriotic and cultivated
Germans across the water are very SEN
sitive on this point. They deplore the
fact that in America the war against
sobriety, law, and order, should be led
by men of their race. The temperance
forces of the Fatherland sent in an
earnest appeal to the voters of Maine
to hold fas: to the prohibitory laws
that the whiskey trust is trying to
overthrow. Everywhere the people are
awakening to the fact there is no good
in alcoholic stimulants, and a whole lot
of harm. If it is as safe to drink now
and then as some would have us believe,
why are saloons ordered closed as soon
as they have riot Alcohol in man
makes him dangerous citizen and the
people demand that their property be
protected. Once at temperance meet
ing the speaker shouted, "If any man
here can name an honest business that
has been helped by the saloon, l will
spend the rest of my life working for
the liquor people. A man in the audi
ence arose and said 81 consider my
business an honest one and it has been
helped by the saloon" What is your
business?" cried the orator. II am an
undertaken" Let the w. c. T. u. keep
on with their seed sowing and we'll do
ing, that is sure to bring the blessing
of God and His own reward.
