THINGS THAT MAKE US WEARY

Were it not that the grain necessary to keep distillcries in operation may be needed for food during the war period, we would have no use whatever for the doe urine which advocates wartime prohibition, which is nothing more than a temporary goody-goody Spasm If the use of intoXi- cantS is a menace during war periods, it is just as much of a menace in periods of peace
 The law that closes drinking places on election day is another farce for if intoXi- cants are dangerous on election day, they are just as dangerous the other three hun drcd and sixty four days of the year. If drinking places are not fitting industries to be patronized on election day, they are public menace every other day in the year.
 And again. There is a law something about saloon not being allowed within one hundred yards of church which is another weaklmg for, if saloon is not fit to be within one hundred yards of a church, it is not fit to be within one hundred miles of that same church. No honest govern mcnt should license am industry to do busi- ness that is dangerous in time of war, that must keep its doors locked on election day or that is barred from exercising it's govern granted license within certain dis tance of a church. Really, we do not blame fow-fifths of the men engaged in the sale of liquor for wishing to get out of such gov ernment- -iockeyed business. They could not be more hampered by red tape if they were operating garbage crematories.

TERRITORY OF ALASKA BY THE GOVERNOR
PROCLAMATION

Whereas. the maintenance of a food supply is absolutely essential to national preparedness; and
 Whereas the people of this Ter rltory and the United States have cause for grave concern, owing to the depletion of the food reserves of the world through crop shortages of last year. increased demands from tho countries engaged in war; and the fact that there is little promise Of abundant winter grain crops; and
 Whereas. while Alaska is not strictly an agricultural country, still it is we'll known that our soil is ca pablo of producing mony kinds o' fruits and vegetables, and especially potatoes may bc raised in ubund- ance;
 And it is clearly recognized that the man who tuls the soil and pro- duccs food for his family at home will thus aid in furnishing food for the soldier in the field by decreas- ing our importations Of certain kinds or foodstuns. A service may, in this way. be rendered as truly patriotic as that given by the men who bear the brunt of battle.
 Therefore, in the present crisis peculiar responsibility rests upon the farming population and citizens generally Of this Territory and there is imperative need that the people Of Alaska shall fully realize the necessity for the largest possible production Of farm products during the present year, and every avail able plot Of land should be utilized in the production of foodstuns;
 NOW, THEREFORE. |. J. F. A. STRONG. Governor of the Territory Of Alaska, do urge upon the farmers Of Alaska. and the citizens of the re- spective towns. that they recognize this responsibility and their duty Co safeguard the welfare of tho Terri tory and the nation in this crisis, and to plant ground and increase the volume of agricultural products and thus lessen tho importation Of such into the Territory In this way the development Of agricult- ture will be promoted and thrift in- creased in a way that will rebound Co the benefit Of an the people.

In our opinion certain Alaska papers are going too far in their attempts to sub due and rclcgatc from sight all dogs. IL is fact that dogs, next to the hardy pio- neerS themselves, had more to do with the development of Alaska than any other agency. True, many dogs are worthless, but nearly every dog is the property of some boy and to deprive and rob that boy of his friend and pet is inhman. The trouble with too many men is, that while they have not forgotten that they were boys, they have forgotten what kind of boys they were-forgotten that they ever loved a dog. Vive Ia dog.

To talk of peace at this time, unless it comes about through the destruction of the German government as it now exists, is the Shcerest nonsense. We shall either put the German imperial government out of business, lock, stock and barrel, and ren- der it impotcut to again precipitate war, OF it will put us out of business. There can be mo middle ground now. Germany isn't going to surrender to us if she can help it; she isn't going to ask for peace just because we want peace, so long as she is capable of carrying on a war. And if she does ask for peace without reforming her government, if the present autocrats in power ask for peace and expect to remain in power, it will be that they may go ahead and build up a still greater war machine for attacking us at later date. That sort of peace no loyal American desires to see.

Never before have the representatives of foreign powers received such distin- guShcd attention in America as has been given Foreign Minister Balfom of England and General ,Joffrc of France Indeed, there is something fitting about America honoring Englnd's highest official Amer ica is practically Englnd's eldest daughter who left home for the reason that she did not like the treatment accorded her. She made good in the land she chose for a home and now that she has outgrown the mother country in numbers, wealth and resources, it is fitting that she should, from her store of unlimited wealth, assist the "old folks at home." The ties that are now being ere atcd between America, England and France will never again be severed by national diff -crcuccs. Together they will wipe Prussian mlitailism from the face of the earth and it will have mo place in the future conduct of the world

cational work in the five states. The
institutions to benft by the money
are the Pacific Union College, at st.

WIDOW Gets
INSURANCE CHECK

n. w, Merkley. local representa-

company, had the pleasure of deliv-

for $l02i Tuesday. This was in
payment of the policy of life insur-
ance carried by Mr.. Stettler, whose
death occurred but one week ago
This prompt and liberal settlement
Is highly appreciated by all their
policy holders and Mr.. Merkley says
there Is not thing in the world
that gives more pleasure than taking
to the sorrowing widow and family
check in payment of life insur-
ance carried by the head OF the
family.
A similarly prompt settlement was
made to n. G. Sorsenson of Mendon
short time ago in payment of the
policy carried by his wife.
The Beneficial is daily making ad-
ditional converts TO insurance and
nothing will do more than their
prompt and liberal settlement of
claims as in the two cases mention
ed above. Mr.. Merkley is writing a
nice business for the "Beneclal."

Wilson Responsible.

1t having been definitely decided
to withdraw the forces under Major
General Pershing from Mexico, there
will be considerable apprehension as
TO the fate of the colonists in that
section of the republic. This Is
particularly true in Utah, on account
of the large number of Mormons at
present under the protection of the
punitive expedition. But there are
other settlers in Mexico besides the
Mormon colonists. and there will be
an earnest protest all over the coun-
try against the withdrawal of Perish
ing unless Carranza sends regular
troops to protect these settlers.
It Is said that General Obregon,
minister of war. has ordered Gener-
al Murguia to be prepared to occupy
the territory at present garrisoned
by American troops. The order is
all right but the Americans should
not start on their return trip to the
border until the proper assurances
are given that the settlers will not
be left unprotected and Murguia's
men are actually on the way thithor.
The bandits should not be given the
least possible chance to make a raid
upon these defenseless colonists. AS
10
in President Wilson's hands, he will
be solely responsible for whatever
happens following the withdrawal of
Pershing and his khaki-clad boys.
We fail 10 see wherein the Joint
Mexican American commission ac-
complshed any real good. at least so
far as the United States Is concern
ed. In fact. we seem to have lost
prestige as the result of the confer
ences. Carranza has persistently de-
manded that the American troops
be withdrawn and even went so far
as to stop the pursuit of villa, sew
eral American soldiers being killed
in the fight which followed. Now
the troops are to be ordered to re-
turn to the border and it begins to
look as though the de facto chief
had gained his point and that the
Washington administration had fur
nished more proof of the charge of
weakness and indecision in regard
to dealing with the Mexican situa-
tion. We hope 1t will turn out all
right. but so long as villa remains
on earth and bands of bandits con-
tinue to roam at will over northern
Mexico there will be danger of Dor
der raids and intervention.-Sal

Storage" Legislation
Not Popular.

II begins to look as though some
of the storage" bills will have rou-
gh shedding before they pass the
Legislature. Members are not talk
ing kindly to the idea of being told
just what to do. and how to act.
The idea of doing away with a
$4,000 Chaplain for the members
of the house, and appropriating
$500 to pay man to tell them what
to do does not wear well with some
of the members, and if the session
goes through without genuine re-
volt the democratic party will be
lucky.

Out of Their
| SurDlus.

The coal shortage has brought
forth its perennial legislative inves-
tigation, and 1t is now in order for
some member of the legislature to
rise up and say there must be a
minimum rate on coal. and in doing
SO he will relate how the coal ba-
rons have made millions while the
people have permitted them to make
their own rates. All right give us
a minimum rate, but when doing so
don't be partial, give us a minimum
rate on sugar, butter. cheese and
eggs. Sugar companies are contin-
ually building new factories "out of
their surplus" and we are now in
formed that the Utah Condensed
Milk company is building a plant at
Sacramento "out of it's surplus"
having made so much money that it
cannot find room to invest in Utah.
And eggs have gone so high that in
that respect alone the chicken man
has a keen monopoly. While at it
level all ranks and "lay the shep-
ards crook beside the sceptre."
