TIME FOR ACTION

On the steamer Evans, sailing north as fast as steam can bring them is a party of men who hold the fu- ture of Alaska in their hands. The party is composed of Assistant Sec retary Herbert A. Meyer, in charge of the affairs of the Alaskan railway, and Secretary Lanes confidential ad- wiser; R. F. Austin, his secretary; A. D. Shepard, prominent San Fran cisco railway man, and several engi- neers of international reputation. It is one of the most prominent parties ever touring Alaska, inasmuch as it's opinions and advices are accepted by the government in regard to improve ments made and policies adopted.
 The question arises: What will Valdez do to entertain the party while in port; provided the steam ship arrives at Valdez in the day time? Will we allow them to land unattended and hunt out the re-

AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW

Lest we forget, it is not entirely inappropriate to call attention to the claims of the party in power in Wash ington during the recent campaign that Americas prosperity is not a war prosperity. The whole country fully realizes today that our prosperity has been created by war. In fact, the sec retary of the treasury, during the ear ly stages of our war with Germany, predicted that the $10,00O,OO0,00O which were spent in the United States would bring to the nation a period of economic prosperity without preced- ent-and in a sense it has.
 An article by Sydney Brooks, the eminent British journalist and maga- zine writer, entitled Americas Fly ing start" appear in the current is- sue of Everybody's. It is introduced with these words.
 II wonder if Americans quite req lize what the war has done for them, and had done for them long before they entered it. First, it saved them from a commercial collapse at about the last moment when it could still be tended off; secondly it deluged the United States with a stream of pros perity the like of which had never been known in the history of this or any other land. Thirdly, it did more in a few months than a half century

RESTORING THE QUEUE

The new Chinese government, which has been restored-whether temporarily or permanently is for the future to decide-has decreed that the wearing of the queue shall be optional. Thus, what the republican government accomplished at one stroke of the shears, has been un- done with a stroke of the pen-and obviously the supporters of the mon- archy think they have made ten strike with the populace.
 Whether China is fit for self-gOv ernment is world riddle. This civ lization, which is one of the oldest in the world, is probably the most backward. When the republic, under Yuan Shi Kai, the president-dictator, abolished the queue as sign of modern enlightenment, it was thot that this symbol was prophetic of the regeneration of China. Yet the incl dent reminds one of Russia when Pet CT the Great, more than two hundred years ago, aroused deep resentment among his long-bearded people by in- troducing a razor among them-and occasionally plying it on the recalci- trants in punishment for their diso- bedience.
 One may we'll wonder whether China, in it's controversy over the queue today, is where Russia was at the time of Peter the Great. We find the Russian monarch's emerging from absolution and setting up one of the worlds most promising repub- lies. At the same time the vast en- pire of the Celestials is apparently at the point of discarding the experi- ment of democracy and returning to it's age-long slumber, its incipient vision gone, its worship of ancestry as it's greatest evil and the pole star of it's existence.
 Democratic nations will hope that the crisis of today will not mark its recidivation into the mire of the past, for hungry wolves are ready to

sources and advantages of this sec tion alone and uniformed, or shall we organize a committee to meet these gentlemen, show them our town, run them. out on the trail so they can see the easy grade over the summit to the Interior, and point out to them the superior harbor fa- cilities and near proximity to both the Boring River and Chickaloon coal fields.
 The importance of entertaining Mir. Meyer and party cannot be ov- erestimated. Valdez has been passed by for years now because her citizens have paid too little attention to pub licity. She has not made noise enuf. In this day of prodigious advertising the man or locality who sits still and expects to be noticed by the busy world is bound to lose out. A brass band gets more publicity than tin whistle.
 We would request every citizen in town to be on the wharf when the Evans comes in. Have the Moose Band meet the boat, and repre- sentative body of business men con- duct them up town with autos. For this purpose several citizens should donate cars. If Capt. Glasscock can be prevailed upon to lay over for a few hours a trip to the canyon could be made, which would open our visi- tors eyes to the fine road to the In- terior starting from this town. Re- member that but little is known of Valdez outside and this has been badly distorted by self-seeking inter- ests Let us try and correct some of these mistakes by meeting MT. Meyer and giving his party the freedom of the city while here.
 As time is short, the Evans being expected in here some time Satur- day, our citizens should act at once.

of enterprise in times of peace could have done to advance Americas po- sition in international finance, in the ocean-carrying trade and in foreign commence, ."
 Incidentally, Mir. Brooks has high praise for the enterprise and re- sourcefullness of American industry in shifting from a peace to a war ba- sis but he huris few brickbats as well as other boquets-one in par ticular for the navy and another for the war department.
 "A great part of the problem of munitions Ill America" he says, consists in a sensible use of the re- sources which have already been de- veloped to meet the needs of the al- lies. But there is no guarantee that in every case these resources will be sensibly used.'
 For instance, he proceeds to point 1 out, England has ordered hundreds
  ican firm-speedy eighty-foot boats, of light draft, with radius of 1000 miles. The British admiralty has found them to be the most adequate submarine chaser that have yet been invented, and the American concern has standardized its plant so that it can turn them out much as Henry Ford builds his motor cars. But for some reason the navy department has ordered 11O-foot boats with draft that prevents their working over mine field and with a radius no great CT, if as great radius as the eighty foot boat. No company is equipped to build them quickly and thus much time is lost in the war on the sub- marine.
 It is further observed tha the Uni ted States has adopted the British Enfield rifle because American manu- lecturers are prepared to turn this type out in tremendous numbers hay ing made thousands for England. But for some reason the war department has ordered these rifles rechambered to take American ammunition. Mill tary opinion would say that arma- ments should be uniform in order to prevent delays in delivery but for some reason the war department has decreed otherwise.
 In connection with these points of criticism the writer says: Il think if 1 were an American I should look into this matter"-and perhaps it would be profitable for Americans to do so.
