With the navy department firmly requesting that AL aska coal be brought from the Matanuska field to the all year-around open port at Seward at the earliest possible moment and the Alaskan engineering commission making deliberate plans ship coal via Anchorage it is plain that the two branches of the have not reached the full and complete understanding necessary to avoid loss of time in putting the coal where it is most needed e. in factories and on ships.

A PATRIOTIC ACT

The action of the railroad man
ayers in agreeing to the, eight-hour
day basis for the workers on the
railroads will commend itself gener-
ally to the American people and their
representatives in Congress. The
sinking of the three American ships
and the state of war that virtually
ensues with that event, had its con-
trolling influence. AS one side or
the other had to give way, the rail-
roads chose to surrender. That they
will stand a better chance thereby
for securing compulsory arbitration
and other legislation that will make
a railroad strike an impossibility for
the future goes without saying. The
Adamson law was a reaction in favor
CT the brotherhoods, because>>they
had accepted the Presidents pro-
posal for a compromise and the
railroads had rejected it.
The country breathes more freely
as it girds up It's loins for war. The
Supreme Court has preserved its
proper dignity, at not being hurried
into decision, no matter what the
danger to the country might have
been. Its decision will be awaited
with academic interest. And all's
well that ends well.

PARCEL POST FOOD
BUYING CRITICISED
One Correspondent Of District
Investigating Committee
Finds Fault With Farmers.

Letters received by the District
food investigation committee indicate
a striking diversity of opinion among
consumers regarding purchase OF sup
plies by parcel post.
One writer says his wife, after
many attempts to get food prooucts
in this way, gave 1t up in despair.
Another says the problem OF high
prices has been solved to some extent
by buying eggs and butter through
the parcel post.
among the troubles my wife had
were the following" says the hrst
writer: "She had poor success IN get
ting replies to inquiries for prices. In
one instance, she sent out eight pos
tai cards to addresses found in
bulletin of the Postoffice Department
and got not a single reply. In otner
cases, when she did get replies, she
found that the prices quoted were as
high as those prevailing in the mar
ket, so she not only saved noth1ns'
but had all the trouble of Sendtng

and money orders. -
when she did buy in that way the
goods were no better than those oo-
tanned in market.
Farmers ought not 10 eNpeet "
get as much when they sell direct 10
the consumer as the consumer would

The second writer related expert

ST. PATRIcK'S DAY

Are we becoming a nation of
Inenyc0d6ss? Is there no enduring
of hardship for a sentiment or a
cause? In Germany the soldiers,
who were glad to lie on straw at the
bottom Of a freight car to be trans
ported to the front, are still laughing
at our national guard troops who de-
msnded Pullman cars for the trip to
the Mexican border and wanted a
Congressional investigation when
three soldiers were put into two dou-
bic seats. And in New York, on
St. Patrick's Day, the immemorial
custom of a parade of the Sons of St.
Patrick was allowed to die because
there was a rain. Nobody would ever
have supposed before that valiant
Coroner Timothy Healy. who walks
as though he were marching to "The
Wearing Of the Green would have
carried the news to the waiting thou
sands along the sidewalk, in a taxi
cab at that, that the parade had been
called of. The sons of fathers who
had marched in violation of laws and
ordinances, with Orangemen assail-
ing them, with brickbats bouncing off
their heads, were afraid of rain!
Or was there a deeper reaeon why
even st. Patrick's Day did not
awaken the customary enthusiasm
this year? Is it that at this particu-
lar time, Irish-Americans are forget
ting the word before the hyphen and
emphasizing the word Americans"
as never before7 Has hyphenism of
the German variety made all other
kinds momentarily unpopular? Ger
tainly something besides shower of
rain is needed as an explanation for
the calling of of the parade in New
York on st. Patrick's Day.

FRIGHTFULNESS FAILS

The British board of trades an
nouncement that during the month
of February the value of Britain's
imports increased by $4,000, 900
and her exports by S4,7o0,O00 does
not speak very well for the efficacy
of unrestricted U-boat Frightfulness.
1t becomes more and more evident
that Berlin is resorting to the old
expedient Of trying to convince itself
of the success of its latest drive to
win the war by repeating over and
over again the boast that it is sue
eeeding. The boast, unfortunately
for Berlin, does not jibe with the
facts.

interfered with the legislature so
successfully as to accomplish things.
Since coming to the Senate, he has
constituted himself the watchdog
against Executive aggression and
the tyranny and despotism" Of
Presidents. He fell out with Taft
because Taft did not give him proper
consideration in party counsels. He
has attacked Woodrow Wilson upon
every possible occasion, not as diff
fering from his policies, which was
his right, but because the President
used his influence with Congress to
pass even the legislation that Cum
minis favored. Coupled with this
passion of his to antagonize the Ex-
ecutive is a distressing species of
megalo-cephalon, in the language of
the street, the "big-head." The Cum
minis Improvement upon a bill is al
ways more important than the bill
itself.
Disaster came to him, as to the
other eleven, when he chose to carry
out his self-willed opinions in the
face of the country's danger. The
country was wishing more power to
the Presidents arm at the moment
when Cummins was trying to tie his
hands. The Kaiser has no Senator
Cummins to contend with. The Sen
ator from Iowa will manifest both
wisdom and patriotism if he bends
his energies henceforth in efforts to
disarm and restrain. the Kaiser
rather than the President of the
United States. The country can
look out for the state of tyranny
and despotism that the Senator, as
the country's self-appointed guard.

CUMMINS AND THE PRESIDENT

News value was given to Senator
Cummins' defense and apology be-
fore the New York Republicans by
the fainting spell that overcame him
in the midst of his argument. The
physical collapse which we hope is
temporary is itself not without its
lesson. The Senator had set himself
an. impossible mental task, that of
justifying his conduct before a body
of intelligent and patriotic men. fell
low-party men though they were.
The Senator declared the watch
word, "Stand by the President" to be
the first cry of despotism and
tyranny. Denying that he filibus-
tered, in making an overlong speech
on the ship arming bill in the closing
hours of the session, he declared
that he twas opposed to it because it
attempted to confer upon the Presi-
dent the unlimited authority, whether
in jnstrumentality or in method, to
make war" Besides there was the
Cummins amendment concerning mu-
nition-carryirT ships that must be
respectfully considered though the
hcavens fell.
