THE NOME POLITICAL
FACTIONS ARE IN
BITTER FIGHT

According to the Cordova Times of
the 18th, whose representative OBJ
tanned an interview with District At
torney Smiser, when the latter reurn.
ed from his trip to Nome, political fac
tons in that division are at war in
which Judge Holzheimer appears to
be the target. Says the Times:
Charges and counter-charges of a
personal and political nature have
been so freely made against the fed.
eral officials at Nome that the whole
of Seward peninsula has become en-
broiled in bitter factional fight, cog
nizance of which was finally taken
by the department of justice, and re-
suited in a thorough investigation of
all concerned.
Judge James A. Smiser, of Juneau,
district attorney for the First Divis-
ion, was sent to Nome by the depart
ment as special investigator, and
he is in Cordova today on his return
home. Judge Smiser declined, of
course, to give out his findings, but
stated that all of the concrete facts
in the controversy would be laid be-
fore the officials at Washington.
1t apears that numerous and divers
charges were made against Judge
Holzheimer. who was appointed to
the bench less than year ago. He
is charged with having gambled and
with being pro-German. The former
count resulted from his having played
social game of cards at the Arctic
Brotherhood Club for cigars, and his

ADVANTAGES OF GENERALIZATION

President Wilson is vested with greater power than any
other man on earth. The authority no exercises by virtue of
the constitution and recent acts and resolutions of congress is
greater than the German emperor enjoys. AS communicating
chief of the military and naval forces of America he can do
any thing he pleases as long as congress supplies the money
If Capitalization of authority in one man is a requisite OF
success in war we lack nothing on that score. The difference
between this country and Germany is that America was organ
lied on a peace basis and we never expected to be forced into a
great European war, as we now know. Having the generally
admitted military advantage of a dictatorship in time of war,
America will be the most formidable of military powers before
Some members of both houses of congress demand a war
cabinet to assist the president. That would weaken his author
ity and stand in the way of his making qiuck decisions in emer-
gencies. He has done so much and has done so well that the
American people will prefer to give the war dictatorship idea
a fair test before interfering with it.
Colonel Roosevelt, critic-in-chief of the administration
would not listen to proposals for a war cabinet if he were in the
White House. Why should congress listen to him and his
friends who are advocating a war cabinet?-Exchange.

IRISH LEADER is CALLED TRAITOR

Sir Edward Carson's resignation from the British war cab
met causes the London Daily News to speculate on the posi-
bility that President Wilson has brought pressure to bear on
the British government in favor of home rule for Ireland. Car
son was the leader of the Ulster rebellion which encouraged
Germany to begin this war. The Ulster conspirators had re-
ceived arms and ammunition from Germany, and the kaiser felt
sure that the Irish situation would keep the British empire out
of the war; so he invaded Belgium, thinking that England
would not and could not come to her relief and take part in
the war.
Now that only four counties in northeastern Ulster stand
out against home rule, Carson again opposes the government
He and his Orange following would rather lose the war than
have Justice done to Ireland. His most powerful supporter is
Lord Lansdowne, the English Junker, who fears that the landed
gentry of the United Kingdom will be submerged along with
prussian Junlertum at the end of this war. President Wilson
has Scotch Irish blood in his veins and he can judge what is
best for Ireland as well as any other man. AS for Carson, If
fell Justice had been done he would have been hanged for high
treason instead of receiving cabinet positiOns-Exchange.

COPPER PRICE AND PROFITS

The government-fixed price of % 1-2 ments Tor copper was
renewed to June 4, 1913, by order of President wilson o IL rec
ommendation of the war industries board. The price was IS
tablished on Sept. 81, 1917, to last until Jan. 81 1910 me
price when established was intended to include existing costs
of production and to provide no more than a normal prof." per
pound copper-that is, a profit that would d e horma !" '0
copper industry on normal conditions.
It has since developed that the increase in supplies ana a
Dor costs i'm 1917, the expensive strikes, the disruption OF per-
sonnet by military draft and enlistment, ana railroad cohSes-
ton PLAYED havoc with costs as originally figured, so on Dec.
a. 1917. when the question came up for consideration OF We
government-fixed price, the higher-cost producers asked for
Is to 26 cents per pound, and that the price be fixed for a per-
iOd to June 80.
Both requests have been turned down by the government,
but in view of the general policy of public retrenchment In war
expenditures. the fact that the % 12 cent price has been con-
tinued in force, instead of being "cut," may be Interpreted as
some sort of a concession to the copper industry, also the fact
that the new agreement extends only to June 4 instead of to
June 80 may prove later on to be a further consideration favor
ing the copper industry in the event that a more mature digest
of the official costs reports for 1917 should induce the govern
ment to amend the price upward at the next hearing.
1t may be of interest to point out that there is less than SIX
per cent profit on the investment in the copper industry on a
% 1-2 cent price for copper metal, and based on the costs of
production in the second half year 1917. Statistics prepared
by the mining department of the New York Commercial mdl-
cate a straight operating cost of 1884 cents per pound, and a
war tax approximating three cents per pound copper produc-
ton subject to corporation war taxes. This gives a direct
cost of S3-4 cents per pound.
If the investment in the copper industry in plant and work
ing funds be conservatively figured at 30 cents per pound an
nual capacity, there is an added cost of three cents per pound
representing interest on the investment at six per cent az
cents per pOund) and representing return of the capital invest
ment amortization within 20 years. There is a total cost in
Dictated is p 81 cents per pound, leaving 4 34 cents per pound
profit, or 5S3 per cent on the capital investment of 30 cents
per pound annual production. A 25-cent price for copper
would yield 1888 per cent on the investment.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF

1t is by no means clear that President Wilson had the tariff
in mind when, in his address to congress on January 8 last, he
spoke of "the removal so far as possible of economic barriers. y
The presidents words are open to that construction, 1T must
be admitted, and millions of Americans would like to have him
define his position more clearly.
The other view of the case, which is at least equally plaus-
tremists who insist that Germany and the German people
should be punished by trade and financial ostracism for years
after the end of the war. Mr.. Wilson has stated more than
once that we do not desire to destroy Germany or German in
dustries. The German people have added and can again add
much to the real wealth of the world, and the world is better off
when its collective wealth is increased in any fair way.
Germany possesses the best potash mines in existence and
enjoys a practical monopoly of cheap potash, which is indis-
pensable for the fertilization of our cotton, tobacco and wheat
fields. Muriate of potash, the common fertilizer salt, costs ten
times as much today as it did before the war. German mines
have sold it in New York for twenty dollars a ton or less in
days when competition was free, before the Imperial Kali Syn
dictate was formed, and can do it again. In this and other re
spects Germany will be able to serve us after the war, and our
farmers will refuse to pay three or four hundred dollars a ton
for it to punish Germany.
On the other hand, our manufacturers of dyestuffs and
chemicals have broken the thrall of German monopoly, and
they are entitled to protection for the services they are now
rendering and also for freedom from that monopoly. We pos
sess unlimited supplies of the raw materials, so the case is not
similar to that of potash. The president could forestall at
tempts to make political capital out of this part of his address
to congress if he could explain that he referred to a belligerent
boycott of Germany or a trade war after the var, and not to the
ence while the war goes on.-New York Commercial.

THRIFT TEACHING BY THE WAR STAMP CAMPAIGN

Tive great public needs are being served by this capnaign
Uncle Sam needs the money, thus borrowed in small sums
fer national defense.
And the American people are in great need of the practical
lesson in thrift which this great nationwide campaign will
bring home to them.
Amrricons trifle away vast sums of money every day in
small drIbS for nOn-essenials. These small sums should al
once be saved and loaned to the government for war service.
This war stamp plan enables everybody, rich and poor, to
help win the war and to be paid for this help at four per cent
interest.
Urge your friends, and especially your children, to get in
tune with this great movement to help Uncle Sam and to teach
sane and rational economy in small expenditures.
KEEP up the savings habit and the purchase of these stamps
Urge others to do so. There is no easier way to render valuable
service to your country.

EAST HAS IT'S WILDCATS

PARKWAY fields look green. In Philadelphia and other
cities promoters are trying to sell stock in gold and platinum
mines located in the Adirondacks and other parts of New York
state. This game is half a century old and is based on the
fact that traces of both metals have been found. Philadelphia
people should know that traces of gold can be found in the clay
soil of their city which make a better showing than anything
ever uncovered in the Adirondack. Contrary to popular be-
lief, gold is a very widely distributed mineral, but this Adiron-
dack scheme should be classed with the one to extract gold
from sea wateJ.-New York Commercial.

asking the government only for a fixed price of 81 for silver
which, under the present conditions of supply and demand n

to consumers of the metal, would enable operators to mine sill
yer at a profit and result in vastly stimulating the industry IF
the price of silver can be stabilized for an extended nor;oa :.

THE KAISER'S REAL AIMS

According to August Thyssen, a German millionaire, the
kaiser promised the wealthy men of Germany the loot of the
Pritish empire in return for contributions to his war chest.
One Of the details was the formation of a syndicate to exploit
Canada. AS this would have violated the Monroe doctrine,
America would have had to fight Germany single handed if she
won this war. This disclosure sweeps aside the kaisers pre-
tense Of waging a defensive war. What he aimed at was the
loot of half the world and suzerainty over the rest.

When a farmer says he made a thousand dollars last year
ne means that he saved that much after paying all living ex-
pcnses and making repairs and improvements. A city man
does not deduct living expenses when making a similar state
mont. Will the federal income tax collectors change the farm
ers system of bookkeeping? If not, farmers need not worry
about the income tax.

surrender to Germany if the entente allies do not help them.
