WE like Senator Lodges idea Of the
sort of peace terms that will be made
with Germany. "No peace that salts
fees Germany" he says, "can ever sat
isfy US. 1t cannot be negotiated
peace. Ii must be dictated peace,
and we and our Allies must ditate it."
Germany should be made to pay the
last farthing for the terrible destruction
and suffering she has brought upon the
world and her atrocities must be fully
avenged by the council of nations that
is keeping stern and relentless account
of her evil deeds.

bit with his pick and through his efforts the Zenith
mine near Butler has become known as the Zoo per

Mckay has set pace that forces every digger in the
mine to do 50-hour week

send my boy, and if coal means shells I'm going to
see that there is lots of COAL

Ohio's Referendum

AT the late election in Ohio referendum amend

amendments to the federal constitution should be
ratified by the votes of the people rather than egis
ature The question of the validity of such an amend
ment was raised during the campaign It was con-
tended that the federal constitution had already pro
ded different way for the expression of states on
proposed constitutional northumberland their
legislatures and that any other way unauthorized by
the constitution would be invalid
But there was no way of settling this controversy
at that time. 1t was question of law and judicial
determination. When in September an appeal was
MADE TO the supreme court of the state an express
son. the court replied that it without power to
pass upon mere constitutional proposal which might
or might not be adopted by the people: il would have

said he was there to discover resources
of far greater value than gold. By
painstaking efforts through several
years he proved that many kinds of
food plants would crow in the interior.
Then he adopted for his life work the
task of developing hardy grains and
plants that would mature perfectly,
with absolute certainty, yield abund-
antly and survive the cold. His task
is now far advanced. He returned just
before Christmas and announced that
Alaska will produce food, fuel and
metals for a population of many mil
lions; that he has perfected hybrid
wheat. oats and barley that will grow
to perfection and yield abundant crops
throughout an area of $4,000 square
miles; strawberry plant that survives
the winters without protection and
produces enormous crops of berries
having a most delicious flavor: alfalfa
of new kind that will provide food
for live stock and replenish the nitro
gen of air and soil, and many other
wonderful things. These were funda-
mental needs-facts accomplished.
THE agricultural possibilities of
Alaska are as great he said, as all
the minerals in the ground, and all that
have been taken out, put together and
multiplied.
This is a big statement, / know,
but, take a mining claim, There may
be a million in it. With every thou =
sand taken GU, you diminish its value
Eventually it is exhausted. Take 20, or
100, or any number of acres of tillable
land, and start cultivation. For hun
dreds of generations it will produce its
quota for the human race. China has
been farmed for thousands of years and
still supports from the soil $50 ,000, O00
people. The same will be true OF
Alaska.

country has emerged triumphantly from a great war
IN which its soldiers and its citizens bore their part
nobly. We have before us prospect of prolonged
peace long of prosperity. The more sangune Of

Surely this is a fine setting for Thanksgiving Day
But that day will be tempered to many thousands

have fallen that and the world may have such
cause not for rejoicing. but for contemplative en-

fices, must bear in mind those of our neghbors who

The first step since the for the protection of
home industries taken at the suggestion Of the
War Industries Board which secured from importers
Of hats an agreement not to import styles of hats
which under the orders of the board, domestic
facturers are forbidden to make
The board explaining the reasons for cxactins this
agreement said: 1T considered unfair to the
American manufacturer that his Willingness to join
with the government conserve materials necessary
the prosecution of the shauld leave him open
competition with foreign products similarly
regulated"
In the circumstances this is a proper measure of
protection 1t affords greater protection tariff
would afford it is positive barrier 1t keeps out
the American market kinds of hats against which
American manufacturers cannot compete for lack of
material whose conservation the industries board
had ordered.
But materials are not all that go into a hat That
is less than half the cost of high priced American hat
The chief element cost is the skilled labor that is
put into it, When in the course of time the war has
fully ended and the restoration of normal conditions
has begun the American hat manufacturer will feel
another handicap of which the industries board
win not be able relieve hm-the cheaper labor of
Europe He will need protection against that as much
as he needs protection against the more favored
position with respect material of the European
hat manufacturer.
The war industries board farther along in it's ex-
PLANTATION Of its request of the importers say:
at was considered unfair to the American manu-
facturer that his willingness to join with the rest of
the people of the country in the conservation of human
life and health and happiness by paying higher wages
and maintaining better conditions labor should
leave him open to competition with foreign products
not manufactured under similar conditions"
When peace is fully established conditions as to
materials, in Europe and America will probably pe
similar nearly that the American manufac-
turer would not need protection that score. But
how about conditions of labor wages the most vital
element of cost?

ammany

The Christian Science Monitor finds excuse for
the existence of Tammany Otherwise says the
Monitor it could have sustained the defeats it
has sustained. But sin has survived much budgeon-
ing and is about robust ever.
The Monitor though points out affirmatvely some
good Tammany has done emitting it, the opinion of
many excellent citizens to be regarded as a useful in
stitution, for when everything is said Tammany has
been fcr generations and is today, great democratic
political institutions has more perhaps start
the lliterate and ignorant beginner the way to an
understanding of the American system of politics and
government than any other single agency detached
from education and religion"
1t may be no fault of Tammany if some of those
who have started have done well but have rather
cast discredit upon Tammany. It has given them
chance and thousands have made good.
Tammany is not religious institution. 1t incul-
Gates morals only to certain extent the degree in
which they contribute TO success in politics.
