IT IS COMING FAST.

It is already quite while since the United States declared against Germany; compara- lively speaking; yet in Alaska with the excep- tion of few demands for contributions to the Red Cross or some other causes, we have not learned the meaning of that declaration. We have not been without all the foodstuffs we need ed without coal or anything else, may say without all the liquors wanted. We have spent our money without thinking much of the future. On the question our state of mind has been merely passive However, we are coming to the point where conditions are being forced on us and we have no choice either The local food administrators have declared limit on sugar already. Shortly other items will be added until everything will be regulated. But as bad as such condition may be. we should abide by the administrators dctum without grumbling and even add to the conservation of foodstuffs if possible and thus avoid worse than a limita- tion, because there may come a time when limi- tation may be extended to include positive re- striction Let us realize that this is war time and conduct ourselves accordingly. It i pre- ferabe to obey the law willingly than be forced te obey. It does not leave that feeling that there is some one who is capable of making Us obey. But there is.

THE FEUDSMAN,

(From the Tonronto (Can) and Empire.)
 When Sir Wifrid Laurer and his aders and abet- busy stirring up radical feeling in Quebec and breeding misunderstanding between that province and the of the country it is seasonabe to recall words of Thomas D Arcy McGee, true patriot member of the historical coalition government of 1864. and of the fathers of confederation. He said
 "The result of my observation is that there is noth ing to be dreaded in this country than feuds arising from religion and nationality. On the other hand the thing needed for making Canada the happiest of homes is to rub down all sharp angles and to those asperities which divide people questions of origin and religious profession Tre in all origins men good, bad and indifferent; yet for part. experience is that in all classes the good predomin ates.

WE ARE GOING SOMEV RE.

Speaking of the eight hour law which went into effect yesterday-the ridiculous side of which we have shown--we may add that it's ab- Surdity is magnifed with it's operation. Already in our little town-in one line of business at least. the price of service has gone up as much as twenty-five per cent, the direct effect of the application of the law. with no possible chance of avoiding the increase.
 For the government to control the price of coal, flour, hours of labor or anything else, for that matter, when there is scarcity of the com modity. is to our mind the limit of foolishness There can be no particular good derived from a restricted price of coal or restricted hours of labor when there isn't enough to go round If We had coal in abundance and crowded supply of labor. the restriction of the price of coal or the shortening of the hours of labor would help, but when the reverse exists we fail to see who
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-01-02

is the gainer. As matter of fact we are all losers. If here is a shortage of coal, by hold ing the price down, we prevent an increase in the supply. If we are short of labor and we diminish the hours of labor we simply made Q bad situation worse.
 We believe in an eight hour law, but that law must be such that it can be stretched to lit all cases. In this case the law fits no place. Evidently the engineer of that law must have had grude against himself, or against us. Any how if that law is found to be constitutional and is enforced, we shall soon be going somewhere.

THE FOOL MOTHER.
(From the Minneapolis JournaD


 The Rev. Dr. s. P. Cadnan, of Brooklyn, in a talk to gathering of mothers told of fond and foolish New York mother who took her enlisted all the way to the Texas border in a limousine instead of letting him rough it with the other guardsmen This motherng proved almost calamity to him when he found himself among his fellows.
 The fate of boys with fool mothers is far than that of those who have to face wars grim realities with out homes in which they lovingly remembered This is diarbe against the fond fooshness of the loving mother for these things the boy stand and thrive under And they give him mperishable memories of home and of the loving that is dear in the ory.
 But there is line to be drawn between the fond perhaps almost foolsh-moher and the fool mother who demoralizes and handcaps her children by her silly narrow perspective of life.
 War is an awful disaster and sad waste, but it has it's values One of these is found in the fact that it making of boys whose mothers have done much to make something else of them Some of these boys may even teach the beginnings of good the mothers who have tried to spoil them.

Great Gains in Meat.

WASHINGTON, March IL. Evidence
that the public made general response to
the Food Administration appeal for in
creased production and decreased con-
sumption of meat is shown in statistics
furnished the Food Administration by
the Department of Agriculture.
Meat animals in the United States in
creased by 100000 in the year ending
January /, 1918 Inspections OF beef TOR
slaughter increased 24.5 per cent, but in
pections of hogs decreased 2l.3 per cent
and inspections of sheep fell q 9 per
cent.
The gains in available meat indicated
by these figures were what caused the
Food Administration recently to relax re-
strictions on meat consumption, so that
there might be greater saving of wheat
for export.
