THE AGITATOR MENACE.

At last accounts sixteen men arc dead in Phillips county because o race riots for which there was nc reason of any sort Scores have been wounded
 Troops are patrolling the streets of Elaine and Helena and there may be more trouble. The relations be- tween the white and black people of that county have suffered rupture that may not heal for generation.
 And the real guilty ones have es- capped punishment.
 The men who are responsible for the deaths in Phillips county are those agitators who instilled in the minds of few negroes the idea that they were being imposed on indus trially and were the sufferers from an unjust social discrimination.
 These men, perverted of mind and morals, are active throughout the South and in many other sections of the country. They generally are white men. They are the greatest menace that we have in these recon struction times.
 The present time is an ideal one for the agitator among the blacks Thousands of negroes are just back from France where they associated on terms of equality with degener. ated class of French They have vivid impressions of this life in France. Many who didn't go have been told. On top of this they have made big money at one thing or an other and have tasted of new pleas ures. They are ripe for the agitator and when he comes along little work on his part is necessary to excite this class, small but dangerous.
 The man who in these times tells negro that he is the social equal of white man man is guilty of in citing to riot. The man who goes about telling the negroes that the time has come for them to assert themselves and claim their rights, :" is a wholesale murderer in the mak- ing.
 We believe that nine tenths of the negroes in the South are law abiding citizens. There is another fractional part of the black population, however, which is bad. It is to this part that the agitator appeals and when they are won over, many other negroes who otherwise would be law abiding fall in line with their militant broth CTS.
 Left to themselves, the negroes would live in the same communities with the white man in perfect peace and harmony, just as they have done for years, and just as they would be doing in Phillips county today if 1t had not been for the agitator.
 Reconstruction times, like the present, call for tolerance It is up to the white man and the leaders in the negro race to exercise this forbear- ance, to be considerate of each other. to preach and teach peace and con tentment with each other and our own condition.
 The South, and the country in general for that matter, would per form a great social service if the leaders of both races would teach and preach contentment and urga the negroes to live in peace with those white men whom they have always found to be their friends
 Finally there should be systema- tic effort on the part of both whites and blacks to locate and cause the arrest of all agitators of both colors. When these men are apprehended a way can be found for punishing them.

THE U. 8. BUREAU OF MARKETS

When the U. S. Bureau Of Markets
was organized it was considered fine
step forward for the prooucer of food
staffs. 1t would keep him informed
OF the trend of the market and would
euable him to get top prices at all
times.
The weakness Of the arrangement,
from the standpoint of the public,
however, is that it has enabled the
middleman to know exactly what to
pay the producer and what to charge
the public. 1t has enabled the middl-
man to squeeze an extra profit out of
the business.
The U. S. Market Bureau, operating
at remarkable mileage of leased
wires, collects a lot of information at
a great cost and hands it out free
the public pays the freight through
Congressional appropriations and gets
nGilked
Middlemen and cold storage inter
ests regard the Market Bureau
prices as fixed By the Government"
They are not, of course-merely be-
ing prices as fair or proper" by
the government-but the pyschologi-
cal effect is to give government sane
ton on certain prices that the en-
tire army Of food profiteers regards
as official. Nobody, it seems, needs
to sell below the market bureau
prices, no matter what the glut OF
goods in the market may be.
Some radical change will have to
be made in connection with this mar.
bet bureau if the interests of the pub.
lie, are to be safeguarded. If the
bureau is going to be used as a
means, of mulcting the consumer il
were better to eliminate it altogether
AS for the producer, for whom the
bureau was created, he must not be
kidly disposed to an institution that
is undoubtedly being operated fol
the benefit of the commission house:
and similar gentry.

The government has acted wisely

The government has acted wisely
in reaching the decision that there
will be no further sales of army sup
plies in Europe. These supplies are
needed over here, and the time has
come for the government to let Eu-
rope look out for itself and turn
its attention to the work of recon
struction at home. 1t would give some
of the big fellows a jolt, but it might
not be going too far if the govern
ment would close down on American
exports to foreign countries for a
few weeks.

"If killed here the bodies must
have been removed because they We're
not found in this room nor in the
house. By removing seven bodies
! from such a room, in midsummer,
when it was hot and sultry and the
members of the family did not wear
heavy clothing, it seems that blood
stains should have been found in
other parts of the house, but none
were found.
1T is stated that the bodies were
burned in the house after the exc
cution This l believe impossible be-
cause none of he stoves in the house
are large enough. The opening tc
each stove is not more than fooI
wide or deep. Still, in one of these
stoves the investigating committee
found military cross which the czar
once wore, corset stays and large
diamond belonging to the czarina. Tat
stove in which these things were
found was in the bedroom of the
cars daughters. This stove was nev-
er used by the Bolshevist guard, and
it is plausible that the czar and car
ina burned these things themselves at
the last hour so that the soviet would
mot find them. The committee failed
to find any traces OF human bodies in
the ashes.
after examining all the evidence
presented by Professor Ipatieff made
an investigation of the testimony that
the czar was taken away and exc
'cuted. The Bolsheviki claim that this
is what happened-that he was exc
cuted outside the city before a firing
squad. But was he? Is it not possible
that he czar was kidnapped after he
left the house, surrounded by only
the three red army soldiers? Consid-
ering all the efforts which were
being made in and about Ekaterin-
burg to save the czar, does it seem
possible that his friends, who were
numerous in this city and watchful,
should permit three soldiers to take
him away? Is it not possible that
some of the disloyal Bolshevist SOL
diers, who were accepting bribes and
transmitting secret messages to and
from the czar, were among that
guard?
81 asked these questions of many
Ekaterinburg citizens. In reply II
received all varieties of answers. The
fact is that no one knows, but all
have their opinions. Professor Ipatieff
thinks the questions are without JUS
tification. The priest thinks that the
car was saved. The nun thinks he
was killed afterward, but the family
saved. The Investigating committee il
divided. The allied consuls don't
know. And still there is the testi-
mony of a. prominent Russian mer-
chant that he saw the czar and his
family in the private office of the rail
road depot master July 20, four days
after the alleged killing.
"Ekaterinburg is divided. Since the
latter part of July, for seven months
the city and surrounding country has
been searched, and no remains of the
bodies, no authentic traces of the
family, have been found. Some day
when it is possible to go into Euro
pean Russia and question other wit
nesses the puzzle may be solved. Nj
cholas II, the former czar of all the
Russians and his family may be dead
They may still live. Who knows?'

The man in Dillon county who has

The man in Dillon county who has
a smoke house full of meat and a
crib full of corn wonders why the
laboring man in the city is kicking
over the high cost of living. The
answer is simple: The laboring man
in the city lives from day to day
from hand to mouth. The price of
his breakfast is fixed before he gets
out of bed and if he doesn't happen
to have the price in his pocket he
goes hungry. When his wife goes to
the corner grocery to purchase the
days supply of rations it is not a
question of how much it is worth,
but how much will you take. The
cash must come before the goods are
delivered, and in many homes the
cash runs out before the Saturday
night pay envelope arrives. These are
the people who have suffered and
they have a right to kick. The man
who lives out of the grocery
store, pays twice as much for what
he gets, and with the average wage
less than "a day it is difficult t.
see how a family of four manages to
live. There will have to be read
justment of food prices and wages.
Until this is done there is bound to BE-
a spirit of unrest among the laboring
classes of the nation.

KNUT ROLAND READY
 TO START CONTRACT

Knut Roland, who recently com pieted a grading contract on the Nenana-Fairbanks line, will leave for the Lignite country on the train tonight to begin work on a grading contract which has been awarded to him on the grade extension beyond the end of steel south of town.
 The contract consists of a little more than a mile and half of grade between Lignite and Dry creek and will involve the employ ment of a considerable force of men and horses. Roland will start in with eight men and seven horses, but plans soon to add three head of stock, and he may have need for more men later.

FAIRBANKS EAGER
 10 ACCEPT OFFER

According to advices received from Fairbanks this afternoon, the ball players and many fans of the upper town are eager to make an- other trip to Nenana to try con- clusions with the railroad town ball team, but it seems doubtful at this time if they will be able to make the necessary arrangements.
 Several members of the Fairbanks team anticipate considerable difficult ty in securing permission to leave their work again this season, and some of the others complain that the practice games take too much of their time, while still others say the trip down the river is too costly
 The challenge of Nenana, how ever, is being considered today by Manager Beam and the members of the Fairbanks team, and it is ex- pected that an agreement will be reached and an answer forwarded to Nenana late today.

SAYS NORTHERN WAYS
 SUIT HIM BEST

Among the arrivals on the steam CT Alaska last night, enroute from the States to Fairbanks, was Sam Thompson, who was engaged in min 1 ing on Vault creek when the war called him to the colors He went Outside with the draft boys and was at Camp Dodge when hostilities came to an end overseas. After getting his release from the army, Thompson found employ ment in the shipyards on Puget |sound, and stayed with the work until thoroughly convinced that he could get ahead in the world faster in Alaska than he could in the States. He couldn't save any money on the pay he received, and there was not a chance to better his con- dition, so he finally decided to come back to Alaska and get into the mining game again.
 Like the many others who have returned to Alaska during the past several months, Thompson says that conditions on the coast are unset tied, prices abnormally high, and the future very uncertain as regards labor, prices, and conditions gener- ally. He confirms earlier reports of shipyards, and says that the men in the yards are looking forward to further curtailment.
 The freedom of the North, with opportunities to make better than wages, appeals more strongly to the Oldtimer than the life Outside, with its many restrictions and constant scramble for living.
 Thompson says he does not know just what he will do when he gets back to Fairbanks, but he hopes to be able to get a lay. Failing that. he probably will go to work for wages until something better shows up.

TROUGH HOUSE
 IS NICKNAME OF
 ADMIRAL ROMAN

SAN FRANCISCO. - When Ad- miral Hugh Rodman first came to the Pacific coast years ago as a junior officer, soon after his gradu- ation from Annapolis, he acquired the sobriquet Rough House" from men and officers of the navy.
 Returning now at the head of half the American navy, he brings a decoration from the king of Eng land which, in that country, would cause him to be addressed as "Sir Hugh," as Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St George.
 Admiral Rodman, throughout his naval career, has been noted as disciplinarian. He got things done," in the words of the navy. Direct methods of getting things done earned the title Rough House." bestowed in affection by his men and brother officers when he was young. Years later the .ame qualities brought him distinc- tion from the British ruler when Rodman was commander of the sixth battle squadron of the Grand fleet during the war with Germany.
 The order of knight conferred on Admiral Rodman was similar to the distinction given Admiral Sims by the British king at the same time, but neither officer could accept be- cause American regulations did not permit members of the military or naval establishments accepting dec orations from foreign nations. Later acceptances were allowed.
 Among naval men Rodman is noted as "mixer" when off duty, but when on duty he is credited

ALASKA BRINGS
 MIXED LOAD FOR
 THE COMMISSION

The passenger steamer Alaska, of the American-Yukon Nacigation company's fleet, reached Nenana at nine o'clock last night, enroute from Dawson to Fairbanks, with pass engers, freight, and second class mail. Nearly all the passengers were booked through to Fairbanks and the bulk of the freight, con- sisting of barge of rails picked up at Hot Springs, will be unloaded at Cinema for use in extending the Gov ernment railroad from Happy Junc- tion south toward Nenana. About twenty tons of mixed freight, mostly provisions, were unloaded at the Commission dock for the commis- sary, and there was some freight also for local merchants. The Alas ka sailed for Fairbanks at midnight, and probably will sail from the upper town on the return voyage tomorrow.
 The list of passengers in transit to Fairbanks included: Mrs. c. E. Bunnell, Jean Bunnell, G. F. Ren- nice, George H. Key, Prof. c. C. Georgeson, Rosebel Achaman, Olaf Olson, R. w. Taylor, Doris Runyan, Sam Thompson, J. P. Ibach, Mrs. Ibach, Charles McGonigle, George Bake, Raoul Erztal.
 Mrs. F. O'Farrell of Panama left the boat here and will remain in Nenana a short time.
 The Alaska made the run up the Panama river from Tolovana in . little over thirteen hours, which is as very good time with heavy tow.

with allowing nothing to interfere with the performance of the task before him. He is without affecta- tion and is declared to dislike be- ing called "Sir Hugh" as un-Ameri- can and to prefer the compliment expressed in Rough House." How ever, now, to his face, he is not called Rough House," although to men under him that is the usual manner, together with ..'the Old Man." in which his personality is referred to, according to those who have served under him.
