Ths Festival fo the Midnight sun Excursion has come and gone and 1t has left its impressions which will last for many years
 The excursion train that left Skag way at five thirty o'clock sharp on Saturday morning carried over 200 happy people who arrived in White horse a little after eleven o'clock after a most pleasant and interest ing ride over the historical trail of "9S' which is followed by the Whie Pass and Yukon Route.
 Early Saturday evening the Al ma arrived from Juneau with about one hundred and fifty eXcurSionists, having taken on about half of that number at Fort Seward and Haines, the larger portion being officers and soldiers.
 The base ball team of the 21st Infantry was there and they had their base ball clothes on and as a result brought back the kale. The |DnLglas ball team also was there.
 Upon their arrival at Whitehorse the excursioniSts were met by the arrangements and reception com mittee and everythin that coulG b done for their comfort and entertah' ment was done and thee vote was uHaniuous that Wbttehorse is the prince of entertaine
 Of course the interest oentered on the base ball games and after lunch the grand stands were quickly filled and the first game which was be- tween the Whitehorse and Fort Se- warG, teams was soon over. Altho the Whitehorsc team was augument- ed by some of the Skagway play ers,s they were clearly outplayed and in seven hard fought innings the result stood II to 0.
 The next and deciding game was then played between Douglas and Fort Seward and was as pret- ty an exhibition of ball playing as has been seen for many years.
 The score stood 3 to at the end of the seventh inning and gave the Soldier boys first money $1OO.OC while the Douglas boys got the second prize, $50.O0.
 During the first game, Crede Bcnebrake, who was playing with the Whitehorse am, met with quite a serious accident.
 While standing at the bench wait ing his turn to bat, one of the play CTS let his bat slip, which struck Bones" on the chin, cutting his l lip and jarring several of his t-eth loose.
 Dr. Clark took several stitches in the cut and, after a little rest Crede was up and around again.
 The dance saturday night Was a fittin ending for a splendid day and was enjoyed by very large crowd. The music was furnished by the Skagway Band and also by Professor Oscar Selmer anG' Miss Deyo Puckett with violin and piano
 A train left Whitehorse at seven thirty Saturday night and brought back about sixty of those who did not care to remain. The balance came on the train which arrived in Skagway at three thirty o'clock in the afternoon.

 An understanding of our institutions depends upon study of them in the English language. This country is not a .polygiot boarding house." as Colonel Roosevelt phrased it, and the sooner that fact is driven home in the Am

 Man is a reasoning being, more or less, except in the matter of straw hats after Sept. 15. Then, no matter how high the temperature. he jams hot. unventilated derby or soft hat over his seat of thought and suffers
  finger or ridicule which would be pointed at him if he dared to do such a sensible thing as wear cool straw hat. For few days after the middle of September. it is true that a few hardy males of strongly individualistic character persist in wearing their straws but before the first of October not straw hat is seen--Waterbury Republican.
 Newspa pers the country over have carried the reports from Hartford that police court convictions for drunken ness have increased in that fair city since prohibition.
 The New York World bland1y states that Connecticut is the .driest'' of New England states, disregarding the fact that this state was one of the three which opposed the amendment.
 Some rabid papers refer to this Hartford record and solemnly bark about the Prohibitionists having "ef- fected the legal suppression of al- cohol.'

 By the fall of 1915 it had become evident that the war must be won not only by the mobilization of armies but by the mobilization Of industries that could produce steel. other met ties, and as coke is essential to steel making and it's by-products are essen tial to the manufacture of explosives the coke making industry at once came to the front and became cent ei of intense interest, The foreign de- nand for munitions had become So great at the beginning of 1916 that the quantity of coke produced made a new record. but during the fall or that year the output was eOnsiderab biy re- strained by the congestion of traffic on the railroads. The difficulties tha, had to be overcome in producing md marketing fuels after the United States entered the war and. .i,e means adopted to overcome tilen have now become matters of history

soLsHEvtki SLIPPING.

There are signs that point quite
 strongly to the fact that the days of he bolshevik government in Russia are
 numbered but it is never safe to reach any definite conclusion regarding that
 country until the fact is pretty thor ougfiy established. There have been times before when Lenine and Trotziy were said to be throwing up their hands, to have left the counry or to be f1eeing but they are still on the
 job although rdmor has it that they arc ready to step down and out after an experience in wreckirlg a country which will stand for long time in the worlds history.
 Magnificent gains have been made by General Denikine's forces in his march on Moscow and tine government there is said to be on the point of moving but in addition to the military successes that are being pied up against the bo1sheyiiki are the evil dences of unrest within bofsheyik Russia itself. Those who have been true to the soviet government because they believed in it or were forced to the life are getting tired of their .ex- perience. They sre turning upon their cppressors and removing them by bombs and other methods which shows the desperate situation that prevails. All the bloodshed is not be- ing caused by the authorized execu- tioner.
 Thus with the Lenine Trotzky gov erfment losing it's grip within and suf- fering reverses on the field of battle that cannot fail to seriously affect the morale of the armies it can be appre- ciated that seeing the handwriting on the wall Lenine is willing to negotiate peace and quit as Germany did with a whole skin. Perhaps better evidence ought to bc required but unless the bolsheviki are able to show a ra1lying power which iI is not believed they Iossess indications seem most favor a l,le for the day when the anti-bol shevik leaders will have a chance to get together for the ablishment of a sane and sound government

asleep? Where has the legal suppress sion of alcohol been effected? Tn any large city and most small ones the saloon is still operating and something IS sold over the bar that is mighty near the old time stuff.
 The Hartford record or any other similar record simply means that the local police have not closed the saloons, nor the saloon men abiced by a Fed erai law.-Bridgeport Standard Teie- gram.
 Massachusetts affords some enter taining and instructive well as Sen sa ticnal incidents of late. The sur prIsing. revolutionary strike of Boston policemen was offset by the sturdy courage of Commissioner Curtis and Governor Coolidge. Then came the republican and denocra tic state con ventions the republicans virtually en- dorsing the League of Nations and of course sustaining the able governor. The deYnocra tc condoned the coEa rd = ly conduct of the police and kicked the League of Nations. Senator Walsh comes out openly as an antagonist of the league while District Attorney with such a feprehensive platform as was adopted So the demoefatic ma chine in the Bay State has blown up several tires and is virtually out of the race. To add to this pecaliar and unusual mixup the Springfield Re- publican makes an effort to apofogize for the l. W. W. and excuse it's un p,-incipaed and seditious and often openly criminal propaganda. Truly Massachusetts is state of many emotions.-Bristol Press. @..se.,,sz. v.

 Almost unimaginable suffering ill., ness and gEeat loss of life has attend ed the hurried evacuation of vast ter ritory west of Omsl owing to the re- cent advance of the bolShevik armies Refugees from the territory menaced by bolsheviki invasion were nerded in to box cars with the wounded and i'll from the fighting front and started eastward into Siberia with pitiful lack ef doctors and nurses.
 Conditions prevailing at KouIom zinc. a station across the river from Omsk probably are typical of dozens of other places along the Siberian railway as far east as krasnoyarsk.
 In this auxiliary freight yard at KouIonnzino. The Associated Press correspondent saw trainloads of i'll and wounded men wasted with dysen- tary, typhus and typhoid. lying on coats or blankets. too weak to move There were men with wounds that had not been dressed for days and whose bodies were so ,shrunken from cisease and lack of food that they resempled living skeletons or rather dying skeletons.
 Tn some instances the dead had lain for days in the midst of the living and dying who were so duHed by suffer ing as not to know or care.
 Among these refugees the inter-al- lied anti-typfus train in charge of Captain Conner of the American Red Cross and Miss Annie L. Williams of the Red Cross refugee section, endea- vored to give temporary aid. Owing to the evacuation of the Red Cross personnel on orders of Ambassador Roland S. Morris. of Tolxio, Miss Will Hams had little aid in distribution of medical supplies and clothing furnish ed by the Red Cross

What seefAs to be atfanEe atti- tude is that taken sby Director Gen. eral Hines of the sfailfoad as1safAlstrA :
 ton. w!aen he notifies the railroads
 that he will not be able to make the
 necessary ad5ust1hesits In freight rates
 to enable the cotnpanies to be self sus-
 taining and that thus the companies
 must bring the matter before the in-
 terstate commerce Commission in or
 der to seft1el this point.
 When the froaas were taken over it
 was agreed that they should De re- turned to the ownefs u1ffhpafrsd Al- though the raiiroans of the eosi11ffy had previ6usIy been seeking better rates in order to improve the service and increase their rolling stock they coaTd not get them. Yet just as soon as the government took control it boosted both passenger and Freight rates and did just what the fafiroeds themselves had been seeking perfnis- sion to do but were denied.
 Unless a change is made the rail roads are to be turned back to the owners at the en1 of this year. New railroad legislation is underway for the control of the lines Of the couf, try but it has not been enacted Whether it will be before the first of the year is uncertain though it cer- tainIy should be unless a change is made ir the date of return.
 But if the government has found it necessary to maintain the rates that are charged at the present time, and has so Elorioasly failed to make a success of the operation of the roads from a financial Standpoint, it is per fectly evident if the government is going to be fair to the owners in re- turning to them their property that it should provide rates that will produce a fair return. Unless it does that it can hardly be said that it is returning the property unimpaired. When the turnover comes tIley should be ready 10 do business without Interruption md certainly they ought not to be ex i pecred to go back to the unjust re- 1 st rict ions before the war.
