WHO Is TO BLAME?

According to the chief statistician
of the chamber of the United States,
there is not the slightest reason under
the sun" for the continuation of the
present high prices. He says that
if the law of supply and demand
We're given freedom of operation,
the decline would go on until Il nor
NAL level was reached.
If this statistician is correct, the
American people have the right to
rise to inquire who is responsible for
this artificial boosting of the necenai-
ties of life.
The retailer blames the wholesaler;
the wholesaler blames the producer;
the producer blames Europe's recon
struction needs.
In the meanwhile, Cock Robin
namely, the American consumer
is paying prices that experts are
saying he should not have to pay.

NOT A THIRD TERM

We are informed in cautious terms words with the care of diplomat that Mir. Wilson will not run for third term as president. At that dinner of his recently when the President bal anced the fate of tho world on a French fried potato, so to speak, he almost intimated that he did not in tend to accept a third nomination.
 'It has been known for some time that the President did not contem- plate breaking the tradition dating from the time of Washington, that a President should serve no more than two terms"
 Now that the President has taken us into his confidence we shall take him into ours. It has been known for some time all over the country that tho people did not contemplate letting the President serve more than two terms: We tell this little secret that the people are so unanimously in ac- cord with his latest decision. They approve it from the ground up.
 The President has been wavering on this subject for a long time. His jealous friends began to groom him for a third term as soon as the United States entered the war. We give them credit for being entirely patriotic in their motives. They argued that here was the only man in national of 110,- 000,O00 people who knew enough to hold the office of executive in the ccuntry's greatest crisis since the Civil war. For nearly two years the President has been of the same view, but now that he has given the matter careful consideration he is willing to entrust the country to someone else, if the people are. And, as we have said, they are,

Read what an American cor. respondent writes about one of our boys who had been doing his duty: "In a little field hospital west of Montdidier stopped at the bedside of an American boy, one of those victims of the German mustard gas, with which the HuAs are making all their present gains. His eyes were matted with yellow pus and ne could not see. His face was terribly burned. His lips were swollen and purple.

UNWISE AGITATION

Crazed with disappointment over his failure to be elected as delegate from Alaska, James Wickersham has again placed in motion those Obstruc- tive tactics for which he has become famous. Instead of doing all in his power to further any project which will add to the population of the ter ritory and make for it's betterment, he has allowed his better Judgment to be swayed by an insane desire for revenge on those whom he believes responsible for his defeat. The ques- tion of whether Alaska needs the rail- road constructed as quickly as possi- ble and that nothing should be done to tie the hands of those responsible enter into his calculations. Backed by the Ballaine- Heron combination he has started a fight which threatens to undo all the great work Secretary Lane has accomplished. Just why the construction of railroad in the terri tory should be made a matter of po1it ical activity is hard to see. It would look as if any party or person who would throw millions of dollars into public service would be regarded as beneficiary instead of an active enemy. This opposition, which has met every endeavor of outside capital to develop the territory. has held it back half century. Until our citizeQk learn to welcome without criticism those who are willing to spend their money freely in developing our natural resources, if will always be hampered in develop ment It is matter of grave concern to all persons interested in the future development of the country to see the hostility manifested toward maghif,- cent gift generously donated by the government. The question of misman- asement and incompetency should not De entertained for a moment The cost Of the road has been excessive put not out of proportion to the cost or other things in the territory. Our cltlzens have always paid from one to two hundred per cent more for what they got than if they had resided m the States. If the railroad costs one hundred millions more than the original estimate it should not occa sion this unwise agitation which may yet cause operations to be suspended pending an investigation.
 The time has come when A1askans must judge people by their works MT. Wickersham has been fighting Alaska's battles for many years. He has incidentally mixed a few scrans or his own in with ours He has ac- compl1shed nothing and has made enc. mes of former friends of the terri. | tory. Secretary Lane has been fight ing for Alaska for many years, and incidentally fighting the delegates op- position to everything not introduced by himself. The secretary has been instrumental in causing the expendi- ture of many million dollars in the territory.
