Meanwhile, Santa Clause will be making his way over the snow from the Naas divide, stopping enroute at the Big Missouri Forty Nine, Joker, Bush, New Alaska and Premier mines to drop word of good cheer. Then he will give Hyder the once over and take the trail for Stewart where he will go at once to the Salmon River Trading Co. Store and thaw out beside the big stove.

1t is estimated that there arc six
and one-half billions Of gasoline under
ground in the United States and that
this supply will I've exhausted in about
twenty years OF course, the esti-
matters don't know a thing about it.
There may I've ten times that amount
of gasoline in the bowels of the earth
owned by your good old Uncle Samuel
and there may not beohalf as much.
At any rate, it is well that men of
genius ami resources are looking for
II substitute for gasoline and everybody
is hoping they will find it. There was
some hope when the denatured alco-
hol law was enacted that alcohol
would be used extensively for fuel
and power purposes. but that hope has
not been realized. 1t is more than
likely that if some substitute for gaso-
line were discovered by some chemist
the Standard Oil company would get
possession of the patents and control

According to reports from Paris
the American commissioners at the
peace conference are showing a dis
position to pay some heed to the oppo-
sition to the tentative league constitu-
ton in this country and it is now re-
ported that some important changes
will be made. The text of the
speeches Of Senator Lodge and Knox
and the main points of the recent de-
bate between Senator Lodge and DIR.
Lowell are being gone over in shaping
these changes" says Paris dispatch.
This is a good omen. IT the American
delegates really want to meet the just
demands of the United States senate
the constitution will no doubt he rati-
fed in short order. The people OF this
country want league of nations or
sanized and the senate also wants one.
This being the real situation few
differences as to details should not be
permitted to defeat or delay the ell
tire plan.

There seems to be a widespread dis
position among workmen and employ
ers in this country to get better un-
derstanding of the viewpoint OF each
other. Most of the trouble between
labor and capital is due to misunder-
standings and Discrimination to find out
the exact truth as understood by botl
sides Ii workmcn and employers
would talk over their difference freely
and dispassionately many serious
clashes would he avoided. 1t is a good
omen OF. the times that there is more
and more disposition manifest to dc
this thar ever before. Labor ant
capital are dependent upon each Other
for the maximum amount of prosper
ity and that fact ought to be realized
and admitted by everybody interested
in the welfare OF both.

Just what the reported revolution in
Hungary means cannot be fathomed at
this time. 1t may be only a ruse work
ed by Germany to secure better terms
from tie allies. or it may be genuine.
Hungary cannot carry on much of
war. She has no large munitions fac
tories and it would be exceedingly diff
ticult for her to equip and provision
large army. The Danube country has
been a breeding place for years for
false stories of sensational character,
and is responsible for much OF the
trouble of the Balkan states for CEN
turtles. The revolution may be serious
for the allies, but the chances are it
is largely exaggerated in Importance
and will dissipate of its own weight be-
fore many days

Up to this time there has been no
evidence in the Harding Rathbun par
don case to Indicate that the governor
was corrupt in the part he took. That
he made fool of himself is admitted
by everybody. but nobody, except those
who want to believe it, thinks he was
paid money for the pardon Even If
he were dishonest enough to do such a
thing. he is too wise and crafty to lay
himself wide open to assaults that
could not be defended in any manner.
The governor himself admits he
made mistake in granting the pardon,
but maintains that he received no mon
ey consideration. A large ma jority of
the people of the state will not believe
him guilty of accepting IA bride unless
there is stronger evidence introduced
to prove it than there has yet been. No
doubt Attorney Clark got the S-.750 for
getting the pardon. but that is no indi-
cation that the governor ever saw any

France is alarmed over the delays
of the peace conference. France has
been in favor from the start of making
peace treaties with Germany and it
now looks as though France has been
absolutely right i'll this attitude. The

WHAT OF THE LAW?

1t would help lot if the admins
tration would take out the old Sherman
antitrust law, brush off the cobwebs
that have accumulated upon it since
President Wilson was first inaugural
ed, and put it to work. There is no pre-
tense of enforcing this law or of doing
anything to curb the trusts. Only last
week the steel men met in Washington
and fixed the price of steel. True. they
reduced it, but they fixed it just the
same, as they have been fixing prices
ever since the fourth of March. 1913.
Democratic platforms have been out
spoken against this sort of thing and
democratic spell binders. including
Woodrow Wilson, have rallied against
it, but now that the democratic party
is in power, absolutely nothing is done
to prevent trusts and combinations
charging whatever they see fit. Some
excuse the president OH the ground that
he has so much to attend to that nc
cannot attend to the trusts. But that
is no excuse. All Ire would have to y,
would be to give the department OF
justice to understand that the laws
against trusts and combinations in res
traint of trade must be enforced. Thcl
if the department Of justice failed to
function. put new men in charge ct tic

probably responsible. This is the Sec
