FOR SELF-INTERE.ST

If for no other reason, the United States senate should out of pure sel1-lnterest spced- fly ratify the treaty including the league of nations. Ii the covenant Ot the league ot na- tionS Is rejected or so reserved as proposed, the United States faces situation that re qures the establishment of an immense army and the necessity of continuing the consruc- tion of naval vessels on a scale which even wartime shpbuilding cannot equal.
 Former Ambassador to Turkey, Henry Nlorgenthau, recently returning to Paris from a mission to Poand warns the world that sooner or later, in a few years, comparatively speaking. Germany, which has emerged from the war dynamo ot human strength schoolcd and hardened, IS going to resort to arms to win back her lost territory, European and in other countries. Does anyone doubt for a minutes that once Germany, coming back, if successful in a European war, would hesitate to try conclusions with America. In fact the reappearance of German armies on French battlefelds would enforce America to step into the conflict
 Only in the league of nations is there any promise of future peace. No other avenue of escape from warfare has been opened up. Sec retary of War Baker declared yesterday to the house military committee that the peace army of 5OO,OOO men would be only child's play if the league is not formed. It is either the league or balance of power scheme Under the former it will be possible to limit arma- ments and reduce the possibilities of war, un- der the latter only national bankruptcy can set the limit and every vessel added to the fleets, every additional army division, in Creases the chances for combat.

LABOR'S OBJECTION

The strenuous objections raised by Mr. Gompers, Chief Stone, of the engineers brotherhood, and the railway unions Coun- sel MT. Plmub, to the reorganization railway bill proposed by Senator Cummins cannot be said to be unexpected When it first became known that an effort would be made to legls- late out of existence the right of these work CTS to strike, 1t was accepted generally as foregone conclusion that labOrites all over the country would join in condemnation of the plan
 For two main reasons union labor can not accept the idea. First, out of sympathy with the railroad labor unions they must Op pose it, since under the former system of rail- the only weapon left the worker with which he might secure hearing. If congress takes it away from him, it should at the same time put some restriction on the employers to safe guard the interests of the employees. The second reason for union opposition lies in the fact that if congress can legislate away from railway workers the right to strike, it can extend such leg slaton to cover any other class of labor which happens to be connected with what is termed public utilities This would open wide field for future anti-strike legislation and aborites generally see the dan ger which lies ahead.
 MT. Gompers' statement that he would advise the workers not to pay any attention to an anti-strike law may be taken seriously. Nor would he be alone in his attitude. Hun dreds of other labor leaders would unite with him. And the workers would probably be guided by that advice.
 A general strike of railroad workers turnout the country would be serious mat ter. It would vitally affect the lives of mil lions of people and be menace to the very government itself The wisdom of leaving such power in the hands of any class of men is questionable. Selfishness is sure to creep in sooner or later to the disadvantage of the

C0CHILL BACK
 FROM ENGLAND
NENANA MERCHANT RETURNS WITH BRIDE FROM THE OLD
 COUNTRY AFTER A TRIP.

w. A. Coghill of Nenana arrived home on the last boat from the Out side, bringing with him a bride from England Mr. Coghill left Nenana in March, going straight to his old home in England where he was married, Mrs. Coghill being his boyhOod sweet heart.
 Mr and Mrs. Coghill had a very slow trip back from the old country, accommodations being hard to obtain on the transatlantic boats. The couple visited in New York several days with Carl Fleischman, a former Fairbanks boy, and then came to the coast where they spent a week in renewing old friendships with Alaskans who have moved to that section. They finally hit the trail for home, and Coggy says he is with Nenana for all time from now on.

IMPORTED FOOD
 IN ABUNDANCE
 BEING ASSURED

YORK, Eng - Associated Press CorrespondenCe)- e)-Abundance of i'm ported meat. bacon. cheese, marga- rine. rice, tea, sugar and apples is assured the people of Great Britain the coming winter by the authorities but home grown products such a. milk. meat, butter and dried fruits It is said, will be scarce and costly
 Meanwhile the government food control will continue in order that rich and poor alike may share in the available supplies. Nothing like the hardships endured during the last two years of the war is anticipated because the government supervision and distribution will not be so rigor- ous as when Haig's army had it's back to the wall"
 The expense of feeding and fat tening cattle is the factor that will make home grown meat scarce. Hay and oat crops are abnormally short, ' the country are almost a failure Cattle "cake," which will have to be used more freely, is more expensive than last year.
 The same considerations apply to milk The price for August was fixed at 68 cents per gallon to the dairyman, and for September at 15 cents. Last winter it was 20 cents quart. but higher prices are cX- pected the coming winter
 There is plenty of tea in the Coun- try but transportation systems are so out of joint, dealers say, it will cost more to handle and distribute it. Bacon prices are rising in Amer ica, which makes the British price. Port and dock delays, due to strikes and the general apathy of labor, con tribute to higher prices.
 Nobody is worrying about sugar except as to price. The sugar com mission has been very active in the general market and has obtained enough to last the country until the end of the year at prices which, it is declared. are little below the average of Europe, but, of course, much higher than the American price If the commission had to go into the market now it would be compelled to pay as much for sugar as the present retail price, and as it will likely have to do that early next year the consumer expects to pay more.
 Apples are high and scarce, the controlled price being IS cents a pound It is expected, however, that the fine crop here in England will serve to reduce this price materially before the winter comes.
 Bakers and the government expect an increase in the cost of bread. There are abundant wheat supplies in Australia and the Argentine, but the scarcity of shipping makes i'm mediate delivery impossible. So Eng land must depend on the United States and Canada which, the au thOrites say, means costlier loaVeS.

railroad workers are but fractional part.
 In its solution, therefore, congress must be guided by what is for the best interests of the country as a whole The owners of the properties have certain rights which must be respected The workers on the other hand, must not be left unprotected and at the mercy of their employers. Any settlement which does not provide for these three things is ccr- tain to be a failure and produce trouble speedily.

A BOOK YOU OUGHT TO OWN
By. Dr. Frank Crane )

As l have said before, there are some book you should borrow, skim, and return; some you should read once tnd give away and others very few, you ought to buy, to own, to keep and to read over and over
 In this last class is little book called "'Hhe League of Nations" written by Henry r. Jackson.
 It is concise, simple, and authoritative statement of the facts i'll regard to the ,caguc.
 It is not partisan, passionate, nor at all eNtravagant.
 During the coming months the Icaguc of Nations will be the most important top, before the American public and the whole world.
 You want to have all intelligent opinion of it. You cannot have such an opinion un- less you know what you are talking about.
 You want to know what the exact words of the ,eague are This book gives them.
 You want it explained in simple language Here you will find clear explanation
 You want to know just what the Prcsi- dent of the United States and the other men who drew up the League have to say about it. This is here stated.
 Every town in this country ought to have meetings at which this League may be dis Cussed.
 The Senate is now debating upon it, but more necessary than the opinion of the Senate is the opinion of the whole American public This is Government by Public Opinion

 Mazzini said, "The morrow of victory is more perilous than its eve.' We are now in the crucial days of sharp contention following a successful war We should not make mis- take
 The Common Sense of the American peo- pie will by and by make itself felt on this question, which is far and away more vital than any issue ever before us. Make up your mind, and use facts, not feelings.
 The Executive has done his part He has made the Treaty, as was his duty under the Constitution. It is now up to the People to ratfv, modify, or reject what he has done.
 It is very much now as incon stated the case in his time, in his homely and striking language He said:

As an exemplary character, Andrew Car negie ranked high His keen intellect made him master of opportunity. To him is attri- buted the use of the telegraph on the railway, whereby the single rail and siding could be used for trains coming in opposite directions He introduced the BeSsemer process m the making of steel rails in the United States, an idea which he got during visit to England His achievements alone have formed the basis for several books. For the methods he en- ployed in amassing his great fortune, he has been criticized time and again, but much of this criticism has been founded on wrong premises All his wealth was not of his own seeking The bulk of it came to him as the result of system that is gradually disappear ing under the eveling process now going on between capital and labor His vision of a better day is coming, and with 1t the unity of capital, labor, and business ability, which he was fond of likening to three-legged stool.
 Of course it is none of our business, but sometimes it looks like the camsole is being reduced to a string.
