BUYING AND SELLING.

The experience of the war de- partment in selling the surplus army foodstuffs throws an interesting lit, tie sidelight on the cost of living, with special reference to the meat packers, points out the Tacoma News Tribune.
 The department tried to dispose of 143,000,000 pounds of canned and cured meats by the usual pro- cess of sealed bids. It was obliged to reject all the bids because they were ruinously low. The highest prices offered for bacon and other staples were about 50 per cent of what the Government had paid for them.
 Nearly all of the 86 bids received were submitted by the packers them selves. They completely dominated the bidding in the number of offers and in the quantity of goods they themselves had sold the Govern ment.
 It is indeed an Illuminating com mentary on the packing industry, it: war profits and it's present relation to the cost of living when, seekin. to buy up those army supplies r order to keep them from being solo in competition with their presen output, the best the packers fee able to offer is half as much a: they received for those same good Ia few months ago.
 Is that what the stuff is reall! worth? And is the public now pay ing the packers twice as much al their product is worth?

TANK SOLDIERS NOT
 COMING HOME BROKE

BREST. - American doughboys sailing from Brest are not return ing home without money, despite the high cost of living in France.
 In three days the camp finance officer at Brest exchanged S,233, ,4O1 francs into American dollars for homeward- bound Yankees. Thirty thousand returning soldiers and of ficers carried back to the United States S1,372,233 on board the transports during the three days. The rate of exchange allowed them was six francs fiat.

Somewhat Sloping.

A farmer visiting the commission. CTS of Pennsylvania county to have his tax valuation reduced, pleading that his land was so hilly as to be almost mountain land, was asked if the land was pretty steep.
 'If you could see my land," an swered the farmer earnestly, "you would reduce the valuation some more. Why, it is so steep we have to put rough-lock on the harrow"

Nenana, Aug. 19. 19l!

Nenana, Aug. 19, 1919.
 Editor Nenana News-Sir: In the Alaska Citizen under date of August 9th there appears criticism of my letter and poem submitted to MT. J. H. Caskey. While MT. Caskey acknowledged the receipt of one dollar, and in his public statement mentioned that it was to be applied, at my request, on freight charges to return my poems, he fails to re- turn the balance of that dollar. and used only four cents of it in post age on return of poems. He used my poem entitled "The Dempsey Willard Prize Fight" He sent me receipt for the balance, 96 cents, but informed me he had applied same on a continuance of my sub, scription (which, by the way, was paid in advance until November 9th, 1919, and I hold receipt therefor. Now, I appreciate his paper less than he does my poems. Why did Mir. Caskey print the poem, which, by the way, was gratis, and keep 96 cents of the dollar, if it was as bad as he said?
 I did not ask for extension of my subscription, nor expect my money to be so applied.
 The poem speaks for itself, his criticism notwithstanding.

TOO MUCH DELAY.

Chairman Curry, of the house committee on territories, hit the nail on the head yesterday when he in- formed Congress that piecemeal ap- propriations delay the work on the Government railroad in Alaska. But for this piecemeal policy in the past, we probably would have railroad by this time. In any event, ample funds would have enabled the com mission to make purchases of sup plies and equipment at time when prices were low, instead of buying them from season to season, and each time at considerably in- creased price.
 Work in the past has been ham, pered fully as much by congressional short-sightedness as by incompetent management, and now that a man has been placed at the head of the commission who has won distinction as a railroad builder and manager in France, he should have the funds necessary to do the work as 1t should be done.
 If Congress will give Chairman Mears, in lump sum, as urged by Representative Curry, enough money to carry out the plans of the com mission, we will venture the predic tion that the railroad will be com pleted long before December, 1922. If he cannot finish the job in half the time, it will prove surprise to those who have read of his achieve ments overseas.
 But neither Colonel Mears nor any other railroad builder, however clever, can make much of a showing if Congress continues the policy of piecemeal appropriations. That kind of business is waste of time at Washington and a source of need less delay and expense to the Gov ernment in Alaska. The piecemeal plan has been tried, both at Panama and in Alaska, and it has not worked satisfactorily. What we want now is results, and the only way to get them is to have sufficient money available at all times to insure a steady flow of railroad material to, ward the North and keep a force of workers on the job, large enough and steady enough to do the work as it should be done.
 Interior Alaska wants railroad must have railroad-and it i; the sincere hope of every Northern CT whose opportunity to get ahead is being held up by lack of under standing at Washington, that Rep resentative Curry will be able tc convince Congress of the importance of acting promptly in the matter o' providing funds-ample funds-tt continue railroad construction.

URGES FIVE-DAY WEEK
PLAN TO AID SABBATH
CLOSING.

Cleveland, GA nationwide
movement by the United Synagog of
America for a fve-day week, with a
nine-hour Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, and an eight-hour
Thursday and Friday, was proposed
by Rabbi Louis Feinberg of Cincin-
natl at the Midwest Conference of
the United Synagog of America
Sunday, as solution of the problem
of Sabbath closing of business. In
the opinion of Rabbi Feinberg, the
problem must, be attacked at the
centers of industry. Under his plan,
it was pointed out, the usual hour
week would be provided and the
manufacturer would be saved the ex-
pense of heating his plant for the
short period on Saturday morning.
The Conference, which took place
in Cleveland at B'nai Jeshurun Tenn
pie, was also marked by the adop-
ton of number of important reso-
1utions. The body pledged it's
hearty support to the resolutions of
the American Jewish Congress in
Philadelphia with reference to Pal
estine and the Diaspora and also en-
dorsed the work of President Will
son in furthering the establishment
of League of Nations.

THE TEMPLE BANQUET,

The Temple banquet to be held

Mr.. Irving Robitshek and his COM

are maintaining the utmost secrecy
regarding some of the special fea
lures of the occasion. 1t is under
stood, however, that some genuine
surprises are in store for the ban
queters.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

American eWry were treated by
Jewish leaders of national promi-
nence in papers read at the Confer
ence. The Conference opened with
the singing of America" by the en-
tire assembly and was followed by
the "Mah Tovoh" rendered by Can
tor and his choir.
Rabbi Louis Feinberg, speaking
on Religious Observance" divided
his subject into three parts namely,
the Sabbath, Kashruth, and the
dearth of cantors, schochtim, etc.
In the matter of Kashruth, he
stated, that the United Synagog
ought to unite in each locality its
members among the congregations,
pay man to watch the slaughter
houses, thereby relieving the indi-
vidual congregation and standard
izing the work.
DR.. Elias L. Solomon of New
York city, president of the United
Synagog, on taking the chair, told
of the beginning of the United Syna-
cog. He paid tribute to the memory
of the late DR.. Schechter, founder
of the institution, and told of the TN
DERIVING principles upon which the
institution was founded. The essen
tials of Orthodoxy, Conservatism
and Reform in Judaism are the
same, he said, and while we quarrel
about the petty things, our children
are getting away from us. "Ameri-
can youth" he said, els not lost to
Judaism; it is by nature religious,
but is repealed from the synagog by
disorder in the synagog. Give them
the right teachers and the tradition
al service, a di gnifed and decorous
service. A service that is formal
and lacking in spirit will not save
Judaism. The United Synagog
wants to strengthen Judaism. The
cause is greater than the individuals
and congregations, and we must
permit no petty notions to keep us
asunder."
"The Jewish Youth" was the title
for the discourse presented by Rab-
bi Jacob Gitte1man of Louisville,
KY. The young men and young
women, he said, present special
problem, as they are not usually
amenab1e to education in the ordi-
nary sense of the word. He sug-
gested that young men and women
be brought to services bv brinoing

WHAT SOUTHERN WHITE MEN THINK OF SOUTHERN
WHITE WOMEN

You did not wait for woman suffrage" the late Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw argued to the men of the South
but disfranchsed both your black and white women.
thus making them politically equal This she said in
answer to the men Of Louisiana when she was asked to
answer from New Orleans platform the following OBJ
lection to giving the the vote IF you give the
ballot to women, won't you make the black and white
women equal politically and therefore lay the foundation
for future claim of social eQuality?"
If political equality the of social equality and
by granting political equality you lay the foundation
for claim of social equality you already laid that
claim" was her But you done more than
that You have the ballot the hands of your
black men, thus making them the political superiors of
your white Never before in the history of the
world have made the political masters
of their former mistresses
The women in the South are not alone in their humil-
ation-al women in America share it with them There
is no other nation in the world which women hold the
position Of political degradation our American women
hold today. German governed by German men;
French women by French men, But in these
United States American are governed by every
race Of men under the light of the sun. There is not
color from white to black, from red to yellow there is
not nation from pole to poe that not send its con-
tingent to govern American women.
II American men are willing to leave their women
in position degrading this they need not be sur
prised when American resolve to lift themselves
out Of it."
