Luke McLuke Says

Anyway a thin girl has the con solation of knowing that only lit tie of it has to show on the outside
 If a woman sees an article adver- tised for 10 cents in a store down town, and she can buy the same article for 12 cents one square from her home, she saves money by pay ing carfare both ways and going down town to get the article for 10 cents.
 There isn't much. of a chance for man to shine in society when the seat of his pants are shiny.
 Marriage may be a failure. But don't let that worry you. It isn't any more of failure than remaining single.
 When woman is fearing to smoke cigarettes she makes herself sick And after she has learned to smoke hem she makes other people sick.
 A man couldn't attract much of a crowd by discussing the question: ITO Whither Are We Drifting?" But he is always sure of an enthusias- lie audience when he discusses the question:: fWhatll Ye Have?
 No, Rollo, a smart man isn't a man who never makes mistakes. A smart man is one who learns something every time he makes a mistake.
 Poor men are always trying to give you the impression that they are wealthy. And wealthy men are always trying to give you the i'm pression that they are poor.
 If a man rests his elbows on the table when he is eating with his wife in a public dining room you can bet that he is the boss of the family.

A GERMAN THREAT.

Prof Hans Debrueck has been interviewed again and this time the world that the terms Of Ieace must be made too hard, for if they are the Germans will take the first opportunity to rise and plunge the world into another war
 There is, of course, limit to the weight of the burden that is be placed the shoulders of the Germans, but do not think the danger that at some distant date the Germans may show fight is a factor that sets the limit. Germany is whipped now, and whether the general League of Nations is formed not. there will be league of nations to enforce the peace terms It will be a league which the Germans cannot hope to resist
 The real limiting factor is the ability of the Germans to do justice under compusion. Some Ger mans seem think that President Wilson will be in favor of letting Germany off at something less than that, but there is for thinking that his Scotch conscience will be any softer than the stern demands of the occasion which brought Ger many to the judgment seat of the nations.

NEEDS EASTERN STATES
 ARE GIVEN OUT

WASHINGTON, March 5.-It will take approximately $500,000000 ex- pended in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Isl. and and New York to make up the building deficit incident to the war. This construction work must be in addition to the normal, current re. quirements of 1919.
 The Information and Education Service of the U. s. Department of Labor has issued the results of a study of building needs in these six States, made by the Economies Sec tion of the Division of Public Works and Construction Development. Tax ing the building permits issued in 1914, 1915 and 1916 to obtain an average representative of the normal years requirements and comparing this average with the permits actual ly issued during the war years of 1917 and 1919, the Information and Education Service establishes the ac- tual reductions in buildings in twenty one cities.

Borah's Attitude.
(St. Louis Republic,)


 Nobody has accused Senator Borah Of worship ping the golden calf, but he now lays himself open to the charge of having bowed down in worship to the cast-ron mule
 The declaration which the Senator makes Tn ms etter Secretary Tumulty is that he Will not at tend a conference at the White House for the pur- posce of hearing what the President has to say about the constitution of the League of Nations, ard that having shut his ears to the best-informed ;ource in world that question, he will never -oe to ratify the treaty which is to contain the constitution of the league.
 The Senator gives for refusing to meet tbe President It is that meetings at the White House are understood to be confidential and that he does not wish to hear any information or gam any knowledge about the proposed league which he is not at liberty discuss publicly.
 The Senator attends executive sessions or the Senate and secret meetings of the Committee on Foreign Relations but this secret meeting at the White House will not attend because it is secret
 As if not quite satisled with this explanation the Senator gives what appears to be an explanation of the explanation in these words:
 ''In writing this note and in taking this course mean no personal disrespect or disregard to the President I simply find myself in such disagreement with him, to feel intensely concerning the mat ter that I cannot do other than inform him of the fact"
 That is to say, the Senator has made up his mind ness of his conclusions that he has decided not to listen
 Pure mulishness is the only word for it.

JUDGE JENNINGS AFFIRMED AGAIN.

The decision of the United States Supreme Court on the Alaska fisheries is another affirmation tor Judge Robert w. Jennings of the United States District Court for the First Division. Upon Judge Jennings hes devoved the duty to construe the Ter ritorial Organic Act and blaze the legal path the establishment of local government under it. This work has fallen Judge Jennings because his court is located the capital. In this work, the higher courts have affirmed every decision that he has dered from which appeals have been taken.
 And this recalls that of more than two score cases that have been appealed from Judge Jennings court, his reversals could be numbered the fingers q one hand.

MONEY TO BURN.

One of the elementc in the Russian situation that points to the eventual Jownfcll of Trotzky and Lenine is the desperate situation into which they have brought Russian finances. A witness before Senate committaee told the Senators that a cord of wood now costs the freezing people Petrograd $2,4OO; potatoes worth than a dollar each, eggs cost about $250 and tea is $50 pound.
 Of course this is printing press money. Wood is Lot scare in Russia, which has large national re- sources in its forests and workers to be had in great numbers that with anything like sane government wood for fuel would not be high. But with affairs going as they now, it cannot be long before $2,400 will not be enough to buy wood to make fire with. The money itself will be worth more than fuel, and the of financing which the Moscow Government is responsible for will as ever, work out its own reducio ad absurdum.
 The people who suffer from the industrial pa ralysis which a complete debasement of the circu- lating medium causes will know where to place the blame. and they will not wait forever for Lenine

Foolish Procedure.
(Valdez Miner.

If news dispatches correct in stating that John E. Ballane the townsite promoter at Seward IS in Washington vigorously opposing the work or the Alaskan Engineering Commission and the appropr1a-
 ion for completing the railway, it appears most senseess and foolish proceeding. While Seward has nCt benefited as much from the building of the rail way as other towns to the westward, the fact still remains that it must be the ultimate benefactor, as all traffic during the winter months must pass direct
 y through the city MT. Ballaine's opposition to the commission personal motives bids fair to do much damage to Seward unless he can be restrained Ine commission has performed wonderful work and should be praised instead of censured. The money spent IS
 in the nature of gift from the gods and if the ap propriation is killed the work goes into the hands Of private parties irreparable damage will be done Every should be offered to capital coming to Alaska whether it be government capital or pri vate capital. We hope that Mr. Ballaine has been niisquoted.

A Good Tip.
(Wall Street Journal.)

Apropos of criticism of President Wilson by reason of his trip to the Peace Conference and consequent inermeddling by the United States in the European situation, a member of prominent New York bank ing firm remarked that it reminded him of story told of the late Jay Gould. "As is well known," he said, "Mr. Gould quite tacturn. He tinually being bedevied by friends for market tips which he would usually answer in monosyllables. One day particularly ubiquitous acquaintance be- gan to question him.
 And how MT. Gould did you make all your mon ey in such short space of time?" his final query

SAYS AMERICA
 IS NO PLACE FOR
 THE BOLSHEVIKI

NEW YORK, March g. - Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation, says in the Sunday Sun that America is no place for the Bolsheviki movement, as the small owners of property, being in a vast, majority, would be the greatest sui ferers. Small mobs here are shirk CTS, not workers and the rich and poor must act together to curb them
 "A regn of so-called BoIshevikism. in the United States" he says, would be the voluntary return of an intelligent people to those primitive stages of human progress when men lived in bands or tribes, fought in bands or tribes, and were subject to the undeveloped instincts of sheer barbarism. No class of people ir America would be willing even to take one step in that direction. The advocates of Bolsheviksm may have loud voices but they must be few in number

A Question of Whose OK.
(New York World.)

Prof. Hans Delbruck, the eminent German histo rorian, indignantly protests that everything indi caes that the French plan very long occupation of German territoryl and after peace we'll until many has paid the indemnities.' This is exactly what the Germans did under the terms of the Treaty of Frankfort of 1871 As consequence of the Ger man occupation, France paid off the indemnity than it expected required to pay it, which caused Bismark express regret that larger indem nifty had not been exacted.

to carry out his hopeless task of winning outside support for the Bolshevik Government
BUT HE DIDN'T.

Writing under the heading, What Roosevelt Dld' the Dispatch says:
 'It will be remembered that of the
 things for which Roosevelt was criticized
 was his promotion of three coones to brlg-
 adler generalship the heads of senior
 colonels. The promotion in each case was
 for distinguished service and exceptional
 ability. In the light of subsequent events,
 it is interesting to recall the names ot
 the colonels who became Roosevelt generals
 They were Leonard Wood, Frederick Funston
 and John J. Pershing.
 Gen Wood and Gen. Funston were Mckinley Gen ,rals Both became Brgader- Generals through ap nointment from President Mckinley before Col Roosevelt was even Vice-President of the United States Neither of them held the rank Of Col cnel in the regular army at all. But the Dlspatci was onethird correct and that is pretty hlgh per centage for it.
