be counted upon henceforth in great

The hard fact is that in all proba-

BISHOP COMES INSIDE
ON ANNUAL INSPECTION

Among the passengers on the
steamer Alaska, enroute to Fair
banks, was Ri. Rev. Peter Trimble
Rowe, D D., Bishop of Alaska, who
is making the rounds of the mis-
sions under his charge in Central
Alaska. Much of this journeying
this summer, as in past seasons, will
be done in company with Archbishop
Hudson Stuck, in the mission launch
Pelican.
Next year will mark the twenty
fifth year in which the bishop has
been travelling through Alaska in
connection with his church work.
Three times he has refused to be
transferred to other missionary
fields.
Bishop Rowe plans to return to
the States next fall in time to at
tend the Triennial General conven-
ton of his church, which meets al
Detroit for three weeks.

argument no doubt advanced by the
packers.
Why should it be the meat pack
ers who have first call upon the ear
of the government when it is a
question of putting on the market
surplus food stocks that might af-
feet prices? The American consum-
er is becoming dazed by what ap-
pears to be his governments theory
of reconstruction. So far that the
DRY seems to be that the country
will plunge to economic ruin unless
those who have profited by war are
guaranteed continuation or even in
crease of their profits.
The millions who have carried the
heaviest burdens of war are now
counted on to take still heavier
loads in order that various groups
specially favored by war-whether
capitalists or ge-earners-may not
have to come down a hands breadth
from their high horses.
Government control during war
has left meat packers, coal mag
mates, great industrial interests in
the East and a few war-favored
classes of labor with apparent pow
er to dictate government policies in
the name of Reconstruction"
So far Americans who have done
their utmost for their country dur
ing the war, who are now trying to
meet postwar cost of living with
pre-war incomes and losing ground
in the struggle, have seen little in
this so-called reconstruction that
considers them or their needs.
To them reconstruction is protects
ing those who have profted by war
and ignoring those who have paid
for it. And the administration itself
is chiefly responsible for this view,
