BETTER STAY IN THE NORTH.

Those Naldezians who are going Outside in hopes of bettering their condition will be grievously disap- pointed, warns the Valdez Miner, if news Altering in from beyond is any index. It is reported that living in
 Seattle today is from 30 to 50 per cent higher than in this city. and that industrial conditions are bad. Take the case of George Sanders,
 of this city: Mir. Sanders has been
 through the States from Texas to
 the Pacific coast, and despite the
 high wages and steady employment, says that one can accumulate but
 little of the stuff that greases the wheels of economic progress. He prefers to return and spend the
 winter in his home, where the hand
 of every neighbor is extended to him in good fellowship and where carking care and worry never come.
 Why give your money to the steam ship companies. when your fare out and back would keep you comfort ably all winter? No high prices to pay for water. streetcars, electric lights, and other conveniences. It is
 better to be satisfied than sorry.

rail and water It has been a Her culean task. and it has been per formed with despatch and competen- cy.
 IL is disgraceful that men, both in business and among the laboring classes, have sought to take ad- vantage of these tremendous bur deEs for profteering purposes. It is shameful that I. W. W. agitators and many politicians. men seeking easy jobs at the expense of labor organizations and those who are trying to win the election for one reason or another, have taken ad- vantage of the situation to create as much unrest. distrust. and fac tional friction as possible.
 This is a time that calls for CO., operation all along the line. if there ever was such time It is a time when men should think before they speak, time when they should not find fault unless they know what they are criticising. Good and level headed citizens will aid those who are trying to perform their several tasks in spite of irresponsible criti- cisms from those who are thinking of other things than the restoration of orderly procedure in the country The public should not permit those who profit from chaotic conditions to have the stage. This is not a time when the average citizen can afford to permit irresponsible agi- tators. discontent manufacturers, promoters of gloom and suspicion to control thought.
 The officers who the people have chosen to direct the affairs of the United States through this crisis and those who have been selected to serve the people of Alaska are not in league with profteers of high or low estate, they are not listening to trouble-making agitators and poli- ticians. They are doing no grand standing, They are quietly and with determined resolve trying to serve the great American public in accord ance with their oaths of office with out regard to the effect on their own political fortunes, and they should have the support all along the line that such service merits.

NOTHING TO QUARREL ABOUT
 HERE.

No matter what may be right or wrong concerning the differences between capital and labor in the numerously populated and highly organized centers of the East, there Is no occasion for quarrel in Alas ka, believes the Juneau Alaska Daily Empire There is no lack of oppor- tunity for individual effort here. There is all the room in the world for individual effort here There is all the room in the world for indi- vidual enterprise in this country. In no other region of the world is 1t so generally true that the worker of yesterday is the independent man of affairs today. The resources of Alaska are lying at every mans door and beckoning him on to effort for himself.
 Alaska is just where the United States was half century ago. when the whole West called the wage workers of the East to leave farm and forge and come and occupy tke land and develop the resources. They did that, leaving the work in the factories and elsewhere for the immigrants of Europe. There IS opportunity for all that are in Alaska to go out and utilize the resources. or stay in town and worl' and save and purchase property and grow with the towns into prosperi- ". just as Americns have done throughout the nation for a cen tury.
 Alaska's great need is capital to coihe anu deNe-op Vlie i''ofS all" make business and cities. If work ingnen would make the best use of their time and effort they will no: start industrial strife here that will prevent capital from coming and drive away that which is here. They will, instead. work and save and purchase town or other property and say to capital: Come and make cities of our towns and thereby make our property valuable, and give us yet more chances to get into business for ourselves.

 CRITICISM.

There is altogether toe much agi- tation and fault-fnding at this time throughout the country-and in AL aska, declares the editor of the Juneau Alaska Daily Empire. There never was a time when conditions called louder upon the same to keep their heads Those in public office in the Nation and in Alaska are doing all within their power to aid in bringing things as nearly to a normal basis as possible in the short est possible time
 The Nation has done a great work in that line. The army of more than two million men which was sent over the ocean to fight fer the national honor and safety and the cause of humanity has been brought home in less time than 1t took to send it over. The more than two million other soldiers who were in the various camps have been dis charged and sent home.

NEW REFORM.

The nation that smokes per ishes," declares R. P Moncrief. hon. orary statistician to the British Anti Tobacco and Anti-Narcotic league of Manchester
 In the year 1917, he says, the British people smoked 152,215, 5,700 pounds of tobacco, costing the smok- CTS approximately s497, ,69O,O0G. Pipes and other appliances came to s22,6S4, 1000, making total for the year of more than s52o,OO0,OOo.
 The following year the amount increased to l64,s38,S00 pounds smoked, valued at s668, ,765, 800, with pipes and appliances costing s23,- sOs,5OO.
 From these figures it would ap- pear that the consumption of tobac- co in 1918 increased over 1917 by 12,623,100 pounds, or S.29 percent, while the extra cost was s171,O74,- 300, or 34.37 percent. The total expenditure for the two years was $1,212,45 ,0OO, a figure which leads Mir. Moncrieff to explain:

Humor

If one has humor in his make
up, he is the darling child Of
luck; for all the troubles life can
rake up slide off like water from
a duck. If humor's in your COM
position, you laugh where other
fellows swear, and no adven-
ture or condition can fill your
bosom with despair. All, me, l
pity some poor mortals who
cannot laugh at their own grief !;
you cannot make them think
that chortles bring to our trou-
bles quick relief. They're al
ways prompt to laugh at others,
they see the fun in neighbors'
cares; they laugh when they
behold their brothers go falling
down nine flights of stairs. But
their own grief's another mat
ter-there's nothing humorous
in that; they hand out grievous
groans and splatter all kinds of
tears around the fiat. 1t is not
.humor that inspires you if you
ha-ha at others woe, while
your own trouble only tires you,
and makes the we'll known briny
flow. If you can laugh at your
own troubles you have true
humor in your heart, and you
can look on woes as bubbles
you have a salve for every
smart. WALT MASON.
