1.-THE FLAME OF. THE YUKON" AT THE LIBERTY THEATRE
 FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY

DOUGLAS, Oct 11--To the old timers it will bring back the days of the big stampede into the Yukon country, where men and women alike packed their heavy outfits making many trips back and forth, sweating, tired, and cursing their lot, wishing themselves back in the good old states where life was much easier and giving them less trouble, but still pressing forward towards the gold belt. They cursed, struggled and sweat some reaching their des- tination physical wrecks, others turn ing back and still others dying from exhaustion Only the strongest and most rugged stood the test nature had mapped out before they were to get the wealth from her hills and creeks. Among these hardy pioneers were two, man and a woman, "Black Jack" Clancy and his girl known as "The Flame" They reached Hope City, where already there were tents numbering to the thousands, wooden shacks built in a hurry and warm enough perhaps, to keep out tho bitter winter frosts. Anyway, it was a place to call home, until? The rest see it at the Liberty Sunday and Monday.

TIME WASTED

The charge that the United States Senate is wasting that ought to be spent in dlsposlng oi the treaty of peace is supported by facts that de velop in the Senate day after day.
 A good illustration ocurred when Senator New introduced his resolution asking the President TOT a report the landing of American troops on the Adratic coast of Frau. If the Senator had wished to know what was known in Washington he could have found out by sending his secretary to the War Department but that proceeding would not have answered the demands of politics He hoped that something might be dragged that would put the president in unpleasant position. Senator Hitch cock protested that the Senate was wasting time on the resolution and charged that it was part Of a fflibuster against treaty. Senator Lodge denied that there was any fiibuster and demanded informa tion as to who authorized the landing at Frau. Senator Fall declared that the President IS not a military dictator and that act of military inter ference without the authority of Congress is the act of military dictator Senator Swanson pro- tested against Falls ntmation that the landing was an act of war, and Senator Poindexter inter- jected some remarks about the responsibility of the United States for the domestic troubles of Italy.
 Throughout the debate it appears to have been assumed on both sides that the Supreme War Coun- ell in Paris ordered the landing. Press dispatches show that the landing ordered by the American naval commander at the request of the Italian ad- miral, and that the council of Paris knew nothing about it. The purpose of the landing not war like, and certainly not offensive to Italy, which through proper authority, asked the Americans to land for the purpose of keeping order.
 The Senators were therefore, all wrong the facts Furthermore, they all agreed that the reso lution, having been introduced ought to be adopted There was therefore no dispute about the main issue and occasion for the talk. If proceeding of that kind is not waste of time, what is it?

Worrying About Japan

.....,..... est. Louis Republic)
 In his speech in East St Louis Congressman Me Kinley warned his hearers that the Japanese nation threatens to ''overwhelm the world
 Careful consideration, think, will indicate that MT. Mckinley underesimates the stability of this mundane sphere. A world which managed to keep its equilibrium for the last four years against the shocks imposed by greater nation than Japan and which, relatively to the strength, of the world at large greater than Japan is ever likely to be, is not likely to be tumbled over by any nation.
 Moreover, the failure of Germany when it under took overwhelming taught double lesson Ambitious nations learned that any attempt at ex- tensve conquest will bring the whole world into line learned to believe that be prevented by international cooperation.
 If Japan has really harbored the conquering am still Japanese statesmen would know that any at tempt to gratify that ambition would lead straight to the abyss into which Germany is plunged.
 Instead of worrying about the Japanese peril at this time, the United States will do better to culti- vate Japanese good will. Japan, not by of any evil ambition but because of racial and national superiority, is likely to be the dominant element in Far Eastern affairs for many years to Moth ing stands in the way of this prospect except the possibility of birth of enterprise in ancient China, and that possibility is remote and probemati- cal Japanese ascendancy is existing fact, which amount of wordy aspersion this side of the water will remove. To recognize it and act upon his wisdom for America. To perstently stir up picion and ill feeling is folly.

 Men like to joke about women talking so much. But a mans idea of an interesting conversation is one in which he does all the talking.
 A man makes lot of fuss over landing a four-pound bass. But it takes a girl to land 165-pound suck CT or a 170-pound bullhcad with nothing but smiles and kisses for bait.
