NOT A PARTY ASSET

T am happy to associate myself with Mr. Taft in this great cause. He has displayed an elevation of view and devotion to public duty which is beyond praise. And am the more hap py because this means that this is not party issue. No party has the right to appropriate this issue, and no party in the long run oppose ;r.1-PresIdent wilson sad Tn his address Tn New York March 4, 1919.
 Commenting on the above the OregOnan says
 Some republicans doubtless are against a league of nations because President Wilson is for it. Some democrats are for a league of ma tions solely because President Wilson is for it.
 ''But the American people-or the great ma jority of them are for league of nations be- cause they have risen above the levels of par tisanship and see with a clear vision the way of duty to ether nations and to humanity"

The arrest of two prominent Seward men by the marshars office for bOotlegging, with their subsequent conviction, shows that the federal officials in earnest in their attempt to break up this nefarious traffic and that Marshal Bren nenan and his deputies are playing no favorites n shielding law violators The prominence of the men arrested and the fact that they had taken oath to maintain the laws of the terrtiry is most deplOrable We believe that U. s. Mar sha Brenneman has crushed the liquor traffic in Seward by the arrest of these men and the coniscation of their stocks. They should now be impeached and thrown out of their official positions. When men high up in society with a good business stoop to the petty crime of boot logging, they deserve no sympathy from their fellow men.-Valdez Miner

THE PURTFICATI0N or RUSSIA

Nicholas H., wavering like reed between op- posing policies like reed, was broken; and with him the whole majestic facade of the autocracy which for centuries had served to disguise the rottenness within, fell in bloody ruin..
 History records one such period of complete breakdown and ruin core in the Russian em- pire; the fifteen years that succeeded the death in 1898 of Theodore l., the last Tsar of the dy- nasty of Rurik the Yaran2ian. These anarchic years, during which the whole Russian body polite seem to be. disolviag into it's clements, were known in thai country as the "time of tropies.1 Russia escaped from these troubles by the vigorous national reaction which carried the Romanovs to the throne as the elect of the Russian people. A similar reaction may come today. But we must not eYrecl t too iunpati- enty.

THE question of government loss, if
any, will revolve around several differ

world will have any surplus from the
1918 crop to carry over into next year:
second, what the supply and demand

whether the government should delib-
erately decide to take loss in order
to lower the price of bread
