ALASKA WANTS TO COME IN

The next state that may be added
to the forty-eight of Uncle Sans
dominions will probably be Alaska.
That country is now knocking at the
door and wants TO come in out of the
cold, for it is we'll to know that Alas
ka had been noted as q snow bound
waste, the home of polar bears and
rein deer.
In 1867 the United States purchas-
ed the territory of Alaska from Rus
sia, paying therefor $7,2OO,OO0 in
gold. The purchase was ridculed at
the time, upon the supposition that
we were buying an icc-house and
nothing more. But it has been found
that the acquired country is rich in
coal and other minerals. 1t is 4 fact
that the United States Navy is min
ing its own coal in Alaska and the
government is planning to establish a
coaling station that will mean the saw
ing of thousands of tons in cargo car
rying capacity.
In 1915 President Wilson decided
upon the route of railroad of about
500 miles to be built in Alaska and
considerable progress has been made
in its construction. The country will
be further developed by the building
of branch lines of railroad and it is
only question of time when the ice
country will be a nice country.

VASHON- MAURY MOVIE
SHOWS ARE UP TO DATE

The two movie shows which are
now running on the islands, at
Vashon and Burton, are well con
Quoted and are bidding for the
patronage of the best people on
the island. They show high grade
pictures, but find there is actually
no profit in them at present prices.
For that reason both show houses
have been faced with one of two
conditions-either to cheaper the
pictures or raise the price of add
mission. They have decided not to
cheaper the quality of the shows
but to make a slight raise in the
price of admission, and we are
authorized to announce the new
rates at 20 and 80 cents. This is
only five cent raise, but will
mean a continuance of good shows
and the best is none too good for
the island.

AN EDITORIAL BRAINSToRM
THAT'S ALL.

The great war of Europe, which
promised to end as a big inter
national prayer meeting, now bids
fair to end as dirty international
prize fight. The hopes and pray
ers of many million mothers for
the end of war to usher in the day
when swords would be beaten into
plowshares and spears into prun-
ing hooks, and nation should no
longer rise against nation, neither
should they know war any more,
seems as far unanswered as the
day when the war broke out in
1914. The Kaiser abdicated, the
Car of Russia is dead, and En-
peror Carl of Austria is no longer
on a throne-but there are wars
and rumors of wars throughout
the whole earth.
Such conditions lead us to the
conclusion that national selfish
ness throughout the world is yet
rampant. World power and
financial greed are still the para
mount issues. England is at war
in Mesopotamia-the land of Alb
raham and other bible worthless

platforms evasive, and both candi,

Policy is Our Policy

One thing that puzzles our brain
is the policy we have adopted as a
nation toward Europe. We are
unwilling to enter league Of
nations and thus assume our full
measure of responsibility for the
work of reconstructing Europe,
but we We're willing and ready to
send a vast army of men and
billions of dollars over to "make
the world safe for Democracy"
1t seems to us that we should
either have stayed out altogether,
or once having gone in, stay with
it until the thing is over. Men
hate cutters in private life, and
we hate cutters in national life. 1t
seems to this paper that as a big,
powerful nation our foreign policy
has been weak and vacillating.
We watched the Lusitania sink,
with hundreds of lives lost, and
said nothing. But when the freight
was piling up on the wharves in
New York because of the German
submarine, we declared war and
got busy. We declared for the
freedom of the seas in the IA
points, but forgot all about it in
the peace treaty of Versailles.

But these things are past-what
of the future ? Candidate Cox
says the league of nations must be
paramount this fall in our cleo

by Henry Burr on new Victor
