BETTER AS IT IS.

When you come to thing of it. ev- erything is better as it is.
 Suppose we haven't concrete side walks-it's luky we haven't. Tie Coast towns where they have them find their sidewalks glaciered at this time of the year, and all winter, and 1t is about as much as your life is worth to take chance on them. With the wooden sidewalks we have now, when the thaw comes for an hour or a day the water runs through the cracks in the walks and bothers no more. On the concrete walks it freezes and glaciers. If you fall on our wood sidewalks your head hits the soft side of pine plank, and breaks the plank If you fall on concrete walk it creaks your ivory and musses you UT lot. most times
 Most of your trouble is in your head any way you take it.-Fairbanks News Miner.

WANT GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Statements by President Lewis of the Mine Workers Union show that. primarily, the objects of the present strike are to force the government to take over the mines and operate them. The operators realize that no matter what the outcome of the strike, if the miners fail of their object, another strike will be called, and another and another until socialism prevails, and the government takes charge of the properties. While government owner ship has long been a hoped-for theory among the more radical of the labor leaders, in practice it has proven a decided failure. That it will not bring about the Utopia expected by the min CTS is also certain. The government or expeditiously as private ownership. Higher wages and shorter hours add to the cost of production, and this in turn will be passed along to the consumer.
 Government ownership in mines will inturn be followed by government ownership of other industries until the nation will be composed of an inter- locking body of commissions, the ma .iority of whom will be unfamiliar with their jobs and appointed by political preferment.
