| to the cloth or mahogany believed that the pitcher could be brought from the well brim- ming fill for an indefinite period of time. Pos siby of many of those who thus dissipated their substance had stuck to the nickel value and adhered to scientific cost basis, there would be more of the gold dust in Alaska to- day circulating in the thousand and one indus tries and avenues of endeavor in which it is circulating in various portions of the United States The men who took the gold from Al aska did not spend it on a two-bit basis when the nickel standard got the same results It does not matter how plentiful money is, if a man cannot hold onto it he might as well have a penny standard if the penny will purchase for his personal needs what two-bits ordn- arily purchased.
 There must be relaxation to normal values in Alaska before the things essential to pros perity are developed. Were conditions gauged by placer mining, when large quantities of vir- gin gold could be extracted from the ground with ease then the dollar standard would sui flee, but placer is but tithe in the summary of industries that will serve to maintain and create additional prosperity.
 The unfortunate part about Alaskan history is that the high values placed upon everything has enabled the gouger to come in, remain for a short time, exist among crudest surround ings and depart with his accumulation. When it must be made on more narrow margin and a man must spend many years to accumulate it. he naturally is forced to build good resi- dence, permanent store building and In oth- CT ways create his environment as he pro- crosses. Coming to like 1t be becomes a per manent entity instead of leech.
 Those who dream of the days of the two-bit standard and the excitement that follows these conditions may have to seek other worlds, for normaalcy is here and future progress will be gauged by more narrow margins, which at the same time are of sufficient breadth to allow Of every man to have in Alasqa what he cannot have in the older communities-a pretty little home full dinner pail, sane, healthful pleas ures, and association among men and women who bring the last degree of human com panionship into their daily lives Beyond this the world consists of vanities and instablA- ties that bring destructive instead of creative influences upon mankind.-Anchorage Times.

A FINE KETTLE OF FISH

When it is considered that the government is spending millions of dollars in it's attempts to inforce the Federal liquor law on land and IS itself engaging in its sale on its own ships, the business of the ordinary bootlegger does not appear so reprehensible to the average citizen after al On the contrary, they are justified in contending that the government IS not su- perior to the people and should not delegate to itself privileges that are denied the people. Another thing; If liquor is a bad thing on land, it is equally deleterious on the water. Ii 1t IS a good thing on the water, it's benefits can not possibly be wholly lost when it IS brought ashore On the whole for the government to inforce law on land and violate the same law on the sea is to say the least, somewhat in conoruous. It is condition that will lose Am erica the respect of other nations and the Am erican government much of the respect of its own people.
 Albert D. Lasker, chairman of the American ShinDino Board, contends that booze must be sold on American ships in order that they may be able to compete with ships of other nations Attorney General Daugherty at first opposed Lasker's plan but is now silent on the subject norferrino to await the decision of the Su- nreme Court which will not be given yet for SIX months or 1lOlt c1lNt' pClitiAS 'iie'' '~Oi sion. the government will continue to engage in the traffic of liquor on the sea and prose cute its traffic on land.

 In the meantime President Harding IS keep ing the middle of the road, attending centenla celebrations and getting off nice little platl- tudes concerning coming prosperity that were old when Noah tied up his scow to snub- ping post on Mount Ararat. The president has for company other leaders of the administra- ton who are silently watching the situation afraid to hazard a guess as to what the out come will be.
 At the same time the drvs are tearing their hair and their shirts and threatening defeat of of the present administration unless it retres from the booze business instantly, and on the whole the situation presents the most grave and complicated tangle that has existed since the dawn of the dry era.
 And while all this is going on, the cold ano cammy fact remains that Uncle Sam is him self selling booze on the sea and arresting fin ing and sending men to jail for selling it or land.
 While Americans may get drink by going to sea- they don't have to go on to Denmark tt find something rotten.-Stroller's Weekly.

THE HUMBLE NICKEL

Fairbanks complains of having arrived at the point where the humble nickel has come
 into circulation, and those living in the shad- dow of the dreams of the old days herein scent dire calamity. This has been the experience
 of every mining region in the world and, con trary to the popular superstition, does not mark the advent of decline, but rather indi- cates an epoch when the standard of values are based upon realities rather than inflations. What matter if the smallest circulating unit is dollar if one is compelled to pay that amount for five-cent article? The standard was established in relation to the saloon and gambling houses-when dust was coming in freely and many of those who passed it over
