Washington and Grant extolled the blessings of The soldier, realizing the horrors and tragedies of through intimate contact appreciates more than the civilian the desrability of human accord and peaceful associations. He knows for what General Sherman proclaimed it to be His eyes have ceen hia have heard things that he gladly would forget if he could Hence General Pershng, in his recent message speaks from his soldier heart with all the eryor born of experience in the worlds lists of tremendous conflict It is message worth pre- serving, proclamation appealing to all that is best in the pubic consciousness Recently, at Schenectady he said:
 With each New Year comes new hope and ours should be for peace, without which can have neither happiness prosperity. May the New Yeal bring to every American deeper appreciation his obligations citizen and greater activity in the exercise of his duties and privileges as such.
 With the Ten Comma ndments religion and the Constitution ap political creed, our country should forward the fulfllment of the glorious promises of past. As nation we can to the world the living example of a free Govern ment of law and order founded upon the great prin- ciples that were the inspirations of forefathers

Intolerance.
(Editor and Publisher. ]


 There are a great many persons who becmoe greatly involved in their lcgc when they enter into difcussion of the rights under the guarantees Of tree speech. This includes newspaper men,
 The mon who placed the first amendment in the Constitution of the United States knew from ex- perience end intolerance of one man for the opinion Of another and of one group for the opinion of another.
 After drafting the Constitution bind the original States in perfect Union their first concern was the preservation of the right to reason and proclaim in order that the truth might be found and be the basis on which lasting political unity to be built The men who drafted our guarantee of free speech knew from experience the bitterness of intolerance at tbe hands of others.
 Human nature has not greatly changed since 17gl lntclerance against the opinions of others is preva lent everywhere today. Kansas Memphis Tenn nave this year supplied the outstanding attacks against freedom of speech.
 George Bernard Shaw has written a great defens SD ot free speech in single that should have its place on every editorial room desk:
 Our whole theory Of freedom of speech and opinion for all citizens rests, not the assumption that everybody is right, but the certainty that everybody is wrong point on which some body else is right, that there is public danger in allowing anybody to go unheard''
 Do not dismiss that sentence with single reading it is worthy of study. Many of us need that guidance and especially when 1t the other fellow $ opinion that is being smothered under a wave of temporary intolerance

LONG NEGLECTED ACTION TAKEN.

The bill recently introduced in the lower House by Delegate Sutherland providing for the full exten sion of the Federal Highway Act to Alaska is one that should stand on it's own merits without fear of seros opposition from anyone Every argument that can be advanced for Federal aid in the construction cf highways trails applies with particular force this Territory. In fact it is ridiculous 10 speak or Federal aid' connection with the construction of roads this country where at least 9S per cent or the land and resources are by the nation rather than by private interests. Federal aid implies that the national Government is extending assistance to the States in carrying activities of primary benefit the latter. While there is no doubt that Alaska would receive benefit from the building of more roads and trails it's share would be less than that accruing to the Federal Government itself
 In single enterprise the national Government has invested $5600O,OoO. That enterprise a rail- read, depends entirely for upon the con struction of roads and trails, opening up mineral districts tributary to it. From Seward to Fairbanks, a distance of 467 miles, there fewer roads than can be counted on the fingers of both hands, For the present and in all probability until great many roads constructed tapping mineral districts which potential traffic reservoirs, Congress must appro- priae approximately $1.000,000 every year to meet the deficit between operating expenses and revenues. The bill introduced by the Delegate offers ready sourcc of road funds without violating precedents or establishing a one. It merely seeks to apply to Alaska principles already recognized in current Ioad building relations between the Federal and in- dividual State governments.
 Action in this matter has long delayed for some unfathomabe It should have been taken two years ago when the original Federal aid measure was introduced An opportunity again presented last June when the original Act extended for a period of several years. On neither occasion was any effort made behalf of the Territory. Now that the effort is being made, it ia to be hoped that the Delegate will leave nothing undone that se- cure proper consideration of the bill that it will be. enacted into law before Congress adjourns March 4th.

LEE OUTRIVALS FICTION.

Truth ie stranger than fction runs an old provert that is household saying familiar in all lands. Every day or so there ccmes some striking evidence that life. indeed, ahead of fiction.
 Fifty years ago John G. Shedd started with Mar shall Field. of the greatest mercandising houses in the country s10 week clerk The other day he retired from the presidency of the firm. He was succeeded by James Simpson, who started an office boy. Prior to his ascendency to the head the concern MT Simpson had risen the vicepresidency His successor in that office is John MacKinley an other office boy
 An even more striking illustration of the way life beats fiction at it's game is the selection of F. Edson White to be President the great pack ing houee of Armour Company. He will not only direct the destinies of the Illinois corporation with its yearly business of than billion dollars but he will also control the activities of Armour X Com of Deloware. the recently organized subsidiary or the main corporation, which, it is reported will take over the business of Morris & Company if that deal is eonsnmmated. Thus MT White will become the active head of the packing industry ever created.
 He is less than 50 years old He started in the slime and dirt of Packingtown'' less than 3s years ago, and without any pull" except that exercised by natural ability. has arisen to a position of com handing eminence. MT. White received a public school education at Peoria Ills. At the age of seven teen years he to on the killing floor of il Peoria packing house. Five years later he went to Chicago to enter the employ of Armour X Company as an Inspector of car route department. year later he organized and became head of the sheen qepartment Within ten years from the time he weht to work for Armour. he was made assistant to one of the vice-presdens. In 1912, the company made him director and just two years he was rewarded with vce-presidency. In nine years he rose from that post to the presidency
 MT White is too young Yet, and much too busy to take time to tell how he arrived" But judging from his career, he made up his mind early where he onip fT,5, ing the time clock and wishing for the chief of his department to resign or die that he might have a chance at the resulting vacancy The road from the killing fcor Of little packing house to the presi

SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD OUTPUT GROWS

Settlement last year of labor troubles in South African gold mines and reduction of operating costs effected by economies adopted by the operators have resulted in stimulating the gold output of that dis trict This year will show substantial increase in the output South African mines according to the American Trade Commissioner for the district
 Every month since the strike settled, produc- titn was increased. Last November the total output of the district 764476 fine ounces of gold. Mining costs have been reduced and greater efficiency de- yeloped The labor situation in the mines is satis- factory A total of 173,173 natives were employed the end Of November compared with 175,129 October but the output for the former month was the larger The Mining Industry Board has made its report which is favorable to the operators and man agers. No wage increases recommended and the action of the companies in putting economies into effect was upheld

Sauce for the Gander Also.
{ New York World.)

Attorney General Daughery simply expresses { purpose of enforcing even-handed justice between employing associations and labor by his rul- ing in the case of the San Francisco Builders Ex change. Action along this line will be as timely as undoubtedly it will be well grounded on the con sriracy sections of the Federal Antitrust Laws
 The United States Supreme Court has decided in tLe Duplex Printing that labor unions cannot lawfully carry their efforts to extend the closed shop 10 the point of refusing to handle in union plant goods machinery made in non union plant No more can the builders other employers of San Francisco elsewhere in the United States carry tAeir efforts 10 establish the open shop to the point of making agreements to sell material to con- tractors cr others who give preference to union labor in hiring help.
 What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce Ter the gander The action the maehinists in the Duplex Printing case constituted secondary boy eott of capital by labor, which has come to be uni tormy and rightly condemned by tle law and the courts The action of the San Francisco Builders Exchange is equally secondary boycott turned the other way around and equally to be condemned.

British Liberals May
 United to Guard Funds

LONDON. Jan. .22.-The Asquith. Grey Liberals are casting a covetous eye upon the Lloyd George party funds, which are said to amount to more than two million pounds sterl- ing.
 Their argument is that the sub scrlbers to the Lloyd George fund gave their money to be used as Lib eral propaganda. and not for the use or any one section of the party. This is said to be one of the inn polling motives for reunion of the two branches of the party.
 The Asquith-Grey Liberals have turned down the suggestion made bs some of the Subscribers to have the matter taken into court,
