St. Patrick's day in tho morning.
Ohio physicians saved the sight
of a man whose eye was Injured.
They substituted the eye
of a pig. If that man tries to liog
everything in sight you can’t hlame
him. And by the same token for a
whole lot no substitution is needed.
In January a Pan-American Alli
ance was hinted at. And Mexico
fittingly raises the curtain on the
opening scene.
Scientists a? a Washington Com*

Reverend Mathews who is some
class himself as well as an ardent
prohibitionist, deplores the raid ot
Sheriff Hodge upon “our better class
clubs". Even in booze fighting there
is caste, you see.
A shop employee of the Bethlehem

What does tho unsophisticated em
ployee think? That Schwab Is in th
business for his health?
The Wets are using the argument
that yrohibition increases the con
sumption ot wood alcohol which kills.
Never heard of a more fatuous ar
gument! The mere fact that drink
ing develops a craving for red ink,
methylated spirits or vanilla extract
is sufficient to stamp the habit for
what it Is. Beware of boomerangs!
It is astonishing the number of so
cialist party men oppose prepared
ness because of increased taxation.
Some of them will be wanting to
reduce the bank’s rate of interest
some of these days.
War babies in England do not
mean quite the same thing as t>.
Wall street, Pauline. In England
the expression was coined to* explain
away the number children born fol
lowing outbreak of the war and mili
tary concentration and whose birth
was unaccompanied or unpreceded
by wedlock. The playful spirit of
U:e American financier ref :rn to his !
war stocks . . his war babies. That's |
the gay humor ot' the cat worrying 1
the raptured mouse.
An investigation of the riots in i
Youngstown during the strike shows!
that it was started by private gun- 1
men taking shots at a union-meet
ing. Another case of capitalist pre
par dness.
A Juneau lawyer discussing the
appointment of Brandeis expressed
profound regret that Taft did not
get the appointment. He objected j
to Brandeis as a partlzan and de
nounced the fact that he took a i
part In the Ballinger-Pinchot con- I
troversy. Taft we suppose did and !
said nothing in that famous case,1
did not Attorney Lawler write th • ;
Whitewash letter?
Professor Whilbeek has been tell

earth was formed. A much deepei
question is how the world was i

*Ycst Point music cost the nation '
[al government $24.00 last year.
Q rag time in this preparedness.
A Juneau paper carries a column
ojWiospital notes most of which are
VnBlrned with injured miners. How
that compensation bill does relieve
the companies! Safety first—forgn
it.
It didn’t need a Turkish dispatch
to deny the canard that Bethlehem,
Palestine, was about to change its
name. It is still pround of its Am
erican namesake.
They have whooped up the price
of gasoline another notch. War is
Hell but it has its good points. Asa
Standard Oil.
“Alaska Aline Owner Charged with
espionage" is the caption in a J
Juneau paper. This is not telling i
about the elaborate system of spy- i
ing that the mining companies ot 1
the Alaska capital have established, |
'so Juneau paper would dream of
mentioning that. On the authority
of one of them, haven’t the compa
nies killed tiie independence of the
people with “kindness".
Great sympathy was felt for the
Seward dock fire in Valdez and
equal pity was felt for Valdez on ac
count of their dock fire by Seward.
But that does not prevent both ex
ploiting the fact that the prosperity
of one is menaced by the greediness
of tiie other.
A letter from Dime Creek miners
says that they hope for a change ot

the Amorican socialists if the coun
try was invaded would be the first to
get the war fovor even thought jjow

argument in the conduct of British,'
French, Russian and German social
ists where the Comrades went the
militarists one better all along the
line.
One million dollars was speiU on
wine and festivity in the New York
cafes to usher in the New Year. And
still those people in 'the tenements
will not see that prosperity is here.
The U. S. Department of Justice
will not prosecute the Du Pont
powder trust being satisfied that it
has reformed. It’s mighty hard to
pierce delinquency through half,
billion corporations.
Although the evidence was dirte»
and conclusive enough for ali
the mine detective for shooting a
Colorado labor organizer and kill
ing him when the mine trouble was
on, was found not guilty by a Tri
nidad jury of mine officials and busi
ness men having contracts with the
mines. Let Justice be done though
the heavens fall.
At any rate in these days of na
tional preparedness and Mexican eir
ses Congress is conveniently absolv
ed from considering the Industrial
Relations Commission report. The'
Gods of the capitalists play with
loaded dice, as the Greek philo
sopher opined.
Ed Orr one time republican can
didate for delegate to Congress from
Alaska is now the owner of a J00
acre ranch in Lewis Country, Wash
ington and shipped in forty head ot
horses on special order to the hite

Tis better to have run and lost
Than never to have run at all.

The political wheels grind slowlj
and they are grinding damn small
dope out these days.
If labor doesn't produce all wealth
how is it the absence of a payroll
causes a hard time? Dont all speak
at once.
The dignity of labor is a very
real thing im a low drift where the
candles dont burn any too ’.veil, but
the men tbit talk about it take care
to avoid being themselves a horrible
example. 4, ^
Those tv ho talk of the blessings
of poverty rever let their envy of
the poor man's lot get the better of
them so that they give away all that
they have and join his ranks.
Alaska for Alaskans seems to be
a dead issue this year.
Tfierc's many a slip twixt the
election ana the job.
It’s tlie man that hires the muck
stick artist plays tne sure thing
game. •
Police found a revolver in the
stocking of a woman and she got
ninety days in the New York house
of correction. She claimed in de
fense that she was an advocate of
preparedness but the Judge coulnd't
see it that way. How unreasonable
men are!
There’s a society to eliminate the
causes of war established in the
United States. No, they dont pro
pose to abolish capitalism and they
never did hear of the man who tried
for years to wheel daylght into a
dark hole.
The Pope wants a ‘‘fair’ peace.
So do every one of the belligerents,
and that’s what they are fighting
about.
Ed Chilberg of Seattle had an in
terview with Justice Hughes and ha
couldn’t make him change his mini
about being a presidential candi
date. When the Seattle spirit can't
work Hughes what’s the use of
anything or anyone else trying.
Dont say that Nome is not preg
nant with embryonic statesmen.
Democrats find it very convenient
to avoid answering the charge of
: Wilson’s coquetitng with the Man- i
hattan club by unkindly remarks |

Gompers when he visits Chicago ]
is furnished a courtesy escort by the j
Police Department. Union garment j
workers on strike are furnished with
a similar escort and it’s not a
jcourtesy either. But then look who
[ Gompers is.

Henry Ford says that the real
cause of war is that those who do
the fighting let the other fellows do
the thinking. The real cause of
j wage slavery is that those who do
the working let the men that work
them do their thinking. But Henry
will never mention that fact, better
be p pacificist than an industrial
ist.
Great activity on Wall street says
a dispatch. On with the dance,
Who's afraid?
And that Chinese rebellion has
not been able to distract attention
from the war in Europe, why then
should the politicians complain that
they are not being listened to
