TO ABOLISH THE COMMISSARY.
'I lie public commissary at Anchorage is to he abolished
next .lime, according to announcement hy Lieut. Mears. The
merchants on the inlet wanted it abolished right away, pointing
out that no commissary was needed over here, and that on the
other hand the commission bought large .quantities of supplies
direct instead of bringing them in from the outside. The lieu
tenant came right hack by pointing out that the Anchorage
merchants had' made it known that the prices would be higher
alter the I reezeup, and that out of fairness to the railroad’em
ployee- notice must be given that on a certain date the com
missary would h(> closed.
by dune actual construction work will have advanced a
considerable distance inland, and the need for a commissary
store at Anchorage will have passed. Lor all practical pur
poses ii was not needl’d this year, but it is hard to discontinue a
commissary once it has been opened.—Seward Post.

WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO.
\all<‘\ forge—immersed in a nation’s effectionate tears,
deluged with the homage of a mighty republic, softened by the
pat beta* romance wreathed about it by a century of reverence
\ alhy forge, a camp of Mexican-like bandits and murderers
pestilential with tin* smear oi holy vessels stolen and clergymen
outraged, as the secretary of war would have it!
I’residi nt Wilson has boon unfortunate in his cabinet mak
ing. Bryan, who is charged by men of his own party with
11 eaehery to his chief, and that chief apparently impotent to
' l,; ’"H him; Daniels, a litttle old dame in curls whose soph
morisms have deprived the country of tin* advice and help of
some of the ablest men this country has trained at great ox
pease to give advice and help, and whose gelatinized' rulings
lutve made him the laughing stock of the world; Redfield,
"hose speechifying has spread laughter and alarm among
sound business men from time to time; and now Mr. Baker, the
secret an of war, who in a desperate attempt to apologize for
,! Milan- ol the administration in its Mexican muddlings, at
1 "■I'" ih< characters of the Revolutionary patriots, and casts
a slur upon the forebears of thousands of Americans who, with
a commendable pride and patriotism, look back upon them
with an enduring admiration.
It it were not 1 lie refinement of injustice and cruelty, it
would be the precipitate of silliness, and it is, in truth, a culmi
nation of indescretion and bumptiousness.
\\ here is the prophet who could have foretold that the
heart breaking prayers of (icorge Washington in the midst of
his fatten d, starving, freezing heroes at Valley Forge, ever
would have been pictured by an American secretary of war as
the hypocritical supplication of a buccaneer leading a crew of
pirates. For that’s what it amounts to.
11 the Mexican business has been handled correctly by the
administration in Washington, why was the Baker apology
necessary?
Mic ii'Miiiiony is uiai Americans are being squeezed out
of the Philippines on orders from Washington, 1). C. Has our
flag ceased to protect Americans on American soil, too?
-:o:
< tur Indian summer kindles a feeling of contented coziness
beneath the cravat, when we read the stories of middle west
blizzards. This is a comforting corner of the footstool—what!
-:o:-•
If loyal Hnglishmen heed Great Britain’s request that they
cease speculating in wheat in the hope of lessening the upward
pressure we may all he helped, as Liverpool rules the world’s
wheat.
The bakers warn us of higher bread'costs as wheat climbs
the ladder of costs. It is a burden which the administration
has in its power to relieve. But all the relief we get is another
shower of “fascinating articulation.”
--:o:-—
Knomiously increased costs of living are pursuing to the
last ditch President Wilson’s distinct promises of four years
ago to reduce them. If the present trend is allowed to continue
there is no telling to what extremities human suffering in Am
erican cities will run this winter.
-:o:
New York City is going to have a bureau whose duty shall
be to run down parents who desert their children and compel
them to support their offspring. There are sinners and sin
ners, but none that compares with these. Only a few' of the
beasts of the field equal them in bestiality.
-:o:
Italy is paying 2b cents a pound for sugar and other prices
have been elevated in the attempts to compel national economy.
Perhaps some apologist for the Wilson administration yet may
break forth with the statement that the lofty prices ' in the
l’nited States have been brought about for the same reason.
To be sure the congress recently adjourned led the example in
national economy!
-:o:
A contemporary harks back to the disgusted words of
Representative Fitz Gerald of New York, chairman of the ap
propriations committee. At the close of congress he said it had
spent money like a drunken sailor and “when I think of the
horrible mess I w ill be called on to present to the country' on
behalf of the Democratic party, 1 am tempted to quit my place.”
The orators of his party are keeping just as silent on the expen
ditures of congress as the enemy will let them. Their tongues
are likewise dumb about the 40,000 new' federal offices created
and filled since Mr. Wilson became president. There’s been
nothing like it since the American government was founded,
and we sincerely hope it will not be repeated. The country is
overrun with federal officers. It seems to take a great lost of
high priced men to return this realm to Jeffersonian simplicity.
