H. G. STEEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
romxiVA. ALASKA. MONDAY, (K’ToBKK i’, l!H<i.
Vienna loaves are scarce enough in the Austrian capital.
-— :o:
Italy not only lias the hlackhand but also the blacklist.
-:o:
All eyes are now turned on the political weathercock —
Maine.
-:o:
President Wilson in his campaign has chosen “the easiest
way.”
-:o:
The Turkish sultan has written a poem. For once, our
hope rests with the censor.
-;0:
The world bv this time isn’t quite so bleak and disconso
late to the youngsters as it was this morning.
-:o;
The scars of the battle of the Marne are healed, says a dis
patch. How about the hearts of the mothers?
-;0;
-;0:
President Wilson evidently believes that staying close to
Shadow Lawn is the best way to conserve his place in the sun.
-:o:
Though Charles M. Schwab says great wealth brings un
happiness, it is not to he expected that anyone is going to pray
to escape.
-:o:
A Japanese military officer has been made military adviser
of the Chinese government. An application of international
jin jitsu.
-;o:
The Now York ballot will be eight feet long. Another ad
vantage in woman’s suffrage. The fair sex can do the ballot
up in “papers.”
-:o:
The Russian language is to bo taught in the University of
Washington. The fraternities and sorolities already speak a
rtishin’ language.
-:o;
Greece has been rendered so attenuated by the war that
there isn’t enough oil to keep the lighthouses going, so the bea
cons on the beach are dark.
-:o:
dust to crown a session filled with glorious deeds, congress
clipped out the provision in the general revenue bill to protect
the fishing industry of the Pacific northwest.
_-A •_
It is very significant that Italian lemon growers are wrap
ping their lemons intended for export to the United States in
papers on which are printed pleas for votes for President \\ il
son. It’s a wonder British Columbia shingle mills don’t fol
low the example and marke their product in like manner.
-:o:
Pod Tagore’s philisophy tinkles pleasurably in ears at
tuned to beautiful laziness, but there’s little in India to satisfy
Caucasian virility and the human desire for a full dinner pail.
Ram Chadrn, a prominent Hindu of San Francisco, says wages
of laborers in India run from $7 to $11 a year.
-:o:
Now they propose to remove “damn” from the Episcopal
prayer hook and substitute tin* word “condemn.” Syllable by
syllable the gentle reformer is eliminating the last thrills from
eccesiastical literature. Our hymns have been dehorned and
the ominous tang of brimstone no longer hangs about the altar
cloth.
-:n:
“ Why pay extortionate prices to speculators when good
seats are on sale at the box office four weeks in advance at re
gular prices? TIiis is the only way we can suggest to avoid the
annoyances our patrons have experienced through speculat
• ors.” This excerpt from an advertisement of a big motion pic
ture production in New York shows how the metropolis takes to
movies. All the nation has the habit.
-:o:
BASEBALL AND WAR
In bloody relation, there might seem to be little connec
tion between the two. However, it is never well to judge with
out a little inquiry. Baseball is a good training for war, de
clares a story sent out by tin* publicity bureau of the United
States marine corps. Tin* lad who early shows his proficiency
at hurling a ball on the sand lots will find' his experience good
when it comes to throwing bombs and hand grenades.
Says this little publicity freak: “Americans are latently
I he best bomb and grenate throwers in the world and are cap
able of waging wonderful trench warfare in case of hostilities.”
For that reason, it says, baseball is encouraged at all the marine
stations.
Now the youngster who misses his dinner owing to a base
all engagement can plead he has enlisted in the nation wide
movement for preparedness.
