GREATEST JOKES OF THE CENTURY.
In the final debate on the army bill in the house, Represen
tative Gardner; of Massachusetts, greatly amused his auditors
b\ declaring “that the two greatest jokes of the twentieth cou
ture have been perpetuated within the last year.
“The first joke,” he went on, “was when Bryan resigned
from tin* cabinet because President Wilson was too much of a
Hotspur. The second joke was given when we were forced
to send the entire United Stales army to fight one murderer
and' a parcel of magmuffins.”
A third joke, worthy to be added to these, is the recent dec
laration of Henrv Ford, who believes that no nation should be
prepared to defend itself, Chat he doesn’t know anything about
history, and doesn’t want to—Minneapolis Journal.

DEBTORS TO COL. RICHARDSON.
The appropriation by Congress ot $o()0,(MM) tor Alaskan |
roads is additional evidence of the groat debt ot gratitude j
owing by the people of Alaska to Col. Richardson, more than I
any other influence, who has kept the policy alive during all
the years that has followed. He has talked millions out of
congress for the roads of the north.
And, general I v speaking, these millions ot dollars ba\“
hi mi well spent. The government and the people of Alaska j
have been given 100 cents of value per dollar ot expenditure. |
As a result of the work of the road commission, of which Col. j
Richardson has been the head ever since its organization. I
means of travel in Alaska has been immensely improved. Tliej
read development has given ns automobiles to run where pack!
train were formerly used, and many men are employed in mines
that would never have been opened if Col. Richardson’s road
and trail makers had not followed the discoverers ot gold.
This new appropriation, it is believed, marks the inaugu
ration of a road building policy on a much larger scale. It is
the beginning of the fruition of the repeated recommendations
of Col Richardson and Gov. Strong that millions are expended
in the development of a comprehensive road construction
policy for the government.—Juneau Empire.

HUMANIZING THE CORPORATION.
The old saying that corporations have no souls lias been
used many times to characterize their alleged heartlessness.
It has not been as often understood to constitute a handicap to
them, lmt there is no doubt that a corporation suffers a disad
vantage, and a serious one, in business even it it is only found
ed on sentiment, as compared with an indi\idual, because it
has no personality. This lack it is the duty of the management
to supply as far as can be through utilizing the individuality
of the officers. Of two electric railways which are giving good
service, that one will en.jov the greatest public favor in which
the personality of the management enters. Such a situation
often occurs in the case of run-down proproties which have
been taken over by new managers and successfully rejuvenated.
Her,, tbe public can give credit where credit is due, and it usu
ally does so. Hut with the older and' long established company
the task is more difficult, though none the less important. So
long as tin* patrons of a railway look upon it merely as a trans
portation producing machine, with no personality behind it.
a friendly attilode i- impossibt *. It is perfectly natural, there- j
fore, that the popular electric railways should, as a veule, bcj
those which make an effort to develop this individuality or per
sonality through their leading executive officers.—Electric
Railway Journal.

NEWSPAPER COST.
War conditions have caused advances in prices in many
lines of merchandise and the like, and, while much has been
said on that score, comparatively little has been mentioned of
the way the newspapers have hgd to pay far higher charges
for most of their important supplies.
The cost of print paper has advanced very materially.
The prices of inks have advanced.
There are many other supplies that enter into newspaper
printing that also cost much more now than they did a few
months or a year ago.
Yet the newspapers are the very last to take any steps
whatever in advancing their prices and they certainly make
no move to try to cut down the wage scale.
These are facts that all friends of the newspapers ought to
take into consideration and further manifestations of the en
terprise, progress and determination shown by the newspapers
under all conditions in seeking continually to give their pat
rons the best than can be furnished them in the way of news
paper endeavor.—Exchange.
