HENRY FORD AS PUBLISHER.
"A foul and Ins money are soon
parted" is an old and true saying. This
is especially true when anyone goes
into the puhli. l iu ". business. The lat
,. , \ i nt ire i an i'aborate pamphlet
entitlt-d "Tin War Keeord" ol a west
, ni newspapor. "submitted to tin* peo
j le ot Illinois. Indiana. Iowa, Wiscon
•fin. Michigan," and possibly some
other states
The pamphlet is labeled "Number
one, indicating others are to follow,
and was compiled for Henry Ford,
late free trade landiilate for I'niled
Flint*'.'- senator in Michigan, dot.sled
by a protectionist This pamphlet is
of life paper and printed elaborately.
It must have oust Mr Ford from six
to eight cent- per ropy, and if the.
five Halos indh ..tod. together with
other- w -re nnoted. the edition
must have cost many thousands ol
dollars Perhaps it i, well that Mr
Ford has transferred tin mnnr.g ment
of hi* automohih- Innaness to tiis son.
At any rate, as Mr Ford is now going
in tin p ibli hing game he will need
all that lie can make in his h-giti
mato business ventures. The moment
a business man who knows nothing
about the publishing or newspaper
business listens to the call of per
sona) ambition and publishes pam
phlets or newspapers to gratify his
longing for publicity and "power," he
begins to flounder and slid - toward
bankruptcy, liven Mr. Ford with his
supposed great fortune, is not im
mure And when lie gels through
with his toy, Mr. Kind will find out
that he has gained nothing toil a lo
ot expensive experience.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
PEACE.
In a recent :dre-> on "The lie poll
sibiLL-s of l’e:we." Henry <' Kmery.
* fonuerly chairman ol tin* United
Stale"- tariff board under I’resident
Taft, said
■'Hut there are oilier reasons wav
we must live II]> to the principles of
permanent peace and a new order ot
society, based not on rival claims, but
on a reign of justice. It is not only |
a matter ot honor, lint a matter of j
practical wisdom, of protection to;
ourselves, of insurance to the world.;
We mast remember two tilings as we;
face the responsibility of vistory: j
The tirst is that there are no more
I . rot Inal problems; all problems are
today world problems . See-!
only, we need above all else. ,u this
juncture, clarity of purpose and san
ity of judgment. There is mi room lor
sentimentalism,''
Tht "reign of Justice" is certainly
much needed, hut no more now than
threi or ten years ago. The war did
not change this fundamental desire,
for "the reign of justice" inspired the
menders of this republic, and has
laei at the root of all human pro
gress Hut it does not and cannot
i,.ke the place of "rival national
claims." if by that is meant "na
tionality." for "nationality" means
"national justice." As McKmery says,
"1; (the reign of justice) is a matter
of protection to ourselves.”
Ikies Mr. Kmery mean to say that
the war has so altered the map of
human nature and ambition us to Bill)
merge national problems in the vor
tex of “world problems?" Is the
United States to take a subordinate
place, and is the world to come first
in the activities and attentions of
our people; If so, then »> better have
kept out of war and devoted our at
tention to our own country. If our
neighbor calls for help in tho name
of humanity, and we respond and as
sist, it is no reason why our first duty
thereafter shifts from our own family
to the family of the neighbor. Like
wise when the Ucltod States wont to
the rescuo of France and England
and Italy, our problems did not, after
victory and duty done, at once shift
from the United States to the nations
of Europe.
The best thing Mr. Emery said In
the address referred to was this:
"There is no room for sentimental
ism." True; and Mr. Wilson would
nave tile United States much further
trouble If ho would follow thla lu
Junction. One great danger to the
future of our republic is tho nebulous
sentimentalism which passes for
statesmanship. With due respect lor
tin- position Mr. Wilson occupies. It
must nevertheless be said, that his
addresses on the other side of tho
v; ter have been choice in diction
but common-place and Inconsequen
tial in meaning.
In discussing "The, Responsibilities
of Peace" most people who are Li the
habit of dealing with class-room
theories and abstract ideas, fail to
get down to facts and figures, which,
after all. alone count. The problem
of pence is one of serious facts ad
justed to practical human and na
tional ambitions and desires; not one
of theories to lie adjusted to existing
facts.
The only satisfactory peace adjust
ment for the United State.; is that
which promotes the material ; rid
mural interests of the United States
first. That means "nationality." not
v mid dreams.
The report that tthc traveler be
tween Seward and Anchorage la com
pelled to go between the two ter
mlnalH by dog teem after the vast
amount of money spent to build the
government railroad Is not encourag
ing to say the least. If winter traf
fic ovor the road cannot bo kept up
it will be of very little uso to Alaska,
as the steamships amply supply al
demands of tho people during the
summer months.—Valdez Miner.

It may be too ourly to congratulate
ourselves, but tho fact remains nev
ertheless that times are looking
brighter on Douglas island right now
thjui they have for a long time. Dur
ing quarantine days there was more
or less a spirit of depression hanging
over the community that nothing
could dispel.
The quarantine was raised a weel
ago and no new eases have appeared;
people have mingled at the differom
places of entertainment and theii
spirits have risen considerably Thi
weather Ins been a great factor slsi
in making the world look brighter. I1
has been so mild that it would almosl
seem as though spring has arrived
l-'olks have been able to got out o
doors and the walking is good, as tin
rain has taken all the sm>,v away.
Taking everything tub considers
tlon, the fine weather of the oas
several days and the spirit of uptim
ism that prevails among the people
we should say that wo are having '•
happy ending of a very sad and sur
rowful season. Douglas New
Consideration of Problem of How Best
To Dispose of Germans in U. S.
B, ROBERT COSMOS HARDING, ol th* Vigil™**.
What nr*' wo going to do and say to Germans when peace is estab
lished? Shall we export them? Or shall we endeavor to teach then
the fundamental principles of civilization and humanity? What shall
wo do with the enemy or former enemy remaining within our gates:
Have you United States citizens considered their disposition? If yor
haven't it were better to pause and reflect immediately. For the question
is most vitallv vmirs. Humanity dictates forbearance. It points to tlie
past- to the tea* lungs of Christ, “(Jo and sin no more.” But those immor
tal words are scarcely applicable to Germans since l'.H l. Germans ltavt
violated oven code sacred to humanity and civilization, and, if allowec
freedom, will roiitmtie to commit deeds bearing the marks of barbarism
strongly. ('in umstaixes, education, ktiltur have molded the Germans
into scum. Tin v have made their bed ; let them lie in it. T* t those ol
that nationality who have glimpsed the light of truth in this country an*
have followed it, molest not; rather nourish.
To the real German close our gates forever. And the sooner th<
better. For with German propaganda spread from coast to coast* as inev
itably will he th* case unless we adopt stringent methods of combating it
fiendishncss. barbarism, kultur, militarism and what not will drown tin
elements for which we are fighting and the glorious Stars and Strip's wil
become it black eagle.
Therefor*, until the German shall have become an integral part ol
advanced civilization and honor, in fitting manner, justice, ostracism w* re
the best * otir> ■ and our teachings must be from a distance, for threats,
punishments, outcasting seems to have absolutely no influence. Nor is it
onlv the German crown but each and every citizen of Germany who bears
the label ‘ Hellish Jlunism.”
