CORDOVA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, JANUARY i>, 11)17.
TIME TO CALL A HALT.
The statement that all children under seven years of age in
Poland had died of exposure and hunger, ought to be enough to
prompt the neutral nations to unite in a stern demand that the
belligerent nations shall call a halt and' try some other means to
settle their differences than to continue their present brutal
methods.
Two and a half years of wholesale killing looting has filled
Europe with despair, but not one perceptable sign of victory or
even of progress toward victory is perceptable through the
gloom.
And surely there has been destruction enough. When it
comes to starving to death the children of millions of people,
that indicates a condition against which all the world has a
right to protest. To say that such a protest would avail nothing
is to say that civilization is about leaving the earth, and that
mind has ceased to have any influence over matter.
We still cling to the belief that if President Wilson would
call upon all neutral nations to send delegates to Washington
to try in convention to formulate something to influence the
fighting powers to cease their warfare and call reason to their
aid, it would be the right thing to do.
When an irresistible wave strikes an immovable rock, the
only result is that the rock loses some fragments and the wave
is shattered into spray. The sword has failed in Europe; it is
time to try some other method.

POLITICS A COSTLY PASTIME.
How much does it cost to finance a national political cam
paign? Speaking in the vernacular, it costs a “heap.”
The final tabulations of the expenditures of the Democratic
and Republican national campaigns, as reported to the clerk of
the national house of representatives under the provisions of
the federal corrupt practices act, have just been completed, and
the result is more or less astonishing.
It has been a gigantic task to make the compilations, as the
expenditures have been scattered among many reports, involv
ing a vast deal of segregation of items and additions, which re
quired both time and patience.
Seventeen different organizations, or individuals repre
senting organizations, were busy during the recent campaign
collecting and disbursing funds in aid of the election of Charles
Iv Hughes, the Republican candidate for president. Meanwhile
six were just as busy collecting and disbursing money to pro
mote the re-election of President Wilson.
This was a decided innovation as compared with former
campaigns, when the collections and’ disbursements were made
entirely, or practically so, through the national and congres
sional local committees of the political parties.
In the recent campaign the disbursements from all sources
to aid in the re-election of Wilson and Marshall, as reported to
1 lie clerk of the house, reached a combined total of $1,958,508.79,
and the amount reported as having l>een disbursed to “put
across” Charles E. Hughes is $3,829,260.02. The total of the
combined disbursements of the two great campaigns—Demo
cratic and Republican—as officially reported, is $5,787,768,81.

days, this amount seems astonishingly large.
The clerk’s office has not heard a suspicion of scandal ex
pressed in any quarter as to the expenditure of these funds,
however, and it is generally believed that the money was paid
out for legitimate campaign purposes. This year more atten
tion was paid to publicity than ever before, and there was a
large outlay for page advertisements in daily newspapers, mo
tion pictures and the like. The Republicans report nearly $nOU,
000 spent for publicity. \

Peace proposals furnish food' for a lot of discussion, but
unless they progress farther they will not yield the nourishment
the world needs.

Germany may be playing a shrewd game in forcing the
allies to exhaust their invectives in the controversy over the
naming of terms.
-:o:
Whether or not prosperity is psychological, as President
Wilson declared a couple of years ago, it appears from the fact
that Prof. Munsterberg, the famous psychologist, left $o(X),000
that the two are not inimical.

Carranza, facing the growing danger of overthrow' by
Villa, is repeating the fruits of his purblind policy in obstruct

were on the heels of the fleeing outlaw.

--:o:
The Roumanian king told his parliament that the Rouman
ian army had struggled' against four combined enemies in a
manner “justifying Itoumania in looking to the future with ab
solute confidence.” Hysterical laughter, idiotic bombast or the
confidence of the blind?
-:o:
Do we gain the impression from what has been said that
the British brethren actually expect their German brethren to
lay all the cards on the table? Do the Germans expect, as their
plans apparently indicate, to bull the peace plans through?
Neyther, Samantha, both are now functioning in the improfun
dities of poker—bluff. “One’s afeard, the other dassent.”
Still we have faith that sense finally will percolate through the
ivories of the animals and that they will come down to brass
tacks.
