NO STRADDLING HERE!
Governor Cox, who on Jackson Day
furiously denounced as near-traitors
the senators who refused to rubber
stamp the treaty and covenant as
they were brought home from Paris,
now gives it out that he is favoring
the inserting of reservations provid
ing that the covenant must always
keep us out of war, and that the
American people shall not be commit
ted under it except with the consent
of congress. That is all the senators
who sought to Americanize the treaty
have been contending for yet that is
what Governor Cox assailed them for
in such bitter terms. Governor Cox
is a foxy gentleman all right, much
given to the habit of trying to Avork
both sides of the political street. But
he will discover that here is a ques
tion upon which he will have to de
clare himself straight out, instead of
dodging around in a cloud of general
ities. It isn’t enough for Governor
Cox to say that he stands on the Dem
ocratic national platform and at the
same time that he isn’t in favor of
the consequences of such a position,
any more than he can on the liquor
question, successfully imitate the ex
ample of Oliver Wendell Holmes’
Yankee politician who was “fer the
laAv, but agin ^’s enforcement.
THRIFT STAMP SALES
Statistics recently issued by the
Goverment Savings Organization for
the Twelfth Federal Reserve District,
in which is included Alaska show
that for the first five months of this
year a total of $2,418,277 was invest
ed in Thrift and War Savings Stamps
and Federal Reserve Certificates in
the entire District. During that
same period Alaska sales amounted to
$47,904 in round figures.
While that sum does not seem
large, and is not especially impres
sive, at the same time it shows up
well with the other states and terri
tories in the district. It is equal
to the investment of Nevada and but
a few thousand dollars behind the
states of Arizona and Utah, and
more than three times the amount
purchased by Hawaii.. Based on es
timated census returns, it probably ex
ceeds per capita the investment of
any other state in the district.
Nevada’s total purchases amount to
but $47,912, or eight dollars more than
Alaska’s. Arizona’s investment is but
$55,133 while Utah purchases total
only $63,447. California leads the dis
trict with approximately $940,000,
Washington is second with $644,000,
and Oregon third with aBout $510,000.
The total for the entire nation is but
$26,985,842. In view of these figures
Alaska has no reason to feel ashamed
of its investment in these securities.
The campaign is being steadily con
tinued with all banks and o^her inter
ested institutions encouraging the
small investor. Officials of the sav
ings division of the treasury depart
ment feel that the period of loose
spending by the public following the
war is virtually at an end and that
the financial situation will stabilize it
self through sober thrift and saving
by the people and continued invest
ment in the securities of the govern
ment. These government securities
are paying four per cent interest,
compounded every three months, and
maturing in five years, offer a splen
did chance for the thrifty man to get
ahead. A dollar saved now means
twro dollars in buying power when
things return to normal.
VOICE OF THE
ALASKA PRESS
Maybe when the New York-to
Nome flyers reach Alaska they can
make better time. There won’t be
so many towns to stop at and once
those Yukon and Tanana Valley mos
quitos get after them, they won’t tarry
long at any one place.—Juneau Em
pire.
It would be a wonderful thing if
a camp that has been supported for
twenty or thirty years by gold mines
alone should at this late day be saved
by the humble spruce t or hemlock
that was scorned for so many years.
Stranger things than that have hap
pened.—Douglas Newrs.
Paper making on the coast of
Alaska is coming fast. With two big
projects practically under way near
Juneau it will only be a few months
until Alaska will add another great
resource to the riches of the nation.
Juneau is naturally making the first
step toward pulp production. With
enormous water powrer developed an
opportunity is presented.—Alaska Dis
patch.

The man who says his time is
money merely infers that your time
isn’t.
The less you reform people the
more likely they are to reform them
selves.
A man grumbles about household

The man who is always promising
to do something for you, is never
going to do it unless it will benefit
himself.
A man’s wife is the only person cf
his acquaintance wrho knows all his
meanness that doesn’t tell the world
about it.
He may pretend differently, but
every man secretly wishes he had
nothing to do most of the time and.
a lot of people to help him do it.
Tell the world your troubles and
it will pretend sympathy and break
away; tell it of your prosperity and
it will try to sell you something.
Income taxes wouldn’t be so pain
ful to pay if they bore some other
name than “taxes.” Nothing makes
a man madder than to have to pay
any kind of tax.
Even though two could live as i
cheaply as one—and they can’t by
more than half—every young man
should remember that in the game of
matrimony two isn’t the limit.
MOVEMENT TO STOP
CANING GIRL PUPILS
4
LONDON, July 27 (by Associated
Press).—Caning of girl pupils in ele- E
ers, a practice which has been gen- i
eral in England for many years, re
cently has become the subject of <
much criticism and the Daily Mail
has started an agitation for its aban- :
donment. Many letters have been
written the newspapers, the majority
of the writers advocating infliction
of corporal punishment of girls, when
necessary, by women teachers. They
protest that a sensitive girl may never
fully recover from the “shame of be
ing caned by a man.”
The Lord Mayor of Bristol, who had
30 years experience as headmaster of
a school, said he knew the practice
of men administering corporgl punish
ment to girls was common, but he
was opposed to it.
Only 1671 Out of 170,000
Ministers Pay Income Tax
--—-- —
Ministers are exempt from the
operation of the income tax law—
not through any specific exemption
in the law itself but because they
4o not earn enough money to come
WfChin the law's minimum require
ment. Oat of a total of 170,000
ministers in the United States, but
l,0f 1 receive a big enough salary
to be required to pay any Income
tax.
These incomes were not only pay
from churches but Included pri
vate earnings too. Hundreds of
ministers have been forced to en
gage in some occupation outside of
the ministry such as poultry rais
ing, harboring, market gardening,
eke., to earn enough to feed and
clothe their families. These figures

j “A SUPER-PRESIDENT IN MR. BARUCH” J;
“Barney Baruch—whoever he e
may be,” said Senator Sherman of
Illinois, recently in the senate. Rep
resentative William J. Graham of Illi
nois, chairman of the house war ex
penditures committee, evidently has
more information regarding Bernard
M. Baruch (portrait herewith). At
any rate, he said the other day, among
other things:
“Barney Baruch had more power
during the war than any other man
in the world.
“Barney Baruch controlled abso
lutely the food supply of the United
States.
“Barney Baruch originated the
price fixing policy for all commodities
and put it in operation.
“Barney Baruch regulated the
production of steel, copper, and iron,
and decreed their disposition.
“Barney Baruch had supreme au
thority over the by-products of the
coKe ovens of this country, and dominated at the sources of supply the ni
trates and fertilizers of the world.
“In fact, we actually had in the war a super-president in Mr. Baruch, as
head of the war industries board and intimate of Mr. Wilson here and in
Paris. Those are not ray statements I have given you, but replies under
oath made by Mr. Baruch in his examination before our committee.”

]\ 1 of ill pyi around fisheries really “live in their

tant item, and you should buy carefully. Don’t get a cheap

benefit of fifty years’ rubber experience—we know how to
make the rubber tougher—the boots will wear far longer
