REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE
The necessity of having a revenue cutter service stationed
permanently in Alaskan waters, during the winter season, i^
accentuated from time to time. When the revenue cutter I'na
laga was commissioned, it was understood' that the vessel was
to he kept in Alaskan waters throughout the year. As a matter
of fact, Alaskan waters have seen the cutter only for a brief
period during the summer season. The reason for this change
of plan is not definitely known. It was reported, some two or
llii-ee years ago, that the treasury department would make
Juneau the IJnalaga’s headquarters, if suitable dockage fa
cilities wore provided. There the matter seems to have since
rested, and the I'nalaga has spent the winter seasons in Ihtget
Sound waters or in those of California, ll the revenue cutter
were available in Alaska during the winter, opportunities to
render service would he all too plentiful, in all probability.
There are, unfortunately, every winter, numerous wrecks
coupled with the loss of life: and, while a revenue cutter could
hr* speedily enlisted for life saving purposes, and rendering
such other aid as might bo needed, I nder the present arrange
ments the revenue cutters are of no service to shipping in Alas
ka during the winter season.
If it is the lack of docking facilities in Juneau that alom
prevents the stationing of a revenue cutter here some means
might be found'to remove tin* difficulty even it it involved tin
building of a suitable dock by the government. Juneau ban

HIGHER PRICES.
Several of the larger interests, whose activities come with
in the inspection of the department *>t justice, under the Slid
man anti-trust law, have appealed to the government for tin
authority to raise prices, it being alleged that the higher cos
of materials makes an increase accessary. Among those win
have appealed arc two manufacturers of farm machinery, win
make the specific complaint that materials which formerly
avi nl into the manufacture of machinery now arc going into tin
tools of war.
It is just one phase of tin* economic changes produced Ip
“war business.”
Interest, too, is?found in the fact that those in governmen
employ known as the “trust busters” are unable to reply om
way or flu1 other to the manufacturers’ appeals, though tlup
offered to throw open their books and submit to an ex per
investigation. The busters said they were not allowed by lav
to give opinions in advance on matters involving construction:
of the anti-trust law.
These manufacturers can do one of two things—raisi
prices or go out of business. If they raise prices they accep
the hazard of fatal collision with a law the terms of which an
vague, and the construction of which is as uncertain as tin
outcome of a dog fight. It is not a pleasing state of affairs
We doubt if any other nation under the sun presents a parade
condition.
-:o:
It is time to show that this country Avill not adopt at hom<
its oav'11 foreign policy. Strength, and almost monarchical firm
ness, is needed to combat the fungi avc are harboring.
Government, state and city officials must start at the heat
of that Chicago society of anarchy Avhicli has denounced th<
efforts to capture the poison gang, and folloAV the rotten con
to its utmost strand.

If the Russians fought as well in the summer as they do ii
the winter history might have a different story to tell. Tlieii
magnificent effort in the Carpathians last winter Avas followed
by the humiliating defeat in Galicia Avlien the Aveather became
Avarm. Will their triumph in the Caucasus this year he fol
lowed by another setback?

Has the Avrathy god of Avar enticed the god of the sea tc
overwhelm Holland in order to Avipe out the last vestige of the
peace palace? Were Homer Avriting this war as he did the Aval
of Troy lie would see in the scares of inundations of the low
country something to that effect.
