“THAT OLD QUESTION.”
London and Paris dispatches are again placing emphasis
on the unlikelihood of a speedy ending for the war. The nut
cracker is not cracking; it is bending back the Teutons on some
of the fronts, but that is all. The leaders of the allies realize
-.this; they know the task that is before them. The Germans pre
sent a formidable force in every theatre of the conflict. Even
the entrance of Roumania is not expected to bring an immediate
dent in the Teutonic lines. In fact, the fighting there so far j
has been even, a slice of Roumania for a slice of Bulgaria. —
Yet there can be no doubt that the Roumanian alliance with ;—
tin' entente is a blow to the Teutonic plans. It makes more dif- *
ficult the German route to the Levant; it smashes traffic down •'?
the Danube.
The caution of the allies’ leaders is seen in the following
paragraph of a dispatch sent from the headquarters of the -S
British army in France; ji
“Whether private soldier in shelter tent or general in his £
automobile, if you ask them that old question, ‘When do you I 3
think the war will be over?’ you get no opinion of any possible %
conclusion short-of next summer. They all take many months $
of fighting to come no less for granted than that Roumania’s S
entry and the artillery results in the Somme battle mean that $
the entente allies will dictate the terms of peace.”
MR. HUGHES’ POINTED COMMENT.
If tlu-re was justice in the act of congress in .passing an 5:
eight hour hill, did congress know it ? “Impossihle!” say many.
That could have heen determined only by a searching investi
gation. Most of the congressmen never were engineers, fire
men or conductors. They were not aware, from their own ex
perience, just how much the trainmen suffered under-a day
longer their eight hours. They had not the time to ascertain
the true condition before they voted. They knew that the ship
per eventually the consumer would pay the cost. They
were aware that what they were doing was “forced.” They
were threatened; so they acted, undoubtedly against the sense
of prudence the majority held'.
Therefore, Candidate Hughes’ emphatic denunciation of
the Adamson law is justified; the candidate appeals for justice.
11 is statements are frank, forceful and true. Mr. Hughes stands
for arbitration of industrial disputes; that is the modern, sen
sible way. “Investigate first and then legislate,” lie urges,
lie calls the Adamson law “a very deplorable surrender.” And
undoubtedlv the bulk of the American people feel the same way.

THE KNOCKER AND THE BOOSTER ;
W hen the Creator had made all the good and beautiful i ;
things, in order that they might be truly appreciated, lie made
then by way of contrast the beast and reptiles and poisonous ;
insects. >
When 111* had finished he had left over scraps that were ,
too bad to put ill the rattlesnake, the hyena ,the scorpion, or the I
kunk; so In* placed all those together, covered it w ith suspicion, i
wrapped it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak, and' j
called it a KN(>CKER. ;
Then as a compensation for this fearful product ho took ;
sunbeam and put in it the heart of a child, the love of a mother ;
and the brain of a man, wrapped these in civic pride, covered it
with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet, and a grasp of
steel, and called it a BOOSTER. Which did he make you! :
READY THIS TIME.
Villa ju-t won’t lie low until after election, as the Demo !
crats devoutly wish lie would. The administration leaders were j
getting lulled into a false sense of security, when along camej
the report of the bandit’s approach.
If all predictions do not fail, Villa will run into a different i
’ sort of a defense this time if he tries to cross the border. The j
preparation by the American forces should be sufficient to hold j
him at bay without much difficulty. This, of course, will prove _.
decisively that if the troops had been there before, as they
should have been, the raids across the lander never would have ^
occurred'. The comparative peace since the soldiers got on the
job is emphatic proof of tin* folly of delay by which the admin
istration sacrificed many lives.
The Valdez newspapers are not concealing the fact that
their circulations are increasing. Of course they are. Isn’t
Homy Derr Reynolds on the ground again, and in promoting
his various enterprise has sent out more than .'50,000 copies of ,
the Prospector and Miner? Henry is a business getter for the
newspapers ae least.
According to Forester Ringland a movement is on foot to
establish a two million dollar pulp mill on Prince William
Sound. By all means let Cordova go after that industry. The
Daily Times will agree to purchase all its paper from the new
plant, and that will help some.
The sun is shrinking at the rate of four hundred miles
every century, and will finally become cold, says a learned pro
fessor. We should worry. There “ain’t no such thing” as the
sun nohow.

The city council is seriously considering the improvement
of our already efficient fire department. This is a good move,
and the cheapest kind of insurance.
“Tax silks, not legal papers,” is tin* sound advice gi\< n
hv Congressman Johnson. The Democratic policy seems to be
to tax necessities, but let luxuries go.%
