TWO-FOLD PREPAREDNESS.
Advocates of a large standing army could' popularize their
plea if they would present a plan for educating the American
hoy who enlists in that tinny in some useful avocation to lie
followed after he leaves the military service. Parents might
encourage their sons to become regular soldiers if they knew,
that their boys while being trained in the tills of warfare, also
were being taught practical road building, steam shoveling
and ditch digging, equally serviceable in trench making and
arid or swamp land reclamation.
There would* be less objection to the array if at the end of
a three or five year enlistment the man might come out of it as
ti practical engineer or mechanic, fitted to enter at' once into
peaceful pursuits.
MARSHAL IS OFFENSIVELY OFFICIOUS.
Just why United States Marshal Brennenmn should dis
criminate against Cordova dealers in the shipment of liquor
to tiie interior towns along the railroad is a matter that is
causing considerable adverse criticism of that official, and so
far as we have boon able to learn he is exceeding his authority
in the premises. •
It is generally reported that this is the only town in the
division where such an order has been issued, the dealers in
Valdez and other places being allowed to make shipments bv
boat and otherwise to neighboring camps. The mail order
houses in the States, who pay no federal licenses in Alaska,
are also allowed to sell their wares, whereas a ban has been
placed on the local dealers. We understand the railroad, be
ing a common carrier and under the sole jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, will not refuse to accept
shipments of liquor, or any other business offered.
This arbitrary edict issued by the marshal should' be
thoroughly investigated, and if the proper fight is made that
official may be forced to rescind the order, which is depriving
legalized dealers of a certain amount of business that they are
entitled to under the law.

. The Wickers ha m-Khackle ford combination has been suc
cessful in the primaries of the First division, almost without
exception. This brings the delegate back into the fold as a
regular standpat Republican. But what the result may be
when the* people of the territory come to cast their votes is an
other matter. Wickersham has many warm friends, who will
hesitate when it comes to Shackleford, whose name has become
almost a svnonyin for crooked politics and unfair combina
tions.—Douglas News.
University of Washington students to whom soldier life
is fatigue and sorrow, will observe that the students of the
University of Pennsylvania, which is some college, have peti
tioned for military drill. It won’t be a great while before a
captaincy in the University of Washington cadet corps will be
decorated' with as many honors as an aeronaut at a country
fair.
An exchange refers to tin* residents of Anchorage as
“Anchorites.” The dictionary says that an “anchorite” is
“one who retires from society into a desert or solitary place to

While we contemplate with horror tin* slaughter in Eu
rope, let us remember that there were (530,(XX) unnecessary
deaths in the United States last year. Carelessness may be as
fatal as heavy artillery, and lack of proper sanitation as dan
gerous as bullets and hand' grenades.
It is said that carpet factories are about to close down,
having run out of dyes. When the carpets are all worn out
there’ll be no more to beat, and life altogether has a sweeter
aspect. War is not so undesirable.

Professor Irving T. Fisher, of Yale, says a baby is worth
$90. If he is able to strike a bargain with any fond parents
for their ootsy wootsy darling at that quotation we’ll take it '
off his hands at $90.50.
National pride has been so crushed to earth by humiliat-1
ing disclosures of weakness that an opportunity to show again j
the spirit of 7(>, of ’<il and ’98 may not be without gratifying
features.

With the menace of Russia on one side and the terror of
greater Bulgaria on the other, the Ki^k Man ot Europe is look
ing sicker now than ever before.
The door of opportunity is not always a golden portal.
Sometimes it is a crack in a fence that has to be squeezed
through painfully.
