BY ALL MEANS CONSERVE ALASKA
Congress must have a spite against Alasqa;
for everything that come up it is either pruned
out of shape or knocked in the head or some
thing, it is our lawmakers’ liming and they
-etm to take advantage of their opportunity to
improve it. They are wise, for the time will
'' ire when Alaspa shall be in a position to even
up what appears as a game of spite. All Alas
ka’s friends—and there are many—have been
very active in their effort to secure a reasonable
rppropriation and other things; including the
leasing of ccal land system of the states, all in
vain. The house cut the appropriation down by
more than five million dollars; now conies the
news that Alaska’s coal must be conserved. But
after all we have no right to expect anything,
for we have no voice in that lawmaking body.
A returning visitor to Seattle says that dur
ittg the recent trouble in that city the bolshe
ists circulated a handbill suggesting many
changes and to justify action it said i npart:
"They did it in Russia; why not here7” It is
n-s-ib’e that they did itin Russia; and likely
they did; but it will lie well for the American
holshevists to remember that they did it to
Russians there; and not to Americans here.
\ MERIC AN SOLDIERS EXONORATED
Our soldiers in France have been exonerated
the charge that some of them—deserters it
avos said, were responsible for a wave of crimes
;r ”:uis. Automobile robberies, burglaries of a
mculiarly bold type and other offenses had been
id to them. Rut high Parisian officials are now
-nreuaded <hat the crimes were the w'ork of
• ii.-c’ie •" disguised as American soldiers, and
they have not only acquitted American soldiers
Vt have commended American authorities for
highly intelligent cooperation they have
rnlied in enforcing the law and bringing the
• 1 culprits to justice.
It would have been nothing to wonder at if.
in an expeditionary force of some two million
men cosen under a draft which reached into
every corner of the social order, some lawless
~ne had been sent overseas, or if in the period
<.f relaxation following the signing of the arm
Mice there bad been an outbreak of offending
here and there. But it now appears that not
ven this has come to pass. Discipline has been
• :>’} maintained, the honor of the army has
been upheld and the American soldier has con
ducted himself as a gentleman everywhere he
Kas gone.
We like to believe that experience in the army
1 as ohered even those who otherwise would
have been inclined to lawlessness. It probo
b!y has done that very thing. No normal man
can have passed through the ordeal without ac
muring v holesome respect for order, or realiz
the value of social as well as military disci
There has been no crime wave among
the ‘ mericans abroad, and it is inconceivable
that these men when they return home will be
• h‘ eke than a sustaining influence against
outlawry.-—Oregonian.
