REMARKING EX I v
If the Huns feel that the r ■ ; -rates are
crowding them too much. ;hoy shoe' 1 explain
this to General Foch, and h . that the
crowding would cease no dot r who wants
to injure men who have been r men, bum
ing houses, crucifying soldier-- i tg deserts
of fertile lands and turning '• 1 ' - on earth?
These gentle benefactors of h race must
not be “crowded." On the c-.-.-r av; hey should
be allowed to have whatever P y They j
thought that was going - ' he '• and to j
crowd them now against -v > - would be!
a real disappointment, wh*. h >t obtain.;
Personally, we fail to so h tent man j
can fail to sympathize v ' :h the extent
of the smypathy they get vl’l a measure j
the amount of spiritless, lev-: h : ' cattle we j
have “in our midst." How ear.; vl who has j
human sympathies and v'-. 1 by true!
stories of distress, get sot.: : ople who
have perpetrated ail the i : ' and un
imaginable outrages that Iv ' . his dread j
ful war? Meanwhile we ire: - r- -od to that
nation of cattle. Fv'.-lemA re longer!

RUSSIA’S REIGN O- "'P -R
—
The Russian reign of ten- ' h.- w lasted
about fifteen months, and does not
appear to have burned it-e' - ’ • its own
fury. But a hideous thing itch - An Bol
shevism cannot last . d by
very monstrosity.
Opponents of Bolshevi-m Pr declare
that the reign of terror is tl ••••’ ’ not more
than ten per cent of the nr - ’ a number
of coteries of self- ■ nen and
fanatics. They have been r for this
statement and asked why r r 'e ninety
per cent get busy and rest- - ' But the
truth of the matter is that tl: - cent have
the power.. They
various reasons, one of which is that the Bolshe
vist will descend to depths of savagery to which
the decent citizens in the ninety per cent of the
people are incapable of reaching. It is in truth
a reign of terror. There have been reigns of
terror governed by but one man, or a group of
half a dozen men. There is nothing impossible
about the statement that in Russia the power is
in the hands of ten per cent of the people, and
lowest and mostdegraded at that. But perhaps
another six months will see the end of it.
From all reports, the peace makers are worry
ing considerable over the restlessnes prevailing
in Hungary. But why should they? Why not
leave it to the careof theCzecho-Slovoks asRussia
was left to the bolshevists. There are only about J
ten million Czeeho-Slovaks, but they appear to
be wonders, for they do not hesitate to tackle
a job that scares the great powers. All there is
to do is to tell the Czeeho-Slovaks to go to it. I
In buying coal says an exchange, count the
sacks. Dealers aim to be honest, but there are
contingencies against which they cannot guard, j
Sometimes it’s a question to whom belongs the ■
last sack in theload.
A report says that the price of flour is advan
ein. and we wonder if our bakers will raise the I
price of doughnuts or enlarge the holes and sell
them at the old price. Our stomach would much
prefer the latter.
Under the terms of a bill beforethe New York
legislature, it would be unlawfull to sell eggs on
Sunday, but lawful to sell automobile supplies
Evidently in that state at least ideas of essen
tials change with the passing of the years.
That Valdez is due to get a superior steamship
service this summer is shown by the sailings
scheduled. That the steamship companies are
doing all in their power to alleviate conditions
in Alaska is shown by the placing of a larger
number of vessels onthe run than is actually need
•d to handle the limited tonnage coming to the'
territory. Despite continual fault-finding on the !
nart of many persons, it must be conceded in all i
•ess that Alaska has been well served in the
p:i:t by both companies. The boats could havei
been withdrawn entirely by their owners and |
given more lucrative charters on the Atlantic !
'?oa>t. or to the Orient. Of course it is admitted
that the companies have had no desire to aban
don the northern run, for fear of after-war con- 1
ditions; but nevertheless very thoughtful citi-!
zens must admit that Alaska has been served as
well as could be expected considering the limited
population of the territory.—Valdez Miner.
