NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 9, 1917.
The net result o£ Mr. Hughes’ cam
paign seems to have been to put
nearly four million dollars and Hiram
Johnson Into active circulation.
General Pershing is not much in
the limelight just now apparently. In
his Mexico experience he seemed to
go through three political stages. He
and soon atferward the initiative was
taken from him. After a long wait
he was given the recall and now he
is leading a quiet life once more.
During the last session there were
experimentally Installed In the cloak
rooms of the senate electrical instru
ments which reproduce the handwrit
ing of an operator at the other end
of a wire in the senate chamber, and
which graphically show just what is
taking place in the chamber from
moment to moment. It is the purpose
to equip each of the senators’ private
offices with similar instruments so
that they will not have to be present
In the chamber except when matters
in which the/ if - int-rested are hap
pening.
An Indiana paper has the following
"Wives and children of nord\ wage
earners of RushvlUe will be given one
meal a day at the community dining
table which will be started here Jan.
first. The dining table w’i be main
tained by donations."’ The paragraph
is ironical either by accident or de.
sign. "Needy wage earne.V is a
good express! in. If mer. work and
do not earn enough to feet I > r wi> se
and children there is som.tb.ng radi
cally wrong with the sy • . .n under
which the.' attempt to li\“ There is,
is so jrc", a community table where
they are given something to eat once
a day and this table is supported by
donations. It would be interesting
to know who the donors are und how
they happen to earn enough to feed
others as well as themselves.
President Wilson’es idea that this
is a one-man government seems to
have taken hold In the minds of some
of his party co-workers. When
Thomas W. Lawson of Boston, wired
Chairman llent-y, of the house com
mittee on rules, that he had evidence
n guiding the leak of information in
advance of the publication of the
p'fluent's peace note, Henry replied
with a wire asking that Lawson go
to "Washington and “submit your evi
dence to me and it will have consid
eration." All the other members of

'.orclary of the Treasury William
G ..IcAdoo, in an interview', says that
theie is no cost of living problem,
that we have so much wealth that we
should not complain ; bout the in
crease in prices but should thank God, ;
mo rung and evening for our great i
prosperity. This is the same secre
taiy who scouts the idea that there
is ary evasion ot. the income tax
worth w to i y nig bout £>!';.iness is
rot only a severe affli.- ;or for a man
of the secretary s t'f.r and wide in
terests in life, but carping critics
might even consider ttiat it impaired
the usefulness of the head of the
government's greatest department.
That the secretary cannot see that
there is a cost of living problem cer
tainly indicates that he needs glasses, j
But even if he wore them there are;
a good many vital facts that might
escape his attention because of his |
having the wrong viewpoint.
Tlie St. Louis Republican has this J
to say on preparedness und universal !
service: Let us make ready. Let us
train all our sons. We shall not slin- J
ply be prepared for war. We ahull |
be making ready for a deeper and!
fuller and securer national life. Wo j
shall be weeding out of our hearts
and lives the cowardice and sloth- j
fulness which have marred our rela
tion to our country and giving our
better selves a chance We shall be
doing away with artificial distinctions I
and class differences and invoking the j
only principle on vvhch a nation may
safely rest—that of a democracy bused
on common devotion to the common
good and common service to the com
mnwoalth
