NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 21, 1917.
)
Times have changed, and also the
people and their ideals of great men.
Washigton and Lincoln would not
measure high by present standards
for they did not keep the country out I
of war Quite the contrary. Oh,
Will.
In all the list of commodities that
have jumped in price there seems to
be only one glimmer of brightness.
Dentists have announced that there is
nc likelihood of advance in price of
•rookery Kelli so that there is no j"eJ
foi any one to lay in a supply for
future needs
People who arc dependent on what
they earn have a right to be pessi
mistic this year There is one less day
than lust year had and, worse than
that, there is one less Saturday on
which day most pay checks are pass
ed over for work done It is indeed a
gloomy outlook.
Frederick Funston who died on
Monday night was asked only a year
ago if a life of risk and adventure
such as he had led really paid. His
reply was that it did for the man
v ho won in such a perilous game. The
loters he considered would have been
bi ‘ter off in the conventional walks of
I'te. There are some, however, who
love adventure so much that they
would rather risk and lose, than not
to risk at all.
1 ast night's dispatch announcing
tl e sailing of American ships to the
v ar zone did not state whether they
cuiped guns. The chances are that
•hey did and that any submarine
wlieh attacks will bo fired on. It
would seem that this complicates the
situation, especailly if the Ameri
- r> ship tires the first shot. And it
hard to conceive of any merchant
ship being shot in case any except
the first shot in case the torpedo
si ould hit the mark. The situation
dues Indeed seem to be somewhat del
if ate.
There is surely something radical
ly wrong about our economic system
when bread costs twice as much in
this country which is at peace as it
does in Kngland which has been two
years and a half at war. Additional
stiength is given to the complaint when
it is considered that the United States
mires more than enough grain for do
mestic use and is able to export great
quantities. There is no bread famine
in America, no shortage of wheat. It
is merely that famine prices prevail
when there is no famine. An 'artificial
condition surely exists. With plenty
of flour, in spite of our exports, we
aif charged prices that have been
lifted by one means and another In
the whole list of commodities whose
pi Ices have been raised, tlie consumer
has to pay high but the producer
gets very little more than formerly.
The profits are extracted somewhere
between the producer and the con
s' raer Just where it is done and
how it is done is what the investi
gators are trying to find out. And
if they ever do find out, an even great
er problem will be presented In finding
tli" remedy. it is suggest'd that
probably England's cheap bread is due
*o government regulation of the food
supply and prices. Is not the war
pointing the way lo other bt ueflenc*
changes than prohibition
The plan for ait international court
which has been tentatively agreed to
hj the l'lilted States, England, Ger
many, France and other powers after
the war was ended for the purpose of
the war to ensure peace la
the future, is fascinating to
n.r.n> people, it has been strongly
advocated by such great lawyers as
forme' President Taft and Ellhu
Ueot. Ju his address before the in
i i national league to enforce peace
id.. Taft renewed his advocacy of ‘his
p'an, but with the admission that if
a country refused to be bound by the
decree of any such tribunal, it would
be forced” lo accept its decrees, if
in t by ostracism in trade, by some
vil er means.
In this country we are so accus
tomed to considering that ilnaj decrees
of courts settle entirely the issues be
fore them that we are inclined to
overlook the fact ‘.hat courts, as such,
have no power lo enforce their deeis
mis, but must always look to the
firvutive arm for that. There is one
1..stone instance which is worth re
coiling, involving an unpleasant chap
ter in American history. The federal
gci eminent, b> solemn treaty had
a1 sured the Chemkees of absolute title
'v. their lands within the state of
i ci rgia and permitted them to estab
hfl a quasi independent government
of ‘heir own there
Georgia, impatient to gel rid of
the. Cherokees passed several acts
dt signed to deprive the Cherokees of
their lands apid their other treaty
lights. The supreme court of the
bitted States, m a d a on ren le •‘d
bj Chief Justice Marshall, held all
this acts of the Georgia legislature
to be unconstitutional. Andrew Jack
son, then presidnet, being an old In
dian fighter and in sympathy with
the attitude of Georgia, made *his
remark: “John Marshall has made
the decision; now let him enforce it.”
The court was powerless; Its de- i
cis on was ignored: the unconstitution
al laws of the Georgia legislature;
were enforced; their lands were for
filrd and the good faith of the United
Siates was discredited.
So with an international court.
It would be powerless, withou" a
military arm to enforce respect for its
i.eisions upon all countries.
SHE SHOWED CAUSE.
My husband has deserted 'me and
1 want a warrant," aunouneisl 'he
large lady.
‘ What reason did he give for de
serting you?" asked the prosecutor.
T don't want any lip from you. I
want a warrant. I don't know what
rt nson he had.”
'T think I understand Ilia reason,”
said the official feebly, as he pro
ceeded to draw up the warrant.
