why This delay*
There .> ret> -rt going the rounds that the
time will s. u be here when President Wilson
son will -cggest peace to the warring nations,
and that the suggestion will be readily ac
cepted and peace terms discussed. If the war
ring nations are anxious for peace, why de
lay the suggestion? Hasn't the war killed
enough l Hasn't the war brursg enough mis
ery that we must wait longer? We have of
ten heard that the United States could bring
peace with a little effort. Then what are we
waiting for?
It seems strange that we should continually
boast :f being a peaceful nation, a people who
mind ur :wn business, yet we allow the in
nocents to be brutualiy butchered by neglect
ing to Tried ur business, inere may be a law
against interfering between nations at war.
but it can niy be men's law and therefore
much infer: r t> human law that dictates the
protection f the weak and innocent. Oh. if
we . rJy had time to think of the women, child
ren and old men who are made to suffer by this
gTc.it war we might discover that it is due to
ur negiecT t mind our business. By all means,
if the United States can do something to bring

uUK LAWS NEED FIXING.
According t telegraphic news from Juneau.
Ed word Krau-e whose notoriety for disregard
of the laws has shamed every Alaskan, and
who was . r. vie ted by a ;ury of several crimes,
yesterday was ser.ter.:ed to be Imprisoned for
three years : r impersonating an officer and
ten years fcr kidnapping one William Christie.
For the first offense mentioned, three years
may be :oked upon as adequate; but for the
latter, it fads far short of what should have
been. &:•; .rdir.g to our opinion. Kidnapping is
a serious crime, particularly is tnis case as the
kidnapped p arty has disappeared completely.
No trace of him can be found which draws the
inference that he was done away with. In such
a case years _n prison is a farce and forces the
conclusion that : ur criminal laws need fixing.
No wonder the c ourt felt sorry that the maxi
mum penalty prescribed by the law was only
ten years.

YOUR GIRL?

Is she following the fashions set by the un
dressed chorus girls of the stage?
Is she bedecked in flimsy garments me&nts
to display the contour t a shapely figure?
Is her walking dress cut so low that one
would think she was on the way to the opera
and so high that the color of her stockings is
discernible
Archer fingers, neck and arms covered with
gaudy jewels, cheaply imitated on the five and
ten cen counters?
Is her face rouged and powdered with the
freedom of the brazen, demimonde?
Is she dining, drinking and dancing with the
giddy midnight throne in an atmosphere of ex
citement ?
Is she ;oy riding n Sundays and neglecting
the church of her father and mother?
Is the pursuit of pleasure, frivolity and fash
ion the consuming passion of her heart?
Is she going the pace in a restless desire to
shine in the blazing light of the cabaret and to
be known as one of thefast set?
Is she walking the primrose path of dalli
ance with no Thought of he tournee's dreadful
end ?
Are her company ns lifting her up or drag
ging her down?
Is she seeking the love of one true man or
basking in the sunshine of manv without man
hood?
Is modesty a mockery, the prayer book and
Bible relics of the past and mother's advice the
