ON ALASKA r'LAULKS
(Sat tie P.-I.)
Alaska snouiu Lie uue for a great
season of mining development next
year, -iluctt prospecting Work has been
accomplished during tile past summer
due in u great measure to tile pi utilise
of early railroad transportation, me
opening up ul me coal heius, and loci
cheapening of fuel. These activities
are outlined by AUl'ed 11. iirouKS, gov
ernment geologist, in cliarge of tin
division of Alaska mineral resources,
.11 a recent rupurL
The area of ptacer mining is be
lieved to have been uxteriued by re
cant piospecling. Nearly six thousand
men are now engaged in placer min
ing, and it forms an important part o
the industry of the leniiory. Cheapen ,
fuel will stimulate the working of
lower grade gravels, and increase the
output of the gold.
Doid lode mining will also be slim
ulated by this seasons prospecting.
Capitalists are taking much Interest
in its possibilities, and there will be
large sums of money invested next
year in the Juneau, Valdez and thi
South Central Alaska districts. The
coming year should be a notable one i
not only in mining, but In every ma
terial activity'.
NEW ARMY STYLES.
(Saturday Evening Post.)
New kinds of clothes are being in
vented in great number for the armies
in European trencncs. Some are Lkely!
to prove their worth and become stand
ard clothes for outdoor wear in the
future. The most novel is a French
device of knit goods, which may be
adapted for a dozen uses, from waist
band or trousers to a head covering
for protection in cold winds.
It Is simply a long and rather nar-,
row strip of knit goods, with a slot
a few inches long at the exact center.
On half of each edge of the strip arc
sewed buttons, and on the other half
of each edge are buttonholes. As the'
goods easily stretches, and as any edge j
will botton to any other a surprising1
number of combinations is possible. .. j
An English garment that is being
supplied to many officers at the front \
Is a rubber coat, which is fur lined. A
queer sleeping bag, of rather limited t
use before the war, has been much In,
demand among tho English forces, be- j
cause it does not interfere with quick
action in case of a night attack by the
| enemy. li is practically a quilted

BUSINESS AND ITS BOSSES.
(.New York Sun.)
According to Attorney General Greg
ory's recent brief in the International
Harvester case. The question is. Shun
competition, not combination,’ be tiu
.aw of trade?”
Competition never was the law ot
uaue. it useu to be said mat it was
both the law and the life of trude,
but tt was neither; The hope of won.
is the life of trade, and opportunity
, l'ur profit is the law of it. When ana
as fast as traders, that Is, business
men, discovered tout competion kiliet ,
protits and therefore killed trade, they
endeavored to preserve both trade and ,
profit through combination. In modern
times combination as the protector ol j
profit is the law of trade, a law su
perior to all statutory enactments.
Despite the wild assumptions of
contemporary politics, trade cannot be
carried on without risk. To compen
sate for risk there must be profit.
Competition increases risk and tends
to diminish profit. Combination seeks
to conserve profit and minimize risk
What politics has been trying to do
through government in recent years
lias been to limit the profits and en
hance the risk through a statutory
compulsion of competition.
There is need of a new political
synthesis which will harmonize the
hypotheses on which governmental ac
tion Is today based. Only the wildest
contradiction appoars between pro
ceedings like the attorney general’s In
tho Harvester trust case and the new
elaborate apparatus of law denoted
by tho federal trade commission
A QUESTION.
(Boston Record.)
Suffrage and anti-suffrage argu
ments are of various kinds and of va
rious worth. Listen to them all; but
don’t swallow them without chewing!
Give real attention to all you hear.
For Instance, here Is something that
first appeared, wo believe, In tho New
York Evening Post. It Is pertinent:
What Is required, at present, of a
man before ho can vote in the United
States?
He must bo 21 years old.
Ho must be native-born or natural
ized.
In some states ho must bo able to

lie is not asked whether he will use
! his vote.
He Is not asked if all men want to
vote.
He U not asked If he thinks the laws
cbAtUglxig.
He Is not asked If fw will promise to
better the laws.
He U not asked to give statistics
showing whether men have previously
used their votes to better the laws.
He is not asked if he is sure he can \
still be a good father.
He is not asked to "remain attrac
tive" after he votes
But ail such requirements and more,
are made of women when they aspire
to vote.
Here's the question: Hoes or does
not Justice demand that woman be
given the legal right to vote on an
equality with man? Most of the ar
gumenta go around In a circle and come
back to that question. What do you
think?

THOUGHTS OF WALKING.
tColumbua evening Dispatch.)
Walking la man • natural mode oi
.ransportation. Tue muscles and nerves
and bones of the body are in a natural
position only when he stunds upon hlr
ieel. So walking must be the rnosi
perfect exercise.
; Many of the statesmen of the world j
as Well as rnauy of the leading busi
ness men, walk to and fro across a
room when dictating their speeches or
working .u.t their commercial prob
lems. T.i°y do not know why. per-j
..aps. But Hu nmu is, the mind is
more alert wneu one is standiug or
walking ihan when he is silting down.
The mind is influenced or aifecle
oy the muscles and nerves, of Course,
by the digestive apparatus, if you
please, and therefore by every posi
lon or motion of the body. The same'
.noughts will not flow through one's j
mind when he is lying down that
aould flow through if he were sluing
upright or standiug. The same line
of reasoning will not result. And ul
ways that which comes in the way of
thought when one is standing or waJk
.ng will be brighter and more logical
than where one is sitting or lyng.
There is nothing strange about this
—nothing whatever. If we had some
way Of knowing, the chances are we
should find that the great problems
of the world have been worked out
by men while upon their feet, or In
an upright position.
CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.
Again the eeason suggests the pleas
1 are of extending to our frlenda and
