GREAT BRITAIN’S NERVE.
For more Ilian seventy years
Great Britain lias profited by the
opium traffic in China, as a result
of an agreement made by which
China agreed not to prohibit the
importation of opium from India.
Cast year, in the internation
al rearrangements resulting from
the overthrow of tin* Manchus and
the establishment of the Chinese
republic, China succeeded in ob
taining from England a solemn
treaty agreement not to interfere
with any measures that China
might take for the suppression
of the opium traffic and the re
striction of the destructive opium
vice, and China then proceeded to
place the ban on the use of op
ium. Now England has made a
demand upon China for “compen
sation" for “losses" of British
speculators in Chinese vice. The
British speculators have about
$50,000,000 worth of opium which
they cannot get into China and
I hey want China t.b-pay for it.
There’s about as much sense
in that as there would be in burg
-lars demanding indemnity and
“compensation from firms that
had put in burglar proof safes.
A REMARKABLE RECORD.
H. It. I.apham, of l.orton, Va.,
was a member of the Ninth Kan
sas cavalry during the war. Re
cently he applied for a pension.
Thereupon this astonishing
situation became known: No
member of the Ninth Kansas has
ever drawn a pension and Lapham
is the'first to apply for a pen
sion. In order to have his appli
cation considered he must get five
other members of the regiment to
apply for pensions.
The record of the Ninth Kan
sas comes as a refreshing relief
from the record of pension waste,
extravagance and diserimination.
The money devoted In special and
undeserved pensions would keep
every pensioner in luxury for the
rest of his days.
SUGAR AND TE TARIFF.
The average ••American con
sumes eighty-three pounds of
sugar- each year and only ten
pounds of iTiis is grown in this
country. The Department of Ag
riculture uses these figures as ar
guments showing why American
farmers should pay more atten
tion to the culture of sugar beets.
These same figures might he
used as. an argument in favor of
the reduction or removal of the
tariff on sugar. It seems some
thing of a hardship to lax the
" consumers for a necessity only
one-tenth of which is supplied by
local producers.
EDITORIAL MOTES.
The Balkan states are now tak
ing- the direct route towards
peace.
It may dawn upon the Turk one
of these days that he is nut want
ed in Europe.
That Cordova irajn is a long
time in reaching Chit inn with the
interior mail.
Outside papers bring the infor
mation that cabbage is going up.
Probably out of sympathy with
beef.
President Wilson will find that
a western man not imbued with
the ideoeyncracies of Pinchotism
will save hini many a sleepless
night during his four years in the
White (House, for we are all given
In making a noise when we are
hurl.
J. Pierpont Morgan has gone to
Egypt in search of buried treasr
ure. This then is an indication
that he has secured all that lies
above ground._
The marshal’s office is to be
highly commended for the prompt
action iauen in the matter of the
investigation into the conditions
existing at Tyonok.
The divergence in views on the
tariff question is due entirely to
the inability of some to distin
guish the difference between pro
tection and thievery.
A Chicago minister tried band
concerts and then vaudeville to
draw audiences and failed. He
might try religion and see whal
effect that would have.
(Sovcrnor Wilson’s message to
the New Jersey legislature is a
fair indication of the course he
will pursue when at the helm <>f
the general government.
The Cordova postofl’ice might
■keep a month's supply of Mont
gomery-Ward catalogs at Chitina
iso that I he stages might he said
to be carrying mail every (rip.
evidently “the latest news” is
not included in that splendid
postal service "sent” out of Cor
dova for the interior, by trains
i which do not run and in all prob
ability will not for some time yet.
-
j The Cordova Alaskan appears
to take some exception to reports
sent out from Valdez concerning
the non-delivery of mail front that
burg. If the Alaskan could get
anywhere near the truth in pub
lishing railroad news of its sec
tion, people might possibly place
some reliance in its utterances.
(treat forethought has been
[showed by the postal department
in keeping a large supply of last
year's almanacs in storage in the
Fairbanks postoffice so that mail
carriers going down the Yukon
can go loaded when the Copper
River railroad fails to put the mail
through. This, at least, should
satisfy the people of the interior.

It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
tOWn and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
