SEWARa V1.ASKA. SATURDAY, MARCH 4 1916._
The order for meat for the railroad crews shows what a mighty task
must be that of feeding the armies of Europe. The amount of meat re
quired for about two thousand workers for one year is five hundred tons.
Just imagine how many animals that means, and then imagine what number
of animals would be required for two million men, and then go*on imagining
how many beasts will be devoured by ten million half-famished soldiers.
Bernard Shaw, a leading vegetarian, says a man who eats meat eats his
brothers—is a cannibal. Somehow, the very thought of all this devouring
of flesh rather illustrates the truth of what he says. Taking beef, mutton
and hogs to feed the railroad workers one probably would not bo far out in
saying that a thousand animals will be required for them during the year.
One thousand animals walking down human throats—sliding might be a bet
ter word, though. •
Some weeks ago this paper suggested something about having a city
council elected without polities. It gave its word that it was perfectly free
from any ulterior motive but it was apparently not believed. Still if we
would only remember how ridiculous people mako themselves in considering
these little town elections as great political struggles we should pause be
fore getting up our “unbridled passions.” It would really be a pleasure to
see the old town cut out the wire pulling and the cheap little squabbles if
such a thing were possible in any town in ad this world. However, the elec
tion is only a month away anil, maybe, we shall see a new order of things.
Unquestionably the best, the only course has been followed by Secretary
l ane in the effort to fix the wage schedule that ought to exist in Alaska.
The greatest possible fairness has been shown in giving the matter entirely
into the hands of the labor leaders. From the verdict ot those leaders the
men at Anchorage can hardly appeal or have reason to appeal. 'Ihe state
ment of Commissioner Mears that he will recommend an increase in wages
is also to be received with pleasure. The whole thing is going to end up as it
ought to end—with both sides satisfied. This paper may be permitted to
remind its readers that it stated long ago that the wages on the railroad
would be increased. It is likely that they would have been increased long
ago were it not for the fact that the funds ran low and the necessity for the
greatest economy possible became an irresistible temptation to make the
money last as long as it could be done. Everyone will be back of Mears and
all others recommending a wage increase. As this paper has said a hundred
times, big wages are better for everyone anil will attract men who will be a
benefit to the country in its development. For stating this the Gateway has
been accused of attacking the Engineering Commission, a most puerile ac
cusation which makes one smile.

(Special to Gateway by United Press)
DENVER, Colo., Feb. 22.—Colorado
under prohibition is more prosperous,
less inclined to get locked up in jail
and better off in many other ways,
according to dry reports from all
sections of the state today after near
ly two months' experience with the
dry law. In the Rockefeller mining
camps the saloons have been convert
ed into Y. M. C. A. buildings, in a few
instances. The Rockefeller company)
advised its miners to “cut out booze j
altogether.” Supplies in cellars arc j
-now beginning to grow scant and a
half dozen mail order houses in
Cheyenne, Wyo., report their Colo
rado business booming. Some of the j
men who engaged in mail order game
just before Colorado went dry were
poor but prohibition has literally
made them rich selling whiskey.
