SEW \RD, M ASK V. Till RSDAY* JUNE 8, 1916.
Some time ago the new* that U>0 people had been killed by a cyclone in
Arkansas would be considered important but them days is gone. Toila> the
killing of a few hundred people in our country or any other is but a trivial
occurrence which is noted by the correspondents only because they desire to
cover ail sources of intelligence. In tact such a story looks like wasting
space that could be tilled so much better by a decent bit of news like the sink
ing of a few dozen ships ami the drowning ot a few thousand men, including
several individuals, each of whom if he died in times oi peace would receive
columns for obituary notices.
We arc living in strange times that are sure to exercise a most remarkable
effect on the human mind. Only Heaven itself knows what the effect will bo
but the vast human mental power cannot be exercised and agitated as it is
all over the world today without bringing some great change in human af
fairs. The groat war is probably only an instrument utilized for some parti
cular end. We can see in many countries already that the value placed on
human life is fast decreasing. We hear murmurs of executions in India,
China, Mexico, Asia Minor, Egypt and elsewhere and we have seen three
thousand men armed with less than two thousand rifles attacking a highly
equipped army of twenty thousand in the capital of one country. We read
of men whose names were household words choking to death with salt sen
water. We read of women facing firing squads or going to penal servitude, |
women who in ordinary times would have been engaged in the ordinary
gentle pursuits of womankind. We read calmly of men dying by thousands,
of corpses piled in the fields and trenches. Death has come to be so common]
that it stalks through the world and claims onl\ a passing glance. We read
of death, hear of death, think of death constantly, and as we read of the
thousands dying we begin to depreciate the worth of our little separate
existences.
And we do not know all; The story of the wars handed out to us is only
a view of the surface. We look at it as we might look at the face of the clock
ami we see only the results of the workings. We do not see the works them*
selves. We cannot see the tragedies of each little trench and we cannot read
the mental activities of each and every man of the millions engaged. Be
neath each “official communique” lies a profundity of tragedy which is sure
to influence the minds of those involved. This influence may be invisible to
us now as the electricity with its appalling power is invisible until it bursts
forth into devastating thunderbolt s but the day may come when the results
of it all will become apparent universally.

What the reduction of revenues
means to town or nation, when they
come from new anti untried sources,
is portrayed in the proceedings of the
Budget Committee of Russia which
met in Petrograd March 1. Their
report showed:
That the daily war expenditure is
$15,500,000.
That the revenue of today is $1,
511.021,650, while the expenditures
are $1,616,231,849, excess of expendi
tures over revenue being $105,207,

in revenue was from the abolishment j
of the government s vodka manufact-;
ure, the revenue having fallen in one
year from $344,500,000 to $4,500,000,
or a reduced revenue from partial pro
hibition of $340,000,000 in one year.
The government of Russia, and the
brightest minds of Russia, have been
figuring and scheming for nearly two
years to find a way to replace the '
revenues decreased by stopping the
manufacture of vodka, and as yet
have found no way. In an autocratic
nation such as Russia, measures can
be used to increase revenues which
could not be used in a Republic like
the United States, yet such as have
been applied do not reach the desired
point. They must figure out a way,
and hope to do so, but they haven’t
arrived at the solution even after long
study and many experiments.
Probably the trouble is that the
country had grown to depend upon
the revenue from liquor, just as
America has until ever one-third of
our National revenues come from
the liquor sources. Probably the
United States can in time learn to
live without revenues from liquor, but
until such time as the problem has
been solved it would be disastrous for
the Territory of Alaska to endeavor to
solve the problem.—Fairbanks News

TO AUCTION OFF SOCIAL
POSITION FOR A DAY
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, June 3.—“Hrere you
are! Only $5 a day in the most ex
clusive home in Newport! Buy a
chance, and if you win you’ll be en
tertained by one of Newport’s most
charming hostesses!”
This is the cry that resounded to
day when the Million Dollar Allied
Bazaar began in Grand Central
Palace.
Among the many things to be raffl
ed off, from neckties autographed by
poets to high power touring cars, is
a free trip to Newport and a day’s
entertainment in some villa where
hitherto only those whose names are
in the social register have been per
mitted to erter.
Just who the hostess is to be,
whether it is Mrs. Vincent Astor,
Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont or somebody
else, has not been disclosed.
Not even the possibility, immedi
ately suggested, that some I. W. W.
person might get the price and buy a

chance and win the day at Newport
has deterred the Newport hostesses.
Another alluring chance that will
be sold is “the day of ladylike thrills/’
Only men may compete for this, and
the lucky winner is to be handed the
following nice feminine thrills:
A morning trip with Katherine
l Stinson in her airship, a regular
( scorcher of a ride with the most dar
ing women automobilist the commit
tee can find, an afternoon spin with
Mrs. J. Stuart Blackton in her motor
boat, several hours of posing for the
movies as the hero in the most stren
uous play that can be found and danc
ing in the evening with Florence Wal
ton as a partner.
Several men have come to town re
cently with stories of seeing bears
and apparently the animals are more
plentiful than usual.
