WILL THEY AWAKE IN TIME
Peace or war with Germany depends not upon the j
people of Germany, but upon coteries of Prussians who
still control that war-swept empire. I
The nearer America approaches the brink, the more;
truth can be seen in the above statement.
No dependence can be placed by the United States in
the pledges of a Hohenzollern, a Bethman Hollweg or a
Zimmerman.
If America could deal directly with an accredited
representative of the people ot Germany, an awakened
Germany out from under the yoke of Prussianism, all
would be well.
WE’RE AFTER THE SEA LIONS’ DINNER
Seward as a fishing center will be a reality this year.
The shipment of halibut from here and the canning of
salmon will be under way in another month or so.
Outside the fishing interests are alive to the situation!
and they are betting that another big fish company will
erect a plant here before this season is over.
Seward is the nearest port to the richest halibut
banks in the gulf of Alaska, and the company with head
quarters here has a big advantage over its competitors.
Come one. come all, is the invitation extended by local
business men and officials. The more fishermen operat
ing off Resurrection bay, the less fish will fall into
the hungry mouths of that vast sea lion herd sojourning j
on the rocks off Ayalik cape. The diversion to eastern
markets of the fish consumed in a day by that bunch ol
two-ton sea mammoths would put quite a dent in the high
cost of sea food.
SPIES BEGET SPIES
There is no place for spies in a republic under normal
conditions, except such as are necessary to keep tab on;
the small percentage of abnormal human beings whose
activities lead to lawlessness.
Spies are a military necessity, however, and their use
by one country against another is prima facie evidence
that the user contemplates, “sooner or later,” an act of
aggression.
The United States is fed up on this espionage stuff
just now and, not being at war. the only way to get rid of
known spies who avoid violating our laws is to publish j
their actions and give them their passports.
The newspaper is the spy’s most dangerous foe. Once
his name and likeness are blazoned his usefulness is gone
in the country where he has been exposed, unless he can
change his face.
Germany has all kinds of spies, political, commercial,
and military. The system was created along with the'
other Prussian output, militarism, and it never did stand
very well with the better people of Germany, being severe
ly criticised from time to time, especially by the more lib
eral German papers—hence Bismarck’s remarks about
"the reptile press.’’ Russia is in a similar fix.
Without publicity spies thrive and increase, for to'
keep up the game it is necessary to set spies to watehing:
the spies, and spies to watch the spies that watch the spies, |
and so on without end. Right now Uncle Sam is forced
to employ a horde of secret service men (spies) to watch
the foreign spies.
Raus niit ’em!

THE CONSUMER HAS A DREAM
If vou feel as if vou would like to leave the town, and
% %
move to a little hut far away in the hills, where you would
seldom see other men, and where you could take time to
live—if you feel that way it is a sign you owe just about
as much as we do. We haven’t any stubborn courage, and
when we see the battle is lost, we want to retreat.
We want to get away from bargain counters, taxes,
installments and meters. Right now we wish our home
was a log house, two days from a railroad. We would
want a home-made table in the center of the room, and
a big fireplace in one end. We could go out hunting dur
ing the day. and go home with a little game and a lot of
talk. And just think of the cold evenings when we would
return after night. Martha would have a skillet of pone
bread, plenty of real bacon and some genuine sorghum
molasses. After supper we could read stories about fron
tier days, Indians and bears.
The busy world is all right for producers and middle
men, but we consumers ought to take to the hills.—(Claud
Callan.)

A Polite Doubt
A fond parent was telling Oliver
Her ford of the reflly bright remark
of her three-year-old daughter.
Herford was much impressed.
“How old did you say little Lena
is? he asked.
“Only three,” answered the mother
proudly.
“Do you know,” said the humorist
solemnly. “1 have a suspicion that at
times these children lie about their
age.”—McClure's Magazine.
