OUR TARNISHED ALLY
W e suppose that all our allies should look alike to us,
as all coons did in the vaudeville melody, but up to 3:59
this afternoon we have been unable to key up our song of
affection for the Rumanians to the same pitch we use ini
chanting the praises of our brothers in arms.
“Bein’ Yanks, that-away, and not a’customed to losin’
no bets none whatever." as Alf Lewis’ old cattleman would
say, we ourselves can stand for quite some bargain driv-i
inq, but we find it impossible to imitate, and difficult to
condone the fixing of principles on the sole basis of sup
posed material advantage: a perverted moral status
which promises, if it does not insure, an alternative flop
should the market change.

It may, indeed, not bo an unnuxeci e\u mat mi itu
manians are out of the running temporarily; for there is
much circumstantial evidence that they bunked the Ger
mans, and while they deny it, the wise old law sharps have
a saving that witnesses sometimes lie but circumstances
never do; and. if they betrayed the Germans they cannot
object if we remember the maxim of the old Romans,
whose direct descendants they claim to be, that those who j
are false in one thing will prove false in all. j
From which a person of keen discernment might sus
pect there are limits to our admiration for a government,
friend or enemy, whose principles have been an object of
barter and sale. Howbe, now that the American people
are arrayed in arms on the side ot international light and
justice. Rumania will be true to her present allies—any
change of faith induced by market change would seal her
fate, a fact quite fully known to her Hohenzollern prince.

KEEP A-HAMMERING
It is passing strange that some people do not eventu
ally realize their limitations and after the spurious vent of
spleen and bile do not come out of it and acknowledge the i
corn.
There seems to be a well concentrated action of the
coast towns to continually hammer Anchorage, the me-j
tropolis. Never do they allow an opportunity to pass and i
metrolis. Never do they allow an opportunity to pass and j
frequently draw upon their imagination and falsify their
statements. Like the drowning man and the straw they
grasp at anything.—(Anchorage Times.)
This piteous cry of distress engages our sympathies
and provokes our protest against such unseemly behavior
towards the unfortunate. Anchorage has done nothing,
absolutely nothing, to arouse the envy of a real town, but
much to solicit the compassion of more fortunate com
munities.

A VEILED HINT f
“Some local citizens who were skinned by a recent
promotion stunt which was a plain case of stealing, are
said to have expressed the wish that an ingenious native
named Dave Rlack should be arrested and punished for!
doing the white men. Maybe Dave thinks that because
the white men have taken in the native so often, turn
about is fair play. He will be likely to discover that this
is not so.
“We don’t want these Wallingford get-rich-quick
schemes to become popular in this community, and as it
ought to be easy to discover the identity of the perpetra
tor in the present case, he should be ferreted out and made
an example of.’’—(Nome Nugget.)
Plainly, this is a case requiring the detective in
genuity of a Sherlock Holmes.

Alaskan towns are now coming to the front in fine
shape with preparations for the war. Amongst the towns
which have begun organization are Juneau, Fairbanks,
Ketchikan, Wrangell, Seward and Anchorage. Nome will
soon be heard from but Nome could hardly be expected to
be too hasty in such matters while such an event as the
All-Alaska Sweepstakes is proceeding. Valdez has been
taken up with that all-absorbing Kanitz trial and so was
Cordova. But we shall hear from them one of these days.

k Our theosophical friends down at Krotona claim to
have perfected thought photography; explaining that to
take a picture of a thought, all that is necessary is to re
cord the mental process by means of etheric waves on a
sensitive negative. In proof of this a number of plates
with black spots on them are exhibited. Which recalls,
