PREVENTABLE CASUALTIES
A report tells of 800 people having been slain in
China recently by Red troops. Three questions present
themselves. First, is the report true? Second, if the
story is true, were the killings justified either in law,
morals or conscience? Third* if they were not justified,
what is going to be done about it, and who is going to do
it?
Disasters, floods, fires, pestilences* poverty and
even ignorance very often can not be avoided. But acts
resulting from the human element can be prevented.
That human blood must thus be needlessly shed is an in
dictment against civilization worse and more deplorable
than any calamity produced by natural forces.
It must be admitted that until the world conquers
selfishness and misunderstanding, depradations of such
character may not only be expected but will be committ
ed.
Juneau has been seeking an appropriation for a
Capitol building for many years. Now, we note, the
item of $200,000 for the construction of the building has
been eliminated from the first deficiency bill. It may
be the elevation of guns on battleships are of more im*
portance than the conduct of State or Territorial af
fairs. What do you think?
He* shows his true character who brags and then
tracks out.
NAVIGATION HAZARDS OFF ALASKAN COAST
Seward, because of its position, is petitioning Wash
ington to have stationed the coast guard cutters and light
house tenders at that point as more advantages than if
having headquarters in the Panhandle. But the whole
question of Alaskan trade is bound up in the provision
of for mare lighthouses than exist at present and the ab
sence of which in the past has made navigation unneces
sarily dangerous. (Railway and Marine News.)

livered to the police by firemen who -
answered a false alarm turned in
