EDITORIAL PAGE
Be prepared for a rise in the
price of all commodities the raw
material for which comes frc-m for
eign. countries. As we sit in peace
a-J comfort in the beautiful town
of Skagway, uninfluenced by the
fnshtfi.i wax now convulsing the
world it seems strange that there
should come stealing upon us a
wave from thia struggle which shall
increase our daily expenditures. And
though we have felt sorry for those
dyUiR on the battle field and have
sympathised vaguely with the suf
terins women and children, it is
difficult to realize that we can be
personally affected in any way.
Every mail brings to the local mer
chants letters and invoices show
ing an increase in wholesale prices.
The principal commodities which
will be raised in price are shoes,
rubber roods, cotton overalls, shoe
strings and drugs. To give two
speciiic instances. Shoe strings
have «cuie up 100 per cent and
drugs in many instances over 5ui)
per cent. So don't blame your
local retail man when he charges
you more than in the past. He is
no* making more than his normal
profit.

Serbia which resulted In. the war.
If a document compromising Ser
bia >ias been discovered it is an in
teresting fact, yet taken alone, it
cnilJ cot fairly be regarded as jus
tificatfou for the war. In fixing
responsib.lity for thq war, histor
ians will weigh what facts were
known »o the governments at the
time war was declared.
Aft°r Germany had overrun Bel
gium, certain documents ware found
in 'he archives at Brussels which
the Germans interpreted as evi
dence that Belgium was not really
a neutral country. Long before the
war Btigian army officers con
ferred with the British about the
landiu/ of troops in Belgium. The
Belg'an answer and the British, ans
wer was tnat the landing of troop*
was f take place only in the
even' oi aa invasion by Germany.
Bai whatever the documents may
mean Germany cannot fairly find
jjsti ic~ticn in them for the viola
'i-*>u of Belgian neutrality for the
spee-h ot Chancellor Bothnw.nu von
Holl»e< before the reichsta*' at
the outbreak of the yar confessed
thu» a wrong was being done to the
little country. The course of Ger
many will be judged by the knowl
edge uron which. Germany acted at
the time. However many documents
may be found affecting Belgium's
neutrality that will not change the
fart that Germany considered Bel
gium a neutral country and over
rn it, despite the fact that Ger
many w as a party to 'the so-called
"scra>, o? paper" by which the great
powers of Europe agreed to respect
Belgian neutrality.

BOOSTED HIS OWN' HOME TOWN
1 never wrote a famous play
Like those that Shakespeare wrote
Nor yet in veTse ot roundelay
Struck the Mlltonic note;
1 never painted anything
Like Michael Angelo,
Nor does my oratory ring
Lltr, 'hat of Cicero.
Upon the stage I must confess
I'm not a second Booth.
Nor yet do I pretend to dross
Li'-e Be*u Brummel in truth;
No symohonies have 1 composed
To rival Herr Mozart,
Not nature's secrets have disclosed
With Luther Burbank's art
>*o continents have I explored
Like Ponce Do Leon,
Nor ever led the conquering horde,
As did Napoleon;
No master of finance a» I,
As Rockefeller is;
In science I'd not Qualify
With the late Agissix.
At statesmanship I must admit,
I'm not a Talleyrand;
On no inventions have I hit
With Edison's command;
Ye» on my tomb let all men read i
M«r one claim to renown,
That nine was not a knocker's
creed—
I boosted my home town.—Ex.

It seluom pays to think unless you In

Tbe man looking for trouble can

A man seldom knows what he doesn't j

It Is an easy thing for a man to
resist temptation if be has something i
better in sight
Some people ne\ er put off till tomor

When a man is old enough to know
better doing a fool^li thing won't i
make him look young.
Do not blame the nsg for being stub

If he were otherwise.
When you have to take back things

Our system of education makes chll

It is hard for a talkative person to

nothing to say.
