A MATTER OK BOOKKEEPING
The decision of the Court In the taj. cases has been rendered. Thf
results are of Interest to all. inasmucn as all are concerned. Roughly esr
timating the cost we would say it was about $500 more or less. Oue hull
is borne 5^ the City and one half by the other parties to the issue. The
decision gives them a cut of $9 a year in taxes. The cost of the suit,
$250. at 6 per cent, is $16 a year, leaving a net deficit of $6 yearly*. Just
how many years it will take to return the $250 costs, we leave to Mathe
maticians to figure out.
On the side of the city, the loss is {9 in taxes. plu3 the interest on
the $250 of $24 per year. If the compromise desired by the Council hud
been accepted, it is quite likely that the city's loss would have been great
er than this. Then the Council has to its credit, as have the others, the
item of experience, and for that you always have to pay. In this case It
has taught the Council something which will be of value for any like cases
which may come up in the future. Bookkeeping is interesting, and. if
we use it. may be Instructive.
DEMOCRACY'S GAIX
Benito Mussolini, Leon Trotsky. President Ebert. Tzar Lenine, Mus
tapha Kemal Pasha. Mrs. W. H Felton, and many others that might be
added are interesting phases of the movement of politics and national gov
erunients for the past decade.
The old Idea, that only Lords and Lawyers can successfully carry on
the work of government In a nation is breaking down. When men from
print shops, saddlers from saddleries, and moulders from the foundaries
can step into the highest seats of authority in the nations of the world and
CAR It Y OX. the experience has a tendency to spoil the old raditions hoary
with age and graft. The upheaval in the I'nited States Senate at the last
election, the overthrow of "dyed in the wool" leaders, would not have been
possible in our upper chamber two decades ago. for State legislatures can
be manipulated easier than can the whole electorate of the state. Election
of Senators by popular vote, has made a readjustment of things, political,
necessary.
We may not agree with Trotsky's regime in Russia, but none will say
that the poor printer of Brooklyn, has made a failure. Ebert in Germany,
inexperienced in politics, has done quite as well as have the presidents of
France. Our own experience gives additional proof that the wide awake
Common man of the street, placed in authority, shows, a remurkable apti
tude for assuming the highest offices and making good in them.
It all simmers down to the simple principle of doing in a large way
what is possible to do in a small way. And the man of integrity and in
telligence when given responsibility has not once, but in umerable cases,
made good. The Kemalists wanted an open conference at Lausanne, thai
was Democracy's voice. They did not get It. Wilson wanted an open
conference at Versailles, he dtd not get it. That was again the vo'ice of
Democracy. The Common man concludes, when France. Italy and Brit
ain do not want to lay their cards on the table that they must have some
thing up their sleeves. It is true they may not have, but the Comman
man thinks they have, and If the Hemispherical blunder which itas follow
ed Versailles is not an index of It, then the Comman man cannot see
straight.
The world gasped when Hughes, at the Washington Conference. laid
his hand out so alt could see. Since then. Japan has withdrawn from Si
beria and Shantung, in accord with that agreement.
It is not beyond the bounds of reason to say, that'if Democracy's
voice had been beard at the Versailles Conference—and that is more than
Wilson's voice—'hat Europe today would be hard at work, rehabilitation
and the indemnity would have been well on the way toward consuming
tion. France paid her indemnity of 1870 In three years. But she knew
what she had to pay. Germany would have hers half paid if she had been
told what it was. But SECRET sessions and political chicanery con
ceived the plan ot milking Germany for the next half century, and look at
the result.
Politicians of the old schooi are due to get a few more hard jolts be
fore they wake up to the fact that the Common man has gotten over the
Idea that, because a man is In Congress or Parliament or has become Cab
inet Officer, that he is a demigod.
Mat-Donald, the Laborlte In Parliament said, t' e government does not
appreciate the seriousness of the situation of the unemployed. It is quite
certain if the government does not appreciate it soon, that some one is due
to fail. When almost any man from a saddler to a pianist can take the
supreme reins of government and do It as well or better than it has been
done, then Democracy is moving forward.
THANKSGIVING IN DOMINION'
Monday will be the day of general thanksgiving throughout the Oo
ir.Inioo, and tomorrow, Sunday, will take on largely the nature of ThanUi
giving service in the places of worship throughout the land.
Of all the vast domain beneath the Union Jack no portion has greater
reason for gratitude than Canada. Blessed this year with the most
abundant crops in many years, being at peace with all nations, free from
the many scourges of pestilence, famine, dissension and political upheaval
vrbk-h beset nuuiy another country, Canada may indeed count herself for
tunate.
The flntnces of the Dominion have improved during t e last year to
such a degreo that she Is now among the most stable nations of the earth,
and her woundB suffered in the Great War. are healing more rapidly than
those of any other land. Great projects are formulating throughout the
Dominion for her development, and she la attracting the attention of un
i. umbered thousands iu other lands who are anxious to find homes in a
land of opportunity.
Fortunate Indeed aie those whose lot are cast In the Dominion. The
general prosperity of Canada is shared abundantly in Yukon. The per
capita wealth In this territory is far above the average, while unemploy
ment want and such evidences or distress as soup kltcheus and breadlines
are uukonwn in this region. Yukon has every reason to Join with the
rest of the Dominion in utterance of thanksgiving for manifold blessings.

TWO MINDS IN DIFFERENT CHANNELS
"There were 297 reasons ou the S.S. Northwestern, leaving Seward
for the States, why Alaska is going backward. The money spent on use
less trips to the Outside would keep every man, woman and child left with
it. the territorial borders in food for the winter, would furnish a Christmas
present and a fat turkey and leave a few dollars over for each one. Un
til Alaskans learn to spend their money where it is earned there will never
be any better times in the Territory."
That's what tflo Seward Gateway says. . . ,Now let us take another
whirl at It. . . .We cannot quote figures, nor dates, nor the names of the
ships or passengers, but we are willing to hazzard a 'tuess that if all the
j money spent by Federal Officials in coming and going while carrying on
some investigation or another throughout Alaska, roads could have been
i uilt to sucu an axtont that the territ-iry would have looked like a checker

Money for Big
Paper Mill At
Wrangell Sure
The financial backing for a $7,
000,000 paper manufacturing pro
ject near Wrangell Is assured if en
gineers now in tlie field report fav
orably, was indicated by a telegram
received today at local district For
est Sen-ice headquarters, according
to WlllBian Holbrook, Acting For
ester. The project is one that has
been promoted by J. G. Galvin, of
Wrangell.
The power site which it is pro
posed to develop for the paper plant
is located at Aaron Creek, a stream
emptying Into Black channel, on
the maiulanl east of Wrangell
Island. A telegram received by
the Forest Service and signed by
"J. G. Stenerson, Coal and Iron Na
tional Bank, New York City," said
that arrangements hud been made
for financing the proposition: that
an engineering firm, J. G. White.
Engineering Company of New oYrk.
[has an engineer named Breck and
I two assistants on the ground now
making examinations. If the report
is favorable and a timber unit can
bo secured, said the wire, the estab
lishment of a plant will proceed.
The power site at Aaron Creek,
according to local Forest Service
statistics, is capable of being econ
imlcally developed to produce a
little short of 10,000 horsepowei
It was exan-'.ned last year by J. C.
Port for the Forest Service and
later engineers representing Jason
Rogers. New York publisher, are
reported to have gone over the
project.
The Forest Service, In response to
Stenerson's telegram, said that tim
ber supplies would be available
through the establishment of a leas
ing unit to cover a period of 45 j
years. 30 years under an original I
contract and a 15year optional
clause. There is plenty of timber in
the district, said Mr. Holbrook, to
supply the proposed plant.
The identity of Mr. Stenerson is
unknown here. His name does not
appear in any of the previous cor
respondence had on the subject by
the Forest Service. He Is not listed
as an officer of the Coal and Iron
National Bank of New York Cltv in
the latest hankers directory. The
bank itself is one of the smaller
hanks of the city. It was estab
lished in 1904.
LONDON' ALSO IS BIDDING
FLAPPER FOND FAREWELL
London. Nov. 21.—The "flapper
type" of young girl Is rapidly disap
pearing in London. The first signs
of waning popularity Is the discard
ing of bobbed hair.
According to West End hairdress
ers shortened locks are no longer ap
proved, and the coming winter sea
son will see new styles in the art
of hair dressing. The most popular
substitute for bobbed hair is a short
pompador, and the use of a small
ribbou or wreath. This is the favor
ite style of Princess Mary.
The reversion In hair dressing has
even gone to the extent that small
amounts of false hair will be used
this winter.
The new color for fall hats Is
"green almond." and veils will be
worn extensively. The small hat'
with a veil fastened across the front
which was popular (luring the war. is
to be worn again. The hats will be
smaller this fall, but huge shapes,
rivalling the "Merry Widows" of
years ago, will be the rage in the
spring.
The new evening dresses In the
Regent Street windows are entirely
minus a back, and a cord of white
silk has taken the place of a wider
shoulder strap. The materials in
vogue are dark shades and p ivplf,
and heavy silks and satins will he
almost the only materials used. Long
trains will again grace the ball
room, and three distinct trains are
not too much for one town.
Rich Oriental brocades and bejew
elled ornaments are to be seen on
all of the gowns.
