it Is time for Alaskans to take
a long look a-hea.il.
Tlie day when it was proper for
a man to rush into the territory with
a shovel aud pan, wash out a pock
et full of gold aud depart to other
climes to speud it, is past.
Alaska must henceforth be made
a laud of permanent industries and
lierraanent homes.
Here where the wealth is fouud
let it be speut.
Manufacturing and agricultural
development should be made the
order of the day and every :pos
sible eucouragemeut given to the
home producer.
See if you cannot buy Alaska
made articles to fit your needs, and
Alaska grown fruits, vegetables and
dairy products, before you send
your order to the outside.
WHAT SAVED ENGLAND?
Seattle P.-I.: Lord Welby has
uritteu a lengthy article in the Lou
don Economist, which meets with
the hearty approval of the New
York Post, to the effect that the
war has showu the great value of
tha Ire* trade policy of England.
Tie tariffs of the protectionist
countries of Europe broke down at
the precis© niomtnt that it became
uecssarv to secure the largest gov
ernmental income. To get in sup
plies they bad to suspend their
duties on foodstuffs, while Eng
land has had to suspend no revenue
duties.
The simple fact is that the free
trade policy of England would
have put her out of the war bot'ore
this bad it net been for her navy,
•and that alone. If the Germans
had had a stronger navy tbau Eng
land, had defeated the English navy
and blockaded the Engl'sh ports as
the German norts have been block
aded, England would have had to
sue for peace withiu a month after
the naval battle was over.
It was because Germany, natural
»r a poor country of limited re
sources, had, through a policy of
Intelligent protection, built up in
dustries of every kirn' and character
that ahe survives the loss of her
entire forigu trade and the practi
cal blockading of her ports. She
■She can feed herself. She can pro
vide all that she needs for the sus
tenance of her people and the pros
ecution of the war.
Taking the case of the Uuited
States, the only substantial injury
which was done to this country in
dustrially by a war which suspend
ed for a time our foreign trade
;uid which absolutely cut us off
from the German market, was in
Industries which had not been pro
tected in this country and jvhich
consequently had not developed suf
ficiently to supply our domestic
needs. The countries which ap
proach the more closely to industria
independence are those which can
be hurt least by a suspension of
trade with the outside world. Eng
land suffered no such suspension
of heir trade with the outside world.
If she had, and her navy was the
only thing which saved her, she
would have been starved out long
ago.

Work of Imagination.
"They tell me that it is imagination
that keeps the doctors busy," said the

"It is," replied the physician. "A lot

which we foolishly imagine are going

II.—A CLOAK AND
SUIT COMEDY
[Copyright. Tho Frank A. Muneey Co.]
•• JT AWROSS, I don't like the
fill looks of Mengel Bros. &
f ? Jt Guust," said Abo Potash to
Ills partner, Morris Perlmut
ter.
"Why not?" Morris asked.
"Because I seen Ike Meugel In front
of the Biugler House tills morning,
and I asked htui how Is business. He
smiles and says, "Thank Gawd!' Then
he says he would like to duplicate on
them forty-twenty-twos and double up
on sixteen*, sereuteens and eighteen®."
"That's bad," Morris commented.
"I should say so," Abe added. "Why,
theui forty-twenty-twos is stickers, as
you know, Mawruss, what trouble we
had to sell 'em, and If he gets rid of
that last order already so quick, Maw
russ, he done It by auction houses.
Ain't It?"
Morris nodded gloomily, and Abe
walked back to the office in the rear of
his commodious salesroom.
"Miss Cohen," he said to the book
keeper. "you should please writ® to
Mengel Bros. & Gunst: 'Gentlemen,
we inclose you statement of your ac
count, which, as you are aware, Is past
due, aud we must say we are surpris
ed we should uot hear from you.
Please send us check at once, as wt
pay our bills prompt on the day, and
wo are obliged to you to do the sama.
Yours truly.'"
He wiped away a slight moisture
from his forehead, for when Abe dic
tated correspondence he emphasised
his words with appropriate gestures,
which; in the case of dunning letters
were apt to assume an especial vehe
mence.
"That ought to fetch 'em," he said,
and, carefully selecting a slightly dam
aged cigar from the K to J customers'
first and second credit l>ox, he strode
Into the salesroom puffing great clouds
of indignant smoke.
Morris Pcrluiutter was making up
his line of samples for an Impending
western trip.
"Well, Abe. what are you going to
do about Mengel Hros. & Guust?" he
asked.
"I wrote 'era a letter," Abe replied—
"a dirty letter."
"A letter!" cried Morris. "What
eood's n letter? Sue 'em, Abe. That's

They're Just

You hnil no busi

"Me sell 'em!"
Abe exclaimed.
"I'm surprised to
hear you, that
you should talk

russ. Ain't I al

Mnwruss, yoc

bauds.' Don't I know Ike Mengcl from
old limes yet when he was with Krie
ger Bros.? A bad egg. Mawruss—a
loafer and n gambler. Ills father be
foro him"—
Here the conversation was Interrupt
ed by the entrance of Philip Unterberg,
a friendly competitor of Potash & Perl
mutter in the cloak and suit trade.
"Good morning, Mr. Unterberg." Abe
broke off. He shook hands warmly
with the newcomer. "I know what
you want before you open your mouth.
Mawruss. tell Uenry to bring over
them forty-twenty-twos. That's a pop-,
ular line. Mr. Unterberg, and I don't
wonder you cau't make 'em up quick
enough. They're in big demand for
the out of town trade, ain't it, Maw
rtiss, and we're always glad to help
out our neighbors."
Mr. Unterberg's breath, which had
been taken away by Abe's sudden on
slaught. fume back at this Juncture,
and he made haste to disclaim fhe Im
puted reason for his visit
"I don't know tho numbers of your
stock," he said, "but if you mean them
stiiiied tourist coats, our factory ain't
exactly working night and day on-'era.
y' understand. The fact Is," he con
cluded, "I ain't come to buy goods at
all."
"No?" Abe commented coldly. j
"I come," he said In a burst of con
fidence. "to ask yon a friendly advice."
"Anything what me and Mawruss
can do," said Abe, "you can depend
on 03."
"Well," Mr. Unterberg went on, "the
fact is, we got an "order this morning
from Mengel Bros. & Gonst—not a big
order, y* understand, but only a thou
sand dollars. Now, I know it that
Mengel Bros. & Gunst Is all right, y'
understand, but naturally when a man
docs* business with comparatively
strangers, why, he"—
"Sure," Abe broke In, "I don't blame
you a bit Of course I don't want you
to tell this all around."
"Sure not," Unterberg protested.
"But Mengel Bros. '& Gunst," Abe
continues, with a wicked gleam In his
eye, "while they ain't exactly million
aires uor nothing like that, are good
blight boys. Ike Mengel—I know him
twenty years already—ain't never done
nobody for u cent, so far what I hear,
and I consider 'em that whatever you
sell "em you needn't l>e afraid."
"I'm much obliged to you," Unter
berg declared, beaming. "Of course I
ain't scared nor nothing, but so long
as I was passing by I thought I'd Just
drop In and ask your advice what you
think In the matter."
"You're welcome," Abe replied, and
Mr. Unterberg, with a nod to Morris,
left the store.
Morris, who had stood transfixed
during the latter part of the conver
sation, gazed at his partner in silent
astonishment.
"Dot ain't no lie, either, what I tell
him," Abe apologized. "Mengel Bros.
& Ounst ain't no millionaires, believe
me, but they are good bright boys—too
bright for you, Mawruss. Ike Mengel
ain't never done nobody for a cent
That ain't saying nothing about a thou
sand dollars. As for Unterberg being
afraid, ho needn't be, Mawruss—he
neodn't be a bit afraid that he'll ever
see the color of their money. No, slree,
Mawruss, If any one says Mengel Bros.
& Gunst to me, Mawruss, I hear a
noise like a petition In bankruptcy."
"But the way I understand It," said
Perlmutter, "you gave 'em a good send
off. Untorberg thinks It's a recom
mendation, that Mengel Bros. & Gunst
Is good for a thousand."
"Does he?" Abe retorted. "All tight,
let him think so and ship 'em the or
der at once. We may be suckers. Maw
