EDITORIAL PAGE
Last November a small number
of former Alaskans and Yukoners,
at the meeting of the Grand Camp
of the Arctic Brotherhood, at North
Vancouver, B. C. ? they also being
loaded down with proxies of dele
gates who were unable to attend
the meeting ? took possession of
the Grand Camp organization and
ran It in accordance with their own
views. These men either deliberate
ly suspended or ignored the writ
teu constitution of the Brotherhood,
and set about using the Order to
serve their own ends and purposes.
The constitution of the Arctic
Brotherhood expressly provides that
its Jurisdiction shall be confined to
Alaska, Yukon, and that portion of
British Columbia north of 54' 20',
north latitude.
This section of the constitution
was ignored aud steps were taken
to organize subordinate camps at
Vancouver, Seattle and elsewhere
It was not accomplished without pro
teat, but the Hessians were in the
saddle and determined, apparently,
to rule, even If It Involved the de
struction of this peculiarly Northern
organisation. Their action has
been repudiated by most of the
aubordiuate camps of Alaska, and
It la believed that all the camps of
the North will take like action
Grand Arctic Recorder Keller, of
Skagway, announces that he will
refuse to sign charters for any
camp that may be established with
out the jurisdiction of the Order,
and it looks as if the self-consti
tuted Grand Camp will find itself
without a clientele.
A call has been already issued
for a meeting of delegates from the
different subordinate camps at Jun
eau early In March, the avowed ob
ject being the repudiation of the
Vancouver Grand Camp of Clan
destines, aud the Institution of a
bona fide Grand Camp of the Broth
erhood.
The Arctic Brotherhood is dis
tinctively a Northern order, and as
such It has achieved an Internation
al reputation. To preserve this
distinctiveness It must be main
tained as such, and to permit a
handful of former Northerners and
neai^Northcrners In Vancouver and
Seattle to capture It, will not be
tolerated, we believe by the men of
the North. The cosmogony, so to
speak, of the Brotherhood must be
maintained if It shall not be utterly
destroyed. The Vancouver Grand
Camp should be repudiated. There
can be 'no secession, since there Is
nothing to secede from. But a new
Grand Camp of, by nad for Alaskans
and all others within its jurisdict
ion should be organised and all Its
conventions hereafter held within
its Jurisdictional boundaries. ? Jun
eau Empire.
The Ketchikan Miner man com
plains because "somebody In town,
they must be very small mentally
and morally" has been stealing
copies of the Miner. They certain
ly must have exaggerated Ideas of
value to steal copies of that paper.
One of the reasons that the In
terior department has given for the
refusal to issue coal patents to
claimants is because "no mine has
been opened up." And yet the
government sends a party of forty
men to the Bering river fields and
in a few weeks they mine 855 tons
of coal from tunnels driven on
claims where Commissioner Dennett
has said there was no mine. Surely
the rulings of the Interior depart
ment passeth all understanding. ?

Are You Not Paying
Too Dearly For Your
Material Progress?
By PIERRE LOTl. French Author
ind Traveler
RAVE you not perhaps paid ? are you not perhaps PAYINQ
TOO DEARLY FOR YOUR MATERIAL PROGRESS!
It is ill to lose the faculty of contemplation and the condi
I tiors of life that encourage it
PROGRESS IN COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY YOU HAVE ACHIEVED
TO A POINT WHICH OVERWHELMS. BUT I FEAR YOU HAVE AL
LOWED YOURSELVES TO FORGET A PROGRESS WHICH IS TO BE
PREFERRED TO THESE FORMS OF IT. THE KIND OF PROGRESS
I MEAN RESULTS IN THE GREATEST HAPPINESS AND THE GREAT
EST LIBERTY.
Contemplative nations, like China and Turkey, in the early days
of their history were HAPPIER than we with all the accompani
ments of modern discovery. More and more, if these traditions of
peaco and inwardness are destroyed and the world learns to quicken its
pace without corresponding deepening of thought, DECADENCE
INEVITABLY SETS IN.
When you destroy a contemplative nation like Turkey or a group
of revolutionary leaders tries to introduce new ideas It is as if a
MONASTERY OF OT.D TIME, which has been the symbol of quiet
thought to men for ages, were suddenly to be effaced and its influence
lost.
THE CONTEMPLATIVE NATIONS REPRESENT AMONG THE NA
TIONS OF THE WORLD WHAT THE CHURCHES AND THE MONAS
TERIES STAND FOR IN THE INDIVIDUAL NATION. THEY ARE
THE ALWAYS LIVING EXAMPLES OF HUMAN THOUGHT AND THE
IDEAL.
As time passes these monuments of the older civilization are more
and more inspiring for those who respect the wonderful meaning of
tradition.
TO THINK IS ITSELF A FORM OF ACTION, AND, IN A SENSE,
A SUPERIOR FORM OF IT. IT IS THIS DISCOVERY WHICH AMERI
CA COULD MAKE WITH SUPREME ADVANTAGE TO HERSELF.
