"MINE." "THINE" AND "OURS"? i
DEFINITION.
With in ?ny the mere attempt to dis
cus "the right to property" brings a
man undtr suspicion. This therefore,
following, interesting as a clear state
ment of ? subject clear euouch In
Itself but made complex by usage, has
the added interest of having bean
found in the editorial columns of the
Seattle Stir, a newspaper whicn has
never been accused of being anything
more than just a plain every day news
paper. The Star savs:
Of courso yoa bsllevo in property,
and the right to property. Eveiybody
does. Evan the man who denies the
right to property with his tcogue will
malce the welkin ring with his howla of
protests if you pick his pocket. Je U
a communist iu theory ooly.
The right to property :s as sacred as
the right to Ii: e. The right to prop
erly is necessary to life. Even Shy lock
k_ew ths "You take my life," said
be, "when you take the means by wLich
I live.'' Your ri^ht to the very soud in
your spoon depends upon the right to
property.
Propertv thit belongs to you is jour*.
Properly th*t b. look's to me is mine.
The whole q mo o' proper:y has al
ways been treited a* i matter of
''uieam et . u^.n" ? ?tniue anil thine."
Rut the division i.f property into
mine -nil yours? wba' belongs to mc
an;l wha'. be.ongs to o:her-> ? doesn't
cover all prop rt> .
It learns out of the question the prvp
erty that is "ours."
Tho que.t.ua of *h:i > ours is the
dUtutbing i stion of today. The
statesmen of today ere afraid of the irre
pressible conflict over what is ours,
rather thaa yours :iuJ mine For the
greai fortunes of today are based oa the
monopoly by a few men of things that
arc neither theirs nor yours nor mine,
but are ours.
God made the oil and put It in the
ground. Rockefeller called it h's and
got awav with the play. G*d made
coal acd stor.d it in the hills. Liaer
called it his, and the human race let
him have it. Gcd made ir ir inci placed
it in piles c?')i le of shoveled up.

and oil and iron were ready to be laid
down? Or did He have Id mind the
human race? Is this earth "mine" or
"yours" or "theirs" or "ours?"
It is ours! The whole future of
our children and our children's chll
dr? n depends upon us denying ;he
propeity right* of some in that which
In tho very nature of thiogs belongs
to all.
Senator Teller, in the senate, recent
ly said that the governmeiv has no
right to sell the power ihat is generat
ed by the dams it builds to improve the
rivers lie fulled to realize that the
rivers, the powers they produce and the
navigation they afford are not "mine,"
nor "yours," but "our*."
The siretu are ours. The rivers and
lakes are ours. The planet oil which
we live is ours. Whenever under the
uamo of the right of property Individu
als claim what belongs to all, they vio
late the foundation of property rights.
The monopoly of the face of nature
gives >he monopolists the power to
take ft om you and me and nil of us the
things that belongs to us personally.
The right of the people as a whole to
their collective property is as necessary
to the welfare of the nation as the
right of the individual to what is his.
We have passed through the state of
development in which we worked out
the problem of "mine" and "thine."
We have reached the stage when we
must work out the problem of wha' Is
"ours" in order that you may be pro
tected in what is yours and I in what is
mi-.e.
J COMEDY OF ERROR WITH A TRAGEOr
OF CONSEQUENCE
The withdrawal of both Calo and
Wickerstuin from the race for lb#
delegatrship so closely followi-g one
upon the other cuttainlv corn-.s as
thunder from a c'ear sky upon the po
litical situation It is pretty svfe '0
Siv thai neither knew the o:her con
templated taking (his step and that ha>.
il-.ey known it both would have been
in the field still? at loa*t that Wicker
sham wouid. C.tle Rives as his reason
his wife's illnes* and this rrobiblv may
have been sufficient under any circurn
stwees, s:nco he has been jeopar 'izinK
his chances of election fiom this cause
sincc the adjournment of congress by
remaining out of communication with
bis friends a1, a time when they greatly
desired his presence ?nd ajsMamo in
the campaign.
That he was In earnest, however,
when he accepted cbe republicsn nom
ination ami intended to put forth his
best effort* for re-olvClioo there canuot
be doubt and the action of Judire Wlck
ersham in entering the tieid to divide
the vote with him may l ave influenced
his action at this time.
Oo the other hand had Judge Wlcker
sh?m knevn th it Cale was to sLep aside
it is not linely he would hims?lf hare
done so, au I it is not. boyound the
bounds of possibility that wben he hoar*
of it ho wi I again ehtuige his mlDd. |
Judue Wlckersham'a friends importun"
ed bin to en er the tight for the repub
lic n nomination and bud ho done so he
wculd almost certainly hare boon able
to win over all competitors at Ketchi
kan.
Hut he declared at that time pos live
ly that be teas not a candidate. After
the couveutioj h-d dona Ita work, the
candidates hvl announced their accept- i
anct and the leaden* and newspapers
had aligned themselves he seems to !
hav6 reconsidered his determination, j
succumbed to the solicitation of fr ends J
and announced hu candidacy. That
was less than two wueLs ago. Uls an
nouncement took the whole district by
surprise nud he has not, of course, re
vived anything like the enthusiastic
assurances that he probably h id reason
to expect from his pre-conrention
promises of support, It is no doubt
this fact th?t ha? influenced him in re
versing in s < short a time the decision
which he took so long to form.
It is all a ver> unfortunate combina
tion of circumstances, to say the least
of it. Wickersham occupies a peculiar
place !n tho affairs of Alaska. He has
maoy stron/ friends, a hold upon tbe
good will of a large proportion of the
population in all the settlements of the
district. It is reasonably certain that
with Cale eut of the running be could
win against tiie fie d. Cale could have
done tLc w.th Wicktrabatn out of
it oven without coming to the district
that, is having so good a reason for stay
ing away as a siok wife to look after.
But the one ha? played against the
O'ner to such p.ior advantage that the
tield is left to Corson, Ronan to-l Clum
?and God belp us.
How many of its reaoers noticed the
new heading introduced over The Ala ?
kan with last night's issue? how many?
It is a safe wager that not one io ten
noticed it more than to remark that the
paper did not look just as usual. And
yet the chanre is most radical and for
th ? better and adds quite ? little to the
length of the readtug matter on the
first pane.
