Nome. Alaska, April 27, 11110.
AT ANCHORAGE
It m?.y not be wholly without a
moral to adorn the talo to consider
tho rather important fact that the
troops at Fort Liscum have been
ordered to Anchorage because of the
railroad strike there.
It now seems to be habitually
taken for granted that there will
be a need of force whenever labor
strikes and demands better condi
tions.
It i3 not likely that any inquire
why there is that violence; labor
is supposed by all to be by nature
lawless and disorderly end when
striving to get higher wages or
shorter houres must essentially be
:,o. Not any of these who tivnks tc j
will for one momca. recognize the
real fact that labor having had in
justices thrust upon it rescits t ana
resents it with bitterness and em
phas's which eventually my lead to
violence. '
But any probing of condit'ons car
ried on without any prejudice in
those places where viol .ace bar. oc
curred has shown completely that
labor has been suffering for only too
long a time wrongs passed endur
ance. If there has been any fact
evidenced in the-history of any coun
try no matter where, it is that La
bor is the meekest and most endur
ing class of all. It has by the nature
of things so to be. One must domes
ticate and tame an animal before it
can be harnessed. And tho Tracta
biiity lias been its undoing. It is
so with labor. Labor Is where it !s
because it has accepted conditions
without a murmur as the ordered
condition over which it had no con
trol.
That viewpoint has almost be
come second nature, and it is the
minority and not the majority that
resents injustice and fights wrong
at first. That was always so and
will always bo so just as leng as one
class exploits another, for very ob
viously exploitation will become im
possible on the day that the work
ers refuse to be burdened end to
be yoked to tho fortunes of some
employer.
The fact that labor is helpless
and hopeless has induced employers
to ride these willing mules to death
and the result has been that even
they who have been considered will
ing slaves enough turned and fought
hack in a most alarming and revo
lutionary manner.
This is the case today. Labor
everywhere is demanding a larger
share of its products. So is Capita!
opposing these demands with over
increasing intensity. Better organi
zed, capital hr.s at its beck and call
tli-1 armed forces of the nation and
under the plea of preserving order
or protecting property these r.rmed
forces ha.ve boon utilized to break
strikes. So general has the habii
become that the strikes which are
in the nature of things most peace
ful are used as a pretext because
they are strikes to obtain the as
sistance of the soldiers to break the
strikes. Hence they are present In
Anchorage and hence it is that the
workers are growing suspicious 01
tho demands of the larger interests
for a larger army and a more effici
ent military organization.
SIR ROGER CASEMENT.
There’s a tendency among some i
to deify Sir Roger Casement. But j
there is no reason whatever for so |
doing. Sir Roger has done very <
well by the British government, en
joyed honors and salary and title at
its hands. If he was sincere in ae
cepting these things, it is impossible
to understand bis revolutionary
change upon the outbreak of the (
war, and if he was not sincere in (
accepting favors at the hands of the t
British government, we can’t see how *
lie is to credited with noblo contl- c
ments when dickering with Germany
He is not another Napper Tandy. We i
should respect just as much the
[ member of the Royal Irish Con
stabulary, the Irish Cossacks, who
having during peaceful days helped
, the economic exploitation of t ie
Irish peasantry, in the stormy hours
! becomes a violent patriot.
| If we must have gods to worship
we want to see that they are not
all clay.
PACIFICIST PARADK.
A pacificist parade two miles long
marched through Dubuque, Iowa.
It’s hard to tell what their objects
are. it is reasonable to suppose
that they have been forgetting about
the actual and historic things that
are happening; that every nation 1?
in war or to prepare for war.
Peace, peace and there is no peace.
But a parade is a parade and doubt
less some politicians enjoyed it and
will profit by it. On with the dance!
STEED TRUST EARNINGS.
--
The earnings of the Steel trust
have broken all records. Prosperity
is here with its cornucopia emptying
the joys of production profits with
lavish hand upon those who produce
nothing. Who mentioned Youngs
town in this connection?
YUAN SHI KAI.
Old man Yarn Shi Kai is unfortu
nate. Were it not for this great j
war in Eniope he undoubtedly
would be the world’s central figure,
but now with the Great War over
shadowing all the lesser things,
Yuan is almost forgotten and almost
completely ignored by the headlin
ers in the day’s news.
Old man Yuan however has done
very well. He has dominated the
country without any particular effi
ciency and he has given temporary
expression to an ambition to become
emperor. It’s refreshing in this ra
dical and material age to find one
undismayed by the fate of Kings,
longing to take up a crown and
scepter and rule his people and if
his life ends in an execution, at
least he will have ■ truly imperial
precedent for the ending.
WHY A “HOME"?
One of the acts for which mem
bers of the first session of the Al
aska legislature have been patting
themselves on the back ever
since has been the establishment of
a happy home for tho pioneer Al
askans in Sitka. The cost is slight
ly over a dollar a day to the man.
and if instead of such a home the
cost of its maintenance wero distri- •
buted among the men who now re-*
side there, as a pension increase, so
that they could live in their own
respective divisions, the country and
the pioneers would be the hap
pier.
As it is now quite a number of
worthy old pioneers whose financial
treasury Is destitute of funds and
whose outlook fot- the future is the
darkest, shrink from accepting a
haven of refuge in the home be
cause it smacks too much of the
workhouse, and they want no
‘pogie" in theirs.
ABOUT TIME FOR ACTION.
That Nome is on tho high road
:o a municipalized coal yard, pump- i
ng and lighting plant we do r.ot j
:or one minute believe, and we will i
my why. Not a single one of the j
iromoters of this scheme have at- J
emptod to bring this matter to a I
iractical basis. They have endorsed j
die plan as a feasible one, but they j
tave not got down to any actual j
'stlmates in black and white and i
dollars and cents of up-lceep, main- j
enance and construction. They j
ire living in the air and want every j
me else to do so.
We know of no moro effective J
ind no more oft-tried method of
aide tracking plans than by just
such a system of gcneralization
which never gets down to business
and never even assupies r. practical
enough form to materialize. We
notice considerable hesitancy upon
the part of all its leading support
ers in the matter of the coal yard
Even those who swell up with en
thusiasm at the idea of a pumping
and lighting plant refer with some
diffidence as to the coal yard. Why
is this? Is it that there Is any great
er degree of uncertainty as to the
possibility of realizing one than the
other?
It surely is about time the pro
moters of these schemes got down !
to business, that is unless it’s a poli
tical business purely and simply ana
that of course is another story. We
might as well know where we are
at.
ROOT.
The devotion of the stand pats
to Root is pathetic but very beautiful
Their sorrow that this soulful cor
poration lawyer is unappreciated by
the country is something to wonder
at and admire. Rut so it is. They
view without enthusiasm the ef
forts of the G. O. P’s to honor Root
whose magniloquent speeches at the
New York constitutional convention
were republished all the country
over as of unequalled and unap
proachable highmindedness.
But the people are unapprecia
tive and they know where Root
stands and with what regard the
people in turn are venerated by the
New York lawyer. Therefore it is
with regret that the republican or
ganization understands that access
to the sweets of office will never be
obtained through a Root nomination,
any more than through that of a
Taft.
HONESTLY WHICH?
If the government were to deter
mine to spend the price of couple
of superd read naughts in the con
struction of roads and trails !o Al
aska, which would be the better form
of national preparedness from the
viewpoint of common sense?
HANDSOME GRAFT.
The railroad mediator who en- j
joys a sunny junketting trip to An- j
chorage at so much per day, may j
not help to build many railroads,
but he has the pleasing knowledge
that he is enjoying an unusual and |
unhampered graft, and when such a
mediator takes months to report'
who, with a knowledge of such func
tionaries, will consider it unex
pected ?
NOW IS THE TIME.
As the bright sunny days are com
ing on, have your clothes cleaned,
pressed and repaired.
