W'AK.
We suppose war is inevitable with
Germany. Everything that has been
done for the past few months indi
cates that this is so. But that does
not prevent individuals from think
ing that the prospect of war is to
be discouraged and the policy that
leads thereto to be condemned.
We believe t hat Wilson was elect
ed upon the slogan that iie kept the
country out of war. and he has
failed putting forth as strenuous an
effort to keep the country out ot
war with German? since election
as he did before.
\Vt do not pretend to justify the
German submarine outrages. But
neither an the munition trade with
the belligerents be justified. It is
no argument that Germany and
any oiler nation would do the same
tiling. The I'nited States lias al
way.- atiected a higher politcal and
national principle titan any other
country.
It i- not the people of America
who are rushing the country into
war. It t- that small, that very
small settion of the people who have
insisted in stuffing their pockets
with gold coins clotted togethei
with the Idood of the victims ot
their munitions.
Amerh a neutral was to be a guid
ing light to all the rest of the world.
America at war will place this coun
try upon the same inglorious le\ei
of the thoughtless despotisms that
are rushing their folk to light lot
the spoils.
That American lives should be de
fended, who may deny? But that
Americans owed it to their country
to pursue such a circumspect course
as not to jeopardize peace and neu
trality of the country who may safe
ly controvert?
All nations are much of a parity
There is so little better principle
animating the rulers of one than
the rulers of the other, that the
safety of a democratic republic lies
only in an appeal to the final voice
of the peojde.
It is they who will have to do the
fighting and it seems only right and
fair and reasonable that the final
say in the matter of war should he
left to the vote of the entire people.
Australia lias set a beacon light
for the nations which follow the
course of human liberty in submitt
ing the question of conscription to a
reft r -ndum. The militarist.- among
them howled its certain passage
when it was ( rushingly defeated.
There is now. in the I'nitc ! St::!- .
just as positive sentiment against
war. although all the newspapers
raise their voice in hoarse unison
in a frantic effort to rouse the blood
lust of the peojde.
it is the aftermath that tells. Turn
to the European nations today and
we find that the soberest thought
is not in the papers but comes from
tie battlefield where the suffering,
the death and the destruction ap
peals to that sober mindedness as
i lie hopeless national Insanity.
Nothing can bring those valiant
Jives back again. Nothing can stir
again the red flesh and the lively
hearts that beat high once upon a
time with love and hope: these help
less gladiators butchered to make
a ruler’s holiday have not the same
fanatic vision that once urged them
to battle. War. as Sherman said. Is
hell. And lie said it of a war to
free human beings from chattel
slavery! A war to afford munition
traffickers free ocean lanes to pur
vey their bloody goods, must be the
deepest of infernos, surely not to tie
lightly entered upon.
“THE (JEXKRAIi
The announcement is made that
over one hundred and fifty thousand
men are all ready to go to Europe
under the command of “General'
Roosevelt who will command them
there, may be somewhere in France.
This is very interesting and sug
gestive.
Here have been the followers ot
this playful and harmless Christian
soldier howling their heads off for
compulsory military training and
I they have made so much about it
that the government is now fairly
on the way.
Theodore the First is as we under
stand it a civilian. A civilian oi
course who saw some short service
at Tea Kettle Hill in Cuba, but
nevertheless compared with what is
meant by military training stiii a
civilian. He never studied military
"art'' in Westpoint. He has no con
ception of a professional soldier's
duties and it is fair to consider him
as just a plain citizen, a somewhat
astute politician, and a statesman
with a keen desire to saddle himselt
again in the presidential chair for
another term.
This knocks spots off the compul
sory training dope. If Teddy is
good enough to be a general with
out real scientific training, the avcr
: igt citizen is good enough to be gun
fodder without any particular train
ing also.
It may be all right to urge that
Teddy is not militaristicalh skilled
enough to lead—but who would say
that to the ''general”?

Kciitor, industrial Worker:
In a recent issue of The Eskimo
was an article by Walter Shields j
commenting upon the writer's criti-j
, isms of the Bureau of Education's
lack of medical efficiency in this dls- !
trict. and also expressing the belief!
that the difficulty ot that part of;
the Bureau's work was not appre-J
i-iated.
The writer is well acquainted with !
the ditfi< ulties that tlie Bureau's of- t
peers have through the lack of the!
necessary funds and is in full ac- j
(ord with them in t^ieir efforts to!
ameliorate the Ksquimaux's condi
tion and develop their possibilities,
and in portraying a necessity that
is admitted and can and should lie
remedied, pleads guilty to construc
tive. not destructive criticism.
As regards higher education, the
mind of the Esquimaux should be
developed to its fullest efficiency,
but not at the expense of an un
sound body or at the expense of in
sufficient industrial training, or in
other words a secular education
should be based upon industrial effi
ciency.
- Here tlie kindergarted idea is a
fact for six years. and under the
[ guidance of Miss Rock, a graduate
j of Vnalakleet's schools, is an effec
! tive force in the development of the
| childern's mind.
i The higher grades under Mr. Van
> N'es are taught among other tilings
! physics. algebra, general history,
j etc., etc., and under the guidance ot
Mrs. Van Ness music is taught.
There is also an industrial school
here which lacks efficiency through
| the inability of the teacher to get
j the necessary material to give his
pupils the full benefit ot a mechan
| ical training.
l’upils thus equipped are not as
efficient in the struggle for exist
ence as those whose secular educa
tion is secondary to an industrial
education. It must lie recollected
that in dealing with the Esquimaux
they have but lately advanced to the
pastoral state of civlfzation and that
their secular education should tie in
accord with, but in advance of. their
method of making a living. Many
of them show marked mechanical in
telligence, this intelligence should
be developed to the utmost as it is
necessary to the future of the race
that other methods in conjunction
with the deer should be used it
they are to take their place as citi
zens in the future of Alaska.
Appended is the number of cases
! treated by Mrs. Van Ness. The
amount is a strong argument in
favor of competent medical supervi
sion :
July 1916. 120, August 90. Sep
tember 98. Oetooer 120, November
99. December 119. January 1917,
