When war broke out in Europe, i
lilt- American newspaper world with I
wonderful accord blamed most of it
upon secret diplomacy and the as
sertion was made not in one but in
a scon of papers of every hue that
had the peoples of those nations
been taken into the confidence of
the governments, had there been, in
iinc. a d mocracy. real and vital, ex
tant in a single one of those coun
tries there would have been no war.
That may have been so. in truth.
But the instruction that sin li an un
toward series of events have giver
the United States does not seem to
have been remembered. Here is
America in the midst of a crisis of
grave international import, when
the slightest misstep may hurl the
countr> into war’s destructiveness
with not a policy known and not a
course advertised for popular or even
congressional aproval if there was
ever at any time secret diplomacy it
is in evidence in the executive depart
ments of the nation today. i’resi- I
dent Wilson. Hobert Landing and 1
Colonel House w hose wisdom and J
statesmanship may tie above the j
average, hut who are not above or- j
ror in any event, are the men who!
practically have the disposal of the j
nation's fate within their hands.
And if there is anything known aim
positively certain about the present
inti rii.itiona 1 situation it is that the
P> :>ple know nothing.
The gravity of the < risis is felt
vcrywiiere. Stocks are tumbling
like tiie bricks from a falling house
round about tlie people’s ears, yet
V\ ii-'on gives no sign and Hanging
has nothing to say” and Colonel
House the mysterious national ma
jor domo looks "grave and silent".
Here's secret diplomacy with a 1
veiig* ance which outdoes the reti
cence and mystery and secrecy of
Europe.
Truly one may behold the molt
in one's neighbor’s eye without tak
ing any stock of the beam in one’s
own eyes.

Some of the papers on the Out
side are having their own fun at
tlie idea of Alaska going dry. That
gets their goat. They are unable
to" understand it. Their knowledge
of Alaska is taken from books and
movies wherein the saloon is always
a characteristic feature. The Al
aska miner, a be-whiskered raon
strosity in weird garb, goes up to
tie bar with an open poke holler
"Conie on iiovs”, and tlie
lie; '' nothing loth line up and
name their Inker. Then these red
bloodtd ginks set out on the trail
. d rescue noble womanhood that
r-minds the old timer of his folks
■ Imtue and tli- wedding bells ring
w: i tiny strike it rich on an el
. in where the t.i.g . - > have the
,i hides on the beach backed off the
le.i: for si/.e and quantity. The
N. rth to . whole lot of people is a
land of giddy dance halls and blaz
ii . loons while the saloonist and
tic gambler is t lie be-diamondeo
m nt who takes his chance with the
rest.
it is all very picturesque, but it
is not true to life. Alaska is a
land of over-alls and mosquito nets
i. summer time, denim parkas and
leather mitts in winter. The saloon
ist will shake a stiff of his roll just
as fast as in the tougtiest dive out
1 side and sad experience' lias warned
l the miner and eke the prospector to
keep his mitts on his poke when lit
wets his whistle. Alaska has its
I confidence men who invite to a lit
I tie game of chance hanging around
tile liar and its cosy corners and
roomlets off the saloon bar where
the little game will make the patron
a sadder and a wiser man.
There's no peotry but a lot of
dirty prose about the Alaska sa»
loon, and that’s why it got it in the
neck at the last election. It does
not deserve the requiems that out
side papers are bestowing upon it;
passing. It is without question e
damn good riddance.
