“Tin: i m:mim.oyki>.
Readers of the papers may have
noticed within recent years when
reference is made to the unem
ployed, a new word descriptive
enough dealing with a class of men
hitherto unclasclfied and termed
tlie “unemployable”.
Recently the head of one of the
charity organizations complained
that notwithstanding such good
times in tlie East, very little money
was forthcoming for them. Aim
it was as urgent in good times as
in had times, for they dealt witn
the unemployable.
The men included in this class
are all the industrial derelicts
They comprise the physically unfit
the diseased, the maimed, the
wasted, the aged, the confirmed dip
somaniacs, drug fiends and the rest.
They are offsprings of tho system
which has thrown them into tin
discard and which is throwing daily
many of them into it.
They are regarded as a serious
problem and ways and means are
considered for handling such a. pro
blem.
The employ! r of labor wants the
physically fit and where possible the
mentally alert. He places a pre
mium upon skill and experience by
paying higher wages, because lie
feels that such skill and experi
ence will more than reproduce the
outlay in such higher remuneration,
lint industry has no place for the
unfit: the man who physically lias
past his prime or who has been
maimed or diseased at his voca
tion.
Day in and day out tlie industrial
system grinds out these men who
are to tie classed as a problem, ana
their number is increasing in every
country without exception under
tlie sun. Whercever the present
industrial system is in its full blown
prime, there we can note these in
dustrial derelicts despite preventive
measures. They are numerous in
Germany, in France, in Great l!ri
tain and in the United States an t
they are increasing in the Unite,1
States in a faster ratio than in any
country in the world.
It is the one ' brushing fact
about this rapid i ■ ■ i'i the
iitimber of unemployable iliat al>
solutely nothing is being done*to
cope with tbo problem. Neither by
adequate legislation nor by social
work Ii ■' any really serion ■ a .tern:-;
be. n made to do so. The waste
of human Ilf© In' American indus
tries is shocking, but the \va; l bv
di. ease due to industrial life is still
a appalling. It la n m: tt<
iloiu considered becau-e of the vt-rv
ituple fact that it is leu terrible to
t ousidcr.
Yet it is the trail that capitalism
Jeeves behind it: red with maimin'-;
-,nd violent de Hi , foul with
blagues and f.stcrlng 111 nor as;
When the nropoyition of con. 1 r
\ation wos up before the cnimtr'
and it occupied the attention of the
politicians until they wearied of
.. . u a : - notorious plaything, the
(position rinse what about the need- '
I fail
question was not un wered. It
would mean business interference
and would necessitate paternalism
and oilier unpleasant, and as they j
said in a high flown inslnrero, pa
triotic manner, most un-American
action.
Now conservation is placed upon
the shelf; the resources of the!
country are being thrown open to
adventurous capital for its gorging
and the whole llim-llam agitation
quite forgotten. Instead prepara
tion lias taken its place, and the
question arises as it arose during
the conservation discussion what o,
the preparation that began at .
home? What of the necessity of sav- :
ing and protecting human life In .
the American industrial world? 1.

Aniei lean industries.
What about these unemployable?
Eour-fiith . of tlie physically tiiiltt
are victims of llie American indus
trial system; four-fifths are victims
of it v.T • liter they are moral oi
| physically unlit. Their vices were
absorbed as were their illness or
their maiming or their premature
| aging by reason of the unwonted
scramble for profits upon the part
| of employers.
j Why is it that coal miners lives
can be sacriiied to the greed of em
ployers who refuse to instill safety
appliances with not a soul stirring
in resentment, and the country
stands aghast when a single life is
sacrificed in European waters when
on a quest for illegitimate profit
Why is it that American lives, n
workers liv s, can be packed into
the slums and hell holes of the city
tenements to breed ' vice, disease
and crime and there is no national
action while the entire national
honor is felt to lie flouted if a
Standard Oil tanker is submarined'
Surely there must lie sonic rea

why all kinds of hideous indust"iai
conditions are tolerated not un

take a look at the list of tincm

THE 1'HtST GOAT.
The first boat will soon be here,
it is the Coast Guard steamer Hear
and will bring the mail. But it will
bring the mail -only. And Its ar
rival will not stimulate the ima
gination and the sentiment of the
folks in Nome as did the old reli
able Corwin. The Bear is not like
the old Corwin at all. The Corwin
| brought more than the mall. With- !
in its capacious hold it managed to j
bring to these isolated northern
shores fruits and vegetables and
other delectables which the cams
was Ions denied. The green onions j
may have been faded to a frazzle,
the radishes slippery with decay,
the lettuce foaming at the mouth
after the long sea voyage—the eggs
may have reached an antiquity ,
would have made old Methuseleii
green wi.n envy, ar.'i oven been
lucre venerable than tuose wb.ci.
regaled our own winters. Still they
w'jre the connecting link with
chechaeodom and wore more than
welcome If some of Oiz merchants
purchased but a baker’s dozen ot
these Corwin eggs and thereupon
sold them by the case, stripping
their own winters’ store to do so.
the people winked at the deceit and
bought the hen fruit for the name
they bore and cheerfully paid the
price. Was it not a harmless deceit
venerable with the age-old practice
of buying and selling—old as the
eggs themselves?
This year there comes no Cor
win. That proud littla vessel has
' deserted us. Donning war paint in
Jits old age and flying the battle flag
j of a southern republic when ships
j of similar antiquity should he rest
ing in a respectable old age of re
tirement in the hone yard—this
j archaic craft wanders in the wan
: toness of painted faithlessness along
! Mexican w aters, forgetful of the j
' North which was always proud to j
j welcome it.
The Bear will, to be sure, be also j
I welcome. But not in the cense tna: j
i one welcomed the Corwin. Without
1 its savory cargo the Bear can never j
| expect to hold the place did the j
1 Corwin hold in the esteem of this '
city. It is immaterial that the Bear
comes tricked out in white paint
and decorated with glistering spars
i and shinning brass work, it is
| immaterial that it is opulent with a
gold braided staff and uniformed
crew making its outward semblance
typify the national prowess in Nep
! tune's realm. Avast those things!
The heart turns to the green oni
ons, the grape fruit and the egg as
the hart panteth in the wilderness
for water. The window dir plays
that follow the arrival of the Bear
I are a hollow emptiness compared
to the green grocered splendors that
were shown when the old Corwin
anchored at the ice edge and the
dogmen fought in rivalry for its
freight.
Though the Bear brings the mail
and the news from friends afar,
j these things rival not the aromatic
j memory of Corwin lien fruit. That
j was a more lasting memory than
the effeminate delights of "column
| ideations and correspondence".
That was a more pungent link with
| the groat outside than the mere
: mail bag connection comes with the
Bear.
It is not unreasonable then that
so many hearts turn back to the
prouder days when the Old Corwin
hove in sight. There was the amoii
of tropic fruit upon its decks, and
tlie reminiscence of a truck garden
in the sight of its darkened hull;
the very whistle wa3 a reminder
of the cackle of the faithful lieu
(that years ego in the discharge ot
fits duty enabled the Corwin to
bring "fresh eggs" in cold storage
purity to these shores.
What can I lie Bear bring to com
pare with tlioio precious memories.
