Nome, Alaska, April 2, IHI7.
VKI11 IM.KASANT.
Juneau is a hospitable city, and it
is very pleasant to note that an
effort is being made by the leading
folk of that capital city to afford
the legislators a good time.
It is much more pleasant to en
joy social functions than to per
form the dry-as-dust duties of the
politician. Besides, after all. one
experiences difficulties in making
good upon the manifold promises,
and it is delightful to leave the fal
len leaves of unfulfilled pledges to
enjoy the flower gardens of recep
tions and jukettinR.
The legislature litis been in ses
sion, a full month. During that time
they have introduced many hills.
Some of them will die a-horning.
They have made government holi
days, they have memorialized t on
gross on one thing or another. They
have endorsed and denounced, hut
■ it practical legislation they have
done nothing. The, have still a
month remaining. They have had a
blow out with tin Gastineau mine,
several with tho Governor, a junk
etting trip with the Treadwell and
the fisheries, it is To be believed,
have been scattering the posies of
hospitality in the way of the hard
working steps of the legislators.
It is on the whole quite a stirr
ing record, and one certainly feels
that the legislature has done nobly
in an effort to equal the occasion.
it is possible after they have had
a surfeit of capital hospitality they
may turn at last to the fulfilment of
their pledges and the mandates of
i lie people.

TIIH SWISS SYSTEM.
livery now and then when s one
one with a militarist craze breaks
loose the> turn to Switzerland and
point out real democracy for you.
Yes, Sir. the real sirnon pure demo
cratic army system in the world is
in Switzerland, where every man
lias his own gun and. runs to the
defense of the Fatherland and
other tilings when called upon.
Philip Schaefer is himself a Swit
zer. He gave lirst hand evidence
of conditions in Switzerland and de
veloped how ineffably it tends to j
boost freedom and equality, et
cetera, in the little European re
public. This is what he said (he
was speaking before the Senate com
mittee on Military Affairs.!:
"Tlie Swiss workingman cannot
afford to become an officer, or en
able his son to become an officer. |
Wlu-n I served tm time in the army
of tin canton of Zurich every officer
of my division was of the middle
or wealthy class. One was the son
of the richest family in Switzerland;
another owned a mill employing
5000 people. When a strike came
in that mill, the troops from the
country districts wire called out,
because they were kept at enmity
-with the wage workers, and these
farmer soldiers smashed the strike
with great violence such as you
would expect.
Last year a cavalry regiment,
made up of people rich enough to
keep a horse throughout the year
for this purpose, was sent against
a peace parade of young men and
trampled them down like dogs.
The Swiss soldiers family may
starve while he is compelled to serve
I his time. He gets only ten cents a
(lay in one period of service and ltj
cents a day in another. With that
he must provide his own shoes,
socks, underclothing and laundry
and extras. His officers treat him
about as Prussian soldiers are treat
ed. for the line of wealth, which is
the line of caste, is between them,
if he protests against harsh usage
he gets three davs in the dungeon.
The Swiss army does not save
Switzerland from foreign aggression.
Tin interest of surrounding powers
does i hat. Germany has the men
nearby by which any day siie could
walk all through the northern part
of the country. Switzerland’s armj,
if they defended the mountain fortt
filiations would he starved out in a
week or so".
There’s first hand experience
not hearsay. Schaefer served in tlie
ranks and knows what he is talk
ing about. Tht- regimental tinsel
cuts no lijL ure with him. and he
thinks exceedingly clearly as to the
actual value of the Swiss army. It
it was no: to the interest of the
powers to prevent the other chewing
Switzerland up Switzerland wouldn't
last as long us a snowball in Hades,
army ami all. For all its uses they
might as v.ell have no army at all,
hut what about labor troubles? And
there is where the rub lies. The
Swiss army keeps the workers in
their place. There is that much ot
a democratic function which it 19
called upon to perform. It wilt
preserve “order", capitalist brand,
and assure the uninterrupted ex
ploitation of the slaves.
And here have been the prepara
tionists avoiding the Swiss system
because it was dangerous, that it
trusted too many radicals with
their own gun?! As we see now
these fears were quite groundless—
i.ay. that tin Swiss system is from
every point of view ideal. .Inst
imagine il! Could any other type ot
democratic citizen army he imagined
at all so ei'leclive! The Swiss system
is worth the attention of these pre
paredness men indeed.
M AMITI. A TOKS.
Shortly before the former C'on
yr..-s passed into history the matter
of appropriating money to investi
gate food manipulation was up be
fore the House, and both sides vied
with ot.e another in denouncing
sin li manipulators and said that all
who were so found should be sent
to jail.
But why? Isn't it business? isn't
it right for these men who so mani
pulate the-products, buy and sell or
manufacture them, to do so? What
they do, is it not what is done on
a larger or smaller scale by every
perfectly legitimate business man?
Those men are now charity mongers,
nor are they philanthropists. They
are men prominent in industrial
and commercial positions and who
devote their time to the production
of profits. If it so be that human
suffering and human privation fol
low from these manipulations, what
litis that get to do with it so long
us there are profits forthcoming?
I’rofit. gain—is not that thc
etid of all business as wealth accum
ulation is the incentive? Most as
suredly so. That is the
system, and when this man or that
gets the best of the deal and in do
ing so causes all kinds of suffering,
why kick about it? The principle
is the same. It is the capitalist
economy of which they are all de
fenders. If they were to propose
that human welfare not private pro
fit were to be the end of human ac
tivties then their position would be
intelligible. As it is, it is not. They
have no kick coming.
