PARTNERS.
That was an int resting item to
the effect that several partners em
ployed in Olson’s camp and who
worked ten hours a day were laid
off and paid off. How this was done
under the partnership agreement,
witness sayeth not. But it appears
it was done.
Certainly among the products ot
the Second Division none has the
earmarks of genius so distinctive
as this conception of partnership.
The while other camps have been
worrying along obeying the eight
hour law under ground, the second
establishes its own condition in the
form of partnerships. The method
is so simple. The slave is taken into
the office. "Sign here please”, says
the Boss. “What is it”? timorously
asks the slave. “You can read it",
says the Boss. ”1 can’t read”, says
the slave. “Well it’s something for
your benefit” and the Slave signs.
This method of carrying on a ten
hour day despite the law to the
contrary speaks certainly well for
the high efficiency of Nome official
l
i
dom.
It is a blessing the Rcdlight ques
tion has arisen to direct attention
from this annoying problem.
CAUSE AM) EFFECT.
As long las there is poverty so long
will there be tuberculosis. At least
so declared Surgeon K. H. Creel ol
the United States Public Health
Service.
They ought to muzzle Doc. Creel.
Mere have the papers been shouting
about good times and the necessity
of the workers accepting a lower
standard of living and here have
been the priests and preachers tell
ing all and sundry that poverty was
one of God’s own blessings and the
workers were almost persuaded that
their poverty was an unavoidable
necessity, when the Creels and the
rest start in discontenting them all.
There are lots of societies for the
abolition of tuberculosis. But how
can there be any abolition of pover
ty when poverty is an essential feat
ure and an essential factor of mo
dern commercial and industrial
greatness?
HA1> TO QUIET.
Enter the Reverend Mercer1
Green Johnston, of late Episcopal
Minister of Holy Trinity Church.
Mercer quit because ho was told
that his resignation would be ap-1
predated by his aristocratic flock.
And the reason for his quitting was
because he took sides with the un
fortunate garni-nt workers who had
to endeavor to live on three and
half a week.
He was told however, long before,
that it was unseemly for him to be
butting into industrial and social
questions. That had nothing to do
with Jesus in the estimation of his
congregation. He said it had. Thai
faith was a personal matter affect
ing one’s personal life.
That’s just the trouble with a
good many of these people. They
live in a Faith about nine hundred
years behind the times. Nowadays
one's faith is a matter adjusted to
one’s economic state. If one is a ca
pitalist with lots of the ready to
hand, one can attend church, pay
for new windows, donate to bazaars,
and pension a bible teacher. One
can dress nicely on Sundays, yank
along a bible and look the part.
That’s religion. During the rest of
the week, it Is a case of do your
neighbor or he'll do you. This thing
of following a spiritual guidance
day and night has been forgotten
long ago. One sheds a command
ment If it interferes with business
just as easily as one sheds
last year’s tattered clothes. Who
ever thinks of keeping holy the Sab
bath day and doing no servile work
thereupon when the orders come
piling in. What has that to do with
the 'operations of Standard Oil re
fineries? What poor ana misguided
mutt is going to follow what Jesus
said should be done and give all
that he hath to the poor? Why, any
! person attempting the like would be
' sent to a sanitarium and he’d have
a harder job getting out than had
Harry K. Thaw.
It's all very well of course to
spring spiritual faiths and that sort
of thing upon the masses. They
need it. A bellyful of prayer may
be some sort of a substitute for
material food. Hope brightens the
hapless home but in “real" life, reli
gion is adjusted to one’s position in
i society.
j Reverend Johnston is a well mean
ing man with an outlook upon man
kind that lacks perspective.
He indeed should understand that
the poor we have always with us,
and there is no use pretending to
make things different. Life can bo
made very pleasant for such as ht
by bending the pregnant hinge3 ol
the knee that thrift may follow
fawning, to uuote the Bard. If not
they lose their jcb.
THERE'S A REASON.

A statistical report claims that
Labor increased its wages fifty mil
lion dollars during the first weeks
in May, affecting three hundred and
fifty thousand men. Ye3, and not i
single one of those enjoy an in
crease without organizing and tak
taking action of their own accord.
Even in the steel plants where in
creases were granted, it is admitted
the increase was granted because
the men were organizing and would
strike. The increase was to forestall
that. Here's proof of the value ot
solidarity. That's all that counts.
You might pray until black in the
face, petition until red in the neck,
but what the workers will get they
will get by action themselves.
We like the title of those rebels
in Ireland “Sein Finn”—meaning
“ourselves”. And the workers
might understand that only by ac
tion taken by themselves with them
selves for themselves will they ever
better their condition one whit.
Therefore Organize. Get together!
An injury to one should be the con
cern of all.
BUT NOT LIKE CAESAR'S WIFE.
The Chairman of the Republican
Territorial Committee in Juneau
took half a column to show that
President Wilson was “politically
dishonest’". It took the Juneau
Empire half a page to attempt to
show that Irving was wrong.. And
he hardly showed it then. At any
rate, Wilson is not like Caesar’s
wife: above republican suspicion.
OF INTEREST TO NOME.
A musher says that while in one
of the roadhouses near this town
when the boats arrived many gangs
which arrived passed through to a
variety of sections. They were ac
companied by oosses who led them
like sheep out of town and to the
camps. paying for them at the
various roadhouses on the way. He
also stated that in the fall the same
thing will be repeated and these
men will leave without spending a
cent in Nome. But that has been
done every year. This year is no
different. What makes the matter
so objectionable is not that they
spend little money in Nome, but
that they work for lower wages
than is paid to residents of this
community. That is why they are
employed and it is why they will
be employed unless they are shown
that it is to their own interest to
ask more and to see that they get
it. That can only come through or
ganization. ‘
