I'NPKK CONTROL?
Secretary Lansing's intimation |
tliat peace will come if only sell
restraint and coolness and adminis
tration support is in evidence
throughout the country, would ap-j
pear to indicate that administra
tions can make or mar the events.
This is subtly like the grocer's ad
vertisement "We lay our own eggs
and hence they are always fresh”.
The German activities of the 1* boats
may be a trifle that is overlooked.

The Juneau papers have been
publishing long extracts from Gov
ernor Strong's Annual Report. It
is with regret it is admitted that
for some reason this office is denied
the privilege of getting a copy ot
this public document. There may
be some reason; we know of none.
KCONOMI/.INU.
With no intention of disparaging
tlio activity of the Chamber of Com
merce in the matter of investigating1
the question of closing the public
schools during January with the ob
ject of saving the heat and light \
expenses of tlie school it may not
unreasonably be asked why it is that .
iwdien the question of municipal eco-|
n.omy comes up, the public seems
to inherit the notion that the schools
must first receive the benefit of the!
economical pruning hook.
Vet so it is. For years now, tilt '
question of the cost of school main- .
tenance lias engaged the public at
tention to the exclusion of every
other field where such could be pro
fitably practiced.
Take the Nome Fire Department.!
When the city was twice as popu-1
lous and the stores filled with vastei
stocks of merchandise, the Fire De
parttnent was little if any more ex- i
pensive than today.
Moreover, this city is with the j
village population maintaining a |
metropolitan scale of extravagance
in its fire fighting system that is
just a piece of wholesale extra
vagance.
In other sections of Alaska they
enjoy an effective fire figliling orga
nization with a volunteer system
and there is no reason why this
should not replace the present
wasteful method
When fires break out, the present
organization is unable by itself to
handle any fire of any serious ex
tent. There must be volunteers and
with just sufficient staff on hand to
tend to the equipment, it would ap
pear that the volunteer system could
fill the bill.
MOOXKY'S t’OXVlCTIOX.
The conviction of Mooney by a
San Francisco Jury is a matter
which cannot lightly be regarded.
Persisting in liis own innocence,
there will be many who will credit
his assertions despite the verdict.
The methods employed by the pro
secution are not those usually re
quired to convict men red handed
with guilt. The methods of the
prosecution are strong testimony to
Mooney's innocence.
SIGXIFK'AXT.
An exchange dwells most correct
ly upon the significance of a speech
delivered by the British Under Sec
retary and delivered at Glascow
wherein that official dealt with labor
problems after the war. He said
that for good or ill there could be
no going back to pre-bellum condi
tions and the rights and securities
and guarantees which unionist labor
had secured but which they had per
mitted to lapse during the war
would remain lapsed. And he sug
gested that now was the time for
workers and employers to get to
gether to consider the post helium
conditions which they had to face.
In this connection also it is point
ed out that French capitalists in
vited the president of the Confed
eration General Du Travail to meet
them and to discuss the same pro
blem. And this that official did
approvingly.
Furthermore the well know editor
of former radical journals, Gustave
ilerve, the leader at one time of ra
dical extremists has declared that
there will hereafter be an entente
between capital and labor.
All of which doubtless is very
significant. But man proposes and
economic compulsion disposes and it
any of us think that the war has
lightened the essentially competitive
and cruelly competitive nature ol
the system they are greatly at
fault Conditions that existed before
the war whether social or psycholo
gical existed by reason of things
over which relatively few if any had
any control whatever.
There was no personal factor
therein. It is fashionable to blame
social eruptions oil agitators, just as
the simple minded of old blamed a
volcano upon the Gods whose fur
naces were underneath. But the
conditions in society primarily and
lastly inspired the discontent which
drove to eruptive revolt in France,
in Kngland or anywhere else. So
therefore, after this war is over the
degree of quietude that may super
vene will depend entirely upon eco
nomic conditions. If, for one in
stant it is supposed that the work
ers will go back to their rat holes
and dungheaps and there again
will labor and toil and hopelessly
drudge for a master class, with
these same elements of social revo
lution sowing the seed of economic
discontent, the same old conditions
will revive and revive intensified.
We give credit to American bus
inessmen for considerable acumen.
Usually they attain their commercial
position bv sheer ability as well and
as often as sheer callousness. Quite
recently before a gathering of his
colleagues, the President of the Ca
lifornia Fanners Association return
ing from a trip to Europe said that
the consumptive capacity of that
continent would be vastly increased
for the people as a result of the war
were in no mood to return to the
conditions of privation and depriva
tion existed in pre-bellum days.
That opinion was based from ex
periences derived from close obser
vation of conditions and doubtless is
authoritative. In any event we
can be sure of this that if there is
any effort made to revert to the
fierce economic oppression that ex
isted befqre the war, there will also
follow from such an exciting cause
onditions of revolt and class anta
gonism which will be far more In
tensified than ever before and which
will have consequences which none
can forsee.
The hope that quietude will pre
vail and that after peace the work
ers will return to their previous
condition an unmurmmuring class
uf subdued men and women is only
to be accepted as possible If we
were to deny the obvious fact that
economic discontent is the definite,
positive and very certain effect of
economic, conditions.
And that is nevertheless one ot
the most frequently disregarded
facts of our time. It Is not recog
nized that the conditions in the
labor movement which employers
complain of are born right within
the conditions that employers them
selves provide on the job.
Very much more depends upon
the employers, as to what conditions
will exist after the war, than the
employers themselves are free to ad
mit. They are the first to blame
the results of those conditions
which they have provided for the
workers upon some personal factors
as the agitators or union officials
when the real agitating cause exists
right upon the job.
It is hopeless to expect that by
stifling results and burying effects
these can be permanently destroyed
if the exciting causes go on. And
this may well be remembered by
those who look to the future with
some sort of misgiving.
