fJntered as second class matter March 1, 1811, ai the post office at
home, Aiassa, under the Act of March 3, 187S
Nome, Alaska. April ! •>, 1910.
The Grand Jury jin.t adjourned
its sessions did a commendable thing
in embodying in their report a con
demnation of tliti Morningside In
sane Asylum. That institution is
a disgrace to the United States
government, a reproach to the admi
nistration and a standing menace to
Alaska.
Tho evidence on this head col
lected by papers, by social bodies,
by high officials, by the Governor
and by the legislators is too un
animous to be other than convic
ing.
Morningside Insane Asylum is a
hell hole and only deep poltical
graft, of the most despicable ana
and petty larceny kind could toler
ate its being continued as the insti
tution to which are consigned the
unfortunates who become mentally
unwell in Alaska.
That the contract should be re
newed by the government in the
face of the evidence as to the kind
of place it is—presented in official
report by legislatures, by Governor
Strong is so astounding a piece of
jobbery that it ought to strike
shame if we could expect any such
thing as shame from such, to the mi
serable politicians responsible for it.
And we hope the day is hero
when every public body on every oc
casion will resolve and denounce
and make public its resolutions ana
denunciations which have been un
availing.
We need not add anything to tie
statement made by tlie Grand Jur>
in its report. Emphatically it was
a. point well taken, and every Gran 1
Jury until the horrible Institution is
abandoned should take this matter
up and see that it receives attention
from tlie Department.
The particulars that have been
collected concerning the treatment
nf Alaskan insane have been of .
nature to shock and horrify—huv
been of such a ghastly and disgrace
ful nature as to suggest that those
responsible for a contract with such
an institution arc bereft of every
humane sentiment and every spar
of sympathy for the suffering.
The attested declarations of thosi
who have been cured and who had a
grim experience of the chamber oi
horrors that Morningside provides,
are such that not even the deft poli
tician cloaking his graft can gloss
over. The irresistible conclusion
is that either the government is in
different to the facts of the case
or is in with Coo in tho detestable
farming of the Alaskan insane.
This must be insisted upon until
some action is taken, and we have
to say that no matter what plea lie
may put forward rs to his work in
Congress, Wickorsliam will have
much ado to live down his neglect
of this infamous contract which has
been condemned by Alaskans for al
most a decade of years.
It is impossible to conceive that
did Wickersham really represent
the people of Alaska—were he
awake to tho intolerable insult the
existence of Morninsidc ns the offi
cial asylum for tho care of the terri
tory’s insane unquestionably is—
were he concerned about this notor
ious scandal he would long ago have
taken action.
instead wo soe him utterly indiff
erent and we coc the matter hope
lessly neglected, no that the govern
ment again renews the infamous
contract, and re-establishes this dis
graceful condition that Alaskans
haye so long and so certainly pro
tested against.
But when every public body in
Alaska takes this matter up; when
it la removed from any prejudiced
sphere and is taken up by all for
the good of all, it is certain that ul
timately the damned and hateful
thing must go.
•j'UK SOURCE OF “DEMOCRACY”.
While deception of the enemy Is
the essence of military technique,
the soldier h:is usually been blunt,
candid and straightforward with his
friends. What lie lacks in duplicity
is supplied mostly by the politicians
acting as the mouthpieces of the
business and tinancial Interests. Bui
your sturdy, plain-spoken son oi
Mars will have none of these tilings,
he is "ill at these numbers,” and
goes straight to his object without
turning to the right or loft. Hence
in the agitation for “preparedness.”
there is more straight talk comes
front a man like Major-General
[Leonard Wood in one address than
in a million politicians and business
men- on the same subject.
Here, for example, is a para
graph extracted from the speech or
the gallant Major General before
the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, and it likes us well in its
blunt directness:
“Universal service is the one sug
gestion that has been most ap
proved. All men need not necessar
ily carry a rifle, but they must do
something for which they are best
fitted. If the proposition was put
up to one thousand bankers m New
York, that with the suffrage goes
the obligation of service, it would
be accepted, if democracy is to pre
vail, we must act on that principle.”
Hurrah, for the Major General!
He knows what ho wants, and where
to go and get it. If a politician or
i other crooked patriot were making
that speech, would he have iuenti
j linl tlie voice of a thousand New
i York bankers with the voice cf dc
' mocrr.cy? He would not; rot in a
jthousand years. Ho would have
[piddled and piffled about the "gioat
; American people,” the patriotic mas
sos, the spirit of our forefathers, I
i and the American Eagle and ah
that sort of tiresome rot. He would
never dare to publicly identify what j
a thousand New York bankers i
wanted as “detnacracy,". He would
,he too afraid that some of his con-j
i tituents might ask him how about
! it, and had he sold out to Wall
j Street and the money interests.
But the Major Geno-al wasn’t
afraid. He fears no man, not he.
Ho isn't terrified by the prospect of
losing votes; ho knows where the
| power is and isn’t afraid to ap
I proach. So, instead of putting it up
! to “the American people”, he goes
straight to the "rulers of ihe Amer
ican people-—a section of them, at
least—a thousand NdW York bank
ers—and what they say is “demo
cracy” for him. The othets don’t
count. With bankers on his side,
what has he to fear? Their voice is
the voice of democracy, and what
ever they want, that is democratic.
He has no time to waste on the
great unwashed herd, the mob of
voters who think they run this coun
try. He knows his “thousand New
Y'ork bankers” outweigh them all
Let the miserable, time-serving poli
ticians flatter the mob. He disdains
any such dirty work, unfit for a
soldier and a brave, straight forward
man. He knows what they arc, and
knows, too, that they are only use
ful for cannon foddor, and if the
see that they rro drilled and be
devilled and "jacked up and bawled
out” until all that damned non
sense that they mistake for “demo
cacy” is Bhakon out of them.
Perhaps the Major Gonoral Isn’t
“oternally” right. But he is unde
niably right as to present conditions.
Whatever we may call our political
fetish, “democracy” or any other
name, it is represented by bankers,
financiers and business men, »nd by
none else, and by going straight to
the fountain head Major General
Wood shows, at least, that he un
derstands tho situation thoroughly.

When this war ends the only sol

For the professional soldiers who i
constituted the first lino of troops
of Russia, Germany, Austria, France
anil England are all gone—helpless
cripples or dead men.
Those trained, obedient, profes
sional troops upon whom the dynas
tic masters of Europe could depend
to keep their subjects in subjection
have boen annihilated. *
When the war ends, the common
people of the fighting countries will
be veteran soldiers, used to arms,
j accustomed to danger and to battle
and in possession of the weapons
and munitions of war.
They can seize the reins of gov
ernment and chase every monarch
and every noble in Europe into the
Atlantic if they want to—and to do
it without a‘struggle.
Will they do it?
It is almost certain that the peo- i
pie of Russia will depose the auto- '
cracy and set up a constitutional
republic or a Social Democracy.
There is much reason to believe j
I that the Socialists and labor unions 1
! -usually synonymous terms in Eu- ,
rope will secure control of the.;
' British parliament, the French as
sembly, the Italian parliament, the
j German reichstag, and the Austrian
I Hungarian diet—-and that they will j
at least try the experiment of in
| ternational social and political solid
: arity.
j And in that case the world would
I enter upon a new phase of history
making as epochal as the fall of
; great Rome, the overthrow of feu
dalism or the powerful and bene
ficent blows of the American revolu
tion and the French revolution upon
the divine rights of kings.
But whether these^ things occur or
not, no thoughtful mind will for a
moment believe that the peace nego
tiations of the sovereigns and diplo
mats will write finis to this most
wonderful and most momentous
chaptei*ever written into the history
of our race.
The world-forces originated or
unloosed by this tremendous war
are not to be laid to sleep by any
mere documentary treaties or di
plomatic agreements.
The common millions of Europe
have tasted both blood and liberty,
and learned their masters’ senseless
ness and weakness and their Own
irresistible strength.
In some form or other they
mean to make over the social world
in which millions have had so much
i toil and hardship and unhappiness
| and the few so much ease, luxury
J and power.
We think that, in the main, this
■■ will be accomplished by peaceful
' methods and that the next decade
; will see a democratized, socialized
and marvelously efficient industrial
Europe rise from the ruin of this
gigantic warfare.
Possibly there may also arise, as
a nobler and more splendid result
a federation of the white race
which, from its parliament and high
courts of justice, may finally extend
peace and order and social righte
ousness over every sea and conti
nent ahd to ,every nation, tribe and
kindred in the world.—New York
