Kntered as second class matter March 1. 1911, a* the post office a(
(Some, Alaska, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Nome. Alaska, Kolmar,v 28, 1910.
Workingmen must fool some sa
tisfaction over the fact that at least
they are not likely to he responsible
for any war that may break out
anywhere. They are not likely to
be found on armed or unarmed lin
ers, and the loss of their lives is not
at all likely to provoke the St -.te
Department into sending notes to
various belligerents. Their ships
will not be seized on the High Seas
and detained by the British, nor is
such a seizure of workingmen's
ships at all likely to occasion a re
opening of that somewhat contenti
ous question of the -freedof the
seas.
They are not likely to bo ac
cused of flagrant broaches of neu
trality because they export munitions
or subscribe to a billion dollbr
fund; nor are they at all likely to
• become the subject matters of diplo
matic conversations relative to their
ill treatment at the hard cf var
ious officials in the belligerent na
tions.
In return for this mighty privi
lege they are however called upon
to accept : theoretical share in
“our ships," “our export; ", “our over
sea trade" and when thrt is me
naced. threatened or injured to ris;
as one man to wipe out the in
sult.
That’s the flattering position of the
workers. Without property at stake
without money involved, they are'
privileged to hold a sentimental in
terest in the other fellow's property
and the other follow's money, ana
to fight and die for it just the
same. «
This theory ia called preparedness
and that condition is called patriot
ism. But of course it would be
neither judicious nor prudent to
expose things as they are.
We have had the pleasure from
time to time of reading belligerent
papers and like many another scan
ned with deep interest the portraits
on a somewhat melancholy page en
titled “Dead on the Field ol
Honor".
They wore most of them, young,
line looking, up-standng cleanly
looking men. They were all of them
officers and all h 1 te i i- be
fore the war of iom; tanking In
“society."
But then thin was no ordinary
common or garden death list. The
vast majority who perished upon
the battieiied were honored with no
such publicity. Unwept, unhonored
and unsung, they lay side by side
iu some unmarked exacavrtion
where they fell with their friends
the enemy, united in the unwarring
stillness that marks the absence of
the spark of life.
They were these who pushed- for
ward the lines or withstood the
foes effort to do so; they were men
who had neithe • fortune, nor social
standing, nor friends in high places.
They were the real fighters who
bore the brunt of an attack and
swept the lines forward in over
whelming and fea lcr.s assaults. But
because of their humble position n >
record is made of tnclr er.d’ng, and
they are rewarded with no space In
that dread portrait page which
gives a wreathe and announces
death at the same timo.
And those are the same people
who cause no war. They had no
cause to feel hurt at the activities
of the foe and the men they fougli1.
with like thenmeves had nene either.
But without property they were still
useful to dofend property and with
out mpacy they were useful to make
and protect money. And it is upon
them that preparedness ret-ts. They
are the patriots.
U's a feurftu,l and it's a wonderful
thing, all ,of
,One pf tji.o most prominent busi
c . ,n«*s men, of UotjLls, copnocted
with a toQl .anij implement factory
that just now’ is* d/roc^ing some at
mutm * ut >
dealing instruments known as mu
nitions of war, said that the people
were sick and tired of getting up
every morning and turning to the
paper to discover what business or
ganization the Attorney General was
attacking next.
True enough, everyone was mighty
sick of that long ago, although the
tired feeing was duo among a whole
lot to the fact that they knew !t
never amounted to anything.
In not a single case that the gov
ernment tried to prosecute against a
trust under the Sherman Act has
anything been done to fulfil the let
ter of that absurd law to prohibit
trusts. Every single one of' those
concerns are still doing business at
the old stand, and although the De
partment of Justice was busy enough
and many highly salaried officials
served in prosecutiosn, they neither
did good nor effected any benefit bv
their prosecutions. Neither did thley
change conditions in industry. They
invariably left the same forces in
control and the new condition was a
distinction from the old without a
difference in any respect whatever.
The people have become greatly
sick of this bluff; they tired of it
long before Big Business tired of
its expensive ways. They realized
long before it was believed that they
realized it, that it was meant for
show and the slogan bust the trust
had about as much substance with
in hs a baloon bag.
And when the trusts noted con
ditions, and noted that'the govern
ment insisted on maintaining a use
less bluff, they are not to be blameo
if they force a little industrial de
pression ,41st to show that they are
still cock of the walk. No wonder
this tool trust man speaks as he
has spoken. He is tired of the pos
sibility of facing a prosecution which
will amount to nothing and payiug
expensive attorney fees just to serve
the political purposes of a party in
office.
But what about the people? The)
have stood for a whole lot when
they watched a law amended by the
courts and abused by prosecutors
and offieias without In any way af
fecting their condition for the bctitr
Why should they be anything else
but sick of the monotonous farce
and look with anything else bet
disdain upon the fathead that men
tioned this condition of trust-bust
ing that had been sprung^ upon
them, as a three card man springs
his ancient buncombe.
No one. is supposed to have been
a more interested spectator than
the working class who watched
prices soaring to aviation heights
with no airship in sight to offer a
chance to overtake them. He had
the bold bad trusts blamed for the
high cost of living, and he watched
with infinite zest the noble efforts
of government to put the trusts
down and out or at least to bring
about a condition would change
high prices. But the failure of> the
political wizard is bringing back
the rising hopes to terra flrma for
the working classes, and they watch
the best laid schemes of mlce
headed men gone to blazes with no
sympathy whatever.
It’s no wonder they are a sicker
and more tired lot than even the St.
Louis Munition Maker.
