Senator Sutherland is an enter
taining »: taker. His Wiekersham
address could not have been better
ed l ; i In- r ji:: f !>.* Jim himself,
and might not iiave been equalled.
And possibly the reason why Wick
ersham has been so successful in
sn feeding himself, is because he
has had in several divisions men like
Sutherland to boost and plead his
cause.
Now the Industrial Worker
would not agree for an instant that
on the scroll of political fame Wick
ersham’s name would enjoy the pri
i. ' ■ . u B ■ - sitton—
at any rule not as long ns these are
Senator Sutherlands around to un
coi.s-1 ci.,iy dispute the supremacy
with a leadtr to whom they are so
lo;. ’ If.it that is all neither here
nor there. As we see it, the success
of 3 politician depends upon his
ability to lead the workers off on a
wild goose chase, and to impress
upc th m the fact that they are
grabbing at the real thing, when
the; r,L over for a will o' the
wisp to light their pipes.
That is pr* ■ iselv what Snlzer did
with raw inability, and that is pre

They took the
wild goose chase,
guessing that at tl
there was a cro. k
asking.
Cut. the situation
as th y unfold it, |
only mystified as the' explain it, and
hat Suho r did not explain, what
Sutherland did not show, is that the
workers would be bettered one bit
by the return of either Wickersliam
or Sulzer to Congress. And the
great interest manifested by so
many workers who ought to know
better in their political activities
would be simply amusing if It were
not so menacing.
Alaska is like any other country
with a people to be divided up Into
employers and employees. The ma
jority of the employees will be em
ployees to the end of the chapter,
and the chapter of their wage-work
ing career will or.lv be be. ;thened
by reason of the pipe dreams in
which they indulge.
When we come down to brass
tacks, neither Wickersham nor Sul
zer offer anything which would in
dicate that the condition of the
wage workers would be benefited
cue iota by their return to Congress
On the contrary, the mere fact that
such of these politicians offer pana
ceas for the workers which are nc
panaceas at all, offer palliatives
when eradication is needed, the con
dition of the workers is to that ex
tent aggravated always—it prolongs
the agony.
The transportation, the road, the
fish trap, the conservationist ques- j
tions are all very interesting. They
ri'ord speakers and writers endless
opportunities for gub festing there
upon. They give many an unrighte
ous political <rook an opportunity
of displaying an unusual righte
ousness, but as a means of decoy
ing the workers from the facts ot
the class struggle, they are unex- \
celled.
It is not ^t the point of transpor
tation that the workers are ex
ploited. It is not in consumption j
of their necessities that they are;
mulcted of the proceeds of their i
labor. It is simply at the point of
production and on the job where
that takes place. That the trans
portation companies and not the
mining companies get the largest
whack out of the profits of the
mine workers’ labor is wholly im
material to the mine workers. After
a man has his house robbed beyond
recovery, what does it matter
whether one or the other of the
gang who robbed -it gets the higher
tiroceeeds.
So whether the storekeeper, the
tea a,ship < cupany, the coal tom
I. tile lighterage concern or the
■ni:.lover gt-ie the main per c. ni
-■ Oi la ’Or'a product, it is quite
immaterial to the workers as a
whole. But because these questions
afford a handy means of misleading
the workers on the real facts, they
are suggested and emphasized by
the politicians.
If the failure to supply good roads
is continued, that only means that
there will he less employment here.
But that labor, the main essential to
wealth production, will he employed
elsewhere, and fewer will come here.
And if good roads are supplied, and
even if the country Were a net work
of railroads, the labor exploitation
would still continue, and will con
tinue until the r. sources are con
trolled by the workers themselves.
We all know from past experi
ence that wealth will centralize. We
all know inherent in economic laws
is that tendency, and we all can see
that in every state of the union, the
great interests get control by fair
means or by foul of the means
whereby the rest of us live.
To attempt then to grab a hand
ful oi mother earth, and to think
that by holding on to it we can
stop its rotation upon its axis, is
just, as wise a proceeding’ as that
of Mother Partington who sought
to kc, ; back the rising tide with a

lives, (n spite of Wickersham, and
m si Uo of Sulzer they do dominate
it. There is not a part of the coun
try where their influences are not
felt as supreme, and they are as
much interested in looking towards
the development of the country as
Wickersham or Sulzer. Besides, it
is wholly immaterial whether the
trusts immediately or remotely con
trol the country. It is immaterial
whether the trusts or plain John
Smith own the fisheries or the
mines. It is only a matter of time
until the trusts get them from
John Smith, either by fair means or
by foul. And when in the course of
time that control is obtained, we
can all realize then and not till then,
that when we were fighting the
battles of John Smith, we were not
fighting our own. The real battle
is between exploiters and exploited
But the exploited fight almost every
one’s battle before they think of
fighting their own.
RKSl ECTARLES IN FLASH LIGHT
The Mann act was the means
whereby a good many visitors to the
Republican convention were lured
into the snares of blackmailers. The
blackmailers worked in a gang, a
goodly portion of which were ex
tremely good looking women who
enticed the republican delegates
from that straight and narrow path,
and when they were compromised,
the male members posing as detec
tives secured hush money from
these men who nominate presidents.
In th? prosecution of the black
mailers the defendants are described
as “social pirates’. But how their
form of piracy of the blackmail
victims is not shown. Just because
they were not guileless, innocent
women who were to be victimized
by the respectables, they are to be
convicted as criminals. It is very
satisfactory to know that “the gov
ernment has taken steps to protect
the reputations .of the wealthy
victims”. What a topsy-turvy
system is this thing capitalist moral
ity after all!
