Entered as second cIsbb matter March 1, 1911. a. the post office at
luome, Alassa, under the Act of March 3, 1879
Nome. Alaska, December IS, lf>15.
There's a multitude of prepared
ness plans suggested by the differ
ent politicians, most of whom know
more about the requirements of
building fences or handing out a
line of complete and baffling bull
than they do about an efficient na
tional defense.
Hut that's how it goes. There
never was yet a politician who
wasn’t ready to logisir.te on any
matter, and who given half a chance
would not undertake to deliver
ready made enactments on the most
intricate and scientific matters under
the sun. That's their business; to
legislate, and there is none can coni
$dain that they dont attond to it.
Politicians have not the slightest
objection or hesitancy in butting in
where angels fear to tread, and a
fine example is this variety of
measures now being introduced to
meet the requirements of an ima
ginary situation. But who ever
heard of politicians being selected
for the reason of thoir fitness to
legislate upon certain matters? The
entire conception of representation
is based upon the theory that the
elected man is the embodiment of
an omniscience which enables him
te make laws on everything under
the sun from eugenics to the ta
riff.
Yet there’s an earnestness about
this preparationist campaign that
may not be overlooked. None have
'arisen' to suggest that a Tbihmittee
be appointed to investigate the
needs of the situation in this re
gard; none have intimated that p
would be appropriate to probe the !
matter to the bottom and act upon
such report after a thorough in
vestigation.
Certainly the Democratic Admi
nistration has been noted for the I
appointment of Commissions of in
vestigation. They have probed this
and probed that, and it came to
pass that anything needed shelving,
no matter how urgent or how im
portant, was conveniently shelved
by the appointment of a commission
whose reports lay upon the shelves
forgotten and ignored.
But most cf such matters are of
a different kind to the prepared
ness plans. Thus for example no
member of Congress very much ob
jects when disquiet) o • .r m. iters
are to be postpon il <o,:sideration.
Indeed they are so awkward to gent
lemen who like to straddle the
fence, that any way of postponing a
labor question is seized with avidit\
For after the first flush of action
they know and the public knows,
they can easily forget what it was
all about.
Thus the Industrial Relations
Commission investigated matters of
prime importance. They didn’t do
it half ways either. It was. quite
an unusual thing in a labor ques
tion, a very thorough probe. There
were exciting developments in the
labor world which surely empha
sized the necessity for some action.
But members of Congres who warn
ed to be friends with labor, ano
who wanted also to be friends with
capital from whom flowed so many
blessings, didn’t want any action
and the Commission was the hand!
est way of postponing matters anil
keeping them postponed.
Not so with the Preparationist
plans. Indeed there is nothing
has ever been before the govern
ment which is so little a politician’s
business and so much a soldier y
business. The questions fnvolveo
demand a highly technical know
ledge of far from elementary prin
ciples of the art of war; they re
quire a wide experience and an ex
tensive training. They involve mat
ters which cannot he settled over
night. They are prolific with pro
blems, knotty questions, abstruse
propositions—the very last things in
the world that a politician can be
expected to grasp. The average po
litician is a man who has dealt all
his life with superficial things. His
accomplishments more often than
not are confined to an ability io
peddle effectively the bull. Ho li
as a general rule an adapatalion oi
the con man to the political world,
anti he depends for his success or
his ability not to be an efficient and
expert hand at solving intricate in
dustrial, social or international
problems, but at persuading the
dear people when these are solved
by an employing class and handed .
to him readymade, that these re
present the very highest order of
solutions and that the support ex
tended such, represents the very
highest order of statesmanship.
If preparedness is necessary, it is
not necessary because the politici
ans manifest an anxiety to legislate
it through, or because they have
ready made plans for the accept
ance of their political brethren. Anti
assuredly if ever a question arose
which demanded slow action and
action which should bo studied con
scientiously at every step by experts,
it is this same matter. Yet all want
to take a whack at it; there is an
embarrasment of numbers and
variety in the plans that spring
from the fertile brains of the poli ■
ticians. They have discovered
something that loes not interfere
any way with their political fences
and wherein they believe they can
cut out a somewhat capable figure
even straddling two horses. They
dont need to postpone these mat
ters; these adjust themselves with
some exactness to their political-re ■
quirements and their political re
quirements do not demand any pro
longed consideration in order that
they be adjusted to the situation
that has arisen. It is as welcome
a question as the tariff. It is ad
mitting of them posing as patriots
and friends of everybody. It does
not offend labor and it pleases ca
pital. It is not every day a politi
cal genius has had such an oppor
tunity and it behoves them to make
the most of it. And they do. The
multitude of plans are falling thick
as the leaves of Vallombrosa. They
enable Congress to forget the ro
ports of Industrial Relations Com
mission, of unemployed situation?
of all the variety of questions have
disturbed the political situation with
the storm of class disturbances and j
quickened the heart beats of the
anxious politicians. They have
found solid footing at last and a
very haven of refuge. They are not
to be blamed for making the mom
of it; it would be an extraordinar}
thing if they did not.
