Our Delegate to Congress our Terri
torial KepresentatUe.s .and the differ
ent Chamlber of C«nninercc’s, as well
as numerous others have a tendency
to boost the resources of the terri
tory.
They never weary of expanding upon
this subject. It is general, North
£>outh, \Ecst and West There is
gold, silver, coppei coal, fish, lumber
and a hundred other kinds of natural
wealth-factors in the treasure-house
of the nation.
It is very likely that its gold de
posits have as yet only barely been
touched. Millions upon millions of
this yellow metal exist in the bosom of
the country—wealth beyond the dreams
of the avaricious. ,
And. the— COALr—they say it is as
good as any—COAt—which has been
found in any part of the world.
Enough for all the Pacific Const,
enough for all the navies that ply the
s«ls. If so, it is feasable, consist
ent and logical for the Citizens of
Alaska to expect (he present adminis
tration to operate the COAu FIELDS
IN Ah \SKA as well as tb* railroads
and i tin r industries th:\>uclient the
whole of the United States. The trend
of things today, has a tendency to
wards government ownership in the
near future of many of the leading
industries of the countiy, and that is
us it should be.
Apparently there is no reason what
ever why the businessman, as well as
every citizen in the. community should
not thoroughly discuss the future fuel
ouestion of .Seword Peninsula.
Wc realize that we have some math-;
< matical financiers, and able orators
in our midst, and the joint meeting
of representatives of the various or
ganizations within the city, which has
been announced will convene on March
-1st, ought to be a vor> interesting
one for our scribe to report.
(ioverument reports reveal tremen
dous riches which are agricultural Im
possible, and which soo .cr 01* later will
materialize. It'Is enormous wealth.
It is wealth, that on one can possibly
conceive, so great ,*s its magnitude,
AND iwf ONK CENT C.\ N-BE-PRO
DUCED WITHOUT J,AIU>K. Not a
cent can Ik* produced in value unless
labor applies its magic energy to the
latent wealth and call it forth.
Capitalists, promoters, experts, men
of judgement, may come and go, lit
erally by the thousands but they can
not without labor produce a dollar.
Dabor is the Magician whose magic
touch gives life to the wen 1th of the
land.
tjiitKH- is tin Creator whose energy
says to the mate hi ess resources of
the land "last there be wealth," anil
there is wealth.
Alaskan papers may decant upon the
resources in numberless issues. Cham
ber's of Commerce may frequently
meet anil Councils of National Defense
may hold secret conferences, but until
labor is applied, there is, as if nothing
were. Until labor has aeeess to these
resources, they are, its if they had
never been, worthless, inanimate
things, useless to all.
LABOR PRODl'CRS A 1,1, WBALTH
So therefore when we consider the
“matchless” resources of the country,
its marvelous natural wealth, its mil
lions lying latent In the mountains, on
toe tundna, in the streams, let us con
sider first that which is essential lo
its realization—T,ABOIt.
Not the resources of the country go
toward the upbuilding of the greatness
o ftho land. But the degree of comfort,
of happiness, of freedom enjoyed there
in by the people who labor. With the
expanders of labor power happy in the
land, the country will smile with pros
perity.
It is great to develop a country's
wealth. It is great for this as well
*as other cities to have ab1g pay
roll. It is great for the throngs of
busy workers to infest the shipyards
and the workshops of the industrial
plants, the mines, the mill3 and the
smelters. Great indeed for all those
who live off labor. "But how about
Labor?” How atiout labor that toils
long weary hours, driven by the fear
of starvation to pile up hoards of
wealth which it may not touch and
may not enjoy.
There is nothing great about that,
for any but the jxirasitic profLt mon
gers.
There is no properity, no matter
what people say. in such a condition.
Because the shareholders of a company
enjoys mighty and regular dividends,
that is no guarantee that prosperity
follows the earning of the dividends.
All dividends come alike to the owner
whether the slave labor of a rubber
plantation, the peon labor of Mexico,
(he compound labor of an African or
dividends from any other source.
To a shareholder there is no such
thing as tainted money. Alaska to be
really prosperous must have a pros
perous people.
Alaska's prosperity does not depend
upon its providing fat anil regular div
idends for stockholders in New York,
Chicago, St I.ouis, Boston, London or
1'a.ris. Alaska’s prosperity begins with
Jts own people. Begins upon a pros
perous community of workers. It is
built uon that. Alaska’s prosperity
any more than the proaeprity of any
country does not depend upon long
houretl working days and overworked!
exhausted workers. The shorter the
work day, the better the wages, the!
better will be the country.
But if labor produces nothing for
itself and everything for some one
else, neither labor nor the country is
going to l>e prosperous.
The real prosperity of the country is
to be measured in the return which
is made to labor of the THINGS that
are LABOR'S. Alaska has matchless
resources, LABOR is the KING-l’IN.
without LABOR. Alaska has nothing.
And if Labor insists upon having
nothing, and allows itself to be peon
Ized in drudgery, it is good-bye Alas
ka's real well being.
Libor must look out for itself. La
bor must also see that representatives
of the Bug's, the Morgans and a similar
class of financial vultures don't pur
suade the government from operating
and tran»i«ort.ing its own COAL from
the South-Kastern COAL fields. I
These human buzzards realize that
they can come very near getting al
most anything they want.
\V II Y !
Because h.MIOIl will not look after
itself.
It is afraid to call its body or its soul
its own when the boss recognizes
neither the onb or the other.
I.iABOR bilks about the eight hours
and wonders why the eight hour law
Is often violated, but LA BO It has so
far failed to realize that until the work
ers are thoroughly organized, the eight
hour law like many of the other so
called laws will continue to lie violated,
or even set aside as being unconstitu
tional.
I.ABOB often expects politicians to
do what LAHOH won’t do itself,
It is a joke, but a tragic jest.
LA BOB thinks the work and the
effort to better itself so onerous and
packs it on the hack of a professional
politician who is no sooner behiu t a.
corner than he dumps it and loads ui>
a cum:my, air Inflated bag, full of
wind B igs of wind are light and pack
ed without effort.

First tiling we know we're going to have a Bone Dry country
out an<I out. Already the mighty prohibition wave is engulfing
“demon rum" and the flood gates of righteous antagonism against
John Barleycorn is going to sweep him into everlasting oblivion.
Thousands of men in the country over are going to shortly find it
impossible to get their daily, most of them their hourly “nips’’
and those fellows are going to look up the best bottled drink they
can get to wet their whistles with. They are not going to “get
off" booze, and drink any pink “tea slop" Oh no—they want
something with a delightful relish—a sparkle and a zest and the
AKSALA drink is going to fill the bill to a T-Y-T. Wets every
spot In the internal arid district, soaks it down good. No dust
left in your throat after a bottle of AKSALA F*r sale every
where.
