CLEANING UP FAIRBANKS.
Judging by the activities of tin* grand .jury at Fairbanks,
that section of the territory is due for quite a slinking up. It
seems certain sections of the law have been disregarded, and
that the marshal and district attorney are busily putting them
in force.
Those nipped so far have* set up a cry that these officials
are wielding the big stick on their political enemies only.
This has been the cry of the trapped ever since there was
a law, but the worst of it is that every now and then it’s so.
If there has been a general laxness in regard to the law in
Fairbanks, some of the lax ones must be of the same political
faith as the officials who are now enforcing order. It will bo
easy to determine before the cleanup is over whether or not the
indictments have been brought impartially.—Seward Post.
THE INVASION THAT IS SURE TO COME.
When the war in Europe shall be over there will be immi
nent danger of a mighty invasion of the United’ States from
those distressed countries. But there will be none of the pan
oply of war in their coming. Then* will be no dancing Hags,
no martial music, no roar of great guns—rather their ranks will
be broken; the only music will be requiems which DespTiir calls
to memory, and the only flags will be tattered ensigns which
poverty holds up to invoke compassion.
Xo fortresses, no fighting I loots can keep out the invasion
that is to come. When the war ceases and these hosts strain
their aching eyes the world around in search of some light to
which they can turn, our flag will he the only one that will
carry any promise to them, and they will come by companies,
by regiments, b\ brigades, by divisions, by corps, by hosts.
Surely there will be need ot preparedness to receive them.
Tln*v will come asking not for i chance to despoil us, but to
make bread for themselves. Have the President and Congress
these hosts ill mind, and are they trying to prepare means to
receive them? Is the present tariff schedule filled with en
couragement for t hem ?
Are more roads being constructed to open new lands for
these people to till ?
Are new enterprises taking torm which to carry on win
require vast numbers of workers?
In the past we have received and assimilated millions of
people from abroad. .lust when tin* great war was about to
break upon Europe some legislation was consummated in
W ashington, which those behind it declared had finally achiev—
< d “industrial freedom” for our people.
Will that legislation make it easier to receive and provide
for this new host that is to come? Would it not be well to make
a careful survey of what has been done and see if there have not
been mistakes which should be swiftly corrected.
There is something else to be considered. Our country
has attained its present position because labor has seized upon
its latent resources and put them in their present form, and' the
laborers have ran beyond the work. We have many idle men,
ami when these are joined' by the invading host which is to
come, what is going to be the result?
We are tbld there is a surfeit of money in the east? Will
that hoarded money be safe when the ranks ot the hungry
swell to abnormal proportions? Ilad not the owners ot that
money better employ it in undeveloped fields where the poor
may find employment ?
We surely are in need of a better preparedness, but not
in the direction toward which the cry is tending today.
The invasion which most threatens us is one we cannot
keep out, and the struggle should be for that preparedness that
can receive and assimilate it.
-:o:
President Wilson says In* is not afraid of the slow verdict
of history. But history often records a hung jury.
-:o:
We have it from an interview with Senator Poindexter
that the war will end “in the definite future.” Thanks, so
much!
-:o:
If it is true that we are holding off war only at arms
length it behooves us 'to have arms as long and as strong as
possible.
It is pathetically inevitable that somebody will rise to
eject the remark that the support of the-Filipino freedom bill
liv ('ongressman Dill only adds to our pickle.
The Republicans throughout the territory are strongly in
favor of an open primary to elect delegates to the Seward con
vention on April 19. They realize that in this method alone lies
the hope of building up the party in this territory.
The fashion plates for 1916 dictate that feminine bathing
suits shall terminate three inches above the knee, with an ac
companiment of nudity below, as well as a decolette neck.
And a tight jersey shall be worn—so tight that nothing beneath
shall be lost to the eye, except in color. The laymen's misfeion
ary movement is timely.
