NOTHING TO QUARREL ABOUT
HERE
No matter what may be right or
wrong concerning the differences be
tween capital and labor in the numer
ously populated and highly organized
centers of the East, there is no occa
sion for quarrel in Alaska. There is
no lack of opportunity for individual
effort here. There is all the room in
the world for individual enterprise in
this country. In no other region of
the world is it so generally true that
the worker of yesterday is the inde
pendent man of affairs today. The re
sources of Alaska are lying at every
man’s door and beckoning him on to
effort for himself.
Alaska is just where the United
States was a half century ago, when
the whole West called the wage work
ers of the East to leave farm and forge
and come and occupy the land and
develop the resources. They did that,
leaving the work in the factories and
elsewhere for the immigrants from
Europe. There is opportunity for all
that are in Alaska to go out and util
ize the resources, or stay in town and
work and save and purchase property
and grow with the towns into pros
perity, just as Americans have done
throughout the nation for a century.
Alaska’s great need is capital to
come and develop the territory and
make business and cities. If working
men would make the best use of their
time and effort they will not start in
dustrial strife here that will prevent
capital from coming and drive away
that which is here. They will, in
stead, work and save and purchase
town or other property and say to
capital: “Come and make cities W
our towns and thereby make on- prop
erty valuable and give us yet more
chances to get into business for our
selves.”—.luneau Empire.
THE REAL THING
When the next artist “sculps” his
next symbolic figure of Labor, he
might well take into consideration
Mrs. Bridget McHugh of Wigan, Eng
land. Mrs. McHugh died recently at
the age of 80. after fifty years as ex
pert “pitbrow” in the Pemberton coal
fields. She filled mine cars with a
shovel and she worked in all weathers
from G a. m. to 6 p. m. She died a
grandmother, with two sons em
ployed in the colliery. Yes, the artist
might mould a symbolic coal-slum 1
up against a symbolic coal nmk. If
you come down to real, actui’. bona
fide labor, she had the right t > talk
about it.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The suggestion of the Dawson News
that mineralogy should be taught ill
Dawson in connection with the eduea
tional work there is timely. It is a
suggestion that Alaskan could take
home to themselves with profit. There
is the same reason for teaching min
eralogy and some of the fundamentals
of mining and something about fisl
and the fisheries industry in Alaske
as there is for teaching agriculture
and other vocations in the States.—
Juneau Empire.
The suggestion of Territorial Com
missioner of Education Hendersoi
that a gymnasium should be added te
the public" schools is a mighty gooe
one. Recreation at a gymnasium ii
Seward, either for pupils or adults
is a minus quantity in Seward. Tin
word recreation seems to have beei
positively forgotten in the city’s make
up, for not even a teeter, or a swing
except in one or two home yards, i
seen. There is no place for childrei
to play, except on the sereets. Pei
haps if the pupils were asked what i
“medicine ball” was the majority
would imagine it was some kind of a
pill to take.—Seward Gateway.
Ketchikan, as well as other citfes,
has what are termed “undesirable
citizens.” Is it not time tjiat the au
thorities wake up and investigate the
character of every individual who is
looked upon as a menace to the com
munity? We Americans are a happy
go-lucky lot, and are thinking of mak
ing money more than we do of the
coming generation. There are a
few individuals in this city that are
continually harping upon the man or
the company that is doing its best for
the community at large, and invari
ably it is the man that only works
enough to keep his carcass from fall
ing over the precipice. The radical
man is the one to whom we refer. He
is a thorn among unions and is promi
nent in starting troubles among the
ranks of organized labor. These char
acters in every city have made their
boasts of what they will do to get
even with some individual. Not all
of them make good their boast, but
some do; and if we look back upon
the early life of some of the charac
ters of Ketchikan we can see where
a life could have been saved if a “blue
ticket” had been used at the proper
time.—Ketchikan Times.
