WHO FURNISHES THE TONNAGE?
During the past five years the mines
and oil wells of the United States
have furnished exactly 58 per cent of
the tonnage originating on United
States railroads. The producers of
the basic mineral wealth of the coun
try employ approximateley 1,500,000
men. This is largely skilled labor.
These facts furnish a basis for the in
terest aroused among mining men in
the grave problems confronting the
nation, involving transportation, wages
and present low percentages in produc
tion. The recognized danger of con
tinued industrial conferences, sporadic
in character, during the national cri
sis has brought a warning from the
mining men and has resulted in call
ing a general mining and industrial
convention during the week of Nov.
17, where all conflicting interests can
get together for the purpose of con
sidering a concrete business program
to be placed before the congress of the
United Statees, backed by the nation's
leading industries.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Life in the States now seems to
be just one strike after another.—
Seward Gateway.
Postmaster General Burleson re
cently made his first speech since
taking office. In it he defended the
administration of postal affairs by
himself. It would take a lot of fast
and loud talking on Mr. Burleson’s
•part to defend himself if he ever came
to Alaska.—Douglas News.
The old pioneer is passing away
and the younger generation is step
ping into his shoes. Every paper one
picks up nowadays records the death
of an old pioneer. Many of them
have been in Alaska for decades; all
came here optimistic and full of the
strength and vigor that was the only
asset of the true pioneer. Their hopes
and fears have fructified, disastrously
tro many. Others have acquired a mod
erate competency and are taking life
easy in their declining years.—Valdez
Miner.
HELP WANTED
The assistance of every mana,
woman and child in the city of Cor
dova is solicited in an effort to keep
the city in a clean and sanitary con
dition, that we may not be afflicted
with any epidemic of disease this
coming winter.
Any persons suffering from colds of
any sort, no matter how mild, should
take it upon themselves to protect all
those with whom they may come in
contact. Should you begin to sneeze,
consider yourself sick and a source of
danger of infection to others. You
should immediately quarantine your
self for the benefit of the public. All
the recognized methods of prevention
should be resorted to, such as clean
liness of hands, clothing, food, uten
sils, disinfection, etc.
With precautionary measures ob
served there should be very little
chance of influenza making its appear
ance in epidemic form in Cordova this
year. But let us all be prepared.
Old rubbish should not be permitted
to accumulate. This is always a source
of infection which can be easily elimi
nated.
You can do a great many little
things which will be of great assist
ance to the health authorities.
We again solicit your co-operation
in public health matters.
DR. W. H. CHASE,
City Health Officer.
Theodore Roosevelt on the Teacher's
T ask
You teachers—and it is a mere tru
ism to say this—you teachers make
the whole world your debtor; and of
you it can be said, as it can be said
of no other profession save the pro
fession of the ministers of the gospel
thatnselves, if you teachers did not
do your work well this republic would
not outlast the span of a generation.
Moreover, as an incident to your
avowed work, you render some well
nigh unbelievable services to the coun
try. For instance, you render to this
republic the prime, the vital service
of amalgamating into one homogene
ous body the children of those who
are born here and of those who come
here from so many different lands
abroad. You furnish a common train
ing and common ideals for the chil
dren of all the mixed peoples who are
here being fused into one nationality.
It is in no small degree due to you
and to your efforts that we of this
great American repubic form one peo
ple instead of a group of jarring peo
ples. The children, wherever they
have been born, wherever their par
ents have been born, who are educated
in our schools side by side with one
another, will ineyitablV grow up hav
ing that sense of mutual sympathy
and mutual respect and understanding
which is absolutely indispensable for
working out the problems that we as
citizens have before us.—Address at
National Education Association, Ocean
Grove, N. J., July 7, 1905.
Where dwells he? Everywhere! In
cottages
And by the forge of labor and the
desk
Of science. The torn spelling book
Is blotted with the name of Roosevelt;
And like a myth he floats upon the
winds of India and Ceylon. His
brotherhood
Includes the fallen kings. Himself a
king,
He left a stamp upon his countrymen
Juke Charlemagne. Yes, note the life
of kings!

man; read at the Harvard Club, New
York, February 9, 1919.
