A “DEAD HAND” ON ALASKA
The appeal of Governor Thomas
Riggs, Jr., for a greater measure of
home rule in Alaska will be sym
pathetically received in Seattle.
The Northern executive pointed out
last night to members of the Alaska
bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce that funds derived from
Alaskan sources are diverted to the
federal instead of the territorial treas
ury.
This situation, coupled with numer
ous restrictions imposed by conflict
ing bureaus in Washington, renders
the country dependent to an undesir
able degree upon the federal govern
ment for financial assistance, detracts
from its political freedom and retards
its development.

Alaska can and will solve its own
problems whenever congress gives it
a chance by removing the “dead
hand” of Washington bureaucracy
frem the helm of its affairs.—Seattle
Times.
CAN WE KEEP OUT OF IT?
The United States and Japan will
•vantually get into war. Without an
atom of conflict in their interests they
are yet being driven by the force of
circumstances into enmity. Here we
hove a chance to study that awful
phenomenon, war, in the making. It
began years ago in some trivial cir
eumstance or other. It has been kept
alive on more or less trivial circum
stances. If the two peoples were in
teach with each other these triviali
ties would be of no importance. In
^personal contact we would find them
trivial. But we are separated by the
wide ocean. We know each other not,
and all the prejudice and mistrust
that lack of knowledge brings is ours.
The growing dislike has been
fanned by the enemies of us both.
Germany has done much. So have
other nations who fear our present
wealth and strength and look forward
to the day when Japan will also be
one of the strongest and wealthiest of
nations. These other nations would
like to see the two of us at each oth
ers’ throats.
A propaganda is under way from
some source or other. An American
newspaper man sends in a story about
the Japs having warships in Magda
lena bay. We investigate. There are
bo ships. We ask the newspaper man
why the story was written. He says
he believed rumors. He appears in
nocent. But a little later another
story of similar character comes out.
Again all is without foundation, and
everyone is innocent. But another
■story gets through the press. And
another. Is someone paying these
men, or is it the devilish momentum
that evil has when it is once started?
We suspect Japan of evil and there
fore there is a spontaneous produc
tion of stories of evil. Each is proved
unfounded, but each leaves a stronger
foundation of dislike in the minds of
the American people.
Presumably it is the same in Japan.
Nothing else could explain the grow:
ing frequency of offensive acts. The
Japs must, as a people, feel that the
Americans are actively engaged in
thwarting their ambitions. The Amer
ican people are really thinking very
little about it, but the Japs seem as
sured our whole time is given to plans
for their vexation. The latest ex
pression of this feeling has been the
hooting of Mrs. Baker, wife of the
American consul general at Mukden.
This insult has followed many similar
offenses. With each repetition the
danger of serious trouble grows.
Sooner or later there will be an im- -
portant outbreak, with fighting and |
bloodshed. Then something will have
to be done about it.
The Japanese are the most thor
oughly imperialistic people on earth.
The Germans never approached them
in this spirit. The Japs have been
victors in all their wars; they have
the same mental attitude that the Ger
mans had, only intensified by fanati
cism and medievalism. They thirst
for fresh glories. They want to fight
someone, an^ihe United States is the
popular selection. Can we keep out
of it?
