ANARCHY AND THE CHURCH
That handful of fools who conspired with the delusion that
the church can he destroyed hy dynamite and its devotees dis
couraged by poisoned soup, is merely another one of those
quixotic exaggerations that has failed to read history. The
church grows fat under attack. Martyrdom is its banquet
table.
Militant anarchy cannot destroy the church any more than
it can destroy governments; in fact, tin* necessity for govern
ment becomes more and more apparent as red anarchy attempts
to advance.
Tin* feet of the church are too deeply implanted' to suffer
from explosive ignorance. The attack that is successful will
be more subtle than dynamite and far more intelligent than
poisoned soup.

SEE A BOGEY MAN IN PREPAREDNESS.
The “committee on industrial relations” is sending out
press matter to the newspapers charging that the preparedness
agitation is really instigated by “big business” to get support
in its projected invasion of foreign lauds to exploit resources.
The committee argues that “big business” needs more battle
ships and a big standing army to collect bills \\;hon foreigners
become Indky.
This “committee” is composed of the radical members of
the former federal industrial relations commission, and former
Chairman Walsh is identified with the present unofficial body
which has taken a standpoint savoring of the soap box orator.
Here is a sample of the press matter:
Is the commercial and industrial imperialism of Morgan.
Rockefeller, Vanderlip and Gar' to be backed by a governmen
tal imperialism? Are we to give them battleships and big
armies to collect debts and to protect Wall street dollars al
ready bloody with exploitation at home, from the wrath of the
exploited people of foreign lands?
It's about the biggest question of policy this country has
had to determine since the Civil war.
Our preparedness champions profess fear of a foreign in -
vasion. They ask if this country is not to defend its liberties.
The real question is this:
Do you prefer to take your chances with an imaginary
European enciiiv who is sure to be economically exhausted and
sickened of militarism?
Or do you prefer to give your assent while this democracy
is conquered from within, by act of Congress?
For if there’s any difference between Fnited States Steel,
or Standard Oil and the worst militarist ruling class in Fm
rope, the advantage is with the latter, so far as democracy,1
liberty and the rights of man are concerned. Remember
Youngstown, Bayonne and Colorado.
Readers will form their own conclusions, according to
their personal leanings on industrial questions.

As lias frequently been the ease lately, the Daily Times is
today without its usual Associated Press service. Of course the
cable is still out of commission and' the wireless does not seem
to be able to handle all the business offered. The new night
letter service given Alaska is causing a great increase in the
number of wires sent .and received. This is another strong
argument in favor of an all-night service for Cordova, and it
cannot come any too soon to suit us.

“A life rhythm that is of great importance is the rhythm
of hunger, recurring throe times a day,” says a speaker at the
Oregon Agricultural college, urging persons not to ignore the
rhythm, or the nerves, like strings, will get janglingly out of
tune. An apt simile. Life without three meals a day becomes
distinctly prosaic to most of us.

The lengthy report of conditions at Anchorage, published
in yesterday morning’s Times, was written by a staff corres
pondent of this paper, who is a trained newspaper man of con
siderable ability. He is also conservative and reliable, and
being on the ground, is competent to depict conditions as theyj
actually exist.
--:o:
Registration is not rapid enough to indicate anything like
a great public uprising against the ills of municipal govern
ment. It appears, indeed, as if general satisfaction prevailed
and that, in addition, a great many voters do not care who is
elected.
-:o:
The Austrians are said to have executed Sari Petrass, a
famous actress, as a British spy. What a pity to lose an artist
so great when the world is full of actors and act Manes who
ought to be hanged on general principles.
-;o:
Vienna’s report that with all the suffering of war there
are fewer suicides than before the war emphasizes the truth
that despondency is more often due to imaginary than real
trouble. ,
