OUR WORST ENEMIES.
However much we may argue that
steamship rates and other extrane
ous influences are the principal de
terrents to local development and
progress, it requires no more than
ordinary discernment, says the Nome
Nugget, to see that one of the most
potent factors in holding back de
velopment in this section is the re
grettable penchant for bickering and
fault-finding among ourselves.
Instead of pulling together like
sensible, level-headed people, those
■who should have the largest interest
in promoting the development of
the district are divided into self
seeking factions, devoted more to
venting party jealousies and politi
cal and personal ax-grinding than
to the welfare of the community,
and hopelessly at odds with every
thing but themselves.
The community cannot prosper
under such conditions. From of old
it is written, the house divided
against itself is doomed to fall. Un
til we consent to leave off this atti
tude of mutual jealousy and dis
trust, stop our petty fault-finding
and cast aside some of the bump
tious egotism which imbues many
of our leading: citizens with the
fatuous idea that they know it all,
just so long' will we find develop
ment languishing and the town go
ing to rot.
We have immense resources await
ing exploitation in our hills and
valleys and the sea, but it is idle
to expect them to develop into pro
ductive industries when those who
should be taking a leading part in
making them profitable are jangling
and quarreling with the abandon of
a brace of town cats.
We are our own worst enemies,
concludes the editor of the Seward
peninsula paper, but most of us are
too filled with self-conceit to see it.
FOR SIBERIAN TRADE.
The next big move of business
in the whole field of world trade
will be the connection of Soviet
Russia and Siberia with our Pacific
coast. Either San Francisco or Se
attle, believes the Seattle Union
Record, is going to get this busi
ness.
The business men of the coast
have been blind, continues the Se
attle paper. They recognize to some
extent the importance of Siberian
trade; but they haven’t the slight
est notion of how to get it. They
are still behind the insane raids on
Russians, which will leave an after
taste of bitterness in the souls of
many thousands of our next possi
ble customers.
Down in San Francisco, the Cham
ber of Commerce is torn between
the rival claims of an “ambassa
dor” of Kolchak and another from
Semenoff. The latter promises them
guides, interpreters, and all facili
ties in Siberia and Mongolia, quite
ignoring the fact that Mongolia is
still part of China, and that the
strategic points of Siberia are un
der soviet control.
If the business men of Seattle
have any vision, they will begin to
study “co-operative” ideas, and pre
pare to deal with the co-operatives
of Siberia. We do not expect our j
capitalists, of course, to go in for
“co-operation” themselves. But they
will have to learn enough about it
to avoid false steps in dealing with
Siberia.
The trade in Siberia is run al
I most entirely by the large co-opera
itives. The foreign trade of Soviet
! Russia is a monopoly of the Soviet
(government. Whatever arrangement
is finally made between Siberia and
Russia, any outsider talking busi
ness will have to deal with groups
! that do business for the service of
their nation and not for profit.
j INFLUENCE.
I -
| The worst thing that can happe'i
| to a man is to start life with in
fluence. So declared Charles M.
Schwab in a talk to Princeton stu
dents upon how to succeed in busi
ness. Young fellows who excuse
their failure on the score of having
no influential friends to give them
a boost get cold comfort from Mr.
Schwab, who has come up from the
ranks, and who now goes so far as
to advise any young man who has
an influence not to use it to get a
start. Mr. Schwab laid down as
the first fundamental of a success
ful life, “Unimpeachable integrity."
Character is the biggest asset in
business. A whole array of brill
iant qualities will not take the place
of this cornerstone of enduring suc
cess. The whole tenor of Mr.
benwat) s neart-to-neart talk, points
out the editor of Leslie’s, was a new
emphasis on the old-fashioned quali
ties of loyal, industry and persist
ence. The young man who possesses
these traits is bound to succeed, for
opportunity was never so great as it,
t
is today. No industry is more j
highly organized than the steel in- j
dustry, yet with all the progress
made in the last twenty years, the
industry is far from its zenith. So
great is the magnitude of modern
industry in all branches that oppor
tunities for leadership, instead of
decreasing as some imagine, have
actually decreased in proportion as
industry itself has grown.

JUNEAU COMMISSIONER
DENOUNCES ROAD LAWS
That the Second, Third and
Fourth divisions are not alone in
. their resentment and opposition to
the craftily conceived road law pass
ed by the last territorial legislature
is clearly indicated in the following
scathing denunciation of the law
.and the uses to which it is being
jput, recently received by Commis
sioner Barney Gibney of Nome from
P. J. Wiley of Juneau, chairman of
Divisional Road Board No. 1. Com
Jmissioner Wiley says:
l “I most heartily agree with you
, in reference to our territorial road
laws. I think it should be left ab
solutely with the Territory to look
after its own roads; If we are not
capable of looking after our own
roads, we had better go back to a
commission form of government,
similar to the one recommended by
former President Taft.

commissioners as the law now stands
is only a joke. They are elected
by the people with absolutely no
power to act, and are put in there
only to fool the people and make
them think they have some repre
sentation on the board.
“In looking up the road laws in
several of the states, I find that
they mostly all appoint their road
supervisors, but they elect their
board of county commissioners by a
I direct vote of the people, and the
[county commissioners appoint a road
supervisor. As I understand this
law, or rather the intent of the
! law, is to take it out of the hands
of the people altogether.
“House Bill No. 25 was intro
duced by Scotty Allen of the Sec
ond division, and I understand he
was ready to leave the country at
the time he introduced the bill, and
when the territorial legislature ad
journed he kept going and has never
returned to Alaska to see how his
bill would weather the storm.”

A. P. Browning, a cannery boss
at Loring, was stabbed to death re
cently by a Mexican employe, dying
shortly after his injuries were re
ceived. The Mexicans were drink
ing tequila in the bunkhouse and
Browning interfered. Julio Figu
aro, who was foreman last year and
jealous of Browning, who took his
I place, chased Browning out of the
j house and in a fist fight forced him
; against the side of the building,
[stabbing him in the groin while
i holding him helpless. The Mexican
employes in the canneries in South
-eastern Alaska are giving the au
thorities more or less trouble each
! year.
