MORE DANGEROUS THAN
ANARCHY.
The fundamental principles of re
publican government are being at
tacked from many different side;
and by many different cults ami
classes of people, writes the editoi
of the Mining Congress Journal
Many, perhaps, of these do not rea
lize the consequences which neces
sarily grow from their teachings
These may be divided into two
classes: anarchists and parlor-bol
shevists. In the first class are the
open enemies of representative fov
err.ment, who believe in and advo
cate direct action, who toleratt
lawlessness as a means of winning
a strike and believe that the end
always justifies the means. In the
second class are those who count
themselves as reformers, who are
filled with imagined progressive
ideas, who believe the country has
outgrown the Constitution; whe
loudly prate about the popular will;
who never attend a primary, but
protest vehemently against caucus
rule; who bolt their party because
it is corrupt, but do nothing to re
form it; who do not believe in party
responsibility, but hope through par
lor discussion to prevent the party
boss from controlling nominations
after surrendering and leglecting the
only means of preventing his suc
cess; who believe that all large for
tunes were acquired by dishonest
means; who believe that big busi
ness is a menace to republican gov
ernment. These people are not all
wrong; many, if not all of them, are
well-intentioned. Some of them arc
ready to make and often do make
many sacrifices to put in effect their
ideas for the public good. But they
have lost sight of the fundamentals
of government. They believe that
humanity can govern itself; that the
only difference between a good cit
izen and a bad citizen is one of
environment, and that kindness is a
remedy for evil tendencies; they
would abolish the courts and have
their policemen go unarmed. They
still glory in the downfall of Por
firio Diaz in spite of the bitter ex
perience through which Mexico ha?
passed and of her present almost
hopeless situation. They still re
joice in the failure of the Russian
empire, notwithstanding the misery
and suffering and starvation which
has resulted from unstable govern
ment. They still refuse to profit by
the practical experience of all man
kind. In consequence of their sub
lime faith in a perfected humanity
and the half-truths embodied in
their theories they are more dan
gerous to our Government than its
avowed and open enemies.
A SEATTLE VIEW.
As usual, the Alaska primary elec
tion wound up in a blaze of fire
works, recently announced the Se
attle Alaska Dispatch. Few, if any
sections of the United States cai
become het up like the Northlam
when the free and untrammeled ex
ercise the right of franchise at th<
polls. In no place at no time cai
anyone throw a brick harder thai
the average Alaskan at an election
Word comes from the North, con
tinues the Seattle paper, that the
election closed with libel suits, per
sonal encounters and the usual col
orings of a real election. Inci
I dentally, word comes that all the
i
| losers will support the winners, and
i it is expected harmony will prevail.
Personally, the average Alaskan
politician is a fairly decent fellow,
j But when it comes to going to the
bat he places his eye on first base
and, regardless of feelings, umpire
or opposition, he is going to land. ’
This makes it rather disagreeable 1
for the candidates who like to train *
: for an election at a ping-pong table.
Elections in the North are strenu- 1
ous and the crowd playing the game ‘
are strenuous chaps.

BACKING THE GOVERNOR. ‘
The persistent circulation of prop- ,
I aganda in Alaska intended to pro- s
jduce the impression that Governor j
• Riggs has represented the people of
Alaska as being comprised to a large
extent of lawless people who are ,
seeking to bring on an armed revo
lution in Alaska is in keeping with
the recent retracted attacks on
George C. Hazelet, declares the Alas
ka (.Juneau) Daily Empire.
It is difficult to discuss these mis
representations without using Col. f
Roosevelt’s short and ugly word-- *■
Henry Clay’s “lie direct.”
Governor Riggs not only never
made any such misrepresentation, *
but he never said anything or in- c
timated anything that is susceptible
of any such interpretation. In fact. t
he has always, in the Territory and £
out of it, said directly the opposite, j
People who intimate that he has
ever made any such statement, those
who talk facetiously about the I
“Riggs Rebellion,” do not know c
what they talk about—OR THEY r
LIE. \
WILSON AND TURKEY.
I The supreme council having tenta
tively partitioned Turkey to the sat
isfaction of its members and left
(the sultan in Constantinople, the
French government asked President
.Wilson what he thought of the ar
rangement. Whether his reply is
, what was expected or not, and what
,'ever its effect may be, there can be
| no doubt that it contains much good
advice. In this instance, remarks
I the New York world, the detachment
!of the United States being empha
I sized, he addresses Europe more as
| a counsellor than as an associate.
! Not as nimble where matters of
principle are concerned a9 some of
the representatives of the old diplo
macy, Mr. Wilson fails to under
stand why the Ottoman government
should be continued in Europe, es
pecially as one of the avowed ob
jects of the war on the part of the
Allies was to banish that interloper
• to Asia. For reasons equally cogent,
■ he can see no permanent peace in
, the Near East that is not concurred
i in by Russia, thus for ignqred. His
l recommendations as to the future
■ of Armenia, esopotamia, Arabia,
s' Palestine, Syria and the Aegean is
i lands are based upon considerations
i of race and natural boundaries and
. outlets rather than upon the strat
- egic and economic interests of the

Allies.
Properly enough, the one thing
upon which the President insists is
that no change to be made in the
former Ottoman empire shall place
American citizens or the citizens of
any other country in a less favor
able situation than the citizens of
countries parties to the treaty. The
note as a whole is evidently intend
ed to remind the Allies of the de
sirability of a just and lasting peace,
which is an ideal seemingly lost to
sight in the murky atmosphere of
the Levant.
