VALUE OF ORGANIZATION
Any community not possessed of an agitator
shouni import one.
me entire history of human progress has been
builded upon the work of the agitator. Sometimes he
takes on the complexion of a radical unsatisfied with
anything short of a tearing down of the entire social
structure and rebuilding it according to his ideas. He
becomes a common nuisance, but he serves the purpose
of compelling men to think. Mixed up in his extrava
gant preachings are flashes of logic and semblance of
workable ideas. It is by sorting out these ideas and
using them as a basis of action that real progress is
achieved.
f Every man who advocates something outside the
routine of present-day action may be considered a rad
ical and an agitator. The greatest aggregation of agi
tators were the fathers of the American nation. Their
ideas were not new. Savanarola, the arch-socialist of
tne Florentine Republic, was burned at the stake for
agitating the very things put into operation when
America was born. Traveling on down the line of his- j
tory we find most of what were termed impossible
idealisms in past ages became realities in the march
of human progress. i
The most valuable element in agitation and organ-1
ization is that it furnishes a nucleus around which men
of kindred minds may rally, and gives them a common
cause. Once created, this cause often leads to valuable
results. The average man migut be in perfect agreement
with his fellow, but until he becomes enrolled in some
organization where the subject under consideration may
be crystalized into action, he is like a member of a herd
of prairie cattle—milling around, conscious that some
thing is agitating him, but unable to give expression.
Organization being the order of the day in almost
every departure of human existence, it is passing strange
why it has languished in Alaska. The only forces that
have made themselves felt are the organized forces
which are capable of voicing public desires. Once Alaska
recognizes this fact to the extent that every man wlil
find himself enrolled in some organization having for
its purpose the hastening of progress of the Territory,
be it labor, commerce or what not, she will move for
ward with a bang.
So though you may hate his very “guts” don’t ad
vocate blue-ticketing the agitator from the community.
Rather find a niche for him. He may be the very main
spring of progress.
