LET US HE ON OUR GUARD
W\ have heard a great deal about the Seattle
strikers, profiteerers; porch climbers; boot leg
gers; tinhorn-gamblers; bunco steerers and
hush-whackers, that we' should know what to
do now; and that is, keep away from there. Yet
according to reports hundreds of Alaskans are
wintering there. Surely it cannot be any of
the above traits that can draw northerners, for
their tendency runs in different channel. “Pea
live and let live" is their motto; and most
try to live up to it. It is possible, however that
they -o to Seattle just for a change. Be that as
i‘ may; while we have no fear that any Alas
kan shdll ever become affected with the Seattle
diseases—that of making trouble; it wouldn’t
hurt to be a little cautious and hold the return
ing visitors in quarantine for a month or six
weeks, or until they have let go of the Seattle
•‘spirit’ that is getting extremely notorious and
widely known. We don’t want any of that wild
scramble for money. De we?

decision that we have heard.
VORE WORK I OR UNCLE SAM
The United States is not to have a voice in
ettling the affairs of the old world without as
pirin.' a share of its burdens and responsibili- i
k - i some of our British admirers have their j
way. The London Round Table says this nation
u:d Ke an ideal custodian of the Dardanel
les" because of our detachment, and for the
same reason America’s ’‘task in preserving the •
autonomy'of Armenia. Arabia and Persia will
be easier than if it were to rest in our (Bri
tain’- hands” and "her vast Jewish population
fits her to protect the Palestine." The London
Observer emotes these words with approval and
- y- “the Un ted Kingdom has enough to man
n^e for years to come.”
Evidently there is a disposition to load a large
bare of the white man’s burden on Uncle Sam.
The Czechs Jugo-Slavs and Poles look to us for
i,r!P and ; uidance and the talk is that we must
i the main part of putting Russia on her feet,
if the BcLheviki should leave anything but the
ba>- ground and their unclean selves. Yet it is
' rL a few years since we turned over the Phil
ippine- to the mestizos for political exploitation
becau-'e the burden was too heavy for us.
In the meantime we have quite a job on hand
to regenerate the United States after war acti
v ities and government control have mussed the
things ;.p for us. Portland Oregonian.
