Ketchikan, Alaska, Wednesday \j ; il 9, 1919
SLAVERY IS NOT THE WORD
Evidence that Germany ha- ,:o uieiidn among
the nations of the world is brought forth daily,
and Germany gets no pity in her woes because
those woes are the natural results W what she
did; the results she knew well enough were ine
vitable in case she lost the w '. That in the be
gining and long after the be h ir ;• of it, she
did not admit the possibility of d r 'at, cannot be
a claim to that sympathy he rms to crave
much for now. The confidence Uh which her
military leaders undertook to . the world
was shared by every Ilun, with Tie possible ex
ception of a few,and itwn ■ with wild, rejoicing
that the great majority of thorn, in August
1914, heard the announcement of what they
thought would prove to be but a hnrt glorious,
and enormously profitable raid on weak not to
say unprepared friendl yneighbonv. They were
not deceived , except as all Hmv ■ ■ /elf-deceiv
ed, neither were they dragged a ni. : their will
or with reluctance into the cc h tc wTd which
has ended so disastrously foi them
Now, the aid which they r o be ’.king of
late on the ground of “common hum nity" is now
in sight, but that aid will nm '■-k m ■•e that
ground, but rather for the r: n that only by
enabling them to live and work c n they be made
to pay part of what they owe. '"he terms im
posed by those weak and ■ p- *T.ro-'l neighbors
they started to conquer, . . '• h i be Huns call
“frightful" are but partial ju and they will
excite no pity by insisting or liny as they
do that such terms condemn '-cm to slavery
for the next fifty years or m ire no
more slaves tothe debts
are to theirs. They are by « Tone in
having to carry heavy burde '< r many years,
and they only showthejr barba, km character by
demanding to be releas id ions in
curred of their own volition.

ACQUIRING THE HARIT
There were not a few persons who thought
that after the armistice was signed the country
could go back to the old scale of extravagance.
With the passing of the war, it was argued, the
necessity for thrift had passed. We are, how
ever learning an emphatic lesson to the contrary
every time we purchase something. Commodi
ties are so blame high that they compel thrift, or
go without. If one wants a pair of shoes, one
lias to save for months ahead. Conclusively .ne
cessity is bound to compel us to acquire the
habit of being thrifty. It will be a good thing
for some of us, for some are very extravagant.
Some of us even waste hotair.
Criticism of the peace congress for the length
of time its work is taking, does not appear to be
well founded. A little undue haste might cause
evil which might endure for centuries, whereas
a little waste of time, if there has been any, will
make littledifference a month or two hence.
It is a shame to see Wickersham wasting his
onrgies butting his head against a stone wall,
when with the proper disposition and faculty of
making friends he could have reached the high
est pinnacle in politics. That a man should be
cursed with unlimited ability and a warped dis
position has been a great misfortune to the ter
ritory which might have been benefited greatly
by his influence if exerted for the right. It
must be hell, to have to wear pads on your legs to
keep frombitingyourself.—Valdez Miner
DAMNING WITH FAINT PRAISE
The London Morning Post says: Is the league
of nations better than nothing? It will not pay
the national debt, we know; it would be unrea
sonable to expect that it could be on occasion
broken down and pawned. It will not clothe our
ooor nor give work to our unemployed, except
perhaps to unemployed lawyers and politicians.
It will not grow wheat like Mesopotamia or
rubber, coffee, and cattle like East Africa. But
vill it save us anything? Will anyone put
enough faith in it to risk doing without the Bri
an vy ? That is a question which, possibly,
•e may not be permited to ask, for it is reported
as the Americanview “that if one nation had a
fleet more powerful than that of any other na
tion the cardinal principle of the league of nati
ons would be violated.” The league of nations,
we discover as we go along, has many cardinal
principles unsuspected at first sight. But all
these cardinal principles have this in common;
that they are violated by the prosecution of a
British interest.
