risk, cost of operation, etc we cannot see!
that they are charging- exhorbitant rates. That
is no more so in proportion to the charges of
our local merchants, mechanics or others trades
It is a complete circle. The companies are !
greedy, but so are we all; the difference lies in
Che degree and opportunity. No the companies!
are not paying us anything for our feeble effort
to be fair.
According to a report. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe !
has been awarded another five year contract for
earing for Alaskan insanes at the Morningside ;
Hospital—such as it is. This contract renews!
a contract for service performed—such as it is
again by that institution for 16 years and calls
for an aggregate compensation of $600,000 on
a sliding scale, beginning at $41.25 a patient per
month and gradually returning in 1925 to the
pre war rate of $27. Poor unfortunate Alaskan
patients! And to think that we claim to be pro
gressive.
Cnn' idlv there are queer peoples in this old
world of ours. Take the cranks for instance. The
trouble with a lot of them is that they believe
the things they want to believe, whether true
- Poi- instance the I. W. W. and Socialists
in this country are clamoring for free speech
as they have it in Russia. Now we wonder how
far an anti free speech would get in Russia if
he stjoke Ids mind in an I. W* W. or Socialist
community.
ThnPrtK-hpvjlfi are said to be in the strike busi
ness all over the country. They are also said to
bu-v raising an army of two nfillion men for
a drive next spring. Reports do not give the
nature of the drive intended. However. Uncle
Sam is sure to be there both at the start and
the finish. He seems to have his eyes on them.
The Seattle strikers have ehosen to call their
M-ik" General strike.” Those people must think
lhat P°ott!e is all there is of this world. They
haven’t even included Tacoma, nor San Francis
co. two perfectly eood cities. But the Seattle
SpMt is <-n confined that it cannot see beyond
if . immediate vicinity.
Sweden, like Russia, wearies of Bolsheviki.
We would advise those countries to turn that
•ouhlc-f'me eminent to the Seattle authorities.
tf tin Bol-hevikis need attention, they’ll get it
there.
