THE WORST POSSIBLE MAN.
What kind of man is the worst pos
sible.' is he .1 thief, a burglar, a high
wayman, a drunkard, a traitor to his
country, a murderer, or what?
Let us take the reports that come to
us trom the great war and see if we
can't find some sort of a suggestion as
to the answer to our question, who is
the worst possible man?
According to accounts of at least two
correspondents yvho were with por
tions of the Russian army, that army
a year oi so ago was almost com
pletely out oi ammunition. It had no
eariridges tor ihe small arms and the
soldiers had to use their rifle# as clubs,
tin y had no more chance for their
lives in battle than a bear has against
iii k spoilsman armed with a high
powered rifle. As a result the pool'
.. a i".is.ini soldiers were slaught
i red in .ne tens of thousands.
i he Russian armies were also with- i
'•hi shells tor their big guns which
lit* .i nt that they could not protect
ueii lunches, could not hold any
ceuiid anywhere, so the whole line
iind to retreat. Their own territory
bad in In relinquished and its they
Hire.iivd, in accordance with their
niiiit.ii > pulley, the Russians forced
‘•a mli.i lata ills to precede them and
then they devastated the country,
namely they destroyed crops, homes,
eattb and everything that could give
possible aid to the invaders.
la cause oi shortage of ammunition
ilie Russians lost many scores of thou
sands oi men and deprived other scores
or thousands of poor helpless people
oi all that is summede up in the word
home' and also their opportunity of
making a living.
m.vv. about this time what was hap
pening up along the railroad line to
mi. a retie? Along this line were
sin wn cases upon eases of rifle am
1 mm am, carloads of ammunition,
■ Via trnmlonds of the one thing the
army needed. There it was .thrown off
in tin- snow, lying there to spoil.
How did it get there instead of con
tinuing on to the front? it was
thrown off the ears by order of a rail
way .gent, who had charge of that
section of the line. He told the train
hands to empty the cars and even
yvhole trains of the ammunition and
send the ears back to Archangel for
another olad. And the loads that he
but aboard next time were not for the
army but fm merchant in Petrograd.
Why did tip railway official deprive
the army of the precious cartridges
and instead ship goods to the mer
chant.’ For the reason that the mer
chant paid him the paltry sum of one
hundred roubles for each car he so
diverted from public use and devoted
to the private gain of that merchant.
For the saks of money both railway
official and the merchant committed
murder a thousand-fold, they were
1
i
1
wholesale traitors beyond the power
of words to express; they deprived
wives of husbands, and children of
their fathers; they caused their coun
tr> to be invaded and desolated, and
their country's flag to be lowered. And
they did this for money.
Does not the suggestion come from
this, and from many other things of
our own knowledge, that the worst
possible man is he who loves money
more than yanything else,
A man who loves money more than
anything else will sell out his country,
commit murder, lie, cheat, is there
anything he will not do?
The miser who hoards money to his
own hurt and possible his family's
hurt is mean and contemptible. He
loves money, he may cheat to get it, or
steal, but he is not often a murderer
and traitor.
Hut the man of high station who
will do anything to get money to add
to his power, to his own comfort, who
Wants money for self aggrandizement,
is he fit to live? Should there not be
some punishment worse than death for
such a one?
There tomes into our mind from
somewhere an old saying, "the love of
money is the root of all evil" and it
seems to be strictly true.
You can't as a rule judge a man’s
interest in history by the number of
evasions he celebrates.
No matter what he says almost
every man yearns for the time when
he will be rich enough to do as ho
pleases.
Back in our home town the yellow
ing pumpkin vines used to tell us that
fall had come. Hereabouts the pump
kin vines don’t turn yellow but the
hills turn white which amounts to the
same thing.
There yet lacks any adequate ex
planation from Washington why col
lege students serving on the border
should be permitted to come home and
finish thrar studies, while other young
men who have been enr ed in pro
ductive industry for the support of
themselves reel their families, and
who have thus been adding to the
wealth of the communities in whch
they reside, should be compelled to re
main and do poll •* duty on the border.
Why play favorites? How does this
comport with the demand for univer
sal military training? Whose time is
the more valuable?
The king business seems to be get
ting down to a democratic level. A
fractious horse unseated King George,
and the king of Denmark was only
recently spiled from a sailboat* The
kaiser is subject to stomach trouble,
and there is something wrong with
Rmperor Franz Josefs liver, despite
his alleged divine rights.
The rejection of the Danish West
Indies treaty for the Danish lnndshing
cunnot be allowed to interfere with the
sale of the islands, as might be sup
posed, says Senator Stone. No doubt
the senate is intending to acquire the
iislands by condemnation, under the
authority of eminent domain.
The administration made no mistake
in recalling Ambasador Morgenthau
from Turkey. Already he has suc
ceeded in raising %■’,000,000 for the
democratic campaign funds. Probably
his successor contributed some thous
ands of this amount.
lteports about the weather in the
states indicate once again that Alas
ka weather and outside weather are
related in some manner. Last winter
when we had very cold weather our
friends down below had a taste of the
same sort and right along through the
different seasons tho same climatic j
connection could be noticed. Maybe,
notwithstanding the contrary, Alaska
is part of the L'nited States after all
by the will of providence.
Republicans should remember that
th# numbar of Delegates to go to the
next Territorial Convantion is based
upon the vote cast for Attorney-Gen
eral.
