ARE THEY ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH 1
As a generis rale. both daily papers of Juneau *ie
Empire and Dispatch, are quite free us express-Eg
ibwr opinitB of certain things- InQeevi trey are so free
as sense direction* that the popular uapw&ston :
gre*—y that tney have opinion* to bum. ttrer. -■
nateJy, they sometimes fail snort #: expectations.
And some qsediois cotae up for which —ey ..ive r..
t-.-.—i® she matter of divorcing the First Dir*
son from the other* for m* .ar.ee.
It we are to do anything at ai- about this —,..er.
the w» ^ opportune- Ocagress will meet soon ana
a yetted setting forth our reasons for ee-.-j-ra.-on
would lead to d*MM* that cast necessarily precede
final action. A*ide front that there is the fact that
ail public snatters should be .usc-ssed thorough;;..
even at the expense ctf a redaction of the butter on
ostr bread. In this progressive age to look at the pres
ent only is not enough, we should look ahead, besides
to sleep si the switch is bad policy.

THE WORLD IS WEARY
Irs these treubiesonje days, many admit car.—i..'
- they are weary, tire-t of a ccoo many t~tig> -h—
seem cut of place- aad being of this world, we agree
with them. For instance; the world is weary and
tired of ref emers; of ruett who »■>- i pu-2 dewn our
system of government in crier to cerrect tvs tru.:
are tar beyerd legis latter and can only he turret ter
by training aad edacaiksc from ciikfiiood. So much
f or the wiric at large.
Goc.mut clcse to home, the re-; r Be are tired of an
admdsstrar cat that will condone disgraceful actf-oss
by officials- Tired of high prices for all ccmnKxitties;
tired of seeing American fishermen go to foreign
ports to sell their fish: tired of hot air peddlers: of
bu who want them to believe that Mack is wtr.e
Bat above all, the pe-rple are tired «t factions. Reug
ious. pcktc&l, social or otherwise. Aad we are inclined
to agree with them.
This word is too small to divide it- It would be
far better that we should constitute one whole family
with a brotherly feeling towards all than with drris
ions where- e-'—tty. jealously and what not are nourish
ed, biv-ois* _ . >>-1 for those outside. Harmony can;
never bec-ome universal so lore as there are factions
that create dist --.-tier.. r.-d the sooner we forget that
»-f are better than .--t the sooner harmony, con
tentment and hapjv 'css shall seign in our tuidst.

FEMINISM IN GERMANY
German.* has a standing army ©a .rentenoo-as sire,
a navy that is second ©nay to that of Great nriuun.
and an industrial estab.isnment me growth of which
nas been one oi the rues. surprising dereiopmenis in
European history of the las; century. the whole
structure rests on the shoulders of the humblest
women of the empire, and vrotiia collapse it they should
revolt front .;>* Eivy burdens which nave been impos
ed upon them.
Generally speaking. Americans do no-: consider
Germany a agrtcu.iuiu. nation, yet me fact is that
jae Germans have brought agriculture up *o a higher
plane titan any other people on the giohe, and Ger
many is the only European country w kuch relies solely
upon itself for its food supply.
The backbone of Germany is its farm women.
Labor is scarce. Far mere women work in the fields
than men. If the Genst-.r, farm woman should strike,
Germany would ia.e the greases* crisis it ever had to
r.eet. Agriculture would he ruined, industry woaid
fas., and the empire would become b.uikrtipt
I; is a good thing for Kaiser VI ilheiin that the
far* . women of the Fatherland is a stolid, patient
cjva.uie. who gives little heed to the preachings of the
nulitar,: sisters of England, and who has no sympathy
with the spirit or the acts of the radicals in the ranks
of the socialists -ho practice what is known as syn
POSTHMOl'S INFLUENCE
The rel-itior. between nsait and man ceases not with
life. The deai leave behind them their memory, their
eiMite ana the effifecis of their actions. Their
rfl-sace ;abides with us; their names and char
acter dwell in ear thoughts and hearts; we live and
Nggmase with them in our writing's: we enjoy the be
nefits of their labors; our instutions have been founded
by them. We are sarroocnded by the worsts of the
cea.it ocr sr.owledge and our arts are the fruits of their
till; ;*ur minds rave been fanned by their instructions;
we are me si kr. Irately .cnnected with them by a
thousand dependencies- Those whom we have loved in
fife are still objects cf our deepest and holiest affec
tions. Then r-rwer over us remains.—Andrew Norton.
