NOME, ALASKA. FEB. 26, 1916.
President Wilson seem . to „ave
stirred up a vast deal of fuss back in
Washington by his persistence in
clinging to the view that merican?
are justified in butting into any kind
of danger Just because a dubious law,
which A recognized mors In the breach
man in the observance, savy ,hey luvc
right to do so.
According to the dispatches, neither
congress nor the dictates of discre
tion can move him from the view that
the citizens of this great land of the
tree and the home of the brave have
a perfect right to roam the broad
areas of God s footstool In any manner
they choose as long as they are within
t he terms of that much abused code
-t international conduct known as the
International law.
This view Is all right in a general
sense but at the same time it takes,
little regard for the possible conse
quences of allowing the untamed
American to go gallivatlng around
bvhere there is lots of trouble on
hand. That Germany will be pro
voking both the moral and internation
al law in the event that she persists
in her Intention of sinking unwarned
all armed merchant ships of the bel
ligerents, passenger vessels and all
goes without dispute.
Such action Is Indefensible. Neither
Germany nor any other nation has
either the moral or legal right to de
liberately destroy human life on the
mere score of being unable to carry
on a certain line of conduct without
doing so and we cannot blame the
president for trying to dissuade her
from enforcing her decree. But at
the same time we doubt the wisdom
of his refusal to consider congressional
measures which will tend to prevent
Americans from exposing themselves
to danger when there Is no need to
do so. Germany has agreed to re
spect the passenger carrying vessels of
belligerents provided they carry no
arms so we cannot see the sense of
Insisting that Americans shall he per
mitted to travel on vessels which are
armed and therefore liable to attack
We will concede the right of the Am
erican to proceed anywhere he wants
to, on any ship that he wants to, at
any time that he wants to. The In
ernational law gives him that right
and we may also agree that the prin
ciple is right but what Is the use
of allowing him to employ that right
to the possible detriment of his coun
try and the destruction of thousands
of his countrymen.
This Is what is very liable to follow
if the president continues In his op
position to congressional enactments
which will tend to lessen If not com
pletely dissipate all possibilities of
harm resulting tn the nation as a
reult of the unheeding or deliberate
acts of individual citizens abroad.
AFTER THE WAR—WHAT?
Boston Record.
Conjecture of w-hat will happen after
the war continues avidly. We have
already canvassed the fears and the
refutations that Europe will fl«p.d us
with cheaply dumped goods. The New
York Ulobe Incidentally calls atten
tion to a chance for us to do some
dumping:
itussta for a generation has beet»
an enconomic dependency of German)
Now Russia, forced to manufacture at
home what formerly was imported, is
being industrialized as never before
It would seem as if Germany has lost
her best customer for all time, and
that, even though Germany and Aus
tria should win, never again will Rus
sla be an outlying business province
of the German empire.
More than a quarter of a million
native troops from India are lighting
for Great Britain in various theaters
of war—lighting and many of them
dying alongside white coloniuls and
peers of the realm. Afterward, can
these dark co-defenders of the em
plre be held in the disesteem of the
past, can they be barred from full
p ti cicip&tlon by a color line? The
opinion of one of them as expressed
<n a foreign print is worth quoting:
In the new vlson of a free united
empire, India will claim a place of
equality in council and camp. Hei
soldiers are soldiers of the king: they
will not be satlfled until the king's
commission entitles them to lead in
war as faithfully and gallantly as they
have hitherto followed.
NEW MINING LAW NEEDED IN
ALASKA.
Exchange
Secretary of Interior Lane in his
annual report speaks of the necessity
jf a new set of mining laws. He says.
"The old code is so elaborate and
compllcatd that the best brains can
not tell what the law Is. The truth
seems to be that between mining en
gineers and mining lawyers the rules
of the game have been refined into
obscurity. And if congress were te
say to the president that he might
select three men familiar with mining
laws and miners' difficulties to suggest
a new- mining code to congres, it
would. I believe, be giving in earnest
a new freedom to the mining indur
.ry.
‘Then, too, there is the matter of
the further development of Alaska
That land Is a long way off. It would

be too hazardous a thing to surrender
these resources to local control or
disposal, for those who have lived In
any new country know how great the
temptation is to grant awty.’ watei
front and power sites, forests an*}
other exceptional resources to those
who come offering large sums fof
quick Improvement. Tet this should
not drive us into a policy that makes
slow administration a necessity. The
confusion In administrative action In
Alaska is welt known. 1 have tried
to give It currency that It might
hasten the establishment of some
method of co-ordinated control of Al
askan affairs, primarily In the hands
of a resident commission, but always
in touch with and responsive to the
wish of congress and the president
through one of the departments. That
land has a mysterious charm, a pull
which affects all who see It. and those
too, who only know indirectly of its
largeness, Its grandeur and Its econ
omic possibilities. This could not be
better Illustrated than by the number
of applications for places which were
received by the Alaskan engineering
commission. When that body left for
Alaska In the spring the number was
over 3S.000, and most of those who
applied were not out of work but
already held positions wdih railroads,
In banks, on farms, or in some city
shop. They wished a taste of the large
.ifo of this new land. There are many
whom win make Alaska richer by
their presence and find happiness In
searching out the land. And strongly
would 1 urge that the standpoint of
tie government should continue cue
of sympathetic co-operation.
