City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. JUNE 10. 1915.
At least there Is one man in the
United States who considers that the
outward aspects determines not the
soul within in so fur us neutrality is
concerned anyway. This man. J. .1
Stevenson, is one example at least that
the business men of America are not
entirely sold to the grinding devil of
commercialism Mr. Stevenson is one
of the largest manufacturers of arms
and ammunition in the United States
and is at the head of the Driggs-Sea
hury Ordnance Corporation whose
business it is to manufacture and sell
powder and shot to whosoever will
buy. In other words his business is to
create the tools wherewith war is car
ried on and men are slaughtered at the
behest of imperialism or powerful
masters Now the present Kuropean
situation with the attendant thunder
of numerous mighty guns would seem
to he a state of affairs much to his
liking for upon such things is founded
the prosperity of his firm. yet. behold
you, here he steps forth into the lime
light and refuses, in his own words,
“to be a party to the bloody war in
Kurope" even if the qualified obser
vance of neutrality does permit him
to sell all the man-killing devices his
plant can manufacture to whoever
cart's to buy. Mr. Stevenson is not n
German sympathizer, be it market),
and it is not his contention that in
refusing the orders for many millions
of dollars worth of war munitions he
is animated l»y any other motive than
pure humanitarianism for he states
that, although his business has been
built up on the slaughter of men. he
has come to a realization of the. ghastly
nature of his calling and therefore ut
terly refuses to sell his death-dealing
stuff to either or any of the belliger
ents. For all of which Mr. Stevenson
may he justly commended although he
is far from conforming to the glaring
commercialism for which his country
men are noted. Such may not he good
business but it indicates that Mr.
Stevenson has a desire to keep -square
with his conscience which desire, it
must be admitted, is a little out of the
ordinary.
In his speech to the American F.lec
tric Railway Association. President
Wilson showed his usual command of
rhetoric and of glittering generalities;
hut strangely overlooked important
facts of business history. Thus he
speaks of the "maze of interrogation
points” which had "checked enterprise
for twenty years” as now being cleared
away by legislation passed by the last
Congress As to checking of enter
j prise during the past twenty years
the statistics compiled and publisher
by his own department of commerce
in the Statistical Abstract of tin
United States, show that during sixteer
.vents of that period, between the eni
of the last Cleveland administratioi
and the commencement of his own, tin
United States expanded In wealth am
in production to a far greater extern
and in far greater ratio than during
any other period in its history. Tin
actual expansion during that perioc
was one of the world’s marvels. Dur
ing those sixteen years the export
trade of the United States expanded
three an 1 one-half times; I lie aggre
gate wealth of the countri nemiy
doubled: the value of farm property
doubled; bank clearings expanded
more than 300 per cent, and loans more
than 250 per cent. The value of the
cotton crop doubled; the production
of steel expanded more thnn 400 per
cent. The value of all of the manu
factures of the United States collec
tively expanded more than 50 per cent
The trade balance In favor of the
United States in Its dealings with otliei
notions expanded more than 500 pet
cent. The conditions whlcti "checked
enterprise" do not seem to have had
any partlncular Influence during the
whole of the sixteen-venr period
Seattle P. I
An announcement from Shanghai,
Chinn, contained In an exchange stat
ing that the Far Eastern Athletic As
sociation with headquarters in that
city and various ramifications in other
parts of the Republic, has elected Pre
sident Yuan Shih-kal as its head and
will extend its organization to ail parts
of China, is most significant evidence
that the "heathen Chinee" lias indeed
entered into the march of world pro
gress with both feet. If the regenera
tion of China needed further •nnflrtnn
lion here it is With Kipling's famous
observation concerning “the devil born
capacity for doing aught" possessed by
tile Chinese, in mind as an index of
capacity, we shall not lie surprised to
hear of the chinks some day walking
off with the base ball championship
or putting up some yellow "hope" to
dispute the supremacy of Pugdom
