WORK 18 HARMLESS.
Work never hurt any one If It was
only broad enough and deep enough in
its claims on human nature. Our ex
tremely long-lived men have always
been very hard workers. Pope Leo
Kill , who died at 93, Humboldt, who
died at 92; Gladstone and Virchow,
octogenarians, are examples In our
time.
Is it any wonder that a physician
gets impatient when people talk about
the men and women of our generation
doing so much that they are exhaust
ing vitality? The trouble is they do
not do enough. Their interests are
»o lew and so superficial that a lot
of energy’ that ought to be used up
in good work is dissipated within
themselves and does them much
greater harm than would uny possible
.mount of work they might try of
accomplish with it.—James J. Walsh.
MOSQUITOE8 NEAR NORTH POLE

ENTERS NOW THE FILM FACE.
I New York Sun.)
Not so long ago a lot was heard
about the motor car face, aul affliction
wiiich spread over the country like
wildfire and settled upon those who
continually drove or dodged motor
cars. It i» a readily accepted fact
tiiat those of the population of the
! tilted iStales fortunate enough to
drive motor cars are unfortunate
enough to have to dodge them; so the
vast Import of an epidemic of this
character is easy to understand. Ask
any alienist who specializes on motor
inudnesa.
Another epidemic, more malignant
even, has seized the country in its
grip. A new sculptor has come to
work on the expression of our faces.
This time it is a case of movie mad
ness. The little jlggly god of the film
threatens to develop new and startling
styles In facial architecture. Few and
fur between aro the faces that will
not be influenced, for the person now
adays who does not go to the movies
is as rare as a German sausage in a
French restaurant.—Jane Dixon.
ALASKANS FOR ALASKA
t All Alaska Review.;
Alaskans should never get tired re
spectfully suggesting to President Wil
son that whenever It is possible men
from the territory should be chosen for
positions under the federal government.
It does not matter whether such men
are only residents for a short time or
not, as long as they have become bona
tide residents at all. The great objec
tion arises from the practise of send
ing In .men who never saw Alaska. In
the first place strangers cannot be ex
pected to understand what Is wanted
and in the second place the practise
is really a slap in the face at people
residing here. There Is no more reason
why strangers should be selected to
administrate Alaska’s affairs than there
la for electing strangers to our legis
lature.
BUILDING THE RAILROAD.
(Ruby Record Citizen.)
Commissioner Frederick Mears of
the Alaska engineering board has been
accused of discriminating against Al
askans In the railroad work. Coast
' newspapers have quoted tjJm as say
ing "We are going to show the sour
|doughs that we cuu build this rail
road without their assistance," and
hate censured him for such on unholy 1
"Xpresslun.
it all depends on the provocation.
Air. Alears may be more worthy of
sympathy than fame. The man in
Alaska who b at opinions about tiiat
iabroad doest exist. .Sourdoughs are
particularly ‘i.. itic in expressing j
liielr upluions, ,.nd it may be that a1
good many of them told the engineer
now iney thought ae ought to do the j
job. it is pretty sure no two of Lbein <
wanted it done the maiie way .
U is suld Urut once, when an iuUl
.ectly interested person told Andrew
jucksou anal he ought to do in un
• uipoi'iuul matter. Old Hickory retort
ed: 'Ey tlie Eternal, it may be bes\
tor your private affairs for you to
- mi to your own business, and it's
sure to be best for your uealth."
PEACE AND SOCIALISM.
(.Seattle f.-.l.)
Socialism lias bumped against a
hard problem iu trying to preserve
Its peace plank in tbe face of existing
wais and rumors of war. The theory
nas all along been held Hurt war is
unnecessary and Highly detrimental to
civilization and lue happiuess and
welfare of man. and in tins stand toe
country as a whole may well uiiord
-o agree wilu the party, it is a good
-iieory, hut unfortunately requires to
oe applied relatively, and ils adoption
as a national policy is consequent upon
us acceptance oy the remainder of me
civilized world.
An important portion ot the social
ist party in Uermauy and England rec
ognized tins ul me beginning of me
present war, many socialists going to
me li out and others assisting in w ar
pieparutions in every possible way.
a Here remains many socialists, how
ever, wno insist that peace is a usa
ole policy- w helher or not any other
.utlion adopts it os a principle. Auu-v
.eun socialists recently clashed on tne
question at a meeting of the uutional
committee of their party in Chicago.
Kormer Congressman Victor lleiger
was one of those who insisted that a
nation must have the right to light
for its existence, if necessary, and the
very great majority of his fellow-citi
zens, who are in favor of peace, will
agree with him. Tho national com
mittee, however, adopted a resolution
ousting from membership iu the party
any socialist who should vote for a
war appropriation.
There is little divergence of opinion
among the people of this country as
to the things that are intrinsically
good and the things that are intrin
sically bad. Their chief differences
are in the methods to he employed in
procuring the good tilings and getting
rid of tho bad things. It would be
I interesting to know how America
j. would maintain the socialist peace idea
| with tho remainder the world armed
to the teeth and hunting game
WOMEN'S CHANCE FOR PEACE.
iNew Republic.!
Women vote in California, and Cali
fornia Is the source of our greatest
menace. If the women peace party
can solve tbe Japanese question In
California, it will bo tho greatest les
son Its members could offer the world.
It will give them a hold on tho Im
agination, a standing before the na
tions and an authority which no
amount of speechmaking and pamph
leteering can ever give them. The op
portunity Is Ideal; a great, rich state,
a loader in political experiments; a
state whero women vote, where policy
Is under democratic control; and a
problem difficult enough but not In
superable. not incapable of sensible
and honorable adjustment. What bet
ter work could the woman's peics
party undertake than to cut its wisdom
teeth on a thoroughly domestic Issue?
Surely, women cannot hope to inter
vene in Europe until they have shown
what they can do in a country where
