Alaska in particular and the Territory in general.
KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, DECEMBER 14, 1915.
A REGRETTABLE INCONSISTENCY
As a general rule when one is annoyed, on
goes to the source of annoyance and removes th
cause. That is called using common sense; ard
common sense should be applied to all things, par
ticularly among warring nations. Such, however
is not the case in this war, because none have used
that common sense that should be used in all things.
In the present ‘deplorable European massacre, ir.
which hundreds of thousands have been killed al
ready, men, from the Generals commanding the var
ious large armies down to the common soldiers, they
have thus far refrained from using common sense
and remove the cause .of the massacre. It appears,
however, that those who could remove the cause oi
causes of that slaughter seem to be awe in its pres
ence. They seem to be minus the faculty of think
ing and they go round way about taking the lives
of poor slaves like themselves, presumably In an en
deavor to pave the way to the source or cause of
trouble with numb skulls, thus showing to the world
their prowess. They shoot one another at any old
place, time or situation, when as a matter of fact
they know very well that; the cause of their misery
death and suffering is sejourning hither and thither
guarded by a few peons. The cause may be in Lon
don, Paris, Berlin, Vienna or Petrograd, but those
whose duty—by using common sense should he to
remove it, will dig trenches to shoot at the drifts
who are nothing more nor less than creatures of
circumstances. )
When the Great Napoleon had caused enougn
trouble, the powers got together a nd got
him. That ended the trouble. In the present war.
if the cause is hard to discern, the only thing to do
is to remove all those who might possibly be an in
centive; and see how soon this slaughter of slaves
will end. Obviously, slaves don’t amount to much.
They never think.

JUST A “FEELER”
In a dispatch yesterday, Charles Herron, one of
the old guards of -the old Republican party sent in a
“feeler”, as it were, presumably to find out where
£
he is at. We can soon tell him. He and Shackle
ford are nowhere. When the party was given its
death blow some 5 ears ago, it included Alaska and
both of these 'gentlemen are supposed to be dead
like a few others.
They should have more sense than to come open
ly and declare themselves strong opponents of this
and that man. By doing so they show ignor
ance and not astuleness. The voters who threw them
down will hold them down, specially if they attempt
to become officious again. They were that too long.
Now Wickershajn knew very well that the breach
between himself and these few men was too wide
to ever be spanned again; hence his declaration that
hT had returned to the Republican party. The dele
gate’s motive is evidently to keep alive that wrangl
ing in the party, thus insuring his election eveiy
time. Because so long as these dictators keep their
finger in the pie, so long will wrangling continue
And there you have the whole thing in a nutshell.

ONE SOCIALIST FOR DEFENSE
(From the Brooklyn Eagle)
Charles Edward Russell is perhaps the most re
pected of all the publicists who stand for Socialism
in the United Seates. He has twice been the candi
date of his party for governor of New York. His
utterances in Philadelphia, demanding a board and
effective policy of national defense, may estrange
him from fellow Socialists, but we are sure will com
mend him to good Americans. Mr. Russoll fears
German victory in the present war, and a German
seizure of Canada. He sees the possibility of a chain
of German forts on the northern border of the
United States, and the direct menace of a militarv
power unrestrained by conscience or morals. He
wants "a bigger army and a bigger navy than that
of any other nation that may become an enemy of
this country.” and he adds.
“If my convictions on preparedness interfere with
my being a Socialist, which I believe they do not,
then I will get out of the Socialist party. If Ger
many wins, good night to Socialism,and to every
progressive cause. The world will be turned into an
armed camp.”

PASSING JUDGEMENT
It is possible for no one to acquire more than a
limited amount of the results of culture, to form
an entirely original judgement oftener than in a few
isolated cases. But each one can learn to under
stand that it is a mark of culture not to pronounce
judgement upon questions with which he is not con
versant. Good taste prescribes that just as one re
fuses to wear false jewels if one possesses no rea’
ones, so one should refrain from pronouncing judge
ment upon persons or questions upon which one
has not informed an opinion through one’s own im
pressions. When this honesty begins to be con
sidered a mark of spiritual refinement, then will the
culture of woman (for instance) have made quite as
great advance as when she learned to read.—Ellen
Key.
