HE ELYS HAD ENOUGH
Abs marts from President Wilson's speech that
caaae by te.e-gnr:. would in-mcase that ae is aim-.-rt
at the end of his ptixnce with the hyphenated Ameri
can. Seemingly, he had about, all he caw* to have:
and m every way his ;s right. For the last year or
jaete. they have given mm considerable uw>.e. not to
mention the rest o.f the America* eitisens. Forturaie
Sv—as the ©resident is reported to nave said; there
is a*iy a small group, comparatively speaking, of
Hi« class os men who profess to be Americans at
heart but express alien sympathies by underhand ac
tions. The sooner that class of entaer. is rooted, the
soccer shall we feel as peace.
Wfees a mas takes the oats of alkgiaaoe to a
ctjuntrv. ?u - * oath makes mm then ana thereafter a
citisen of that country. Es dthaulip stands—or
should stand high above- everything else. However,
he may love the land where he was bears, or where hi
incesters lived, by his oath be nas p.-edger miniieu
loyalty to the nstioc whose os tiara be has become.
This country has no desire to ester into any conflict
bet hdbritak who wish to meddle, they are at lib
erty to go wherever they please and mediae, but to,
3_ae the freedom of this country to faster usc->r.:e r.l
meat shoeM mot be coetenanted for otse- moment. 'Be
sides hyphenate*: Americans who play sk-ac.e -4o no:
deserve the hvrber. whoever they may be.

THE COLONEL-© MISTAKE
A few days ago. \Y. P. H-: bar®so® me Co.->r.e: e.
Infantry aoi the head of the Alaska R-:a.t *. orrmissr.: m
made a visit to Juneau, and naturally “boasted some.
The Empire gave him a great deal of space in its
valuable catenas that he might air his grievances and
incidentally enlarge c® ms virtues- Finally in a three
rsLragrapfc note with the capm-ra*. ‘-Richarlson- c-r
‘W>rk-- standing at Washing*.©;:.” the Empire says:
"In view of the impression that it has been sought
to create n A'aska that Delegate Wickershaiu has
v,i‘5t*r'v'. -,nfroe at the National Capital .the fol
r.’v uig fr.Co:. W, P. Richardson, president of .he
a ;s.c . v.r.i of Read Cera:-:ss;oners, I# a matter
p; interest.
Cel. Richardson was asked concerning the degree
of respect and eeafsderxe in which the Delegate »s
held at Washington. CoL Richardson replied:
- ‘By reason of a voluminous disregard for she
truth and for the common principles of decency, he
has attracted some attention in the public eye. but he
commands about the same degree of respect in she
National capita! as a horse thief dees in the state
of Texas.’ *
It is just what one expects front such a man as tne
CideneL Such a man never encourages the popularity
>f another who is popular with the masses; aim a mar.
who is popular riA the masses, is aetwr popular
with such a man .is the Co'.ere "Wick .‘as foagh:
his battle unaided: has won over the opulent*: has
made himself popular by working for the masses; while
"Rich" was raised at the r.vrenunen; nursery; has
fed In the government trough ever since be was knee
higa and has cultivated the faculty of making him
self pleasure with the powers that be for selfish in
terests. and that is to head bis position. Thu* we see
why "Rich” does not love "Wick.” "W sek" bolds bus
position by the will of the people while "Rich” hoods
his by she will of the underlings: and that’s where the
Colonel make* his mistake.

WHEN THE WORKERS QllT
(From the Saturday Evening Post)
Tc the cumber of men under areas add those engag
ed ia -tiling war ir.unstioEts except feed and clothing—
though a great deal of war clothing is wasteful in that
it is used op far aster than if the wearers were in a
civil occupation.
Eeeaentkally cv-astdeted. ail these men are idle,
'or they are producing no wealth. For Great Britain
their number has been calcwSated at something like
half the total working population. The proportion is
probably about the saute for the other belligerents,
except Russia, where it is somewhat lower.
Ssoose something tike half the gainful employed
t’M"ulutl-m of the Tutted pistes struct work, sat down
srsd twiddled their thumbs for two or three years.
j — ^ sueriu idleness by ttte govemntent during
that period. Suppose there was some destruction of
property by blowing up bridges, throwing explosives
- - -; factories and burning villages. Suppose there was
c. very high casualty and morality rate among the
tilers- Our economic position would then be about
Vke Europe's. The govertssneat would be t-jrrowmg
immense sums to support its millions of pensioners,
£ad our problem would be to offset the drain as much
a? possible by levying on labor that is not normally
employed productively—the surplus of labor of women
children. the aged and the halt—and by economizing
-ft ail possible ways.
