City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 23, 1915. '
While many of us may heartily en-j
dorse the attitude of Roosevelt toward
the policy of the administration in the
present International situation and also j
9 his severe denunciation of the so-called j
"professional pacificists,” who are con-'
timiall.v and, in thp. face of the con- I
vinclng examples of the past and pres- .
cut, trying to forestall any attempt to J
safeguard the country against the pos
sibility of armed aggression, at the
same time it is well to remember that !
•he policy of the administration on the'
one hand is not without certain advan
tages while the attitude of the pacific
ists, professional or otherwise, is also j
serving a useful purpose in helping to
restrain tendencies that will, if al-i
lowed to develop unchecked, lead to
conditions that cannot, in any sense be
considered as other thun detrimental
to the future welfare of the nation.
Regarding the attitude of the president :
and his advisors we cannot feel that|
a policy which hesitates to resort to
measures of a seriously aggressive na-,
tare can he, in any degree, detrimental
to either the present or the future of
the American nation. While the seem
ing inclination to accept whatever is
handed to us by others may he viewed
as extending an invitation to further
offensive offerings it is none the less
rlear that a policy that tends to take
a slap before delivering a blow is In
finitely better than an aggressiveness
than ran brook no affront without
rushing into the uncertainties of con
lllct with its train* of fearful possibil
ities.
Judge as we may the attitude of the
administration, it is evident that It Is
guided hy a wise conservatism soundly
based on the time proven wisdom that!
“an ounce of prevention In worth a
pound of cure."

The "honor roll” system of pen
sioning employes who have completed
a stated period of years of faithful
service adopted by the Pennsylvania
railroad and several other corpora
tions during the past few years, marks
a great advance in relations of the
employer and the employe and one
Mint cannot fall to bring about a bet
ter understanding between the man

who hires and the man who sells his
labor. The Pennsylvania road was
lone of the first corporations to adopt
^this system and during the period since
its inauguration, has paid out to its
employes, which at present number
close to forty three hundred, over ten
and a half million dollars. The total
number of names placed on the honor
roll since its inception numbers over
eight thousand but. as about hulf of
the number have died, the present list
is as stated. While the majority of
the corporations which have adopted
the system require the employes to
work a considerable number of years,
generally approximating twenty-five,
several have adopted a limit of twen-i
ty years and in addition have opened |
the way for their employes to advance!
their position In the company to the]
degree that It is possible to progress
from the lowest to the highest position,
the degree of attainment being meas
ured solely by the ability and qualifica
tions of the individual. The manage-:
ment of the Pennsylvania road is regu-:
lated by "civil service" rules and the
present president, and also every other j
with the sole exception of the first,]
have worked their way upward from]
the bottom of the ladder ns have also
every other of the high officials of the
company. It Is stated by those thor-j
oughly conversant with Its workings!
that the retiring system is the most
valuable asset of the road In making
Its service attractive to the very kind
of men that it desires to employ. So
.successful has the system been both
(to the company pnd the employe that
'one cannot but assume the view that
the adoption of the system hv more of
the larger corporations would do murh
to restore that mutual understanding
1 between the employer and the employe
’ that has so long been absent.
EXPLAINS USE OF SELENIUM
IN STEERING TORPEDOES
That the affinity of the element sel
enium for light ran he utilized in the
control of torpedoes after they have
been fired from a tube of a warship
was the assertion of I!. F. Meissner,
j electrical engineer, at the weekly
luncheon of the Electric Club in th"
^ Auditorium hotel yesterday.
Mr. Meissner demonstrated the use
of selenium by a construction on
wheels which he caused to follow a
light about the room.
He asserts that the principle Involv
ed could he utilized for burglar alarm
devices, which would cause a photo
graph of an intruder to be made when,
he Hashed a* light into the room.
Another method in which the ele
ment could be used, lie said, was in
tele-vision, by which conversational
ists on the telephone wire could see
as well ns hear each other.
