EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR RAILROAD MEN
The attitude of President Wilson in tlie railroad controversy,
which he is attempting to mediate, will he disappointing to the
big interests. The idea of an eight-hour day for railroad nun.
who formerly have been compelled to work twice that, number of
hours under sanction of the law, will he regarded as revolutionary
m the extreme. For many months paid advertisements have ap
peared in all kinds of publications, setting out the impossibility
of operating the railroads on the basis of the agreement proposed
by the organizations of railroad employes, and showing that under
the plan proposed SldO.UdO.OOO would he added to the operating
expenses. They have sought by both open and insidious means
to work up public sentiment in opposition to the demands of the
men. But they appear to have been unable to stampede the Presi
dent, who seems earnestly desirous of averting a strike, and sug
gests that the shorter work day be given a trial.
Like every legislative enactment that has been put into opera
tion for the betterment of the condition of the railroad man, and
for the safeguarding of life and limb of passengers and trainmen,
the eight hour day. according to the railroad officials, spells ruin
for the transportation companies.
When the railroads were compelled by law to fit their cars with
automatic couplers, displacing the antiquated methods which were
responsible for the loss of hundreds of lives annually, the same
old cry was set up. The expense attached to the change was be
yond the means of the impoverished railroads. But the couplers
were installed within the liberal time limit allowed, and in spite
of this, railroads have continued to flourish, to extend their opera
tions, and to pay dividends. And tiie loss of human life and limb
has been immeasurably reduced. The same calamity howl was
observed when air brakes were insisted upon. The heavy outlays
connected with this installation were such that they were not in
universal use for many years after their introduction. Yet today
the old hand brake is obsolete even on urban street car lines. So it
was when the law limiting the numner oi nours oi commuous
service on trains was enacted. If the railroad officials were to be
believed, the prevention of trainmen from being on duty anywhere
from fourteen to thirty-six hours continuously meant that every
railroad in the United States would be in the hands of a receiver
in a short time. But when it was found that a large percentage
of accidents and consequent loss of life was attributable to the
fact that the trainmen had been on duty for such unreasonable
lengths of time that their faculties were numbed, the law was
enacted and enforced. And now there are very few disasters on
railroads due to the falling asleep at his post of an exhausted en
gineer. or to the reason that a sleepy brakeir.au had failed to set
proper signals. The same farce was enacted with reference to the
insistence by legislative bodies upon safe and scientific methods
of signalling, and the installation of the block system. It has
been one continual fight on the part of the people for the safe
guarding of life and limb of passengers and employes on the one
hand, and the unreasoning opposition of these quasi-public insti
tutions. the railroads, to defeat the reforms on the “core of econ
omy. That it has been a short-sighted, narrow policy on the part
of the railroads is shown by the fact that those companies which
made a point of sparing no expense to insure safety and comfort
were rewarded with the bulk of the traffic, which had as much
effect as the legislative acts in bringing about the general im
provements.
It is more than likely that the eight-hour day will become an
accomplished fact ultimately on railroads as well as in other en
terprises, and it would not be at all surprising if a few years from
now the pleas made in opposition to its introduction be looked
upon as in line with those made against other reforms necessary
in the evolution of the railroad business.
THE ALASKA FISHERIES
One of the most interesting public documents dealing with
Alaska affairs ever published by the government, is the report of
the hearings before the house committee on merchant marine and
fisheries on the Carlin bill, which aims to deprive the territory of
Alaska of the power to impose taxes or licenses upon the fishing
industry. It developed a most exhaustive inquiry, and Delegate
Wickersham was able to place before the committee some valu
able information with respect to an industry whose annual product
totals in the neighborhood of ¥20.000.000, and which he attempted
to show is rapidly being absorbed by the “fish trust." That
Alaska itself derives comparatively little benefit from this industry
was conclusively shown, and the following excerpt from the pro
ceedings gives a glimpse of the actual conditions. Mr. Wicker
sham is on the stand, and is being interrogated by the committee.
The following is part of his statement:
“Now, Mr. Chairman, if you were in Seattle along about
the first of May you would be very greatly interested if you
would go down to the wharves. In Seattle, Astoria, or the
city of San Francisco, you would see all sorts of vessels lined,
up around those wharves. You would see the boats and ships
being loaded with men, with fishing gear, and all kinds of
mercantile goods. You would see Chinese and Japanese, Mex
icans, Filipinos, and hundreds of strange men put into these
vessels, and much merchandise, which they do not purchase
in Alaska. They do not buy one cent's worth in Alaska.
They sail away from those wharves, sail through the Aleutian
pass into Bristol bay and into these Alaskan harbors. Within
two months they catch and can ¥20,000,000 worth of fish.
They work day and night, and the fish keep going into cans
every minute, because the run is short. Within two months
after getting into Alaska they load their catch into the ships,
load their men, and sail away to Seattle. Portland and San
Francisco, where they pay the men off, and Alaska is just
out another big crop of fish. Those who have been in the
business have raised the price, as I have shown, from $1,
¥1.68 and ¥1.72 up to ¥2.25. They make millions out of it,
and now they have grown so arrogant they want the title to
the fisheries. I have gone over this matter for the purpose
of calling your attention to the fact that the people who do
this business in Alaska are not Alaskans; they are not even
all American citizens. One of them, one of the big canners
for many years, was a Chinaman. They run Chinese crews
up there, and the way they treat them is un-American.
Everything has been done by the district attorney at Seattle
to prosecute them and convict them for peonage, but he has
not succeeded. Their influences are too great around Seattle
to secure any results of that kind.”
Mr. Curry—A great many white men go up from San
Francisco; I do not know about Seattle.
Mr. Wickersham—There is one section in the bill of the
state of Washington which these gentlemen have forgotten
to include in this bill. They say this state of Washington
bill is a good bill, but they do not include all of it. I refer
to section 58 of the Fisheries Code of Washington, and it reads
as follows:
“It shall be unlawful for any person to fish or take for sale
or profit any salmon other food or shell fish in any of the
rivers or waters of tills state, or over which it has concur
rent jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases, unless such per
son be a citizen of the United States, or has declared his in
tention to become such, and is and has been for twelve months
prior to the time he engages in such business an actual resi
dent of this state or an adjoining state; but this section shall
not apply to Indians.”
I call your attention to the fact that those people do not
allow Alaskans to come down there and fish in their waters,
and the worus, "adjoining state,” have recently gone into that
section. I have called this to your attention for the reason
that I have been trying to get some laws passed here for
seven years in order that we might have a fishing population
in the territory of Alaska; that we might have fishing ham
lets and towns; that we might get something out of these
fisheries with which to build homes, churches, schools, and
establish civilization there. But, on the contrary, the whole
policy of these big fish trusts is to take everything out of the
territory and not permit anything to come into it. They do
not want to pay any taxes to the territory; they have never
built a school house in the territory; they have never built
a church or a home. They are robbing the territory. I am
speaking from the territorial tide now. They have robbed
the territory for thirty years of all of its fisheries, and we
have not gotten anything substantial out of them except the
slight pittance which the government has expended up there.
As a substitute for the Carlin bill Mr. Wickersham submitted a
draft of a proposed measure extending the power of the legislature
of the territory of Alaska over all the fish and fisheries of Alaska,
and providing that the legislature shall pass laws for the conserva
tion, protection and regulation thereof. A leasing system is pro
vided for, for a period not to exceed five years, at the expiration
of which they shall forfeit to the territory and again be subject
to lease to any applicant. The fishing areas are to be limited
in size.
O
The recent, disgraceful outbreaks in the restricted district em
phasize the fact that a more strict supervision must be exercised
over these people before more serious crimes are committed. Tol
eration of the “social evil” seems to have engendered something in
the nature of disregard of law and order. Some of the recent oc
currences have savored of a hold Haunting of vice which is an open
defiance of authority and decency.
The reason for the clamor for American intervention in Mexico
is emphasized in a recent consular report prepared by Consul
Letcher of Chihuahua, in which the total valuation of the wealth
of Mexico is placed at $2,434,241,422. Of this, Americans i wned
$1.1157.770,000, or 43 per cent, while Mexicans owned only $792.
187.242, or 32to per cent. The remainder of the wealth of Mex
ico was held by British, French and other foreigners.

The statement of the Anchorage Star that the Cook inlet coun
try would tie an ideal place for automobiles if it were only pro
vided with roads is a reminder of the ancient story regarding irri
gation. Two passengers on a train running through a Western
desert were discussing the country. Said one: “This section
would be a paradise if we only hail water.” “That’s all that hell
needs," replied the other.
In view of the difficulty which is encountered in extracting
from unwilling witnesses the details of alleged crimes committed
in their midst, it appears to be rather a dangerous state of affairs
to allow the denizens of the restricted district the extreme license
which they now enjoy. Judging from the "testimony” at Tues
day’s examination in commissioner’s court, if a murder were com
mitted there in the presence of the whole crew, the coroner’s ver
dict would necessarily he that the victim committed suicide.
■-O
Of course if that big fleet of German submarine merchantmen
should be put into commission, as is the announced intention, they
would operate under somewhat of a handicap. For instance, after
all the protests that have been made against selling war munitions
to the entente allies, they could not consistently buy such supplies
from us. It would he interesting to hear from the hyphenated ones
on this question. It probably will he found, however, that they
will use our markets to the fullest extent of their ability and
desires, just as the allies have done.
Should the administration of President Wilson have accom
plished no other lasting service to the people of this country, the
passage and approval of the child labor law would entitle him to
the gratitude of present and unborn generations. This is not a
land of equal opportunity so long as its industries are dependent
upon the labor of children who should be developing in God’s sun
light and acquiring knowledge and growth that will lit them for
life’s battle, instead of being cooped up in noisome factories which
stunt physical and intellectual growth alike.

The famous Heinze Amalgamated Copper Company fight in
Montana a few years ago is recalled by a suit recently filed in New
York by the United Copper Securities Company to recover $12,
000,000 under the anti-trust act from William Rockefeller, Adolph
Lcwisohn, the Amalgamated and Anaconda Copper Mining Com
ponies and others. It is alleged in the complaint that Lcwisohn and
H. H. Rogers caused $250,000 to be offered to the judge who de
cided against the “trust” in Montana to get the Heinzes’ Minnie
Healy mine, as a bribe to grant a new trial; that when he re
fused to do so the defendants tried to have him impeached, and
that in 1897 they caused the plant of the Montana Ore Pur
chasing Company to be set i n tire and cut off the water supply.
The plaintiff says it was damaged more than $4,000,000, and is
entitled to treble that amount under the Sherman law. All of
the allegations of the complaint may well be believed, with the
exception of that relating to the refusal of the bribe. If it prove
true that the money of the trust was scorned, those Montana
people, instead of erecting a monument to an honest judge, will
be inquisitive as to the sum offered by the opposing ,-i-le.
THE RELIGION OF KEEPING COOL
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat)
It may be that extremes of conjoined heat and humidity had
much to do with the unusual one-dav’s harvest of great crime
growing out of petty causes. The mind unused to self-re-train;
regulation and control will snap more quickly under such trials
than one which has learned to face the world with composure —
yes. even though it be only ‘“that repose which stamps the cast
of Yere de Vere.” Truly, he that ruleth his own spirit is greater
than he that taketh a city, while one incapable of such a rule is
a creature of chance and environment, walking always amid dan
gers which may at any hour overwhelm him with miseries, made
keener for the miseries his momentary madness has brought upon
others, whom he loves, and who have become the innocent vic
tims of his insane rage. Because man may not live by or for him
self alone, and because ail of our lives are interwoven with others
in the web, that love which is self-sacrifice should enjoin upon us
the fine religion of keeping cool.
Is there a much finer religion? How often, in that Book
where sin is made most visible to the eye, it is attributed to “the
men of wrath"—men not master of themselves; men unable to
govern their words or acts; men who, instead of repressing that
evil spirit which is in all of us, must let it rage, either inwardly
or outwardly, unfitting themselves for the evil days which must
come, and which will find them unprepared for swimming against
the tide which, taken at the flood, leads on to madness. Keeping
cool is more than philosophy. It is more than a social grace. It
is relieion.

BEATEN AT HIS OWN GAME
(Forty-ninth Star. Anchorage)
It was Bill Nye who had an old pipe that smelled so strong
that whenever a “bore” came to the office and commenced to spin
long yarns about some feat he had performed in the early days
of Colorado Bill would light it up and, getting the said bore on
the windward side of him, would proceed to “smoke him out.”
It is said that the smell from Nye's pipe, when it got a-going fu!l
force, was something almost unendurable. It was one of Nye's
greatest pleasures of life to smoke some egotistical yarn-spinner
out of his office. One day a long, lean, lantern-jawed man from
Arkansaw came in and commenced to read copy, and after pieing
a half column of type, sat down in Nye’s editorial chair and began
to recite the early history of his native state. Bill soon tired of
his string of “I’s” and, with a smile of anticipated satisfaction,
reached for his old pipe. The Arkansaw traveler, getting a whiff
of the long green, drew forth his old pipe that he had brought
from home and he also lighted up, and no man on earth can
make the English language describe the smell of that Arkansaw
pipe as Bill described it. It was a battle royal. Bill smoked
long and hard, but the old Arkansaw man seemed to pay no heed
to Bill’s pipe, for his own was so much stronger. Finally Bill’s
head began to swim and he had that sickness of the stomach that
every boy understands when he remembers his first cigar. He
got up and left the office in disgust, while the gentleman from
Arkansaw read the balance of the copy on the hook and pied an
other galley or two of type. Poor Bill! ILis “siege gun” was out
ranged.
We have been reminded of this story since coming to Anchor
age. For the forty years we have been publishing newspapers we
have been prone to dig up weeds growing in any community rather
than to go through life “on flowery beds of ease.” Some men
have even gone so far as to say that we were inclined to criticize
and find fault ; but we meant no harm. Our pipe of sarcasm and
ridicule, when we started it a-going, ’most always made the other
fellow take to the woods. It was our siege gun of offense and
defense. But since coming to Anchorage we have been smoked
out. There are a few fellows here who have a fault-finding pipe
so strong that- it makes us feel like Bill Nye did when he met
the man from Arkansaw. Our old pipe has been outranged, and
all that is now left us is to find fault with the fault-finder. It
may be that these men will some day meet their man from Ar
kansaw, who in turn will smoke them out at fault-finding, but if
they do the man in the moon will have to hold his nose while
the “smoker” is being pulled off. We are a has-been. We can’t
come back.

CAGLIOSTRO, MAN OF MYSTERY
A hush fell upon the gayeties of the court
of Louis XVI November 29, 1780, when
Count Cagliostro, the lion of Paris society,
gravely announced that on that day and at
the moment named Queen Marie Antoin
ette’s mother, the Empress Marie Theresa,
had died in Vienna. Now, there was no
telegraph or telephone al that time, and
the fleetest messenger could make Paris
from Vienna in no less than five days. Of
course, the vast majority of courtiers merely
thought that Cagliostro had taken big
chances on a bold guess, and they sniffed
dubiously. Then, early in December, a
messenger appeared with a dispatch from
the queen, and Paris stood agape to note
that the count’s grim prophecy had been
fulfilled to the hour of the day.
Ambassadors, nobles, princes were now
ready to believe some of the most extrava
gant claims concerning Cagliostro “that he
could manufacture gold; that he could sum
mon even kings from their graves; that he
had renewed the youth of his wife, who
was really a very old woman with a son of
50; that he was of divine origin ami could
make himself invisible at will. It was
thought also that he had lived for centuries
-that he was, in fact, the Wandering Jew.
He awed Europe with his hypnotic feats
and hv his healing of the poor, from whom
he would accept no payment. He insti
tuted a sort of masonic cult, into which
he drew thousands of initiates, many of
them women. He foretold the lucky num
bers of the government lotteries and dis
pensed his elixir of youth, the “Mine of
Egypt.” He lived like a noble, showered
money upon charities, assumed a majestic
manner which forbade familiarities.
Once when someone made so bold as to
ask. “Who are you?” he replied, "I am
He Who Is.” As in the case of St. Ger
main. no one could learn whence he had
come or whence he had obtained his title.
But whereas St. Germain spoke all lan
guages equally well. Cagliostro spoke them
“equally badly.” The Prince Cardinal Ro
h.an declared that he had seen the count
manufacture gold and diamonds, f inally,
after he had become implicated with the
cardinal in the celebrated scandal of the
[ queen’s diamond necklace, they locked him
up in the Bastile, where he uttered the
prophecy:
“The Bastile shall be destroyed and the
people shall dance on its site.”
And this prophecy was fulfilled com
pletely within three years. But by this
time Cagliostro hud been acquitted ami was
drifting about Europe. Having reached
Rome, however, he was condemned hv the
pope as a dangerous foe to religion, and
sentenced to life imprisonment in a dun
geon, where he died in 1795.
His jiast was then laid hare and it was
learned that he was Giuseppe Balsamo, son
of a poor peasant of Palermo, Sicily. He
had been such an incorrigible at school that
he hail to he expelled, and after this dis
grace his family entered him in a Sicilian
monastery, where he was put to work in
the apothecary shop conducted by the
monks. His knowledge of chemistry learned
here had profited him his successes in later
life.
Entering early upon a career of deceit,
his first feat was to sell to an unsophisti
cated peasant, for sixty pieces of gold, the
secret of an alleged treasure cave, but dur
ing the dupe’s search for t.hp treasure he
was set upon by ruffians of Balsamo’s em
ploy, who, masquerading as imps of Satan,
beat him into insensibility.
This little episode was the cause ot l>ai
Famo’s plunge into the outer world, which
now offered him such a variety of adven
tures. He had to flee from the outraged
authorities.
Wandering acifoss Europe, he crossed into
Asia, and in the Orient gleaned the esoteric
knowledge that later enabled him to iniiu
ence the rulers of men. In Rome he gained
the affections of a wonderfully beautiful
girl, he wed her and made her his partner
in mischief.
When they arrived in Paris she was still
only 20. but, to sell his “Wine of Egypt,"
lie pronounced her to be an aged woman,
mother of a son of 50. who had renewed
her youth by this elixir of life.
But, although proved a swindler and a
quack, no one ever satisfactorily explained
to the people of his time the secret of his
psychic feats, such as guessing the success
ful lottery numbers and announcing the
death of the queen’s mother. They were the
foundation of his reputation as the greatest
man of mystery of modern times.—Ex.

GOOD-BY TO MR. HAY
(Kansas City Star)
The nation will welcome the news of the
promotion of Renresentative James Hay to
I a judgeship of the United States court of
I claims. It gives Mr. Hay a life job at a
j good salary. It removes from him any
j worry over the exigencies of politics and
j the ambitions of younger men who might
1 presume to think themselves capable of rep
resenting the Seventh Virginia in congress.
And it takes him out. of the chairmanship
of the house military affairs committee,
where he was a constant menace to the
safety of the country by his opposition to
preparedness and puts him in a position
where he may find useful exercise for his
talents without jeopardizing the interests of
anybody except persons with a claim against
the government. All things considered, it
is a delightful way out for the nation and
floes credit to the resourcefulness of the
President.

SHONBECK A LIVE WIRE
(Anchorage Star, July 23)
There is no place in Alaska where the
auto can be operated with greater success
than in Anchorage and the Cook inlet coun
try generally, if we only had roads. A. A.
'Shonbeck, the agent for the Ford auto, has
recently shipped four or five cars here, and
sales are quickly made, and if the country
only had roads there soon would be fifty
cars here. Mr. Shonbeck has taken up the
question of good roads and is doing what
he can to interest the business men of the
place in the road question. There is no
one thing of more importance to all the
people of this district than the building of
roads, and a few more men like Mr. Shon
beck will soon start the ball to rolling. Let
the good work go on.

GERMAN-AMERICAN PRESS
(New York World)
As an attentive reader of the Greman
Anierican press for many weeks, the World
finds that it is everywhere strongly marked
by certain common characteristics. By ac
cident or otherwise, these foreign language
newspapers, whether published in New
York, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cleveland,
Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis or Detroit,
reflect the same views and even sometimes
print identical articles on topics of the day.
With practical unanimity but with dif
ferent degrees of fer.vor, these widely-scat
tered newspapers support Mr. Hughes. In
their daily comment they are exceedingly
disrespectful and unfriendly toward Presi
dent Wilson. The government of the United
States is regularly denounced as pro-British,
as are all newspapers and public men that
do not echo their prejudices or faithfully
adhere to the kaiser’s policies. To be
“American” in their sense is to be pro
German in speech and sympathy, and noth
ing else will suffice, according to their strict
editorial requirements.
