ALASKA AND IMAGINATION.
“Alaska appeals I remendously
In my imagination,” said Frank
lin K. Fane, Secretary of the In
terior, "and I believe it is destin
ed to be l be future home of many
million Americans and of several
new states.” Sounds large, does,
n’t it? Hut why should not Alas
ka he1 the land of imagination and
imagination realized at that ?
Why should it not lie the real
melting pot of this American ron
lienl, where may lie worked out
and realized the ideals of npial
opportunity?
i min mu i-m 'i' < ' m « »|»| »> • i —
(.unities, Alaska won Id la* "a ...
man’s land.” one where is mil
found “Ihe millionaire's home on
fhe hill and a thousand hovels in
the valley." One where Ihe poor
man is no| a pauper nor has Ihe
the fear of pauperism in his
heart. Amid the welter id' other
lands where elfieieney and exploi
tation and privilege “wear the
hear and waste tile body” fell
here he Ihe experiment made for
another type of civilization. A
civilization that does not measure
progress hy Ihe accumulation of
wealth hu| hy Ihe distribution of
happiness.
Other lands respond to the
stern urge of tradition of tilings
that “.iusl growed,” of historic
connections. Here may he a land
wheie "Art combines with Na
ture.” Where no vested inter
ests stand in the way of wise en
deavor. Where no widows and
orphans open their dumb mouths
In plead against their fellows.
Much buncombe, more or less
pure, has heen written about
Alaska. The territory has heen
pictured as I'topia. but it does
not measure up to I hat ideal un
deJr existing conditions. How
ever. it has all Ihe materials for
the making of an ideal stale, or,
as Secretary I,aim says, a num
ber of stales. It has in Ihe raw
all Ihe resources, natural advan
tages and opportunities that were
offered l.o the pioneers in other
slates, and which, for reasons not
necessary here to explain in de
tail. have been exchanged for
messes of pottage which would
not pass fin* lest of the existing
pure food laws.
The cold, practical fads of tin*
situation today are that Alaska
may he preserved and developed
as the truly representative sec
tion of America if tin* forrilurv
is not allowed to pass into ues
poiling hands. Alaska i*dav
stands as Ihe land where hands
and tools may come together >f
only thrift and industry impel the
hands, a land where individualism
may grow from human roils, a
land of eipu. 1 <■pporl.uni' ** -.

THE MAIL ORDER TRUST.
So si 11*1111 y ami insidiously that
the great public is as yel almost
unaware of its presence, a new
trust is extending ils tentacles
out over tlx* country. It is lhe
mail order trust. Already its
slrangliiig grip is tightening
about the million small town and
country merrhaiils, who are lhe
backbone of national prosperity.
Tin* mail order I rust has capi
talized women and child labor.
It has capitalized prison labor.
It has rapilalizctl misfortune. If
has capitalized vice. It has I urn
ed all these things into dollars—
dollars which should have found
their way into the tills of the
country merchants, instead , of
flowing.into the trusty Wall street
hoard. ;
One m'ail order house recently
increased its capital stock from
$50(1,000 to $40,000,000. A new
$10,000,000 merger of mail or
der houses has been formed. Wall
street financiers, including the
Morgan hanking firm, has had
charge of both these financial op
erations. Still another mail order
house with 03 acres of floor
space made a net profit of $17,
000,000 last. year.
The small merchant is the
prop of distributed prosperity,
and the growth of the mail or
der trust serves no Common good.
Here is a principle which works
out: “If you spend your money
where you get it, you will he able
to get it where you spend it.”
Through a systematic cam
paign. the mail order capitalists
ha\;e sought to poison the public
mind against the small merchant.
The people have been told that
there' are loo many merchants,
and that their retail methods are
wasteful and costly. But look at
the other side of the question.
The C.hicagu vice investigation
showed that 50,000 women em
ployees of mail order houses are
existing on starvation wages,
many of them being driven by
poverty to lives of shame. The
mail order houses are the great
distributors . of prison-made
goods. They are the exploiters
of misfortune, buying much of
their goods at bankrupt sales.
Who takes an interest in local
affairs and has a hand in the up
building of communities'? Whose
goods are assessed for the taxes
to pay for local improvement?
Who. when the run of fish has
failed or the strike is on, and
there is no cash to send away,
extends credit, which enables the
community to live? The local
merchant, and not the Wall street
owned mail order houses.
We want cheapness, a lower
cost of living, that is what we are
all working for. Tint we do not
want it at I ho expense of the
women wage slaves of Chicago
and of the million little merch
ants of this country.--Ketchikan
