GEORKE W. HUIBAU) has stated that the $55,000,000 to be spent by
the government on the railroad is a mere drop in the bucket to the amount
of private capital that the building of the rail.
HIBBARD IS RIGHT road will attract to the territory. Hibbard, who
is the Hibbard of the Milwaukee railroad, made
this remark to a Texas newspaper after a visit to Alaska and he certainly is
in a position to be a good judge of conditions that make for development. The
Juneau Empire in speaking of this statement of Mr. Hibbard says:
••The statement of George W. Hibbard, of the Milwaukee railroad,
to a Texas newspaper that the $35,000,000 which the federal government will
spend in Alaska in railroad construction is a mere drop in the bucket com
parable with the amount of private capital that that investment will induce
to come to the territory is not overstating the case. Already a great deal of
money has been diverted by the action of the administration and congress to
Alaska, and we have the evidence that doxens of capitalists arc looking this
way who would not be taking any interest in the north at all if the Roose
velt and Taft policies had been continued. Before the government railroads
are finished that $35,000,000 will not seem nearly as large as it does now."
IT HAS BEEN believed that the advance of civilization would mean the
ending of wars but as civilization increases war seems to come oftener and
oft oner. Seldom in history have so many wars and
WAR GALORE rumors of wars darkened the rising star of civilization
as at the present time. Albania is in turmoil, Austria
threatens Servia, St. Petersburg streets run red with blood, Greece invades
Albania and she and Turkey are preparing for the continuance of the strug
gle that tilled the Balkans with corpses. Ireland is filled with armed men
for the first time for a century. Sir Edward Grey says that bad work is ahead
in China, the Mexicans are just getting over their blood letting, Haiti and
Santo Domingo are cutting throats and the United States is about to inter
fere while she also has an army on Mexican soil.
Everywhere there is war or threatened war or war just come to an end
because money and blood have been expended to the limit.
Universal peace is only the day dream of sentimentalists. Carnegie, after
the Homestead murders, and others like him can go around with their eyes to
heaven for a million years, and with millions of dollars to donate for peace
palaces, but neither Carnegie nor any other human being is God Almighty
and cannot change human nature.
Does not the Bible say that the end of the world will be ushered in
by war and rumors of war, that father will fight against son and brother
against brother? In spite of all this the dreamers continue to dream. So
cialists see in the distance through the haze of their own cloudy imaginations
an Utopia. Others of weak, unobservant intelligence see Arcadian quiet in
the valleys of the years to come but along goes human nature unchecked like
the tides of the ocean, answering to the all-powerful hand of the Providence
which works without stop or stay towards its mysterious end.
