SEWARD, VLASK V. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1915.
When the suffragettes openly start a laughing bureau to aid a campaign
of laughing the anti-suffragettes out of business they rather show their
hands. They are really in effect warning the antis that they are going to
laugh. It is so delightfully feminine. “Now look here, you nahsty things,
if you dare to oppose the suffragist movement we shall lawf at you; there
now.” Women may get the franchise, but, heavings. they will never be
politicians.
OM Mars can see the handwriting on the wall if he retains his sight in
his old age. When the people of England, or any part of them, threaten
revolution against forced military service it shows that the people are com
ing into their own. Even from Uetrograd comes talk of revolution in those
days of censorship. Under conditions as they exist at present in Europe the
greater the freedom enjoyed by any people the poorer are their chances in
war. Great Britain has been free from conscription for centuries and this
freedom has given birth to a new independence. Such independence is re
grettable from the point of view of patriotism but, perhaps, it should bo
welcomed as a sign of the growth of human liberty. The nation whose gov
ernment is most autocratic is the nation which is most likely to win a war.
Germany may not be the most autocratic but this German Kultur, which we
read so much about and so little understand, serves as a substitute for auto
cracy. This Kultur may he described as a moral autocracy as it binds the
people of the state as an autocratic government like that of Russia binds
them mechanically or physically. The great end of all nations intending to
enter war should be unity evidently and all experience teaches us that you
cannot have unity where the individual is given freedom of thought. We
learn this in all matters, educational, religious, political and all the rest.
The question which remains to be solved is whether universal liberty of
thought and action is preferable to the glory of the several fatherlands.
With strong partisans it is impossible to seem neutral on any question.
Lot each person suppose he was lighting with another, that he is in a pas
sionate frame of mind and that a third party comes along from whom he
tries to gain sympathy. What will that third party say if he is really
neutral? He will try to quiet you. tell you that he wants to hear all sides,
that the other fellow has an equal right to you for a hearing ami that he will
no more take your side than the other fellow’s. That is, he will say so if
he is really anti honestly neutral, but what will your opinion be of him?
Now, think. Imagine yourself full of hate for your antagonist. Will you
not really believe that the third party is your enemy, at least not your
friend? A really neutral newspaper, a paper which tries to follow the ad
vice of our wise president is the third party very often with respect to this
European war.

FAIRBANKS.—That the miners of

is the report of J. S. Rosburg, the
Tolovana expressman, who arrived at
