SEWARD, ALASKA. THURSDAY, SEPT. 28,
Evidently the world lias lots more people than it re
quires. Millions and millions of the bone and sinew of
Europe are now engaged in the somewhat unproductive
occupation of cutting the throats of each other to the ex
clusion of all less exciting pastimes, and still the fields of
the world are producing enough to feed the world. Even
the fields of the Central Powers are producing enough to
feed their own population although most of the men in the
prime of life in those countries have left the ploughshare
for the rifle. This all shows that the task of making a liv
ing is a minor one. It’ we were satisfied with the fruits
of the earth as Adam and Eve had to be we could, each and
all of us. make a living by working an hour or two each
day. That is the reason, perhaps, why the warmer coun
tries became peopled first. In them good old days a iellow
could kill the fatted calf, pluck the luscious fruit, dig a
few spuds and take a siesta for the remainder of the day
with an unsowed shirt w rapped around him. This is what
Socialists point out to us now and. while a man finds it im
possible to vote for a Socialist candidate for the Juneau
legislature, the picture is an alluring one. You know, we
could do without all tile rest of the Stull*. Ail we need have
would be a couple of good bear skins and a plot of ground.
Not being able to grow tobacco wo could get along with
out it. Eve had no jewelry so why should any of he:
daughters have it V As a matter of fact the so called
struggle for a living is only a struggle for what we could
live without. We struggle only for the accumulation of
money and the extra pleasures that money brings. Soci
alists tell us that non-producers are useless and if this is
so every man on earth is useless most of the time because
%
the man who is really engaged in work of production is
the surplus for coin. But it is because one man can easily
produce more than he needs that the great war in Europe
is possible today. A comparatively small number of pro
ducers can supply an unproducing world.
The world series conies on October 7 and for a time*
at least Kaiser Wilhelm must take a hack seat i:i the world
affairs.
The fact that a Canadian city now threatens to grab
the chief benefits of the Alaskan fish trade is very pecu
liar. It has been said that the Alaskan fishermen have
turned down Seattle because the Seattle fish jobbers ‘‘job
bed" them. If Seattle people are responsible for taking
the trade from Seattle only Seattle is to be blamed.
