SEWARD^ ALASKA, MONDAY, JUNE 14, 1915.
The practise of “knocking” reaches the zenith of its inglorious career ir
small towns. The nearest weapon at hand for the punishment of someone
we do not like, or against whon we have some grudge, is the wagging of the
tongue. Men are accustomed to raise their eyes to heaven in horror when
dilating upon the gossiping of the fairer sex but even in this respect women
are their superiors.
The masculine sex as a whole would probably disown the male backbiter
and woman would rightly consider him unsexed, so that he could be regarded
as a disgrace to no sex. whch is some consolation for all sexes.
The backbiter who wears pants is usually found emitting his venom at
anyone who in any sense has achieved even local success. Providence has
provided him with that little spit which is given to some varieties of toads
and cats for their protection. He roams around whispering his calumnies to
all who are willing to listen as the poisoner drops his pellets in the wells.
He even becomes heroic in his expressions of intention to inflict bodily' injury
on someone who. of course, is out of hearing. In a large city he could never
hope to cover the whole ground but in a small town he finds it comparatively
easy to inoculate the whole community with the virus which is in\aiiubly the
secretion of an unsanitary soul.
\Ve should all be on our guard against such curses. Some day the man
who insinuatingly tries to poison your mind against another may' make your
self his victim.
Opinions seem to differ very much as to the value of the new mining
law. Some lawyers believe many provisions will be found to be beyond the
power of the territorial legislature to pass, but several others who have been
asked express their intention to study the matter carefully before coming to
any decision. Later it may be possible to secure some expert judgment on
the measure.
The use of Katalla oil for work on the government railroad is another
indication of the effect which the building of the railroad will have on the
territory. It has often been said that no market could be found at home for
the oil. It has also been said that no market could be found for the farm
produce and various sorts of home production. It shows us how limited
human foresight can be.

CALLED IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, June 14.—A general

the union leaders following a confer

Thousands of men will be affected by
the strike unless some means can be
found to avert the walkout, and as

hopeless. The traffic of the city is
expected to be demoralized completely
