SEW VR 1>. ALASk V. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER. 13, 1915.
The simple word "efficiency" means a tremendous lot whether it is used
in relation to the conduct of a war or to the keeping of u fruit stall. Be
tween the i fficient and the inefficient there is apparently a very small
margin discernible until both qualities are brought into action. For instance;
before the gn at war broke out one might see German regiments march and
see Russian regiments march and not be able to discern any difference in
their relative worth. When tried out, however, the preparations for effici
ency of the Teutons soon becomes evident. The same holds good in all walks
of life; in the storekeeper, the carpenter, the doctor, the newspaper, and the
more public is the nature of the business, such as that of the newspaper, the
more will the difference between efficiency anti the reverse make itself felt.
The most entertaining of all sorts of humor is that of the unconscious
variety. The other night the Seward city council passed an ordinance to keep
horses from running at large. The proponents of the ordinance or some of
them warmly declared that some day a child might be killed by one of those
animals and that then it would be too late to pass such a law, but immediate
ly some of those same people suggested that the ordinance be passed but
not enforced. Is words are words, as Kipling says, this can only mean that if
a horse kill> a child the owner of the animal can be convicted of a mis
demeanor and fined ten or twenty or thirty doilars or something like that.
Of cour>e. v hat e eouncilmen meant was that an ordinance would keep the
horses from running at large and prevent such accidents but thi decision
not to enfutce the law nullities it for the time being. This is meant in no
carping spirit but merely as an example of the queer things that might be
propounded by any of us if we do not give ourselves time to think.
The death of Pegoud. the man who invented the loop the loop in the
air. ami the dropping of a wreath by a German ariman in his honor is one
of those events which shows us how war brings out the best that is in us.
When Pegoud gave his life for France he gave a life that was lull of honors
and fame and when the German dropped the wreath he showed the real
soldierly sentiment. Neither of those men were moved by the sordid senti
ment of the n.ere money getter although the men who caused the war and
sent Pegoud to death might have been.
Some German sympathizers in the United States are asking that two
born British subjects who are members of the Washington cabinet be remov
ed from other because of supposed prejudices that might come down to them
from the fact that the Union Jack floated over their cradles. These two men
are Secretary of tf;e Interior Lane and Secretary of Labor Wilson. Now, it
must be said that the very people who make this request are energetic in
declaring that thc\ themselves are for America as against Grmany and there
is no reason at a 1 to believe that Lane and Wilson are not just as true to the
land of their adoption. People in Alaska, at least, know that Lane must be too
big a man to let any considerations of birthplace interfere with the discharge
of his duty first of all to the country of whose government he is a part.
