SEWARD, ALASKA, MOND VY, PEBRl-ARY I t, 1916.
A certain well known gentleman who is a popular business man on
Fourth Avenue committed himself to the statement some days ago that the
people of a town could be kept together and that all differences of political,
social and other natures could be avoided. And he said this notwithstanding
the example which the rebellion and fall of Lucifer furnishes.
This story of Lucifer is one which tests human credulity to the limit.
It is one of those stories of the other world which cause the unthinking to
immediately spurn all teachings which do not agree with our human con
ception of what things beyond us art* ami ought to be, but it is one of those
stories which were probably not meant to be literally accepted by the finite
mind but to serve as an example which might guide us.
In every town there is at least one Lucifer. In every little body and
organization there is one individual who cannot tolerate the presence of one
above him and who does not possess the blessed humility of spirit which
would enable him to accept sccimti place even when it would mean tranquility
and the success of the organization or community. A Lucifer is as much
an inevitable part of a political or social human body as the appendix is an
inevitable part of the body of a man. ahd he is equally a useless pest. We
cannot understand why we have boon afflicted with an appendix and we
cannot understand why we have been afflicted with its human prototype,
lut there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our
philosophy.”
There was only one way by which the Creator could have avoided actual
hostilities in heaven when the legion of Lucifer sent their ultimatum, and
that was by abdicating in favor of the arch-malcontent. In speaking of
matters like this there is always a danger of becoming irreverent, a tempta
tion to be humorous by speaking frivolously of things millions of miles be
yond us. but the thought occurs that if the King of Heaven had surrendered
to Lucifer on the threat of the latter we, judging within our human limita
tions. should have lost respect for the deposed Monarch.
It is the policy of the Little Lucifers here below to rule or ruin. To be
constantly in the limelight is their devouring ambition and to have absolute
peace is to get out of the way when they so order.
Go into a thousand towns and you will find at least a thousand Lucifers
with ten thousand of the lesser Lights to act as the lesser fallen angels acted
when they followed the great Lucifer to perdition. To come down from the
clouds, there is no town and no organization which has not some conceited
person who is fully convinced that he should be the leader in all things, and

the only possible way peace can be secured is to step aside and acknowledge
the inferiority of yourself and everyone else to this self-styled genius.
Peace in heaven was found impossible and what can we except on this
poor old earth?

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack
ass and a clown because he hired a
ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question
whether he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that he is willing to
try! It was by trying that he got
where he is. But still he keeps on
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that ever fell to the lpt of a
human being in the world's history.
He brushes aside the thousands of
columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
ward the most glorious goal that any
man ever hoped to achieve—and goes
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who
has taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. True it may not be the
right step, you get that by trying.
The men who sit in sw’ivel chairs and
sneer and make funny jokes about
that man Ford are not taking steps of
any kind to end the war. The job
looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
be it looks hopeless to him. But he's
got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would be, if each
industry could be headed by a Ford
who was willing to try, what chance
would any other nation under the sun
have with us. What if more of us
were willing to try and less of us
were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a w’ord
in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
the Engineers that direct it, awaken
to the fact that Sew*ard is the Begin
ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads,
in Alaska. In the meantime, we have
plenty time and help to serve you.
