THE INSECURITY OF FEME
With the retirement <>f Woodrow Wilson from the presidency hist
week, there passed from pulHic life the man who. more than any other, held
the center of the world's stage during the cataclysmic upheaval of the World
War and who .it one time seemed to have become literally the arbiter of the
world and *.o hold in his !.,.nd the shaping of its future. Vet. great as was the
tight t‘> which lie rose as the spokeMintan of tlic American nation and the
aixistb of lofty humanitarian ism during that periixl. by one of those singular
turns of fate which sometimes reduce mortal greatness to unknown obscurity,
Jiis passage beyond the horizon of our political life wins .accompanied by no
visible evidence of cither past or present, greatness. Indeed, if one may
judge from the press reports, his niruiment into private life was marked by an
attitude almost repellantly . old on the-part of those* surrounding him and wa»,
furthermore, totally devoid **f any expression of regard by the people whom he
b,.s served for eight long years as the nations chief excutive. Contrasted
\ ith the superlative‘place attained by him in the estimation of humanity dur
ing ‘he strident days of war. there was something truly pathetic in his almost
obscure passage from the stage of public, events.
Never in history has a human being arose to more exalted place tn the
minds of himmunity than Woodrow Wilson. The doctrine of humanitarianisni
and the right of small peoples, upon the lwtsiis of which he led the moral forties
anil physical powers of America in her mighty crusade against autocracy, in
vested him with an unprecedented influence over the minds and hearts of
men. His messages, breathing a new order of world justice and human
brotherhood, touched the heart core of the war distraught peoples of all land's
and lifted him to a pinnacle of regard never before ac.hieved^by mortal man.
To countless millions he was the embodiment of n divine altrusm holding forth
to humanity a promise of world regeneration. 'On the eve of his departure
for the peace conference he appeared the Messiah of a new gospel of righteous
ness hud a new order of world affairs in which the red Moloch of war was to
I..- bound in chains of international justice and mortal virtue hold dominion
over night Not even N*apolean at Jena held as great a mastery over the
future of men -nd nations as Wilson seeaned to hold ere he was, as the world
now knows, enmeshed in the net of old world diplomacy and had his idealistic
theories torn t<> tatters by a cynical and unsympathetic Cbimence.au. insistently
dem.yiiling the Mosaic atonement of an eye for an eye. a C.eorge to whom
'Wilsonian idealism represented an unprecedented opportunity to solidify his
politieal prestige at home and at the sarnie time add to British glory and aggran
•lizement under the cloak of benign huiruuiitarianiHm.
Blinded by the belief that the. adulation accorded him meant certain
requiesence in his scheme of world democracy and deluded by the sophistries
of those who sought in the dohri>s of wa.r no other rewards than material gains,
it were scarcely a matter for wonder tha* he returned baffled and disillusioned.
How far he fell in the world’s regard during the- short interval between
M* arrival in Europe with the world at his fact and the close of the peace con
ference only time can tell. The events of those stirring days are still to close
to properly appraise their fruits. The fact tha* his own people were in
:i failure at present the world may one day regard :hijn as the greatest eman
cipator of all time. Should the league of Nations attain in the future even
fair approximation of the physical or amoral force envisioned by its promulga
cluded among the great masses who had swii in him the apostle of a new era
of human affairs, but were later forced into disillusionment by the almost com
plete failure of his idealistic principles is not an accurate index by which we
may guage either the value of his efforts or the extent of his failure.
The question.of Wilson's success or failure rests not on human esti
mates hut upon the outworking of the ideas ihe gave to the world Although
his efforts in behalf of universal peace and world democracy are seemingly
a failure at present the world may one day regard him as the greatest fiinn
d pa tor of all time. Should the League of Nations attain in the future ever
fair approximation of thep hysical or moral force envisioned by i‘s promulga
tor. no name in history will be the object of deeper regard and veneration by
future generations.
Should this by no means improbable eventuality develop they of the
future may find food for caustic comment on the cold, almost disdainful at
titude of his countrymen in the closing hours of his administration and their
wad disregard of the fact that he was a truly great American in spite of all
shortcomings.

ALASKAN AFFAIRS
(From Ketchikan Chronicle)
S>metim*»s tlv* people of Alaska
would seem justified in saying with
Artemus Waiid. "We are gowrned 2
mutch.” The territory has never suf_
fared from any dearth of federal reg
ulations from the days of “Seward's
Folly" down to our own time. There
is a happy medium between the con
temptuous neglect of sixty yearrs ago
md the excessive bureaucratic pater
nalism of the prepent. It is not more
red tape that is wanted "where the
darkened fifties dtp to the north.” Tt
is a rational scientific management
which avoids overlapping jurisdiction
ttul allows of the proper use of capital
in pnonnoting industry, while curbing
the activities of the profiteer.
In the fifteen years from 190:? *o 1918
the value of Alaska's exi>orils grow
from twelve to twenty-five million
dollars. The natural resources except
for gohl. are sttill fur the most pair*, in
the pioneer stage of development. Al
n-ska is to be incalculably more volu
itible in the future.
Charles F. Curry, chairman of the
House comm ittda which has *o deal
with Alat-ikiu Is right in his insistence
on the enoitmious impoi Umcc of a ra
tional scheme fdn dealing with such
vast and multiplied interests as Alaska
liep resents.
STICK WITH ALASKA
(From Juneau Empire)
"Dr. Shame's advise to Alaskans to
stay with the country and for those
who have positions or Jobs in Alaska to
hang on to thdini is wise. The indi
cations a no that conditions will be
more or leas eirratio for the next few
years In the Nation, and that nothing
will be so sure as that wfhHch one has
in Iris hands. Th^ Indications also
are that AJajska will fare better, par
ticularly in the immediate future, than
any other section of the country.. A
■tiighteriing up of conditions, a lower,
ing of waxes and a. weeding out of the
less efficient workingmen, the launch
ing of fewer new enterprises will
characterize the immediate future
everywhere. That means uncertainty
for the nuin who does not have an es
tablished <hus*lness or a job.
The man who has a surg thine for
a living In Alaska and an opportunity
to save money is at least safe. He will
be in position to withstand the storms
no matter from What direction they
imay come. And. not only that, he
will be on the ground Where the great
est development In the nearby future
is most likely to occur.
There is no country in the world
where conditions for th._ man with a
position*or job are better than in Al
aska. Alaska has not the class dis
tinctions that are found in othe-- see.
tions. Here a "man’s a man for a
that." The work-rgman of one yeai
is the business man or the man of in
dustrial control the next. The mar
who sticks with Alaska is playing afc
toluiely .safe, and his chances for win
I nlng larger victories in material mat
ters are fetter than they are else
The best advice any one can give

more, and when I had used one cake
of Cuticura Soap and one box of Con

was completely healed." (Signed)
