S IT A WAR DISEASE
"The Ml** ;iml vicious hastened to enlist under the banners <*f those
who dent;in*U*d higher wages, and riotous demonstrations and by arts of
Village and wanton destruction, brought discredit upon honest labor.
"The eonimtiniMls. largely recruited of late from Kurop*. also availed
themselves of the opportunity V- swell rhe excitement and in threatening
language to promulgate their theories of liberty and equality.”
One might suppose the above was cither taken from the columns of a
current neww organ dealing with the situation In the Vnited States today oi
ls a piece of speculative writing purporting to be the view that some future
historinntpvill take of this day and age.
Nothing of the sort, reader. The two paragraphs quoted'are a pro
duct f.r 4fi years ago. They arc* to b.* found in Col. Emmons Clark's "History
of the* Seventh Regiment,” one of the famous fighting regiments of tty* Civil
War. The* work was published in 1880 and describes conditions existing
In the country after the Rebellion.
Those who believe our present crop c.f Reds are the first who ever
threatened turmoils and discord in Arnrlea, will, after reading the- "quoted
paragraphs, find grounds to revise tic or idea that the presence and activities
of this element portend some featful calamity to the nation.
They disclose clearly that the same character of elements were it
work here during the reconstruction period fifty years ago, attempting the
same things lh*ir modern followers re attempting, and voicing in varying
form the same sentiments and theories asaic* today causing so rnut c conie li.
History Is again repeating ltec-lf and w*» doubt not that the; sequel to
today's radical manifestation!* will »>• ■ the same as that *f the earlier on -s
mentioned by Col, Clark. They disappeared without d sturbbrr in the slight
est degree the* isditical or social structure of the nation. If they left any
scar upon the body politic. It is not discernible in the pages of intermediate
history. *
With the return of norma! conditions following the mighty conflict
between North and South, the nation speedily forgot the pernicious doctrines
which doubtless disturbed our patriotic sire's no less than those of th • modern*;
adherents of discontent disturb ourselves.
Such manifestations are to nil appearences a concomitant of Wa. • j
a disease which manifests its greatest malignity when strife and discord |
has distorted the normal view of human minds4und which disappears when
peace hus restored human thought to its normal trend.
PUBLICITY
(From Alaska Dally Capital)
It has been said that publicity is t<» a business or community a* elec
tricity Is to a city—its light and pow-r.
Alaskan development Is In need of publicity, publicity that is founded
upon the truth and with the healthy, steady upbuilding of the country’s
population and Industries as It’s goal.
There is a complete lack of understanding of Alaska throughout, the
country. The American people know little of the natural resource*, and
opportunities for the. creation of new Industries. In Alaska. Their Idea
• oncoming the climate has been formed from their study of geography and
Is associated with dog teams, polar hear and Eskimo. Since that time
their Information lias been received from reading Rex Reach and the Spell
of the Yukon.
This is one of the many functions of a centralized chamlter of com^
merer, the education of the people bf the United States Jn Alaskan opportunity.
Nothing short of a well planned and well organized campaign will
meet with success. The spasmodic flashes of publicity from certain lo
calities of Alaska, having in their Intent the boom of some Industry or town
cannot but fall In the future as they have in the past. Nothing short of a
long protracted campaign of enlightenment will become (successful.
Alaska should strive to establish a slogan such as cqjned by Horace
Orceley. only changed to meet the situation, CIO TO ALASKA. YOUNG MAN.
THE 0EMP8EY CASE
Without knowing I'resident Wilson’s reasons for commuting the sen
tence of Murderer Dempsey, the announcement of the executive’s action comes
somewhat in the manner of a shock. We are probably more familiar with
the case than I'residenl Wilson can possibly be. and we do not know pf any
extenuating circumstances. They were not made known during the trial
of the archfiend. There Was absolutely no defense, either in the killing of
the Anchorage woman who was murdered In cold blood for tfhe money she
was supposed to have, or In the murder of the deputy marshal at Seward
afterwards, who was shot down In a most cowardly faith ion.
Dempsey is said to have influential friends, which imay account for
Ids escape from the gallows. Rut If Amt Is the only excuse the President
has for commuting the sentence, It is worse than no excuse nt all. Or It
may be that Dempsey’s youth hn«l something to do with it. He to A young
man. less than twenty, but possesses a veteran criminal's disregard of law
and order. Life Imprisonment, in such a case ns his, is, in our oplnkm, a
travesty on Justice and an imposition upon those who will <hsve to bear the
• ost of supporting him in prison.
The President may l»e right, or may think he did right In aivlng the
life of a man who thought nothing of taking the lives of others. But
Alaskans will (have to be shown. The interference is on a per with some of
the rules manufactured at Washington for the regulation of Alaakan affairs,
made by men who do not understand conditions in Alaska and who do not
think Alaskans-capable of handling their own affairs.—Nenana News.
COSTLY DIET
If you feel that you would enjoy a real rich diet, chow on the comer
of your newspaper. Measured on the basis of increased costs, the |chew
would be costlier than anything your diet includes.
The pulp from which the paper was made ha* increased In cost €11
percent, chiefly during the pant five years. Few other things you chew
upon have advanced more than half the same amount.

QUICK TO FORGET A V O IV S
The tilmble wilted cartoonist has a new and prolific theme in I'ncle
Sam's recent popularity abroad when he was shoveling out money to help
the nations through the war, and the contumely which he now encounters,
when he refuses to advance further cash and is expecting to be paid back
some of that already advanced. /
Nations appear to be a good deal like individuals in such a situation.

Division has expanded tremendously
and the -business Interests of the ter
ritory demand .that the capitol be
placed rib*rcr the center of Alaska.
Seward would be the logical place for
It, as it Is at the terminal of the gov
