HIGH COST OF FREIGHT
IN ALASKAN TERRITORY

If a miner at Fairbanks orders a
boiler shipped 70 him by the South
eastern route it comes by steamer
1000 miles from Puget Sound up the
island passage to Skagway. There 1t
is transhipped to the narrow-gauge
White Pass and Yukon railroad, which
climbs nearly 5000 feet up White pass
crosses the divide and winds down on
the other side ITO miles to White
Horse on the upper Yukon. There
the boiler is handled again, this time
being loaded on little Canadian
river steamer, which carries it 460
miles to Dawson Once morS there is
unloading and lnlding; and the boiler
is stored away on an American river
steamer that makes the last loco
miles of the trip to Fairbanks.
But this route is so very expensive
that most of the freight goes by the
Northwestern route-2700 miles by
steamer around the Aleutian islands
to ST. Michael.
Such is the cheapest freight service
to the metropolis of Central Alaska,
and the merchant who uses this SER
vice has to buy years supply at a
time and pay interest and storage on
it. The freight rate on the necessi-
ties of life, which amounts to about
$1S5 year for every man, woman
and child in the interior, is what
keeps down the population World

LONDON.-It is not generally known
that there is race at the moment
between the English and German ship
ping companies as to who viii be the
first to possess vessel of 1000 feet
and in shipping circles much specula-
ton exists as to who will prove vic

During the last decade the size Of
the Atlantic liners has increased rap
idly in length, and the 900-foot mark
has been passed. Indeed, the German
Imperafor, which has made several
round trips between Europe and New
York during the past season. was the
first vessel to exceed length Of 900

OUR WAY AND cANADA's

During the year 1913 there entered
the United States 3S7,495 alien men
who had been either farmers or farm
laborers in the old world, according
TO writer In the Country Gentleman.
Only two per cent of these men went
10 work on farms here. The rest
crowd into our already oyercrowded
cities.
They did not go on farms where
labor is greatly needed and where
wages. on the whole. average up. as
good as in industry, because the posi-
bilities in agriculture have been
crowded cut OF their vision. The gov
ernmtnt does not take the initiative in
telling the immigration about the OPP
portunities on land. The aliens ad-
visers in the industrial centers, the
foreign bankers. labor agents. saloon
keepers, on the other hand, distinctly
encourage the alien to stay in the
cities where he is source Of revenue
to them.
Different from the attitude of the
United States toward the aliens is that
of Canada. Canada selects its immi-
grants. The Canadian Government has
agents abroad for that purpose. 1t re-

The Alpha rays of radium are stop

the Beta rays cannot go through a

the Gamma rays viii penetrate

SOCIALISM AND ETHICS.

Pity for poverty enthusiasm for
equality and freedom, recognition of So
cial injustice and a desire to remove
il, is not Socialism. Condemnation Of
wealth and respect for poverty, such
as we find in Christianity and other
religions, is not Socialism. The COM
munism of early times. as it was be-
fore the existence of private property,
and as it has at all times and among
all people been the elusive dream of
some enthusiasts, is not Socialism.
In all these appearances there is
lacking the real foundation of capital
list society with it's class antagonisms.
Modern Socialism is the child of capt.
talist society and its class antagonism.
Without these it could not be. Social
ism and ethics are two separate things.
This fact must be kept in mind

EVENING HERALD TAKES A
SLAM AT CAPITALISM.
Thinks System Destroys Incentive to
Higher Forms of Art and
Literature.
Profit System Destroys Taste for the
Things Worth While.

II is not often that the editor of this
paper can agree with the Evening Her
aid In the issue of August 10, the
Herald contains leading editorial
which expresses very we'll one of the
counts made by Socialists against cap
italist society. namely, that it destroys
all incentive to things fine and noble,
and fosters the hanal, vulgar and sa-
lacious.
We had not thought that the Her
AIDS editor agreed with the Socialists
on this point We quote below the
editorial in question;
"The Century magazine, it is an
nounced. has been Improbable for a
number of years and now that publi-
cation is involved in litigation, and in
dispute between stockholders and its
sale has been negotiated. 1t is stated
that the magazine not only has paid
no dividends for several years, but has
actually lost almost one hundred thou
sand dollars in less than three years.
The sale of the magazine, if consum-
mated, of course will not mean its dis
continuance; but it will mean change
in management and tradition.
"The Century long has been the
standard literary" magazine of Amer
lea. It has represented the highest in
current literature and art 1t has fos.
tered many of our geniuses of the pen,
of the brush and the graver's tool. 1t
is pity that, with it's high ideals, it
cannot live.
But the Century made some grfev-
Gus mistakes. 1t made the mistake of
refraining from muckracking. 1t didn't
assail those in high places. 1t didn't
preach widespread corruption. 1t
didn't realize there was money in tell
ing the people how rotten the world is.
"And then it has failed to print the
proper kind of stories. The writer's of
its fiction haven't gone into the under
world for their heroines; they have
kept clear of the borderland between
questionable decency and gross indec-
ency. The estimable Century failed to
learn the lesson of the circulation
bigger-than-ever' magazines and now it
must pay the penalty for its lack of
enterprise and its decency. Perhaps
the literary taste of America also will
suffer"

A WARNING AGAINST BLOOD
SHED.

(By Anna Sholberg Haugen)
The Reds" viii not carry guns today,
The time is not yet ripe.
Mother Jones, please wait with this
advice
Until It is time for strife.
There's n time to act,
And a time to wait silent
Evolution takes time,
But when the time is ripe,
With might wen fight
In every land and cline.
A people too highly civilized are we
to stir up war
We will not take our neighbor's blood,
Let that from us be far.
Our enemies have turned their guns
on us,
We turn the ballot on them.
Revolutionists, surely we are not for
fun,
But wen fight with ballot and not
with gun.
The workers brain is weary and dull
With the toll of thousand years,
Too long they have shaved,
Too long they have fought,
But not long enough been taught
The science that teaches in a peace
full way
The tools of production to take.
A lot of ignorant men with gun in
hand
Behind them would leave a bloody
wake.
Like flowers we all would be cut
down;
With victims our streets would be
filled,
Your friends and loved ones
There we would find numbered among
those killed,
Sans militia and navy extinguished
we would be,
And no Socialistic advance on earth
you would see
For ages this earth has been stepped
in blood
BY brutes while in search of food.
If your souls have expanded, then
know for Gods sake"
You life cannot give
And you life shall not take
Wen not learn from brutes to murder
down men,
But the tools of production We'll take
If we can.
The Washington socialist. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1914-1915, 1914-08-27

instead of them, ! conceive, compre-
bend, or | imagine, thing to be so or
not so; or it so appears to me at pres
emit. When another asserted something
that | thought an error, | denied my
self the pleasure of contradicting him
abruptly and of showing Immediately
some absurdity in his proposition; and
in answering l began by observing
that in certain cases or circumstances
his opinion would be right, but in the
present case there appeared or seemed
to me some difference, etc. | soon
found the advantage of this change in
my manners; the conversations | en-
gagged in went in more pleasantly. The
modest way in which | proposed my
opinions procured them a reader re-
ception and less contradiction; | had
! less modification when / was found to
be in the wrong; and l more easily
prevailed with others to give up their
mistakes and join with me when l
happened to be in the right.
And this mode, which | at first put
on with some violence to natural in
clination, became at length easy and
so habitual to me that perhaps for the
last fifty years no one has ever heard
dogmatical expression escape me.
And to this habit (after my character
Of integrity I think it principally
owing that had early so much weight
with my fellow citizens when I pro-
posed new institutions or alterations in
the old; and so much influence in pub
lie councils when / became a member;
for I was but a bad speaker, never
eloquent subject to much hesitation in
my choice of words, hardly correct in
language, and yet ! generally carried
my point.
In reality there is, pehaps, no one of
our natural passions so hard to sub
due as pride. Disguise it, struggle
with it, stifle it, mortify it as much as
one pleases, it is still alive and will
every now and then peep out and show
itself; you will see it, perhaps, often
in this history. For even if could
conceive that I had completely over
come it, ] should probably be proud of
my humility.
The above contains a lesson well
worth learning. The entire book is
extremely interesting, but unfortunate
ly Franklin closes with the year 1871
1t would have been an extremely yalu
able contribution to his posterity if
Franklin had carried out his autobi-
ography to cover the period Of the
revolution and constitutional conven-
ton.
