THE SpASM'S HARMFUL WORK

AS if to CounteraCt the efforts be
ing made by the people of Fairbanks
to get the postoffice department to
give us better mail service. the
evening Spasm last Monday pub
lshed a misleading story to the eff
feet that the mail service to Fair
banks from the coast is all that
could be desired.
When the increased mail service
from the coast was first announced,
the people here We're led to believe
that the mail accumulated at Cor
dova would soon be brought here.
but large part of the mail brought
small postoffices, and as result
but little except first class has been
received here Christmas packages
hat everyone is expecting to come
from the Outside have failed to
make their appearance. in spite of
the fact that some of them We're
mailed nearly seven weeks ago.
How ridiculous is it then for the
Spasm to assert as it did last Mon
day afternoon that by Christmas
day the entire mail shipments that
are routed here will have been de
livered, and no mail except what
arrives in the meantime will re-
main on the coast"
It is further asserted by the Spasm
that only three mails arrive by
steamer each month. If this We're
true it would be certain that the
first class mail is held at Cordova
between stages. for certainly first
class mail arrives here more fire.
Cuently than three times a month.
But the inference in the Spasm that
the mail is received in Cordova only
three times a month. and the first
class shipped here in installments,
is wrong, for more than one line
of steamers brings mail to Cordova
for Fairbanks.
In the light of the facts as they
We're at the time the Spasm printed
its story, it is evident that that
newspaper is getting if possible,
more and more irresponsible. The
Spasm editor knew at the time he
printed the story, that very little
second class mail is being received
here, and he knows further, that
complaints are going to Washing
ton about it. He knows that the
Commercial club is doing everything
in it's power to get more mail shipped
here, but in the light Of these facts
he is working against the peoples
best interests and is trying to thwart
their efforts for improvement.

PATRIOTISM.

In Fairbanks. as in other parts
of the United States, there are citi-
zens of Europe, whose native coun-
tries are now at war. They are
in trying positions, for undoubtedly
there must come times when their
patriotism for their own country
tries to overmaster the feeling Of re-
sentiment against this useless
slaughter of humanity beyond the
Atlantic
We Americans who are free from
monarchical rule naturally have lit
tie patience with the struggle be-
tween the countries now at war
and thus we cannot look upon the
fighting like one whose birth and
early training binds him more or less
to one of the rulers who is involved
in the war.
Ever since organized society had
its beginning, patriotism has been
fostered until now 1t is one Of the
ruling passions of mankind. No one
can deny that patriotism is one Of
tho noblest sentiments Of the hui
man being. for it primarily means
a love Of home and loyalty to
the people of our own kind. Thus
a man who is moved by real pa
triotism will sacrifice his life for

his home or the rights of his coun-
try.
But to the disinterested person at
least. the war in Europe is not one
that will inspire any idea of pa
triotism II was not promoted be
cause any country was trying to
throw off tyrannical government or
TO aid to upIift suffering humanity
II is simply a war of kings. and a
man has a right to refuse to become
a party to such an unjust slaughter
Of humanity, no matter where he
was born To be called to a cause
less war. simply because the heads
of your government have willed that
a war shall exist is not being call
ed to duty. as il is looked upon by
the disinterested person. at least
The people in the countries now
at war have had their emotions
aroused. They have suddenly found
that the enemy is composed of des-
pissed individuals who should be muir
dered for the good Of civilized hui
manity. In the heat of the excite
ment and while they are being
carried away by their emotions. they
can see but one duty. and that is

directed patriOtism
If these same people could look at
the war at a disinterested distance
and refuse to be biased by radical
utilization. they would probably see
that the man going to the war to
kill people that have done him no
harm and are as good as his own
kind is acting more unwisely than
does his brother WHO being fortu-
nate enough to be on American soil.

deplorable political condition.

HEALTH FOR INDIANS.

John Hawksley, Indian superin-
tendent of the Yukon Territory, is
planning a campaign for the eradica-
ton of tuberculosis from among the
Canadian Indians in his district.
To do this, Mr.. Hawksley thinks
it will be necessary first to teach
the Indians that their disease is be-
ing caused by lack of ventilation
in their cabins and lack of outdoor
exercise.
The same kind of campaign should
be started in Alaska, for unless
something is done to arrest the
work of the dreaded white plague
among the Indians. in a few years
their numbers will be greatly de-
pleted. Mr.. Hawksley's assertion
that it is better to provide means
of preventing the disease among the
Indians than to center all efforts in
the matter of curing it is logical.
tuberculosis is the result of too
much civilization. 1t is known as the
white plague" because it originated
with the highly civilized white peo-
pie, and primarily was but little
known among the people who spend
their lives out of doors. 1t will be
noticed now that the disease is not
common among the Indians who
have not followed the idea of white
men by living in cabins in which
ventilation is not automatic.
Mr. Hawksley's idea of how to
treat tuberculosis among the Indians
is outlined by him in recent issue
Of the Dawson News. In this re-
gard he is quoted in part as fol-
lows:
What I am aiming at is the
cause of the disease. This will have
to be combatted by improved con-
ditions of life for the natives. Be-
fore the advent Of the whites the
Indians did not know what a cabin
or a building of any kind was. They
lived in skin huts or tepees which
admitted sufficient of the fresh ozone
to insure health at all times. But
the Indians now ape the whites, and
get into cabins.
at is not the Indians nature to
work too much, so the majority Of
them. unless schooled, keep the win
dows and doors tight and have no
ventilators in their places Of abode.
am undertaking to teach them the
necessity of having ventilators and
of always keeping them open.
