AN ILL ADVISED COURSE.

It can hardly be doubted that in causing the sinking of the Lusitania, the German nation, although acting strictly within the letter of the so- called rules of war, has brought upon itself the censure of the world for the reason, that though il he argued to the contrary from now until doomsdaY, q deliberate attack on the innocent and helpless is not conceded by the world as justified under any conditions writ
 ten or otherwise Had the present case
 been one in which the citizens and pro-
 perty of England, or other of the bel
 ligerent nations. were alone involved, while the world would undoubtedly have shuddered at the enormity of the sacrifice offered to the demands of war. it is doubtful if there would have been

 other than those upon whom the blow
 had fallen or their sympathizers If it were a case of England or France or Russia alone who had thus suffered, the world could not in justice hold that the wholesale destruction of non-com- batants was other than a deplorable circumstance which the citizens of a belligerent nation must unfortunately expect. He who raises the sword to strike must expect 10 feel a counter stroke Had it been English men and women whom Germany attacked hardly a murmur of ccnsurc would arise against the act. Such was her right and none could, in justice, blame her for enforcing it. But to war on the inoffensive citizens of outside nations is to enforce in too literal degree that brutally savage rending of the Mosaic law which reads that the innocent shall suffer with the guilty and also places the matter in an entirely different light. It is we'll enough to say that warning was given and that he who knowingly ventures in the path of danger assumes his own liability. True enough. yet withal, it must be conceded that it betrays. to say the least, most damnable eoldness of heart to delib- erately send nearly two thousand in- nocent men and women to death with out sounding one final note of warn ing. And, it is because of this aspect that the world is heaping scorn upon the head of Germany Not so much because of the act itself but rather because of the all too evident spirit of heartless brutality and utter disregard of the rights of others which lies be- hind. To war on non -combatants is to war on civilization and this, regard less of circumstances or conditions. civilization will not condone. Thus in striking 6 blow at England. Germany

AMERICANS FOR AMERICA.

After half year of war in Europe, the United States as we'll as other neutrals finds it extremely difficult to avoid controversies. Each controversy has the element of danger in it which can be minimized or eliminated by pru- dence. coolness. wisdom. and a desire to be just Each controversy also has the element of danger which can he emphasized and made weightier
 We rely upon our government to be governed by prudence and desire to be just We have reason to rely upon the men in charge, knowing instine- lively that no American administration will convict itself of partsanship in meeting such issues as are now aris- inc
 President Wilson and his advisers are not rror-proof. but in handling the questions of momentous conse- quence which come before them we know that they are guided by wish and intent to have American conduct square with honor and justice.
 What they do is the act of the na- tion and now is the time for Ameri- cans to he for America. wise de- mocracy does not carry partisanship into foreign affairs. It says over again the words of Decatur which stand at the head of the editorial columns It pravs for wisdom and stands united.
 We may hope that several disaster ous consequences apart from parti- cipation in the war, which is unthinlt- able. may not be our inheritance from it. We may hope that time and sober thinking may justify the American course so that no belligerent will em- erge with a conviction that the Ameri- can attitude was hostile
 Americans came out of the war with Spain with the feeling that the German
 intent was not friendly Difficulties which were easily composed had an effect on national sentiment which was bad. We may hope to avoid a conse- quence of this nature at this time We may trust that American policies will be SD founded upon equity and guided by wisdom that there will be no body of hostile opinion in Germany or in any other nation now at war.
 We may also hope that our own lack of unity may not he revealed. Our greatest national disaster would be to have it shown as fact that we are not building a nation but merely a poli- tical and governing organization of dis associated peoples. irreconcilia ble without common traditions. with vary ing ideals and divergent sympathies. Our greatest national disaster would be to discover that we were not fusng the clements which go into the composition of the nation but were preserving each part
 Therefore. the present need is in- sistence upon the thought that Ameri- can citizens are first for America Vel need an ovangelstic patriotism a con- siderate, thoughtful, proud, but not vainelorious patriotism, a patriotism founded upon the ideal of national unity and dignity.
 See America first should take on Q new significance. National con sciousness and national idealism are so importantly parts of the spiritual life of men that disregard of them is fatal
 The present duty of American citizens |, is devotion to the American policy. It

Most of those coming to work in the coal mines will be different from the people who came to Alaska in the past The old timers came just because if was something new to come to-something out of the ordinary rut. They could have made just as good. or better, money on the average somewhere else The probability is that the majority of people who came to Alaska in the early days lost money and spent the best years of their lives without matrial people of money who want to make more, but for the greater part it will be composed of crowds to whom the word money means something like two dollars a day.
