Franklin K. Lane in his annual report again urges the commission form of government Che calls it a commission to establish co-ordinated control of Alaska affairs). He ob- iects to local control of the resour- ces of Alaska. He says it would be too hazardous.
 Unquestionably that is so. There is no telling what sort of legisla- ture might be elected and to what lengths it might not proceed. l! Alaskans have confidence in theil own ability to govern themselves il is clear that officials at Washing or and Congress have not.
 It is very peculiar that every writer dwells at length upon the Ill telligence ability, resoSrcefulnes' and practical nature of Ala5hans No Alaskan speaker addressing A.! askans would think for moment of giving an address without refer ring in an ornate manner to the very great happiness it gave him tt

suggestive and sinister in it's sug- enough a state of national distrust and national lack of confidence in present day institutions.
 The other day Taft speaking ol larger army said that it would prove as valuable in suppressing revolts at home as in keeping the country free | from foreign interference. Taft always was candid; and the manner in which the army is to be handle1 is not along such broadly democra ic lines as in Switzerland but along the lines of Prussian Junkerdom.
 Surely if any large section of the population find present day condl. tions become intolerable to such a degree that they are driven to re, volt, it is far more in keeping with the spirit of America that these in- tolorable conditions be removed anG the confidence of the entire people restored in the national destiny than that it should be suggeted tha: whether intolerable or not, any re- volt against them be suppresseds This is from a famous instrument whish was suppressed in the Phil lipines as an incendiary document some year ago during the early days of occupation: ... all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CreCtor with cer- tain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pur- suit of Happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instl- tuted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes de, structive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abol- ish it..
 | If a train of known abuses have compelled the plutocrats to fear tC install the Swiss system in this coun- try, if a powerful army Is urged by the spokesmen of the privileged classes as necessary to suppress re. volt against conditions, is it not wiser and more prudent from every point of view to abolish such condi. tions that no such fear may prevai against the institution of a systeEl gives every man arms and ammun; tion to defend it, than to sugges, that large army is needed to sup press the instinct to revolt agains train of abuses and usurpation: that make the lot of those who art oppressed intolerable.

Accidents do happen, and it is Ottowa Parliament building is one of those things which are the rccult of definite unexpected causes ana which people with quite respectable precedent have agreed to call an Act of God. It is touching pcculi- arity of faith than when any moro fcrocious and unpleasant visitation occurs upon poor human beings, they immediately show thoir elevat- cd conception of divine morcy and goodness by ascribing 1t to tho ac tivity of the Creator.
 That is of course vixen normal social conditions prevail. Now and then when the labor world is parti- cularly agitated, occurrences which are accidents were blamed upon tho labor unions, and it is only reasonable to expect failing an ability to explain 2n occurrence these days of war and stress, there there should be those who blame the German bor bists.
 Now it's just because Of a ia miliarity with tho fact that labor is charged in the past with cll kinds of dire and dreadful acts when there wasn't the remotest reason for it except an infiamod opinion fomented to that end abroad the land, and the public fed upon a subserviant prcss was rc2dy to be- licve anything cbCut laDoritcs, that one i5 inclined to believe less ih the responsibility of the German bombists for every accident that happens. Not that We believe the Gsrmanists have done no cuch thinS at any time, but that press has aarofully cultivated the belief that they did fer more than they hao anything to do with.

The experimentation or stuff that is contained in dispatches purport. ing to be war news has excited hu. morists on two continents to deal with it's wild discrepancies. Noi only that but it has been shown for example that the Hearst papers made their own war dope right in their offices and gave them the stamp of official information from the front or from the various war departments
 May be that is no worse than the accounts came out under the sign manual of genuine war correspond ents who saw just enough of the war to stimulate, an imagination naturally active and trained to en- large minuter facts.
 But there is quite anothcr factor in these discrepanat telegrams. They are invented ofton enough because they reflect viewpoint which ths disseminators of such wholly false dispatches do not wish editorially to circulate, because their readers arc partizan and would reject support asked for publications which would give vent to such views officially In this war, the efforts of the press to offend nobody under any consid- eration are quite amusing. Candid comment on the iniquity of the Zeppelin raids, on the Russian cruelties to the Jews, on the British arbitrary seizures are taboo. yet |they are all wholly evil. Nal
 equally guilty are these nations. bu

Some of those massive brainei editors that adorn Alaskan journal ism have been discussing the qu S tion of publicity and ono of them opines that the editorial publicity given by any newspaper should be a reflection of public opinion. That's old stuff re-hashed and although old it's not the less absurd
 Public opinion has as many sides as a cut diamond, each facet reflect ing certain view point and the poor editor that would cGdgel his brains to follow each various view would find that poor ass would not mend it's pace with beating. Imagine any editor anxious to please, endea- voring to suit all the public's vari- able ideas on the European war. He would suit no one and not even please his own neutral sense.
 What is true of the war is true of every question that deserves pub lie attention, from the pOrk barre, attractions to the village pump, and there is probably no question whereon the heterogeneous mass cal led the public has any such thing as a uniform idea which needs refec- tion in the public press.
 On the other hand many papers run often counter to public opinion using that in the sense of tho ma jority, and the result is condition much more productive of progress and enlightment than those which reflect a certain samencss of view which in itself merely is symptom of intellectual coma.

The opposition to the Swiss de- fense system is so strong that it Is considered impraeticable politics even to attempt. 1t in the United States. The system that gives to each male of military age his gun and ammunition does not appeal particularly to the plutocrat for there is no knowing when tho workers might not take notion to go gunning not against a foreign enemy, but against an industrial and domestic opponent.
 But in the very objection that Is urged against the Swiss system lh this country there is food for thought. There is food. for thought at any time when one section of the country fears to entrust another with, the right ,tq bear armo; 1t -is

speak to an audience composed of men and women of such intelligence and ability, such bravery and for. titude, such resourcefuIness and in dependence. And every Alaskan hearing such an orator feels in duty bound to extend him that be- coming salutation such oratorical bouquets wiring from the susccpf ible heart.
 It has a chastening effect therc- fore to realize that there are man. men, prominent men too, who look askance at the idea of extending io-- cal control over Alaskan resources; who look with distrust upon the very suggestion that Alaskans are better able to mind their own busl- ness, than are others to mind it for them. It has stimulating effect to have to he many men discuss ing Alaska, speak of it as physl- clan might speak of scorpse upon which he is about to make an autop- sy and to hear him suggest the best ways and means of accomplish ing clever, profitable and instruc- tive dissection.
 Secretary Lane has uniformly be- longed to that class sof statesmen who are placed in the category of Alaskan friends and besides he has been the intimate newspaper colle- ague~ in days gone by of Governor Strong. There are few papers speak deprecatingly of this high officialled statesman and for that reason it is properly becoming in Alaskans to listen humbly to the suggestions for commission form of government, and accept the fact that not only are they not the most intelligent 1 and able and practical and resource 1 ful, and daring and brave and ven. turesome people in the world, but they are a people of dunderheads whom it is not proper to trust with, self government and whom it would be exceedingly dangerous to trust with control and disposal of their own resources.
 The Industrial Worker has searched for some more pleasing interpreta- tion of the Secretary's suggestion
 for commission form of govern
 ment for Alaska, but there is none
 will suggest itself otherwise.
 And while 10th to admit thai cabinet officials can err, the mos
 charitable view is that Alaskans arg

The possibility Of the United States being the field this year of the greatest labor struggle ever witnessed is not remote at ell. The probable strike of the railroad workers for the eight hour day and the very likely effort of the coal miners to fight for their wage in- crease demands will throw into di- rect antagonism with capital over a million men. Besides this strike would tie up two of the basic indus tries of the country, and one which would mean a dislocation of Amer ican industry not before conceived of.
 Advices gre received that tho coal miners are considering making their strike for better conditions co-tenl- poraneous with the strike of the railroad men for the eight hour day This would involve all the indus trial centers in condition of in dustrial chaos that no person cal possibly foresee the end of, unless by some governmental action whicf will definitely settle nothing Moreover, these strikes are inde finite. They will dispose of nothins but for the time being, and unti there is a complete re-adjustmen of the industrial situation, such strike as is here pre-figured, grea as 1t would be, would only be { small thing compared to what tho future contains.
