time grieving", said Joe Hill before in so many words, organize. That was fine legacy to leave his class. And it is the same lesson that we learn from the longshoremen lay ing off for an hour all along the coast to honor the man who died fighting labor's historic battle. The good work that Olson helped along vii live after him. It is living right now in the hearts of the workers, and the method chosen to honor his memory is far more potent and fate full than the temporary cessation of trains while Hill was being consign- ed to his tomb.

WHY NOT?

When Jim Hill kicked tho bucket or in other words passed over tha Great Divide, the Hill roads during the time of his interment ordered every train stopped for a few minutes.
 We all know that would not re- surrcct the railroad king. We ali know that not all the wizardry of the wealth which he possessed could put one small shadowy vital spark back into the lifeless frame that had passed into the state of death.
 It was an effort to show the peo- pie what a great man Hill had been for pomp and ceremony have been used of old to show the masses the power and glory of him who had passed away, and thus in a measure to counteract the dangerously euualizing the iconoclasm of death which defies human power.
 Yesterday the lOngshoremen stopped work in honor of the me- mory of Thomas Olson shot by blackguardly strikebreakers in San Francisco. And to our thinking in no manner could that life have been more fitly honored than in the pow erful illustration of the solidarity of unionism. The effort is not to show the grandeur and the power and the control of the dead man, so that alter he has been .a'd away a memory of greatness might st:li finger with obsessing force in the minds of underlings, but rather to show the workers the real principles of solidarity and brotherhood that should exist among the working classes for their own interest
 That's how the workers can honor fittingly themselves and their de parted fellow unionists. Don't waste

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Now that the city of Nome has started on the high road to num- cipal ownership, a few joy bells maybe would be in order were k rot for the fact that most of the Aldermen are in that interesting and excited state that they don't know where they are going, but they are on the way.
 A lot has been purchased for a pumping plant. The cost is one thousand dollars. Then comes the matter of clearing the lot; erecting building, installing pumping ap- paratus, providing water supply and the thing is done. It seems as easy as falling off a log or a sky scraper in a n:ght-mare. But which of the aldermen las put forward figures in detail showing the cost of this procedure step by step? Which of the aldermen has come forward with specific plans, with definite estimates of cost, with accurate sur- vey of the entire scheme in detail, showing that the city gains and does not lose on the plant to be develop ed by the municipality?
 Not single one of them. Buy ing a pig in a poke is an open transaction compared to the business methods of the aldermen in this

connection.
 The pumping plant may result in saving the city considerable sum. It may be one of the wisest steps ever taken by the city coun- cil. It may be all that and a whole lot more But one thing only is certain and that is that not a single one of the council know whether il will or not, or if they do and have the facts to show it, they have never taken the public or their coll eagues into their confidence.

THE MEXICAN TANGLE.


 Developments in Mexico provide another of those very dangerous objects lessons so prolifically impart- ed for the past three years, that the supreme confidence of the world IS not in the might of right, but the right of might and that in the last analysis force and violence is the sole solution for international pro- blems.
 Into Mexico, for the past fivo years, the United States munitionists have been pouring arms and ammo- hilton. Into Mexico for the past score years have been going repre- sentatives of American capitalists acquiring concessions, buying up oil, coal, railroad, land and mining rights from the men who controlled Mexico.
 All of this has been so much fuel to the flames that were burning. now controlled, now beyond control. in that southern republic.
 And when is harvested that WhlCf is sown, we find that the only nope for the future is force-armies and rifles and cannon.
 But suppose, just for a minute, that the United States were really productive of supermen with . oe- lief in right and righteousness, and they had not sent their avaricious ones into Mexico, had not furnished them with arms and munitions of war, fomented civil strife and grab bed the national resources, but in- them a better and higher order of things; lad provided schools where had been furnished tIainload.; of uInitions; libraries where they sought land concessions; had dis played not avarice or corrupting tendencies nor had outdone the Mexican grandees in their cxecrable treatment of their peons-in fine ii in all their intercourse with the Mexicans they had put in practice the principles of right and righte- ousncss, does any person think that the harvest of doubt and unccrtan- ty would be what it is today for either American or Mexican?
 Of course the United States caG conquer Mexico. Of course force can subdue that people. But as Cav our said, you can GO anything with 'bayonets but sit upon them. And while the world has gone mad in it's wild resort to force and violence, certain it is thet bayonets will not provide society with a stable order of things. That's the fGllacy of mi litarism; it's the fallGcy of reliance upon might. It is the mistake in the whole theory of greet armies and great navies preponderating as to strength and permanent power against rights.
 We still live lost in the miasma of brute force. The mists of con- fidence in might still deceive us. But as yesterday, so today. it is true as truth itself, what was long ago written: whose livcth by the sword shall perish by the sword". The whole story of humanity is story with that moral. No lesson Is so emphasized throughout tho entire processps of history. It involves every nation that is or will be, which placed it's trust not in right and truth and justice, but in the force of greater might
