THE WRATH INCURRED

Carlton Fitchett, the late-editor of
the Citizen, has broken his pick with
the Citizen management and is to-
day all those things which he wasn't
a few days ago. He travelled out over
the Valdez trail under good trail con-
ditions and told of the trail as he
finds 1t now, and not as it was in the
dark, damp days. That Fitchett's
ideas should change under conviction
might be admissible to the Citizen
that there can be anything right about
the trail is unbelievable to the Citi-
zen. Hence, Fitchett gets Ibis" this
morning and the Citizen goes further
and personally attacks Gen. Richard
son. -
There is nothing to be gained by
trying to debate a question with a
paper which will not listen to rea-
son or consider logic. To a person
of average fairness it is apparent that
when three heavily laden autos
can make the trip over the trail to
Chitina in two days and half, moth
ing much can be the matter with the
trail. All summer autos have been
travelling the trail and making good
time, and no auto has taken the time
the Citizen autodid to make the trip
and no driver has condemned the trail
as the Citizen driver did. Yet, to the
Citizen. it alone is right and all otn-
ers are wrong and from Interior rea-
sions.
There's no use trying to argue with
such opponents.-News- Miner.

THE Anchorage Times INDUCES in
it's post prandial wall over the fact
that court is held in Valdez again
this year, and in bombastic tones an
nounces that Anchorage is getting
very, very impatient over the raw
deal it is getting in court matters.
Notwithstanding which threat the fed
eral government is doing business at
the old stand. To hold a term of
court at Anchorage costs the govern
ment from three to four times as
much to hold court at the regularly
appointed place for several seasons,
one being the excessive cost attached
to a visit to the railroad town, and
another being that it costs more for
the court to travel, with the numer-
Gus officials, than it does for prison
ers. While Anchorage is furnishing
a large part of the law violators and
from all reports there should be sew
eral more arrests, this Is no argument
as to the merits of holding grand
Jury term there. In another month
the inlet will be frozen over, and the
court party would be compelled to
lug many pounds of documents and
court papers to the scene Of the mer-
ry hold-up. Anchorage is but small
part of the third division, and grow
ing smaller daily. Cordova is entitled
to much more consideration in court

RESPONDING to Question by Cum.nins
AZ TO His Course Ii He We're tlOth-
cd with Power and There Was
Strike. Says He'd Keep Hands Oh.

Washington, Jan. 11.-PubSic hear
ings on the railroad legislation rc-
commended by President Wilson to
supplement the Adamson act We're
concluded tonight by the senate COM
merce committee, and tomorrow con-
sideration of what measures snail be
nut before the senate fol- action will
tegin.
The bills under consideration in
clude one to prohibit strikes or lock-
outs during investigation Of the con-
troyersies between railroad employees
and employers, another giving the
president authority to take over the
railroads in case OF military nccessi-
ty, and a. third 10 give the interstate
commerce commission power 70 fix
railroad wages as well as rates
Samuel Gompers, president CT the
American Federation of Labor, the
last witness before the committee,
protested strongly against any meas
ure OF compel arbitration Of disputes
between employer and cmp!oye. and
said to his mind the measure which
suspends during investigation the
right to strike is but step that Will
be followed by others toward driving
the workmen back into involuntary
servitude, from which only the pro
sress of mankind thru the centuries
has freed him.
GOmpers Gives Views.
Senator Cummins asked Mr.. Com
pers if he were clothed with all pow
ers of government, and strike,
peaceful but effective in tying up all
trains had become a fact, what would
be his course.
81 would not interfere" Mr.. Com
pers replied. <s"If the power OF gov
eminent were in me, I, with my con-
cepts and love of American freedom
and American hopes, would not IN
terfere, even though there was some
inconvenience and suffering. The
railroad men are not barbarians; the
railroad managers, | 90 not think are
barbarians. / have no doubt there
would be an adjustment of the con-
troversy"
Mr.. Gompers expressed the convlc-
ton that if the Adamson act had not
been passed on September Z, when
a strike was proclaimed by the rail
road brotherhoods unless the railroad
managers conceded the eight-hour
day in principal there would not have
been a strike, because, he sad, the
railroad managers WOULD have con-
coded the eight-hour day"
w. N. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen'
expressed the opinion that the rail
road brotherhoods would not object
tc measure providing for the presl-
dent to take over the railroads only
in the event of actual or threatened
war" but would oppose the measure
as it now stands.

Saw German Greed to Blame.

eff there is any historical fact es-
tabished at the present date, 1t is
the Wilfu|l aggression of Germany
and Austro-Hungary to insure the
hegomcny over Europe and their eco
nomic domination over the world.
Germany proved by her declaration
q war, by the immediate violation of
religum and Luxembourg, and by her
manner of conducting the war, her
STIMULATING contempt tor all princi-
Flos CT humanity, and all respect for
small states. AS the contest develop
cd the attitude of the central powers
end their allies has been continual
aefanCe of humanity and civilization.
1t is necessary to recall the horrors
which accompanied the invasion of
Belgium and Serbia: the atroCiouS
regime imposed upon the inVaCed
countries. the massacre Of hundreds
Ct thousands Of Armenians, the bar,
barities inflicted upon the population
of Syria. the raids of Zeppelins o.
open towns; the destruction by sub
marines of passenger steamers and
q merchantmen even under neutral
flags The crueltios inflicted upon
prisoners OF war; the judicial muir
ders of Miss Cavel and Captain Fry
att, the deportation and the reduction
to slavery of civilian populations,
ETC.? The execution Of such series
Of crimes in disregard for universal
depreciation fully explains to Presi-
dent Wilson the protests Of the allies.
