In one of the recent articles on Alaska. Frank G. Carpenter. the world renowned writer who visited Fair banks a year ago, says that a com. Dany is being organized at the pres ent time to establish big hotels at Skagway. Dawson. Fairbanks and Seward. These will be for the pur- pose of accommodating in first class style the tourists whom they hope to steer northward.

INCONSISTENCY.

The World has been consistently n
friend of the farmer. so much so that
when u doubtful question arose we
were always ready to give the benefit
OF the doubt to the tller of the soil.
We have done this. not because OF a
desire to be unfairly partial but be-
cause the farmer being the founda-
ton Of economic existence. deserves
to have II little the best of IT If any
body does. This has not blinded our
eyes to the fact that there are some
farmers who some times ask unreason-
able things and, like men in other
walks OF life, are not averse to in
sisting on foot when they are given
an ell. The farmer is just as human
as the rest Of us. and he cannot be
condemned wholesale because he
often seeks to secure unfair advan-
tage Of people in other vocations
Demagogues have long labored to
make him believe he was a mtch-
abused man. and he would be more
than human II he did not sometimes
believe IT, He is not aversc to doing
sometimes for his own betterment the
very tricks which he heartily con-
demns in others.
But II we were disposed to lecture
the farmer, we are saved the job by
the courageous editor Of the Wakita
Herald. He runs a paper in the midst
Of a wheat country and this is what
he says: For years the farmers and
newspapers have with one voice con-
demned spectators and grain men
for boarding wheat in order to boost
the price and called them gamblers
and other unkind names. But those
same newspapers and farmers seem
TO think 1t perfectly all right. since
stop has been put to the activities
of the grain men, for the farmers TO
do the same thing. and Mr.. Hoover
is a mean old thing to stop them
from boarding wheat until the con-
sumner is forced to pay SO or 81. or
even IS, FOR 1t. There may be diff
ference, but we are going 10 admit
that we can't see it,"

THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

We are not informed as 10 the spe-
cific object to be attained by the
government In the concerted raid on
the /. ". w. nests in the various parts
OF the country. but we are disposed
20 hail II as a step in the right direc-
ton. The gathering together Of peo-
pie who desire 10 plot against the
government is a thing that cannot be
too soon broken up. Il Is iniquitous
at any time. and doubly so when the
nation is engaged in a death struggle
with a powerful enemy. and every
at home means the
shedding OF more American blood and
the expenditure OF more American
money. Those who cannot help the
country in its hour OF trial ought At
least to have the decency to suspend
their anarchistic opaganda until
the war is over. II they have not
such decency. they deserve to feel the
heavy hand OF authority and 10 take
the consequences OF their disloyal
folly 70 the limit
But there is another good thing 10
come out OF the crusade against this
oviI organization. Labor has long
had 10 bear the odium Of being IN
sympathy with. Of being connected
with. and 10 certain extent domi-
mated by the red flag element which
has insinuated its agents into their
counsels and tried 10 urge them on 10
and unlawful demon
strations. This inquest into the aims
and methods OF the l. w. W. organiza-
ton. we hope, will be Instrumental in
clearing the skirts Of organized labor
from the disgrace OF having approved
or encouraged the sabotage and eN
cesses preached and practced by the
agitators of this stripe. II Is folly TO
suppose that the organization will he
put out OF existence by the govern
ments efforts, but we can at least
hope that some OF It's blatant dema-
gogues may be punished and the or
ganization deprived OF most of its
power for evil. II this is done. labor
viii be enabled to once again stand
out before the public in its true light,
as the most loyal and patriotic class
of men which the country holds.
Labor will be better respected, be-
come more powerful and be better
able to carry out its legitimate de-
sign OF lifting up the workingman in
stead OF tearing down the results OF
industry \Labor unionism is con-
structive-the !. w. w. is destructive.
