iect of a great deal of highly intelligent dis cussion-iust as all important proposed leg islation should be discussed-and it IS cer- tain that the passage of the bill, as it now stands, would not be in accord with the sentiment that predominates very largely in this section of the Territory and in which are located the largest concerns that would be affected by its passage That the bill has good features, there is no gainsaying; but the purpose of general legislation be- ing to bring about the greatest good to the greatest number of people, it would fail of it's purpose if made a law. The preparation of the bill shows, however that Senator Aldrich has at heart the interest of both employer and employed and, eyenif it never finds a place on the statute books, he will have the assurance of having endeayorcd to better conditions as they appeared to him-if not to the majority of those best Uualificd to pass on it's merits.

After mature dehberation We have come to the conclusion that the advice of Gov enor Strong to the legislators about intro ducing limited number of good bills rather than a multiplicity of poor ones, is not be- ing followed-that is, not so closely fol- lowed as to create comment.

The report that German emmisarics have been cndeavorng to incite the negroes of the South to nsmrection is amusing to those who know the "Brother in Black. " He may have his weaknesses, but disloyalty is not one of them. Harriet Beacher Stowe, in her "Unclc Toms Cabin,' which had more to do with bringing about abolition of negro slavery than any other agency, beautifully described the loyalty of the ne gro to "mah own people, and that loyalty is a race characteristic.

If Alaskans are ever called upon to go to the front, we hope to see shoulder straps adoming the uniforms of as many native sons as there are positions for. Not but that they would creditably acquit themselves anywhere, but that to be born in Alaska is distinction which should be recognized and rewarded.

Until the old Pacific Coast coal bunkers at Juneau is rcmoved-the msightly old ramshacklc building that stands just west of the old Pacific Coast dock and looks like it had been hit by what is termed 'some- where in France" Jack Johnson ''-the good people of that city-people who are patriotic and jealous of their city's fair namc-should induce steamboat captains to land there only at night and dark nights at that. As the shamelessness of the old building can not be observed from any place but the channel in front of Juneau, the ma Iority of her people can haze mo idea ol iust how rcpulsivc looking it really is. ~ uy rate it is a disgrace to Juneau aud an cycscrc to those entering II c c.ty by boat.

Amcrca'S greatest menace is from dis loyal and traitorous residents within her own confines and no halfway, mcaly- mouthcd tactics should be employed in dealing with them when all doubts are re- moved as to their sentiments and prefer cuccs. We do not know that there are any such people in this community-we hope there are uot-but if there are it is the duty of all good citizens, whether by birth or adoption to report the first symptom of disloyaty to the proper authorities. Up ward of one hundred and forty years have not served to cffacc the hatred that ranklcs in the breast of every true American at mention of Benedict Anold's name and the same feeling for those of his ilk is as strong today as it was in the time of the Revolu- tonary war.

DENNY ON THE JOB

Tt ore ]. Denny O'Neil will sticx
to his text and we believe that
he intends to do so. there is going
TO be some real roadmaking in Penn
sylvania during the next few weeks.
AS boss of the State highways the
gentleman from Allegheny is in po-
sition to make the dirt fly and we
trust he will not be accused by his
political enemies of throwing mud
while he is about 1t. OF course, Mr..
O'Neil has been known to indulge in
the diversion of politics now and
then, but he declares that the making
of good roads appeals to him as a
real job and we shall watch with
much interest the development of his
plans for the elimination of the
obstacles to true religion now located
In most of the boroughs on the main
highway routes.
For years the State system of high
ways has been suffering from ar
terial trouble caused by a general
breakdown within most of the bor-
oughs and lesser municipalities, bur
Commissioner o'Neil promises, with
a little reasonable assistance from
counties. townships and boroughs, to
administer such treatment by his
skilled specialists as will effect cure
and remove the demand for Billy
Sundays services and the minis
tration of the Good Samaritan.
May we also suggest to the new
chief OF The States roadmaking de-
partnent that Harrisburg should be

Give Our Boys a Fighting Chance
BY William Wrigley, Jr., Chicago.

demanded few months later; so we
prepare in midwinter, for our COM
forts during the heated period of
summer.
The plan of universal military
training as outlined in the Chamber
lain bill would make available at all
times, millions of young men who
have had sufficient military training
to enable them to become excellent
soldiers with n few weeks of addl-
tional training. This would safe
guard the nation and prepare 1t
against any contingency that would
probably arise. and if one should
never arise, the training and dis
cipline would be the very best eX-
perience that any young man could
have. 1t would make him stronger
physically, more alert mentally,
quicker to see and act. Also, 1t
would increase his earning capacity
and give him a better chance to win
success in his life work. Our boys
appreciate this. l think the majority
of them would be glad to take the
training.
War is a calamity beyond descrip-
ton. We are sorry that any of our
young men should be compelled to
engage in it, but there are some
things worse than war, and one
would be to have our country dom
mated by foreign power-by rule
of ruthless militarism that counts
war as a regular business.
Since the boys may at any time
be called upon to defend our coun-
try and our flag, we owe it to them
to provide them with a careful pre-
training so that they may perform
this important national function
both efficiently and as safely as pos
sible. We must not bo asleep at the
switch. The responsibility is up to
the American citizen and the voters
of this country to demand the pas
sage of the Chamberlain bill or some
similar measure by Congress at it's
next session. 1t has already been
postponed too long. It's time now
for action.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. &c
BRINGING THE WAR HOME

* LOWLY but surely the war is
- being brought home to US. We
have been slow to grasp just
what our participation in the great
world conflict really means 1t has
been so far away. The casualty Lists
have meant so little to US. Our own
everyday lives have gone on so much
as they always have. Our own kins-
folk have not been on the firing line.
But now the letters from France
begin TO tell another story. The
chapters of interesting contempor-
aneous history from the pens of
Franklin Etter and Walter ]. Shat
fer, Harrisburg lads in the war zone,
published by the Harrisburg Tele-
graph, have a new tone. Etter has
been under fire and Shaffer has been
flying over the battle lines.
These we'll written contributions to
the current chapter of Harrisburg S
part in the great conflict are the
forerunners Of even more thrilling
stories. They not only picture for as,
in language that would do credit to
professional writers, life and condi-
lions in the fighting section of
France, but they bring US to a reali-
cation of the fact that our own
neighbors and friends are in the fore
front of the fighting there and that
soon the few who are now there
will be increased to a mighty army
in which Harrisburgers will have a
large and important part.
Slowly our conception of the war
will change. Our interest is already
developing from the abstract to the
very real and personal. When our
boys shall have arrived by the regi-
ment in front line trenches the war
will have become our war, and every
hundred yards of trench wrestsd
from the invading hosts will be sub
ject for jubilation.

NATURAL LIBERTY

The natural liberty Of man, by en-
tering into society, is abridged or
restrained, so far only as is necessary
for the great end of society, the best
good of the whole. In spite of nature
every man is under God, Judge and
sole judge of his own rights and of
the injuries done him. BY entering
into society he agrees to an arbiter
or Indifferent judge between him and
his neighbor; but he no more re-
nounces his original right than by
taking a cause out of the ordinary
course of law, and leaving the de-
cisfon to referees or Indifferent arhl-
traitors. In the last case he must
pay the referees for time and trouble
He should als6 be willing to pay his
