The Far West Gets In

an answer that paints by no means de-
pressing picture. In conversation with

THE Republican members of the House

Tor the war. They have voted for all the
money asked, for all the loans authorized.

I'VE Republicans are the representatives

set aside all other questions We agreer
to let the lesser chances and inferior homes
meanwhile go pouring past.
Under the pressure of war we have hao
demands made upon us for powers to be
invested nominally in the President. Du.
really in Cabinet officers, the heads OF pu-
reaus, and in Observation-Disclosures of
the moment-which equal the powers cxer-
clsed by the great autocracy of Germany.

observer to have little or nothing to COM

which makes them dependent on the execu-
tive pleasure.
The whole trouble is that criticism and
dlsloyalty have been put on the same basis,
we all owe to the President of the United
States all the support we can give him, and
we have given it; but our highest allegiance
Is to greater things than Presidents or gov

obligation to find work for the workers rs
national, and that until it is found the
government must maintain them.
I'VE shall expect the government rigor-
ously to maintain the workers. wage stand
ard, and to prevent capitalist employers
tampering with wages; but also to take
considered steps to prevent unemployment.
Many urgently needed public works will
have to be instantly taken in hand to this
end-the building of houses for the rural
and urban population whose presen:
homes would be despiscd by an Intelligent
Hottentot; the remaking and Improvement
OF roads, railways, canals; tho reclamation
of land, afforestation, the development of
agriculture; further, the pressure upon the
labor market will be relieved by raising
the school-leaving age to sixteen, by short
ening the hours of labor, especially FOR
young people, and diminishing the amount
of overtime. The governing consideration
must be to distribute employment as widely
as possible, to close every possible avenue
or unemployment, and to use all the re-
sources Of the state to find productive work
for every man and woman who needs it.
"The effort to meet these demands, which
admit of no qualification, will lead to that
scientific organization of industry for
which the Labor party has always stood.
We want to see industry organized on the
basis of democratic control, with conse-
quent elimination of 'pro,reering,' whether
by individualist capitalists or by great In
terests in more or less open alliance with
the state. Neither state capitalism nor
state socialism is our objective, but rather
industrial democracy. We shall therefore
resist every proposal to hand back to pri-
vate hands the great industries and SER
vices which have come under the control of
the community during the war

RTHUR HENDERSON, in "The

IL
~ Contemporary Review" gives
an interesting picture of the
outlook for labor-particularly in Eng
land, but, because the war has brought
about SO striking a revaluation in this
particular, picture which may find
significant application all over the
world. His article, in part, follows:
UTHREE documents have recently been
l. issued by the Labor party dealing
respectively with party reorganization, war
aims and the reconstruction of society after
the war. Taken together, these three docu-
ments constitute political and social pro-
gramme of first-class interest and impor-
lance. They embody the new ideas and
ideals which the organized democracy of
this country desires to see ascendant as
the nations approach the war settlement
and take up the tasks and duties of peace.
"The whole organized movement, both
the present universal catastrophe as the
final stage in the disintegration and COL
lapse Of the civilization which was founded
upon the individualist system Of capitalist
production and the social and political
subordination of the toiling masses.
"The governing consideration in the
minds of working people is that recon-
struction must be fundamental, involving
the creation of a new social order, the
regeneration of political parties, and the
discovery and practice of higher faith
and freedom by nations in the common
wealth Of nations, by the classes in those
nations, and by individual men and women
included in those classes. This is not
the task of day or year.
Confronted by vast and complex prob
lem which would have appalled, the stout
est spirits and paralyzed the initiative of
the ablest statesmen of the past, the lead
ers Of democracy have to lay down prin-
ciples and policies which neither this gen.
Grafton nor the next may be able to bring
to full fruition. Feverish improvsations,
dictated by the exigencies of the moment,
may delay the realization of our plans.
This or that specific reform may absorb
disproportionate amount of Parliamentary
time and the energy Of statesmen.
"The public may be drawn off like
pack in full cry after more than one stale
herring. Old political feuds may be re-
vived. Half forgotten controversies may
blaze up afresh. All this will be to the
detriment of the carefully thought out
we'll articulated and comprehensive pro-
gramme upon which the Labor party will
base its appeal to the SURFACES of the
electors, but practical politicians we do
not expect miracles, and are prepared to
make the best use we can of the advantages
afforded by the frequent lucidities of the
public mind, and the direct inspirations
which often move even Parlaments, gov
ernments and parties. In opposition and-if
fortune favors us-in office, the party of
the workers, meaning thereby the party of
all the people whose labor of hand or brain
enriches the community, will keep it's eyes
steadily fixed on the goal while it strives
by wise and wary opportunism which
does not compromise its essential indie
pendence, to apply it's principles to political
problems as they arise.

The Breakdown of the
1 'Individualist System

Our programme of reconstruction starts
system of capitalist production has broken
down. 1t was discredited by its results be-
fore the war: it was superseded when war
came because it proved to be impossible to
adapt it to national needs in time of war
But an economic system which degraded
and demoralized its victims in time Of peace
and was found to be useless in time of war
stands totally condemned.
ITO attempt to restore it would be mad
ness. Organized democracy does not want
to restore it. We set our faces resolutely
against any proposal which will have the
effect Of reestablishing this system Of pri-
waite ownership and competitive administra-
ton of land and capital.
in its place we seek to set up a social
and economic order based on deliberately
planned cooperation in production and dis
tributlon which will guarantee the widest
possible freedom for all classes and both
sexes and involve the exploitation or SUBJ
lection of none.
Gas q first step in the direction of this
new social order we claim for every mem
Der of the community the fullest measure
OF social protection it is possible to secure
by means of the universal enforcement or
minimum standard of subsistence, Of leis-
urc. of health of education.
"A beginning had been made before the
war in the organization of this social pro-
hu re
pubic health acts, factory acts, education
acts, compensation acts, truck acts, and the
IKE; VIC propose to carry that process to its
logical conclusion by suitable amendments
and extensions of such legislation.
The first test Of the policy OF a national
minimum wilrcomc with the rehabilitation
OF the fighting forces and the discharge Of
the munition workers. To flood the labor
market with some eight million wage earn
crs-discharged soldiers, sailors and mum
ton workcrS-would produce an unpar-
alleled dislocation and involve the whole
wage~earning class in ruin.
Unemployment viii dcprcss the STANG
srd Of wages, the reduction Of wages win
bring about terrible degradation Of tho.
workers standard Of life. This calamity
can only be avcrtcd by the deliberate pre-
yent:on Of Unemployment by national or
Ganization.
"Tbc Labor party therefore insists that
not only shall rehabilitation be gradual,
but that suitable provision shall be made
against any worker being turned adrrs
without resources whss~ the munitIon fac
tories cease production and the war trades

british Labor and the
- Foreign Policy

with the foreign policy of the Labor
party it is not necessary to deal at length.
The partys memorandum on war aims has
received a great deal of public attention,
and the outline Of the peace settlement to
which organized democracy stands pledged
has in it's main essentials been Endorsed by
the Prime Minister and by President Will
son.
"'The scope of our proposals goes beyond
the immediate settlement of the war. Our
aim is to make the world safe for democ-
racy by removing, as far as possible, the
causes of war. by securing such territorial
and political readjustments, based on the
right of national selfdeterminaton and
the reputation of every form of imperial
ism,' as history and experience have shown
to be necessary, by the suppression Of Sc
cret diplomacy, by bringing foreign policy
under the control of Parliament, and by the
universal abolition Of compulsory military
service and the abolition by agreement of

Yet these pioneers unleered and accustomed to rude surroundings, made America possible.

 It rritates to hear Lincoln described as un educated" He had magnificent education If he had been educated he could not have written spoken he did. What is meant by those who call him uneducaed is probably that he got his education in a way unfamiliar to them. He educated himself, by reading by observing, by thinking. His masters were masters of literature, nature his fellow men, him self, life. He got out of them than most men get out universities He got it by good, honest uncompromising unreenting labor.
 Lincoln became great man; great as the greatest. He earned his fame. We do him scant credit by regarding him strange sport of nature a being of another plane. Instead, should compi. him by looking at him he was, and getting from him the inspiration that great man can give to all other

While it would probably be wiser to await more complete from the primary election before attempting anayze the results, returns which have indicate that the people of Alaska have already made up their minds re-eect Dele gate Charles A. Sulzer for another term. The re ports received by The Empire indicate that he has probably received two votes for both William Maloney and Judge Wickersham
 This big vote should be viewed in the light of the circumstance that there hot for Repub lican legislative nominations in the Third and Fourth Divisions. There two well known and strong candidates in the Fourth Division for the Republican Senatorial nomination, and in the Third Division there were seven Republicans contestng for nomna ton to the House of Representatives and three can didates for Road Commissioner Tn neither of these precincts there any Democratic contests except for Delegate.
 It ought also to be considered that there was an open and admitted combination between the Wicker sham forces and the Strong Maoney coterie. With Wickersham running for the Republican nomination Tor Delegate, more less torrd contests for places on Wickersham legislative tickets in two Divisions and this effort to get the spare Wickersham follow ing out to vote for Maloney in the Democratic pri- mary it is reasonable to suppose that the opposition to Delegate Sulzer pretty well represented the ballot boxes.
 On the other hand it is fair assume that not only will every vote that for Suzer last Tuesday be for him in November. but that hundreds of those who did not vote who went into the Republican primary to vote for a favorite for the Legislature will vote for him in the general election
 The conviction that this is a Sulzer year cannot fail to follow close observation of the returns from the primaries.
