Straight to Disaster.

New York World.)
 The favorite quotation of all the opponents of the League of Nations is this, from Washingtons g Farewell Address:
 Europe has a set of primary interests
 which to have very remote
 relation. Hence she must be engaged in ire
 quent controversies the causes of which are
 essentially foreign to our concerns.
 These words absolutely true when they were uttered Today they absolutely untrue Except what happens in the United States, nothing concerns much what happens in Europe. It con- cerns us economically. It concerns us financially. It socially. We escape consequences of community existence. We might as well say that it was no concerns of ours whether our next-door neighbor had diphtheria or whether his house burned down to say that are not concerned with what goes on in Europe
 Superfciay nothing could bear less relation to American affairs than the murder of an Austrian Arch duke in the streets of a town in the Balkans Yet because of it than 60 000 Americans are filling sCldierz graves in France The thunder of American cannon has shaken the castles the banks of the Rhine and great armies. of American troops are occu- pying German territory and administering the gov ernment of hundreds of thousands of Germans.
 Theoretically have very little concern with what happens in Russia but when Russia goes Bol- shevist the menace to American institutions is as great as the to British and French institu- tions Even the United States Senate responds to the challenge.
 Senator Borah is travelling around the country telling his audiences that the thing to do is to stand
 
 world in the right path, and then if they did not choose go that way it would be Gods will and not fault" That is the way the Kaiser talks about this It Gods will the wickedness of his enemies but it the fault of German autocracy Yet if there had been a League of Nations there would have been war Austria-Hungary would have been compelled to submit the issue with Serbia to bitration. There would have been ultimatum
 The military masters of Germny would have known in advance that if they plunged Europe into the whole civilized world would be against them. There would have been gambling the possibl- ties of Irish revolution If Great Britain upheld Ter treaty obligations, question to the that all the other great nations would play if Berlin ap- peaed to the sword to hack it's way to the mastery of the world
 Yet the Borahs and the Reeds and the Thomases and the Shermans of the United States Senate are exhoring the Americai people that there must be no association of nations to prevent repetition of that colossal crime; that the most sacred right of any try is to make its neighbors whenever it be- ieves that will promote its selfish interests that the power of the United States not be erted to maintain peace but used only to help undo the evil after it is done.
 If history and human experience teaches anything it is that that kind of statesmanship lead only to disaster. It never lead anywhere else These belong to the generation that preferred smallpox to vaccination and confagrations fire department.

GEN. RICHARDSON COMMANDS AN ARMY.

The news that Alaska's General, Gen. Richard son, is to command an American expeditionary army in Russia will please the people of Alaska. Gen. Richardson has been of Aaskas institutions for two decades. He has left indelible impression upon this great Territory. His name and work will remain very important part of the Territorial his tory-and very pleasing and refreshing part of it., because it work No man has worked harder, persisently less selfshly to better purpose for Alaska. He has accomplished results incompar- able with those of other man identified with public matters in the Territory He came to Alaska in 1897 and for twenty years he tireless in his service for the public welfare.
 Those who know Gen. Richardson we'll do not have exercise their imaginatons to appreciate the great interest and determination to succeed with which he will undertake his work at the head of army fn active service in behalf of his country. He is every inch soldier, loyal to the War Department patriotic to the and of great ability
 That Gen. Richardson will make good at the head of army in Russia there is not question of doubt. He is made of stun that always makes good.
 His record there will be watched with interest by many thousands of Alaskans and former Alaskans In all parts of the Territory and in the Nation at large

KOREAN INDEPENDENCE.

The report that Korea has issued declaration Of independence is probably not to be taken seriously Korea's territorial and racial claims to independence are good but at the time Korea conquered it was and had long been utterly degenerate. Bribery and extortion were rampant. If any common man had more than enough for his immediate need it was taken from him by the governing classes the courts for sale and crime unrestrained.
 In the few years that the Japanese have had the country they have brought order out of chaos Prop erty is safe in Korea, the courts are conducted under the rules of law and Korea is thriving.
 Some day if the world continues to move as it has been moving Korea will establish its claim to autonomy but the country is still in leading strings and, according to the best opinion, could not be trusted walk alone.

JUNEAU'S OPPORTUNITY.

If pre-war conditions of peace progress and pros perity restored in Juneau, if this city is to resume growing and developing, if work is to be plentiful and business thriving, it is absolutely ne cessary personal politics. chaos making, actional quarreling and grandstanding be discarded There must be an end of horse play There must be sane, consistent earnest, coLstructive endeavor There must team work. Humbuggery must cease. People instead of demagogy. There must be harmonious o-operation.
 There, is no reason in the world why politicians She has gone through terrible ordeal, and she has met the situation too bravey to be cursed as is Europe by those who playing politics and sparr1ng for personal position. The and women of this community, those who do the actual work and the business city, those who interested in or derly progress and development, should set good example to the Territory They should take the lead again, point the way to better things and better conditions They do that by taking charge of the city's affairs themselves No city thrive hate and malice and vengeance, when petty politicians are allowed to" play battledoor and shuttlecock with public matters.
 Juneau has opportunity to show her capacity for self-government. She herself, or she let clowns continue to perform and entertain them selves while the community drifts
