The White Mans Burden.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 Ii is not the man whose skin but whose soul is white of whom speak. The man of white com plexion has had, and is having and will continue to have heavy burden to those whose faces are black red and yellow but it is the man whose spirit is sensitive to truth and duty whose shoulders must bear the present load of responsibility for the future of the world Not only the man, but the nations! . era present themselves to the minds of the dele gates in Paris and reflected in those of the millions who following their deliberations with rrepressble solicitude. Among them appears that disposal of the German colonies and the states incapable of self government at present. The natural and easy solution is to divide them up be tween the conquering nations "the spells of war Against this plan the President of the United States has resoutely set himself, because it would be in consistent with the political and moral reasons for our entering into the war, because it would throw doubt upon the honesty of the Allies, and because it would subject these weaker nations to over lordsip which, if it not unjust and tyran- nous would contradict ever-growing belief in the rights of all peoples to develop in accordance with the unrestricted genius of their individual natures. Let us, rather MT Wilson says, divide them up as lead but not to drag them up the steep altar stairs to higher platform of civilization
 That this involves prodigious responsibility and will impose heavy burden upon all the great and powerful members of the league he knows but does shrink from his personal share nor from com the white mans burden? For what purpose IS an individual nation endowed with wealth and power? To live in luxury, to oppress or even to ignore the weaker nations of the mighty ssterhood? Indubitaby not That imperious spiritual law that possession of any shining gift involves equiv aent obligation presses upon nation as heavily as it does upon individual.
 There have voices lifed from "the seats of the mighty" denouncng Mr. Wilson's plan and repudiat- ing the obligations of the United States to assume this burden they sound dscordant, timd and un- worthy. We think that the shoulders of giants are made broad strong for the very purpose of bear ing burdens We believe that the supreme result of bearing such burden have borne in this war is the broadening and strengthening of national back bear others like it.

THE EMPIRE AND ITS READERS AND PUBLIC
 OFFICE
OFFICE.

The editor and publisher of The Empire having been appointed to the office of Collector of Customs for the District of Alaska, feel that our readers are entitled to be informed on what about to say
 kan institution It has an investment in its print ing plant, etc, that is much greater than that or any other Alaska newspaper. Its circulation is more than double-perhaps, more than three times that of any other Alaska newspaper. It has pay roll in Juneau of $2,000 month and total monthly expense account of than $3,000 It is the only publication in Alaska that has made a sustained effort to give real modern newspaper service.
 It is easy to understand from this brief resume that The Empire is far interested in Alaska, it's welfare and development, than it is in any public office.
 The Empire will continue to discuss Alaska affairs, and it will discuss them in the future it has dis cussed them in the past without fear favor, in dependent of any outside influence and with the good of Alaska solely in mind
 The editor of The Empire has been resident of never been seeker office and though he has been appointed Collector of Customs he is not yet Fed eral official If it should be discovered that the position to which has has been appointed, when as sumed, in any way interferes with the free exercise of his duty the readers of The Empire the public the directing head of The Empire and its editorial and business policies, it will be his duty either resign his office surrender control of The Empire He will do his duty in the premises, and he has idea of surrendering, control of The Empire

THE SENATE FILIBUSTER.

The rules of the United States Senate should be amended that flibuser during the last hours of session of Congress could destroy the work of months of hard committee work and tie the hands of the National Government Government by minority flibustering is not democracy. It is better than government by strikes. resembles the latter proceeding very much. Democracy can progress only when we have rule by the majority.
 The flibuser in the Senate defeated the passage of the appropriation for the conduct of the countrys railroad systems prevented the efforts of the ment to provide for the employment of returning soldiers and others out of work the adjustment incident the close of the war and pos sbly, defeated the Sundry Civil and other appropri- ation bills.
 It is not a wonder that the whole Nation is dis gusted at the action of these Senators who, a cam paign make President Wilson unpopular solely political purposes, have played the role of ch.sc chaos producers. The disgust is particularly at this time when certain l. w. W. and Bolsheyist influences seeking to destroy demo- cratic government in the United States. If we are to have Bolshevism in Congress it will be difficult to suppress it the ignorant lowly classes the country.
