LET'S HAVE PEACE FIRST

If the workngmen of the country desire to hasten the conclusion and adjustment of problems they should unite to bring pressure the Senate to act quickly on the peace treaty and on Congress to hasten the high cost of living legislation of striking. The settlement these questions must be conditions precedent to anything like intelligent consideration of other problems. They must be settled before the world know where it is at In the meantime labor strikes and other disturb ances only add to the difficulty of the situation
 In speech to business men at San Francisco President Wilson warned them that the United States must take up her industrial social problems and he urged that peace must come first What he said to the business of San Francisco applies with equal force to the aboring people United States-including Alaska
 The railroad workers of the country, the work ingmen of New York State and those of many other lines of industry listened called off strikes and are waiting. Ihat was the patriotic thing to do and the sensible The working men can make nothfns by striking at this time. They might close indus tries. but that stoppage of pay checks and increased confusion
 President Wilson, discussing these questions at San Francisco. among other things said:
 T think we aie all now convinced that
 we have not reached the right and final
 organization of industrial society: that
 there are many features of our social life
 that ought to undergo correction. There are
 antasonisms set up that breed heat because
 they breed friction and the world must
 have leisure and order in which to see
 that these things are set right. The world
 cannot have leisure and order unless fl has
 a guaranteed peace.
 We cannot single element of
 our business until have settled peace
 and know going 10 deal with
 friendly world. We cannot determine our
 own economic reforms until then and there
 must be very fundamental economic
 reforms in this country There must be reconsideration of the structure of
 economic society. Whether We will no

Good Roads Necessary
(ValdeZ Miner


 By vote of to California recently voted to appropriate forty million dollars Tor good roads. Alaska nearly four times as large as oaa, fornia has been turned down on an appropriation three hundred thousand dollars Without roads Alaska never be developed. Millions or dollars gold silver and copper ores are lying at 1nacces, sable points all of which mineral would be worked they could be reached by adequate transportation But one road of any consequence exists in the Ter ritory today, the Richardson road, from valdez to Fairbanks. This road has had less spent on it than any township in California. It is the only artery of transportation reaching from the Pacific tdewa- ters to the Canadian boundary, Other points Tn Alaska should be tapped by main lines if develop ment is expected The road from Anchorage to the Yukon is important thoroughfare acting as a water transportation for eight months of the year. A trunk line should run from Fairbanks to Dawson from Fairbanks to Nome via St. Michael or via the
 The thirty five milliin dillars that was spent trails would have caused unprecedented era of de- velopment in Alaska. It would have covered the opened up millions Of tons or hlsh grade ore M ne railway will but small portion of the Ter Iitory Good roads will serve every section
 Alaska has of 590,8S4 square miles There numerous valleys which could be followed tSe Terrtory which % has hardly been prospected account of the difficulty in transporting sup plies
 Thousands if travellers have used the Richard son road and many thousands will always it, despite the railway now building. It gives the poor chance to mush in the interior without paying out large for fare It gives the man in the interior an opportunity to reach the coast at minimum cost One hundred thousand dollars would fix the road so that it would be out of com mission again. It would give Fairbanks citizens cheap mode of transportation to salt water, and autos would be by every camp along the trail.
 Conservative figures compiled by the Chamber of Commerce show that at least cen thousand dol lars has heen lost Valdez this year by the road being of commission. Travel has been diverted to Chitina and high prices paid for freghts which could have been hauled cheaply by auto trucks. The Government must have these things called to it's attention The railroad is big thing for Alas ya b,trna de md trai1c will hn tha chi nlpa of transportation, and there is country earth with few roads Alaska
 If California spend forty millions of dollars in year for good roads Alaska should be able get reasonable appropriation.

WICKERSHAM BUNCOME DOES NOT
 GO ANY MORE

Judge Wickersham is discovering that he can no longer get away with any old buncome to Whlch he might give utterance in order to create pre- judce against those who do not serve his purposes Every time says anything that is not true, he is called when he practices sophistry, the absur- dities pointed out
 An illustration of the way things have of not going Wckershams way any more is shown in the printed hearings before the Elections Committee in the House of Representatives. There a few Southern members Congress that committee, and Judge Wickersham, hoping to appeal to the well known Southern antipathy for "carpetbag- gers' declared that many of the members of the Democratic machine in Alaska "carpetbaggers" The day Delegate Grigsby got back at him in this wise
 "The word carpetbagger' used
 here yesterday. 1 want to tell
 something about that. Now,
 in 1900, the Judge himself packed up
 his carpetbag and with Federal
 commission in his pocket went up to
 Nome United States Judge. He
 was carpetbagSer
 Judge Wickersham not only came to Alaska as "carpetbagger,' but he has been the public payroll except for few months since he came to the Territory in 1900--nineteen years ago. He came here a carpet bag appointee and within few months after he resigned Judge at the re- quest of then President Roosevelt, who made the request when it discovered that a Republican United States Senate would confirm bis nom- nation for a second term, he announced his cand- dacy for Delegate to Congress against a Republican nominee for the office. He then drew pay for ten years, having been elected for five terms, NEVER AS REPUBLICAN, notwithstanding that he says he always supported the Republican organization from top to bottom"

Marshal Brenneman has made the Third Divis- ion of the most law abiding in the Territory. He has put the fear of the law into the criminal class, and has stamped bootlegging.

We believe the Federal officers of the Third Divs- ion good could be found anywhere. They nave tried to do their duty they found it, ire pective of the parties violating the law.-(Valdez Miner)

But few mines have been discovered in the last ten years The old prospector has either left the country is in a business which pays better. The nigh price of supplies and the difficulties of portation have kept great many Alaskans out of the hills. Unless properties discovered mining in Alaska will join the dodo, the buffalo, he tempering of copper and other extinct things. The Government should offer an inducement for prospecting. A discovery should be financed instead of penalized.-(N Valdez Mner.)

X Jay. They felt that 1t was only a
question of time until we would be
called to the colors and realized most
keenly the fact that 1t IS one thing
to be willing and quite another to be
able to take your part. They felt. as
this war has shown, the lamentable
injustice and grievous loss that are
entailed by putting against men who
are trained in the business unframed
men, who. no matter how good their
spirit and how great their courage, do
not know the game.
The outcome of the conference of
these men was the decision to ask
General Wood il it were possible for
him to hold a training camp, similar
to those held for boys. for men up to
as years. With the usual patriotism
that eharacterizes him, General Wood
said at once that he would hold the
camp even if it were able to get only
twenty-five men to attend. In the
beginning converts came slowly, but
after a campaign Of personal solicita-
ton, in which memhefs of the original
group went individually to various
cities in the vicinity of New York. the
movement got under way with such
success that the first so-called BUSH
ness mems Plattsburg camp number
ed about 1000 and was Immediately
followed by another nearly as large,
AT this time the average man did
not know what military training and
service meant. The camp was com
posed Of men of all types and all ages
Many of them, too old for active serv-
ice, had come as an earnest of their
belief and through the desire to teach
by their actions as we'll as by their
preachings. Robert Bacon and John

always be treasured by those who
were fortunate enough to know them
