BECOME PREPARED

No particular good VIII now from
overemphasizing the circumstance
that the present attempt to paralyze
the business of the country and TO
starve many millions Of people is faith
cred by an "outlaw" organization.
1t is not who or what are behind
the present undertaking that chiefly
concerns the public, but the end
sought. II would be just as distress
ing to go hungry at the decree Of a
regular as of an irregular labor organ
ization.
The country confronts no ordinary
crisis. 1t is in the presence of a big
and uncompromisable issue. This
issue is whether organized minorities
are to rule and give orders to the un-
organized majority against all equity
and justice.
If organized minorities, not kept
under control, are permitted to do as
they please, there is no manner of
doubt as to how they win use their
power. They will use it TO oppress
the many. So organized minorities
have always done when they had a
chance.
The seeds Of trouble were sown
when the Adamson law pistol was
pointed at the publie's head and the
President and Congress weakly yield
ed, buying a temporary settlement at
the expense of future security. Since
the Adamson hold-up there has been
an increase of the highwayman spirit,
as might have been expected. The
railroad workers are not to be person
ally blamed. They are probably no
more arrogant than would be others
possessing similar ability to enforce
their selfish will.
The time approaches for show
down and decision. The public needs
to prepare itself for a severe struggle
to restore its supremacy. The better
Il is prepared the less likely is it TO be
the victim of intolerable aggression.
The delusion must be dispelled that
the masses are incapable Of self-pro-
lection.
Can the public protect itself? II
can. II can easily. All that is re-
quired is an attainable degree Of con-
certed intelligence and resolute will
TO act as It thinks. The kismet mood
must be dissipated. Fate does not re-
quire the public to submit. The
masses Of this country do not eonsti-
tute helpless bulk with the defensive
ability Of a jellyfish.
Think clearly.
BE optimistic. but not foolishly so.
Too long has been general mental
muddlement-too long has II been
assumed that some things are not TO
be feared simply because they are i'm
possible. Human nature has not been
repealed, and there is but one way to
meet the onslaughts Of disciplined
groups who disregard social obliga-
tions This one way is by counter
organization and firm insistence that
no set Of men. on any excuse, may set
themselves up as masters in this
country.
Arouse the proper spirit Of resist
ance. make IL plain that We fight once

BOOSTS
 FUTURE OF INTERIOR

The Interior country has seen its worst days, in the opinion of w. w. Pendergraft, prominent business
 man of Fairbanks, who was re- turning passenger on the steamer Yukon last night from the lower river. He left the steamer upon arrival here and completed his jour- ney by train today.
 Mr. Pendergraft admits that con- ditions are somewhat quiet at pres
 ent along the river, but the tide has changed, he says, and from now on the trend of travel will be toward Alaska instead of away from the Territory. He predicts that the re- covery from depressed conditions twill be both rapid and permanent. Alaska is now going through the
 experience that retards the growth of every frontier country, he says. The old West had much the same
 handicaps to overcome in the way of population losses, and finally emerg-
 ed with solid growth and steadi- fly increasing expansion of develop
 ment, Fully 80 percent of the pio- ineers returned to the East after
 short stay, but nearly all of them
 eventually returned, to locate per manently.
 That is the way it will be with
 Alaska, MT. Pendergraft believes The oldtimers are already beginning to return North, and each year
 henceforth, he says, the number will
 increase, until practically all of the
 sourdoughs of early days are back l in the North. And with them will
 come many new settlers and men
 seeking investments and business op-
 portunities. The railroad, he be- lieves, will help materially to inn
 prove conditions.

WHITE WILL WAIT
 FOR MORE WAFER

The steamer Carl White, which has been making regular trips be- tween Fairbanks and the iogjam on the Tolovana river, carrying pass engers and freight, will not attempt another trip until water conditions in the Tolovana are more favorable for navigation. The steamer has been laid up at Fairbanks and White announces that he will carry the mail by way of Olnes until such time as he can resume traffic on the river.
 The steamer had an especially try ing time on the last voyage up the Tolovana and water conditions, it is believed, will continue to grow steadily worse until relief comes in the form of rain.

From Italy comes the report that many who went back there after the war are now anxious to return to the United States.
 There were tales Of land to be ob- tained at small cost. Some such stories were true. But there are dis advantages of life in Italy, particular ly in villages, that many had forgot in the years they lived in the United States.
 Some of these disadvantages weighed heavier on women. For one the lack of running water. All get their water at a fountain near the center of each village in central Italy.
 Tourists think that picturesque. The poetry of it does not appeal so strongly to the women who have to carry il home. When clothes are to be washed in many neighborhoods they must be carried some distance to the bank oi stream. Very different that is, from filling tubs at a ready faucet, as is the practice nearly everywhere in the United States.
 Whatever Is the fact, it is not diff cult to believe that many of these women are urging their husbands tc move back to this country. In no other country in the world are women gen orally so well off as in the United States.

TONGUES AND TEMPER

In any list of quarrel breeders and temper destroyers the prim and pious game of croquet would undoubtedly rank first. Just why .so innocuous a tapping of phlegmatic balls should blow open the craters of ones wrath has never been satisfactorily deter mined. But the fact Is incontrovert- ible.
 Playing piano duets is another ob- vious Illustration wherein the hateful character of the product contributes largely to the disaster. Some subtle resemblance to matrimony of the ball and chain variety probably aids in the strain upon tempers-the humping ef- fort to unite to different personalities upon one keyboard and one tune.
 A fresh and ingenious example of a temper tester is offered by Max Beer- bohm in the London Mercury. It oc- CUTS, he notes, whenever one English man is talking French to Frenchmar in the presence of another Englishman Talking French is more of an occa- sional luxury to Americans, but the situation is much the same.

future nation of small landholders.
 Many families of the large estate owning class, while retaining part of their property, have found it necessary to cut up other parts in small portions to sell. Others have sold outright to members of the class of recent rich created by the war. who themselves have disposed of parts of the acquired estates to smaller owners.
 The old-style English squire, 1t Is predicted, soon will be a rarity or will entirely have disappeared. The type of country gentleman who took a personal interest in his tenants will be no more. Village life will be completely changed because of the new class of tenants.
 Incidentally, it is reported that the cherished institution of fox hunting is being spoiled. Since many small farm CTS own their land outright and since these lands represent to them their liv- ing. they are refusing to let the hounds and riders pass over their fields. And as the land is coming more and more to be cup up unto small parcels, the hunters are finding themselves more and restricted-North China Standard

ERANcE STERN. WLrH eoueERs

Paris-The government through M. Richard, judge of the tenth correctional chamber. has given evidence of its de- sire to deal sternly with those people who want to get rich at the expense of the community by preventing reduc- ton in the price of commodities.
 Tn June when there was tendency for the prices of fruits and vegetables to fall, the commission agents at the central markets became alarmed, and sent letters to food producers in the provinces asking them to stop sending supplies. Their object was to create an artificial scarcity and so keep up prices
 These men were arrested, and one of them, Bonnetaud, has been tried. Judge Richard showed him no mercy. He spoke of him as a public malefactor, as burglar of the domestic budget" and described one of the letters seized as a proof of the perfect profiteer." The judge sent him to prison for six months, fined him 15,000 francs (aboui $3,000 at normal exchange), deprived him of his civil and political rights and ordered ten insertions of the judgment in the newspapers. This sentence has given great atisfaction-London Tele- graph.

The Republicans campaign to gather the names of the pioneers of the state, to preserve them for poster ity, and to bring the pioneers them selves together in a great reunion dur ing the early part of 1921 received a gratifying response yesterday. The blanks which are being carried in The Republican each morning are being sent in from every part of the state, although there has hardly been suf- ficient time for information concern ing the plan to be disseminated thoroughly throughout Arizona.
 The names sent to The Republican to date have shown not only the ad- visibility of attempting to preserve the annals of the past as they are con tained in the lives and memories of the old timers of the state, but the very need for such an undertaking.

ROYAL EMBLEM FROM CRAVE

Napoleon was not saVlsIleu with the fleur- -de-lis, when he came to the throne of France. as royal emblem. He desired something more ancient, and in seeking it he saw what was SUD- posed to be a handful of gold bees, their wings encrusted with a red stone of no great value. but rich in it's pure crimson.
 The "bees" were scattered on a green cloth, and Napoleon inquiring into their origin, was told they had been found in the grave of Childeric when it was opened in 1853. This was ancient enough for the new emperor, and he ordered that they be adopted as the inn perial emblem forthwith.
 The facts are, that what was held to be golden bees were in reality mere commentators scattered on the har- ness of horses, especially war horses, so that in parades they would glitter as much as their mailed masters. A few bearing what was thought to be wire legs were in reality those that retained the wire devices for fastening them to the leather or trappings. They have l since been known as 'fleurons."

 For one thing, you become self conscious and that elaborate movement of hands, shoulders and eyebrows by which alone French can be spoken sat- isfactorily becomes ridiculous and iin- possible. For another, the jeering face of your compatriot is a cintinuous re- hinder of your blunders. Or if you are that extraordinary person, an American who really can talk French correctly and fluently, then the wrath is on the companions side, who must listen foolishly and silently. Just why it should irritate one to hear French jabbered well by compatriot, MT. Beerbohm does not attenlut to explain. From the New York Tribune.

ENGLISH LANDED ESTATES GO

Many of the big estates of English landholders, which have given to the countryside of Great Britain that charm of Old World atmosphere which has made it so attractive to tourists. are doomed, according to London newspa- pers, if the recent tendency in the real estate market in the British Isles con- tinues.
 Heavy taxation, according to these papers, has compelled many old fam lilies to dispose of their vast acres, and while the estates are being eagerly bought, in few cases is an effort made by the new owners to retain them in their entirety. As a result, England bids fair to become in the not distant
