Plague OF the Bonus

THE Republican majorities OF the House
1 and Senate are profoundly concerned
over the insistent demand of certain
service interests for the payment OF Il cash
bonus To former soldiers and sailors. These
majoriiies have placed themselves in
most embarrassing position and they are
now struggling hopelessly in an effort to
cXIricate themselves from a predcament

service men generous gratuity out of the
Federal treasury. They aroused hope in

otherwise committed themselves so de-
cisiveiy upon the question that it now has
become dangerous thing politically for
them to change front. To fail to grant the
bonus so easily promised is to bring upon
the heads OF the majority leaders the fury

A. P. Browning. a cannery boss at Loring, was stabbed to death re- gently by Mexican employe, dying shortly after his injuries were re- ceived. The Mexicans were drink ing tequila in the bunkhouse and Browning interfered. Julio Figu- arc, who was foreman last year and jealous of Browning, who took his place, chased Browning out of the house and in a fist fight forced him against the side of the building, |stabbing him in the groin while holding him helpless. The Mexican employees in the canneries in South eastern Alaska are giving the au- thorities more or less trouble each year.

JUNEAU COMMISSIONER
 DENOUNCES ROAD LAWS

That the Second, Third and Fourth divisions are not alone in their resentment and opposition to the craftily conceived road law pass ed by the last territorial legislature is clearly indicated in the following scathing denunciation of the law and the uses to which it is being put, recently received by Commis- sioner Barney Gibney of Nome from P. J. Wiley of Juneau, chairman of Divisional Road Board No. 1. Com missioner Wiley says:
 T most heartily agree with you in reference to our territorial road laws. I think it should be left ab- solutely with the Territory to look after it's own roads. If we are not capable of looking after our own roads, we had better go back to a commission form of government, similar to the one recommended by former President Taft.

OUR WORST ENEMIES.

However much we may argue that steamship rates and other extrane- ous influences are the principal de- terrents to local development and progress, it requires no more than ordinary discernment, says the Nome Nugget, to see that one of the most potent factors in holding back de- velopment in this section is the re- grettable penchant for pickering and fault-fnding among ourselves.
 Instead of pulling together like sensible, level-headed people, those who should have the largest interest in promoting the development of the district are divided into self seeking factions, devoted more to venting party jealousies and politi- cal and personal ax-grinding than to the welfare of the community, and hopelessly at odds with every thing but themselves.
 The community cannot prosper under such conditions. From of old it is written, the house divided against itself is doomed to fall. Un- til we consent to leave off this atti- tude of mutual jealousy and dis trust, stop our petty fault-finding and cast aside some of the bump tious egotism which imbues many of our leading citizens with the fatuous idea that they know it all, just so long will we find develop ment languishing and the town go- ing to rot.
 We have immense resources await ing exploitation in our hills and valleys and the sea, but it is idle to expect them to develop into pro- ductive industries when those who should be taking leading part in making them profitable are dangling and quarreling with the abandon of a brace of town cats.
 We are our own worst enemies concludes the editor of the Seward peninsula paper, but most of us are too filled with self-conceit to see it

INFLUENCE.

The worst thing that can happea to a man is to start life with in fluence. So declared Charles M. Schwab in a talk to Princeton stu dents upon how to succeed in busi- ness. Young fellows who excuse their failure on the score of having no influential friends to give them boost get cold comfort from MT. Schwab, who has come up from the ranks, and who now goes so far as to advise any young man who has an influence not to use it to get a start. MT. Schwab laid down as the first fundamental of a success full life, "Unimpeachable integrity" Character is the biggest asset in business. A whole array of brill iant qualities will not take the place of this cornerstone of enduring sue cess. The whole tenor of Mir. Schwab's heart-to- heart talk, points out the editor of Leslie's, was new emphasis on the old-fashioned quail ties of loyal, industry and persist ence. The young man who possesses these traits is bound to succeed, for opportunity was never so great as it is today. No industry is more highly organized than the steel in- dustry, yet with all the progress made in the last twenty years, the industry is far from it's zenith. Sc great is the magnitude of modern industry in all branches that oppor. tunities for leadership, instead o1 decreasing as some imagine, have actually decreased in proportion a: industry itself has grown.

lof Siberia. We do not expect our capitalists, of course, to go in for I"co-operation" themselves. But they will have to learn enough about it to avoid false steps in dealing with Siberia.
 The trade in Siberia is run all most entirely by the large co-opera- tives. The foreign trade of Soviet Russia is monopoly of the Soviet government. Whatever arrangement is finally made between Siberia and Russia, any outsider talking busi- ness will have to deal with groups that do business for the service of their nation and not for profit.

FOR SIBERIAN TRADE.

The next big move of business in the whole field of world trade will be the connection of Soviet Russia and Siberia with our Pacific coast Either San Francisco or Se- attle, believes the Seattle Union Record, is going to get this busi- ness.
 The business men of the coast have been blind, continues the Se- attle paper. They recognize to some extent the importance of Siberian trade; but they haven't the slight. est notion of how to get it. They are still behind the insane raids on Russians, which will leave an after taste of bitterness in the souls of many thousands of our next possi- ble customers.
 Down in San Francisco, the Cham Der of Commerce is torn between the rival claims of an "ambassa- dor" of Kolchak and another from Semenoff. The latter promises them guides, interpreters, and all facili- ties in Siberia and Mongolia, quite Ignoring the fact that Mongolia is still part of China, and that the strategic points of Siberia are un. der soviet control.
 If the business men of Seattle have any vision, they will begin tc study "co-operative" ideas, and pre- pare to deal with the co-operatives
