WE CAX BIT WON T
In his memorauudin submitted to
President Wilson, Secretary of Com
merce Redfield spoke of tho "false
doctrine of American inability to
compete." There is no such doc
trine, there never has been, and
Mr. Redfield knows it. He has
put u;> a straw adversary in order
to make a display of knocking it
dowu. American ingenuity, Am
erican enterprise and American la
bor have the ability to compete with
any nation on earth, on equal terms.
Thty CAX compete on equal terms,
but they WOX T.
Now Mr. Redfield, and President
Wilsou, please take note of the
difftreuce. We have the ability
but we haven't the inclination. The
American laborer CAN live on the
same wages and under the same
conditions as the European and
the Asiatic, but he WON'T. And
we are proud of him. American in
dustries CAN thrive under the sam«i
conditions as iudustrits in countries
of low-paid labor, but they WON'T.
Wo art also proud of the captains
cf American indusrry.
There are some American states
men who would like to force Am
erican labor to accept European
and A.-i tic standards. They tried
»o put that over, and us a result
we had long bread line s t d vast
armies of unemployed in 1913-14.
You think you denucr&ts cub do
that airain, Mr. Redfieid, but you
cai.'i. When it comes to a ques
tion of "inability." you are up
again-1 it. You simply CAN'T put
!♦ over agaiu.
ROBINS ARE COMIN(i
In the immortal wcrds of Sam
Wall, the robins are ccming. Sam
was wise. He kuew the robius would
roiurti every spring, and every time
he made tae prediction it cama true
And the same old forecast can be
made in Yukon this spring with uo
fear of failure. Despite the great
storms that ha\e swept the conti
nent, despite the world wide wa.
and the turmoil and stress on every
hand, the robius will be back to
Dawson ou time. Their coming is
not sc much the event as it is that i
with them comes the spring. Ah.!
there's the thing—the awakening of
I the year. Klondike has known in
j'hese twenty years—a full round
two score of cleanup seasons have
come to old Klondike. The music
rises from the singing wators as
they ripple over the golden, riffles,
tho clink of the shovel on the pay
gravels soon will be heard again.
The Klondike haa not tho thousands
j of individual miners it once had,
; liu* * !■ has a dozen, gTeat gold dredg
ing machines, each of which handles
more gravel in a day than ton
thousand men coul^ shovel in the!
same time, and it has great hy
draulic plants that tear down grav
el with greater avidity than the
hungriest dredge.
Tomorrow the first shop work be
gins at the Boyle plant, to pre
pare f.le mammoth, dredges. A lit
tle later other shops and plants
will surt. * Klondike will not be
idle this year. Business as usual
is the program. The Canadian
Kloudvke and the Yukon Gold will
employ therr hundreds of men; the
North-West Corporation Is expected
to start big works soon; the cop
per, silver, coal, antimony and
othcT mines of Yukon will be bu,sy.
Yuk.n is on the map to stay—the
robins are corninj and will con
tinue to como to Yukon as long as
sunshine and seasons are on the
bill of fare.—Dawscu News.

the A'.banlaus and foT many other'
persons. Practically ho appeals am I
received for the C«c rrnans, Pre
sumably tlie German. Americans are
taking care of this work without
makiux any systematic public can
vass through the newspapers.
The people of thv United States
are used to appeals for the Armen
ians. It seems these have been
coming regularly through, mission
ary societies and other sources for
a good many years. One wonders
there are any Armenians left
with ajl the recurrent and oft-re
peated reports of wholesale massa
cres. The Armenians seem like old
friends, almost, amU't the clash or
battJe aud misery of war. Ap
peals for the Hindus and for the
Chinese have become loss Insistent
with the domand cf funds for Eu
rope, aud the barbarian tribes of
Africa aud South America Beem to
have been lost sigh', of altogether.
It may be comforting for many
to kuow that along with the Am
erican bullets which ".re shipped to
kill the father goes money or oth
er contribution, ivc ♦ he, widow and
orphan. Whilst we may kill for
the sake of profit no one can
deuy that we are no at least lav
ish la our expenditure of the re
turn-. - Sfu |
Another t&ougnt wnicm occurs iu
connection with all this giving and
the constant appeals cecters about
the commercial vlc'lms at home.
W'hai about them? Almost every
day the burden of telegraph news
carries items about some woman
who lias killed herself and children
bjtaute of hideous poverty, of
some unfortunate p:rl who has talc
en lu-r life because of the loss
of a oosition, and A poverty trag
edies in many different forms. And
some of these pe&ule needed such
a pit'fnJ little, to make their condi
tion bearable; just the right
to work for a mere pittance is all
seme cf them asked. Yet we con
tinue to talk of millions and bil
lions for warfare, without asking
one c&nt for assisitng the
great inudstrial army. Really, it
is difficult to get u;> much enthu
siasm for distress al:oad with the
knowledge of the tr. i,edles at home
pounded Into our iuner conscious
nesses day after day.—Dispatch.
HE LIKED THE SOUP
A Mississippi member of congress
is telling a good story on himself.
For son'e weeks past he ha3 been
receiving letters by almost every
mail frim one of his constituents
asking him to send him seme of
the free seed sent out each year
by the congressman and making an
especial appeal for peas. Finally, j
the demand for peaa became so 1
large from this constituent, that
the member of oongress wrote the
applicant In these terms: "1 am
sending you half a dozen more
packages of peaa, as you requested.
Say, what are you trying to do
down there, plant the whole state
to peas?" A few days later he
got this reply: "No, X am not j
planting them. They make bully
soup. Send along eome more."
A Mighty Mountain Rango.
Mount Everest is guarded from ap
proach oil either side by Tibet nud Ne
pal.-undoubtedly the two most iuac>
cessible countries In tlie entire earth.
The mountain range between Everest
and Kanchlnjunga contains a series of
very high mountains, several of them
over 23,000 feet The lowest of the
mountains in this range nre higher
than St Ellas, in North America.
