KEEP ALASKA FREE
From the Juneau Daily Alaska
Dispatch; The primary and under
lying principle of the non-partisaa
movement in this division is fair
play, and the right of representa
tion in the territorial legis'ature by
all the factors and elements now
working out our political and indus
trial development.
It is not the off-spring of the
mining interests; it is no» the child
of the fishing interests; it is not
the instrument of the mercantile
and trading interests; it is not the
creature of the professional class;
and it is not the agent of the labor
ing people. But it is the natural
Teeult of an earnest, patriotic and
characteristically Alaskai: desire
by people engaged in all of these
pursuits to keep the law-making of
Alaska clean and free from contam
ination by any predatory or venal
interest. Nor is it designed us a
subtle means of worming into the
control of federal appointments, or
party dictation; for in its conven
tions and on its tickets are men of
all parties and every shade of politi
cal opinion. And on matters of
national or partisan interest these
men are perfectly free to follow
their political beliefs without re
straint or embarrassment. The only
compact the non-partisan nominees
have with one another ie that they
will, if fleeted, work shoulder to
shoulder in an effort to give a
square deal to everybody, and leg
islate for the sood of Alaska and
protect the interests of this
division.
Great Literaru Achiev
ment Likely to
Follow War
By Professor BRANDHR MATTHEWS*
Columbia University
A GREAT war often causes what
I may term a stiffening of
the public will, and FROM
THIS SPIRIT SPRINGS GREAT
LITERARY ACHIEVEMENT.
The history of literature offers
many striding
examples. Cer
tainly this is a
great war, and
following it we
may expect a
great creative
epoch.
THE LITER
ATURE FOL
LOWING THE
PRESENT
CONFLICT, IT
SEEMS TO ME.
WILL TAKE THfc f«KH Ul" UHA
MA. THE LITERARY PRODUCT
WHICH HAS FOLLOWED THE
GREAT WARS OF HISTORY HAS
INVARIABLY BEEN DRAMA. THE
WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE AND
HIS CONTEMPORARIES FOLLOW
ING THE VICTORIES OF GREAT
BRITAIN ARE, OF COURSE, A
STRIKING EXAMPLE. THE SAME
18 TRUE OF ANCIENT GREECE,
AND MANY OTHER INSTANCES
MAY BE POINTED OUT.
The literature which may follow
the war is not likely, in my opin
ion, to take the form of the novel.
When there is a contest as to
whether the novel or the drama will
be the chief form of literary ex
pression one or the other mast go
tinder. There is no reason to be
lieve, judging from the jesson of
the past, that the literature follow
ing ahis war will be an exception to
tie rule. . __a

BUSINESS MEN TO ACT
AS SPECIAL TEACHERS
Chicago, Oct. 24—Business men
from various concerns will give bus*
kess tips to Chicago school chil
dren this winter, under a program
announced today by John B. Sbooip,
assistant superintendent of public
schools.
"The idea is to stimulate boys
and girls to a desire for business,"
said Shoop. "From short talks by
business men they will get a touch
of character not obtainable from
blackboards and school books. There
is much to be gained by bringing
the oupils Into contact with business
man."
The Association of Commerce will
eo-operate with school authorities
in •aiaking the "business lectures'"
a success.
