AN EXAMPLE OF TYRANNY BY A
TRANSIENT MAJORITY.
Dr. Willis Fletcher Johnson, (lire urn hr the "Af
fairs of the World" in the February North America!
Review, declare,?:
Another equally flagrant example of un
American extremes has been displayed in the
supremely important field of our educational
activities. At one side of the continent, in
New York, we have seen impassioned cam
paigns for sacrosanct “freedom of teaching"
which would permit officially chartered
schorls and even instructors in public schools
to teach all sorts of Communistic, Bolshevis
tic and oilier anti-American doctrines, in
spiring American children to enmity toward
the American Republic anil its Government.
At the other side, in Oregon, we have
just seen an attempt, actually embodied in
enacted legislation, to compel tho attendance
of all children at public schools, and thus
the abolition of all private schools and homo
instruction. It is difficult to choose between .
the two, in their .-heir unworthineen of a
place in th.• American system. But though
such a thing was perhaps of ull things furth
est from the thought and Intents of the Ore
gon legislators, there is a sigificant correla
tion between the two. The Oregon law
would practically remove children from par
ental control and make them the wards of
file State, to lie intellectually manhandled
as might suit the interests of the political
party in power; and that is precisely what
Communists and Bolshevists demand to he
done.
That ruch a law will be held consti
i tutlonul i »:•,Imply inconceivable. If by
miraculous chance it should bo. there would
be more Tirgcnt need of prompt amendment
of the Constitution than wo have often
hitherto known.
A stronger argument again t too many regulative
laws could not will be made. Intolerant and tllogica
associations and blocs, such a1 the Ku Klux Klat
and the scattering Communist organizations, will fal
of .their own weight in the course of time. The;
flourish for day and disappear. We have had them
1 ny cf them, in the past. We shall probably con
t nue to have them. They come and go like lat
frosts, doing harm for a season, hut there is alway
recovery.
However, when these faddists, agitators and dis
turbers succeed in getting laws on the statute hook
they leave ugly scars that last a long time—often a
long as some of those directly affected live. Orego:
will unquestionably suffer on account of her schoc
law. She is suffering already. People are leaving th
State or ©ending their children elsewhere to b
educated. Others who had contemplated moving t
Oregon are changing their minds. Laws dlrecte
against' the freedom of people to live in accordant'
with their own judgment and consciences as long a
they do not interfere with the rights of others neve
help any situation.
COMPULSORY VOTING.
The Fncisti in certain parts of Italy have decree
'that thore electors who refuse t > vote at election
must take castor oil. The reasoning behind the pur
Ithment is that only illness would prevent a citize
front casting his vote and that those who are i
tliould take castor oil.
Aside from the humor of the case this suggest
the often seriously proposed proposition in t hi
country Hint there should be a penalty for failin
to ex ere ire the Iran liit . It is very questionahl
whether or not good would result from oompulsor
voting. It C questionable whether u voter who dot
not lake sufficient interest in public affairs to vol
is a proper persons to have anything to do wit
running the government. ilis interest Is so sligl
that it is too much like leaving the selection <
officials to the throw of the dlcg That it a evert
body a duty to vote Is often said. True enough, if on
means h,\ that it is everybod> s duty to Inform himse
to that he may vote intelligently.
The Umpire favors absentee voting so that
might be easier for those who want to vole to do s
and tc attend to their business at the same tinu
but it is again t punishment for non-voting—eve
castor oil.
WELCOME TO THE LEGISLATORS.
The Umpire joins the others of Juneau in e>
tending to the members ot the Sixth Alaska Lew
lslaturc, all of whom will be In the city tonight,
hearty welcome to the Capital City. They will remai
here for the next sixty days, and we believe that w
speak for the entire community when we say to thei
that Juneau belongs to them during that period
that it is the desire ol the people of this city tha
they make themselves as much at home as they woul
be if they had lived her * all their lives.
Juneau take pride in the honor of being host
to these men. selected by their teilow citizens from a)
lections of the Territory to be their representatives
to make tii<ir laws and to provide lor the functioning
Of kite Territorial Government during the next twe
Ivoar. They are picked nien, among the very beet from
|| their various actions.
In a large way their interests and those of their
' constituent; ami those of Juneua are identical. All
1 of us are interested in efficient and fair government.
‘ in economy, In -ane progress and development. They
| will find that people of Juneau are as loyal to the
■best interests of Alaska—-of al! Alaska—as those oi
I any section ol the Territory. They will find that
the people of the Capital City are broad and unselfish
: in their attitude toward all things that concern the
■ great Territory in which we live. Therefore, there n
. no reason tinder the sun why tho next sixty day
should not lie pleasant and profitable to all concerned
and. ending, furnish recollections that will he eher
bind through life and work that will be of lasting
[ benefit to the entire Territory.
Kvery time an Alaska organization passes a reso
' lution in favor of abolishing the fish traps it putt
• an obstacle in the way of obtaining the only prac
ticable manner of handling the fisheries question.
And that is to .;ive the Alaska Legislature authority
to act in the premises. Congress will not abolish
tlio fish traps and it will not give Alaska the powet
to do so if it is thought she will do It.
it ap]r it - that Jack u^mpsey will not get
mad enough to fight for anything lens than
$500,000. A mere offer of $25,000 or $30,
000 would only make him tore.—(Kansas

is that why he didn't fight the Germans?

Big Year for Cordova.
(Cordova Times.)
i Cordova is on the eve of a big year! From th<
best information The Times Is able to Rather, thf
season just ahead is going to he the busiest in tht
history of the town. From the standpoint of new on
tcrprir.as, building construction, industrial activitj
and general development, there has never before beer
a year in which bo many and such varied under
takings were planned. Right now in sight are pro
jects whos" carrying out will moan an immediate
great increase n business, as well as improvement
of lasting benefit.
Every salmon cannery in the Prince William Sounc
district will bo grinding out its product tills summer
while the i lablishmciit of throe now herring salteries
will give a definite push to that industry The oral
cannery now being erected on the Cordova dock will
be in operation tills season.
Resumption of activities in the Bering River dis
tricts, and the building of the dock of the Alaska
Anthracite Railroad at Controller Bay, will mean a sub
stantial development from which Cordova will prolit
The completion of the oil refinery at the Chilkat Oil
Company's properties promises the manufacture of new
products and development of more business in that
direction
I The Kenueeott and Eatouche mines are bein'j
| operated on full time and with full crews, production
I being maintained at high levels.
| The outgrowth of the fox-farming industry
| throughout the district is becoming monthly a more
substantial and permanent source of business.
All these, the already established enterprises, arc
looking forward to a busy and 'profitable year. But
there are new proceedings under way that are no
less important to Cordova.
All signs point this year to an unprecedented
tourist season. Every steamship and transportation
line is making plans to take care of traffic several
times what it lias been before. F. It. Knickerbocker,
. of the Alaska Steamship Company, reports that in
I (luiries concerning Alaska so far have numbered five
i to one over any previous season.

Tlie Eyak road will lie pushed to its completion
tliis summer. When it is finished this road will rival
the beautiful highways of Juneau and Seward in
pieturesqueness and interest by the way. As far as
now completed the read is unsurpassed in picturesque
ness, skirting as it docs one of the finett lakes ir
Alaska surrounded by abrupt and jagged peaks.
Besides the rumored new hotel and depot, othei
building directly In the town is being projected. A
new temple is now being planned by I lie Masonb
lodge, the structure lo be built on the lodge propertj
at tlie head of First Street. A new, thoroughly mod
ern apartment house is another building enterprisi
contemplated. A great and much needed improvemen
to the public school building will lie a new addltioi
lo he built 'this summer. And several new homes ari
now either under way or in process of planning.
Most important so far as tlie town and distric
is concerned will lie the beginning of the new Fed
oral Building. Bids for the construction will b
opened on May loth, and if accepted, ground will bi
broken at once for tlie new structure.
In all lilies of business a new lease of life Is belli)
felt. Every indication goes to show that prosperit;
is on tlie way. It is going to be a big year!
Prince Rupert Will Advertise.
j (Prince Rupert News.)
Tiie general interest taken throughout the countr;
I in The Pas dog team race is an example of the powe
!of advertising. The Pas is not an easily access!hi
8 j place nor is it a place that would ordinarily come int
sjlhe limelight. They have had, though, a goo
S i publicity agent who has kept the world posted on th
ej activity of the camp and the result lias been ilia
everyone knows of it and most people of a sportin
turn of mind aro interested in tlie dog team race
which are run every year over a two hundred mil
course.
Without advertising, the World Series bascbal
would not amount to anything. Already the news
paper.-, of the whole continent have been supplie
with nicely printed schedules of games for the base
c hall .' .i.ion and there has hern a good deal of advanc
f I copy sent out. This is a typo of davertteing tha
count* a great deal. It is begun early and aerrie
l cit all the time. There is no let up.
So it is with tiie big boxing matches.
Th
publicity is carefully planned and very expensive bu
it brings results.
Princ>- Rupert may copy the methods of the do
team ris ers and of the baseball magnates to some ex
tent. Sometimes free advertising can be secured bu
i' has to be carefully planned and skillfully executed
The difficulty is to get the time to undertake th
work. Mo-' men of ability are also busy people am
liann&t undertake the work. A publicity man i
w- rth a great deal to a place but if lie Is good he i
I an expensive person and a town this size finds it diffi
II cult to finance.
With the means at our disposal, however, some
j tiling can be done and is being done. We are keep
ing fairly well before the people of Canada but i
we could get what we have to offer placed seriousb
betoro the people who might help us financially ant
| Industrially it would lie putting us in a position ti
pi live whether what we have been saying about on:
advantage oxer other places is correct.
Kxperts forecast a big boom in business this year
Any boom of that kind has permission to cut out its
muffler. — (Chicago News.)
