A LAST REMINDER.
It is not too late to remind the Legislature again
that the appropriations should be hold down to the
ae ual needs of an efficient but economical govern
ir. nt and that taxation should be limited to the ap
pi iprlafinos thus arrived at.
It is well to go lurther and remember that groat
peoples as well as great people have often resulted
in large measure from going without many things
that wore dosireable.
The people of Alaska can well afford to go with
out many things if that is necessary to prevent the
creation of an idea that we have set out to punish
those who have Invested money in the Territory for
the development of her resources. We want more
people with moro capital for investment, and the
host way to get thad. it through people who are
pleased with Alaskan investments already made.
MR. TOWNLEY RECANTS.
A. C. Toiwnley. organizer of the Non-Partisan
League, has recanted. Ho has arrived at the con
clusion that State Socialist is a failure, and that
the Federal Govcrnmnet would also fail.
Air. Townley has changed ills mind on this
proposition as a result ol' tile try-out of Socialism
and State ownership and control in North Dakota.
In a recent statement to (amis Selbold, the New
York political writer, Mr. Townley declared:
We succeeded in getting control of the
North Dakota State government, but the
5 enterprise was not successful. We strove
manfully, but 1, for one, became convinced
that there are forces in the economic system
more powerful than the state, which make
it Impossible for State enterprise to succeed.
Some of my friends, most of them, I fear,
still cling to their old beliefs. They think
that if the stale cannot succeed, the Federal
Government can. I don't. I believe that the
only way price fixing on farm products can
be successfully accomplished in America Is
by the farmers themselves. My motto Is
each man to his trade, and the trade of the
farmers Is agriculture.
The experience of Mr. Townley’s State Is the
f-nme ae that of other countries. Socialism has failed
wherever tried, in America or in Kurope, and Mr.
Townley is different from others only in that, he
frankly admits the error of his way.
AMERICA LEADING IN FINE ARTS.
Following the decision of tne English Society of
Architects that American architecture is leading the
■world at the present time comes Hugh Walpole dis
tinguished English novelist and lecturer, to say that
New York Is now the artistic and musical center or
the world.
In announcing the establishment of a scholarship
and requiring ut least a six months’ trip to the
United States for observation the English Society of
Arehlteots says that American architects lead the
world in arriving at a satisfactory combination of
utility and beauty. It continues.
The caroful adaptation of detail in the
best American architecture to the idea of
service has induced a simplicity and clean
directness that are in themselves outstanding
qualities of beauty. There is a restraint,
rationality, balance and clearness of design
in the most characteristic examples of Am
erican architecture that give it a spirituality
of its own.
On the heels of this tine tribute to American
architecture comes Air. Walpole with the declaration
noted. London, lie says, has lost Its claims to lead
ership, lor it Is still living in tlie days of the war,
and the atmosphere there, as in I’aris. Berlin, Petro
grad and Vienna, is one of restless political and
economic uncertainty; while, financially, those cities
are unable to compete with the United States in gen
eral and New York in particular.
Now York, on the other hand, lias a vibrant, en
thusiastic, forward looking, optimistic atmosphere,
which, combined with physical prosperity and finan
cial competence, is attracting to It the best of t,he
world’ OHi’lists and musicians and inspiring them to
-tlielr (best work.
Mr. Walpole continues:
I intend to visit America every year here
after to enjoy the aristic and muiscal op
portunity which New York offers, and to feel
the vitality, the inspiring enthusiasms of
its atmonphcrc. The United States lacks, of
course, many of the things that Europe can
offer. Those things, in my belief, will not
be found here for hundreds of years yet.
All aspiring American writers should visit
Europe for its historical background. Its
tradition, its rich memories. Its artistic heri
tage. They should not live there, however.
That would be \<ry bad, for they would lose
Pbe influence of the American renaissance.
The arcendenev of Now York, is just
another illustration of the artistic tendency
■that has been manifest in all history. Wher
| ever the money goes, art and music soon
fallcnti The money must be there first.
Wlieiv a young or newly strong country .ac
cumulates a lot of money, all the artists
naturally deEiro to secure a part of it for
themselves and they flock there from all
parts oi the world. It was so in France
and Italy. That was what happened in the
Elizabethan era in England. Now it is New
York that Is offering the opportunities.
London is not what it used to be. Ixin
don no longer has even opera. The famous
Oovent Garden, once one of the world's
greatest opera houses, is now supporting a
jazz show, which, I understand, Is one of the
worst. Paris has lust its artistic glamour.
Petrograd is, of course, impossible. And
Vienna—I went to Vienna last year to
hear some music. It was so depressing In
all of Its physical aspects that I could stand
it only a week.
It Is only natural that this stimulus
which has made New York the artistic
center of the world, that has 'brought there
the finest artists and musicians, with the
best in musical and dramatic productions,
will naturally react favorably on American
literature. It will produce a richness of
experience, a joy of living that cannot but
be an inspiration to fine creative literary
work.
Mr. Walpole paid high tribute to American writ
ers, declaring that they are making excellent use
of the novel as a vehicle to convey to ithose across
tne Atlantic the facts necessary to serve an In
creasing demand to know more about American life.
Canada’s Oriental Problem.
(Prince ttupert News.)
The Oriental problem is being taken up by the
Government of Canada and negotiations are going on
with Japan with a view to an amicable settlement
without abrogating the agreement between that coun
try and Great Britain. It is to be assumed that if
no arangement can be arrived at otherwise, then the
Anglo-Japanese treaty will have to be abrogated.
While v e all admire the onrgy, industry and patriot
ism of tho Japanese people wo object to an invasion
of our country by them for a number of reasons
which have often before been stated. The chief of
these is the economic pressure rom people who have
ja diffrent standard of living which causes tne white
| workers to have to compete unfairly. The western
I representatives in the House of Commons understand
thtse conditions fully and are stating them frankly
and forcibly. The member for this district is one
of those who are on the jab in this respect. Mr
S.tork was one of those iwho led the fight for the
reduction of the Japanese fishing licenses with out
stalnding success. We believe that the people of the
west are with him, with the exception only of those
who have interests at stake which may suffer from
l t.ho elimination of Oriental labor in the fishing in
I dustry.
Alaska Juries.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)
Two measures before the Legislature at this time
have to do with juries in the courts of Alaska. One
of these is the women’s jury bill, giving the fairer
|sex the right to sit on juries in all courts of the
Territory . The other provides a new method of se
lecting jurors in 'both the Districa and Commissioner’s
court. Both measures should be enacted.
The women, overwhelmingly, at tlie polls, indi
cated their desire to sit on juries. Very well, they
should have tho privilege. Also, women should have
tlie right to claim exemption on account of sex, if
they so see fit. It should never be forgotten that
.there are times and conditions, physical and mental,
when most women, or at leabt many women, would
not want to sit on juries, and they should not, under
any circumstances 'be placed in the indelicate posi
tion of being compelled to stand up in court and
enumerate specifically their reasons. The mere fact
that they express a desire to be excused should be
sufficient.
As to the new method of selecting jurors in all
courts; that is, to have them drawn from the box
Instead of any venires being surtimoned by the Mar
shals or other officers, the Legislature should not
hesitate. And there is no doubt that no one would
welcome such a measure us muoh as the officers whose
duty it is to summon special venires. It is a duty
which no matter how fairly performed can escape en
tirely the criticism of litigants or bystanders. The
proposed law would relive them of any suspicion or
accusations of ’’packing juries.”
The Harding Platform.
(San Francisco Journal.)
General Charles G. Dawes, an upstanding, simon
pure American, ventures the opinion that the central
plank on which the Republican administration will
be returned to office is the elimination of government
by minorities.
This statement touches the most vital question
now confronting tile democratic countries of the
world. If government by the people is to endure
it must be protected from the confusion and waste
caused by interference from intolerant minorities
with tlie Idea of representative rule. The issue is
'not a sectional one. A few days ago Mussolini had
I to drop from his cabinet three men whose allegiance
; to tlie populist party took precedence over their al
jlegiance to Italy. Every other country has its share
(of these near-sighted partisans, half-baked intel
lectuals and irresponsible doctrinaires. Every gov
ernment has its advocates of intolerance and force,
its mercenaries and small intriguers who wish to
supplant representative rule with some nostrum or
other of their own.
American relief workers arrested in Russia as a
i spy says that during the eighteen days he was in
prison ninety-two political prisoners were shot. That
,ls an average of more/ than five a day and in only
one prison. No wonder Cardinal Merrier Wants to
! start a crusade against the Russian Bolshevists to
wipe out their barbarism and s&fegaurd civilisation.
