ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE J. F. A. STRONG JOHN W. TROY, Editor. Telephune No. 3-7-1 Entered as second-class matter November 7, 1S?12 at the postolttce at Jti neau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: UL?e year, by mail $10.00 Six months, by mail 6.00 I'er month, delivered l-Oo THE ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD THE Grand Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood, which has just closed a four days' session in this city, is endeavoring in a spirit of conciliation, to cement the Brotherhood and not to dissolve it. The aim. as stated by the accredited representatives ol sixteen subordinate camps, in Alaska, is to restore the Order to its former prestige, to return to the basic principles that made it distinctly a brotherhood of the North in all that the term im-j plies. It is believed, and so it is urged, that the members of that Brotherhood who sought to establish camps outside the jurisdic tional boundaries, acted without authority and in contravention of the constitution. It is also believed that the plan that has been followed for years past of holding the annual conventions of the Grand Camp south of latitude 54 degrees and 20 minutes, has not been productive of the good results that were expected, inas much as these meetings were largely made up of members of the Brotherhood who had practically severed all relations ? business and social ? with the North, and the men who constitute the main stay. the backbone so to speak of the organization, had small voice in the direction of its affairs. The latter ? who, therefore, may be classed as real, bona fide residents ? believed that the in terests of the Brotherhood can be best subserved by keeping the] order within its prescribed bounds in all respects, thus preserving! it as an organization alone of its kind, and one in which all the people of the North may look upon as their own. It is hoj>ed that the differences that now exist will be speedily adjusted, and that all division will be lost in an effort to meet on the common ground of brotherhood in its truest and broadest sense. ' I consider that whatever belongs to my husband belongs to me," said a witness in a Jersey City trial ? the general feminine view and in practice the usual condition. MODERN JEREMIAHS IT IS easy to find fault. Some people go through life protesting against everything, mutable and immutable. They are apos tles of pessimism, and precursors of the ultimate smash of all things. Whatever is is wrong and they want to be the execu tors of all the optimistical tribe. They take delight in predicting direful disaster. If they look at the sun or the moon, in an un clouded sky, they do not see these orbs of the firmament. They see instead clouds and darkness, and instead of the music of the spheres they hear the thunder's roll and the ominous sound of a pent-up but soon to be unloosened storm. They are of the tribe of Jeremiah, the first of the pessimists, and their jeremiads are just as doleful as those of the man whose lamentations have come down to us through the ages. These modern Jeremiahs are confined to no country or clime. They are universal. They flourish alike in seasons of prosperity and ad versity, though to them there is no time of prosperity. Every day is cold and dark and dreary. The United States is a prosperous country today. There is a promise of abundant crops. There is a demand for most kinds of labor. Wages are generally better than at any time in the his tory of the nation, and yet there are now to be found any num ber of Jeremiahs who are proclaiming panic from the housetops with much lachrymoseness and exceeding great garrulity. They do not like the present National administration and they would drown Congress with their tears of reproach. It may be noted, in passing, however, that these men are optimists turned pessimists. While they basked in the sun of special privilege, for many years all the world to them had a golden hue. But with the passing of privilege and the threatened overthrow of their plunderbunds have come days of gloom, and instead of the many fat years of! prosperity which were for them, they can see now only years of re lentless famine. It is fortunate that the country at large has learned not to take the lugubrious predictions of the modern Jeshuruns with much seriousness. Their wails indicate that they themselves have been kicked from their seats among the mighty and the pow er they once exercised in the councils of the Nation, and the glory that but yesterday was their has departed, and their cries of dis tress will find but few responsive chords in the bosoms of the great mass of the American people. TEN YEARS OF FOREIGN TRADE THE fiscal year which closed last Monday saw this nation's for eign trade for the first time above $4,000,000,000. Our ex ports amounted to $2,500,000,000, an increase of 72 per cent, in ten years. Our imports passed $1,750,000,000, an increase of nearly 7G per cent. The total, $4,250,000,000, is an increase of 74 per cent. Germany was already $170,000,000 ahead of us in 1903 and is probably still ahead, but with a slightly lower percentage of in crease. France is far behind, and all other countries except Great Britain, whose commerce never more prosperous than now, may this year reach $6,000,000,000. British commerce in the census year 1911 had increased 46 per cent, in ten years. However, in proportion to population or wealth, Great Britain, Germany and France all have a foreign trade far exceeding our. Our foreign commerce is about $44.25 per person ; Great Britain's was in 1911 $122.50. Argentine, with a 146 per cent, increase of commerce in ten years, has $90 per person. Canada, with an 85 per cent, increase in ten years, had in 1912 $112 per person. It would not be surprising, now that we are about to cease the policy of fighting off commerce with the tariff club, to see it grow even more rapidly than in the past decade.
