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.
