Whether the coal-heaving incident holds in store pedestals in the Hall of Fame or cells in the penitentiary for certain gentlemen of Cordova, depends not so much or the nature of the act itself as! on whether the game of heaving Canadian coal into the harbor succeeds | If the policy wins, they will be heroes and men of public| or not. spirit; if it loses they will be riff-raff and a menace to the community— at least in the general esteem. The man who would aspire to be a hero, had better realise that there is no assurance that he will not be adjudged a knave. The inodern Hampden who with dauntless. breast the little tyrant ot his fields withstands usua!ly ends up in the police court as a con- tributor to the taxes, and a target for the police court humorist. Lucky indeed is he if he manage to divide public, opinion into equal praise and censure like that famous Earl of Claverhouse, who to one group of historians is ‘bonnie Dundee,” and to the other ‘‘bloody Clavers.’ Heroism like the menial act, depends-upon the spirit in which it is performed. No man is truly abased, save in his own eyes; no candi- date for heroism may safely count on more than the endorsement of his own conscience. Napoleon’s comment on the crowds that cheered his triumphal entry into Paris, crystallises the common experience of the hero. Even T. Roosevelt, Esq., who has come as near to being national idol as any man living, knows what it is to receive the cold mitten from the crowds that but a few months before acclaimed him. Northern British Columbia is interested in the possible develop- ments of the Cordova coal party. Like Alaska, Northern British (Columbia is a vast coal-field. Like Alaska most of it is in thehands of the coal grabbers and monopolists. Like the people of Cordova, the people of Northern British Columbia are irnporting coal from a distance and paying exorbitant prices, while our coal fields are untouched. No one suggests that the situation in British Columbia has reached the aggravated state that reigns in Alaska, but it is bad enough to make us take a deep interest in the Cordovan affair. Lloyd-George has taught the people of England to sing with meaning, ‘‘God made the land for the people.” This may seem an absurd doctrine to those folk who believe God made it for the land grabber and the coal speculator, but the doctrine has taken root in England, and seems to be a not unpopular belief arnong the settlers in Alaska. Throwing good coal into the harbor is about as sensible a way of showing how mad one feels, as stamping one’s feet on the pavement or smashing one’s own crockery. But, as an outburst of rebellion at a very real grievance, it is not to be laughed at. Besides, the whirligig of chance and Time may yet transform those hot-headed coal-heavers into Fathers of their Country. yerlebationat Seite tol SOE ToL ol fel Jot etal ed iet io REPAIRS, CARBONS RIBBONS ETc.
