CORDOVA, ALASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 5,1915
Why not call it the Trench war!
-;o:
Petrograd professes to be happy still, though hrebt Ideas
l'rom sprinting.
-:o:
“Let the navigator beware” might not be a bad rule for all
to follow in the mined seas.
—-- -:o:
The Alaskan’s knock is always a boost. The next prac
tical demonstration will take place on April 6.
-: o:
The ladies of Cordova are athletically inclined, as is evi
denced by the organization of a gymnazium club.
-: o:
Senator Norris says that if Villa knew how unprepared the
United States was In* would capture the country in two weeks,
S ’enough!
-:o:
Late reports from the Chisana are to the effect that new
pay is being found in that camp. Here’s hoping that all the
boys there strike it rich.
•am
-:o:
The editor of an exchange declares that if mince pies an* to
be swept away by the prohibition wave now rolling over the
country, that he is with the “wets.”
-;o:-•
Tampering with Uncle Sum’s mail has gotten a Katalla
ite into the meshes of the law, and he will likely have ample
time in the federal jail to repent of his folly.
-:o:
It may be considered flattering for the powers to ask the
United States to pull chestnuts out of the lire, but we’re awfully
busy just now trying to crack a few of our own.
S ---:o:
Even if they put striped suits on soldiers in Europe to make
them more invisible to the enemy it is probable that many of
them will not feel more like prisoners than they do now.
-: o:
The German ambassador probably missed the target when
he said that submarines are being manufactured for the allies.
But he could have hit the mark with reference to any other kind
of war supplies.
The Alaskan is resorting to its usual tactics of trying to
discredit the People’s Ticket for city council. This was to be
expected, as it does not contain the names of any of the weak
lings that paper controls.
--: o:
a ne oamonua o-uour law ior women lias been upheld as
predicted. An 8-liour law for women, though it has its injur
ious aspects both to employer and employe, has its commend
able values, too, and probably is fully justified.
• -:0.
Alaskans are certainly entitled to preference when it comes
to selecting men for the construction of our government rail
road, and one method of procedure to bring about this result
is outlined in our local columns today.
-:o:
The “Rule or Ruin” crowd is in desperate straits because
it cannot get anybody to run on a councilrnanic ticket with
Goodall, Boyle, et ah, and be compelled to bear the additional
burden of having the support of our contemporary.
-:o:
It is getting worse and worse. There’s terrible fighting
near Szezuezyn, Pryzasnysz, and Mezolaborcz. A mutiny in
the dictionary is reported from the neighborhood of Msclit
schonow. All is reported ominously quiet in the neighborhood
of Oyster Bay.
-:o :■
The personal attacks being made upon the candidates for
the city council on the People’s Ticket, as well as their friends
by an unreliable and discredited sheet, is bound to prove a
boomerang, and result in the election of the entire ticket by an
overwhelming majority.
-:o:
A United States Senator declared that under the present
system it would take Uncle Sam 18 years to make enough am
munition to use in all our coast artillery for an hour’s shelling.
If the European nations had'followed Uncle Sam’s lead the big
war would have been of few hour’s duration.
-!fl •
The report that an Austrian soldier got 40 cents for each
Russian he persuaded to become a prisoner inspires the idea
that the war might be settled on a cash basis. Why shouldn’t
each nation use the billions it is spending to kill and maim,
by offering bonuses to the enemy to become prisoners.
-:o:
When the bosses get through holding private caucuses
the Citizen’s ticket will be made public, and if all of them in
sist on running the ticket is likely to contain the names of
Eddie Boyle, Charley Goodall, C. M. Frazier, Ed. Currier, Jack
O’Brien, H. P. Burkhardt and the editor of the Alaskan.
•-: o:
Prof. Usher’s book, “Pan-Germanism,” which is being
widely read, and which was written a couple of years ago,
forecasts the events that have been written into history in the
last half year. If there is anything to the theory of suggestion
producing action he may be said to have ushered in the affair.
-:o:
According to the Alaskan the personal qualification of a
candidate for city councilman does not‘count for much, and
we don’t suppose it will when the Citizen’s ticket is launched.
But with the voters it is different, and for that reason the ma
jority of them are going to support the People’s Ticket, which
is composed of men of ability and integrity.
Governor Strong made some excellent recommendations
in liis message to the territorial legislature, which it would
be well for that body to heed.
--:o:
The predicted “greatest struggle in the history of Cor
dova” is turning out to be mostly cheap talk, which failed to
nrouse the expected strife in the community. The voters are
going to give their undivided support to the councilmanic
ticket composed of seven good citizens nominated at Wednes
day night’s caucus.
—--:o:
The report of the Alaska Engineering Commission was de
uivered to Secretary Lane yesterday, who is carefully consid
< ding it before transmitting the report to President Wilson
with his recommendations. The latter’s decision as to the
route or routes to he selected is anxiously awaited and it is
confidently believed that this important information will be
given within a few days.
-:o:
It was interesting to read in last night’s Alaskan why the
slot machines in the Third division have been removed. No
explanation was necessarv so far as Cordovans are concerned'.
They h card tli echarges read at a recent public hearing, when
Judge Brown directed the district attorney to take what ac
tion was considered necessary, after his attention had been
called to tin* matter.
