PRICE OF A GOOD TIME
The coal strike was expensive. It j
cost the miners $60,000,000 in wages, j
the operators $12,000,000 in profits,
and the United States government,
through increased deficit in railway
operation, reduced freights for ship
ping Board vessels, and loss of income
and excess profits taxes, suffered to
the extent of $40,000,000. These fig
ures are from Vice-President Mor
row of the National Coal Association.
He does not attempt to estimate the
loss to the public, but that, as is al
ways the case, is largest of all.
THE RUSH IS ON TO CORDOVA
Every Cordova-bound passenger
boat from Seattle, and there are now
six or seven each month, is bringing
a capacity load, and Cordova is receiv
ing its full quota of newcomers. In
fact, more than one-third of all pas
sengers booked for Alaska are com
ing to Cordova, and from present in
dications our population will be in
creased this summer by at least fifteen
hundred people-. Many of these are
coming to work in the canneries, while
others are interested in the oil fields,
mining and other lines of endeavor. It
all spells prosperity for Cordova, and
the outlook never was brighter.
TRIP WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL
The Washington State Press Associ
ation will make a trip this summer to |
the coast towns of Southeastern
Alaska, which should prove beneficial
to the members and result in their
gaining some new ideas of this North
land, as there seems to be a woeful
lack of knowledge on the part of most
writers in the States, and even, on
the Pacific coast, as to the actual con
ditions in Alaska. It will also en
lighten them in reference to the false |
impressions given out by Governor
Riggs as to the alleged unrest and
Bolshevik menace that our chief ex-!
executive intimates are threatening |
the territory. They will find our in- j
dustries in full operation, meet the j
I
most loyal Americans on earth, and !
learn that we are a contented and j
prosperous lot of people. j

M’BRIDE CHOICE OF REPUB
LICANS
Reports from all parts of the terri
tory indicate that the Republicans are
almost unanimously in favor of the
election of J. C. McBride as national
committeeman of the party. This is
not surprising when one considers the
fact that he is one of the substantial
business men of the territory, with a
continuous bona fide residence of over
twenty years, and is in every wTay
cpialified to discharge the duties of
that position.
Mr. McBride is not identified with
any faction of the Republican party,
and he only consented to enter the
race after J. R. Heckman had with
drawn, and upon the solicitation of
friends and party wmrkers from vari
ous towns in Alaska, who realized that
he was the most available man for the
office.
The primary election will be held
Tuesday, April 27, and we can' not too
strongly urge upon the Republicans to
go to the polls on that day and vote
for Mr. McBride, thus insuring his
election by an overwhelming majority.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Within the past ten days or two
weeks so many measures have been
advocated for the good of Alaska that
we have without a doubt lost track
cf many of them. If half of the meas
L;res go through this year, the Terri
tory should feel the effects and have
i burst of good times.—Douglas News.
There are undoubtedly hundreds
throughout the territory who will
agree with the communication in yes
terday’s Gateway, from Mayor E. E.
Chamberlain, that Gov. Riggs, in his
incipient propaganda that Alask is
nearing a revolution by the Bol^hvi
ki is straining at a nat and swallow
ing an elephant. There may be little
burgs in Alaska harboring harmful
Radicals but they are so very
small that they could be squelched
without difficulty. Another thing that
people will not agree with Gov. Riggs,
is his plea for a constabulary to take
over the policing of the territory.
Nothing of the kind is needed, there
being positively no excuse for such a
thing and Delegate Grigsby shows he
is “there” when he refuses to intro
duce a bill in Congress for a constab
ulary. If one wants a constabulary,
then go to Canada or Pennsylvania.—
Seward Gateway.
Fred Clinton of Fairbanks paid a
fine of $250 following his plea of
guilty to having alcohol in his pos
session. Mr. Clinton, who was ar
rested at his cabin above Munson’s
roadhouse, had five gallons of home
made hootchinoo in his possession.
