ALASKA GOES DRY.
In liis weekly jingle to tlu* Anacortes (Wash.) American,
the following from the pen of E. T. Ooin:
< Mil Timer have yon heard the news? Alaska’s going to
cut out booze, ami henceforth will that frozen clime subsist on
pop and seltzered lime, and miners from the frozen hills in but
termilk will bathe tlieir gills and Klondike Pete and Rough
House Liz will quench their thirst in kickless fizz, and inushers
chilled on Arctic trips will drink beef tea and smack their lips.
The madhouse will no longer cheer the trail worn soul with
hootch or beer; the mining camp will silent be, except for min
ers drinking tea. No more they’ll seek 1). Rum of nights and
get lit up like Northern Lights, since none may buy or steal or
mooch one little shot of fiery hootch. And Yukon Ike, the good
old soul, will have to shinny up the pole, and' soon we’ll see
Hell Roarin’ Pete, upon the water wagon seat.
The sourdough when he wants a drink, will amble to the
Yukon's brink, and quaff a horn of ll-2-O, a harmless drink, as
well you know; then go his way in search of gold and sing an
ode to water cold, and when he makes a stake he’ll go to camp
and buy a drink or so of orangeade, near beer, or iiine, and
swear lie’s had a ripping time.
Not like 1 he days of old, not much; John Barleycorn is now
in Dutch, from Sitka to the Arctic shore, and “Forty Rod” will
cheer no more, the I lardy Argonaut, for he has climbed’ the pole
like you and me.
THE CHANGE IN CONGRESS.
Then* is n difference of opinion as to what effect will fol
low the loss of the lower house of congress by the Democrats.
There are some who believe that Republican control of the
house will compel the senate and president to abandon past par
tisan measures and attempt to give the country some badly
needed economic legislation.
Some, on the other hand, contend that it would be bettei
to allow the Democrats to have complete control of congress foi
the next two years. This would give the country a chance to
know whom to credit or blame for laws enacted. Divided re
sponsibility is never satisfactory.
But we believe a Republican house can be depended’ upon
to uphold the president in all meritorious legislation and not
to inject partisan politics into national problems. They hav<
never done so in the past. And beside, their power will put at
end to legislation for purely partisan ends and will insure that
legislation hereafter will be shaped in the open.
-:0:
STRIKE IS STILL LIKELY.
Now that the election is over the fact is divulged that tin
railroad brotherhood is far from being satisfied with the Adam
son law, passed bv congress on tin* appeal of President Wilsoi
as a means of preventing a nation wide railroad strike. ()ppon
cuts of the measure at the time declared the legislation offeree
m* permanent solution of the question and latest development!
tend to show that they were not far wrong. Representatives o
the brotherhood and of the railroads are now in conference oi
1 he matter of the application of the law, and as the conference
progresses, the chances of breaking the deadlock appear to h<
more and more remote. The whole issue seems likely to be
fought over again, and the only effect the law seems to have
had was to put the' quietus on a troublesome situation unti
after the election.
_• A *
SHORT ARM JOLTS.
Tt is appalling wliat an oblivion settles over a defeated can
didate.
It’s all right so long as the hay shortage doesn’t affect tin
mattress.
The sidewalks were slippery enough today to permit o
them being sprinkled with ashes.
Marshal City, in Alaska, is the California of the states fo
the local Democrats, if their hopes are realized.
The Christmas holidays are but a month off, and the wis
merchant reaches out in his advertising to catch that trade.
With foodstuffs going up abroad at an alarming rate am
gold continuing to flow to our shores, Uncle Sam is in dange
of becoming a modern Midas.
I’lie presidential election in the states was a close one, bu
not a marker to the delegate contest in Alaska. The officia
count will be necessary to decide the latter.
The United States has declared war against Villa, and i
Villa gets the upper hand in Mexico, and he seems on the way
' will the United States In* at war with Mexico?
P They’re talking again of lifting the border embargo oi
ammunition in order to ease Carranza’s situation. Likely t*
give Villa considerable encouragement in the business of whip
ping Carranga for the ammunition he carries.
The Juneau papers are unable to agree upon Sulzer’s plur
alitv in the First division. The Dispatch gives him 477 votes
while the Empire says a recheck on the returns reduces hit
plurality from 515 to 49J. These sixteen votes may decide tin
election.
A prophecy’: Hughes is likely to be the Republican baunei
bearer four years hence, and if he is, he will win. Paste this ii
a conspicuous place and keep your eye on it—Tacoma News.
Well, if Charles E. is a candidate in 1920, when he visits
California he’d better send' his card to “Uncle Hiram” Johnson
