CORDOVA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1916.
VALUE OF ARTISTIC PUBLICITY.
The romance which the British are making out of a few
armored traction engines re-emphasizes the value of a capable
press bureau. To be sure, these traction engines are of a curi
ous type, as they are of the caterpillar variety and travel on a
sort of track laid down by their own wheels instead of upon the
wheels themselves.
They were made in Peoria, 111., and have been used to n con
siderable extent in some parts of this country, and a number of
them wore employed by the Germans in their invasion of Bel
gium two long and weary years ago. Little was said about
them at the time, though a review of the photography of the
war will show they were pictured' at that time.
The English adopted the idea and after two years have put
into the field the “tank,” as they call it, and their artistic press
agents have done the rest.
-;o:
It may be well to caution President Wilson that there are
other words in the dictionary of political oratory besides “pro
vincial.”
-:o;
Tt has happened with unfailing regularity that about the
time we think we can get a moment’s rest in the watchful wait
ing business, another covey of bandits wreck a train or two oi
slioot up a town in Mexico.
-:o:
A Massachusetts infantryman who wrote for his paper
criticisms of his officers on the border, has been sentenced to
six months at hard labor and dishonorably discharged'. Another
soulful martyr pilloried by the militaristic spirit, some will sav.
Put. in fact, he got what was coming to him. For lie lied. He
showed a yellow streak.
-:o:
Hon. James Watson, of Indiana, who says he has been keep
ing a tally sheet on the subject, declares that President Wilson
has changed his mind thirty-four times on the Mexican situa
tion alone. This does not include the numerous presidential
mutations, transpositions, withdrawals, advances and gyrations
on a dozen other big questions.
-:o:
The Pacific Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship Compan
ies’ merger is a logical one, destined to be of greater service tc
th(> west coast than the companies separately could give. Pre
sident Alexander and his associates are to be congratulated
upon the amalgamation. The rapid and satisfactory growth of
their concern is properly a source of pride and gratification tc
them.
-:o;
The women lawyers of America are uniting in support of
Charles E. Hughes for president. They see the need in the
great office of president of a man trained in the law, not only
the laws of the United State's, but in the laws of nations. Had
we had such a man these past three years the ludicrous en
tanglements in which we have found ourselves from time to
time, and’ which has made the United States the target of inter
national laughter and scorn, never would have been woven.
--;o:
Nominee Hanlv instructing Colorado audiences how to
heckle and attempt to disturb the equanimity of vice-presiden
tial nominee Fairbanks by asking him pointed questions on the
liquor question, cannot fail to bring up memories of fairly re
cent days when Hanlv was cuddling beneath the Fairbanks
wing, appropriating whatever beneficences the big Hoosier
chose to hand him. It also is likely to bring out the fact that,
personally, Fairbanks is every bit as clean as Hanlv, and in
fact, we believe, a man whose morals run deeper than Hanlv’s.
-:o:
Leslie’s Weekly charges the sixty-third congress, which
was pledged to reduce expenses, with having added 7,033 statu
tory places, at salaries totaling $7,769,585.12. In addition, near
ly $10,000,000 was appropriated to be added to salaries as the
heads of departments see fit, and to employ more persons. The
total number of added employees will exceed 15,000. But this
does not by any means cover the whole. Representative Gillett,
of Massachusetts, estimates that the total number of employees
added to the payrolls by the Wilson administration is between
35,000 and 40,000 persons, which is going some as an exhibition
of retrenchment and reform and Jeffersonian simplicity.
—-:o:
Collier’s Weekly quotes President Wilson as having said
in 1909: “I am a fierce partisan of the open shop.” But a mon
who can completely change his mind a half dozen times in a
year on an important subject, can in seven years change forty
two times, so that now we do not know where the president
stands on the subject in hand. We never have had a high offi
cial who was so presumptions in the matter of retreat and side
stepping, so urgent, in his own rhetoric, upon the principle that
a shift of base is reasonable and desirable “after investiga
tion,” and' yet there flashes before us the very clear violation
of this important principle in the matter of the Adamson law,
which was gobbled down by both president and congress with
out ascertaining whether it was fish, fowl or a spoiled onion.
