THE SOFT PEDAL?
Until we know with authority .just how reprehensible Ger
man activities in the United* States have been, how far attempts
at subsidization have gone, how successful efforts have been to
worm into proprietorship of factories supplying munitions to
the allies, how extensive a propaganda of a questionable charac
ter has been carried, we should perhaps use the soft the pedal.
For somebody might tell us in unpleasant language how the
l tided States subsidized, propagandaed, wormed and supplied
that Panama revolution. We don’t want to say anything or do
anything in any delirium of virtue that is likely to encourage
Colombia in pressing that $25,000,000 claim against us.
Let’s us keep away from unpleasant subjects. The air up
at the mountain is said* to be fine.
-:o:
GOETHALS’ PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN.
Once again announcement comes from various towns
throughout the country that they have offered Col. Goethals
a fabulous salary to become city maanger. It is argued that
he can save a city anywhere from $500 to $5,000 per day in
operating costs. On what such a statement can be based is
hard to determine as it has been suggested that the only
achievement of Col. Goethals, the construction of the Panama
Canal, cost in round figures something like $400,000,000 as
against a possible $200,000,000 given as the estimate of what it
might have cost under practical construction by private enter
prise. The remarkable amount of high class magazine
publicity given to Col. Goethals leads to the suspicion that the
former secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission is still
handing out the press sheets. Furthermore, the resignation of
the colonel is taken as evidence that he is going to enter the
presidential campaign in 1916 and all of this pulicity is but
leading up to such a campaign.
-:o:
“JEKYLL AND HYDE” GRAVES.
Chief Forester Graves like his predecessor Pinchot is de
veloping quite a Jekvll and Hyde existence. In the Washing
ton, 1). C., Star recently was a lengthy statement showing that
Mr. Graves was going to Alaska to fight off the terrible bugaboo
of special interests who were going to grab the timebr lands of
Alaska for the manufacture of wood pulp. In Seattle he tem
pered his interview to a degree, changed it again at Juneau but
in Fairbanks, located in the far interior of Alaska, he announces,
according to a press dispatch, that arrangements have been
made to establish big pulp mills on the coast and it is intimated
that he, Graves, is responsible for starting this line inquiry. It
certainly appears necessary for the press bureau to work in har
mony and at least give out consistent dope at the two ends of
Uncle Sam’s domain. Of course both statements, the one from
Washington and the other from Fairbanks, are purest moon
shine and elsewhere in this issue some little attention is given in
detail to Chief Forester Graves and his mission to Alaska, with
suggestions as to why that official should resign from the ser
vice.—Seattle Railway and Marine News.
-:o:
Russia sends out word that Germany is “broke” and then
Germany informs the world that Russia faces a pecuniary cata
clysm. Perhaps both of them are lying—in a bed’ of thorns.
The bureau of naturalization has spoken. It says the first
step in the melting process is for aliens to learn English, and
that the first lesson in English should be along the line of obedi
ence to law. Does the alien need this instruction more or less
than the native-born?
The liberty of the people consits in being governed by
laws which they have made themselves, under whatsoever form
it be of governments; the liberty of a man in being master of
his own time and actions, as far as may consist with the laws
of God and of his country.
What will be the state of the minds of the soldiers who
survive the present war? Will they have any respect for hu
man life. Will they not all emerge from the war homicidal
lunatics and ready to commit murder when in the least crossed
in their desires?
Really, is not all Europe fast becoming a vast madhouse?
It certainly looks that way in the acts of men and the tone
of many newspapers.
Everyone who has not an Eukalale ought to get one. All
society is going in for the Euk. Of course it’s not good to eat.
You just pick it. The Eukalale is a musical instrument—a
cross between a guitar and a fiddle and it is played with a steel
pick. The Hawaiian Islands is the place of its birth. When
good old Queen Lil of Hawaii used to visit Washington every
winter, she introduced the instrument to Capital society and it
was quite the vogue; but it dropped out when good Queen Lil
departed and ragtime put in an apperance. Now however,
society has taken it up again and there is nothing like a Euk
to remind us that this is a season of nonsense.
