H. G. STEEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CORDOVA, ALASKA, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, 1916.
THE GAG KEMAIWS.
Secretary of War Newton 1>. Maker lias applied the gag
to army officers by reaffirming the gag rule put in force by
his predecessor, Lindley M. Garrison.
The question arose when Senators .Tones and Poindexter,
of Washington state, united at the request of certain organiza
tions at Spokane, in urging the new secretary of war to permit
Colonel Fdwin F. Glenn to go to Spokane and address the pre
paredness congress there.
Colonel Glenn is the army officer who recently dscribed'
the army as “pathetic” and made some other critical obser
vations which received attention from higher up.
Replying to Senators .Tones and Poindexter, the secretary
of war said the subject of preparedness is one that is receiving
attention all over the country, and requests for the assistance
of army officers to make addresses on the subject are so nu
merous that “it has been found impossible to comply with such
requests without serious interference with tin* duties of such
officers, and the consequent detriment of the interests of the
military service.”
-:o:
The facility with which the Fnited States slips out of
bis own solemn word?
——--:o:
The capture of Villa rapidly is assuming the general con
figuration of a political promise.
-- _:o:-•
They’re going to have the daily prayer for a week in the
Seattle business district. That isn’t enough.
President Wilson well may exclaim, in paraphrasing a fa
mous predecessor: “A railroad! My kingdom fora railroad!”
-:o:
American dye makers, it is declared, can not make fast col
ors, but this assertion is refuted when tin* colors start running.
-:o:
There will be some interesting developments to record re
the Republican territorial convention within the next week or
ten days.
---:o:
Money is usually a big factor in politics, especially in.Se
attle, but we do not believe that Alaskans would sell them
selves for a “mess of pottage.”
-:o:
Paying political debts with other people's money—that’s
the sum of the charges against Lorimer, it seems. And isn’t
that the general rule in politics?
-:o:——
From reports the Republican territorial convention may
develop into a boodle campaign on the part of certain persons
who desire to secure control of the party.
-:o:-—
Nature takes care of us. She is about to compel us to go
barefooted and thus rid our knobbed and suffering feet of sev
eral centuries’ accumulation of corns and bunions. Feather
is going beyond the reach of most of us.
-:o:- —
There are some woes from which mankind, flee as it may
to the uttermost corner of the earth, cannot escape. We notice
that, despite the travails of transportation, prunes continue to
be written into the bill of fare of our soldiers in Mexico.
-:o:
It is beginning to look as though Cordova is the political
center in the game at present being played within the ranks of
the Republican party. We are led to this belief from the fact
that L. 1*. Shackleford has established his headquarters here.
-:o:
The Juneau “boss” is in Cordova, but in order to secure
the support of any delegates to the Republican convention they
would first have to stultify themselves to support him, and we
have too much confidence in mankind to believe that any of
them are willing to do that.
-:o;-■
Seattle women have formed a club, and' will petition Col.
Roosevelt to run for the presidency. Has he not said that lie
won’t? Would' the good women coerce him into trifling with
crises proves tin* truth of ex-President Taft’s assertion that
Providence has the same merciful solicitude for this country
as for drunken men and children.
-:o:
Congress has postponed all equal suffrage legislation which
will bring a deluge of the briny from the Congressional Union
and a ripple of truly feminine laughter from several hundred'
thousand western women voters who can’t fathom the mental
processes of their eastern sisters in this business.
-:o;
(jennany hastens to extend the amenities in 11 it* Sussex
case. Her desire is to keep the peace with the United' States.
Hut it may be too late. The administration heretofore has set
its foot down so firmly that its recession may wrench good na
ture. Still we have wrestled with so many crises and we have
wiggled and squirmed so many times that contortion doesn’t
seem at all to disturb our vital organs.
