WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1919
ONE CANDID TEUTON
Professor F. W. Foerster, Bavarian
minister to Switzerland, recommends
an “honest national self-indictment”
for the Germans. Writing in the
Tageblatt on the questions of war
guilt and the conduct of the war, he
says:
“We must investigate our own part
in this world brutalizing process
quite as much as we should our op
ponents abroad. Not until then are
we able to understand the Paris de
cision as the tragic result of our na
tional guilt. The ruthless cruelty
with which we were treated we our
selves practiced in the occupied ter
ritory.
“Whoever has taken the slightest
conception of the rigorous measures
we adopted in the treatment of pris
oners and the systematic destruction
of industrial plants and the deporta
tion of thousands of young girls will
readily understand the resentment of
the French people.
“We must be perfectly clear in our
own minds in respect of our own
guilt if we are to be born again
nationally. We must always remem
ber that, while the whole world is
practicing the politics of might, we
on the other hand have systematized
the politics of might and elevated it
to a new political philosophy.”
Ascribing to private car lines a po
sition as one of the principal factors
in the concentration of control of the
American meat industry, and showing
that the “big five” Chicago packers
own more than 90 per cent of the
equipment, suitable for shipment of
fresh beef and carcass meats, the
Federal Trade Commission has made
public a special “Private Car Line
Report” to the President. It recom
mends as a remedy that all cars
used for the transportation of meat
animals and all refrigerator cars and
equipment be operated on equal terms
to all shippers.
L. D. Henderson, commissioner of
education, has recommended and
Governor Riggs 1ms approved the cel
ebration of September 17 as Consti
tution day in the schools of Alaska.
This action has been taken in line
with the general movement through
out the nation to observe the day in
schools and communities generally in
such manner as to increase popular
knowledge concerning American
ideals of government and with the
further object of bringing about a
better popular understanding of the
Constitution.
Many persons throughout the terri
tory will bear out Delegate Grigsby
in the statement that Wickersham
proclaimed himself a “Woodrow Wil
son Democrat” in the campaign of
1914, which Wickersham denies. It
may be, however, that there is con
fusion as to the term used. Some
have said that he claimed to be a
“Woodrow Wilson Progressive.” At
any rate, the impression conveyed
by Mr. Wickersham in that campaign
was that he was a supporter of Pres
ident Wilson, and it was his retreat
from that position in the campaign
of 1916 that turned many of his for
mer Democratic supporters against
him.
OH, HORRORS!
Excitement reigned at high pitch
on the streets of Ketchikan last Sat
urday afternoon and men, women and
children craned their necks till there
wras no rubber left in them; clerks,
waitresses, merchants, milliners, bak
ers, radio operators, etc., ran to the
doorway to see the excitement; na
tives, thunderstruck, stopped and
stared in amazement; the sourdoughs
of many years gasped for breath,
booze-browed blind piggers straight
ened up and swore that they would
never take another bootleg drink;
newsboys stopped selling papers; and
last of all, the old maid shriveled up
with wonderment of what this world
was coming to as a “swell”
dressed woman, a tourist who was
taking in the town, strutted up and
down our “peaceful” streets with a
cigarette in her mouth and puffed
smoke through a little holder with
little or no. care of the disgusting
scene she was creating. What is
this world coming to? Just because
women are wearing pants is no rea
son they should have the gall to
smoke a pill in public. It’s disgust
ing; in fact, it’s hell. It’s a case of
idiosyncrasy. Let’s go back to the
primitive men. Let’s get the big
stick and become cave men. As Billy
Sunday would say, “A damn good
licking is what some people need.”—
Ketchikan Miner.

San Francisco.—Deciding to end
their own lives, but refusing to de
prive the canary bird, which for eight
een years had brought happiness to
them by its song, of its life, William
Foster, 64, and his wife, Mary, 65, of
1582 Market street, Oakland, gave the
bird its freedom and then turned on
three gas jets in their home.
The body of Foster was found on
the bed, while the woman, gasping for
breath, sat in a chair when their
daughter, Mrs. William Nash, 1433
Myrtle street, Oakland, broke down
the door.
Resting on a table, the doors thrown
open, was the bird cage, while from

without could be seen the canary sing
ing in the warmth of the morning sun
shine from a cherry tree bough.
The daughter called to take the cou
ple for a walk. She found the doors
and windows barred, and the odor of
gas emerging from (lie place.
Breaking in the front door with an
ax, she was forced to wait several
minutes before entering the place.
Then she rushed from room to room
until finding her parents together in
the sleeping quarters.
The couple came from Denver, Colo.,
where they had spent all of their mar
ried life. Both suffered from rheu
matism and climatic conditions were
better on the coast, they were told.
That the two decided to die, like
they had lived, together, was evident
from conditions about the house.
Everything had been put in its place
and every speck of dust removed.
