PUBLIC OPINION AND TRADUCER
Those real men and women who
understand the true meaning of citi
zenship and its responsibilities, those
who honestly strive for better condi
tions do not prate about grafting and
corruption for the sake of politics. If
they know of grafting, or of crooked
ness on the part of officials, they take
their evidence to grand juries, or
those who have authority to punish
for crime. They try to get results.
They do not idly or for sinister pur
poses make charges that involve the
honesty or integrity of officials. They
do not attempt to poison the public
mind through blatant harranguing,
whispered conversations or printed
reputations.
Honorable men and women do not
• ruin reputations. Only cowards make
charges veiled Jand indefinite that
they might escape the law's against
libel and slander. Brave men fight in
the open—and they protect reputa
tions unless the public interest or de
cency demands exposure and then
they prove their case in courts where
those charged may exercise freemen’s
right to defend themselvc3.
Assasins Shoot from ambush in
such manner that those whom they
would destroy cannot protect them
selves. Cowardly politicians use the
inuendo as an ambush and falsehoods
• -xiv as their weapons. They are in public
what the. scandal monger Is in
society.
However, the American people have
been educated in the hard struggle
for success in the course of their
daily toil and in the great school of
self-government, and they quickly
spot demagogues, cowards and pol
troons. They can distinguish between
the false and the true. They know
when they are being honestly served.
They might disagree with honest ser
vants, and vote them out of power
and place, because of differences of
opinion, but they rarely do it at the
behest of the political bushwhacker
and character assassin, and undesir
able citizens. Public opinion almost
invariably in the end arrives at just
conclusions and it usually requires
traducers to prove their charges.—
Juneau Empire.
MUCKRAKING IS NOT POPULAR
The Dispatch was due to spring a
bombshell in the ranks of the Demo
cratic party in Alaska last Sunday
when Dan Sutherland was to start his
serial entitled “All About Mileage,” or
“Who Are the Grafters in Alaska
Politics.” After the reading public
was all tuned up to concert pitch
awaiting the great revelations to be
sprung by Dan, the first number was
what was called during the late war
a “dud” a shell which came through
the air with great shrieking and hit
the dirt without exploding.—Douglas
Island News.
The screeds of Dan Sutherland, the
mileage grabber, are so palpably false
that it would be a misnomer to refer
to their author as a common liar. It
is not common for one to be so braezn
in his lying—particularly not when
he puts what he says in print. It
would be waste of time and effort
to go into details or present specifi
cations where everything is apparent
—as well caricature the devil or dec
orate a skunk with a Chinese stinck
pot.—Juneau Empire.
Senator Dan Sutherland is the
Moses of the Republican party in the
First Division. He is an astute pol
itician, as he has just discovered
there is a democratic machine in the
territory. Dan has not discovered
*. the Republican machine yet, which
probably acounts for many things.
Dan is informing the readers of The
Juneau Dispatch of his discovery. He
claims to be the original little Chris
topher Columbus pf the First. What
Dan and the Dispatch expect to gain
by pawing amid the debris of dead
issues has not yet been explained, but
evidently Daniel will set us right ere
next election. In the meantime the
Socialist vote is piling up in the First
division until neither Democrats or
Republicans will have a look-in if they
do not quit scrapping and join against
the common enemy.—Valdez Miner.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
It’s nearly time to have an old
building demolishing committee. All
the old buildings that are not worth
painting should be torn down and
every building in the down-town dis
trict should have a coat of Colonial
yellow or white paint. This will im
prove the value of your property, Mr.
Citizen; get busy. The cost is big
but examine the returns.—Juneau
Gleam.
«
Ketchikan’s prosperity is indicated
in no uncertain way by the extensive
improvements now in progress in con
nection with both public and private
property. Conditions hero are partic
ularly noticeable now because they
contrast so favorably with conditions
elsewhere in Alaska. Other towns are
undertaking no public improvement.
All of them, except Ketchikan, have
lost heavily in population in the last
two years and have no occasion to
ndd to the number of dwelling houses.
The fishing industry, permanent in its
character, insures the permanent
prosperity of Ketchikan.—Ketchikan
Times.
The jury in Juneau that tried the
latest booze case did a whole lot
towards making jury duty more pou
lar in Alaska. They called for sam
ples of all the stuff alleged to have
been found and used up considerable
of J;he evidence making sure it was
the real thing.—Douglas News.
THOUSANDS OF
TYPHUS CASES
IN BOSNIA
SPALATO, Bosnia, June 5 (by
mail).—Fifteen per cent of the popu
lation in Bosnia is absolutely des
titute. Typhus is on the increase
both in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Al
though only 800 cases of typhus are
officially reported the American medi
cal authorities believe that there are
more than 3,000. Great difficulty is ex
perienced by the authorities in in
specting Mohammedan homes where
three-quarters of the cases are be
lieved to be concealed.
Mohammedan women refuse to be
treated by male doctors no matter
how serious their illness. Many of the
Christian natives think it unmanly to
have the attention of a doctor or
nurse.
“We are not afair to die,” the
hardy mountaineers assert when
medical aid is offered them. “Why
all this fuss? Disease is a curse from
God but if He sees fit to send it to us
v/e must die like men.”
The Bosnian government, however,
has closed all moving picture houses,
dance halls and places of public con
gregation and is attempting to intro
duce a plan whereby a medical cer
tificate will be required of every trav
eler on the railways.
A veritable plague of lice overruns
the country. They are to be found
everywhere carrying with them the
germs of typhus. One of the greatest
needs of the natives is soap of which
there is none to be had. Typhus is
following the lines of communication,
especially the railways. American
Red Cross personnel, members of the
Hoover Food Mission and American
naval officers avoid the railways us
the care are infested with typhus lice.
The American Red Cross is making
preparations to aid 22 civilian hos
pitals in Bosnia and Herzegovina and
six military hospitals which have
been converted into civilian hospitals.
Four small hospitals were typhus
cases are.being treated by American
Red Cross doctors and nurses have
been established and aid also is on
the waf to five military hospitals In
Dalmatia at Cattaro, Spalato, Sinj,
Meljini and Ragusa. Members of the
Hoover Food Mission at Ragusa and
of the American navy at Zelanika
have been aiding the American Red
Cross restore Bosnia and Herze
govina.
