It' tlit* pessimist only knew how much he misses.
European taxpayers who will have to pay the bills agree
that war is a shell game.
Ketchikan is the latest Alaskan town that thinks it is en
titled to a federal building.
Prom now on we may expect boats to arrive from the states
with some degree of regularity.
President Wilson’s time for the present is very much de
voted to domestic, not foreign affairs.
Cordova confines to attract attention throughout the United
States as her richest copper-shipping port.
If we are to have much more weather like we are experi
encing today let the freeze-up come and soon.
The Pacific (toast eating Pacific Cod under New Englnm
labels presents the paradox of a fish fiction that is true.
Bulgarian shepherds who deserted their flocks at the cal
to arms are now merded together in an attempt to Serbia’s goat
Congress is going to break all records the coming year—i
tin1 way can be found of raising the money. We are merrih
marching on to the trillion-dollar days.
Judging from the frequency with which Switzerland’s mili
tary system is held up as an example for us we will soon haw
a Swiss movemeint if we don’t watch out.
President Wilson will lose nothing in his fight for nationa
defense by the opposition of William Jennings Bryan, win
seems to be obessed with a peace mania.
There is a report that the forestry headquarters are to b
removed from Cordova to the westward. Why not tin
Chugach reserve? We have no need for it.
We are still patiently awaiting, Mr. Secretary of the Inter
ior, the promulgation of a plan whereby the coal field's of Alaski
can be opened'up and developed on a workable basis.
The slide has transformed the moving picture at the Pane

The Douglas council has re-enacted a curfew ordinance
which declares that children under the age of 14 years shall no

An English parson, with more heart than head, has insti
tuted a “League for the Marrying of Broken Heroes.” Ho ad'
vocates the immolation of women upon the altar of war for th<
purpose of ameliorating the condition of maimed soldiers. H<
would turn the patience of womankind into a voluntary enslave
ment, and supplant love with the element of service alone, pos
siblv tinctured with sympathy, and trust to the soothing ele

Another evidence of the lack of knowledge of geography was
displayed not long ago by the Bulletin of the same place, The
