LEAGUE PHESIUEINI WILaun.
Can you visualize Woodrow Wilson
as president of the league of nations?
If you cannot, he can.
President Wilson of the league of
nations would quite throw into the
shade the figures of G. Washington
and A. Lincoln.
But, after all, would it not do the
world good to have a New Jersey pro
fessor, in mortar board and gown, at
the head of the nations? Neither from
the viewpoint of dramatic values, nor
from the viewpoint of art, would the
professional figure compare with that
of Napoleon on horseback or of the
kaiser in the white uniform and gold
helmet and floating plumes of a Ho
henzollern conqueror. As an object
of aesthetic devotdon League Presi
dent Wilson would not compare favor
ably even with the presidents of our
National and American leagues.
But as head of the league of nations
the. president would be a tranquilliz
ing personality. He would be the
antithesis of militarism, He would
be the professor and white men and
black men, yellow men and brown
men, red men and other men, would
be his pupils. Nietzsche has said that
Wisdom in a woman and has always
loved a warrior, but if that be true
then it Is time that Wisdom changed
her mind.
The warrior has had his day. Now
for the. New Jersey schoolmaster—
president of a university, president of
the good old U. 3. A., president of
America, Europe, Asia, Africa and
other heathenish countries.

COMMENTS OF ALASKA PAPERS
The cable correspondent wires the
thrilling news that Mrs. President
Wilson fed the sea gulls near the
Azores. Lots of folks have fed the
gulls in all the seven seas when the
ship was rolling strong.—Valdez
Miner.
Merchants and citizens have helped
the Alaskan engineering commission
endorse its plans. These merchants
and citizens were promised the com
pletion of the railroad in 1916, and
1917, and then in 1918. Wouldn’t you
fight when you have been bunked for
three years? You know you would,
but perhaps you would have started
% your fight earlier, as Seward admits
now that she should have done.—Se
ward Gateway.
JL
, It is also worthy of note that nearly
every precinct In the westward coun
try where there was a deputy mar
shal voted for Wickersham. Sel
Sovia, Kodiak, Ungaf, McCarthy and
other precincts where commissioners
and deputy marshals are stationed
gave Wickersham majorities. Mc
Carthy is the only princinct in the
Copper River country where there is
a United States commissioner and
deputy marshal, and it is the only
Copper River precinct carried by
Wickersham.—J.uneau Empire.
The news was received here some
time ago that the financing deal sug
gested by President F. W. Bradley oi
the Alaska-Juneau mine had been ap
proved by the board of directors and
that work would start in the spring
toward making that mine a paying
proposition. Mr. Bradley will be It
this section himself most of the sum
mer to superintend the work and w«
can expect that great things will hap
pen. If the plans are carried througt
and the mine is put on a paying bash
it will be n great .boost for Gaatineai
Channel ahd fir of Alaska.—Douglai
Island Netfs.

INTERESTING* LE
FROM INTERESTING MAN
Captain A. E„ Lathrop is in receipt
pf a letter from E. 0. McCormick, '
chairman of the federal commission ’
which visited Cordova and other parts 1
pf Alaska last summer, to make a *
special investigation of conditions In f
the Northland for Secretary of Interi
or Lane. It was written from Wash- )
ington, D. C., and in speaking of the
influenza here he says: “My, fhat a -
time yon did have at Cordova, and I
sympathize with you. I regret Dr.
Hale’s death very much. Hi seemed:
to be a fine man. I trust ere this you
have been able to open things gener
illy and that the balance of the sea
son will be a prosperous one.”
Mr. McCormick has evidently heard
the “call or the North,” for he says:
‘I propose coming back to Alaska in
Tune if they will let me, and if I do
you are probably apt to be one of the
first with worn I will take a drink—
pf what, I know not Send me any
thing of interest and remember what
ive want down here is more sunshine
ind flowers, love and good cheer, than
Ice or snow or the creinatijp of any
more Dan McGrew’s. Won’t you
kindly remember me to the people of
Alaska at Anchorage and Cordova,
even if you have to make a curtain
speech in the theater in order to do
It. Tell the newspaper men up there
that we down here would like to say
how’dy to them and wish them all a
happy new year.”
