ALASKA GRIEF-STRICKEN
Mere words will fail utterly to de
scribe the depths of woe. of grief an<
helplessness felt by tin* people ol
tbe North at the great calamity that
has befallen in the loss of the steam
ship Princess Sophia with all or
board. It comes as a distinct per
sonal loss and bereavement to each
one of us. for scarcely a home in
Alaska or Yukon but will mourn tin
loss of some relative or dear friend
And the gallant men ol tin* Yukon

The rugged Alaska coast has been
the graveyard of many a gallant shi|
with its precious human freight, and
thousands have* gone to watery graves

ENTITLED TO REPRESENTATION
It is certainly most gratifying t
knoxx that the election of our toxvn*
man, Henry A. Slater, as a inembe
of tin* next territorial legislature i
generally conceded in praetieill
every voting precinct in tl\e Thir
division. This Is as it should b«
and is a c ast* of the office seeking th
in; n rather than the man neekin
the office.
Mr. Slater is one of Cordova’s most
substantial citizens, who through
strict application to business has met
with a full measure of success dur
ing his long residence in the terri
tory lie has the time and ability to
devote to legislative affairs, and be
I ing a free lance, the affairs of the
r public can be safely trusted in his
1 hands
There never was any question as
to Mr. Slater's election since he first
entered the race for representative,
and It now remains for the people of
1 Cordova and the Copper River valley
’ to see that he he "goes over the top”
with the biggest majority ever given
i any candidate from this section.
Thus far this town has not been
l represented in the territorial legis
lature. and its people should see to
It that this condition no longer pre
vails by giving Mr. Slater a practi
cally unanimous vote on Tuesday
next.

PUBLISHING THE NEWS.
Yesterday the Daily Times received
a partial list of passengers who lost
their lives on the wrecked steamer j
Princess Sophia, and realizing the j
great interest taken in the said catas
trophe, as most of the people aboard
the ship when she went down were
from Interior Alaska, this paper im
mediately wired the Associated Press
for a complete list of the names of
those who were drowned After the
paper had gone to press this infor
mation was received in a thousand
word message and today this sad news
Is given to our readers, together with
additional facts in reference to the
wreck that came with our regular
press report today.
This is the big story of the day and
the Times has spared no expense in
giving the news to the public.

GALEN SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
One week from today, November 5,
the voters will have the privilege of
rusting their ballots for men to till
the various territorial offices, and
one of the most Important of these
is that of road commissioner for this
judicial division
In the candidacy of James L. Galen
f'ondova presents a candidate who
is in every way qualified to discharge
the duties of the office In a manner
that is sure to meet with approval.
Thoroughly conversant with the
needs of the. territory in regard to
trails, having personally traveled over
much of the ground while examining
mining properties, with the added ex
perience of having served as super
intendent of the Glacier National
Park, a presidential appointment, Mr.
Galen would certainly prove a valu
able man to look after our roads,
lie is also extensively engaged in
business, and would give the terri
torial affairs the same careful atten
tion and consideration that has made
him successful in the conduct of his
own affairs.
Tin' voters will make no mistake
in casting their ballots for Jim Ga
len. the well-known old-timer, for road
commissioner.

People of Germany Prove Themselves in
Wrong by Treacherous Actions
By PAUL WEST, Member of Americin Deferue Society
Who cheered and held school festivals and struck medals when our
women and children sank with ihe Lusitania? The (iernian people, the
women and children of Germany.
Who have spit on our prisoners when they have hern carried wounded
'through (iernian towns? The women and children.
W ho have .-ent the .-oldie r- of Germany into battle full of hatred
fir us? The womanhood of Germane.
Win' have lamp red r.li ..iiphim made in this country so that
op of voung Ai i rn.m in..- have iieen killed hy tin machines break- |

Wc mii-t not take it out in a n nr. /rmi.-ii ■ s, in t. aring up all the

Wi must .-end the hat' along over the sea a- wv -end mir soldiers. We
must till them with it, must .-end them into battle backed by the feeling j
that we are behind every bayonet thrust of theirs and that we want them j
to do to the Germans what the Germans have done to our allies and to
mr defenseless ones w herever they could find them.
Wc know we're right. We know Germany is wrong. We know Ger
many is a liar, a foul fighter, a nation whose population and people hate
us implacably and are fighting the hotter because of that hate. All right;
’et us hate back.
There are no strings attached to the loyalty that prompts men and
'-•omen to shell out cash for war stamns and liberty bonds.
