THANKSGIVING TOMORROW.
Alaska, in keeping with all other parts of the United
States, will observe the last day of November as Thanksgiving
day. In order that the employees of the Daily Times may pro
perly commemorate this holiday with the rest of mankind, there
will be no paper issued tomorrow.
As a people generally we certainly have occasion to feel
grateful that the great carnage in progress in European coun
tries has in no way involved the United States and that we are
enjoying peaceful and prosperous times. That President Wil
son has kept us out of war during the past couple of years, is to
his credit, and as he is to continue to occupy the executive chair
for four years, it is earnestly hoped that his efforts in that di
rection will be as successful as they have been in the past.
Cordovans in particular have much to be thankful for, as
the future of the town and surrounding country was never more
promising. Many new industries have located in our midst dur
ing the past year, giving employment to many people, and we
are just on the eve of brighter days. Extensive preparations
are being made for the development of much of the mineral
wealth ot this section that now lies dormant and ere long Cor
dova should be one of the busiest towns in Alaska, and her
people happy and contented.
Having just passed through a presidential and territorial
election, we should all forget our imaginary troubles, for no
body can live and prosper while continuing a grouch, just be
cause all the people did not act as they did. There remains but
one office that has not as yet been definitely disposed of. That
is the delegate to congress from Alaska, the vote thus far being
so close that it will require the official count to determine who
has been elected'. But whether it is to be Sulzer or Wickersham,
let us be thankful that the campaign is nearing a close and all
settle* down to the regular routine of business, whether our fa
vorite candidate has won or lost. This is the proper American
spirit, and now is the right time to cast aside any personal feel
ings that may have been engendered during the heat of a poli
tical campaign.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day.
-:o:
INAUGURATION DAY.
When will the next president of the United States lie sworn
in? When will the inaugural parade take place!
These are questions of unusual interest, especially to the
national capital, that have been raised by reason of the fact
that March 4, the usual inauguration date, will fall on Sunday.
It is tip to the president-elect to decide whether he will take
the oath March .3 or March Therefore, in the last analysis,
lie will have to say whether the inaugural ceremonies will tuke
place on Saturday, before March 4, or on Monday, following
March 4.
A few days ago South Trimble, clerk of the house of rep
resentatives, received an inquiry as to the probable inaugural
date and lie referred it over to the congressional library, where
the precedents were looked up. There are precedents both ways.
Three times in the history of the republic has March 4 of inau
gural year fallen on Sunday.
In 1b‘JI President James Monroe chose to be inaugurated
on March 3. Zachary Taylor followed his example in 1K4!). In
1K77 Rutherford B. Haves took the oath on March 3, and re
peated the performance on March 5. In other word’s, lie took
the oath of office twice. His adversaries believed there was a
special reason for being careful. The Tilden Hayes controversy
had split the nation and in the newspapers of March 5, 1H77,.
there is the published report of a rumor that Tilden also had
taken the oath in New York, so as to be ready to go into office
if the fates so decided. While Hayes first took the oath on
March 3, the inaugural ceremonies followed on March 3.
According to Washington officials, the oath of office may
lie taken by the president-elect on any date after lie is elected,
and no matter when the inaugural parade is held’, the president
elect will become the president of the United States immediate
ly upon the expiration of the present presidential term.
SHORT ARM JOLTS.
Of course you have much to be thankful for—even if you
don’t know it.
Happy is tin* person who can feast tomorrow on turkey
and its concomitants.
We’ll have to credit Ycnizeloes with executive ability. Ib
is about to float a loan of £400,000.
Judging from the appearance of some of our stores, Santa
Claus will be able to secure most of his Christmas gifts right
here in Cordova.
The candidate who is lucky enough to squeez into the dele
gateship for the next two years will possibly be more thankful
after all the precincts have reported than lie will be tomorrow,
with his political fate hanging in the balance.
After Thanksgiving it is but a short trip to Christmas, and
the wise person is already looking around for the gifts lie in
tends to purchase, while the selection is such that you can now
get tin- very article you desire- to give to a friend.
Hungary follows (Jentiany and Austria in the appointment
of a food dictator, and Kngland plans restrictions on the use of
food- I l|!l* raises tin* optimistic question, will the curtailment
of overeating result in offsetting the mortality of war .’
1 he constitution notwithstanding, we have four houses in
our government as at present constituted — the house of repre
sentatives, the senate, the White House, and Colonel lv M.
House, and there are some who believe the colonel is ihe strong
est House of all.
