SEVEN GOOD MEN ARE NAMED
ON PEOPLE’S TICKET FOR COUNCIL
... m ——- ^
REALIZING the urgent necessity of having a capable
mid representative city council administer the municipal
affairs of Cordova during the ensuing year a large num
ber of citizens met at the Empress theatre last night and nomi
nated a ticket which we believe is made of as good material as
it is possible to secure in the community, and is entitled to the
hearty support of the voters. While none of the candidates
named sought tin* office, and many of them would much pre
fer that others would assume the thankless honor, they were
finally prevailed upon by their friends to enter the race in the
interest of good government. It was decided to call it the
People’s Ticket, and is composed of Edgar ,1. Davis, Bartley
Howard, George C. llazelet, Thomas G. Price, William L.
Smith, Henry A. Slater and Charles M. Rosswog.
Three of the above named, Messrs. Davis, Hazelet and
Slater, are members of the present council, and are willing to
stand on their record as public servants, as well as their records
as progressive citizens of the community. During the past
year they have been in the minority on the council and the
reckless, extravabant and incompetent manner in which the
affairs of the city have been conducted must be laid at the door
of the responsible ones. Messrs. Howard, Price, Smith and
Rosswog are among our substantial citizens, all of whom are
property owners and have been prominently identified with the
best interests of Cordova. If these seven men are chosen to
the council they can be depended upon to discharge their re
spective duties in an able, fearless and satisfactory manner to
the whole people.

COST OF SELF GOVERNMENT
IS NOW BORNE BY UNCLE SAM
t— .. ..|____ __M
THE coming session of the legislature will cost the United
States government $44,938, for that is the amount ap
propriated by congress for the expenses of the legisla
ture. This, however, should give a certain amount of food for
thought to those who are are ever insisting that the Territory
be given more self-government than it now has, for more self
government means more independence in a financial way, also,
and who is to provide the cash ?
All this talk about more legislative rights would be appro
priate if the Territory had the taxable property to support such
a government but it would be foolish for congress to provide
money to the Alaska legislature to spend as it pleases. It is
only natural and proper that the same authority which provide s
the money should also say how the money should be spent.
To say that Alaska, under present conditions, should have
more legislative powers would' be the same as saying that a
small boy who is incapable of earning his own living, should be
without a guardian.
What Alaska really needs now is a government commission,
as suggested by Secretary of Interior Lane, which will be com
posed largely of Alaskans, and will have the power to look after
the government interests in the Territory. This, in addition
to the legislature as it is now composed, will do more toward
the future welfare of Alaska than will any other arrangement
with the present limited population that the Territory has.—
Fairbanks Citizen.

A small Irish steamer was sunk off the Calf of Man recent
ly. Did' Germany make a bull of it in this case?

The bet still stands: A full grown epiphigger against a
healthy aphis that Japan and China will fight before the end' of
five years.
-:o:
Why should the doctors be puzzled over the ticking in a
Philadelphia girl’s head? No doubt it is a case of clock stock
ings on the brain.
-:o:
The slot machines of the Third division have been relegated
to their final resting place the thanks for which are due our es
teemed contemporary.
-:o:- -
Too bad the editor of the Alaskan couldn’t have taken r
peep at the class of “Highbrows” that attended last night’s
caucus, composel as it was of people who labor and do things
for the town, and not the wind-jammer sort.
-:o:
The writers say that one result of the war will be a large
crop of royal spinisters in England. English princesses have
been drawing heavily on German royalty for husband?. It will
l>e a long, long time before this road to matrimony is reopened,
perhaps. Still, one can’t tell. In the years gone by many a
peace has been made by Dan Cupid.
-:o:
Under the Australian ballot system every voter can ex
press his preference for municipal officials, without being un
duly influenced, and we have confidence in the intelligence of
the voters to select the best men. The People’s ticket is now
before the public. When the Goddard-Boyle faction get
through with their star chamber sessions and if they succeed in
getting five others to stand' with them and the Alaskan in their
fight to control Cordova, it will be up to the voters to decide who
shall sit on the next council. And this they will no doubt do,
even if the result is not satisfactory to the “rule or ruin”
crowd.
The bunch that are raising such a hue and cry about the
common people, for political purpose only, also can run back
ward with great facility.
-to:
The people propose to have something to say in the election
on April (>, and will use every honorable means to elect the seven
men they nominated last night for the city council.
-to:
The price of manganese having risen 50 per cent, those of
us who had been thinking of buying safes to keep our abundant
funds in had better defer purchase for a while.
-:o:
It has been established by the University of Washington
that ice cream may be eaten with spoon or fork, and that photo
graphs should not be set on the piano. We must not overlook
these epochal steps in education.
-;o:—
Judging from the enthusiasm shown at last night’s caucus
there is considerable opposition in Cordova to the methods
adopted by the majority in the present city council, whose ad
ministration lias been anything but satisfactory to the masses.
As a result a ticket composed of some of our best citizens has
been placed in the field, and every knock it receives from the
Alaskan, the organ and mouth-piece of a few would-be bosses,
will be a big boost for the People’s ticket.
