PROGRESSIVES FOR HUGHES.
Tlio endorsement of Charles K. Hughes, Republican nomi-!
nee for president, by the Progressive national committee, will |
clear the political atmosphere, and leave the two giant parties
in a clear field for a contest to tin* finish.
Since Roosevelt first refused the Progressive nomination,
it has been a foregone conclusion that the Progressives would
endorse Hughes, but in polities a> in all other affairs of men,
there was no n rtainty until after the action had been taken.
The endorsement of Hughes by the Progressives will carry
with it main of the votes heretofore cast for Roosevelt. Tt
will not, however, mean that the Progressive vote in its en
tirety can be passed over by any one man, as many of the
strongest adherents of that party supported it merely because
it was led by Theodore Roosevelt, and while they are at all
times ready to east their votes for him, they are not ready to
allow him to tell them how they shall vote.
With Roosevelt on the sidelines, the contest narrows down
to a contest between men very similar in character, represent- .
ing parties between which there is at this time only a tradition
al difference of opinion .
The war with Mexico, which is almost certain to come, will
have a great influence on the outcome of the election. If Wil
son can prosecute a successful campaign against the barbarians (
south of us, it will create an enthusiasm which will be reflected
at the polls, while on the other hand, if our armies meet with
disasters, it will mean that the people will blame the adminis
tration for not having been properly prepared to cope with a
situation, the outcome of which has been predicted for years]
by nearly every man in the United States.
What Roosevelt’s participation in the campaign will Ik* is]
yet unknown. 1 lis recent illness, while announced as of a slight
character, is thought bv many to have been of a more serious
nature (ban is admitted. If lu* is not strong his support will bej
limited only to tin* use of his name and occasional inteniews,]
but if In* is will and strong, lie no doubt will take the stump. •
w liieli w ill be a strong factor in favor of Hughes.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY FOR CORDOVA.
The announcement made yesterday by (}. i'. Hal forty, pre
sident of the Rinneor Racking Company, that it is the intention
of his firm to establish a cannery at Cordova, was welcomed
by the citizens of Cordova, who always arc glad to welcome any
n liable institution to this city.
' The establishment of the cannery at Cordova means that
this city immediately will have an increase in population of
from 150 to 250 persons, all of a class which will go far toward
making this a better and richer city.
While th(> cannery probably will not be within tlie- limits
of the incorporated town, it will, nevertheless, depend upon this
city for its supplies, ami according to the statement of the pro- -
Kident of the company, will identify itself with all the interests
-of the eitv.
It is institutions of this kind which build up a city,. May
there he many more of them.
-:o:
' •< ij/ js fl1(. eternal spirit of unrest that pervades our city
'which holds us hack. < >ur people want a change from existing
conditions; they do not know why, but they want a change
anvilow. They are dissatisfied with the city government, the
schools, the churches ,the city, the people, and! probably also
dissatisfied with their newspaper. Changes cost money and
work great harm 1" communities as well as to a man’s business.
Every change takes away a certain amount of money, energy
and ambition. It is not well for a community to be so self-satis
*f;ed that it shirks its responsibilities and drifts; but on the |
other hand, it is had for a community to he constantly changing I
•ps policies.—Valdez Prospector.
Consider the caution of our great government, says the
Boston News Bureau. It has placed an experimental order for
three Lewis machine guns. Today England lias 20,000 machine
• nnis on order in this country; Canada is signed' up for several
hundred. And Springfield advices declare that for two or
three years no Benet-Merciers or Maxim Vickers have been
made at the Springfield arsenal. But this is to he remedied.
The government lias bought three machine guns.
The wire was down again yesterday, and at the present
writing it is uncertain whether it will he working again today.
The Times is weary of complaining about the service to Alaska.
It is the fault of no individual, and can only he remedied by
another cable. If the cable to Alaska is of military value, there
surely should he another one strung to insure uninterrupted
service. Tf it is not of military value there should he another
anyway. V"

Auto stages now are leaving Chitina for Fairbanks every
week. This means that Cordova hereafter will he not only the
winter route to the interior, but will get most of the Fairbanks
summer travel as well.

The Republican platform ought to stand better than the
Democratic, because it is more concrete.
