NOTED NEW YORK LAWYER, WHO
VISITED ALASKA LAST SUMMER,
OUT FOR MAJOR GENERAL WOOD
Of much interest to Alaskans gen
erally is the announcement of Freder
ick Coudert, brother-in-law of Thomas
Riggs, Jr., governor of Alaska, that
he favors Major General Leonard
Wood for President and the charge
made by him that the present Demo
cratic administration has been a fail
ure. Last summer Mr. Coudert made
an extended visit in the territory. He
is also reported to have become inter
ested financially in the Hyder district.
The following is taken from the
New York Tribune of January 4, and
is self-explanatory:
“Frederick R. Coudert, interna
tional lawyer and independent Demo
crat, is out with a declaration in favor
of General Leonard Wood for Presi
dent. In a letter to Colonel William
C. Proctor, president of the Leonard
Wood League, he says that the coun
try is profoundly chagrined at the
failure of the present administration
to do aught but substitute platitude
for policy, promise for performance,
and he wants a capable executive.
The "letter follows:
“I have your letter of the 15th in
regard to the nomination of General
Wood, and would say in reply that
I am most earnestly hopeful that Gen.
Wood may be nominated, not, as you
say, “to insure a Republican victory,”
but rather to secure a strong, fearless,
■capable executive at a time of national
and international difficulties of an
extraordinary character. The inde
pendent voters of America, who when
aroused are in number sufficient to
hold the balance of power, have be
come utterly weary of the politicians
* who seek to use great problems af
fecting the vital interests of the na
tion as stepping-stones for personal or
party advantage. Never have party
ties been more lightly held, yet never
has national feeling been more earn
estly aroused than during the last
two years. The nation now feels the
need for a leader who will embody
this sentiment in acts rather than in
words.
Mexican Situation Deplored
“ ‘The country is profoundly cha
grined at the failure of the present
administration to do aught but sub
stitute platitude for policy, promise for
performance—a course which has led
to the paralysis of government at a
time when the nations of Europe look
to America for guidance and co-opera
tion in reconstructing a world shat
tered by war.
“ 'The lamentable situation created
in Mexico by such a lack of elemen
tary foresight and firmness as to ren
der ultimate intervention seemingly
inevitable, and the inability to deal
effectively with domestic problems,
has created an exceptionally serious <
situation,1 which must compel the
choice of an exceptional man.
" ‘At a time when a pusillanimous 1
neutrality, ordered from Washington, ’
benumbed the public mind, General 1

Wood preached the gospel of prepared
ness at great risk to his own career
and inaugurated the training system
which made it possible for the Ameri
can army to have a corps of officers
when war came. His life has been
spent in creative public activity, away
from political machination and
phrase-making. I believe there is to
day no one else who will make such
an appeal to our independent voters,
whose sole concern is that the nation
.be respected abroad and united at
home, and that pending problems be
met with firm grasp and ^earless
mind.’ ”

answer an old an experienced matron
once made to the same question
“Feed the Brute.”
To Seeker after Knowledge—Hel
vitius was a French philosopher,
born in Paris in 1716. In afterlife
he became quite famous, but as a
boy he is said to have been the ter
ror of his neighborhood and his moth
er would frequently remonstrate with
him and say, “Oh, Hel, please don’t.”
