CORDOVA’S DISTINGUISHED GUESTS.
Cordova lias for its guest today Alaska’s delegate in con
gress, Hon. James Wickersham, and lie is being cordially wel
comed as the representative of all of the people of Alaska. And
this is as it should be. Regardless of the voter’s political affili
ations, he is ever ready to do honor to a public man, and es
pecially one who has the confidence of the residents of this ter
ritory, having three times elected him as their champion at
Washington. Accompanying Judge Wickersham is Congress
man Albert Johnson, a very able and popular representative
from the state of Washington, who has just been renominated,
having overwhelmingly defeated his opponent, Mayor Fawcett,
of Tacoma. Mr. Johnson is assisting our delegate in his present .
campaign, and' lie feels that Alaska would be the loser if Wick
ersham was not returned to the national capital for% another
term. • v___

POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
Politics, a present day statesman remarked, is a a business ;
proposition. Aside from tin* patriotic duty which every citizen
owes to take an interest in politics arid do his part in conserving
the general welfare, there is an element of business obligation
connected with politics which makes it imperative that if a com
munity, state or a nation is to be developed' along rational lines
its citizens must individually take an intelligent interest in its
affairs. If they do not, someone else will, and not always to tin*
advantage of the community. Because of the element of per
sonal interest, it is natural that benefits most frequently are
showered upon that community which takes the most-active ,
port in political matters; on the other hand, the city, district or
section which is indifferent in the matter of solving governmen
tal problems which are eternally before us cannot complain if
b( passed up in the distribution of government activities and
Improvements. This is particularly true in Alaska, where gov
, rnment is not yet wholly representative.
-:o
WHY NOT IN ALASKA?
The policy followed by the government in operating and
maintaining native hospitals in the interior and along the coast
is worthy of high commendation. Any move which seeks to
better the condition of the native in Alaska is a step in the right
direction. Why couldn’t the government go a step farther and
e>tahlish a sanitarium in Alaska for the care and treatment of
l lie insane of this northland ? Certainly according to the stand
ards of modern society they are deserving of its recognition by
the government. Alaska is a permanent land, has a permanent
people and deserves permanent institutions for the care and
protection of the people within the territory. j
,!. I’luvius lias certainly decreed that Alaska is a wet coun
try, regardless ot what the prohibs may say.
-:o:
Another political skyrocket was set off in Cordova last
night, and we are on the eve ot a real pyrotechnic display .
-io :
It would be ungenerous, would it not, to suspect that it pri
vate understanding was reached as to how the brotherhoods
would vote in November it' they won their coveted point in Sep
tember? i x- JiJLllL Ji
-- ;o:-—
Carranza promised to put down V ilia. From last accounts
Villa was growing stronger and stronger. It must not be for
gotten that the reason Carranza obtained bis present position
was solely through the victories Villa won for him.
-1-:o:
The advanced price of copper shares and the phenomenal
sales of this metal are the sensation of the stock market. All of
which listens good to Cordovans, as this port is shipping near
ly $:>>,<>00,000 worth of copper glance to the smelter every month.
-:o:
Hail in New York seventy two hours from Berlin by Zep
pelin. There is some style about that. \Ve hope it will material
ize. It will make science take on a new, almost divine signifi
cance and supply a new proof that man is only a little lower
than the angels.
There is not a bit of common sense in saying: ‘‘A railroad
is big and strong and can stand any extra expense exacted from
it.” Railroads have not a cent except what is paid them by pen
pie who travel or send' freight on them. Whatever their ex
ponses the people pay them.
-:o:
A subtle joker Mr. Wilson is sure enough. When he claims
that the genius, the progress, the patriotism and the broad hu
inanity of the nation find their only embodiment in the Demo
cratic partv, then it is to laugh sure enough. And when at the
same time he makes it clear that the new glory of the party has
must I v from him the hilarity is greatly accentuated'.
