HEARST SHOULD BE EXPATRI
ATED
From time to time (luring the war,
and often the past few months, dur
ing the senate investigation, it has
been shown repeatedly that William !
Randolph Hearst was so close to I
those at the head of the German prop
aganda in the United States that. !
whether or not he received money |
from them, his sympathies were with
them, and mail) of his star writers
were well rewarded for the despicable,
part they played, though each was
careful to toll tin* senate investigat
ing committer. so well enlightened by]
Chief Ilicluski of the bureau of in
vestigation, that his employer, lleurst,
did not know that tie was being paid
by German agents.
Early in the game a discredited
renegade named Archibald, who posed
as a war rot-respondent during the
■Ta panes,'- Russian war. was smoked
out. and following (lie expose of his
part in tile German propaganda, one
after another or those who have dis
graced their profession, from ilrls!
bane down, have been put in their!
proper light by the senate committee !
investigating the national beer busi-j
ness and German propaganda, and the ]
secret campaign carried on in this j
country by (tie Huns
And through it ail the slimy trail ]
oi Mr Hearst is plainly discernible.
I’ossihly it ran not tie proven, hut it
is absurd to think that Hears! did not
know of tip money bring paid out, if
lie did not actually receive his bit.
and it would lie an excellent thing if
Mo other states in the t'luon would

tin- sale of a Hearst paper within its
boundaries. /
He hits persistently played the tin
man game from the beginning, and
while some have sought to excuse him ,
on the grounds of his haired for Eng
land. they have made a very poor case, j
and he stands revealed in his true ,
light, unworthy of the respect of any
American.
Suppose he was not in love with
Kngland. There are plenty of people
in the United States and elsewhere
who are not. but it did not deter them
from being on the side of the right
when it came to making a decision.
And in that connection, it is to the
lasting shame of the Irish people at
home, not those in America, that less
than 4 per cent of the men who should
have gone to the front from Ireland
were in the armies battling (he Hun.
Hut that is diverting. Tills man
Hearst. in a position to have been a
great power for good to the honor of
bis country and himself, chose to side
with his country's enemies, and his
countrymen should make him a man
without a country.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
About the quickest way to get jobs
for soldiers is to release them and let
them get jobs for themselves. The
great majority of them hud good jobs
when they enlisted, and the same jobs
are waiting for them. The sympathy
displayed for fear the labor market
will be overcrowded is very touching
but unnecessary. Valdez Miner.
We were proud of the boys when
they left us to join the colors. We
entertained and otherwise made much
of them; and we have had no reason
to be ashamed of any with the excep
tion of the few who showed the yel
low streak, and that before they had
veil left Alaska. Now that they are
coming buck ii would seem appropri
ate to prepare for a grand welcome
home. They are our boys still, and
have risen in our estimation. Ketchi
kan Miner.
The old rumor that Cordova is at
tempting to get the court house away
from Valdez has again bobbed up to
pester the fearsome; but that the
rumor is without foundation goes
without saying. Despite the unfair
discrimination of hie steamship com
pany, Cordova has her hands full to
hold on to what she already has, and
so far as we are aware lias no inten
tion of adding to her troubles by
starting a scrap with the three rival j
cities of (his division. The depart
ment of justice has spent too much
lately on the buildings to throw the
money away. There is no reason for
apprehension over the hundred rumors
continually flying around the streets
of every small town in Alaska.—Val
dez Miner.
The New York World says there
lire main ways in which the post
iflice department can spend surplus
unds to advantage. Right! A good
leal of ii could be spent in Alaska —
uni the time is at hand when some
>f it should be forthcoming. Keonomy [
s always commendable, and a large I
onplus in any department of the gov j
■rnmetit i. very much appreciated !
luting war times, particularly, but the j
nisi of lire department was organized to
iervi1 tile people, and every reason In I
aver of its organization is a reason j
illy the service should he good. The j
vnr bring over, the people of the |
ountry have a right to have the mail
rrvire improved. And the room for
mprovemenl in Alaska is vast.—Ju ■
ii-au Umpire. ',
Alaskans are the greatest birds of
passage on earth. No sooner do they
finish one thing than they are ready
to tackle something else. The latest
thing that Is talked about both in the
States where Alaskans congregate and
talk things over and In Alaska where
the mushers gather is Siberia Many
old-timeres who have follow'd every
stampede from the Cassiar to the
Shushanna are now talking of taking
a look at the former home of the Rus
sian exiles. Someone has said that
If an Alaskan stampeder died and
went to heaven and some friend of his
would stroll in, looking mysterious,
the old stampeder would tie down his
| wings, leave his harp with seme road
j house keeper friend as security for a
j grubstake and hit the trail for some
J more heavenly heaven than the one
lie was in. He would prohaItl.v come
| buck in tin' fail with many of his
feathers gone out of his witn anil his
robes in tatters, hut It" would do the
same thing again at tie- lea ' provoca
tion. and talk the same friend into let
ting him have another grubstake.

It is quite probable tha' the next
session of the Alaska legi intive us-j
sembly, which meets in March next,
will be called upon to pa what is
termed a "lazy husband ad." This j
i act Is in force and effect in tin- state;
; of California and lias been a
pronounced success. Ilrb-tly stated,
the act applies to married men who
fail to properly provide for the wants !
and necessities of their wives and
families. We have had a few in
stances in this community where re
calcitrant husbands have taken their
departure from their home-, going to !
parts unknown, and leaving wives and j
families wholly unprovided for. Such
a condition is not only a gross iujus- I
tice to mothers and small children. I
hut it is likewise an imposition upon
the general public, which is - ailed to
come to the rescut in case of want {
and suffering. The human brutes who i
would leave wives and infant - itt want
and misery are deserving of no sym- i
pathy or consideration whac-ver.
The passage of a lazy husband act j
would permit the strong arm of the j
law to reach out and take in custory
wife-and-chlldren deserters, force them
to find employment, or got i! for them. I
and turn their earning! over to the
wife or children, uh the case might be.
We recommend the introduction of
this salutary act for the consideration
of the territorial senator from this
community lion. Thomas C. Price—
