WE ARE AT PEACE
/
-•
There is no need to worry. We
arc not at war with Germany and our
relation to that country is, for all
practical purposes, no different from
what it would have been had the
treaty been ratified. But there will
be a declaration of peace in the near
future, so that all necessary formal
ities will be gone through with. We
have escaped a great danger, as mem
bers of all parties admit. Mr. Wilson
knows it and so does every thinking
student of public affairs in the coun
try. Our Constitution is no longer in
danger, our form of government is
no longer menaced, our country need
no longer fear the danger of sending
a.n army to fight on foreign terri
tory at the behest of a foreign power,
whether the side for whieft we are
asked to fight shall be right or wrong.
Mr. Wilson and his party may go to*
fhe country on the issue which he has
raised, namely the entanglement of
this government in foreign politics
and foreign wars in which we have
no issue at stake, but we think that
they will find the great mass of the
voters will by their votes show that
they unite with us in saying: “Thank
God for a patriotic United States
Senate.” Mr. Wilson has lost the sup
port of the patriotic element of his
party, who hereafter will be found
aligned with those who have for
their motto “America first.”
ALASKA NEEDS
The recent remark of an Alaskan
to the senate committee on commerce
that “Alaska needs home rule far
worse than Ireland does,” draws at
tention anew to the needs of our
northern neighbors, apparent for
many years, and still unsatisfied. It
Is true that a government railroad
being built with federal funds, that
the natural resources have been more
adequately opened to development,
anti that some of the great needs of
the territory hav been met, but re
organization of Alaska for future
building has yet to be perfected.
To a recent inquiry from the Unit
ed States senate the acting secretary
of the interior indicated the steps that
have been taken for Alaska’s needs
together with seme suggestions as to
the requirements, unmet, for the im
mediate future. The department has
had surveyed over a million acres of
agricultural lands designed for entry
and patent by settlers. Much of this
is tributary to the new railroad. Coal
and o*il lands have been opened to
leasage. There is need for rail traf
fic to be developed and facilities to
this end are lacking.
Former Secreary of the Interior
Lane has also advised the senate to
the same effect. H suggested the
need of a commission, with an of
fie in Alaska, to administer the na
tional affairs; the sale of live stock
to settlers; the federal farm loan
privileges extended to Alaskans; ade
quate construction of roads and trails
feeding the railroad and connecting
settlements; development of the rein
deer industry in the tributary terri
tory of the rail lines; publication of
illustrated literature describing the
advantages of Alaska.
There should be no reason why,
with the federal government in charge
«f Alaska’s future, its welfare should
he neglected. Most of Uncle Sam’s
wards in the past have been kindly
treated. Alaska wants more home
rule by people living on the ground,
who know its needs, and this, if we
mistake not, is the suggestion of Mr.
Lane, who knows. These needs can
not be opposed openly on any just
grounds, and we believe the territory
i» about due to have its reasonable
d^rpands met.—Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer.
WOULD HE? OH! MAN!
Wouldn’t Woodrow like to wake up
same morning and find out that lie
had been dreaming all this stuff about
having brought back a treaty of peace
with a league of nations covenant?
Oh, Boy, that would be a grand and
glorious feelin’.—Pueblo (Colo.) Sun
day Opinion.
“THE WINNING GIRL”
LAST TIME TONIGHT—
BERT LYTELL SUNDAY
Repeated tonight for the last time,
Shirley Mason in “The Winning Girl,”
a picture that is interesting, full of
action and which nicely blends com
edy and drama. A late number of
Pathe News, and a single comedy
round out an entertaining program.
Tomorrow night popular Bert Ly
tell appears in a brand new role. It
is easy to imagine him as clubman,
athelete, cowboy, business man. or
even gentleman crook, but a preacher
—never! But he puts it over, not
the sissified parlor social pet, but a
virile, forceful he-man. The young
sters of the village are fast going to
the devil. Pulpit eloquence will
never stop them, The rich pillars of
the church turn a deaf ear. Is he
discouraged? Not that you would
notice. Tomorrow night at the Em
press. And for good measure, the
program will include a Pathe News
and a travel picture.
