MACBETH I AN
There is something almost super
natural in the multitude of natural
agencies which directed the course of
a life belt of the Lusitania, which
was sunk five years ago off the
coast of Ireland. Bearing strands of
a woman’s hair, encrusted with sea
growth, covered with weeds, the life
belt drifted with the gulf stream
down the coast of Africa, across the
Atlantic, up the coast of the United
States, into the Delaware river, to be
picked up at Philadelphia. It was in
Philadelphia, three days after the fam
ous “too proud to fight” address. If
the currents of the Potomac had not
prevented, the life belt might have
drifted up to the very doors of the
white house.
“GOODS INSTEAD OF GOLD”
Declared exports from London to the
United States for the first six months
of the current year aggregated $186,
000,000 in value, according to United
States Consul General Robert P. Skin
ner. For the same period of 1919
they aggregated $59,000,000. The total
value of imports from the entire
United Kingdom for the whole fiscal
year of 1914, the year before the war
broke out, was $294,000,000. Those
from London alone for six months of
the second year following the armis
tice were 63 per cent of that figure
“I believe in the protective tariff pol
icy and know we will be calling for
its saving Americanism again” said
Mr Harding in his' speech of accept
ance. So say we all of us. The Dem
ocratic platform has once committed
itself to free trade in its San Fran
cisco platform
VOTE STRAIGHT
And don’t forget^that election of a
Democratic majority in either house of
congress means a return to that nar
row sectioriXJism which gave the
South control of all important commit
tees and control of national legis
lation.
AS KAHN SEES HIM
That men whose views are American
to the core will support Senator Hard
ing, the Republican nominee for pres
ident of the United States, is unques
tioned. Otto Kahn, an economist of
New York has attracted wide atten
tion for the wisdom of his views has
this to say in a telegram to Senator
Harding:
“You represent and exemplify in
your career that calm-minded, unspqa*
tacular, resolutely American type, *
which is equally opposed to the sel- 1
fish reactionary and to the Utopian
radical, believes firmly in the time
honored and tested doctrines, spirit
and tradition of the American consti
tutional system of government.”
COX LAID DOWN
That two men’s minds should be
“absolutely at one” on a question as
complicated as that of the League of
Nations is as impossible as for two
men to have identically the same fin
ger prints. The only explanation of
the outcome of the Wilson-Cox con
ference is that Cox surrendered to
Wilson. In the hope of winning
through the Wilson influence, he was
willing to let his mind go along with
that of the president.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Alaska is not the only" country that
has waged war upon birds of prey.
Canada before the war gave a bounty
of $2.50 on eagles, owls and hawks.
The purpose was to destroy these
wolves of the air in the interest of
saving more valuable wild and domes
tic species of animal life.—Juneau Em
pire.
We have had long, lean months of
adversity; prices have gone higher
and higher, and the outlook for the
winter is not so good as it might be.
The music made by the bottom of the
flour barrel and the wrinkels in the
sugar sack are mighty poor comfort
to we-uns. But one bright spot ap
pears in the horizon: Huckleberry pie.
—Valdez Miner.
Col. W. B. Greely, chief forester of
the United States, is at the present
time paying an official visit to the
national forests of Alaska. Colonel
Greely is authority for the statement
that the forests of Alaska can annual
ly produce enough pulp to supply half,
the consumption of the United States.
This is a direct way of giving people
an idea of the great potential wealth
in wood pulp alone in the territory.
Who can doubt but that in the course
of a few years part, if not all, of this
timber will be used, and that the
wealth of Alaska will be increased
and many thousands more inhabitants
will be added.—Douglas News.
Dan Sutherland, candidate for con
gress on the Republican ticket, is mak
ing friends in Anchorage who will
support him at the polls in November.
In his quiet, unassuming manner Mr.
Sutherland appeals to the people who
further realize the force of character
which dominates the man. A Repub
lican congressman from Alaska is
essential this year. It is practically
conceded that Senator Harding will be
elected president of the United States
in November; moreover, the election
of a Republican house will be an easy
task in the states. The gain of a
Republican house will give the new
administration a free hand in national
affairs which is essential to the restor
ation of normal conditions. Mr. Su
therland is neither a politician nor
an office-seeker, but simply a plain
and honest Alaskan with the courage
of his convictions and exceptionally
well qualified to represent all things
Alaskan with which he is so closely
affiliated. Dan Sutherland is a man’s
man and the tried and true friend,, of
the best interests in the territory. He
is worthy; he is capable, and should:
be elected.—Anchorage Times. j

COX TO VISIT WEST
DURING SEPTEMBER
!
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 17 (by As
sociated Press). — Senator Harrison,
chairman of the Democratic speakers’
bureau, will arrive here tomorrow for
a conference with Governor Cox on
speaking trips, and to map out the
governor’s Pacific coast tour in Sep
tember.
The act of congress of February 1,
1905, allows the exporting of pulpwood
■and wood pulp from the national for
ests of Alaska, and the act of June
4 1897, authorizes the sale of timber
on all the national forests.
—-— ■ ♦
The transition in ten years of the
United States from an exporter of
newsprint to an importer securing two
thirds of its supply' abroad subject
to any restrictions which may be to
the interest of the exporter to impose,
will make it to the interests of paper
users to patronize the maniffacturers
of Alaskan pulpwood.
As any pulp mill in southeastern
Alaska would be built on tide water
and as the tidal vibration is about
1. 5to 20 feet, there would be no dif
ficulty in satisfactorily disposing of
:he wastes into the sea. On this ac- ;
30unt the mills in the region would <
lave an advantage over the great ma- i
iority of the mills in the United
States.v

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17 (by As
sociated Press).—Carl F. Weber, civil
war veteran who died here recently
bequeathed his $900 to the burgomas
ter of his native village in Bavaria
to be used in providing free pastur
age for the goats for the poor. The
will was attacked in court, but after
letters from the old country telling
of the hardships of relatives who had
lost their goats through lack of pas
turage were read, the will was held
to be valid.

ARIZONA’S NUDE WILD
MAN GIVING PEOPLE
THAT SECTION THRILL
MIAMI, Ariz., Aug. 17 (by Associat
ed Press).—This town has been wish
ing some circus would come along and
capture a man guaranteed to be wild
enough for and sideshow. He first
appeared several months ago on a
hillside near Copper Glance.
He was clad in nothing but an
abundance of Arizona atmosphere and
Miami people who observed him in the
distance immediately notified the po
lice. An unavailing chase followed.
Since then, the mysterious stranger
has been seen several times lurking
on the outskirts of the town. One day
when the menfolks of an outlying
neighborhood were off at work, the
“wild man” appeared. He was clothed
with agility and mournful howls.
There was an immediate exodus
toward Miami proper and the police
; had another hard run for nothing. No
, body has been able to establish the
| man’s identity or the reason for his
antics.
Manufacturers of pulp and paper in
British Columbia and Alaska have
little to fear from each other and much
to gain in the common development
of the Pacific coast region.
