CORDOVA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1917. I
England has had labor troubles aplenty in this war. Early I
in the struggle the coal miners of Wales struck for higher I
wages. The operators declared the workmen were unpatriotic. |3
Lloyd George investigated. He found that the mine owners S
were getting rich through raising the price of coal. They re
fused to accede to the demands of their men. They waved the
flag and told the men it was their patriotic, duty to work long
hours for small wages. Lloyd George saw the inconsistency of
this and he soon had the strikers back to work—on shorter
hours and at higher wages. ''*?*; *• „^ t
More than one prominent man has had a son who was
known as a “high flier," but few have dared to be uh proud of
it as the secretary of the interior. First Lieutenant Franklin
K. Lane, dr., aviation section, signal officers’ reserve corps, has
just been assigned to active duty at Kantoul, III.
We are more fortunate than the Germans in taking money
out of one j>ocket and putting it in another. We lend money to
the allies and they spend it with us, so we get not only the in
terest o nthe money, but profits on the transactions. War is

may have been—now, harsh as it may sound when applied to
“the fair and the gentle," there is no other word for it than
stubbornness, and the mulish kind, at that.
Many a man thinks he is a good citizen because he obeys '
the laws that prescribe what he shall not do. But the good citi
zen is the fellow who does things he should do. Ami few of the
things he should do are embodied in law.
The national sheep and wool bureau says only enough wool
is produced to provide every man in the country with a bath
ing suit annually. Shucks, who needs a new bathing suit every
year f
-:o:-—
Our army has adopted the European system, but that will
not prevent our boys from giving the world an exhibition id'
genuine American fighting.
«-:o:
Abolition of wheat speculation is a triumph for the com
mon people of America comparable, we are almost tempted to
say, with the abolition of czarism in Russia.
-:o:
Nicholas exiled to Siberia. What a world this would be if
always fate were to reverse the golden rule and do unto us as
we have done unto others.
-to:
The Red Cross will soon begin its big drive for member
ship, and you want to be prepared to have your name enrolled
on the Cordova chapter hooka.
-to:
When Lens falls it is sure to be badly broken, and as sorry
a spectacle as any of the other reconquered towns of France.
-to;-—
Gallantry forbids that we should not make some sort of a
mess fund contribution today.
-to:-.
Those “conscientious objectors” prove that a conscience,
too, may be over developed.
-:o:
Herbert C. Hoover made a flying staid that presages suc
cess.
-to;
Viennese thought they saw the dawn of peace in the British
labor row, but it was only a display of northern lights.
-to;
The rainy season is apparently here in dead earnest.
-to;
Vacation days are drawing to a close and the school child
ren will return to their studies next Tuesday.
-:o:
Big ore shipments are being made from Cordova on all
south-going boats.
-to;
American airplane plans leave no room for doubt that Uncle
Sam’s aims in the war are high.
-tO;---.
There are substantial evidences of prosperity in all see
tions of Cordova.
