CORDOVA, AI.ASKA, T1HRSPAY, OCTOBEH ■'», 1916.
In a little while the elements will be storming the trenches
in Europe.
-:o:
Having tried watchful waiting, Greece sees no reason why
it should not be a republic.
-:o:
Austrian archdukes are being retired as fast as their mili
tary reputations are punctured'.
--:o:
Evert candidate on the stump thinks, or at least pretends
he does, that he has his opponent up a tree.
-:n;
Iceland reports great progress since the European war be
gan. Are the Democrats in control of Iceland, too?
-;0;-*
Irish emigration has fallen off 2.‘5 per cent this year. A fu
ture scarcity of policemen in America is forecast.
-;o:
George Dooley is being given much encouragement to the
westward in his campaign for territorial senator.
—-:o:
The Oklahoma woman who was married to two Hills at the
same time had <piite a range of matrimonial experience.
As 1 lie war progresses, fighting is constantly on a larger
scale with individual successes weighing less and less.
---;o:
m«ut*inu m mt* i iiiwu outlie m mmu
to compete with our vessels ought to he a spectacle to spur us.
-:o:
Prescient Wall Street has been placing bets of $10,000 to
$.■>,000 that Hu"lies will win. This is a whole bale of straw in
the wind.
——-:o:
That popular darky song in which the singer tells of being
abused “Constantly ” has nothing on the troubles of King Con
stant ine.
--:0:
When llii' radiograms of the London Wireless Press and
the Berlin Overseas News Agency collide there must be violent
disturbances in the other.
-;o;
The political fight in the First division is waxing warm,
and Wickersham seems to be the main issue with tin* Juneau
daily papers divided in their support.
-:o:—-—.
The country is beginning to get thoroughly acquainted with
Hughes. His big swing round the circle was a formal iutroduc
tion to the man who has been governor of New York and su
preme court justice, and now on his swing “inside the circle”
lie is becoming more intimately known. The vigor with which
he handles campaign issues promises much in the forcible hand
ling of the nation’s affairs.
•-:o:
The papers of the territory should organize, set a fair price
for campaign advertising, and absolutely refuse to mention a
candidate in any way whatsoever in connection with his cam
paign, until lie advertises legitimately. It seems the height of
foolishness to boost a man into a high salaried’office, whose only
recommendation from a paper’s viewpoint is his colossal nerve.
—Valdez Prospector.
-:o:-■
However severe we may be in condemning the Democrat
for failing to keep his promise to reduce the high cost of living,
he’s an ingenious cuss. Here prices are soaring, going up and
up, flour, sugar, meat — everything sky high—and now this
Democratic fellow not only is not stopping this upward flight,
but lie is going to make us like it. A Washington dispatch says:
“W. .1. Spillman, chief clerk of the farm management division
of the department of agriculture, appeared before a committee
of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers’ Association and
told of a nation-wide movement, to be started this fall, to deter
mine the cost of milk so that dairymen can earn reasonable pro
fits themselves.” Fp goes the price of milk and along comes
the government with a “perfectly good” alibi for the dairymen.
That venerable hoax about the ice worm which Alaska
sourdoughs delight to spring on the innocent cheechako will
have to be retired. In an interesting publication depicting tin*
beautiesol the national parks, just issued by the interior de
partment, appears the following relative to «the glaciers of
Mount I’ainier: “Many interesting things might be told of the
glaciers were there space. For example, several species of mi
nute insects live in tin ice, hopping about like tiny fleas. They
are harder to see than the so-called sand fleas at the seashore,
because much smaller. Slender, dark brown worms live in
countlesstnillions in the surface ice. Microscopic rose colored
plants iflso thrive in such great numbers that they tint the sur
face Imre and there, making what is commonly called “red
snow. ’ ’ *_
