CORDOVA, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1915
Travel to interior Alaska will continue to increase un
til the trail breaks up.
-:o:
If all register who are entitled to there will be over three
hundre voters on the list for the municipal election.
-:•:---—
The time for the annual spring clean-up is drawing near
and when it arrives no time should be wasted in putting the
town in a thorough sanitary condition. Terminate the ger
mination of germs.
-;o:-—
That the voters are dissatisfied with the course of the ma
jority of the present council will be expressed in no uncertain
manner on April t» at the polls, the proper place for adjusting
all such grievances.
-: o:
.Just cast your eye over the ist of “Roughnecks” pub
lished in our local columns and decide for yourself whether or
not you want to turn the affairs of the city over to this crowd
tor the ensuing twelve months.
-•«:—•
The railroad boys say that they will have the rotary snow
plows in readiness the morning after election for those can
didates on the Citizens’ ticket who have been caught in the
avalanche and buried—0» so deep.
-;o:
With such men as V. A. Schmitz, Wm. L. Smith, Ilenty A.
Slater, Thos. C. Price, Geo. C. Hazelet, Bartley Howard and
Edgar J. Davis running for council it is no wonder that
voters intend to cast a straight ballot for the People’s ticket.
-:o:
The taking of the Dardanelles by the Allies, which feat
has now been practically accomplished, will mean much to
England, France and Russia. It will also mean much, but in
another way, to those poor, misguided Turks whose portion
appears to be cast in the role of “goats.”
----
The Alaskan was evidently only “spoofing” when it re
cently declared there could be no harmony in Cordova. Yes
terday it stated’ that “everybody is happy and contented.”
Tomorrow it may be expected to proclaim “the greatest strug"
gle in history” is being waged. Case of “off again, on again,
Finnegan.”
-—-: o:
The “official organ” asks Couucilmen Davis and Slater
what they did while in office to earn the support of the voters.
That paper made a mistake in putting its query that way. It
should have said: What could they do in the present council.
Answer—Nothing. Why? Because every attempt to intro
duce any measure by the minority members was blocked by
Boss Goodall and his fol'owers, the majority members.
•-:o:
At Washington a movement is on foot to unite the Pro
gressive and Prohibition parties. The plan of those who are
urging the program is to make Roosevelt and Hobson the ticket
for President and’ Vice-President in the next election on a plat
form demanding nationay prohibition, national woman’s suf
frage, national conservation and adequate preparedness for
war. There may be two drawbacks to contend with—that of
getting Roosevelt to stand for prohibition and getting prohi
bition to stand for Roosevelt.
-:o:
Juneau is now in the throes incident to a session of the
territorial legislature, the powers of which are so limited as
to make it a sort of good-natured, mild-mannered and' inoffen
sive joke. However, the people of Alaska are not satisfied
with their form of gavernment and are constantly advocating
something better. That success will crown their efforts in
the not distant future is practically certain, the policy of the
present administration at Washington being to do the very
best possible for the distant and formerly neglected territory.
-:o:
There was a time when the mention of the term “blue
laws” was made the mind harkened back to the early days of
our Puritan Fathers. But that is no longer necessary in Ju
neau. We are not satisfied with dictating to the kiddies, when
they shall get off the streets, Juneau has a curfew for her
grown-ups as well. There may be some good argument for
tlie eleven o’clock ordinance, but we cannot help thinking it
comes mighty near being an invasion of the liberties of the
people.—Juneau Sunday Post.
---.
That Alaska will become ultimately a very prosperous
country and a valuable feeder for the rest of the United States,
is the opinion of the Louisville Courier-Journal, as expressed
in a recent editorial. “Alaska has gold’, copper, coal and other
minerals in great abundance,” truthfully remarks that publi
cation, “and millions of acres of lands adapted to agricul
ture, which insures rapid development when railroad facilities
are provided.” This is not news to northerners, but it is at
least encouraging to find outsiders beginning to realize the
importance of our country.
-——:o:
The governor of Missouri has issued an invitation to the
governors of all the other states to meet with him on April 6th
lor the purpose of protesting to the national authorities against
sending a pound of freight or supplies of any description what
soever, aside from hospital aid and relief to the starving, to any
one ol the warring nations. The governor of Missouri says
that such a course on the part of the United States would do
away with all complications incident to the somewhat vague
laws of neutrality, elude all danger from loss of ships in block
ade zones, and do much to bring the war to a close.
Dissent ion and strife have crutractcrized municipal affairs
during the reign of Uoodnll, Boyle, et nl., and the people of Cor
dova propose to put an end to this bickering on April (i by rel
egating these misfits to private life.
