GERMANY SHOWS RIGHT SPIRIT.
While the German note to America is not all that was
wished for or expected, the friendly spirit of the leu tons to
wards this country is shown hy the tact that they made any
concessions at all.
Wherever our sympathies may lie, it is hut fair to acknow
hdge that when Germany gives up the use of the submarine,
she is abandoning the only naval weapon she thus far has been
able to utilize in this war.
Hopelessly outclassed by the allies in warships of all
classes, she has been forced to conduct her naval warfare from
beneath the sea, the only lanes which are open to her.
The submarine, while an effective weapon, is most vulner
able, and is in no way fitted to withstand attack. Any unarmed
freighter, under favorable conditions, could ram and sink a
submarine without injury to herself. For this reason, the sub
marine warfare as conducted by the Germans, lias been ruth
less to the extreme, the commanders refusing to place their
vessels in jeopardy by appearing on the surface.
If the German submarine commanders will in the future
^,i\(* warning to the vessels to be attacked, thus allowing tin*
crews time to take to the boats, she will have no trouble with
America, and according to the wording of her latest note to
President Wilson, it is her intention to avoid the unnecessary
sacrif’e" of human life in her under water fighting.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
WImt arc our lawmakers doing anyhow? Arc they asleep?
We wonder. Hen* we are—and have been—coaxing, praying,
ini)timing, begging. More, we are making “googoo eves to
every fisherman to conic to our port and give us a chance to hid
for his catch, yet very little attention he pays to our entreaties.
For this month we may reach the enormous figure of 400,
000 Is of fish; win t as a matter of fact we should show
millions of pounds instead; all due to the tact that our law
makers refuse to adopt I lie Canadian law as our own. Which is
ill in God’s green earth they would have to do. To think of it
makes us sick.
Some of our smart lawmakers will ask: \\ here is the fish
going to? To the United States, of course, by way of a foreign
port. If the fish was taken to Seattle; or any other American
port; it wouldn’t bo so bad, because our citizens would derive
some benefits, but as it is, a foreign country gets the benefit.
And at that, a country that imposes a duty mi its fish to prevent
it. from being shipped to another country without getting some
revenue from it. Canada wants to save her fish, and in the
< Vent it is sold outside of her domain* sin* wants some profit,
which is right. Then why not do the same when all we have to
do is to adopt Canada’s fish regulations. With us, our fish is
destroyed arid a few men get a little benefit by going to a for
eign country to ship it, while bur own country loses fish, reve
nue and'everything else. Yet our lawmakers keep on sleeping.
Wake up, you people; can’t you see that we need attention!
We may look small to you—and possibly we are small, yet you
cannot consistently deny us the rigid to claim an interest in our
fish industry, because we are American just as much as any
five traders; which isn’t saying very much. We beg your
pardon! We forgot that this administration favors free trade,
consequently to protect us would be contrary to its policy.
Mush on! ami by the way, stick to your right and after a while
we shall reach another administration that may not be adverse
1o protecting its own citizens.—Ketchikan Miner.
THE FUTURE.
1 *
Now is the day of prediction, and wo are firm in the belief,
that come what may, the Stars and Stripes will float as proudly
over our public buildings, the capitol building at \\ ashington,
from the masts of our battleships and' in our military camps
1,000 years from now as they do today. Let those who seek to
clothe malevolence with commiseration remember that the
United States lias weathered storms before. Americans are
not a race meekly to bow the head to injustice. We need no
sympathy.
Some day, probably 1,000 years hence, a learned judge will
declare that it was Douglas, not Lincoln, who was the great
emancipator. He yvill show that Lincoln, untutored afcd un
couth, never could have risen to such heights. Meantime we
have the Cook-Peary controversy still fresh in our minds. Why
go further in attempting to enlighten that Chicago judge in
the Shakespeare business?
. -:o:- ,
Its a good thing for James M. Sullivan that lie had Uncle
Sam to appeal to when the British got a hold on him. Here
after it is safe to say Jim will confine his activities to this side
of the water.
-:o:
The destruction of tin* super-Zeppelin by the French fleel
at Saloniki, which was witnessed by the entire population
would make the fortune of the man who was lucky enough tc
catch it with a moving picture camera.
