And yet, dear Col. Roosevelt, it is probable that had' this
nation been prepared, it already would have been at war.
And now they sav that the peace advocates have smothered
our patriotism. What is patriotism—a desire to fight, or a de
sire to keep peace?
An inflammatory appeal to Mexicans urges them to rise
and seize Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and parts of
Oklahoma and Mississippi. Take Georgia, too.
The Anchorage Pioneer is soon to be launched as a daily
newspaper, and judging from the support it is now receiving
there is a field at the new railroad terminal for an afternoon
edition.
A headline says, “San Francisco wants the republican coon
vention.” Such a typographical error might addj another
undesirable animal to the already considerable menagerie in
American politics.
The price of copper continues high and the shipments of
ore from Cordova to the Tacoma smelter are constant!}' in
creasing, the value of the high-water mark reached being about
$2,000,000 a month.
The Valdez Prospector has been enlarged and’ otherwise
improved and under the management of Stewart & Selby is
making rapid strides forward. Our former townsipan, R. J.
McChesney, is the editor.
The word “evacuate,” says a Petrograd correspondent, “is
losing its terrors in the minds of the people who are beginning
to become accustomed to it.” The Petrograd writers will live
long in history as great humorists.
When Cordovans have any “courting” to do they usually
have to go to Valdez—as the federal bench here is seldom occu
pied. Possibly when we get our new public building things
will be different—at least we hope so.
The postotfice building question is assuming the character
istics of “Button, button, who’s got the button.” Uncle Sam
is willing to put in a first class office but cannot find a building
suitable for its requirements.—Valdez Prospector.
The Protheinus ball team has accepted the grand defy of
the Olympia Sluggers and agree to wallop the later aggrega
tion to their heart ’s content. The conflict will be waged on the
local diamond next Sunday and an awful carnage is assured.
The long delays in steamers reaching here from Seattle are
due to the ^act they are discharging large quantities of freight
at all way ports’, which goes to show that business is picking
up in Alaska and the steamship companies are coming into their
own.
The middle west is enjoying a summer winter, while in the
eastern and southern states they are suffering from excessive
heat. In Alaska it’s different. Here we have an equabal tempera
tun*, not hot, not cold—just right, and it’s mighty good’ to be
here.
Mrs. Secretary Lansing has turned the prow of the ship of.
state into the wind, jettisoned the grape juice, cleared the decks
for action, and announces that hereafter wine will be served at
diplomatic dinners given by the premier. If her armor plate
is thick enough she may weather the oncoming attack.
The German government, in order to conserve metal has
under taken to prevent the manufacture of lmoks and eyes.
There would be nothing lamentable to men in making Ibis a
world-wide movement as long as gowns have to be attacked
from the rear.
Secretary Lane will ask Congress, at the coming session,
for $8,000,000 or $10,000,000 for government railroad construc
tion in Alaska, and feels confident that he will secure this sum.
Mr. Lane is very optomistic as to the future of the territory, and
believes that in the end the railroad will pay for itself. He is
not in favor, however, of the proposal of a bond issue of $33,000,
000 for rushing the construction work.
Anything that tends to increase the small hapiness of daily
life is worth striving for, not for one’s self alone but for others,
particularly for those who have little opportunity to think or
work for anything beyond daily necessities. Often the fullest
appreciation will be found among this class and it goes without
saying that no other class stands more in need of the result of
such efforts. Raising the plane of living for individuals is
lifting the general plane. That knowledge should compensate
for many disappointments and annoyances as well as for much
thought and labor.
