IT’S EASY TO GET TOGETHER
WHEN CORDOVA IS INTERESTED
.*■". ... 11 .. .—
¥ N Till1] great buttle that is being waged for the opening up
1 and development of the resources of Alaska there has been
^ v a practical demonstration in Cordova of how quickly one
forgets trivial and imaginary grievances and is willing to
work side by side with fellow citizens in the hope that the effort
put forth will be productive of some good for the community.
This spirit is commendable, and while Cordova may have
its factions the same as every other town in the territory, and
in fact, throughout the states, there is a local pride that over
shadows all of this bitterness, which is soon lost sight of in the
movement for a Greater Cordova.
And isn’t this a goodly demonstration of loyalty and pa
triotism, and whatever beneficial results are attained can be
attributed largely to tin* effective work being accomplished by
the local Chamber of Commerce, whose membership includes
most of the business and professional men of the town. It al
so illustrates in a good, old-fashioned way, how easy it is for
every sort of American citizefr to get and' work together for
any object that appeals* to them.
And how mflny things there are for Alaskans of every
sort to get together on and work together for, as compared with
the things for them to divide about; what a constant call there
is for them to sink their differences in order to forward their
own and their territory’s welfare.
Today the situation calls for all Alaskans to get together
for business, so that they will lx* able to reap the legitimate
reward that comes to a country that is on tin* eve* of a new
era of prosperity. Have not business conditions boon stag
nant for years, and as Alaska is now about to come into her
own, through the construction of a $35,(X)(),()(M) government
railroad, and the mining of our own coal, is it not up to tin*
people to stand together and share in this prosperity that is
their due7
No extraneous issue should lx* injected to cast asunder the
ties which now bind so many of our people together for the
common weal. Conditions are such in this Northland at pres
ent that call on the businessmen, the railroader, the mechanic,
and the sturdy pioneers to stand together in a sincere* effort to
preserve the spirit as well as the fact of Cordova’s faith in the
future of this particular section of a great empire* in the* mak
ing. as exemplifieel by the* comme ndable work of our hecal com
mercial organization.
Jtbove everything e*lse we want m> strife* here at this par
Above everything e*lse* we* want no strife* here at this par
spe*ct, anel shoulel continue* te> work together and keep toge*the*r
in a social way for the* big things that are* in ste.re fe.r those*
who have stooel by the* te.wn anel' country, le. the*se* many ye*nrs,
and are* now e*ntitle*el te. share ii^the rewarel for their patience*
and stick-to-it-iveness—not to permit anything te> e*mbitter us
against each othe*r, and thus mar gexxl fellowship anel the* je>v
of living in the* bright days, that are ahead.
Anel it’s just as easy te> ge*t togetlmr and liold elown a front
seat in the proce*ssion as it was te.r the* Chamber e.f Ce.mmerce
to reorganize alemg broader lines, and its membe*rs march side*
by side in its procession, which extendeel fre.m Ce.rdewa te>
YYashington, anel has attrae*t<*d the atte*ntiem e.i the.se* who are.
in a positie.n to start the* wheels ot industry humming through
put the Copper River valle*y. All Ce.rdovans have to eh. is to
is to do it
A moment or twe. te. catch step, anel all e.f us can be* in line*,
marching like good comrade's, inspired by similar aims, filleel
with the* same* enthusiasm, e*ae*h e*ncouraged ami encouraging.

President Wilson will support woman suffrage in his own
state, the gossips in Washington report- He has opposed it as
a federal issue, nnd quite naturally so. Tin* voice of the south
is by no means inaudible in the Whit House, and there are many
in the north who favor equal suffrage yet who insist that it
should he decided hy the states, each state for itself. President
W ilson’s attitude is perfectly consistent.
-:o:-—
W ar is conducted today as a highly modernized business,
fien. French, while 6n his recent three day’s visit to England,
directed the movements of his troops in the field’ by special tele
graph, as a broker would direct his home office in the sale and
purchase of bonds, and manage his industrial army.
— -:o—--.
Judging from the rule of “the people” in Mexico, “the
people ” of the Philippines, if given home rule, would give the
world a sample of government that would make an European
war trench look like a home for aged ladies in comparison. Ton
years of “home rule” might solve a difficult question by depopu
lating the islands.
--:o:- —
We are soon to learn what a citizen of the United States is
worth in Canadian money. It is said Canada will pay for the
hunters who recently were shot by soldiers while they were try
ing escape across Lake Erie*. Whether payment will be under
the ad valorem or specific system is not made known.
--:o:
Amateurs have used them singly to good advantage, but
for a tandem performance of Mr. Watchful Waiting and Mr.
Psychological Moment, those overworked stars, commend us to
Italy in these days of war with spoils in the offing.
---— :o:
Familiarity breeds contempt, all right. Just a few years
ago a rumpus in Central American states was sufficient to arouse
our interest- Now even the reports of the greatest war in his
tory of the world are read as quietly and casually as the news
of a lodge meeting.
— --:o:—
The Turks are said to be running short of food and they
are likely to make a meal off the Armenians at most any‘time.
