Juneau is to hold a big carnival next month to which all of
the Alaskan towns will be invited.
-:o:-——
If Italy formally declares war against Turkey the allies
Avill recede material assistance in its efforts to get through the
Dardanelles.
-:0——-—
No matter what his spokesmen bravely say about facing
the future, it’s a safe Avager that the czar would be glad if
somebody Avould make peace for him.
-:o:
The sinking of the Arabic means another international
complication for the United States, as two American lives Avere
lost when a German submarine torpedoed the White Star liner.
-:0:
Rain has added to the terrors of the Russian situation.
Swamps have closed many road's. There should be no surprise
if the Russian retreat, through it has been managed Avitli great
ability, becomes a great panic before it is completed.
In the ratio that brain Avork is applied to a business the
perspiration decreases. The business man avIio doesn’t have
time to read the trade journals or discuss affairs with his fel
lows usually is the one who slaves from dawn till dark for an
existence.
-:o:
The dancing masters, in conventio nassembled, resolve
that freak dancing shall pass and that hereafter we shall step in
unison. Thus they will deprive the flopping-haired youth
in a Gertie shirt and with knobby ankles fully exposed, and' the
tinted girl with nothing beneath, the only opportunity of their
sweet young lives to “be different.”
-:o
There is a Avide difference between watching the lien roost,
armed Avith a shotgun, and stalking up and down the public
highway, bristling with armament, and daring the chicken
thief to make a raid. Even the ultra pacificists must admit
the desirability of preparedness that will Avarn chance invaders
to keep away from Uncle Sam’s preserves.
-:o:
This business of Uncle Sam plying policeman to all the
jerkAvater countries of the tropics is producing fatigue. Our
generous plan of spending our millions in setting up an unbal
anced people to rule, and then presenting their repaired coun
tries to them on a silver platter without charge, belongs to an
age of knight errantry, but it is necessary.
Col. Bryan thinks prohibition and woman suffrage will not
be presidential campaign issues. His consultation of the stars
leads him to believe that economic questions are likely to re
main uppermost. Quite possibly true. The near-surrender of
the Panama canal and the tariff question are waiting at the
gate and' some wild horseman is liable to come loping in any
moment to ask President Wilson sharply who coppered his
promise to make the cost of living less.
-:o:
A physician attending the osteopathic association’s meet
ins at Portland blames ambitious mokeys of thousand's of years
ago because we walk in an upright position instead of on all
fours, and says ills of the stomach are largely due to the “tin
natural position.” We’d look fine doing the fox trot in that
position, or riding in auto cars. But some one is likely to
start a colony of believers in the “all-on-fours,” and he will
not be without disciples. No fad is too foolish for some fools
to follow.
-:o:
To the pioneers of Alaska it sounds rather funny to hear
warnings given to people to keep away from the territory.
What harm in the world would it do if a lot of young men did
come here and go broke? Why, in the old days men faced' the
Alaska wilderness when it was something to face. They went
broke. Men went broke who never knew before what the word
broke meant, and they dug their way out and made men of
themselves by doing it. There may be men who might come
here lacking the grit to face the music. If there are, keep them
out. But let the others come on. Alaska needs them and will
help them to take care of themselves.—Seward Gateway.
-:o:---••
(iood people generally sympathize with the colored folk
in their efforts to elevate the race and prevent public exhibitions
tha tmiglit have a tendency to discredit them. There is large
room for argument, however, on their demand for a regulation
that would prevent the presentation of such spectacles as “The
Birth of a Nation.”
The same protests might be made by the white race
against “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” on the ground that, because it
is a reflection on the entire race. Down East Yankees if they
were inclined to be finicky, might with equal right, protest
against “Shores Acres,” because it characterizes them as they
were 50 to 100 years ago and not as the Yankee of today. Once
started, there is no telling where the thing would stop.
