CORDOVA WELCOMES COLLIER PROTHEMUS.
The arrival in our harbor of the big collier Prothemus,
yesterday afternoon, was a welcome sight and to the officers
and crew Cordova extends greetings and a most cordial wel
come, and will do all in its power to make the stay of our visi
tors a pleasant and memorable one. To Commander Offley the
keys of the city were turned over by Mayor Slater and that he
and his men may enjoy themselves while in Cordova is the wish
and hope of all of our people.
The Prothemus is a floating machine shop and foundry,
fully euquipped to do all repair work that can be done at a
naval yard. Extensive improvements are to be made at the
Whitshed navy wireless plant, and a civilian radio party of
about forty men is with the collier for that purpose. It is ex
pected that the Prothemus will be here for at least two months
and again we say Welcome. Cordova is glad to have you with
us.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
Mt. Rossevelt again is in violent eruption but is not creat
ing general alarm.
It really loks as if the kaiser were trying to start something
in the Balkans which all Europe won’t be agle to stop.
When a nation is hankering for a fight any old excuse goes.
Italy has not been remiss in giving humor to history’s somber
pages.
The^chool. term opens next Tuesday when the youngsters
will again return to their studies after a most enjoyable vaca
tion of three months.
The flood-gates have opened up in a way that would indi
cate that we are to pay the penalty for the enjoyment of sev
eral months of almost continuous sunshine.
Next Monday will be Labor Day and if the weather is pro
pitous some sort of a celebration should be arranged. Possibly
the Prothemus has a ball team that would be be willing to try
conclusions with the Cordova nine.
Villa’s car has been attached by a woman who says she
paid him a large sum of money to save her brother’s life but
Villa went ahead and shot him. A contract not to murder is
contrary to Villa’s constitution.
The Federal Industrial Relations committee has spent the
$500,000 allowed for the quest of discovering what labor and
capital are quarreling over, but the discovery was not made,
and we may be asked to put up another half million to find out
why Chairman Walsh is mad at himself.
“Nothing the allies have done has lightened by a feather’s
weight the pressure maintained on Russia,’’ says the Petrograd
correspondent of the London Post, which bears out, in a way,
the joke now going the rounds to the effect that England' will
fight until the last Russian, Frenchman, Italian, Belfian and
Serbian is dead!
Another advantage of a Texas storm is that the snakes,
crawl over the person who is floating along lazy-like with the
incoming tide, and sometimes they bite. The victim then has
recourse, without pritanical criticism, to the usual cure for
snake-bite. A prohibition law would be a rather serious thing
for a snake state.
The Germans seem to have received a hard blow in the
Gulf of Riga, ami Russia is transported with joy as the naval
defeat relieves, to a certain extent, the menace to Petrograd.
But the kaiser’s land forces gradually are creeping northward
anti the capture of the Russian capital is not at all unlikely un
less severe pressure elsewhere distracts the eastern army.
Tht* press agent of the mob that hanged Leo Frank hastens
to deny that the body was mutilated or that there was any in
tention to mutilate it. We are given to understand that the
mob’s dignified and orderly aim merely was to carry out the
order of the court which had condemned Frank to death, and
that it was not overriding the law, but the governor’s order.
There are many who will accept all this as a squaring up of the
mob’s course with the law of God and man.
Lsually, in order to know something about anything we
have to study it. Landlubbers of interior states who are ad
vising the secretary of the navy what to do for protecting the
coasts of the Vnited States should be aware of this fact.
Steamboat inspectors recruited from alfalfa and corn farms
might he blamed for many of our marine disasters. The sea
men's bill, inspired by a “jjjautieal” senator who obtained
much of his information in Wisconsin, is au excellent sample of
bow we do things.
