ANOTRER BLOT ON GEORGIA.
For a state whose motto is “ Wisdom, Justice, Moderation”
Georgia has again disgraced itself, in allowing a well organized'
moh to storm the prison and drag from its walls Leo Frank,
whose death sentence Governor Slaton recently commuted to life
imprisonment. These law-breakers finally “got” Frank, as
they threatened they would and then hung him to a tree. Thus
is another lynching added to Georgia’s uneviable record in
that direction, for out of twenty-four lynchings in the United
States last year, eight or one-third, occurred in Georgia.

CORDOVA FINANCIALLY SOLID.
The general financial condition of a community is usually
indicated by the increase or decrease of the banking deposits.
The statement published today by The First Bank of Cordova
shows a marked increase in its deposits during the past three
months. Its deposits are larger than those of any Southwest
ern Alaska city, all of which indicates that Cordova is a sub
stantial city with a pay roll. Notwithstanding the fact that the
government has done practically nothing to permit of the de
velopment of this part of the territory considerable individual
work is being done and many men are employed' and saving
a part of their earnings.
-:o:
WHEN THE WAR SHALL BE OVER.
The great war will close after a while. We wonder if in
the breasts of the rulers of those countries there is not an un
spoken fear of what will come then.
When those who remain make lists of their dead, of those
so maimed that they will be a perpetual tax upon the strong
while their broken frames last; of the debts which they are
mortgaged to pay interest on all their lives, what will the sum
ming up of the unspeakable wrongs which have come to those
people be?
One would’ think that evangels would spring up in every
land to paint the picture of those wrongs and to demand a new
deal.
A deal in which never more could kings obsseed by a love
of power, of conquest, of unearned loot and lands, of glory
reeking with blood; of fame red with blood and shadowed by
broken hearts; would be squelched forever.
What a year did the peasant in his shed by the Don hold in
enmity against the peasant in his shed by the Danube?
What enmity did the Frenchman with his little three-acre
vineyard on the Loire or the Italian on the Po hold against the
German peasant with his cows and goats on the Elbe?
What was there in all the contentions that distracted the
rulers of Europe that a commission of business men could not
have settled justly a year ago?
Is it not true that justice was not what was sought?
And was not the impelling cause behind all, the belief that
was desired could be won through possessing more and more
effective means of killing the simple dupes who do the fighting
and dying than the other side possessed?
That is a game as old as the world. It started in the stone
age and the principle then invoked was that might made right.
Has that been changed with the rolling centuries? Have
increased learning and enlightenment done aught except to
teach men tbe art of scientific war and create new and more for
midable engines of destruction.
Has Christianity done aught except to give zealots new ex
cuses for wholesale murder that the domains of the Prince of
Peace might be entangled?
We hope it has; we hope that when this war is finally closed,
it will inspire evangels in every land to cry out for a change
of the ancient policy of barbarism and murder and to demand
that a reign of justice shall be ushered in. That under the new
adjustment if thrones remain those who sit upon them shall,
like the humblest peasant, be forced to obey the new dispensa
tion; they and their counsellors.
When that time comes we hope that our country will come
to the fore in demanding it, and in so potential a way that when
the new code shall be framed' and accepted by the nations, those
who have long waited, may feel assured that the reign of peace
on earth may be looked forward to with a hope of fulfillment.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Labor day is approaching and as yet no plans have been
formulated for a celebration.
Local business was considerably stimulated yesterday
by the many Nomeites who were aboard the steamer Victoria
en route to the states, and spent five or six hours in Cordova.
Seattle and all Alaska are to celebrate the purchase of this
territory from Russia, in 1917, the holding of celebrations, ac
cording to present plans. The big show will be held in Seattle
for a couple of days and an excursion will then start north and'
every town visited is expected to do the honors for the visitors.
