It is beginning to look very much as though Postal In
spector Neil had in mind the “smoking out” ot all Republican
holdover postmasters in Alaska, as he reduced the clerk hire
allowance to such a minimum at Cordova, Seward, Skagwav
and' Juneau that it was impossible to longer continue giving
efficient service, and as a result practically all of the post
masters affected have tendered their resignations. Possibly
w hen Democrats are appointed to these federal offices the de
partment will see its way clear to tfive them sufficient help to
properly conduct their offices. At least we hope so.
-:o:
The Washington Newspaper, to be published monthly by
the department of journalism, University of Washington, in
the interests of journalism, lias been born. Both Father
Editor Kane and child are doing well. The paper is good
humored and contains little enough of the “uplift” and' “ser
vice” business to make it very acceptable among the news
papermen of the state.
Goodness does not more certainly make men happy, than
happiness makes them good. We must distinguish between
felicity and prosperity; for prosperity leads often to ambition,
and ambition to disappointment; the course is then over, the
■wheel turns around but once; which the reaction-'of goodness
and happiness is perpetual.
■-:o:
According to telegraphic advices from Seward, naviga
tion is closed for tin* season on Cook’s Inlet, and five steamers
loaded with freight for Anchorage, were compelled to bring
their cargoes to Seward, where it will be discharged and re
main until next spring, unless a portion of it is freighted over
the trail this winter.
-:o:-—
Tin- popularity of the “unwritten law” as an apology for
killing seems to be waning. A Seattle woman was convicted
of murder, but it may have been due partially to the fact that
she possessed neither youth nor abundant beauty, two attri
butes which usually are held by .juries to be of great virtue.
-:o:
President Wilson, as fairy godfather of a set of Illinois
triplets, has agreed to furnish $500 for their education. For
the moment he seems to have forgotten the possibility of
eventualities in his own household.
—-- — ;n:-—
Announcement by Lieut. Fay, the German momb special
ist, that h edid not think it worth while to attack munition?
plants because damage could be easily repaired, should
further boom the war stocks.
- —— :o:--——
One of the market reporters has discovered a new art
that of “picking” potatoes. Having.completed that job, let’?
proceed to the harvest-home task of reaping the pumpkins.
-:o:
Ther eis another blockade of copper at Cordova, ore to
the value of $1,500,000 being piled up, and every southbound
ship taking a capacity load' of this precious metal.
---:o:
There is about as much sympathy for poker players who
are robbed in a houlup as there is for John D. Rockefeller in his
failure to keep an art shop out of his block.
--:o:-—•
If New Brunswick get sthose 6,000 German prisoners in
. i , . i *n i l i
Canada as loggers it is easy to see mai mey win <uwnv» ui- <n
loggerheads with their employers.
-:o:
It' Carranza is not inclined to deliver de la Rosa, the
bandit leader, to American .justice, he might be induced to
swap him for Huerta.
-:o:
Japan says the government of Yuan Shi Kai, by Yuan
Shi Kai, for Yuan Shi Kai, shill not perish from the earth,
just yet- anyway.
-:o:
Wellington Koo is the new Chinese minister to the United
States. There’s no question about the dove of peace from
that quarter.
The fact that witchcraft causes the death of hundreds of
thousands each year in Africa is further proof that it is a
black art.
--- —:o:
An embargo on the entire anatomy as well as arms seems
to be needed at the border, judging from fig leaf reports.
-:o:
Under Villa vice has thrived in northern Mexico. Under
Carranza it may be vice versa.
-— :o:
The wise merchant is beginning to plan his advertising
for the holiday season.
