TO OUR ADVERTISERS
Frequently during the past, much
to our disappointment as well as to
that of our advertisers, changes of
advertisements have failed to appear
in the Daily Times on the day the
copy was submitted. This was due
to the fact that sometimes several
advertisers desfre to change their
advertisements on the same day,
thus straining the limitations of the
mechanical department. Advertise
ments always are changed on the day
of the submission o' new copy when
possible, and frequently the hour of
going to press has been postponed in
order to accommodate our advertis
ing patrons. But this is most unsat
isfactory. The value of advertising is
greatly enhanced by its early appear
ance in the columns of the paper,
and when the paper is an hour or so
late in making its appearance the
value of the advertising is reduced
to that extent. This will readily be
appreciated by advertisers.
In order to handle ads properly,
and to give sufficient time to their
preparation to maintain the high
standard of workmanship which the
advertising columns of this news
paper now reflect, the Daily Times
requests the business people to sub
mit copy for advertising on the day
previous to the isue in which the
changes are to appear; where this is
impossible it should be in the hands
of the compositor not later than 10 a.
m. of the day of publication, in order
to insure its appearance.
We feel sure that the Cordova busi
ness people will be willing to co
operate with us in this matter, and
their consideration will be more than
repaid in assisting in the prompt ap
pearance of the paper and in the
chance given the workmen to repro
duce their ads correctly and artis
tically.
THE IRISH UNIONISTS
It was not to be expected that the
energetic campaign for the “freeing”
of Ireland by activities in this coun
try would be overlooked by the Irish
Unionists, and it is not to be won
dered at that they have resented the
“interference” with Irish affairs by
people who claim allegiance to this
government. In a speech delivered
at Belfast on July 12, the anniversary
of the Battle of the Boyne, Sir Ed
ward Carson, the uncompromising
leader of .the Unionists, spoke as fol
lows :
“There is a campaign going on in
America, fostered by the Catholic
church, which will soon be joined by
the Germans and their funds in or
der to create a great anti-British
feeling.
“Heaven knows I want good feeling
between America and this country.
I believe the whole future of the
world probably depends upon the
relations between the United States
of America and ourselves, but I am
rot going to submit to this kind of
a campaign, whether for friendship
or any other purpose.
“I seriously say to America today:
You attend to your own affairs; we
will attend to ours. You look after
your own questions at home; we will
look after ours. We will brook no
interference in our own affairs by
any country, however powerful. It is
not for that we waged the great war
of independence which has just beer
concluded. What right had an Amer
ican mission to some to this country
—come here in a breach of hospital
ity of one nation towards another—
to attempt to stir up strife in mat
ters in which they were not con
nected?
“The encouragement those men
gave the Sinn Fein party has created
for the British government far more
difficulties than ever before. I be
lieve that the visit of these men and
the encouragement they gave to law
lessness, which is being preached
throughout the land, has added
greatly to the campaign of assassina
tion of innocent policemen who were
only doing their duty to their king
and country, and who were foully
murdered on the roadside, with men
looking on who had not the courage
to arrest the assassins or give such
information as would bring them to
justice.”
Sir Edward Carson denounced Sir
Horace Plunkett, who, he said, was
elected chairman of the Irish con
vention because he was “thoroughly
hated and distrusted by both sides,”
and, added the speaker, “a nice
mess he made of it.”
INCREASED NEWS SERVICE
The Daily Times is pleased to an
nounce that, commencing with to
morrow, the very complete telegraph
ic news service which has been en
joyed by this newspaper will be con
siderably augmented by the addition
of a night service. In this way very
little in the way of the world news
will escape the readers of this news
paper. The additional service has
just been arranged by Harry G. Steel,
publisher of the Daily Times, who is
now in Seattle, in conjunction with
other Alaska newspapers.
In making this announcement it
will not be amiss to acknowledge the
co-operation of Colonel Lenoir, head
of the Alaska cable system, with
whom the arrangement has been
made. Colonel Lenoir always has
shown a disposition to assist the
Alaska newspapers, which are natur
ally handicapped in the matter of
obtaining Outide news, in the better
ment of the service.
The news service furnished by the
Times is in many respects superior
to that furnished by newspapers in
cities of much larger population in
the States, and it has often been re
marked that Alaskans are much bet
ter informed on current events than
are newspaper readers Outside, be
cause of the fact that the news, being
in more concise form, is thoroughly
digested; whereas the reading of the
great city newspapers is a task
which can be accomplished thorough
ly only by persons with plenty of
leisure. To give the news, and all
the news, in such form that a large
majority of the public can be thor
oughly informed as to the conduct
of the affairs of the government, of
happenings abroad, and of the daily
happenings of a busy world, is the
mission of the Daily Times, and this,
it may be said without boasting, is
being accomplished.
The following delicious bit of
humor is contributed the Ykldez
Miner by someone signing himself
“A Ruff nek”: “I see the President
told the senate that ‘the copper mine*;
of Montana and Alaska are being
kept in operation only at a great
cost and loss, and in part upon bor
rowed money.’ This is worse than ,
busting up the League of Nations and
is liable to break the heart of the
world. Nobody wants to see John D.
Ryan and Steve Birch begging in the
streets. Poor as 1 am 1 will start a
relief subscription with 30 cents to
save the pauperized copper mag
nates.”
We always have a supply of
pasteurized sweet milk and cream on
hand. Also buttermilk and Bulgarian
buttermilk. City Dairy. Phone 187.
