SULZER’S VOTE DWINDLING DOWN.
I he Ketchikan Progressive-Miner, one of the most ardent
supporters of Chas. A. Sulzer, delegate to congress, sizes up the
territorial political situation as follows:
“Say, you fellows who have been crowing to beat the
band because you thought you had' Wick, on the hip, had bet
ter haul in your horn; don’t you think? The way it looks now,
Sulzer is likely to be found to have received no vote at all.
From better than 500 votes in tin* lead a few days after election,
according to the latest report, lie has less than 50 votes ahead
of Wick. At the rate the votes have been dwindling down,
there is no telling where Sulzer will land. Bearing that in mind,
it would perhaps be better to swallow some of our crowing be
fore it is too late. Even if it is lumpy. By doing so we need
not think that we are throwing the senator down. On the con
trary, we are only getting from under an embarrassing position
that is decidedly unpleasant to contemplate.
“Of course it is always well to keep a stiff upper lip. It
is more manly. Nevertheless there is a such a thing as beine
foolishly stubborn. But as pitiful as our situation may be, w<
may consider ourselves fortunate that we are not occupying the
position of those who voted for Wick., but when they found
that Sulzer was leading and his victory appeared certain, pro
claimed their admiration for the apparent victor. More, him
dreds claimed to have voted for him. What are they going tr
do? Won’t some one help them out of their predicament? For
they are in a deuce of a fix, to say the least.”
-:o:
PARIOTISM MORE IMPORTANT THAN POLITICS.
Now that the national and territorial campaigns have
passed, men are turning back to the calm of everyday life, am
wondering that they got so excited over the result of the elec
tion.
Still, the theory on which our government is founded, h
that the government must represent the will of all the peoph
as expressed through their votes, and that those votes are tlx
only safeguard of the country short of war.
How sacred should that ballot be; how profound should lx
the gratitude of those who are permitted to wield it; how inci
should struggle to be worthy to exercise that privilege.
And when we think that the privilege is extended to mil
lions who have not sought to obtain any knowledge to guid<
them; of the other millions who hold it merely as merchandise
and are ready to barter it for a petty consideration; of tlx
others who never thought it should be the very highest expres
sion of a true citizen’s patriotism and intelligence, we wouh
almost despair except that there is an inherent sanctity abou
it, and when the full will of tlx* people is expressed through tlx
ballot, it seems to be the will of God.
Sometimes thoughtful people cannot shake off the impres
sion that, after all, men are not exalted beings, a little lowe
than the angels, but that they represent while here, a sort o
Punch and Judy show, to dance as the string is pulled by tlx
unseen hands that set the stage, the unheard voices that call tlx
acts in the guidance of nation’s tragedies and comedies, am
that nations, like men, are only born to run their courses am
then fall back to dust.
Thoughtful men sometimes deplore the fact that many ig
norant people are given the ballot.
But an education does not give a man the inspiration b
vote right.
Our belief is that a school of patriotism is what is mos
needful in the United States.
Military training in our schools should make part of tlx
kindergarten course. More time in schools and in the home
should be devoted to supplying, in easy lessons, a knowledge o
our institutions, and the difference between them and othe
lands; in explaining the progress that lias come from them ii
so brief a time; what our flag really represents; the majest;
that attaches to it and why it should be reverenced as no flaj
ever was before.
We sometimes think that a righteous war is not a bad de
vice to sweep away the “cankers of a long peace,” and fore
men to comprehend how much native land is to them and wh;
their very highest duty is to guard it with a jealous love alwav
on the alert to protect it.
At the same time the most discouraging fact of all time i
the war in Europe. A dozen enlightened' nations are killing
their people by thousands every day, and there is not intelli
gence and patriotism enough in them all to call a halt and per
mit reason to assume its rule.
And all but one claim to be Christian nations, and tliei
frenzy seems to be just as fierce and cruel and unreasoning ai
though the cross had not been shining down upon them foi
nineteen Jiundred years. It shakes the faith and saddens tlx
heart to watch them.
SHORT ARM JOLTS.
The many Cordova friends of Dan Sutherland, of Ruby
will be glad to know that he was re-elected, defeating Tom Me
Gowan, of N. C. Company fame, by over 400 majority.
Four weeks from today until Christmas. Isn’t it aboul
time to look around for your holiday gifts? Don’t postpom
your shopping until the last minute. You know the story aboul
the early bird.
As the days pass by Delegate Wicktrsham looms up biggei
in the election returns, and unless Marshall City “digs up’’ that
big plurality for Chas. A. Sulzer that the Democrats have boast
ed of, his chances of succeeding himself are exceptionally good,
If we are to have a band that will be a credit to the town it
must be supported, and the benefit ball on Thanksgiving night
will give you an opportunity of contributing your mite to a
good cause, and at the same time receive full value for the
money spent.
