ICE-BOUND KETCHIKAN
Rule forty-seven hundred and eleven
of the rules of the American Express
Company says that “pigs is pigs,” and
the next one emphatically states that
Ketchikan is an ice-bound port and
that nothing can be shipped to that
port from Seattle until June 1, when
the ice clears out.
Witness the truth of this, points
out the Ketchikan Chronicle, by the
following letter received by Frank P.
McCurdy from William H. Hand, Jr.,
naval architect, of New Bedford,
Mass. It reads:
“Your strut and stuffing-box have
been ready for shipment for some
time, but unfortunately the local ex
press company refuses to handle it.
They claim there is no boat running
from Seattle until June 1, and they
are forbidden to handle any material
which, because of this, will have to be
held in Seattle.”
This is much too much, the editor
of the Chronicle believes, and that the
same thing may not happen again in
New Bedford, Mr. McCurdy is starting
a correspondence course for their
especial benefit, in which he will at
tempt to tell them that boats run regu
larly from Seattle to Alaska, and that
there are days when two or three or
fve boats leave.
Well they’ve “saved” Russia and
Germany for “democracy” all right.
With Attorney General Palmer ar
resting “Reds” and Secretary of Lab
or Wilson turning ’em “loose” the ad
ministration has surely made arrange
ments to please everybody.
Admiral Doc Grayson has vetoed
"Woods Hole as a site of summer pres
idential summer rest and will hunt
a better ’ole. Perhaps Woods Hole
is too near salt water for a dry land
admiral.
The Michigan Democrats couldn’t
decide whether Palmer or McAdoo is
the administration candidate for Pres
ident so they ran one of them third
and the other fourth in their primary
there being no fifth place.
The war department was a little
short on aeroplanes and artillery, but
it bought thirty-two million pairs of
shoes. As there were only four mil
*'
lion soldiers, it was evidently in mind
to organize a centipede division.
The New York World started in to
support Herbert Hoover for President
on any old ticket, but now that the
gentleman has decided to be a Repub
lican the World’s covenant is seen to
contain a number of straight Demo
cratic reservations, of course.
Governor Cox, of Ohio, in a speech
at Marion, Ind., said that the profi
teers were trying to buy an “under
hold” on the country through the Re
publican party. Why should they buy
am underhold when Governor Cox’s
party has been so nice about giving
them a stronghold?
Put no man on guard at Washing
ton who does not stand unequivocally
against any scheme to subordinate the
interests, ideals and independence of
the United States in any plan of world
government promoted by either the
socialist or the financial inter-nation
alists, without certain safeguards for
American rights.
The Republican party stands for a
tariff system that makes the United
States the most favored nation in the
American home market, which is
worth a hundredfold more to the
American producer than any mirage
of world markets where this country
must compete with the cheaper pro
duction of the lower wage scale na
tions.
We wonder how some of those fel
I lows up in Alaska would have stood
l the rigorous winter weather we have
enjoyed this season. All we can make
of it is that the weather man shifted
our regular climate to Alaska this year.
Undoubtedly that robin which it is
alleged showed himself here the other
day merely rested for a few minutes
on his way to “north of 40.”—Pontiac
111., Leader.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
We suppose that if it had been one
of the Eastern conservationists that
had been tackled by the brown bear
that killed the young man on Chicha
gof island last week the bear would
have recognized his friend and not
molested him. The species of bear
that killed the young man is the one
that is protected in Alaska. The only
one who can shoot them is the sports
man who does it for the trophy. If
Alaskans would be allowed to make
their own game laws they would sep
arate the ones that should be con
served ami those that should be killed,
and the brown bear would be in the
latter class.—Douglas News.
After viewing the remains we be
lieve Herron and his ticket would have
run better if the Capital and other
papers in the territory had supported
McBride and Hazelet.—Valdez Miner.
And if gambling is at its height, an
other form of vice which can be elimi
nated is flaunted in the face of the
townspeople daily. That is the gen
tlemen who live from the earnings of
unfortunately situated women who re
ceive their money not in the most de
sirous manner, and far from the “easi
est way,” as it is sometimes called.
There are many of these male individ
j uals in town now, some of them hav
ing been run out of Juneau and other
cities to the north. They find Ketchi
kan “easy pickings,” and not only
stay themselves but bring others of
their ilk here. It is not difficult to
distinguish these persons, who answer
the lowest calling under the sun, nor
is it difficult to run them out, if the
city officials so determine to do.—
Ketchikan Chronicle.
