MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1920
Germany has the blues and is threat-!
ened with the reds.
Hoover and Edwards led the poll in
the Michigan Democratic primary,
which proves that the Democrats are
still strong for food and drink.
The Hearst party has adopted the
•ocked hat as its emblem. Ought to
have left that for Colonel Bryan, who
has been knocked into it so often.
Having elected Mr. Wilson Presi
dent in 1916 because he kept us out
of war, it might only be fair for the
Democrats to choose Colonel Bryan
in 1920 on the ground that he keeps
ms out of “suds.”
Puccini and Mascagni, the famous
composers, will be members of the |
next Italian senate. From which it
must be assumed that Italy is pre
paring to play a leading role in the
concert of nations.
Overtime work has been abolished
in the department of labor at Wash
ington. Some day there will be a
cabinet officer who will tackle the
more elaborate job of abolishing un
dertime work in the Washington de
partments.
■' How do Alaskans like the idea of
Seattleites pledging in advance, or at
any time for that matter, their two
votes in the Republican national con
vention to a particular presidential
candidate, without having any voice
in the matter.
In this representative republic, the
citizen who says he is not interested
in politics means that he is not in
terested in the welfare of his country,
for politics is the popular determina
tion of public questions in a govern
ment of public opinion.
Cordovans will give George C. Haze
let the loyal support he deserves at
tomorrow’s primary, and at the same
time show their contempt for the dirty
politics being played by a few of his
enemies in the hope of causing his
defeat as a delegate to the Republican
national convention.
The Seattle bunch of hotel lobby
chair warmers and former Alaska law
yers are attempting to dictate the pol
itics of the territory, and from all
indications they will be able to do so
if Herron has anything to say in the
matter. But Charlie is not likeley to
be seriously considered by the voters
at tomorrow’s primary.
A vote for Jack McBride means the J
placing of your stamp of approval
upon a man of sterling integrity and
business sagacity as the leader of the
Republican party in Alaska for the j
coming four years. He is pledged to
give all residents of the territory a |
square and deal and recommend for
office only bona fide Alaskans.
Millions of Chinese, as yet not up
lifted by the phrases of the new free
dom, are protesting against a parley
between Peking and Tokio on the
Shantung question. These benighted
heathen evidently have the supersti
tious idea that the thing to do with a
burglar in the house is not to sit down
and talk over with him the distribu
tion of one’s own valuables.
Five million dollars is asked for by
Lloyd George, Premier Asquith, Lord
Cecil and other British statesmen to
carry on a campaign of education in
behalf of the League of Nations, on
the ground that “if the league should
die, God help our children, for no hu
man agency can save them from ca
lamities to which those of the late
war will appear as the merest trifles.”
It does seem strangs that it is neces
sary to spend so much money to get
people to swallow something that is
so awfully good for them.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Why not go the limit and allow
Alaska to govern herself and give us
a home government without a com
mission and without “by your leave,
Mr. Congress.”—Seward Gateway.
Both of the great political parties
will do well to remember that the
spirit of ’76 still survives, and their
platforms will insure the greatest
amount of freedom, liberty and justice
to all.—Ketchikan Times.
The fellows are begiinning to throw
the old pill around already. The fine
weather of the last few days has
started the ball players to taking the
kinks out of the old soup-bone, and it
will be only a matter of a short time
until we may see some baseball.—
Douglas News.
This month’s issue of the Popular
Science magazine publishes quite an
article and the photograph of the
champion oxyacetylene welder of the
Pacific coast, who is no less a per
sonage than James A. Hendricks of
Juneau. Mr. Hendricks recently ar
rived in Ketchikan from Seattle, and
he is associated with his brother Jack
in the transfer business.—Ketchikan
Chronicle.
MEDITATION
Christian democracy applied to in
dustry means the development of co
operative relationship. Day of power
for the laboring classes has dawned,
but with its power comes danger. To
return evil for evil, exact more than
their due, use their strenegth for op
pression and outlaw the capitalist and
employer must eventually spell defeat.
Self-interest is too weak and short
sighted to help society. The unselfish
spirit found in the Golden Rule and
Sermon on the Mount must be prac
ticed by all, if a lasting new era is to
be realized. "Bear ye one another’s
burdens and so fulfill the law of
Christ.” Hear the sermons at the

You a Cigar We Can
Guess the Answer!
i
Think of the number of let
ters in the name of your favorite
tobacco or cigar.
Double this number.
Add eight.
Divide by two.
Subtract the number you
started with.
Multiply by three.
Add one.
Subtract six.
Come into the Horseshoe, and
if the man at the counter can
not tell you the correct answer
he will treat you to a cigar.
We are as certain of the su
perior quality of our cigars and
tobacco as we are of solving
this problem.
