CORDOVA, ALASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 1916.
CAUSE FOR CONGRATULATION.
Cordova and her people are to lie congratulated on the
fortunate events that have led up to there being but one ticket
in the field for the coming municipal election. The city has
been well administered for the past twelve months, the town
officers have done their duty, and in the main, even the most
carping critics must admit that they can find little to criticize
in the actions of the present council. They have conducted
their proceedings in an orderly manner, meeting as gentlemen
should, without rancor and discord. All who have appeared
before them have been courteously treated without exception.
Also the people of the town should Vie well pleased that
there will not he a repetition of the bitterness expressed at the
last election. Happily this has all been done away with, and
the people of Cordova are meeting upon an equal plane once
more, all working harmoniously for the greater good of the
community, selfish desires and old sores being forgotten and
relegated to the rear.
The town is enjoying a quiet and well deserved' prosperity,
which, because of the increasing importance of the fish indus
try, promises to be permanent. This prosperity was but re
cently reflected when the railroad company granted its em
ployees a ten per cent increase in wages, unsolicited and unex
pected. Cordova is calm and seriously confident in the sure
ness of its own future growth, no little portion of which will bo
due to the character of the who live here, as evidenced by the
fact that they have buried their differences and united on one
ticket for the coming election, reflecting credit, not only on
their own good sense and loyalty to the town, but also on the
personnel of the men who have unselfishly agreed to devote
their time and efforts to the administration of the town affairs
for the coming year. This happy condition of affairs we
earnestly wish will fall to the lot of all our sister communities,
in order that they, too, may advance surely and steadily in
growth and prosperity, and not be hindered' by internal fac
tional discord.

END NOT IN SIGHT.
Tlu* happy prospect <>l' adjournment of Congress before the
national political conventions in June has gone glimmering.
The leaders seem to have a faint hope that it may quit before
snow flies, which at least serves as a cooling thought to tin
law givers, who must toil and moil away the blistering days of
midsummer. Senator Kern puts it this way:
“There is just as much likelihood of a Kansas grasshopper
jumping over the moon as there is of this session of Congress
being brought to a conclusion before the national conventions.
No; we are in for a long session, running far into the fall.
“Can’t you see we haven’t done anything in the Senate yet?
It is now well along in March, and the Senate has not acted on
any of the large and important measures that must be disposed
of. For twenty-six days the Senate has been debating the
question of where a water power plant shall be located in the
city of Washington. Can you beat it?
“The whole trouble,” continued the Senate leader, “is that
we have no way of bringing a matter to a vote in the Senate.
Twenty-six days of debate on a subject of local interest to one
city ought, it seems to me, to impress the country that those of
us who have been contending for a closure in the Senate are in
the right.”
A LIVELY POLITICIAN.
There is a good deal of the ostrich in Teddy. The ostrich
lays her eggs in the sand and depends principally upon the hot
sun to hatch them. She, in the meantime, spending most of her
days enjoying herself. Teddy has a way of laying his political
eggs and then taking a spin on the outside while they are in
cubating.
Just now he is off in the West Indies having a good timei
with Mrs. Roosevelt, leaving Mr. George W. Perkins and'a few
other faithful nurses to watch the nest. But he has set the day
when he will return, and the faithful will be on hand in force
to receive him.
After that it will soon be developed what the program is
to be. We predict that he will, in due time, be persuaded to
sacrifice himself again if the people persist in demanding it.;
and that he has fixed it so they will persist.
■-:o:
THE SPLENDOR OF FULL LIBERTY.
The French republic was born in the throes of the agony
of French defeat and humiliation in the Franco-] Vussian war.
But France today is a fine example to those croakers who de
light to say that republics are all right in time and place, but
cannot meet the stress of a great war. Look at her record
since the present war began. Without disparaging any other
power, is it not fair to say that she has met the brunt of this
war with as much courage and ability as any other power, and
with a finer spirit than any other.
Who knows but there may be more republics in Europe
when the last thunders of the war shall grow still?
