THE HORN, THE LUSTY, LUSTY
HORN
Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away and the result of the
recent primary election is definitely
known, every horn-blower in Alaska
has cause to expand his lungs with
pride. It was a glorious victory. The
defamers of character have been given
a jolt. The cohorts of true Repub
licanism have given the razz to mud
slinging politicians and also the near
Alaskans who attemepted to control
the affairs of this territory from their
Seattle offices. By-and-large, the out
come gladdens the great, responsive
heart of the masses who live in this
Northland and feel that in the elec
tion of J. C. McBride as Republican
national committeeman and George C.
Hazelet as delegate to the Republican
national convention at Chicago they
have made a wise choice in the selec
tion of their party leaders.
What matters it thaj; a few disap
pointed, selfish political postulants for
place are irked and* their dream of
financial gain at the expense of the
people has been shattered? Is it not
enough to know that the voters—and
this means the members of both sexes
—have risen and spoken and placed
the skids beneath a slippery bunch
and relegated them to political obliv
ion? Is it not glorious to contemplate
the retirement to private life of such
storm-centers and trouble-makers as
Wickersham, Valentine and Herron?
The primary election is over. Every
thing is all right. The overwhelming
•victory of men tried and true is a great
triumph for those who are permanent
residents of the territory and are in
terested in its future prosperity.
Alaska is bound to receive proper rec
ognition at Washington from a Re
publican administration, with such
men as Messrs. McBrdie and Hazelet
to present our needs. Tradition tells
us that the hammer is a builder’s tool.
But tradition don’t go here. What we
want is action. And the way to get
action is to “throw away your hammer
and get a horn.” Let us all boost
Alaska while the boosting is good.
Let us all get in the band wagon while j
the getting is good. Let us all quit
the anvil chorus and join in the beau
tiful thing so feelingly played on the j
Victrola, “The Horn, the Horn, the
Lusty, Lusty Horn.”
WATCH YOUR STEP
It’s all in the amount of publicity
a thing receives. Take getting killed,
for instance. The nation was quite
shocked to learn that the enemy in
the war had killed 50,151 American
soldiers. But no one paid any at
tention to the killing of two and a
half times that number of civilians
killed in the United States itself dur
ing the same period, through largely
preventable accidents. Isaiah Holt,
safety superintendent of the Santa
Fe system, is acting as press agent
for the unfortunate and unsung Amer
icans who were butchered in their
own country without benefit to the
nation or anyone else except the
tombstone makers. He gives the
total number of accident fatalities as
126,654, or an average of 220 every
day, Sunday included. These acci
dents occurred in industrial estab
lishments, on the street and in the
home. Of the three, the domestic
fireside is by far the most danger
ous. More steel mqkers get killed
at home by falling off chairs or chok
ing on lobster salad than ever pass
on by reason of molten metal or fall
ing ingots.
Th entertainment to be given at the
Empress theatre tomorrow afternoon
by the school children is for a lauda
ble purpose and should be^ liberally
patronized by the public.
WHAT AN OMELET!
There are possibilities of destruc
tion in railway accidents now of
which the average citizen little
dreams. It is alright to think of a
Pullman going into the ditch, because
most of its occupants are probably
so hard-boiled that they will not suf
fer. But when one realizes that whole
trainloads of beautiful, innocent fresh
eggs are now being whirled across
the continent the possibilities of ac
cident are simply appalling. Solid
trainloads of eggs are now being rush
ed through from California to New
York City. There were more than
three million eggs on one train that
made the trip recently. With eggs
what they are nowadays in the mar
ket, the risk is too awful for contem
plation.
ECHOES OF THE PRIMARY
ELECTION
But No Herron in the Catch
They must have used a fish trap at
Cordova and Fairbanks by the few
that they missed.—Alaska Capital.
-♦-—
No Such Catastrophe
Should Valentine go to that conven
tion, what an awful bitter pill Alaskan
machine politicians will have to swal
low.—Juneau Capital.
The King Is Dead—So Is the Times
The Times supported Mr. Herron’s
candidacy and we are proud of the
fact, for Mr. Herron represents the
finest type of our Alaskan citizenry,
and should he again become a candi
date for public office we hope to be
in a position to actively aid him in at
taining his desire.—Ketchikan Times.
Their Master’s Voice
Judge Wickersham dipped into the
late Republican primary just enough
to show that he is still out of harmony
with the majority of the people of this
territory. He wrote to friends telling
them that Herron and Valentine should
be elected Republican national com
mitteeman and delegate to the Repub
lican national convention. Neither.of
them was.—Juneau Empire.
Surprised Seattle Bunch
For delegate to the Republican na
tional convention, George Hazelet of
Cordova and Judge T. M. Reed of
Nome have been successful. The
heavy vote polled by George Hazelet,
who was bitterly opposed by the. Wick,
ersham forces, is one of the primary
surprises. His vote also indicates
that the Riggs transportation scheme
would not get by a referendum vote
in Alaska.—Alaska Dispatch.
Selection a Good One
The selection of John C. McBride
as Republican national committeeman
assures the territory that recommenda
tions under a change of administra
tion will be made with a view of secur
ing cofnpetent men to handle the af
fairs of the North. Mr. McBride is
to be congratulated upon his remark
ably clean campaign. His victory was
a personal one, and attests his stand
ing in the North.—Alaska Dispatch.
Anchorage Learns Lesson
It is sincerely hoped that the voters
of Anchorage have learned a lesson
irom the recent vote of Cordova, which
is merely the repetition of past elec
tions in the support of home candi
dates. In their selfishness Cordovans
forget everything and everybody ex
cept self. Juneau is another fair ex
ample of greed, and Anchorage should
take the lesson to heart. Take care
of the home folks and home interests.
—Anchorage Times.
Wick’s Opposition Was Nil
Because George C. Hazelet, delegate
to the Republican national convention
at Chicago, refused to indorse a line
of steamers from Seattle to Seward to
furnish exclusive tonnage for the gov
ernment railroad, James Wickersham,
the irrepressible, issued a letter to
the public asking "that he be defeated
and that Valentine, Reed and Herron
be supported. We believe that Mr.
Hazelet expresses the sentiment of the
people of Alaska when he disappfoved
of the shipping board plan. Such ac
tion would do more to kill the balance
of the territory by driving off the
steamers now in service than any
other one thing. These vessels must
depend upon the trade from the rail
way to give efficient and continuous
service, and if this is taken away from
them it will mean that the number of
vessels now plying to Alaska will be
materially reduced. Mr. Wickersham
is not in touch with the people of
Alaska nor has he been for several
years back.—Valdez Miner.
We are on the eve of the opening
of the salmon season and the public
is gratified to learn that the differ
ence between the fishermen and can
nerymen has been adjusted and every
effort is to be made to put up a big
pack of fish.
