CORDOVA, ALASKA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 120, 1915.
Most of the leaders of tin' Bull Moose party who deserted
the Republicans two years ago, have tired of their little* flirta
tion and are returning to their old love.

Now that appropriations are to be rushed through be
fore congress adjourns there is another ray of hope thrown
out that the report of the Alaska Engineering Commission on
tin* government trunk line will soon be forthcoming.

Cordova is creditably represented at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition by an excellent mineral exhibit sent there by the
local chamber of commerce, and the wonderful photographic
display of scenes taken here and throughout the Copper River
Valley by Photographer E. A. Hogg, who is present in person
at the fair to look after his exhibit..
—-- -:o:
It is gratfying to note that the latest information from
Chisana is of a most encouraging nature and the future of the
camp looks brighter than it has for some tini^ past. Good pay
has been found on Wilson creek, which is considered by the
miners there as the most important find since Billy dames made
his strike. Some of tin* benches are also developing into pro
ducers and a prosperous season is anticipated.
-:o:
According to our telegraphic advices the Germans en
tered upon a defensive fight on Wednesday, on account of its
people being threatened with starvation. The Lokal An
zeiger says it is now a struggle for existence, and all consid
eration of others must be pushed aside and the fight waged
without regard for consequences. This is certainly an un
fortunate position for any country to be in, and that the condi
tions there arc* not so deplorable as depicted should be the wish
of all fair-minded people, regardles of their leanings in the
present European struggle.

San Francisco opened her great exposition today. We
hope it will prove an unqualified success. Her people have
worked batrehto prepare a welcome to all who may come, and
those who go there may keep in mind that they will be cor
dially welcomed by tin* people and have an opportunity of en
joying one of the finest fairs yet held. There is much of in
terest in the history of San Francisco and California, and in
that history themes can be found for the highest flights of the
orators, the poets artd the men of affairs. As a rule, the great
ocean breaks softly on the shore and its murmurs, to one with a
little imagination to help, are filled with the stories of the
strange shores from which they have come. Hearty good
wishes for the perfect success of the exposition.

Col. Roosevelt’s plan to stop wars by leagueing the world
together against any power that might make war, is but em
phasizing the original purpose of the Hague Tribunal, which
has utterly failed. To forbid alliances would help but would
not be a cure. To order a boycott against any nation that
might bring on a war would greatly help but it would not lx* a
cure.
Were a decree against all offensive and defensive alliances
to be accepted, then wen* two powers, say (treat Britain and
Germany to form a secret alliance and start out to conquer the
earth they would pretty nearly succeed.
That would be no more breaking of pledges than we have
all seen during the past six months. A general disarming of the
nations and the destruction of their warships and land defenses
would be effective but when could such an agreement be made?
1° boycott in trade nations who insisted on going to war would
help, but it would be hard to enforce a decree of that kind.
There is too much of the wild-beast in human hearts still, to in
sure a cessation of wars.

Addressing a gathering of the Methodist women in Olm
Pla, Washington, Ruth St. Denis, and her husband, who also is
a dancer, gave utterance to the daring philosophy that God
should be praised with the feet as well as the vocal chords.
They advocated dancing in the pulpit. Good old church grand
mothers are shuddering in their breakfast shawls at the very
thought of a hand nf r*fi lliv»li urnmnn lu.iitm _ 1 i , ■

and led, even in a governor’s mansion. But both were dressed
when they addressed, which helped some the bold nakedness
of their remarks, and the fearful should not assume that the
gathering was treated to a spectacle of tin* couple in their bill
board' costumes. We scarcely can hold our souls in patience
tor the sight of the first minister who shall fox-trot into his
pulpit, there to do the dance of Jonah and the whale or of the
translation of Elijah. A Sunday school superintendent doing
the “Texas Tommy” for the religious enlightment of the youth
might be an opener for this new form expounding theology as
advocated by Mrs. R. St. Denis and her husband.

A vast amount ot English and German capital has been
invested in Mexico. Those governments have left the claims
of their agents in Mexico to the management of our govern
ment, but they are growing impatient now,
That wretched country seems now to be given over to the
plundering of petty bandits who do not stop at seizing property
but add insults to men and women of foreign birth
this The g0Vermuents b<‘.voll(1 the sea will not long submit to
One of their old-fashioned ideas is that the citizenship of
their subjects must be respected all over tin* old world. It is
nut a fashion with them to advise their subjects to get out of
« angerous places, but if they are in danger to go and protect
1 . ' “ our administration is determined upon peace at any
price with Mexico, it should call upon Brazil, Argentina and
( liiIt* to once more interpose and patch up another truce with
those handies. Something must come soon or a protest that
cannot he misconstrued will come from Great Britain.
-:o:-——
Among those who forget that war is essentially unreason,
just as a rough-and-tumble fight between two men in the streets
is unreason, there will be severe criticism of Germany’s plan
to assail English shipping—war vessels, freighters ,*md even
large passenger liners—by the use of the mysterious sub
marine.
Yet the plan is recognized by warriors to be legitimate, and
Germany’s friends will justify it, whether the rules of war do
so or not, on the ground that Germany must retaliate against
the strict rules which England has laid down regarding ship
ments by neutrals. Germany’s position is that if England, b<
reason of her power upon the seas, can prevent Germany from
receiving from neutrals those things she needs, then must em
ploy her power beneath the seas to prevent England from get
ting the same things. It would be a dreadful thing for a pas
senger liner to be destroyed by a submarine, with loss of life—
yet that is modern warfare.
Germany’s use of her wonderful submarines is the heaviest
blow yet struck at her most hated adversary.
