SERVICE.
Readers of The News are urged
to note particularly the very com
plete report of the German revo
lution appearing in today’s issue of;
the paper. It is the Associated j
Press report of the affair—and The j
News is the only newspaper in In- J
terior Alaska receiving it.
The Associated Press service is a j
costiy service and the amount of
press news received over the wires j
evert' day by The Nenana News is
very much greater than that re-I
ceived by any other newspaper in
anv town in Alaska the size of Ne
nana—and several that are larger:
than Nenana.
This is not written in a spirit ;
of boastfulness. The Nenana News 1
has no competition and there is no
need to boast. Mention of the Ger- j
man revolution story and She Asso-;
elated Press service in general is ]
made merely to remind Nenanaites ■
that they have the benefit of a news j
service second to none in the Terri- '■
tory—that their home paper is do
ing the best it can to keep them,
posted on happenings abroad and at |
home.
J C M’BRIDE.
It is gratifying to know, com
ments the Cordova Daily Times, that
J. C. McBride, one of Juneau’s rep
resentative business men and an
oldtime Alaskan, has consented to
become a candidate for Republican
national committeeman. The Times
takes great pleasure in endorsing
Mr. McBride for this honorary of
fice, believing that he is eminently
qualified to intelligently and satis
factorily discharge the duties that
will devolve upon the successful as
pirant.
In a statement issued by Mr. Mc
Bride he declares that the only
faction he belongs to favors Alas
kans for territorial offices, and the
selections will be left to the parti
organizations of the different judi
cial divisions. He also wants the
control of the fisheries and other in
dustries vested in Alaska, and on
his announced platform he should
have the support of every good Re
publican at the primaries in April.
FROM KETCHIKAN.
The Chronicle is of the opinion,
writes Editor Morrissey, in his big
Ketchikan daily, that the Republi
can party will be victorious at the
polls in November and that it will
generally be to the best interests
of the country, after the trying peri
od of the past three years, and Re
publicans of Alaska, in their desire
for political preferment, should not
let their personal ambitions blind
them or dampen their party loyalty.
Neither do they want to start such
a bitter fight for nomination that
they will retain any ill-feeling after
the primaries which might hurt the
party cause in November.
On the other hand, the fight for
nominations in the Republican party
this spring is the best indication to
the people of Alaska that there is
no machine which is steam-rollering
through the picked few while the
rank and file have little or nothing'
to say. It is entirely up to the
whole party, and after the primaries
it will be the duty of the members
to get together. That should al- J
ways be borne in mind.

Some British newspapers have;
been stirred to indignation by re- j
ceipt from the United States of a j
report that prohibition organizations j
here were going to use £10.000,000 1
for prohibition propaganda through-)
out the world, but chiefly in Great, j
Britain. A few have expressed re- j
sentment at what they characterize j
as outside interference with “the1
right of the Englishman to drinK j
what he likes."
“A subscription to dry up the j
Atlantic would have as much chance j
of success,” says the Saturday Re- '
view. "But there arises the ques- i
tion why, when everybody is har
assed with post-war problems, we
should allow our peace to be dis- i
turbed by a band of Yankee fan-1
atics with never so many millions j
to scatter. It is a most unwarranta- J
ble intrusion on our domestic life!
at a time when we are in no mood •
to be trifled with.”
Referring to disorders that re-,
cently attended a prohibition cam- j
paign conducted in Wales by an
American, the paper adds: “We
really think the government might
ask the permission of the Washing
ton cabinet to repatriate these med
dlesome maniacs, and to forbid, at
all events for the next year or two.
their ianding on these shores.”
The Liverpool Post, commenting
on the proposed fund, says: “It ar
gues a poor appreciation of the
character of the British people and
of the conditions in this country
;that such a madcap scheme should
have been evolved. Such ‘pussyfoot’
tactics on the scale now- threatened
'open the door to international ill
i
feeling that might prove very mis
'ehievous in the present state of
'the world.
“America has chosen prohibition
for itself. It is not absolutely in
'conceivble that Great Britain may
some day follow the example. But
it will not be as a result of Ameri
;can methods, the more likely effect
i of which might be to discredit the
; prohibition idea, and even to retarij
■temperance progress on lines that
:are likely to appeal to the British
temperament.”
“We should be soo much obliged
‘if our good, kind friends in America
;would refarin from doing us good,"
isays The Globe in an editorial. “Un
! regenerate creatures that we are.
iwe do not like it, and we have a
Uort of idea that they might find
.enough to occupy them at home,
j The fox which has lost his tail is
generally quite willing to assist in
the decaudation of the rest. All
the same, we do not think the plan
will be successful.”

Captain Thomas Cliff of the
steamship Princess Ena, on his ar
rival at Ketchikan recently, re
ported that a section of the city
dock at Juneau had collapsed un
der about 200 tons of coal which
the Ena had unloaded. The Ena
had 800 tons of coal and a quantity
of merchandise for Juneau, the
greater portion of which had been
unloaded when the section of the
dock went down. It was estimated
that 200 tons of the coal went into
the bay.
