WHAT IS THE LAW?
Possibly the Times might be con
sidered presumptuous in questioning .
a statement from Mr. Ritchie as ta
' what is the law in the matter of the
right of members of the signal corps
to vote, remarks the Cordova Times,
in a recent discussion of the Alaska
delegate contest. But certainly we
shall not allow a statement which
is at variance with the facts to go
unchallenged, whether or not this:
be considered "side-stepping.” Mr. j
Ritchie says that the courts and !
Congress have "universally decided
that a soldier—officer or private— !
can vote only where he enlisted." ,
In the brief in the contest case
of Wickersham vs. Sulzer. two .
years ago. by counsel for Mr. Sul
zer not only was it shown that the ;
courts had not "universally” so de-:
cided. but that there were numer
ous instances in which the courts j
had held just the contrary. So !
that it would seem to the layman
that instead of the law being as
plain as Mr. Ritchie would have us'
believe, it is largely a matter of in
terpretation. * * *
The Wickersham-Grigsby contest
will not be decided by the news- j
papers. It will be presented in due ]
form to the House. And there is j
no reason to doubt that Mr. Grigsby j
will continue to insist, as he has
I
heretofore, that the law does not
and should not prohibit qualified ’
voters from exercising the fran- ,
chise merely because they wear the ,
uniform of their country, and this
despite the authorities which Mr.
Ritchie cites, and which he says
"ought to be sufficient.”
We contend that there is no an
alogy whatever between the South
ern case cited, in which soldier.
were in occupancy of territory late
ly in rebellion, and that of the sig
nal corps of Alaska, which is as
much a part of the civil life of the
Territory as any other activity,
even though it be under the direc
tion of the war department.
"THE BIGGEST MAN.
The departure of Herbert Hoover
will be read by half of Europe with
deep regret. He is much the big
best man who has emerged on the
Allied side during the war. He en
tered the scene as the savior of the
Belgian population, and leaves it
with the credit of defeating the
plot for the restoration of the Haps
burgs.—London Nation.
And these are only part of the
things accomplished by this wonder
ful American, says the Juneau Em
pire. He marshalled the food of
America so that this country not
only spared four million people
from the work of producing, to
serve under arms in the war for
democracy, but fed them and the
rest of the world throughout the
war. Then he took charge of the
work of preventing devastated Eu
rope from starving, and, like with
everything else he has undertaken,
he succeeded to such an extent that
his name is a household word among
the polyglot peoples of Centra! Eu
rope.
The New York world, comment
ing upon the Nation’s estimate of
Hoover, says:
"It is a place unique in history j
that Mr. Hoover has won. He has
made that place for himself, with
out reward either of goods or
titles, by simply adapting: common
,
sense principles to new and huge '
problems: by swiftly seeing the
things that needed to be done and ,
saying. ‘Come. Let’s do it!’
"This is an American way of
looking at things and doing things;
so we like to think of Mr. Hoover
as a typical American. But effi
ciency on such a gigantic scale is '
not really typical. Whether or not
he is the biggest man of the war, ]
as the Nation rates him. Mr. Hoov- 1
er's self-carved career is surely an ]
extraordinary one.’’

SEATTLE HOTELS.
Xo less than a dozen prominent
men have whispered to the writer
within a month that the Japanese :
own every hotel in Seattlef says a j
member of the Seattle Railway and
Marine News editorial staff. That i
;upposedly startling announcement ;
has been followed by a general dis- i
cussion of the question and much
unwarranted gossip and speculation.
Who is responsible for the propa
ganda and the reailv villainous gos
s:p. it is impossible to say, but j
dealing "with this statement exclu
sively, it is a falsehood pure and
simple, for Marmaduke and his ■
friends still run the Washington,
the Collins estate has the Seattle,
the Frye family the Frye. Sweeney
has the Savoy and the Butler. The
Rainier-Grand, the Washington An
nex and the Washington Apartments
are still handled by well-known Se
attle people, and a syndicate is to
put up a new hotel. There are doz
ens of others, so why this unre
served and sweeping falsehood
should be so thoroughly passed ,
around is a mystery. It really
wouldn't matter if it were true, but
as it is wholly false, there must be
some ulterior motive behind the
propaganda.
