RECOGNITION
In the Washington dispatch relating to the forti
fication of dirigible bases on the Pacific Coast because
of the danger of some foreign fleet coming in by the
way of the archipelago of Alaskan Islands there is evi
dence that Alaska, from a military standpoint, is at last
beginning to be recognized by authorities of the nation.
In the words of Representative Miller of Wash
ington, the Southeastern Alaska archipelago of islands
is "the only place between Point Barrow and Cape Horn
where an enemy can be concealed and still lie in a ke\
uosRion. . „ ,
This archipelago and Alaska, then is a key to the
future security of the Pacific Coast and the United
When Alaska gets into the sphere of the nation s
military scope maybe it wil receive the attention it real
ly should have; to have more aid in developing her re
sources. and to have her economic growth fostered to
such an extent that she may soon be admitted as one
of the United States.
THE ANVIL CHORUS
After all we are a funny race of malcontents. Mo
think we think very deeply when we elect the \c\\
greatest man among us to be our President and tempoi
ary director of affairs. As soon as he takes nio ^t.it
in'the White House w7e start shooting at him, ami we
are all sharp shooters safely under cover. We shoot
from every angle and our target is in an exposed posi
tion.
That’s all wrong as anyone will admit on proper
thought. Presidents are not immune from criticism, but
they are the best brains we could find to direct the
boat. The boat isn’t sinking but sailing into blue skies.
If there’s any leak anywhere we better search our poc
kets. Maybe we forgot to drop our auger overboard.
