IT’S A GREAT NATION
Never does the United States, includ
ing Alaska, look larger than in springtime,
when conflicting weather reports from sep
arated points make it seem like a continent.
Right now, for instance, Montana sends
news of general snowfall and Buffalo tells
of a freighter stuck in the lake ice a mile
outside the breakwater, while here in Sew
ard, the flowers are glorious, and the fra
grant odors of the greens on the mountain
side beckoning to animal life. It’s a great
nation, geographically speaking, and most
clearly so when spring sweeps across its
broad expanse.
AMUNDSEN IS HIGH LOW BROWED
Animosity which has been existing in
Nome by certain factions is surely show
ing its color in today’s dispatches. Not a
word is said as to Amundsen’s doings in the
Far Northern port, but Ellsworth, having
had his stack of hot cakes gets publicity ga
lore, and Nobile, emphasized as the “big
man” of the Norge expedition. We have
seen cold shoulders thrust upon a person I
but to have them emanate from such a free,
easy-going, liberal and hospitable people, as
Alaskans are cracked up to be,' is somewhat
more than one can digest. Give the devil his
dues is an axiom which should be practiced
by those in Nome who are responsible for
such dispatches as have recently come thru.
SOME DAY
A Cambridge, Ohio, inventor has made
an airplane with a wing spread of only 20
feet, and it is prophesied that eventually one
will be constructed which can go thru a win
dow screen.
OF COURSE.
A Michigan farm of 120 acres has been
sold for $3,500 an acre, says the telegraph.
If the purchaser fails to make the place pay
dividends on the investment he will, of
course, expect the government to do some
thing about it.
YES, WHERE?
Proposing the health of the President,
a visitor in Berlin recently declared, “Of
Hindenburg it will one day be said, as of
Washington: First in war, first in peace,
first in the hearts of his countrymen.’’ But
where does he get, “first in war?”
NEW YORK POLITICS
Charles E. Hughes has refused to con
sider running for the governorship again.
State leaders of his party were hoping that
he would run in order to avert a factional
light over the liquor issue. Mr. Hughes’ re
fusal to see his party thru an emergency of
fers a contrast to the conduct of A1 Smith,
the present governor. Much of Mr. Smith’s
popularity must lie in his sense of duty to his
party. He has never failed it.
GOVERNOR SMITH IN THE SOUTH
Gov. Smith has been chosen to be the
orator at Monticello on July 4. Jeffersoni
anism could have no more fitting champion.
Most of the Democrats in Congress have
bowed the knee metaphorically to the Baal
of Hamiltonism.
