PINCHOT FIRES A DUD
Replying to Governor Pinchot s it
eent criticism ol the administration
for its alleged failure to enforce the
prohibition laws of the Lnited States
Secretary Mellon of the treasury de
partment, flattened the Ke> stone ex
ecutive by emphasizing what others
had intimated—that it is nut right lor
one who lives in a glass mansion io
hurl brickbats.
One of the questions of Mr. Pinchot
was whether Mr. Mellon would author
ize state enforcement officers in the
Keystone state to inspect distilleries
and breweries, and in reply the treas
ury head consented, saying however,
that before the criticism was launch
ed he no.i nlreadv directed such sur
vey and adding that he desired co-op
eration between the federal and state
prohibition departments. Further he
begged to call the attention of the
governor to the authority for inquiry
which he already has under the state
laws of Pennsylvania. “Your atten
tion,“ he continued, “is respectfully
called to section S ol the Pennsylva
nia act of 1923,” a law passed at the
request of Mr. Pinchot.
Secretary Mellon called attention to
the fact that any governor had the
power to abate nuisances and prevent
their continuance, and intimated that
Mr. Pinchot’s apparent earnest desire
to see the prohibition law enforced
and the 1300 open saloons in Phila
delphia abolished was only to make
political capital out of the affair. The
Pinchot bomb thereupon became a
dud.
THE KAISER AND THE WAR
IT Kaiser Wilhelm is allowed by the
allies to again occupy the German
throne, the lives lost in the war will
have been in vain, as another vast
German fighting machine will be
quickly built up by his energy and
resourcefulness. The retirement of
the Kaiser to Holland, at the end of
the war, was a nine days’ wonder to
the patriotic civilian who is not post
ed in the machinations of diplomacy, j
It was supposed that he would be
tried before a court of the winning na
tions. and at least be banished to some
remote isle, as in the case of Napo
leon, and other fallen monarchs.
But a few of the ——-<- t heads on
the winning side hated to establish a
precedent. They might be the loser
the next time, and the thought sent a
chill down their royal backs. There-j
fore, the Kaiser was allowed to retire
unmolested to Holland, to plot and
scheme for his restoration to the
throne.
But, in the meantime, Germany has
by systematic wailings and pleas of
poverty so successfully swindled the
nations into believing she is on the
verge of a famine that certain sympa
thetic congressmen, whose sympathy
does not extend to the wounded and
disabled veteran, are planning to ap
propriate a vast sum for “the relief of;
Germany.”
In the meantime Germany has her
thumb to her nose, and we like it.
It develops that each civilian em-;
ployed by the government during the
war was paid a bonus of $240 by the
same government that claims it is im
possible to raise money to give the
returned veterans a like bonus. And
when one remembers there were two
civilians employed to every fighting
man the riddle becomes harder of so
lution.
The Veterans* Bureau scandal is an
example of combining politics and
unlimited money. Graft is certain to
ensue.
Seward has some things breaking
for her in the near future. It is to be
hoped we will be big enough to meet
it. A rapid rise in rents and staples
will kill the boom before it gets well
started.
A neighboring exchange accuses our
citizens of quarreling “all the time."
Doesn’t the editor think we ever
sleep.
In case the kaiser resumes his
throne it might be a good time for
the Allies to . see that he serves that
unexpired sentence—he was going to
get in 1917.
DISPOSITION OF ALIENS WILL
BE SETTLED BY WASHINGTON
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—The disposi-j
lion of aliens, now awaiting entrance
to the United States at Ellis island,
will be settled by Washington. The
exhaustion of Britain’s quota was at
tributed to an unusual rush of British
immigrants across the Canadian bor
der before the quotas expired.
Jobs for the workingman will fill
up a town quicker than any other one
thing.
Seward needs a dozen or more four
and five room cottages for rent at a
reasonable figure. The housing situ
ation is getting acute. Many persons
arriving here with families are forced
to board until some one moves out
of a house and lets them in.
The electrical storm last night was
a rare occurrence for Alaska. It is
very seldom that we ever see lightning
in diis country.
With the completion of the road to
Kenai lake it might be well for Sew
ard citizens to work for roads to the
numerous mining properties adjacent
thereto. Unless our mines are devel
oped there is no chance for the devel
opment of the country.
-—
I The Nome Chamber of Commerce is
working to have the coast guard ser
vice given a destroyer to be used in
connection with the life boat at that
city. This is one thing that should be
done. The Nome coast has more
bad weather than any other part of
Alaska, and has more wrecks. A sub
stantial life-saving craft, ready to go
at all times, would be a great help to
. shipwrecked mariners.
PRES! DENT COCLIDGE SLOW
IN ANSWERING RELIEF HINTS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—President
Coolidge is convinced taht the people
of Germany need foodstuffs, but he
regards the stiuation as different from
the Japanese relief work, which was
an emergency. He said any relief giv
en Germany fnust come thru congress
at the next session.
EXPORTS ARE DECREASING
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Exports
from the United States during Octo
ber amounted to $402,000,000, compar
ed to imports of $304,000,000.
CONTINENT PEOPLE BY
PRIMITIVE MEN FROM ASIA
SANTA BARBARA, 'Nov. 14.—J. P.
Harrington, head of the Smithsonian
institute party of excavators stated
that the bones and relics unearthed
near here confirmed the theory that
the American continent was originally
inhabited by migrations of primitive
men from Asia.
HOLLARD FEARS ALLIED WRATH
DOORNE, Holland, Nov. 14.—The
Dutch Government is understood to be
anxious to consult wit htlie Allies be
fore allowing the ex-kaiser to quit
Holland.
HORSES AGAIN RACING ON
