Alaska sentinel., 1907-08-01

Such casualties as that which sent to the bottom of the Pacific ocean the steamship Columbia with nigh onto eighty souls, is most dis tressing-indeed heartrending. Too late to save the lives df those who were drowned like rats, the people throw up their hands in horror and shout that the responsibility for such accidents should be fixed. But as long as people go to sea in ships; so long as fogs hang like clouds on the waters, accidents will happen and people will find watery graves. In this instance the cap tain of the Columbia is blamed. But he is past investigation, as with "God bless you!" he sank with his ship.

 It is reported that George Trying has resigned as deputy prosecuting attorney in this division. It is said MT. Irving desired to enter &C., tive politics and do little cam paigning in the interest of Mir. Fairbanks, which he could not do and hold his job.

thing, and, instead of 2 straight sense of duty coming home to any body in particular, personal moral responsibility for action is drowned in e deluge of words,
 It is because human nature is made up along such contrary lines and because we are so obstinately indifferent to these public interests and public obligations, that the task of getting periodic spurts of awakened public interest, beyond the talk stage, becomes strenuous one.
 It is true of the public needs of a community that what is every body's business is robody's busi- ness and equally true that with the whole town interested in the bene- fits to be derived, nobody will un- dertake to secure them unless it is made his special duty and he is paid for it and everybody knows it is his special duty.
 Observation of more or less the same experience in far too many other places teaches that there will be found a strong popular tenden- cy to mistake talk for action and to loudly proclaim how much is being done for Wrangell when, in fact, ostensible promoters are only talking about what ought to, be done for Wrangefl.

During the past week Wrangell has been visited by three gentlemen who are genuine friends of Alaska and neither of whom is afraid to speak his mind in any and all pla- ces and under all circumstances. No man has a wider knowledge of Alaska and the conditions that ex- ist in the district than Gen. A. w. Greeley, and his pronounced idea is that the present form of govern ment is all wrong and gross in- justice to the people. All Alaskans should know where Congressman Vim. Sulzer stands. Although a large property holder in this dis trict, for the past five years he has stood for the masses in their strug- gle for liberty and equality, and he says tha. he will keep up the fight until the rightful demands of the people are recognized. Of course Alaska's Delegate, Hon. Thos. Gale, is true blue on the proposition of of self government. It was because of his views on this subject that he received almost the unanimous en- dorsement of the people in the election one year ago. Mr. Gale will use his best endeavors to se- cure some relief for his constituent cy at the coming session of con- gress, and believes he will be sue cessful, despite the known opposi- tion. We are all proud to have the friendship of the three gentle men named.

THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper, like an individual, that has mission in life, that is consistent and persistent in its ad- vocacy of its policies and princi- ples, that is respectful and self-re- specting, will command the conf- dence and support of the general public regardless of whether it al- ways represents the- views of all or not. A newspaper that is trust worthy, is honest, is bold and fear less and unwavering and yet con- servative and ccnsiderate of others, always secures respect for its opin- ions and confidence in it's honesty of purpose. It receives and is en- titled to the support of the masses.
 A newspaper controlled by per- sonal whims and prejudices, hay ing no fixed principle, may succeed for time, but when storms of stress come and it is put to the cru cial test, the people find out, and once found out its influence for good is gone. IL is best, therefore, for a newspaper to be honest with itself. honest with the public at all times. If its constituency cannot agree with it, they will respect frankness and come to know it even better than it knows itself. Roose- welt and Bryan are types of public men and the public has come to know and to understand. If all men do not agree with them they never stop to question their hon. esty.
 A newspaper that strives to em- ulate the example of these two men in taking the public into their confidence will at least have its honesty above suspicion, whatever the error of judgment, which the public is always willing to forgive, but never a want of honesty.
 Such has the Sentinel striven to be. From the time of its estab- lishment, five years ago, it has worked unceasingly and honestly for the upbuilding of Wrangell and the advancement of every interest of the town and section, the same as it will continue to do so long as it remains under it's present man. agement. That it may have made a few mistakes, it does not deny, for "to err is human" Of course it has gained some enemies; no honest, outspoken man ever lived or straightforward newspaper was ever conducted that was not a thorn in the side of some indiyid- uals. But this Sentinel cannot help. It will continue in the same course mapped out by it at the start, endeavoring to be q NEwsPA- PER instead of an organ" and will not be swerved from it's path of duty by every breeze that blows or by the gentle, cooing words of any would-be dictator. If a paper cannot live pursuing these lines, it had best die-and die early.

TRANSATLANTIC WIRELESS.
Marconi Says Bad Weather Will Not
Affect the Service.

Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.-Declar
ing that he intended to stay in Glaze
Bay until wireless communications
with Europe had been placed on a
commercial basis, Guglielmo Marconi
said Monday TO the press:
1--WE have finally overcome all OBJ
stacles, and in about three weeks we
will commence a commercial trans-At.
lGntic wireless service"
He stated that bad weather would
not affect the service, provided the
masts and poles used in the wireless
system remained unchanged; that the
average speed used in sending mes
sages would be twenty words min
ute and that the rate would be 10c a
word for ordinary commercial mes
sages and sc a word for press dis
patches. This rate, he said, would be
cut in two later.

Finances for Uprising Planned Report

American City.

Havana-Col Juan MaSso PARA and
Gen. Juan Ducassi and Luis Lara
Miret were arrested Thursday morn
ing, charged with conspiracy to dis
turb the public peace. Governor Ma
COON learned Wednesday night that
the officers were planning personally
to lead an uprising, and issued orders
for their immediate detention.
1t is said that the revolt fOmented
by the three men originated in New
York City and has been financed from
there. 1t is declared also that PARA,
Ducassi and Miret told the negroes
they were urging to enlist that the
success of the revolution was guaran'
teed b. Japan.
Before making the arrests Governor
Magoon held a conference with Gen
eral Barry, Colonel Pitcher Major
Faltz and Captain Ryan, his aids, and
communicated with President Roose-
welt in a long cipher message. The
governor believes the uprising has
been nipped in the bud.
For some time PARA and the other
two officers have been staggering in
the city, boasting that they could cas-
lily defeat the whole American army

back. PARA went so far two months
ago as to invite Senator Norma Hell
gado to join him in a conspiracy
against the Americans. Helgado then
denounced him in letter published
by La Lucha. At the time PARA de-
MED the charge in another letter, but
continued to talk.
There has never been a conspiracy
more publicly carried out, as all the
local newspapers were speaking about
it every day. La Discussion few
days ago openly announced the upris-
ing was going to take place in Pinar
del Rio province. La Lucha repeated
the charges against PARA, who wrote
another letter denying them.

The way to uniOnize is to unioniZe.
This means that you are to unite with
those in the same line of business for
the mutual betterment of all in that
line. 1t also means that you ought to

sorts of entangling alliances with
those who may want to use you as a
