PULL TOGETHER FOR CORDOVA

Now is the time for all citizens to
get together and wurh for success.
With railroad from Haines to the
Rainy Hallow and Canadian country;
with one from Cordova to the Beirng
River and to Fairbanks and another
from Seward to the Iditarod, the
whole interior will boom as if touch
ed by the wand of magician. Dele
gate Wickersham is in line for pro-
gress and prosperity and the only
ones still on the outside are the new
Seattle Sun, the Seattle Commercial
club and the Valdez sheets. Down
in Juneau both papers are working
in harmony for Southeastern Alaska
first and all the territory in general
way while Fairbanks is also showing
the true get together spirit.
For the information Of the editori
al writer of the Seattle Sun, who re-
Gently penned an article entitled,
Alaska Railway Development, we
would like to point that his ignorance
of conditions in this territory are
amazing for one who lives in a city
built up and fostered by Alaska
trade. For some time thor" have
been railroads in operation in Alas
ka, the Copper RAiver & Northwest
err 1916 miles, the White Pass Route
(partly in Canada) 112 miles, the
Alaskan Northern 70 miles, the Tana-
"a Valley As miles with the railroads
lat Yakutat and Nome. To ignore
all these lines and then to revive the
old idea of tunnelling or crossing
Boring Straits to connect with ST
BIZ rian road seems to be an unusual
EFFORT to directly misrepresent.

SAD NEWS FOR sPOILsMEN

Addressing the representatives of
New Jarsey labor organizations who
had gone to Trenton to urge a candi
date to displace a Republican office
holder, Governor Wilson said: eff
men are to know that a mere change
in administration is to empty an office,
no matter how they have deserved to
be reappointed, there is not anything
of justice or public right left" Pub
lie Office, he added, is not worth any
thing if an entirely satisfactory full
filment of the duties of an Office does
not entitle man to consideration for
reappointment. He then announced
that he felt himself bound to consider
a man who had made good as this
Republican officeholder had and that
he would be ashamed of himself if he
did not.
This will be disquieting news to the
lHHuleTdDle company Ol UNDERGRADUATES
who are hungrily awaiting the advent
of the new administration at Wash
ington to profit by turning the ras-
Gals out" Mr. Wilson cannot have
one course of action as Governor at
Trenton and another at Washington
as President of the United States
when the principle is the same. His
Trenton speech is, moreover, in line
with his reputed views on public Off
ce. He has been accepted as friend
of civil service reform and it's extern
sion. If he follows his Trenton poll
cy there will be no headsman in the
next administration recalling the de-
capitations in a previous Dem ocratic
period. This will be heartrending to
tie spoilsmen, but not displeasing to
the great mass of the Nation which
is not seeking office, but is DESTROYS
of efficient public service.

JEALOUSY INJURIES TOWNS

In Valdez and Seward, the daily
newspapers are having a great laugh
over the disasters that meet their
local ships. This is done in an effort
to show the superiority of the re-
spective ports. When the railroad
has snowslide the laughter be-
comes general and even in the face
of death and disaster, the misguided
editors keep up the jealous snarling
back and forth 1t is no time for
merriment and such continued action
but reflects on the towns. Each has
a harbor capable of handling the
navy of the entire country but Meth
er will ever be called upon to do so.
Why not eliminate this childish fight?

ALASKA POETRY

The poetic Moose" as Mr.. Dooley
would call it, has decended on more
people in Alaska than in any other
portion of the civilized world in pro-
portion to population. Not tent nor
a cabin in all this wide territory of
ours but contains at some time or an
other some individual who is, or
thinks he is, chuck full of divine
afflatus. This supernal impulse man.
ifests itself in such extraordinary
metrical forms that one is forced to
the conclusion that the Muse only
paid what might be called domicili-
airy visit while suffering from acute
alcoholic poisoning or rheumatic
fever. Pegasus-this word is always
useful as showing profound knowl-
edge of classical mythology-Pegasus
begins in Alaska by jumping at the
sun and ends up by pulling heavy
sled
People should never forget that
poetry is one of the most sublime of
all arts, and an art of such subtle
refinement that not one man in hun
dreds can even recognize the true
brand when he sees it. 1t is like
many other subjects which are en-
tered into most often by people who
are least qualified, for the less one
knows about anything artistic the less
difficulty does he recognize in its at
tainment. The famous old Latin
phrase, Poeta nacitur non fit, which
means that poet is born not made,
has been used for many years by pun
ming school boys to illustrate the be-
lief that poet who is not fit is nasty,
and the school boys might have met
hod to their puerility.
Alaska newspapers offices may be
called the inferno of pseudo poetry
for it is usually damned when it ar
rives. If it ever again sees the light
it is only as a demoniacal apparition
to plague the souls of the public. Its
refusal, however, shold not be re-
garded as proof that it is only worthy
of condemnation for the unfortunate
Alaskan newspaper critic might know
infinitely less about it than the orig
inal perpetrator. All the greater wis.,
dom does he show not to take chances
in publishing something which might
cause untold agony. Since 1t was
told that Robert Burns was only a

DISTORTING THE TRUTH

The Sun, the new evening daily in
Seattle, announced that it was not
backed by any railroad money but it
has ben caught in the first week of
its life in taking the Geographic news
and working off press dope furnished
by Ballaine, the lobbyist in Washing
ton for the Alaska Northern. Even
in the face of the commissions re-
port and the Presidents recommend
atoms, the Seattle Sun twisted the
news to suit the stuff peddled by
Ballaine. 1t is new paper but it
can never expect to gain lasting
friends by deliberately taking the
news, using the grapevine and work
ing at variance with news facts. I'm
der the report, both Cordova and Sc
ward, both the Copper River Route
and the Alaska Northern, as well as
the project from Haines are treated
fairly. How easy to give the facts
and in a manly way. All classes in
Alaska are satisfied, so why should
this newest paper attempt to begin
all over aeain the attack on this
territory. Alaskans can see the old
anti" element of Seattle in it's edi-
torial policy.

The poor trust people find it hard
to understand things. For years we
heard the wall that the antitrust law
was so indefinite that they did not
know how to obey it. The Supreme
Court having, in forcible manner,
made it plain that the law forbids any
agreement or device to exclude COM
petition, the organs complain that
President Wilson's utterances are also
indefinite. AS he has made it plain
that he expects them to obey the law,
there is room for the suspicion that
the real trouble is that he is alto
gether too definite.

the fact that the combinations to
squeeze the public are not exactly
consonant with the character of gen.
