Sir: / for one pm sick and tired Of

surrounded by heaps Of "punkins,'
cabbages, turnips and "sich," thrown
in, probably, to typify our prosper

is nothing heroic or inspiring in such
a picture. The only serious reflection
il inspires is that Uncle Sam is sor-

Somewhat Captious and Inconsistent

Our good neighbor "Thc World" is becoming a
little captous in its judgments of others. 1t has
disowned the Presidents Mexican policy and de-
nounced it as an iuglorouS failure. Yet 1t chides
us because We too. for our own reasons, think
that the administration has failed utterly in
handling the Mexican situation. Our line of argu-
ment may differ little from THE Worlds but
we both arrive at tho same result so far as Mr..
Wilson's activities in Mexico are concerned Why
not let the fact Of concord on the main issue
speak for itself?
Again. "The World" charges us with offensive
partisanship because we have criticised some OF
Mr.. Wilson's appointments to high diplomatic
posts-the Pindell appointment, for instance, and
the substitution of Mr.. Morgenthau for Mr.. Rock
hill and Of Mr.. Sharp for Mr.. Herrick In this
great crisis, it says, when the American diplo-
matte service is carrying such heavy responsible
ties and is winning the admiration Of Europe
we should all be patriots enough to stand solidly
behind our foreign representatives, whatever their
relative lack of qualifications before taking office.
Yet in tho same column in which it offers us
this advice it takes the liberty Of lambasting that
kingpin of Wilsonian diplomacy, the present Sec
retary of State We agree heartily with what
"The World" said in its excellent article on the
Ozark Department conducted by Mr.. Bryan. Yet
what becomes of our neighbor's high call for a
patriotic suppression of criticism, so far as the
foreign service is concerned, when IT brazenly
directs its own batteries of disapproval at the
very head and front of that exempted service? II
the agents should be spared who do Mr.. Bryan s
bidding in the capitals Of the world, the mind
which directs their labors should certainly be

The Nays Shortage in Men.

The report Of Rear Admiral Victor Blue is a
clear exposition of the inadequate personnel Of
our navy. Americans are already more or less
familiar with the shortage of men and ofiicers
the statements Of the chief of the Bureau Of
Nagiration place the condition in uncontrovertible
form and give basis upon which Congress can
and must act
In the next year and half eight destroyers,
ten submarines, two dreadnoughts and several
auxiliary units viii enter the service To man
these vessels and bring our present battle fleet up
to fighting strength will require $4,000 additional
enlisted men. Admiral Blue also points out the
ludicrous state Of laws in preventing the pro-
motion Of officers to rank which conforms with
their duties Practically all the officers on ships
in Mexican waters, for example, except heads OF
departnents, were in the grade Of ensign. SINH
larlv. it has been extremely difficult to detach
enough officers from fleet duty 70 train torpedo
officers, branch of the service which has become
of first importance in view Of submarine advance
The present condition stunts the service, is un-
lust to the men and seriously hampers the sue
cessful operation of our fleets. Congress cannot
act too quickly to remedy this deficiency and it is
greatly 10 be hoped that Secretary Daniels will
at least not actively oppose the increased appro-
priatons demanded

Mr.. Whitman and State Chairman Tanner
after having killed off the Barnes issue" in the
campaign, are reported to be much disturbed
because Mr. Barnes and some of his friends are
engaged in their customary pursuit of snug politi
cal Jobs for the faithful. This pursuit should
occasion no surprise Mr.. Whitman and Mr..
Tanner in accepting Mr.. Bamess aid and COM
fort in the primary and election campaigns,
should have been quite prepared to have claims
for recognition in the way of patron. made
by the Barnes element of the .y. The "Old
Guard" isn't in the habit Of giving something
for nothing, and Mr.. Whitman didn't get "Old
Guard" votes because Of an awed admiration for
his virtues, but largely because Of lively eX-
pectation of Jobs for "Old Guardsmen" if he went
into Office.
The Governor-elect appears to realize now that
the issue is confronting him in some degree which
confronted Governor Hughes-whether to placate
that element of the party by "co-operation" or to
fight it. Refusal to give Barnes men places, and,
still more, use of his powcr to per-ua' other
ofcials-elect 20 refuse to give Barnes men places,
as Mr.. Whitman is said to be about to do, will
be construed by Mr.. Barnes and Mr.. Wadsworth
as a challenge to battle.
Mr.. Whitman will be picking out a hard path
if he brings on that fight, as Governor Hughes's
experience proved. He viii be picking out a
harder path if he doesn't, as -vcrnor Glynn's
experience proved. The voters of this state have
no use for a Governor who Is not his own man,
completely and beyond peradyenture. They will
forgive mistakes made by sucl an executive,
but will not forgive nor forget executive truck
ling to any boss I'm 10 matter Of governmental
places and policy. Mr.. Whitman should not listen
TO any smooth words about party harmony
Even if by thwarting whatever Barnes de-
mands he encounters he precipitates opposition
TO himself among his associates and i'm the Legis-
lature, it will be healthier for him and his party
than if he "co-c 3rates" with tie "Old c. d."
Whatever he has achieved in The past he was
able to achieve because he had the public with
him and enjoyed public confidence and good will.
That must mean more to him than Barnes's good
will

The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1914-01-20

A concentration is soon to be built
at Latouche which it is claimed will
result in revolutionizing the copper
mining industry of Prince William
Sound. A new system, invented
several years ago and which has
been subjected to the severest tests,
using fuel oil instead of coke will
be installed. 1t is claimed that
ores as. low as two per cent copper
can be handled at profit by the
new system, and as there are enor-
nous bodies of low grade copper
ores on Latouche and other Prince
William Sound islands much will
depend on the success of the enter
prise.
AT present no effort is made to
mine copper ores which do not give
returns of s or 10 per cent copper
in addition to the other minerals
carried by the ores. The work of
erecting the buildings and install
ing the plant will be done by Mr..
Norberg who erected the concen-
traitor at Kennicott.

Three hundred more deaths were

as result of the earthquake and

Sakira island. Hundreds of refugees,
whose homes had been destroyed by
the ashes and stones thrown up by
the volcano took refuge in huge
cave under an overhanging cliff
near this city. The earth has con-
tinued to tremble Internationally
since the shock which preceded the
eruption of Sakurapima volcano and
had caused the cliff to become badly
cracked. Last night the whole top

Hundreds are known to have been
killed while many more are i'm

of which is covered with hundreds
of tons of rock.
