DOING GERMANS INJUSTICE

When those German-American newspapers threat en lo anuhHate President Wilson next year with the cans of German birth good Americans as are Americans of British ancestry. Twice the Americans of British birth and British ancestry went to war with Great Britain and they fought them to successful con- cuson The last of these wars over the question of the freedom of Che seas and 1t at time when Great Britain was fighting for supremacy with Napoleon
 The circumstances were exactly parallel to the situation which has resulted in the controversy with Germany. The differences between the United States and Germany are over the question of freedom of the seas.
 We believe however that those who are threaten ing the President are doing gross injustice to Amer- cans of German birth and German ancestry. We believe ,hst the vast majority of Germans who came to this country and became American citizens did so in good faith They have established homes here. here they are living their lives in the various pursuits that other Americans follow. and they rearing American fam lilies and giving them American education. It is doing them rank injustice to say that professional German Americans can vote them as they ft or to intimate that they do not make common with their fellow American citizens in the effort protect the freedom of the seas and to protect American citizens in the ex- ereise of their rights and their freedom. The record of Americans of the German in the United States does not warrant any such accusation
 So far as concerns those few German-Americans who became American citizens with mental reservations and who would make the United States QuastGerman colony 1t is worth while to remember that in 1912 we had some people who opposed the administration for insisting upon the American right to the freedom of the seas Most of them belonged to the Federal party ,he party that opposed the adminstration-and they made 1t SO unpopular that it ceased to exist and the ~er of good feeling when the party of Jefferson was the only American political party, followed

ABOUT NEWS

Ouarreis between the Associated Press and the United Press are no concern of The Empire and the good news associations. and The Empires service is drawn rom both though 90 per cent, or more of 1t comes from the Associated Press Once in while each scores on the other and in while each is caught in a mistake For instance the Dspatch's news ser vice recently said that X. Mitchell Palmer had been appointed Counsellor of the State Department and it repeated it a few days afterward As "a matter or fact the appointment had not been made at last ac- counts It also stated that the late assaiant of J. F. Morgan was teacher of French at Cornell whereas he was teacher of German there.
 However. no matter what the foundation for the United Press dispatches in connection with the report ed assassination of David LoydGeorge it was not near iy SO careless with the truth the Dispatch was in writing about it. The Dispatch said:
 Needless to say that the United Press As
 sociation is now trying to square itself and get
 ont of sending fake news by declaring that it
 was a stock market report Even so, it is an
 admission on the part of the Association that
 1t allowed itself to be worked by interested par
 ties on Wall Street."
 The truth is that the Urited Press did not attempt to square itself It had nothing It was work ed by nobody The original dispatch said that the re- port came from London to New York through private brokers cabegrams but that had not been confirm ed That is the form in which the story was given to the public u Juneau In other words the United Press refused to be responsible for the story It stated the simple fact that private brokers had received cable grams saying what was reported.
 Many people have greatly confused idea about newsgatherng and news associations There is no news association that has any occult mysterious way of getting or dispensing news. They all get their news through plain newspaper men.
 For instance the news of the world is given to the people of Juneau by The Empire and the Dispatch The Empires service is prepared at Seattle by T. w. Todd veteran newspaper of mature age and experience. He is sissouran about 45 years of age, and has held responsible positions on Seattle daily newspapers since 1SS6 He prepares his news from the Associated Press and United Press reports, he Seattle daily papers To- eel columns. and occasionally for Alaska news. from original sources.

 We do not yet know whether Mir. Wilson intends to be candidate for reelection but there is highly important fact that desire emphasize for the bene nt of hypenated friends The next Presidential cleo ton will be decided by American votes not by votes of men who arc at heart subjects of foreign govern ment
 Most Americans who are Americans in spirit as well as by birth or blood choice have become satated by the continuing threat of the socalled German vote in the next election. The changes have been rung upon this theme for nearly a year. The German newspapers In Germany no less arrogant than German news papers and agitators in the United States In boastng of the decisive influence that this vote win exert in electing the President of the United States n 1916

RAILROADS AND PROFITS.

 The experience of the cordova railroad is that which nearly all western railroads have had. There was time when people thought that James J. Hill was crazy for building railroads into upopulated sections of the country. just as there were people few months ago who said that 1t would be 20 years before the Cor doya railroad would pay dividends Both were wrong Hrs railroads have been the most profitable of any in Che West and now the cordova railroad has proved the wisdom Of its builders.
