STORM GENERAL
 OVER ALASKA
Mercury Drops to Fourteen Below With Sixty Mile Gale and keeps
 Valdez People Indoors.

That the blizzard and low tenrera- ture which has prevailed in Valdez since yesterday morning is general throughout Alaska is indicated by the reports from the interior anc coast points. The storm is the woks5 which has struck Valdez for years and has served to keep everybody indoors un ,ess absolute necessity demards their facing the gale. The mercury crop ped to IA below at the court house last night and the wind attained ve- locity of nearly sixty miles ao honr. Four below zero was the coldest weather reported here during the the past five years.
 The officers of the Northw .i'erh which was in port yesterday morning reported that terrific gale was blow ing at Seward while the vesse! was in that port and that the weather was intensely. cold.
 The weather report from Interior Alaska as received by the Signal Corps shows that new records for low temperature are being established at points north of the Delta divide and along the Tanana and lower Yukon river. At Richardson, on the Panama river, near the mouth of the Bis Del ta, the mercury Is reported to have dropped to 77 degrees below zero, the coldest ever recorded in the Ta- mana valley since the establishment of the telegraph line to the interior.
 The telegraph operators at Wort- mans report that terrific gale ragged there all night and that they feared for a time that the station would col- lapse. Sleep was out of the ques- tion.
 Both telegraph lines to the interior were out of commission this morn ing but communication was restored shortly before noon, showing that some member of the Signal Corps had risked: his life in the storm to repair the damage done by the storm.

THEODORE Vs. THEODORE.

There is an impression ever this glorious realm that Theodore Burton of Ohio, has put one over on Theo- dore Roosevelt of New York, and that the "putting over" operation was done neatly and expeditiously.
 The two Theodores-Burton and Roosevelt-long ago parted company politically. The question of national defense was the rock on which they split. Senator Burton for many years has been one of the foremost advocates of peace and disarmament and his work in connection with the Carnegie foundation for peace attract ed attention not only in America, but in other countries.
 The other Theodore-Theodore Roosevelt-never has cared particu- larly about peace. On the whole war suits him just as well, and if the people of some other country reach a state of mind where they are spoil ing for a scrap, he would like to ac- commodate them.
 It is known that Col. Roosevelt has been strongly set against Burton as a presidential candidate.
 Burton will never do; he is too much of a mollycoddle on the peace question:" the colonel is quoted as saying.
 It is known that the colonel at the opportune time intended to take a hand to prevent the nomination of Burton, and that his basis of attack would have been Burton's views in opposition, as the colonel saw it, to adequate national defense. He was getting ready to pillory Senator Bur ton as aAsort of Chinafied statesman and to show that the American peo- ple want the other kind of leader -one who will strike out right from the shoulder.
 And then, presto! Something hap pened. Senator Burton slipped one across. He came out in an authoriz- cd statement for national prepared ness. He declared that the opinions any man had held prior to the Euro pean war ought not to be charged against him now, as conditions had changed entirely. He was now in favor of a strong army and navy. He believed the United States ought to be able to put up "front''--that was the word he used-in order to keep other nations of bullying dssposi- tion from tramping on Uncle Sam's corns.
 The statement which Col. Roose- velt was expected to issue for the pur- pose of blowing Senator Burton out of the water is now a back number. It has no more relevancy to present and future conditions than an alma mac of the vintage of 1870. Burton always has been more than half way acceptable to Progressives, and now the colonel has lost his last chance to put him in the "in-bad" class with that element.-Cordova Times.
