Editor of the Capital
The city statesmen of both parties
at the present time are much concern
ed about many things besides the ap-
preaching congressional election and
the war In fact the election of Con-
gresham does not appear 10 be wor-
rying them in the slightest degree,
and party men of all sorts, from the
highest TO the subordinates of low
standard do not seen TO care how
the election goes in November, in any
of the districts in the state. except
the first. All their attention seems
to be concentrated in the two great
fights staged for next year-the fight
for Mayor and other city Offices, in
May, and the state fight for Governor
and state and county officers in No
vember. Very few seem to care who
may be elected to Congress, while
nearly everyone who has the slight
est interest in politics shows great
concern over what may be in store
in party affairs next year.
And is is becoming more and more
evident every day that the tide of hos
tility of the denomination of Mayor
Preston is growing so strong that
he will be swept out of the way by its
force. Indeed it is openly predicted
that in a very short time the Mayor
will voluntarily withdraw, and an
nounce that he will not be a candi-
date again. Many of his warmest
admirers predict that he will do this,
and relieve his large number of loyal
supporters of all anxiety in the mat
ter Should he take this course, ii
Is believed that several gentlemen
of more or less prominence and dis
tinction will at once announce their
willingness to enter the fight, for
fight it will be of the most strenu-
Gus sort, before the final act is pulled
off in May. Those who may desire
to secure the nomination, have most
wholesome fear of Mayor Preston, and
it will be hard to get any real sub
stantial sort of a candidate in the
field, before he retires. Those who
are ambitious to succeed him in the
City Hall, do not wish to offend him,
and all hope to secure his open or
tacit approval before deciding what
to do. AT the present time, early as
it is, there are several men of prom
inence, citizens of proved ability and

FOR ALL THAT IS FINE AND HOLY

There are some people who profess
to be greatly concerned about the bru-
talizing effect the war is going TO have
on our boys II is about time these
people Cured their worrying with
facts.
The Americans who are fighting tor
us in Europe are enduring a good
many hardships and living under con-
ditions that tend to rub of superficial
evidences of refinement. AS one young
preacher who was the "Y' man with
an American machine gun company
at Chateau Thierry writes TO friend
in this country.
you have got 10 realize under what
a tremendous physical and mental
strain these men are living. They
can't always be as polite as some folks
seem to want them to be-"
This man hiked and worked and
rested with the front ranks of advanc-
ing Americans at the Marine. He adj
mits that there is much profanity and
roughness among them, but adds:
1.-THE longer | work and live with
these men the more i become con-
WINGED of their essential goodness. l
believed in them when was still back
home | have daily proof of their
fineness and goodness here on the bat
tlefront."
Let any who seek proof read the
letters of the boys themselves. One
letter, printed in part in the Literary
Digest, is valuable because it is so
typical of the majority To his mother
the writer of the letter said:
when the United States Marines
get the Kaiser, and the Crown Prince
has to roll his own pill, | will come
back, and il / do not come back the
man you would like to see am badly
mistaken.
1.-The past six months have made
home and mother very dear and
sacred to me and to thousands of
other boys. God helping me, / will
commit no sin that by His help l can
avoid. Do not worry about me moral
ly or physically. If l should meet
death | will die like man for the
most sacred cause our country or any
other country has ever called upon
mothers to give their sons to, but /
am certain that 1 am coming back,
and coming back man."
Jos. II. Oddell, special correspond
ent at the front for the Outlook. has
been studying soldiers in the mass and
as individuals with greatest thorough
ness. He says that our soldiers, even
more than those of any other of our
allies, still hold the crusading spirit.
He says in part:
Our army has a mission. a sacred
mission. and from the officer in COM
mand down to the lowliest enlisted
man there is a feeling of dedication.
They are all fighting for a cause, and
each is the champion of all that is fine
and holy and worthwhile in the
world"
To believe for moment that our
men will return brutalized in soul and
body is to doubt the very cause for
which they are giving their lives and
the principles they would vindicate by
beating Prussianism. No. let the peo-
pie who are wringing their hands and
bemoaning the Capitalization" of our
soldiers look to their own souls. They
have much to do to make themselves
worthy to welcome those fighting men
when they come home again.

AMERICANS ARE
ANXIOUS To GET
CRACK At HUNS

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May IT,
The enthusiasm and ambition of the
officers and men of the American navy
abroad to get substantial crack at
the Germans Is fully equal to that
displayed by the land forces, said
Chaplain P. E. sydler of the navy,
upon his return from Europe yester-
day.
Word that the Germans feet was
coming out to give battle would be
greeted with cheers, he said.
Speaking of the recent successful
raids made by the British naval
forces upon the German submarine
bases, Rev. Mr.. Sydler said that nu-
merous American officers applied for
permission to take part in the raid
on Zeebrugge, but were refused. 1t
was rumored that one American of
ficer succeeded in getting on board one
of the raiding ships, and was one of
the first to land ON the mole, where
he was wounded.

PERFECT PLANS
FOR RED CROSS
WAR FUND DRIVE

The committee in charge of the Red
Cross war drive is planning on an &C
tive campaign for the purpose of rails
ing funds to carry on the work of this
has been fixed at $2,5OO by the North
west division. Manager Davies wire
to Malcolm Brock is as follows:
Committee thinks Cordova should
have no trouble raising $4,000, be
cause Cordova and Ketchikan are the
two most prosperous towns in Alaska" !"
The Copper River railway and the
Alaska Steamship Company come for
ward with the first contribution. It
is 5000. and they are willing to give
$500 more if Cordova can raise an
equal percentage over it's quota.
A general canvass of the town will
be made for funds, and the executive
committee which has this work il
charge will meet Sunday afternoon
at o'clock to perfect it's plan of ac-
ton.
The Northwest division, which in.
cludes Cordova Chapter, has asked
that next Monday, the first day of the
drive, be set aside as Mercy Day, and
asks every employe who has not
otherwise contributed to give one
days wages to the cause, AS this
will likely be the last call this yeas
from the national organization for
funds, everybody should be willing to
do his or her part.
All of next week will be devoted to
Red Cross work, and upon the arrival
of the steamship Alameda Mr.. Rogers
will be here from Seattle and will ex
plain to our people the urgent neces.
sity of a liberal contribution of funds
at this time The ladies of the chap.
ter will also conduct food sale, and
on Tuesday evening there will be a
Jitney dance at Eagles hall, the music
for which will be furnished by an or.
chestra of ten pieces. AS a climax to
the drive, on Monday, May 27, a bic
vaudeville show will be staged at the
Empress theater. The program will
include some exceptionally good mum
bers, and a crowded house will un
doubtedly greet the local performers
