must feed them. and yet we see from
the papers this week that England

The sooner we of this country

predicated upon this stern basis
of business, and adjust ourselves
to this established rule. the more
solid will our commercial trans
actions with foreign countries
become.

LEAVE IT TO WILSON.

From bits of news picked here and there,
the press of the allied countries, including our
own country, voicing the sentiment of the armies
and the people, is unanimous in it's approval of
President Wilson's reply or rather his quizzing
of the German Chancellor. This approval is
gratifying as it shows unity in watching the
Huns that they may not camouhage the world
with Misrepresentation If the Huns mean
business and really desire peace, let them show
good faith. And there is no way whereby they
can do that better than by withdrawing their
forces from the territory they have invaded.
After second thought, Germany's propos-
al appears nothing if not ridiculous. Especially
in her demand for an armistice. For trespas-
ser still in possession of property trespassed
upon to ask favors of the owner of the property,
is i'll becoming. The least he should do would
be to give up the property to the owner before
asking favors. This is the exact position Ger
many stands in today She is a trespasser
She, with violence and malice aforethought in
vaded her neighbors' territory, ravaged devas-
tated, destroyed everything in her path; either
murdered or reduced to slavery the citizens; now
that she finds herself forced to retire by an out
ragged world, she wants favors. Nothing doing
in the way of favors. Leave her to President
Wilson He'll attend to her case Which is
Just what the world is doing.

AWAKE ALASKA

1t strange indeed that many people in Alaska,
facing they do at the moment the most ser
curtament of their industrial development, should
listen to the voice of the siren in the person of those
who vilying Delegate Suffer- and again rally
ing to the support of who has politically shown
himself to be Alaskas worst enemy. During his brief
incumbency Delegate Sulzer has made good. In the
short period of two he has accomplished
strucve work than in previous years. Suzer rep
fesents the whole territory and has from the moment
he took office to play fair and there is
why he should reelected. People Of Ktech
kan, Wrangel and Petersburg should vote for Suzer
if they wish protect the fishing industry which has
built these places People of Cordova and the whole
Copper River Valley should port Sulzer unless they
wish to cessation of all industrial development in
that direction Suzer is neither friend a foe of
successful business, but know that his opponent has
never claimed to be friend of industrial progress in
Alaska. With the many people leaving Anchorage
strong following how much sensible would it be
at this late day for the remaining population to sit
quietly by and ruminate the 1918 results of
tinued attack the mining fishing and transportation
industries generally and admit that there
time when successful business enterprises more
greatly needed in those localities than right now and
every vote for Sulzer is clearly vote for progress
peace and prosperity. Awake Alaska!-Mnjng Journal

ECHO FROM THE WESTWARD.

According to exchanges from the westward
the approach of election is evidenced by mud
singing, abuses, defamation of character down
to unadulterated lies in order to gain point
here and there. But that is, and has always
been the chief stock in trade of some would-be
politicians. Some of these are never satisfied
unless they abuse some one Thus far in this
campaign, this part of Alaska has been free from
mud throwers, but from the sound heard from
the westward, our turn will come soon.
In our opinion, we have trouble enough with
out importing trouble makers. For that reason,
it would seem the duty of the local council of
defense to warn those who may have trouble
of their own to refrain from airing them in
public. This is no time to create or encourage
factions for selfish interest. Any public dis
cussion outside of encouraging the spirit to win
this war, should be barred out.
