KETCHIKAN. ALASKA. JUNE 27. 191S.
WASTING AMMUNITION.
Another paper bullet has been sent across the
border; but for all the good it will do, it might
as well have been kept at home. Even if Car
ranza himself would promise on oath to be good,
he would be false to his promise that much soon
er. Those greasers prefer to be false to a prom
ise any day than be true. Their whole composi
tion is made up of cussedness, deceit and coward
ice. Their tendency to imitate the snakes in that
respect is proverbial.
Yet, and despite all that, the administration
keeps on shooting paper bullets. Knowing very
well that kindness will never do. Cold steel is
what they want and plenty of it. It may be.
however, that the president’s reluctancy to take
the proper remedy is due to the fact that it is
only recently that he stopt the shipping of arms
and ammunition into Mexico, and naturally he
dislikes to send American citizens into that
country as targets for the greasers to spend our
steel on.
A people like the Mexicans should be deprived
of all arms, even jackknives. They are savages.
But if we want to be kind to them, let us put
ropes around their necks and hoist them up. To
use steel would be a waste of ammunition. They
are not worth it.
WRONG AGAIN.
Even the women of Seattle are appalled at the
lack of patriotism shown among the young men
who are keeping away from the recruiting sta
tion. “If you don’t enlist, we will," is the sug
gestion the women carry on tags. They say
that every young man ought to be wearing khaki.
Lack of patriotism, is it? Well, hardly^ The
real young men who would enlist; the real men
who would go to war without shivering; the men
upon whom the nation—any nation—depends
for its safety from attack by an enemy, have a
grudge against the women of the State of W’ash
ington and Oregon, that they will not soon for
I get. It was these very women who curtailed
their liberty last fall. It is these women and the
“cissy” young men who threaten all kinds of re
forms on the real men; which reforms they carry
out at every opportunity. Under such condi
tion. if the women think that the real men will
' anticipate their desire, they are mistaken. The
real man is a man wherever he may be. He wants
his liberty at home, and for that liberty he is
ready to fight anytime, but if he is slapped at
home, he is sure to resent it and will take every
opportunity to show his resentment. It is natural
; for the real man to be mean if you kick him in
the pants.
EVERYBODY IS BUSY.
Everybody is busy these days preparing for
the great celebration. From all appearances,
things will be moving fro mthe first of July to
the sixth. Those who can possibly leave their
work should take advantage of the opportunity
to visit our neighbors, thereby help to cement
the friendship that should obtain.
A SUGGESTION.
(Iditarod Pioneer.)
The unprecedentedly large number of persons who
have perished on Alaska trails and in remote districts
during the past winter, especially in the northwestern
portion and on the Seward peninsula, suggests that there
ought to be some means of minimizing these pitiful trag
edies of the North. Most of them appear to have occur
red close to human habitations, and in many instances
the victims were known to have been on the trail; in
other cases the unfortunates could have been aided had
a regular trail patrol been maintained.
Uncle Sam maintains in Alaska hundreds of husky
men In practical idleness. There never has been a satis
factory answer to the question as to why army posts
were maintained in the various sections of the territory
j It is safe to say that these men would welcome duty that
would take them out on the various trails instead of
wasting their time in idleness from month to month in
barracks. With the force of soldiers constantly main
tained in the territory there would be an opportunity for
the organization of the most effective trail patrol imagin
able.
Why does not some "constructive statesman" in the
war department break through the enveloping red tape
sufficiently to give these soldiers a useful task to per
form. and at the same time furnish a measure of protect
ion to the hardy fellows who are pioneering the work of
bringing the widemess under man’s subjection? The
press of the territory continues to publish lists of murders
that have been committed in Alaska for which no one
has been brought to the bar of justice. With a trail
patrol of several hundred men working in conjunction
with the civil authorities there would be little chance
for the perpetrator of a crime to escape from the terri
j tory. *
It is probable that the utilizing of the soldiers for this
purpose often has been suggested, and the many ob
jections and difficulties pointed out; but there is no rea
son why it should not be reiterated until the authorities
, find some way of furnishing protection to travelers in
the Northland.

Victory Murdock says that as a result of what hap
, pened in Chicago he’s at sea on a raft with a shirt flying
for a signal of distress. William Allen White, brother
Progressive, says he is "floundering around In a slough
of indecision." Kansas must be full of harrowing spec
tacles these days.— (Everett Herald.)
