FRIDAY. MARCH io, 1916.
While the president in so in
dustriously busy tr\ing to jam
the international law down the
throat of Germany, in an endeav
or to make that recalcitrant na
tion observe the righteous prin
ciples therein represented, we
wonder why he does not display
more zeal with respect to others
who are no less guilty of fractur
ing those, to him, holy pro
nouncements for which he insists
that »afea,1ntes,nffinliJ;
event that they have no better
sense than to place themselves
in positions of danger. While he
is assuming the duty of acting as
a policeman for the world where
Germany in the culprit, why does
he not also swing the menacing
club over the head of others who
have and are doing the country
more actual damage every month
than Germany has done in the
entire war period?
W hile he is forever barking
and jawing at Germany why does
he not say more than an occa
' 'ona! deprecatory word to Eng
land, who is manifestly guilty of
the grossest infractions of his
beloved international code. In
view of his constant nagging at
Germany for her failings with re
spect to that bunch of judicial
nonsense dignified by the title of
"law” we may, with good reason,
ask who has been guilty of the
most extensive violations of the
international law.
Is it Germany, or is some
other? What ha9 Germany done,
that we must constantly threaten
her with severance of friendly
relations or worse? The answer
is obvious; she has endangered
and destroyed American lives and
sunk a few ships containing Am
erican products through her sub
marine operations. This is truly
a damning indictment; but, what
else has she done? We don’t
hear any answer All of this was
assuredly in defiance of the in
ternational code, which says that
neutral lives and commerce shall
not be needlessly endangered
We are, therefore, justified in
calling her to account, and are
doing so with all the vim and
energy with which our estimable
chief executive is endowed. Ger
many has committed these grave
infractions of the blessed interna
tional law in about a dozen in
stances, perhaps less- Well and
good. We can condemn Germany
righteously for what she has done
and hold her to a strict account
ing; we may use up all our stock
of explosives in damning; we
may pour out upon her head all
the venom and vituperation with
which our system is filled for
such cruel and inhumane acts and
even then we will not have visit
ed upon her one half of the blame
that she deserves. Germany has
been grossly and manifestly
wrong, but, wrong as she has
been, is she the sole offender? Is
she the only one who has injured
us and damaged us by violating
our privileges? Are there no
others who have caused us dis
tress by violating that law to
which we hold Germany to such
strict account? Is Germany the
only one who has transgressed?
What about our whilom friend
England? Has she not offended
the strict principles of that law
which we hold up to Germany as
the standard of national conduct?
Who has been guilty of the gros
ser violations of that section of
iat: maTiiauuiiui mw icici inij^ to
the rights of neutrals, England
or Germany? We blame Ger
many for setting up arbitrary
rules restricting the rights of
neutrals to travel the high seas
without molestation. In fact that
is the very basis of our original
dispute with that nation. Today,
also, we are quarreling with her
because we insist that we have
a right to travel the seas as we
will without being molested.
\\ hy, then, if the privilege of
the seas is the basis of our con
tentions, why do we not proceed
to denounce England for breaking
the international law through re
striding the rights of neutrals to
travel the high seas without mo
lestation? W ho is it that has
crippled and destroyed the com
merce of, not only America, but
every other neutral nation in de
fiance of all the principles o£ in
ternational rule and custom since
the very beginning of the war?
Who is it that, in pursuanc^iof a
personal plan to starve and de
stroy an enemy, has made the
world conform to an arbitrary
rule, countenanced by none of
those immaculate precepts by
which our president presumes to
act as judge and jury over Ger
many, and which, moreover, has
at its back, not so much the sub
jugation of an enemy as the de
struction of all commercial
growth which threatens the trade
dominance enjoyed by its promul
gator ?
Who is it that is today telling
us that we may ship some com
modities to neutral nations and
must withhold others dfk have
been arbitrarily pronounped con
traband of war merely because
it suited some one else’s purposes
to do so? Who was it that or
dered American ships loaded with
American goods destined for
neutral countries to deviate from
their course and remain for weeks
and months in ports other than
the port of destination while an
arbitrary search for contraband,
which has no legitimate excuse
or precedent in international law',
or any other law, save the law
of might, is being conducted un
der circumstances which cause
enormous losses to the owners?
Who is it that is at this very
moment saying what we shall
ship and how and under what con
ditions it shall be done, even
though the shipments are to non
belligerent and legitimate mar
kets. Who is it that only yester
day told us under what conditions
our ships of commerce might sail
the seas? The answer is, my
masters, England. Today not a
ship or bark leaves the shores of
these United States for a foreign
port but it is done with the let
and suiferance of England. It
matters not if the vessel is destin
ed to the port of a neutral nation
or not, if England does not fancy
the cargo or its destination it will
never reach that destination until
England is ready. Sha has seized
urn aiiu (.rngucs tindei eveiy
conceivable pretext and has so
constantly added to the contra
band laws that there is little left
to prohibit. She has curtailed our
traffic, destroyed our commerce
to all but such nations as she
fancied and has even been so bold
as to forcibly board our ships and
seize the persons of such of our
sailors whom she suspected of be
longing to the nations of her
enemies. True, she has not mur
dered any of our people but that
need not enter into the discus
sion. In the case of Germany we
are holding her to a strict ac
counting for her violations of the
There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good” in
Alaska and that’s the

“HIPRESS”j
White Boot
"With the Red-ldne
nsr-. ’round the Top”
j
You know that when a Boot
1 comes in and simply sweeps the country
like “jnPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHING LN USUAL — for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
V\ hite Goodrich HIPRESS” Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather —they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
] J 'l|| The reason for this unusual service Is that “JHIPRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned hoot. They
11 M j are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
'll I J yj welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
If! I There’s nothing to come apart —they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
S j They’re comfortable, too —shaped to the foot while its working. We
I promise that once you start wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be
i fifti 6atis ed with anything else. |
And remember—there is but ONE “HIPRESS” Boot—it has
a Red-Line 'round the Top.
DEALERS; If not already stocked on "HIPRESS* write at once for samples and price*.
This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever pot late Alaska.

privileges of the seas, so why not
England as well? It is plainly
nroven that her infractions of the
international law are far more
numerous than those of Germany
;nd are doing us untold damage
through the destruction of our
foreign trade. If we are fighting
for the privileges of the seas why
is England left to do as she wills
while Germany is held to strict
reckoning? If we are supporting
a principle, why do we not dis
play a trifle more consistency by
Toing after one violator as hard
as we do after another?
