NO RLFORM THERE.
Just as most people had expected; which was
-ui.it the repabl..-an bosses had net reformed. They
u?t • v>ie?tiy just .is much political croaks today as
they ever were. Their seeming penchant towards re
form was only .. .vask. Such at least appears to fee
the fa-, about Alaska's rep util can boss. Shackleford
K.s announceatent that he ha-i decided to join the
honest politicians and the people is supper? of Dele
gate Wkkerskam. was a rank fraud to deceive a few
%Ve say a few. because Shuck can't deceive many. and
to become as ?■;'..-..can. is set is run. Be
sides. there .s r. sue'* a beast as an honest politician.
Even ;n afairs cf comparatrrriy small importance, a
politician. is order to carry out 3 point will resort to
tricks. a?d tricks are not the toots of honest men.
Is Delegate W.ikersfcuuu's letter published in yes
terday's issue th-: Prrgressive-Sliner. his denial cl
any ecsahmatie® having been ejected with Shsckie
::ri. s dearly forth: and thus stamping the
wcu.i-be boss as an infernal bar. From, that we cor
dude that the . ili-be boss is««ad cf having re
termed, is werse tan? ever, therefore an impossibility
as an hottest politician.
Now when the tele-rates rare: a: Seward, the
would-be boss will be confronted with Wick's denial
of a combination: result: A split in the convention ant
the attempt to re-erguni-e the republican pony ir
Alaska will be smashed to pieces. A ad ft shall eve:
be thus so keg as Shack wants to fee thewhole pash
Cm the other bar: should the delegates decide to si:
rs Shuck an; ha- £ :ver the whip to Wick, everything
wE be alright so tar as the latter is concerned
Really, the way It !:-:ks tc a man up a gem tree, iso
republican party :an be organized in Alaska unless
both Shack asd WUk go way back and sit down.
IT BEAT' ALL. APPARENTLY.
It beats ml h: w some people, com?rat ions o:
com paries can i: business successfully without ever
a sem’t-lar.cu cf an effort to be obliging, punctual oi
in an-rise cs time of their schedules. Supports?
J. R. Heckman & T: ?-tli -iper or close their stem
aj a ay old time of the day: how long would they he
able to keep their trade' Yet. our transportation
com naves' boats conv and go at their pleasure, un
mindful of the inconvenience, not mentioning annoy
ance they cause their patrons. And still they do
bus.is.ess.
For instance: 'a person desires to take a trip. Ho
resides at 1-erirg. say: he looks up the schedule of
the boat he wants to travel on and finds that it .
leaves Seattle on Monday. He packs up whatever he
wants to take and proceed to Ketchikan in time to
• take the boat according to schedule- But lo. and
behold the beat does not show up for Hours and
sometimes days. The best's sailing has been post
: poned, or somethin.'. Here he is waiting and the
cussed hoat does not appear. This is extremely an
1 roving 25 everybody will admit, yet there is no
remedy because it is understood that a schedule is
’ no schedule at all sice it specifies that the sailing
date ''ay be changed without notice: and there you
, are.
Of course if the sailing date can be change1
without notice, it follows that the hour can also be
changed at the o' " ' any *s pleasure. That goes with
cut saying. This may be for various reasons But
the peculiar part of it is that the Canadian compan
ies ear always—or nearly so—manage to follow their
schedules. Their motto seems to be “on time- or a?
> least irithit a few hours. It r ay be. however, tha”
• our America” companies do not cars' for much busi
| ness- If such is the case, r.o wonder they are so
! careless about their schedules.
01 R STRENGTH AND M E VKNESS.
! From the Outlook.)
tv.. have more accumulated wealth than any other
•wo rations: »e have a greater mileage of railways
than a'! Europe: of motor cars and tracks we pos
sess probably twice as many as al. the nations of
Europe combined: of :ron and steel, we produce as
much as the total of any three nations, and of cop
ier more than all the rest of the world: of tele
phones in use we have three times as many as the
aggregate of al the nations now- at war. and of
telegraph lines as many miles as a-y other two na
tions. Here are elements of military strength which,
properly utilised is connection with the sufficiency of
;raised scld.ers protect us from defeat—pos
slbly make us immune from attack. But our trained
soldiers are barely one per 1.000 of population, while
those of possible enem.:es are sixty to 1.000. and
there is so correlation between cur mines, our fac
tories. our r ears cf transportation and communica
tion or the one hand, and our military establish
ment and plans of defense on the other. That we
are quick and resourceful in as emergency is uni
versally conceded, bat to rely upon this in place of
•tiltary training and proper co-ordiaatioa of our
economic resources is to invite certain disaster
