THE CAUSE OP ITALY.
Whatever of justice mu' lie con
tained In the Italian demand that Aus
tria hand over a few square miles of
her territory to her western neighbor,
wo know not. but it seems at best a
most trivial excuse for plunging the
nation into the blood.' maxes of the ■,
great war and adding a further chap
ter of horrors to those now being writ
ten in ghastly rubrics in the history of :
Europe. And yet that is what the
Italian people are facing in the present
hour if the late dispatches are a faith- .
ful indication of the situation. For the ,
sake of a few added miles of territory, i
some thirty millions of people are to |
lie visited with war’s afflictions: for the
sake of a trifling enlargement in the ;
national boundries, which can add but
little to the wealth, the strength and
glory of the nation, over a million of
the young and virile manhood of Italy
arc waiting on the boundries for the
signal that will send them rushing into •
the death dealing fury of conflict and i
behind them are still more millions of ■
the nation’s sons ready to be sacrificed
at the will of the national overlords.
For a briefly extended sway, the
young and strong and brave must of
fer up their lives on the gore drenched
battle fields and the heart strings of
the nation must lie torn with anguish.
And in the event that the foe may
prove more powerful than supposed,
the utter desolation which war alone
can bring will descend in an avalanche
of affliction such as lias already visit
ed the fair and verdant reaches of
northern France and Belgium and woe
and misery will follow the scorched and
blackened pathway of the sword
Unless there be more weighty rea
sons than those indicated in the brief
dispatches it would seem that the ill -
sustained excuses of Russia, France,
England und Germany for plunging
I heir people into suffering and distress,
are clothed in righteousness and sus
tained by truth ns compared to that of
fered by Italy to the woi id and her
own people, for it is assuredly true that
no more cold blooded reason could be
offered for inviting the dread horrors
und calamities following in the wake of
war
WICK. EXPOSED
Tho following clippings are taken
from tho Seward Gateway:
By reading the Alaska column of this
paper you can see that Delegate Wick*
erahftxn stated to a sub-committee of
tho Ways and Means of the House that
he ran at the last election in Alaska as
a Progressive Democrat. He also
states that Bunnell ran as a stand-pat
Democrat. The Juneau Empire, which
by the way, objects to heing called the
organ of the Democratic organization
in the capitl by the Gateway—the
Juneau Empire waxes wrath at the gall
of the honorable James and one can
hardly blame it. for if ever there was
nerve exhibited that could beat that
statement of Mr. WicUersham it ought
io pose for moving pictures and speak
into a phonograph that it might be
perpetuated.
President Wilson wrote in favor of
Bunnell and probably was unite nbU
\ lous to the fact that he was supporting
a Taft in sheep's clothing while the
only Progressive Democrat of oil the
Progressive Democrats that helped to
defeat Jack Rnnan and Boh Jennings
was a candidate In opposition to the
man favored by the White House
There Is nothing left for every De
mocrat in the territory now tint to
apologize to Mr Wickershnm. Forget
the fact that President Wilson appoint
ed Bunnell and Jennings to judgeships
Erwin and Jordan to marshnlships.
Both to attorneyship, Davidson to sur
veyorship and Strong to a mere gov
ernorship They were members of the
democratic organization that Mr Wiek
ershnm has shown to tlie world to hi'
nothing hut the opponents of progres
sive democracy.
They should he indicted for ohtainlng
money under false pretenses
The following is the article referred
to:
In a statement before a sub-commit
tee of the Ways and Means committee
of the House of Representatives Dele
gate Wickershnm said
"Now Mr* Chairman, in hie last
message to Congress in respect to Al
. ska. the president made us a promise
in Alaska, and our people up there are
depending upon it. At this last election
in Alaska we all supported Mr Wilson
I ran on what was known as the Pro
gressive Democratic ticket up there, ,
and 1 made more speeches throughout
tlie country than anv other member of
Congress. I dare say, and I made them
willingly, earnestly and above board.
We were greatly pleased with Mr Wil
son's Alaska policy and we »upi*orted
him earnestly I got about <1.00(1 votes
Another gentleman ran nri what was
known as the Standpat Democratic .
ticket, and he got almost all the rest of ,
them and both of os standing on the j
same platform, doing everything we v
could in support of Mr Wilson and 11is
announced Alaskan policv '
NO PRECEDENT
_
A London paper remarks that in view
of our own high handed and illegal act
in the Trent affair during tin- civil war.
we Americans might consider ourselves
estopped front complaining of tin* com
paratively moderate and not illegal
British exercise of the right of search
and detention in this war.
That might lie a sounder argument,
but for the omission of an important
factor.
It will be. remembered that the
British mail steamer Trent was forcibly
stopped on the high setts hv the Ameri
can war vessel San Jacinto and hoard
ed by tin armed party, who seized two
passengers, the confederate envoys.
Mason and Slidell, who were tarried
as prisoners to the San .Jacinto and
thereafter imprisoned in one of the
forts in Boston harbor.
Certainly a most high handed act on
the part of that blunt sailor, Cupt.
Wilkes, which has had no parallel as
yet in the exercise of the right of
search for contraband in the present
war.
i But It Just ns certainly forms no
precedent against nnr government. For
our government recognized the illegal
ity of the act. President Lincoln say
ing: "We cannot abandon our own
I principles. We shall have to give these
men up and apologize for what we
have done.”
Iti short, the I'nited States govern
ment was as ready to repair the wrong
it did in the Trent case as it was firm
in claiming redress for the wrong it
suffered in the Alabama case. Milwau
