HERRON COMES OCT FOR
DELEGATE WICKKRSHAM
The. Cook Inlet Pioneer, under the
management of Charles Herron and
edited by H. G. Steel, has made a de
cided change in its political complex
ion from that of its former manage
ment. At the top of its editorial
page it declares for Theodore Roose
velt for President and James Wjck
ersham for Delegate. Three months
ago Mr. Herron was probably as bit
ter an enemy as the delegate had in
Alaska, but he took a trip to Wash
ing, where he experienced a change
of heart both rapid and startling.
It is said that Mr. Herron has re
cently had some difficulties with the
Republican party leaders.

HOW IT WOULD BE IF THE .
U. S. HAD CONSCRIP1ION
Berne, May 15. —A. little blue book,
Mr. American, with your name and
your photograph and a score of facts
about your life written in it, which
you would carry in your pocket all
the time, would be the token of the
upheavel in Amercan life which
would be caused by the introduction
of the Swiss military system, in its
entirety, in the United States.
“Here’s my book,” said Luigi Corii
a storekeeper of Chiasso, who used to
live in Texas.
“Every Swiss must carry his book
with him. When 1 go to the bank I
take it. When I go to a strange Swiss
city I am asked for it. I show it when
I register at the hotel, when I draw
money, when I send a telegram. My
book shows how much military ser
vi<4 I’ve done. If I neglected my duty
my book will show it.”
“Do you think Americans would
like to have to carry a book like
that?”
“Not the kind of Americans 1 used
to know in Texas twenty years ago.
Americans don't like the government
to interfere with them,” said Luigi.
Luigi was in the American army
during the Spanish-American war.
“This little book,” he explained,
“is isued by the federal government.
Down in Texas folks get along al
right with the moyar and the police
men and ttie sheriff, but the minute
you said 'United States Marshal’ they
pricked up their ears.
“American folks don’t Jilte to be
governed by Washington.”
“Luigi Corti had his Texas folks
right. He had a lot of other Ameri
cans right, too. This little blue book
would mean that you were tabbed
and listed by the federal government.
Some years ago this would have
sounded more un-American than it
does today, because in reality you are
now tabbed and listed on the federal
income rolls. But this little book of
military service and citizenship would
keep you in your niche, right under
the eye of the federal military author
ities, all the time.
If you left Chicago to live in Cleve
land you would be forced to have
your military book vised by the mili
tary authorities.
A centralized government would
have Us grip on you.
Even the Swiss after eighteen
months of war, are becoming restless
under the central military control of
Berne. In peace times the local com
mander is an officer chosen by the
soldiers in the local troop; he is al
ways a man from the neighborhood.
But during the war high officers
from Berne have gone to the various^
corners of Switzerland to take con
trol and the independent Swiss citi
zens don't like it. Not any more than
Americans in California would like to
have an army officer from Washing
ton come and rule their lives and ac
tions. There have been half a dozen
parliamentary quarrels in the Swiss
congress within the past four months
over this matter.
The little blue book, Issued by the
state government, wouldn't he an in
convenience. Americans in every dis
trict, to Judge by th experience of
the Swiss, would want to elect their
own officers and be under the control
of their own state government.
Any Swiss can Jell you that to sub
mit to any other arrangement is to
upset the fundamental ideas on which
both the United States and the Swiss
federation were founded.
Military men in Switzerland want
federal control.
The citizens want canton or state
control. And when they don’t have it
they raise a row that serves to ease
up the federal pressure on them.
