NO COMPROMISE ON
ROOSEVELT IS SCHEME
NEW YORK.—That enemies of
former President Theodore Roosevelt
have been at work for weeks to pre
vent any compromise which would
permit the late presidential candidate
of the Progressive party to control
the situation at the Republican Na
tional convention when it conVenes
in Chicago is admitted by leaders ot
the movement who are now out in
the opeu to secure strictly anu
Roosevelt delegations from New York
Pennsylvania. Maryland, Ohio and
New England states. It is said that
Uiey were strong enough to induce
Temporary Chairman Elihu Root, at. |
the recent Republican convention at
Saratoga to omit any mention of Col
Roosevelts name in his speech, and
that to accomodate the anti-Roose
velt men, he droped a whole para
graph from the speech which he had
prepared.
it is known that at. the time of the
Saratog convention former Senator
Root attempted to lay a foundation
that would permit the former Presi
dent to come back into the Republi
can party without humiliating him
self and he had intended to empha
size the trend of his s peech by coup
ling the name of Col. Roosevelt with
those of other leading Republicans
who had criticized President Wilson.
The paragraph ommited by former
Senator Root from his speech was
one commenting upon the “Democra
tic failure to see that power must
Rand behind the peaceable assertion
of the United States’ rights.” The
omitted passage reads;
“Others saw it and urged it; Mr.
Garduer urged it; Mr. Lodge urged
it; Mr. Stimson urged it; Mr. Roose
velt. urged it; but their arguments
and urgeny were ascribed to piliti
cal motives, and the President de
scribed them with a sneer as being
nervous and excited.”
The anti-Roosevelt men feared the
effect of the mention of Roosevelt’s
name in ttye convention, and, it is
said, prevailed upon Root to drop
the paragraph, an action that has
caused not a little comment.
Those opposed to Mr. Roosevelt’s
having a prominent part in the coun
cils of the Republican party at Chi
cago are attempting to demonstrate
that prominence for him would drive
out of the party more voters than it
would attract .to it.

STEAMER ALASKA
HIVES IN PORI
RETURN FROM WEST TOMORROW
Latest Addition to the Fleet of the
Alaska Steamship Company Is De
clared to be the Finest Vessel In
the Fleet—Captain Ohs Nord In
Command—Salmon Day Observed
on all Company’s Vessels.
The Alaska Steamship Company’s
steamship Alaska, formerly the Kan
sas City, arrived in port about mid
night last night on her maiden trip
under her new name. She left Seat
tle on the first and encountered, a
rather stormy trip all the way up,
having been compelled to tie up sev
eral times because of terrific snow
squalls in the dangerous waters of
the inside passage. She was further
delayed about 40 hours at Cordova
unloading a large amount of freight
for the new canneries to be built
there, and also stopped about six
hours at Ellamar, making her trip
rather longer than the average.
The Alaska has been completely
remodeled at a cost of more than
$125,000, along the lines of the Ala
meda and Mariposa, and is one of the
most commodious and comfortable
3teamers now in the fleet, and well
worthy of the name she bears.
The Officers of the Alaska are Cap
tain Nord, an old and experienced of
ficer in Northern waters, having been
for many years master of the Jeffer
son on the Southeastern Alaska run.
J. A. Rasmussen, the first officer, is
also an experienced navigator of these
waters.
The other officers are Teddy Stew
art and Joe Dodge, pilots; T. W.
'Spencer, chief engineer; W. H. Har
ris, purser, and C. VV. Edgertou,
steward, all of whom are well known
to Alaskans, and are a guarantee of
good service,
vice.
Leaving Seattle, April 20, the Alas
ka will inaugurate the service of the
company to Cook Inlet ports, and fol
lowing that date the service will be
continued by the Alaska, Mariposa
Alameda and Northwestern, with
sailings from Seattle every five days,
on the 5, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and
,!0tli of each month.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
but few of the townspeople were at
the wharf to greet the new steamer on
her arrival. She is expected to re
turn to Valdez somo time tomorrow
afternoon, and it is anticipated she
will be greeted by a large number of
people who are anxious to inspect
this latest addition to the company’s
fleet.

Mrs. Harriet Joseph Burr, who for

tablishment in Valdez, and who is
well known to most of the residents
of Valdez, is the author of the fol
lowing poem, which appeared in a
recent issue of the Portland Orego

ARE YOU READY?
Are you ready, are you ready
Do you hear your nation’s call?
Do you feel you could surrender '
Your country, home and all?
;
Are you ready, are you ready
Whop the bugle sounds the blast?
Do you feel within your bosom
The echoes of the past?
Are "you ready, are you ready
Your fair country to defend?
To join your loyal comrades
And battle to the end?
Are you ready, are you ready
If the call should come today?
If our shores should be invaded
And the enemy come to slay?
Are you ready, are you ready
With your navy, shot .and shell?
To give the foe invading
The answer that will tell?
-“V
Are you ready, are you ready
To keep your flag unflurled?
And help to make this Nation
The most glorious in the world?

8AY8 ROOSEVELT TALK
, 18 SPREADING FAST
> '
COLLIERS’ WEEKLY: The Roose
velt talk is becoming as epidemic as
lufluenza. It. seems to be the taste
for red mea' that follows the long
vegetarian diet. The familiar posture
of the President spitting on his hands
and getting ready to hit out with
another ultimatum has palled. Then,
too, some men on tho Atlantic coast
having trustees over great affairs
have become alarmed. They think
of the long range gun3 of mod
ern warfare and are nervous. Instinc
tively scared men seem to come into
the presence of strong men. They
contemplate Roosevelt as a type.
We seem to be passing through a
phase of dissatisfaction with the Wil
son type. The suggestion by Charles
Summer Bird of the possibility of a
man like Roosevelt for president and
a man like Root for secretary of Btate
has caught the American imagina
tion. It visualizes an Americanism of
big type needed for a grave period
of international crisis.
Whether it will last no one knows,
but it seems to be gaining moment
um. Unlike the Roosevelt movement
of 1912 it did not start in the mid
dle west. It began in the east, among
the anti-Roosevelt men of 1912, and
it is finding quite naturally a cordial
welcome in the western field, which
furnished so many recruits for Arm
ageddon four years.ago.—Henry J.
Allen.
