PATRIOTISM.
T>REATHES there the man with
soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native land!
Whoso heart hath ne’er within him
burned,
Ab home his footsteps he hath
turned
Prom wandering on a foreign
strand ?
If such there breathe, go, mark him
well,
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his
name,
Bbundless his wealth as wish can
claim.
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentered all in self.
Living, shall forfeit fair renown
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he
sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.
—Scott’s “Lay of the Last Min
strel.’*
THE EMPIRE NOT INTERESTED.
An "undisclosed Juneauite" writ
ing in the Valdez Prospector, after
going into circumstantial detail in
alleging "participation of the large
mining companies of this section in
the recent Juneau primary,” says
‘‘the local papers dare not print the
facts.”
The Republican quarrel at Juneau
and apparently elsewhere in Alaska
has developed into a question of
purely "personal politics.” The fight
is solely one for position against the
possibility of Republican success in
the Nation. The only issue is as to
whom will be “in line” should the un
expected happen and President Wil
son be defeated at the next election.
If there is a principle of government
or a question that concerns Alaska
involved, it has not been disclosed up
to this time.
The '‘regulars,” who have excoriat
ed Wickersham duplicity and dema
goguery for years, are now in com
bination with him, and the “undis
closed Juneauite” who is angry be
cause the papers do not make bis
personal fight their fight, is seeking
to break the combination so that he
might make a combination of his
own. Both factions are playing for
place in the “game,”—and the game
is that of old fashioned “personal
politics.”
At this date the situation is one
that does not interest The Empire in
the least, nor is it one that should
appeal to any Alaskan who is not
looking for office, and whose only in
terest in politics is good government
and progressive development.—Ju
neau Empire.
WHAT A RELIEF.
It's a doggone good thing that the
election is over, because most of us
•were on the verge of taking to the
hills, others less strong to undertake
the trip came very near being strick
en with nervous prostration; and still
others whose duty held them fast in
their offices have their heads covered
with bumps from ducking under the
tables or desks at the approach of a
citizen. The last day in particular,
nobody dared to open his mouth for
fear that the other fellow would plug
him, or something. Huh! It was a
hot one.
Now it’s all over and every one we
meet smiles. The victorious because
of their victory, and the losers be
cause they escaped the storm that ap
peared so threatening yesterday. And
all that is left to remind us of the bat
tle are a few bumps on our head—
due to our ducking, which with a lit
tle liniment we hope to forget soon,
and the smiles of those who appear
jed to be frozen during the cyclone,
i However, most of us had had enough.
' thank you. and we promise to be
! good.—Ketchikan Miner.

The Kincaid, Illinois, city council

Carranza's veiled hostility to the

The administration at Washington

Without Wilson’s support Carranza

Mexico. He must undoubtedly be
aware that without the support of the
United States his tenure in office will

DENY GERMAN
ATTACKS WING
DELAY PART GERMAN STRATEGY
Officers Declare Gennans not Fight
ing at Verdun to Revive Spirits of
the People at Home, with Forlorn
Hope of Victory. •
BERLIN. April 13.—Attempts in
other countries to interpret the pauses
in the German operations at Verdun
as indicative of the waning of the of
fensive or the exhaustion of Ihe Ger
man troops denotes a failure to com
prehend the German strategy, is the
tenor of the discussion in military
circles here. Officers say these pauses
are only part of the general scheme
of operations, and are designed to
prepare for the successive stages of
the forward movement.
The method has been to make pre
paration r'or every attack so thor
oughly as to guarantee success with
minimum losses. German command
ers have purposely avoided a simul
taneous attack on the whole at Ver
dun front and have sought local suc
cesses in one section after the other.
Neither do these officers admit the
Germans are fighting to revive the
spirits of the poeple at home, with
only a forlorn hope of victory. It is
said that these operations are intend
ed to lead to the capture of Verdun
and hasten the termination of the
war.
That John W. McGrath, private
Secretary to Roosevelt, possesses
some of the fighting charactestics of
his distinguished boss may be indi
cated by the circumstances that he
was the other day sentenced to 20
days in the Blackwell island jail by a
New York magistrate for fighting in
a saloon. However, the Colonel is
usually more cautious in the selec
tion of a battlefield.
