A MENACE TO OTHERS.
The news story in today’s is
sue that some person or persons
had entered the government re
lief cabin on the Delladivide and
had wasted a considerable quan
tity of grain left there for emer
gency purposes, will create a
feeling of resentment among all
Alaskans, and particularly so
among those whose business or
duties cause them to make long
winter trips.
The relief cabins of the gov
ernment, stretching as they do,
over the hills and valleys follow
ed by the telegraph line between
Valdez and St. Michael, have pro
vided shelter for many weary
travelers who might otherwise
have perished. These cabins were
built for that express purpose
and are located in places where
no human ‘being would under
take to reside permanently and
maintain a place of shelter.
The vandals who destroyed the
horse feed and chopped up the
cabin for firewood on the Delta
divide should be severely punish-^
ed if they can be identified. They
should be made an example for
others who may follow after
them, and it is to the interest of
every traveler in Alaska that their
identity should be disclosed. Men
of their calibre would not hesitate
to rob a cashe which might cause
the owner, who had relied upon
it, to starve to death.
The -supplies are owned by I he
government and for the purpose
of enabling ils employes lo ac
complish work during the win
ter which could not be accom
plished without the reserves kept
at the stations, but no objection
has ever been made when citizens
have found it necessary to make
use of tin cabins to keep them
selves from freezing and their
stock from starving. All that
was required was a siniple ex
planation of the circumstances
and that the use of the grain was
necessary, as is the case between
private citizens, when they make
use of each other’s property. The
wanton wasting of the grain and
tile destruction of tin cabin is a
serious matter and deserves the
strongest condemnation.
PENROSE’S “COPPERHEAD”
TACTICS.
The .men who wore haled, ami
juslly so. above all others in the
days nl' the Civil war, were the
northern “copperheads,” the men
who. withmil courage enough to
go In the front for cither side,
remained at home and spent their
lime abusing the Administration
of President Lincoln and lending
moral encouragement to the Con
federates. Apparently there are
still men nf tile "copperhead”
type in the country. Boies Pen
rose, United States senator from
Pennsylvania, heads the list. His
resolution offered in the Senate,
calling for an appropriation of
$25,001),000 to pay the cost of
.sending troops to do police duly,
in Mexico, is proof of ihe depths
to which a professional—and dis
credited—politician will go.
The unpatriotic attitude of
Boies Penrose is made the more
contemptible liy Huerta’s declar
ation that he had been informed
hy private advices from Wash
ington that President Wilson’s
policy,“in refusing to redogntae
Huerta, did not represent the real
sentiment of the American peo
ple. Only two reasons can be
assigned for Penrose’s conduct.
He is an unrefined product of the
old Quay school of politicians
and he may be trying to manu
facture political capital only.
Pennsylvanians have large in
vestments in oil, timber and
mines ill Mexico and it may be
that he is serving -those inter
ests, just as ha served the Stand
ard Oil company during all his
official term. The American cap
italists who have investments in
Mexico want the United States to
take charge there and when they
.pull the strings their puppet,
Penrose, always dances.
It is refreshing and encourag
ing to find the political opponents
of President Wilson in the Sen
ate, including Senators Nelson,
Lodge, Gallinger, Smoot and oth
er “Old Guard ’ Republicans
practically rebuking Penrose by
joining the Democrats in an an
nouncement to the world that
President Wilson has the full
support of the American people
in his efforts to bring about a
peaceful solution of tin1 Mexican
problem.
Penrose also follows the ex
ample of the person who repeats
a scandal but declares that he
does not believe it himself. He
insists that he does not want in
tervention and does not want to
do anything to embarrass the
president and then promptly
urges a resolution which means
intervention and inevitable war
and insists that lie is very anx
ious lo do nothing that would
embarrass the administration.
All honest American citizens
desire to avoid war with Mexico.
They are anxious that President
Wjilson be unhampered in his
plans for an amicable adjustment
and disposition of the situation.
This is part of patriotism, but
with it there is a time of regret
that the nation, in its thankful
ness over the conclusion of the
Civil war, has never passed a law
for tin1 punishment of “copper
heads,” thus leaving the way op
en for Boies Penrose to go un
whipped for his crime.—Tacoma
