SEWARD. ALASKA. THURSDAY. DEC. 21, 191(*.
By his action yesterday in appealing to all the belli
gerent nations to discuss peace terms President \\ ilson
niav go down in history as one of the brightest of its
figures.
On tlio contrary, lie may arouse the hatred of those
who do not want peace. Hut he has taken a great chance.
It is worth the gamble, and. at least, he has every principle
of Morals and Right on his side. Who knows that some
day. if not now. the germs of the world’s peace may not
lie created under the Stars and Stripes? Just imagine
the thrilling splendor of Young Columbia as she stands
apart and raises her arm to stay the murderous hands of
bleeding Kurope! What a figure it is!
The Mexican question is more irritating than a real
war. It must look so much to Uncle Sam as an attack bv
a woman. He cannot very well strike back. And if he
docs, the whole family is sure to “jump" him.
This is the day we have been looking forward to with
pleasurable anticipation for some time—pleasurable be
cause we wanted to get rid of it. This is the Pariah of the
days, the Nadir of the year, the day we hate. Tomorrow
we shall be on the road to the long days once more. Mush
on.
A Valdez doctor is quoted by the paper over there as
saying kissing and spitting are the two chief means of
spreading influenza. This might serve as a warning to
Seward people also. Spitting is a nasty habit anyhow.
Revised returns from all the divisions in the terri
tory on December Id showed Sulzer still leading by 25
votes. These revised returns include the official returns
from this division secured by the clerk of court. Accord
ing to these official figures Sulzer polled lbSl votes in this
division and Wickersham polled 1964.
Traveling men from Seattle now tell some peculiar
stories of the effect of the dry law in that city. Some fel
lows get prescriptions on bottles of whiskey which read
"Take a few tablespoonfuls every few minutes until you
feel better."
