SEWAD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE % 1915,
The world was made happy yesterday when it learned that the king of
Italy had a narrow escape from a shell. The idea of the gallant “monarch”
going into the trenches to inspire “his” troops makes the blood thrill, maybe.
King Emmanuel is a monarch of about four feet some inches in height. He
is probably less of a hero than the poorest little working woman in the slums
of Rome.
The press agents of the royal families of Europe have been getting in
some fine work since the war started. One after the other th„* kings have
been umler fire or narrowly escaping shells if you could only believe the
stutT sent out to the newspapers of the world. One time the kaiser just left
a spot before a shell e> ploded, then comes another shell into the vicinity of
the Grand Duke Somehtingoranotherisky, the Prince of Wales has a photo
graph sent broadcast of himself with Khaki uniform, the Belgian king’s son<
is reported to have joined the arm.\ as a private anil other Caesars got simi
lar advertising in various ways.
It must be said of the British that this sort of thing is getting old with
them. They really maintain the monarchial form of government now as they
would maintain a park or a museum. In the beginning of the war some of
the London papers actually came out openly with the advice that King George
and his son go to the front for the sake of the moral effect on Tommy
Atkins, or. rather, for the sake of the effect which such an action might have
on the minds of the people with relation to the royal family. The British
even tired a duke from the navy department and the chances are good that
if success does not come quickly many others may have to quit. Gradually
the English speaking people are coming to see inside the tommyrot of royalty.
It is in many ways just as good a form of government as some republics and
better even but the time is passing when the gilding of royalty can hide the
poor human tlesh within. Press agents may continue to make narrow escapes
for their “majesties’* and show them to the world as heroes but the world no
longer accepts it a 11. The tierce light that beats about a throne becomes
more merciless as education sharpens the sight to pierce it and analyze the
throne itself. While a limited form of such government has many advantage®
and many pleasing characteristics this education is slowly but surely showing
human beings that all other human beings are only human beings. It is ex
traordinary how long the other idea prevailed. Indeed, there is nothing more
wonderful in the world than the fact that tlesh and blood has worshipped
other flesh and blood and believed it superior because it was so taught.
JUNEAU, June 1.—By the count ballots cast for wet, and 004 for dry,
of sworn-in votes on the liquor ques- with a sworn-in vote of o64.
tion, conducted by Judge Robert W. Before the counting was begun to
Jennings this afternoon, the total vote day Judge Jennings called for protest
of the “Wets" numbers 1238, as op- against counting these votes, or for
posed to a total dry vote of 404. On challenge of any particular vote. No
the day of the election there were 074 objection was registered. The sworn
in vote shows 264 wet and 100 dry.
These figures added to the ballots
counted regularly on election day show
the above totals and give the wets a
majority over all of 65 votes.
Judge Jennings did not consider the
letters giving consent to the issuance
of licenses, said to number 198, be
cause the wets had a clear majority
without taking these letters into ac
count.
