Seward, Alaska, Friday, August 4, 191G. .
No doubt, as this war continues both sides will be
come more and more brutal. We shall continue to hear of
increased numbers of “cold killings." There is nothing to
brutalize humanity so much as a continued hate unless it
is fear. We have all possibly complacently come to be
lieve that we had reached so high a state of civilization
that a return to the darkness of the middle ages was un
thinkable, but gradually it must be dawning on the human
mind that the instincts of the brute or the savage are only
lying latent—'hot dead—lying only in a light sleep from
which they are ready to be aroused at any moment by a
call to the animal in us.
We, human beings are animals, thinking animals, of
00111*80, but our very rationality makes our animalism
more cruel, gives it the refinement of brutality, so that the
very power to think, instead of raising us above the brutes
aFall times, sometimes enables us to prove our superiority
over the brute creation at the brute’s own game. Maybe
this world, because of this war, is not about to return to
savagery, but the indications now are enough to make
humanity tremble for its future.
The death of John W. Corson removes a man who was
very prominent in Alaska life. He ran for congress in
1908 from the territory and his chief opponents were Dele
gate Wickersham and Jack Ronan. There was also a Soci
alist candidate. Mr. Corson was probably the most fluent
speaker in the territory, if ever a man had a real gift of
eloquence it was he, and with the gift he had extaordinary
intelligence. The opposition to him was strong and he was
a man who usually created strong opposition but Mr. Cor
son had never denied to him by his opponents the posses
sion of those gifts. It is always a pity to see those old
timers dropping off, and particularly the ones whose
names have always been before the public.

_COTTER’S_
1 law just signed by Pres. Wilson, the
authors declare.
Instead they expect the system es
tablished, that of contributing feder
al aid to the states for the construc
tion of good roads, will be so free
from criticism and so helpful in build
ing up a system of international im
provements, that Congress will bo
willing after the $75,000,000 is spent, I
to vote new appropriations.
Good roads advocates say the new
Jaw is epochmaking. It is intended,
together with the rural credit system,
to improve the conditions of country ;
life and to stop the flow of popula-!
tion from the country to the city.
Good roads, with the automobile, will
destroy the lonely existence of the
farmer. Opportunities of association ;
with neighbors, it is believed, v will j
make the country boy more willing to:
stay on the farm.
If the automobile owners think the
Shackleford law is intended solely for
them, they are badly fooled. So says
Representative Saunders of Virginia,
one of the authors.
“There will be a howl going up to,
heaven if the Department of Agricul
ture picks for improvement only such
main roads as the automobile owners
prefer,” said Saunders today. He is
an automobile o*.ner himself. “We
want the backroads improved for the
mun who now is hemmed in all sides
in winter by impassable roads.”
The appropriations, under the
provision of the law, will be paid to
the state in five installments—$5,000,-1
000 the first year, $10,000,000 the
second year, $15,000,000 the third
year, $20,000,000 the fourth year, and
$25,000,000 the fifth year.
The money will be divided among
the states, one third in the ratio of
the area, one third on the basis of
population and one third on the basis
of the number of miles of rural de
livery routes.
^ , • r
Payment ror me consmucuon ui
roads will be on a fifty-fifty basis. If;
the state agrees to provide half the
cost, the federal government will j
furnish the rest. Hoad projects must,
be approved by the Department of
Agriculture and the law is entirely
silent on the nature of the improve
ment, whether it is a brick, macadam,
or common dirt roads. These details
are left entirely to the state.
“If this law fails to work, respon
sibility will rest on the Department
of Agriculture, for it is vested with
all power,” said Saunders. “Congress !
leaves hands off, and there will be
no opportunity to say that Congress
has played politics.”
