SEWARI), ALASKA, FRIDAY. JANUARY 2(», 1917.
TIME FOR CAUTION
With statesmen in Canada and England telling us
that our chief executive has opened his mouth and put
his foot in it, we seem to be nearing one of the “entangling
alliances’* which George, the first chief, warned us to
avoid.
How the president can expect to continue his peace
propoganda in the face of the charge by the allies that he
is playing into the hands of Emperoi William is not ap
parent, unless, as we have already mentioned, he lias an
ace up his sleave.
To bring about peace is a laudable endeavor but to do
it in such a manner or at such a time that either side in the
present world war would merely start in getting ready to
light again would l>e wrong.
Germany has evidently come to the conclusion that
she cannot bring the war to a definite end and that more
lighting is useless, although she is convinced that she can
tight on for years.
The Allies on the other hand are convinced that Ger
many can be smashed within a short time and they pro
pose to do it for fear of future strife.
One rift in the cloud comes from the labor confer
ence at Manchester, England, which endorses Wilson's
“world peace plan” and asks British representatives to
aid. This indicates that the workers see the futility of
this war. but enlistments continue and until the opposition
to fighting on is far stronger than at present peace seems
out of the question.
World peace plans are tine but we should be careful
about how we try to force them on Europe until after
this war is over.
A SAMPLE OF CRASS IGNORANCE
A better sample of crass ignorance would be hard to
find than the one which appears below. A New York firm
sent a box of seeds to one of the local merchants, explain
ing the early shipment thus:
Gentlemen:—
Your letter of September 11th received re
garding the box of seeds which we shipped you
to sell on commission the coming season.
We have to send out seeds the latter part of
August so that you will have them in time for
next Spring's sales as navigation closes about the
first of September and does not open again until
the next June. We trust you will keep the seeds
on sale and sell as many as you can of them next
Spring and at the close of the season, which will
be July first, we will send you statement blanks
for settlement of same.
Doesn’t that jar you? No wonder that the transpor
tation companies are exerting themselves to bring tour
ists to Alaska and let them know their country before
they visit foreign countries.
If we were to institute an inquiry, the chances are
that we would find that this same “Down East” merchant
is now preparing to take a trip “abroad” next summer to
take the rust off of him and get a little education, when
as a matter of fact he knows nothing of the country he
lives in. That man must think that Alaska is a mush
room; that Ketchikan is Fairbanks; when the truth is that
Ketchikan is no nearer to Fairbanks than Chicago is to
San Francisco, with as much difference in the climate if
not more. Obviously, Eastern States should have night
school for the merchants with Alaska as educators and a
law compelling them to attend. They are so doggone
rusty that we are ashamed of them. — (Ketchikan Pro
gressive-Miner.)
