span VKD. ALASKA, rt ESDAY, APRIL 6, 1015.
The seven men elected to run the affairs of the city for the coming
twelvemonth will undoubtedly be good men and honorable ones. From the
list of candidates it v%ould.he hard to pick out anyone who is not deserving.
\\ hy they should decide to run at all is a question that is hard to answer
unlevs the answer is that someone must do the city’s work. 1 here are no
emoluments and the honor is purely a local one. The chief honor to be confer
red is the selection of the mayor who will have to represent the city during a
very important period in Seward’s history. It has been customary in some
Alaskan towns to choose as mayor the man who heads the poll but there is
absolutely nothing binding in such a precedent. In fact no such precedent
can be said to exist. Seward will need as a mayor a bright man this year.
He will have to represent the city to countless numbers of new comers, to
government officials and he will be required to direct municipal affairs to a
very important extent. It will be much easier for the voters of the city to
select a council than it will he for the council to select a fit and proper per
son to fill the mayoral chair.
The place to treat the Alaska insane is Alaska. The legislature has
taken up the matter and some of the member* have said some very hard
things about the asylum at Morningside. So hard were some of those state
ments that it is difficult to heliev*. them. Representative Driscoll said that he
saw one man from Nome who showed signs of having been beaten by a club.
It these facts are exaggerated so much the worse for the movement to get the
Alaskan insane treated in Alaska, but whether they are true or not it is
<ertain that the territory should have its own asylum.
It is only fair to say that the authorities of the Morningside asylum
have denied the stories of cruelty etc. told about them and one is inclined to
think that the government would hardly have placed insane people in the
charge of brutal people. But. again, there is no good reason apparent why
Alaska should not have its own asylum for its own unfortunates.
At last, thank heaven, we have found a white hope. The Caucasian race
has been confirmed in its supremacy. Thanks to the gods.
But why do we give so much thought to white and blacks in this country
as to wish for the victory of a white man in the most animalistic trial con
ceivable? Dot's the universal satisfaction of the whites suggest in the
smallest way that subconsciously we see in the destiny of the colored races
something that threatens our material superiority? If the blacks were
so weak as to he safely contemned we should never glory in victory over
them. The strong never feel that victory over the weak is something to
boast about.
The longer the European war continues and the more numerous become
the new developments the more must all of us be forced to believe that the
powers have startl'd a blaze that threatens to get beyond their control. At
a distance, hut none the less surely, we are the privileged observers of the
greatest and the most awful event in the history of mankind, speaking in
a worldly sense. The word slaughter has lost its meaning. The word battle
looks weak. The events chronicled about the great war. indeed, are beyond
our limited human conception. We cannot grasp them.
