GOD AND THE KAISER
It appears that the kaiser’s sense of relationship, or
lather partnership, with the Almighty, has recently under
gone a change. I'ntil he undertook a conquest of the
world, the kaiser held himself to he the greater of the two.
His notion of his own importance in the universe inspired
Captain Coghlan. of the United States navy, twenty years
ago. to write the rhymed satire. “Hoch der Kaiser.” The
spontaneous verses, served as a spice, tor a convival dinner
gathering, found their way to the farthest corners of the
earth, and w Idle intelligent people smiled over them, they
read between the lines the kaiser’s obsession—that lus
power was at Hast equal with God’s, and they feared the
time would come when he would try to exert that power.
Now the kaiser modestly takes second place, and
throws the responsibility for the world war upon God;
the kaiser is simply doing God’s will on earth. On this
point, he expresses himself clearly in a message to the up
per house of the Prussian diet, which sent him a birthday
greeting recently. Said the German emperor:
The intimate union of the crown and the people,
which I received as a sacred heritage from my father
dates from the hard times which Prussia was trained
for its world-historic mission,
Mav these hard vears of streuousness, which I
• *
feel more deeply in consequence of the responsibility
placed upon me by God strengthen and deepen this
intimate relationship so that it may stand the test in
the battles which still lie before us in the great tasks
which after a victorious peace we shall have to fulfill in
an altered world.
It will be an altered world. Before the war is over
there mav be enough left of the old civilization to enable
the survivors to undertake the work of rehabilitation,
but if the war shall continue until the nations engaged in
it are exhausted and the accomplishments of 2000 years
I
destroyed, then civilization must take a fresh start. It
will be an altered world. If Germany wins, the world will:
he in slavery to a supremely cruel military autocracy, un
tndurable to people who have breathed political freedom.
If America wins, the world will be safe for democracy.
P will be an altered world, but God did not place the re-!
sponsibility for altering it upon Emperor William II. The
Kaiser is a self-created god, a piti'ess god of war who has
determined that millions of human lives must be sacri
ficed to gratify his ambition. He is a false god whose
power America must destroy. Otherwise the altered
world will not be a fit abiding place for free peoples.

City Clerk Poehlman reported last night that only |
seventy-five in Seward have registered for the city elec-1
tion which is hardly a month away. Incidentally there!
have been no filings of candidates. Apathy, apathy, isl
perhaps the only word to suit the present case. Somebody;
file for an office, no matter whether for mayor, city coun- ■
cil, city attorney, city clerk or for member of the
school board. Just file, then the interest will start and
the registration will be brisk. Register and file—now.
The validity of the workmen’s compensation act in
Alaska has been upheld by a decision handed down by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals. No decision
handed down in several months has had the interest at
tached to it which this opinion holds for many in this sec-:
tion of Alaska. The act has been invoked in a number of
cases held in this division.

A writer has asked why the Editor of the Gateway is
' so strongly opposed to the eight hour law. The Editor is
j opposed to the eight hour law in its present form, it’s un
constitutional stand of not permitting over time work.!
The Editor is opposed to it for the hardships it will work
i upon hundreds in this land of seasons by not permitting
| more than eight hours work.
The report Treasurer Romig made at the city council
last night should make all citizens shake hands with them- j
selves—the city is out of debt. Furthermore there is i
| enough in the treasury and yet to come in to probably pay
, all bills during the present council’s hold of office and
: leave a balance for the new council. And at that the pres
i tnt councilmen shouldered a debt of $3700.

Two weeks from yesterday all German aliens in Alas

their documents from Postmaster Root and be prepared
to register when the week of the eighteenth rolls around.
