PROVIDE FOR THE FLEET
Concerted efforts should be made at this time toj
1 ring to the attention of the navy department the neces
sity of immediate work on naval coal bunkers here, to the
enil that a place at which fuel may be obtained will be
available by the time the line from Seward to the coal
fields is complete. No one can foretell what emergency
mav arise and coal for the fleet here may at any time be
%
come a most vital factor.
There are several ways of calling this to the attention
,.f the proper officials, and in view of tremendous mili
tarv and naval activitv in other lines, only the most cun-i
* *
distent efforts will produce results.
1'nder normal conditions men would probably be on
the ground already, looking afterthe preliminaries, but
these are not normal times and we must meet the condi
t ions.
SAFEGUARDING OUR HEALTH
Request by the local marine surgeon that Seward pro
vide quarters in which victims of contagious diseases
landed here from steamers can be cared for, calls to atten
tion the fact that Alaska of itself is about the healthiest
part of the continent.
Unfortunately we cannot pick out the good effects
attending an influx of people and increased development.)
but must take the evils along with the rest.
This being true it might not be amiss to apply more
strict regulations to safeguard the health of Alaskans.
The least that Seward can do is to provide a place of de
tention for those actually ill with a contagious ailment'
w hen thev arrive.
SIX TO ONE AGAINST GERMANS
More than half the human race is now engaged in
war against the Germans.
The man strength of the Teutonic forces is outnum
bered six to one bv their foes. i
V
Omit all of India, and the allies, backed by the United
States, still have four times the population to draw upon;
than stands behinds.the kaiser.
Subtract all the wealth of all the German fund from!
the wealth of the United States and there still remains
more than $50,000,000,000.
American farms grow more than all the farms of i
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria combined.
The United States alone can make more steel than the!
v hole Germanic league.
Our mines yield ten times as much gold, far more sil-i
ver, twice as much lead and many times as much copper
as the entire group of central powers.
Germany’s national debt is now nearing $200 per cap
ita. Ours is only $10.
To pay a year’s interest on his share of his nation’s
debt costs a German thirty times as much as it costs an
American.
William Hohenzollern can no more whip a united
world than Napoleon Bonaparte could defeat a united
Europe and it required the latter only 100 days to throw
a bridge from Elba to St Helena.—(Philadelphia Ledger.)
HAVE A CARE, BENEDICTS
The “Domesticity Expert” of the Douglas Island
News, in discussing the divorce evil, assures us that men
are chiefly responsible for domestic troubles: due largely
to their desire to remain single after they are married,
i hat is, they wish to continue the same free and easy cus
toms that characterized them before they were lassoed.
This simply can't be done. When a man marries, he might
just as well don the resigned look that goes with his posi
tion in life, and adjust his neck to the family yoke. The
wearing of that yoke will be pleasant or interspersed here
and there with wind galls: but, in either case, if he is go
ing to stay out of the divorce courts he’ll wear that yoke.
Some deviltry is permissible, according to the quoted
authority, as a woman really enjoys catching her husband
in a lie occasionally, but it is bad policy to lay oneself out
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SCALES.
— Bronstrup in San Francisco Chroniclo
to become a specialist in that line, as the lady will catch one
often enough without special effort on his part.
the father of the thought
“There are thousands of editors who desire to live on
a farm; there are hundreds of editors who are fit for noth
ing else but farmers, and the world would be better off if
they would go to farming.”—(Valdez Prospector.)
As we analyze the foregoing gem of thought it in
volves the three principal elements of desire, fitness and
the public welfare, from which we infer The Prospector
will cease to regale us with its marvelous outbursts of
originality when its present editor develops an affection
for agriculture.
The man who has a boat and a clam bed these days
of high prices is rich beyond the wildest dreams of avar
ice.—(Valdez Prospector.)
