SEWARD. ALASKA. FRIDAY. MAY 14, 1015.
Over in Europe now they are probably reading every da> that the I'nited i
States is about to declare war just as we have been reading ad nauseam about
Italy. Koumania. Greece and the rest. Who knows that the Roman papers are
not at this moment setting up type that tells how the reserves are now being
railed out from the remotest corners, including Alaska. It would he no more
ridiculous than the sort of news coining from the countries mentioned above.
One day Koumania was calling out every man of military age and the next
day German and Vustrian residents were fleeing front Italy and Greece.
There has been some tine press work done in this European mix-up. The
warring nations of Euroi>e have, indeed, paid what is probably the greatest
compliment to the press on record. I hev have used it to fool the world and
have very often succeeded.
The reason why Wilson works for peace and Roosevelt does not is that
Wilson is in power and Roosevelt is a private citizen. If their positions were
reversed their views also might be reversed.
When America was tirM discovered many wise ones, no doubt, warned
people from stampeding there. I nless some people see the pavements of
gold and the land flowing with milk and honey they will always be pessimists.
Why should Maska not be able to support people as well as New England?
Alfred Vanderbilt, Elbert Hubbard, C harles Erohman and Charles Klein
have almost surely been lost on the Lusitania. This makes the loss of the
vessel all the greater national calamity. The other twelve hundred and forty
six could have sunk without a murmur from any of us but the deaths of those
wealthy and famous ones makes the catastrophe bitter to the souls of us
who were so intimately acquainted with them—through the newspapers.
Wealth may not be able to follow a man to the grave but snobbery does.
The Russians admit that they are retiring again to take up a stronger
position. The contour of the country probably makes a stronger position im
possible closer to Berlin or Vienna.
The Dardanelles is the ancient Hellespont. It is hard to see what the
use of the “espont" part of the word might be. The rest is plain.
The idea of reaching Vnchorage via Portage bay is a bright one. A
better one might be to go to St. Michael, up the Yukon and Tanana and wait
lor the first train out. I,

Haywood says he favors revolution to smash the present political and j
industrial system, but even the revolution would have to have bosses.
A peace congress is sitting in the fnited tates and another at the Hague.
There is hardlv room for one anywhere else.
ALASKA LEGISLATURE
THVNKS THE PRESIDENT.
J U \ K A t’.—The fo! low i ng by
Moran was unanimously passed by
the Senate and House:
Whereas, Alaska is entering upon
a period of greater prosperity due to
its natural resources being now gen
erally known by the people through
out the United States, and by the in
terest taken in the development of the
territory by the president of the t
United States, Woodrow Wilson, and
the secretary of the interior, Franklin
K. Lane, and the other members of
the president’s cabinet.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
House of Representatives of the Ter
ritory of Alaska, the Senate concur
ring. that for and in behalf of the
people of Alaska, we do most heartily
congratulate the president and
congress of the United States and
tender them our sincere thanks for
their great efforts in behalf of our
territory. j
On the Alameda when she arrived
in port this morning were six young
men who had bought tickets to Sew
ard, with privilege of stop-over at
that place. While in Juneau they met
Governor J. F. A Strong, who advised
: them strongly against going to Se
ward with the expectation of obtain
ing any kind of employment. They
evidently took heed of his advice, for
when they reached Skagway this
morning they surrendered their stop
over tickets at the local office of the
Alaska Steamship Co., and will head
for the interior tomorrow via White
horse and Dawson to Fairbanks.—
