SEWARD, ALASKA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13,1910.
It is a funny thing, but the European war will prob
ably exercise a greater influence on the result of the
presidential election next month than any other one cir
cumstance. It is one of those questions which entail a far
deeper feeling than any question of tariff, protectivism or
similar ones. It touches sentiment and sentiment still
rules the world. And even in spite of the tendency to
wards universal brotherhood, socialism and the like the
sentiment of patriotism is still as strong as ever. Recent
events in Europe, even in the most socialistic circles, have
proved this to the full, and in the United States the many
foreign citizens have brought their love for the father
lands with them. There is no use in trying to deny this.
Even when a man is absolutely loyal to the United States
after adopting it his loyalty can be colored by the politi
cal relation of the United States to the land of his birth,
or even of his parents’ birth. Without the shadow of a
doubt there are hundreds of thousands of people in this
country whose chief political aim is to have the United
States and Great Britain combine. They are inclined to
think that any American who is opposed to such a plan is
not a loyal American. On the other hand the Germans of
the United States would regard any step in the direction
of Britain as a betraval of themselves. Both sides will be
%
governed in the election next month to a great extent by
these views.
Many people seem to think that American citizens
should not project into home politics questions that ap
pear foreign, but every country in the world does so. The
pro-Allies are not making the allied cause an American
question and the pro-Germans are not making the cause
of the Central Powers a question for the United States,
but both sides are making tile relations between the
United States and one or other of the belligerent Euro
l>ean alliances an issue in home politics, and this is entire
ly a different matter. Greece is now burst asunder
by a similar question. No doubt, the people of Scandin
avia, Holland and Spain are similarly divided and we know
that the people of Switzerland certainly are, and still each
side in each of those countries is perfectly loyal to their
own land.
By his refusal to speak of his opinion on the pro-Ger
man vote Hughes is clearly desirous pf not alienating the
big support he will probably get from that side. His sil
ence shows that he realizes what strength it might bring
him and what strentgh it might lose for him by alienat
ing the voters who are pro-Ally. But, right or wrong, the
European war has come home to us.
In speaking of this it might be noted, parenthetically,
that Alaska is remarkably free from antagonisms on this
question, and we should be thankful for it.

ALEXANDER TELLS OE
THE BIG SHIP MERGER
The following statement was re
cently given out in Tacoma by Presi
dent Alexander in connection with
the steamship merger:
“The Pacific Steamship Company
has been formed by the Pacific Coast
Company and the Pacific Alaska Navi
gation Company to operate along the
entire Pacific Coast, including Alaska,
with the further purpose of extending
its service in other directions, and has
made arrangements to operate all of
the vessels of the Pacific Coast Com
pany and the Pacific Alaska Naviga
tion Company.
“In view of the great scarcity of
vessels on .the Pacific Coast, due to
the greater demand for them in other

Coast, the Pacific Coast Company and
the Pacific Alaska Navigation Com
pany, after carefully considering the
I situation, have decided that they can
best serve the interests of the public
with more frequent sailings by op
erating the two fleets under a man
, agement that will eliminate the dis
advantages to the traveling and ship
ping public which necessarily attend
the operation of the two fleets separ
ately.
“In other words, duplicate sailings
will be avoided and more frequent
sailings can be maintained on the
various routes, thus giving a better
and more satisfactory service along
the entire coast with the same number
' of vessels.
“The Pacific Coast trade has in
creased very materially on the Cali
fornia, Puget Sound and Alaskan
routes, and, under the separate man
agements, available vessels have not
been sufficient to properly take care
of the increasing trade.
“Under the management of the
Pacific Steamship Company, operat
ing all of the vessels, the schedule and i
sailings of the vessels will be so ar
ranged as to more adequately take
care of this growing business, in the
interest of the public, anil to provide
better and more frequent service
along the entire coast.
“Some solution of this problem was
imperative, and neither company alone
was able to solve it.
“The plan adopted is believed to be
a happy solution of a most difficult |
practical problem.” I

Homestead.
I

Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
