SEWARD. ALASKA. THl RSDAY. MARCH 9. 1916.
It is hardly a month since some leading publication contained a *tato
ment-by an English publicist of some fame that the German licet would come
out and tackle even vastly superior forces of the allied naval powers. He
.spoke as one who knew the state of mind of the men and leaders of the Ger
man navy and he declared that it was part of that navy’s creed that tnc
fight should take place whether the chances of winning were small or big.
When this is written no confirmation of the statement that the Germans
have sailed out has arrived but anyone can hear and feel that the report of
the fleet’s sailing has touched the imagination of the ordinary person, even
thousands of miles away. No matter what you are you feel that if those
Germans who have started out against almost hopeless odds make one feel
that humanity is not lost yet. It is probable that no one will admire them
more than will the British themselves. But what a fight it will be!
Wo surely have had some beautiful weather here recently. The people
outside cannot know how soft and balmy it has been. To tell them the truth
and the whole truth and nothing but the truth is not necessary. And all
this time we have been hearing that other towns along the coast have been
experiencing cold and win«is. But there should bo no exultation o\er the
fact that, whatever we are getting, someone else is getting worse.
Going back again to the article in Colliers about Secretary Lane by Will
Irwin it is interesting to note that Mr. Irwin says that the Alaska Railroad
may be Mr. Lane's monument, Mr. Irwin is a friend of the Secretary of a
score of years standing and probably knows his views more intimately than
any other person. When he says that on the Alaska Railroad the question of
government ownership of railroads may prove its quality', and that it may*
be the monument of the secretary of the interior, he shows the vast import
ance which the railroad occupies in the mind of Washington.

ALBANY, March 1.—Legislative
lobbyists, representing the prohibi
tionists and the anti-prohibition‘sts,
are at it here today. The measure,
providing for state prohibition and
of contention. The antis declare the
passage of the bill would lose the |
state nearly $20,000,000 in annual
revenue from excise taxes. The pros
reply that its passage would save the
state far more than $20,000,000 in an
nual expenditures for prisons, aim
houses and insane asylums.
