SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY, AUGUST 28. 1915.
Juneau has very properly passed an ordinance to tax “itinerant” mer
chants and every town in Alaska should follow its example. Why every
city in the territory has not immediately grasped the opportunity to pass
such an ordinance and so protect the regular business people is a mystery,
hut it is a mystery that may be cleared up in our minds by the recollection
that in every municipal council there is probably a member or two who
thinks more about his personal relations with some local business man or men
than about the general good. Really there is no other reason that one can
assign for the delay of all cities in putting an end once and for all to the
rushing in of men who rush out again without paying a cent towards the
communal expenses and after having played the buying public for simpletons.
If the people only took time to remember that “itinerant” podlers cannot
possibly supply the same values for the same money as the permanent dealer
everyone would be on guard. Those people affect the trade of the grocer, the
drygoods man. the cigar dealer, the hardware man and everyone else. It would
be to the best interest of the city, the business man and particularly to the
general public to tax the fly-by-nights. Juneau has shown the way
splendidly.
There was a time when Theodore Roosevelt enjoyed something approach
ing the worship of the people of the United States but it is gradually being
learned that the real man was hidden behind the halo which surrounds the
head of power. Nothing more thoughtless could be imagined than the use
he made of the invitation of General Leonard Wood to address the citizen
soldiers at Plattsburg. Surely a boy in his teens with an ounce of savoir faire
would have known that he must have embarrassed his host by such a speech,
but Roosevelt never seemed to be bothered in the least. Like all men who
are caught in a disagreable position he got mad and answered the rebuke to
Wood by another attack on the administration.
In this respect it may be said that, if the advices received yesterday
regarding the intention of Germany not to endanger any more American
lives, is correct President Wilson once more comes out of the mess gloriously
triumphant. It is the essential motif of ail political opposition to condemn
the acts of those in power and those in opposition are often reckless, but one
might have expected more from a man who had once filled the presidential
chair of the greatest democracy on earth. President Wilson has apparently
gained his end by thoughtful, careful and diplomatic work and his critics
ought ever more to be silent.
•FRISCO WOMAN SHOOTS
SI FT. GEO. GEIGER.
Dispatches from Reno, Nev., tell of
the shooting there on July 28 of Geo.
Geiger, assistant superintendent and
trainmaster of the Southern Pacific
at Sparks. Geiger was formerly sup
erintendent of the Copper River
Northwestern road, with headquart
ers at Cordova.
Geiger was shot four times by Ruth
Reed, a San Francisco woman, at the
Collins ranch four miles west of Reno.
Geiger is at the Reno hospital and is
said to have a fair chance to recover.
The woman has not been apprehend
ed, and Geiger is reticent about giv
ing information that may lead to her
arrest.
They had spent some time at a
roadhouse and left there about one
o’clock to go to Laughton’s. At the
Collins ranch the woman got out of
the machine and disappeared behind
some haystacks. Geiger says he went
to took for her and was confronted
with a revolver from which she fired
four shots. One bullet went through
his hip, another through his shoulder,
one through his right arm and an
other near the nose. Geiger walked
and crawled to the roadhouse and
from there SherilF Ferrell was call
ed. Geiger has been at Sparks
eighteen months. His wife died about
three months ago.
