SEW ARIA ALASKA. FRIDAY. APRIL 21, 1016.
Too many people think that when a political party is being wrongly
conducted it should be abandoned. When the leaders of any faction of any
party get a hold of the reins and when the minority is made to feel the
weight of the majority that minority is only weakly following the course of
least resistance when it quits the party instead of staying in and reotitying
its wrongs. The men who leave parties because they are in a minority only
admit their own inferiority and the superiority of the majoritj.
It is rental kable how mistakes can be made in listening to even an ordin
ary statement. In the report o the convention yesterday a t ordova delegate,
Mr. Hazelet, was quoted as saying **I don't agree with you” in connection
with the statement of Mr. Shackleford that the Sullivans and the Finnegans
were as good as the Ritchies and the Hazeled. Mr. Hazelet says his words
were; **i agree with \ou,’ and of course he knows what he wanted to >a\,
but it is worthy of note that three people in the same bunch said they under
stood him to say one thing ami the other three understood him to say the other
thing. Afterwards one of Mr. Hazelet** own colleagues who sat near hint
was asked which was the statement and he agreed with the paper. This is
all spoken of here to illustrate the ease with which so-called mistakes are
made in newspapers. Some time ago in Harvard the professor of psychology
was lecturing when two men suddenly fell on to the floor fighting like dogs.
After separating them with difficulty the professor, apparently with a sud
den inspiration, asked the students to describe how the tiling had happened
and they did. but no two of the descriptions were alike. The fight was faked
by the professor, of course.
Mr. Hazelet, of course, knows what he said but the extraordinary
psychological fact is that so many people are evenly divided in their inter
pretation of it.
This is not said at all for the purpose of correcting an error and let no
one get the idea that anyone has as ed acorrection. It just occurred to th*'
mind as the time came for filling this column that the incident serves as a
remarkable illustration of a fact which is or y too well known to men who
follow the newspaper calling, but so little known to outsiders.
ALLIES TO PAY AMERICAN
BONDHOLDERS MANY MILLIONS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
NEW YORK, April 15.—Twelve
million, five hundred thousand Ameri
can dollars* interest will be paul to
American investors by the French
and English governments through J.
P. Morgan & Co., here today for the
first 6 months' use of the Half Bil
lion Dollar Anglo-French Loan re
recent ly negotiated.
This payment today is but a small
part of the cash interest England and
1 nuuv will pour into American
pockets during the next five years.
Every six months they will pay, just
in interest, $12,500*000, or $125,000,
000 for the live years* which is more
than one-tenth of a billion dollars’
they will have given Americans for
the use of their money in fighting
the Teutons.
The interest that these two govern
ments must pay for the use of Ameri
can money with which to continue
their war is enough to supply each
one of 2,500 person an independent
fortune.
BATHED MEXICO IN TEARS
WHEN POOR “PAT” DIED
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
FIELD HEADQUARTERS, U. S.
FORCES, NEAR DUBLIN, Mexico,
April 15.—When the long pull of the
Villa chase through this Mexican
waste caused “Patrick The 1‘Vthful”
to drop in his tracks and die, “Dutch”
Rollof, a lad from Detroit, sat up on
the high seat of his rumbling trans
port wagon and cried, unashamed, be
fore the other soldiers marching by.
“Pat” was “Dutch's” best friend
and “Dutch” was “Pat’s”, even if
“Pat” was nothing but a worn out
old army mule. “Dutch” almost cried
some more when he talked about
| “Pat” again today.
“The old boy died like the veteran
he was,” said “Dutch”. “Sixteen
years ago he enlisted. He went
through the Spanish war and the
! Sapish war and the Cuban campaign |
without missing a step, haulinj his
baggage and bolting his feed as calm
as you please. ‘Pat’ was no fool. He j
was a scholar and a gentleman and !
we all loved his tough old hide. It’s
a d- shame the old boy had to
make such a record and then die in
Mexico.” “Pat” lies buried beneath
the sand and sagebrush in a grave
with a marker bearing his name.

PRISON LIFE TURNS

FT. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Apfil
21.—Former Mayor Donn M. Roberts,
Judge Eli Keddin, Board of Public

others of the Terre Haute politicians j
who were convicted in the notorious! j
Terre Haute election fraud cases and j
came here with their hair untinged j

It was learned today that all the
men named are rapidly “getting

of them expect to re-enter the game
when they get out.
