CHANCE FOR BIG NEWS
News of a German Commerce raider in the Northern
Pacific is 1‘rought with considerable interest to Alaska,
for the steamer lanes between the Pacific coast and Ori
ental ports are less than bOO miles off this coast.
If the raider proves a reality and gets into action it
will not be surprising some bright morning to see a
strange steamer putting into port with survivors from
the Canadian Pacific, Blue Funnel. Japanese and Russian
steamers which mav fall victim to the destrover.
Reports of “heavy tiring to seaward" are also in order
from Kodiak, Unga and Unalaska. There is always
“heavy tiring" heard somewhere when rumors of battle
are flying about and so far Alaska has not been able to
come across with even a hint of a battle yarn.

MARCHING HACK AGAIN
After losing a lot of men by ambush, accounting for
a few bandits, and using up a fortune, General Pershing’s
army is coming home without Villa's scalp.
Historians cannot be blamed if in future vears thev
% *
refere to our dealings with Mexico as a fiasco. We have
made the good Mexicans bitter, failed to bring the bad
Mexicans to account and given people living along the
southern border a very poor impression of the power of
Cncle Sam to protect his people.
Writers who have recently visited the border say that
so far as the score of “casualities” go the civilians living
on the American side are away ahead of ail the civilian
“bandits” and soldiers on the Mexican side. For every
American killed, three or four Mexicans and in some ca n s
fifty or sixty Mexicans paid the price.
The army marched in an d now is marching out again
but the border folk of Texas looked after their own, ie
gardless.
POT AND KETTLE
In a town not so many miles from Seward a leading
druggist was pinched the other day and fined half a thou
sand dollars for handling hootch. Just a plain bootleg
ging case and worth only the merest comment in the news
as the druggist put up no legal objections but pleaded
guilty and paid his fine.
The way it was handled by the newspapers in that
town is of more interest than the item itself. One ignored
it altogether and the others gave it great prominence.
The druggist advertises in one paper and does not adver
tise in the rest.
Puzzle; Guess which paper ignored the item, would
not lie much of a puzzle to the average American, because
the press has gained for itself the reputation in this coun
try of being controlled by its advertisers. It gained that
unenviable reputation by just such acts.
To give the item undue prominence for the purpose of
letting the non-advertiser understand that he would get
plenty of publicity unless he comes through is despicable,
and the editor who was afraid to give his readers the news
at all is not running a newspaper but an organ. Neither
can call the other black.
