SWAMP THAT CANNERY
Now that our commercial organization has taken onj
new life and everybody is behind it, look ahead and seei
what can be done to better conditions and make more!
business for the town.
There are many things the Chamber of Commerce |
has to do »hat takes work, time and money, so boost and|
then boost some more.
For instance, the San Juan Fishing Co. has located!
here and there are many things to do to make its owners
know their efforts are appreciated. They are pioneers in
untried waters and it is up to the people of Seward to as
sist in every way to secure ample fish to keep their plant;
running to capacity and make the venture profitable. Ifj
the plant is swamped with fish, the fact will be proven to j
the world that Seward is a fishing center, and other plants
can be easily induced to locate here.
%
Get together on this proposition and make a strong
pull to bring to a successful result this industry brought
to us bv outsiders.

PROTECTING THE COPPER
The citizens of McCarthy have formed an organiza
tion known as the Loval and Patriotic Order of Ameri
cans. The primary object of this order is to preserve the
honor and integrity of this country, in case of war be
tween the United States and any other power. The presi
dent is Judge O’Connor, United States commissioner, at
McCarthy, and his many friends will agree that in case
anything is started bv enemies of the country that the
judge will see that they “play ball.”
The real purpose of this organization is to safeguard
ihe Bonazn copper mine, one of America’s most important
sources of copper.
OUR SECRET DIPLOMACY
Secret diplomacy is one of the causes of the war in
Europe.
American diplomacy is about as secret as European.
In some respects it is more secret; for a prune minis
ter in Europe can lie questioned in the national parlia
ment on the reasons for any diplomatic move.
The president and the secretary of state in these
United States cannot lie questioned. Congress and the
public must believe their deeds are for the best, and must
“stand by the president.”
This is not the president’s fault. It is the fault of the
diplomatic system that has grown up in this country,
closely patterned after the diplomatic system that has
caused most of the wars in the world.
lhe curse ot secret diplomacy must be erased from
the earth if there is to be lasting peace between nations.
Let us not forget that this country is just as respon
sible for the continuance of secret diplomacy as is any
other.
Secret diplomacy must lie abolished. But, until it is
abolished, we must STAND BY THE PRESIDENT!—

“Did you tell the minister that I did
not wish him to kiss me after the
ceremony?"
“Yes, my love."
“And what did he say?"
“He said in that case he would
charge only half the usual fee.”
First Down
This is a yam (emphasis on “yarn")
that comes from Harvard University:
A train had just run off the track
and plunged down a deep embank
ment. Engine, bafrffafire car, coaches
and sleepers wrere piled in terrible
confusion.
Smith, the famous half-back, lying
at the bottom of the wreck, came
partly to his senses. Three passen
ger coaches were piled on top of him.
A piece of pipe was coiled about his
neck. The rim of one of the great
driving wheels of the engine rested
on his face. His legs were pinned
down by a heavy beam. A pillow had
been forced against his mouth and
nose. His arms were pressed against
his sides, and he tried in vain to move.
But willing hands were at work up
on the wreck, and at last Smith was
dragged out. I/ooking around in a
dazed sort of way he asked:
“How many yards did we gain on
that ‘down/ boys?”
“A Little Group of Willful Men’*
(From the New' York Sun)
The specter of Benedict Arnold
Returned to visit this plane,
And looked in the face of O'Gorman,
Of Vurdaman, Kirby and Lane.
He thought of his treachery fearful,
The deed for which nothing atones,
And gazed on the visage of Norris,
Of LaFollette, Cummins and Jones.
He thought how* the doom of the trai
tor,
Forever his name must enwrap.
Then he looked upon Works, Stone
and Gronna,
And feasted his eyes upon Clapp.
The specter of Benedict Arnold
Found balm in these men for his
crime;
isenold, he cned, they are eleven,
And I was but one in my time!” *
