SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1915.
A most remarkable fact noticeable in the war news is the contempt »i
which Germany holds the armies of all other nations. The confirmation o
the intention of Italy to start hostilities was met by the statement from Her
lin that half a million new troops would be required to “settle” with Kin;
Emmanuel's armed hosts, l'hose Germans must surely have some opinioi
of themselves.
The change of government in Great Britain is nothing less than a con
cession to the people who have been so long accustomed to govern that em
pire. It is a curious fact that, no matter how democratic Britain migh
be in its form of government technically speaking, the people are still imbue
with a tremendous respect for the “upper classes." As a real matter of fac
the wealthy and educated have yet as strong a hold on the reins of govern
raent as ever. They govern in a moral sense when they pretend not to goveri
politically. The inclusion of Arthur Henderson, the labor leader, is a harm
less sop to the feelings of the “lower classes.** Poor Arthur will tind him
self in council with the Right Honorable Arthur Balfour and the Marqui
of l.ansdowne hut as free from any responsibility as if he had been only
member of the Seward city council. One of these days like John Burns, h
will don a knee breeches and be presented to the king as one of his majesty
advisors. The newspapers will say that George Rex received him graciousl
and that Henderson carried himself well, so proving that a man can reall;
be a gentleman even if born to the inferior sort of humans, or rot to tha
effect, in monarchies there is still as deeply rooted as ever the belief tha
only one clas.> is capable of governing and the existence of that feeling i
shown in the alterations just made in the government at London.
AU sorts of Alaskan public bodies appear to be overcome by an over
mastering desire to pass laws and more laws. Ihe territorial legislatur
ground out over eighty of them at its first session and also more than eight;
at the session ju-d closed. Ihe Seward city council is still grinding out law
by the bushel, and law* of very respectable length at that. Perhaps othe
public bodies in the territory are working on the same grand plan. Ihe Se
ward city council is about to have books of their ordinances printed and th<
copies of the ordinances ported up in public places. 1 his shows that a pub
lie library hardly needed here. If Carnegie could only see the muititudin
ous quantity of the documents and the words contained therein he would neve
start building in Seward. For the posting it might he advisable before i
is too late to rent the mountain bluff rising from the west side of the city.

ROAD OVERSEER SHOT A GIRL.
E. C. Austin, of Ketchikan, recently
appointed road overseer by the legis
lative delegation from the First divi
sion, under the new law, is being tried
on the charge of shooting.
On April 23rd children were play
ing on the hilt near the house of Aus
tin. It is claimed that they threw
- stones at his house and that he threat
ened to shoot unless they desisted.
It is claimed that they paid no at
tention to the warning and that he
' fired, one of the bullets striking the
Pederson girl, aged 20, in the leg.
CORDOVA.—Capt. Rude in com
mand of the survey boat laku, now
being repaired at Cordova, is very
' much grieved over the reported loss
1 on the Lusitania of a much respected
and admired brother officer. It is
Capt. J. B. Miller, one of the best
* known commanders in the Seattle-Al
’ aska fleet of the United States coast
1 and geodetic survey. He won fame
1 all over the Pacific last September
1 when he drove the survey steamship
* Patterson at forced speed to the res
1 cue of the officers and crew of the
■ wrecked revenue cutter Tahoma in
’ Bering Sea.
s ■ —*
1 An exchange states that no trace
L‘ of Miller has been discovered since
s the Lusitania went to the bottom of
k the sea. It is feared that he stuck
k by the ship and was carried down in
1 her vortex. Miller left Seattle early
{ last month for Washington, D. C., to
s complete work on the data from his
cruise in Alaska peninsula waters
last summer. So far as could 1 e as
certained he obtained an extended
■' leave of absence which he intended
' . to spend in the British Isles and took
} | passage on the Lusitania.—Cordova
