FOR HUMANITY SAKE
For years past the various civic bodies of communi
ties in this coastal area, as well as ship captains and the
press, have endeavored to secure a cutter, with perman
ent headquarters or berth, in this region. But the efforts
of years have brought no results. Evidently the only thing
which will awaken Washington to this need must be a
calamity of the sea wherein scores of lives will be lost.
The stationing of a cutter in these waters is not a
community affair, in the way of selfish motives-increas
ed business, etc., - but is one which Valdez, Kodiak, Cor
dova or Seward would welcome its advent for the long
sought protection will afford a certain amount of safety
to those who follow the sea, also the public, which these
sea-lanes have never enjoyed.
It is true these waters have not-and we hope they
never will - had such a series of disasters upon the sea as
occured on the Atlantic the past ten days when 58 ships
were lost within a period of 48 hours. Recently 13 men
were lost on two halibut boats; hardly a day or week goes
by but what news dispatches report other craft lost or
sunk. Now the Steamer Starr, the staunch little vessel
which has been plowing Westward waters for years, hit
a hidden reef disabling it so that only by the grace of
God has it and the people on board been saved.
In the face of these things it would seem ample rea
son why there should be no hesitancy by Washington in
ordering one of its many cutters to remain here through
out the winter months, at least.
One thing you’ve got to say for bootleggers: they
put the cemeteries on the map.
While Senator Bingham, who introduced a bill yes
terday to exempt officers and employees of “the territor
ial governments of Alaska and Hawaii from payment of
federal taxes, was about it why didn’t he include all of us
common j>uvs. We also work for a living.
DETAILS ARE LACKING BUT—
A strange story reached Seward in the last mail
in which it was said Frank Bingham, who since has pass
ed over the Last Trail, objected to engineers surveying
thru his farm for a road telling them they could go
around it. He was then sent to Cordova for a sanity hear
ing where he fought for his rights and won.
Lacking details, on the face of the report it appears
that a citizen these days has even less rights than' we
thought. How about that musty, mill-dewed, ancient al
leged law wherein it says “A man’s home is his castle.”
Can officials now have one up before the court if a
citizen disagrees with them. Ye Gods! Has it come to
this pass ?
Democracy, squeesed of its wetness, shall rise again!
