WANTS PUBLICTY BUREAU EXTENDED
The Fairbanks Citizen urges the extension of the Alaska Publicity
Bureau throughout the Territory. It very strongly favors the Bureau at
Juneau with K. J. White in charge, and wants it extended so that there may
be branches of it located at various towns throughout the Territory, says a
recent issue of the Juneau Kmpire.
The Citizen is quoted as follows:
*A local representative would be in touch with the headquarters at
Juneau, any they would work directly in connection with It. and so would be
.<ble to locate workers or positions in other parts of the Territory. A local
representative would be enabled to handle the other work of publicity with
which the bureau Is engaged. This Is the spreading of Alaskan propaganda
tnroughout the I'nlted States to attract settlers to this country of opportunity
after the war.
• The Interior needs to have its advantages set forth by one who is closely
im contact with conditions here, and for this reason a local m:m could handle
this phase of the work better than one in Juneau.
“The whole Territory is greatly in need of a campaign of healthy
publicity throughout the States. There has been too much of the unhealthy,
scandalous sort of notoriety circulated about the Territory for its own good
n the future. This must be counteracted and the facts brought to the public
attention in a true light in order that the right sort of people may be induced
to come here to make their homes and aid in the development of the untold
resources of this land of opportunity and promise.
“Tell your troubles to the publicity bureau, and it will do all in Its
power to right them for you. It is organized for the benefit of Alaskans, first
and foremost, and it is up to Alaskans to show their appreciation of its efforts
In their behalf. It is a measure introduced by Governor Biggs, and gives
great promise of success. It is a venture into an unknown field for Alaska,
md is deserving of our support in its efforts to be of service to us.”
THEY MUST PA Y
The British Socialist papers are demanding that the Kaiser be held
responsible for the crimes of the war stn d that he be extradited and formally
tiled, says the Literary Digest. Robert Arch, in the oldest Socialist journal
in Kngland, the London Justice writes:
“Hold the authors of all atrocities—from the big, thundering atrocity
'•f the war itself down to the latest little murder or rape or arson that can
lo brought home to its perpetrator—personally responsible. We have their
names, I understand, in a very great number of cases,—enough, at least, to
provide some entertainment for the most bloodthirsty of us when the time
(r°H
“The object of punishment is the prevention of crime. Some crimes
sue adequately met by corrective treatment; others call for no lesser remedy
than the extirpation of the offending individual. The men who let loose this
present scourge upon the earth arc, I consider, in the category of the Incor
rigible. If the war is to end with the Kaiser. . . .relegated to luxurious exile
in a neutral country, while so many well-intentioned, stupid common folk have
paid the extremest penalties for his crime, there will be a very big fly in the
ointment of any league of nations that ensues. If we hear that he, and a few
dozen others of his ilk, have met with a suitable end by bayonet, bullet, or
•ml . .« - loud will he lifted from the world. Are the Allies governments cap
able of proclaiming, .t this ps>vhologioal moment, their resolve to pay this
elementary tribute to common justice? Or is the M on arch in 1 Trade I nion • a
have the laugh of us after all?”
The Clarion. Robert Blatchford’s organ, supports Its contemporary
thus:
Think of it: If. fter capture and trial, it were established that the
Kaiser or the Crown I'rince had be ten personally guilty of launching the curse
and blight which have fallen upon Europe—if either or both were convicted of
responsibility for the invasion and martyrdom of Belgium, the Zeppelin r:\*dsj
on sleeping babies, the drowning of women and children on the Lusitania!
and the Leinster, the murders of Nurse Cavell and Captain Fryatt. the ravage
cruelty of the Lille end Roubaix slave-drives—if it were proved that cither or
both had instigated, sanctioned, or condoned even one of the -• (limirs. the
least of which exceeds ‘ail that the Devil could do if run stark ma t—if the
inevitably ensuing sentence of the Court were carried out in the devastated
market square of Lc .v:.:n. ; mid the execration of the people whose lands have
beer, ravaged and homes have been steeped in suffering and sc row—
the Great Chastisement uld stand in human memory is an awful example
to !•; ody megalomaniacs for ever and ever”
