MORAL COWARD TO THE FRONT.
Some brave (?) gentleman, who conceals his identity by
refusing to sign his name to the article, sends a lengthy com
munication to the Valdez publication, in which he intimates
That because the Alaska Labor News is printed at The Times
office, it is, forsooth, but an'Adjunct of this newspaper, pro
moted for political purposes. Ordinarily, no attention would
be paid to unsigned articles. A person who declines to sign
malicious articles of this nature, in which unjust reflections
are made on people and business concerns, places himself, by
his own act, in the category of a moral coward. That there
may be no misunderstanding in this matter, The Times will say
that it has as much connection with the Alaska Labor News as
it has with any person or business house that may wish print
ing done, and no more. The Times, as is well known, has an
up-to-date printing establishment, power presses and two
Mergenthaler typesetting machines being a part of its equip
ment. It is especially adapted to handling all kinds of com
mercial printing, and it is but a business proposition for the
publishers of the Alaska Labor News to have the mechanical
part of their publication printed here. No member of the edi
torial or repertorial staff of The Times writes a line or is con
sulted in any wise with respect to the labor paper. The labor
paper is ably edited and well gotten out. Tt is what it purports
to be, a newspaper devoted to the interests of the laboring men.
Its owners and editors are Messrs. Hegner, Gantv and Peters,
who are responsible, and accept the sole responsibility for the
publication. There is no quarrel as between The Times and
the Alaska Labor News, simply because this paper realizes that
the laboring men are entitled to have .a newspaper; devoted
primarily to their interests.
This week, The Times will issue the Alaska Railway Rec
ord, gotten out under the auspices of the Alaskan Enginering
Commission. It will appear once a week and deal wutli rail
way activities. The Times will have as much to say as to what
is published in the railway pqper as it does as to what is print
ed in the labor paper—which is absolutely nothing. We take
this printing as a commercial job; we take the labor paper as
a commercial job.
So much for the hallucinations of a moral coward who
dare-not reveal ki«-identity, because to do so would subject
him to the designation which he, by his misleading and urn
truthful statements, has justly earned.
FOREIGN USE OF CANAL.
Whether or not the Panama canal be maintained as a nav- j
igable waterway seems to be a matter of more importance to
Great Britain than to the United States, says the Seattle Post- ,
intelligencer.
A recent official report of the operations of the canal dar
ing the month of August show that the whole number of ships \
passing through the canal was 142, and of these 71 were British ;
and 26 American. Norway came next with 11, Chile had 10, j
Peru , Japan 6. British tonnage for August was 288,299 and j
American tonnage 53,286 out of a total of 516,286.
In the canal service are four lines from the Atlantic to j
South and Central America from Europe to the Pacific coast of
South America, four from Europe to the west coast of North
America, nine from the Atlantic coast to Japan, Siberia, China
and the Philippines, six from the Atlantic coast to Australia
and New Zealand and two from Europe to Australia and New
Zealand.
The exhibit shows that American interests are not only
making comparatively small nse of the Panama canal, but such
use as is i^ade is largely by Atlantic coast lines.
The present industry in shipbuilding in the United States
is not at all premature. It seems to be imperatively called for
by the circumstances. The present seamen’s law is a great
hindrance to American steamship lines in foreign trade, and the
almost total absence of such lines in the Pacific overseas trade
is due largely to this cause.
One of the ifnportant questions before the people of; this
coast, and indeed, of the country, is the election of a president
and congress that will foster an American merchant marine.
William P. Henry, candidate for- the lower house in the
Alaska legislative assembly,running on the republican ticket,
is a visitor in Anchorage. “Billie” Henry, as he is known to
his intimates, is widely known in the district, is a good public
speaker, has a liberal education, and would make an excellent
representative. Mr. Henry can .figure on a good vote in the
Uook Inlet country.
While the electric light rates have not been officially an
nounced, it is whispered that the towhsite authorities intend
to place them rather high to begin with, lowering them when
the lighting system is on a working basis, when the cost may
be definitely determined. It is easier to lower rates than to
raise them.
About the only fellows that really enjoy the cold snap,
lhat came on so suddenly, are the plumbers. The plumbers
are good fellows, but they do enjoy the little misfortunes of
the householders, in the way of frozen water pipes, etc. Busi
ness is good in the plumbing line.
