rr.OIECTlON OF JHK ALASKA
COAST
Auy scheme of preparedness for
national defense n usf include Al
aska. The coast towns must be
protected, and a navai station, main
tained in the territory. A coal
supply will be assured with the op
ening of the coal mines, in the
immediate future. AVe are not an
ticipacirg war; we do not expect
it, but, in view of what is happen
ing in Europe, and w hat may hap
pen after the war is over (for
i« will one day be ended), anything
may be expected, unless the na
tions of Europe now at war, are '
so completely exhausted physically
and financially tha' it will take
many years for 'hem to recuperate.
It may be that this is the last
great war that the world will ever
see, but it is not at all likely, be
cause rhis war has shown that, with
all our vaunted civilization, o..e
touch of barbarism h:;s made all the
world tin, and peaceful and hither
to contented nations have awakened
to the fact that they must be
ready ao face war, should it
:ome.
For >ears \w have had war pro
phets ao have been predicting
war with japan, rid, while we do
and, in such a «.'a.- , u-ss the Al
aska roast tow us <• o properly
fortified, what woul<; hinder a
hostile fleet from ■. ,>uiriug aud
levying tribute? Th Turkish do
feus© tj' the Dariiar.tlks and the
Gall'poli Peninsula lias shown
that a lew guus, strategically
placed cn land, ara quite capable
of defjiag assaults of superdreaJ
naughtj. T-ie natural facilities for
the fortification of the harbors of
the Alaska coast are ideal, and
they c~uld be made comparatively
8afe from attack at a moderate ex
pense.—Juneau Empire.
THE MASSACRE EX MEXICO
not think that s,.
able, or even pos>
future, .erne day
might happea
As in every other outrage com
mit'ed upon Americans, by foreign
ers during 'he present regime, we
are told the administration, has not
yet determined upon its policy:
Has tuis administration ever had
:t polic.', except the policy of con
toning, excusing, palliating and ex
plaining offenses against the dig
nity of the United States and of
bartering over the money- recom
pute which shall bs made for Am
erican lives lost in these repeated
outrages?
Among the dutioo which fall to
tbe American chief executive Is
that of employing the full power of
his mighty office to maintain se
curity of life and property of the
citizens of the United States. This
is anions; tite most solemn and im- j
portaat functions of the presidential
office. How has this im- j
perative duty bean discharged by
the present administration? Let )
the answer be made from the depth I
of the North Sea and the Meditor- |
raneau where sleep the more than
hundred victims of Teutonic "ter
ribleness." Let further auswer
come from the nameless graves in
Mexico where othcT hundreds of
Vuiericans sleep the long last sleep
victims of bloodlurt and, licentious
neis such as the American contin-'
.mw never saw equalled even in the j
U ,'.it of Indian depredations along
the frontier.
