WICKER8HAM ,
The Juneau Daily Dispatth, re- j
ceatly contained tho following iu its
editorial columns;
Our neighbor says that those who I
won't support Bunnell and still be- j
lisvo Wicket-sham has made a pretty J
good record for Alaska are not
«l»ecific as to what tho latter has
done. Wonder if he reads the
Congressional Record. Is he famil
iar with the home rule fight; did
ho ever hear about the Beveridge
bill; who was it that made one of
the greatest talks ia congress this
■easicn for Alaska; who is it that
U consulted the most by administra
t'on memberss about Alaska affairs?
Who'si—but what's the use, none
are so blind as those who won't see.
What has Wickersham done?
iiigh.' a* well ask Niagara Falls why
the thunder of its waters. The rank
*ad file of Alaska seema to have
a pretty good idea of what he has
d-ue
A DEADLOCK AT SEA.
Are land battles so long drawn
out that they become verita
ble siege operations to be matched
«.n the sea by deadlocks created by
submarines and mines? It seems
quite possible from recent events
ia the North Sea and the Baltic.
German submarines have proved
«o destructive that British fighting
ships of the first class, or even the
•ecoid, are carefully kept out of
the most dangerous waters. Brit
ish fishing vessels are blown up.
every now and then, by German
mines. In the Baltic much the
same state of things exists, with
the Russians, suffering as the Brit
ish do in the North Sea and the
German navy in coutrol of the sea,
as the British are in the more
western field of naval operations.
Great Britain has already mined
some parts of the North Sea. Rus
sia is planting mines at the en
trance of the Gulf of Finalnd and
the mouth of the G«lf of Riga
Other mines are to be sown along
the Russian coast
A little more of this sort of de
fensive action by the powers in
volved in the war will make it al
most impossible to use fleets at
sea, Hear the enemy's coast. The
risk of destruction by mines and
submarines will be too great. It
may come to such a state of virtual
blockade that great navies will be
almost wholly Inactive in the North
Sea and in the Baltic, except as to
their smaller and less visible craft.
The submarines themselves will e
in grave peril from the mines, and
ther* may come deadly fighting
between submarines iu which they
will torpedo one another and be 1
sunk without any certain knowl- j
edge anywhere of the way they,
met. their fate.
It is the strangest and the most j
stealthy and uncanny of wars, as
well as the greatest and the most
destructive.
The stray bullets that flew across
the boundary line afc Naco,
Ariz, certainly had a peculiar
habit of hitting United States sol
dier*.
Wolves are reported to be
prowling around army camps in
eastern Europe. Perhaps they re
gard armies as labor-saving con
trivances.
Discarded 6worda cannot be
made into plowshares and the
democratic brethren at Washing
tin have no use for pruning hooks.
Iu one way, the anxiety of con
gressmen to get away from Wash
ington in the hope of getting back
is not so absurd as it seems.
So t*e senate really does move
sometimes. If you don't believe
it. take a look at the moving pic
ture.
Italy's natural facilities for re
maining neutral are good, but not
as good as those of ths United
States.
South Carolina has been re- i
nuested to send an exhibit of nuts i
to the San Fraucisco Exposition.
Why -wouldn't Governor BleaSe do
for all of them?
Perhaps Turkey's real 'reason
for hesitAiug to enter the war is
the ft-ar that -i's troops may be
contaminated.
Siuco this war began, simplified
spelling hasn't been held in as
much disrespect «s was recently
the case.
A New York man has paid
51,100 for a postage stomp be
cause the flags on it were printed
upside down. Why doesn't con
gress Print a few thousand more
of them instead of levying a war
tax? _j_

METKUSALEH lived nine hundred and sixty-nine
years and wrote all his letters as lii.; fathers did.
Why shouldn't he? He had plenty cf time. With
him it wasn't a case of saving time but of killing time.
But we don't live so long; nowadays ar.d most of us have
gotten over the Methusaleh idea in the last thirty ye:.rs. We
have found that the time saved and the labor stftvel by the writing
machine is worth saving by everyone who has writing to da
Typewriting is two or three times faster than, pen writing, it is
easier and less fatiguing, it looks better, and it is the up-to-date way to
write. Reasons a-plenty for buying a typewriter, don't you think?
' The typewriter for which YOU and most people have
been waiting is the new
-Remington
Typewriter
Think of it! Here is a first-class typewriter, a genuine Reming
ton, carrying the iron-clad Remington guarantee and embody
ing just the qualities you need.
The price of the Remington Junior is 550.00, cash with
order. How does it differ from the standard hundred-dollar
Remingtons? Only smaller, and lighter, with Jhver parts—just
the machine you need for the simple; uses, such as manuscript
and letter writing.
• For S55.00 we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
of 55.00 down and 55.CO a month.
Better seize this opportunity and buy now. Cut out the
attached coupon and send it to us with 55.00 in cash, check
or money order, and we will send the machine.
