WHAT ABOIT ALASKA?
While the government is so con
cerned aoout prepareduess, why not
giye some thougai to Alaska?
What 's to prevent the imaginary

100 meu or so and some second
class battle cruiser aud annexing
Alaska? While it *3 true that
seme of the foreign nations might
not place as many restrictions up
on Alaskans as the autocratic po
litical rule at Washington im

government. We would rather l>e
kicked and cuffed and bullied by
Uncle S&m than enjoy real privi

VLK1LK AMERICANISM
Roosevelt's name is uppermost
la thu minds of the state editors
holding an institute here. The
press of the country is giving more
attention to him than to any oth
er American. Essentially he repre
sents national impatience with a
faltering-. Impotent administratcn at
Washginton. As this impatience
has grown he has grown in popu
lar 'avor. • For a year, now, he has

vacillating governmeuuil policies

statesmen, n.o less conscious of the
need of a strouger government, and
& sturdier Americanism, but content*
ing themseh-es with polite criticism
mild protest,, have seemingly
acquiesced in the feoble "watchful
waiting" g&me.
Slowly but surely the country has
lost faith in the efficacy of rhet
oric and phrases to uphold America
rights. It has become wearied with
the flow of language from "Washing

ministration, iu effect, has washed
its hands of blame with, the lame
excuse that these ill-fated Ameri

abandon their property and flee for

"no evidence of any change in the
American policy!" It has the old
excu.se.
Germany was told that it would

this nation's neutral rights. Press
and people applauded, but the warn

nothing.
