TO BE MORE THAN
ALASKA NEWSPAPER.
WELCOME TO THE PRESBYTERY.
Juneau Is ibis w(tk lu st to the Alaska Presbytery
The guests include all the clergymen of Hie Pres
byterian Chinch In Southeastern Alaska. And this
1 net a slight htnor to this town. The Presbyterian
Church lias done a great work in Southeastern
Alaska, ppooially among the Indians, and it is doing
more and more each year. Most of the clergymen
who aie lu re have devoted many years of unceasing
toil in this section cf the country, and several of
them have spent the better part of a life-time here.
They have devoted these years without thought of
telf for the benefit of others. Their rewards will he
the consciousness that their work has borne fruit,
that Alaska and the country are better because of
what they have done.
IS PRINCE RUPERT BECOMING TIRED OF
BEING MARKET FOR AMERICAN FISH?
There lias been a good deal of discussion over tlie
efforts of Ketchikan bittiness men and others to get
legislation that would prevent American fish mar
kited and prepared for ru.il shipment at Prince
Rupert from coming back into the I’nited States duty
free. The Ketchikan people have asked that Alaskan
iish destined for American markets in the Hast be
chipped from an American port, and. if shipped
through Canada, that it be bonded at tlie American
port. The people of Prince. Rupert have opposed
tbit proposed legislation and brought influence ti
>bear tu permit the marketing of such fish at theii
t-wn and its Hpinent from there over the C'anadiai
railway into the United Slates.
Notwithstanding lhn,t everything iias thus fai
gone exaclly a Piince Rupert has seemed to want
now conics the Prime Rupert Nows, and complains
that American fishermen are getting too many
privilege; at tlu.it |«ort. It rays:
The American fishermen, some of them
at any rate, gut all the benefits or this port
and give nothing in return. They are given
practically all the privileges here that t'an
■adhins get and besides it hat t hey gel about
two cent a pound more for their fish than
Canadian bouts and as soon rs they get
port to spend their motley. 'fills condition
of uffuiis cannot continue. We do not mind
co-operating. We are willing to give and
take, hut it cannot be all on one Hide. Can
adian boat!, are being discriminated against
wiuhout any corresponding advantage. Those
American boats that nil their catches here
and take rway every dollar they receive will
find that while Canadians are long suffering,
a little slow, perhaps, and friendly and
willing la do business at all times, yet there
Is a limit and that limit is very near being
reached just now.
It is to tile advantage of American fish
ermen to sell their catches here and it is to
the advantage of Canadians to encourage
this. At .the same time v.e cannot sit idly
by and see cur own fishing vessels put out
of business just for the advantage of the
Amercian boats, nor can v.e give the Ameri
can fishing ho aits all the advantage of a
Canadian pert without getting some quid
pro quo. it will lie for Canadian statesmen
It: consider, t lie situation cruci ally and lake
such steps as arc considered necessary to
protect Canadian interests.
THIRD PARTY HARDING’S OPPORTUNITY’
A great many people believe that the re-election
of President Hurtling depends upon whether or not
a . third or independent party shall appear in the
arena with a PiviidetiL;jl ticket and competent or
ganization behind it. it must he admitted that there
are a good many things upon which to hang such a
belief. Whilt those itfi are upporting the Presi
dent proto ; to he confident of success in 1924 and
point to tile circumstance that the Republicans bold
the House of Represi ntatives by a majority larger
than 'tiro.: elected in the* middle of President McKin
ley's fli :t 'term, it should he remembered that they
held the House bisause the party stood fur different
thing in different States, if we counted only as Re
publican' these who are pleased with the Harding
Admdnictraiti n it would not have a majority in the
pert Congress. it there iiud been no "I’rogressiye"
or Insurgent Republicans running for Cungre.-s
anywhere in the cuuntiy tin opposition would have
had a very handsome mujoiity in the House and,
probably, would have carried the Senate. In the days
cf McKinley there was only one brand of Repub
licanism.
In 1924 the Republican Party will have a National
platform and a National ticket. The National plat
form, if he is rcnc-minailed, will be the Harding Ad
ministration record, just as the Democratic platform
in 1920 was the Wilson Administration record Un
less there is a third party in the field the voters are
likely to vote for or against that record. In recent
ytars the opposition party Is generally looked upon
fargely as an opposition, aiid it affords u convenient
ila^# for all those who age “fcrnist” to lung.
'On the other hand If the Democrats should nom
inal# an Underwood or a Davis or anyone satis
| factory to the more eonsefvat ive clement of the
I population ami a third party should have a popular
! candidate ami an effective organization behind him the
i latter mi glut very partly pet ■enough support from the
|“fernls>t” element to give the victory to the Harding
liepu/blieane.
It is also possible that if Democrats should follow
I the example set them by the performance at Chicago
! in 1896, when they nominated a radical and thus
put a formidable third party out of bus!nets, that]
! enough I>emocra,ts would be driven to Harding to
permit him to win.
THE SEAL SKIN MEMORIAL.
The memorial introduced by Senator Drown, de
,el'arintg the seal skins of the PriibiCof Islands to con-j
statute an Alaskan resource, urging that they be soldi
I In the ope n market to the highest bidder while in
| the salt elate instead of after tanning, dyeing, etc.,
[and that the profits be turned into the Territorial
Treasury, is directed toward a worhty purpose. The
recitation that the contract witli a St. Louis firm for
the treatment of the skins is monopolistic, etc., is
rather far-fetched, and similar charges made else
where have been strenuously denied by officials at
Washington. It would not weaken the memorial
if that were cut out, and it might hasten the ac
re ptunce of the sensible suggestions made. The Em
pire i convinced that the purposes of the memorial
are sound and right and ought to be adopted by the!
Government.
The Six Hundred.
(New York Post.)
The death in Ontario of a British veteran whose
si !u title to distinction is that lie took part in a little
skirtmh fought by tin? men sixty-nine years ago is,
after the drums and trampling* of armies of millions
this Ian decade, still considered worth generous news
paper space. The skirmish happened to be that which
l elicited front the French General Bossuet the ept
I gram, "fist magnillque, main ce n’est pa la guere."
; It happened to be described by a well-known war
I enrro pomh tit, \Y. II Russell, in an account in the
I London Times, which included it lie words "Some one
'had blundered”; and these words happened to Inspire
lone reader to jot down in a low minutes a famous
j poem There have been instances in plenty of regi
ments losing two-thirds their number in u few
minutes, and not a tew instances of a few hundred
men charging on army. But from the death of the
three hundred at Thermopylae to the defense of the
Lost Battalion in the Argonne there have been few
incidents in military history which leave seized the
imagination like the charge of the Light Brigade.
It i. a familiar fact that numbers have no ability
; to enhance the appeal of battles to our sense of the
I heroic. Washington marched to Yorktown wiMi
j fewer troops than were contained in a full regi
| me nit of the World War; the w'hole Rcvoluton was
| fought by armies thut in not a single instance
I equalled a single brigade in the recent conflict. The
scale of the flighting was insignificant beside that of
today. Yet the Revolution remains the epic protion
cf American history. Poets and historians front the
siege of Troy onward have found more color and
drama in the exploits of individuals and picked bunds
than in vast armies. The storming of Zeebntgge can
be visualized, while the battle <1 the Somme can
not. Nor itas victory anything to do with it. Defeat
by fearful odds is even better. The best buttle poem
, of the Civil War is probably a Southerner's eele
| l.uation of "The High Tide at GettSburg.” The
Light Brigade was defeated, and the Revenge was
! sunk.
i
Defaulters- Unpopular.
(New York Tribune.)
The effort, to abrogate Dlie Venaaillea treaty by
reparation defaults and passive resistance seems to be
breaking dnwn. The annulment front is cracking,
I both at home and abroad.
I In Chancellor Cuno's recent speech he deplored
I ' he tact that Germany had further alienated world
sympathy by her maladroit Ruhr policy. The Keiclt
I accumulated hot ween 1,000,000,000 and 2.000,000,000
I of gold by selling paper marks to credulous foreign
iipecul'atorr. It staged a fraudulent bankruptcy and
then put forth the dishonest plea that it was unable
to pay reparations. The reasons are not far to soek
if Germany is more friendless today than ever.
Cuno gambled on strengthening the nation's will
| not to pay by inviting the French-Belgian occupation
i of the .Ruhr and then trying to demonstrate its
lutility. But his strategy has gone wrong, even in
! side Germany. Industry and commerce have been
checked by «tlie Government's drive to boost the value
iif tho mark and bitter quarrels have started between
j the capitalists and the workers over wage readjust
1 men is.
The Cuno administration is owned by the big
j industrials. It has consistently favored them at the
| expense of the workers. A Socialist Deputy, Herr
! Soilman, has charged that in February the wage
| earners paid 04 per cent, of the tax receipts and that
j big business and agriculture together paid only ti
I per cent. Ctnia has been fig’hiting, in fact, to keep
j intact the vast holding’s of the supennagnates like
| Klitines, Kruipp. Kirdcrf and Thyssen.
| Kvcn the industrials now are losing faith in Iheir
ability lo keep going with the Ruhr district severed
■ from the rest ol Germany. The Ruhr is Germany's
j Jugular vein. Stinnes and Thyssen know this just.
! well us Cuno and Ebert or Wirth and the Social
i ists.
| In this country, too, enthusiasm for the 'tactics
I of default and defiance Is yielding to rattier chilling
I commiseration. American opinion has no great ten
j dorness for a defaulter—especially for a defaulter
I ">th Germany's long record of aggression and per
j fidy. Those who thought thait Germany could he
j pictured as an aurooled martyr imttead of a hardened
criminal have been disillusioned.
If Borah should run for the Presidency the bodge
Podge of his record might well puzzle the most
