GEN. WOOD BECOMES FOOLISH.
EVERY General at the head of a Nation's army is of necessity
more or less of an alarmist. It is his duty and his business
to look after the army's needs. In warning Congress that
our troops, if called suddenly into the field, would be insufficient
ly provided with guns and ammunition, Major-Gen. Wood is on
solid ground. An army, no matter how small, must be in a state
of preparedness for war. It has no other excuse for existing and
consuming the taxpayer's money.
But when Major-Gen. Wood talks of an army of 500,000 j
men he is carried away by a professional soldier's zeal. Neither
Congress nor the country will pay serious attention to his plea.
It is the idle dream of a man to whom the policy of militarism out
weighs all other considerations.
Secretary J. L. McPherson of the Alaska bureau of the New
Seattle Chamber of Commerce is going some. He has had the
President and Secretary of the Interior to take a look at his ex
hibit. However, the surroundings are inspiring. Mr. McPher
son is in fast company at Washington this year. They are all
going some there.
GOOD NEWS FROM NELCHINA. -
THE good report that comes from the Nelchina is encour-,
aging. The development of a rich placer camp out in the;
center of the great country that is tributary to the South
west Coast would work wonders in the development of a very
rich section of this Territory. Its benefits would be more far
reaching than the mere increased production of gold would cre
ate. It would take population into the country, furnish a market
for the products of the excellent agricultural lands in its vicinity,
and provide the men and money for the development of all man
ner of natural resources.
However, the further fact that a stampede into an unpre
pared country always results in hardship should be borne in
mind. The man who is unfamiliar with the business of opening
up a new camp before means of transportation are provided should
give some time to self-education before stampeding.
"We are now about to write the additional articles of our
constitution peace; the peace that means honor, and freedom,
and prosperity," says the President. If that sentence does not
go down in history as a famous epigram it will be only because
President Wilson has produced so many competitors for it.
STRATHCONA'S DEATH.
THE death of Lord Strathcona removes from the affairs of
the world a man who had done much in his lifetime. The
building of the Canadian Pacific made the nationalization
of Canada along large lines possible. Lord Strathcona saw that
in advance, and that was the great inspiration which kept him at
work until the railroad was completed. That he made a tre
mendous fortune for himself was only an incident in the work.
He had all the money he needed before he began to work out his'
plans for a transcontinental railway line in Canadian territory,
and for a greater Canada. Strathcona's career has been aptly,
compared with that of J. J. Hill, the "Empire Builder" of the
American Northwest. The two men possessed many traits in
common.
The "unscrambling" of the trusts is proceeding with light
ninglike rapidity. The officials and shareholders of the big in
dustrial and transportation companies are going into the work
with apparent relish and they are working even harder than an
industrious administration is.
The appointment of Francis A. Garrecht, of Walla Walla, to
be United States District Attorney for Eastern Washington was
one of those acts that have a tendency to give people confidence
in the government. He is splendidly equipped in legal learning
and experience, in natural ability and character to fill an import
ant public position.
Attorney-General McReynolds has an encouraging way of in
sisting that the dissolution of a trust means that the trust must
dissolve.
Those Quebec legislators are now getting theirs. This is
an uncomfortable age for political grafters.
PRINCE RUPERT ELECTS |?
EDITOR TO BE MAYOR
S. M. Newton, editor of the Prince
Kupert Empire and president of the
publishing company that owns the I
paper, was elected .Mayor of the North- t
ern British Columbia metropolis last
Thursday after an exciting campaign, i
The vote was 532 to 445. His oppo- 1
nent was the 1913 mayor?T. D. Pat- '
tuilo, formerly of Dawson. A year ago|;
Pattullo defeated Newton for the same j <
ifflce.
CREED OF NEW NATIONALISTS.
An Eastern newspaper man has pre
>are<l the following as the creed of
he New Nationalists:
"I believe In Theodore Roosevelt,
naker of noise and strife, and in Am
otion his only creed (My Lord). He
was born of the love of Power and
luffered under Bill Taft, was crucified,
lied and buried. He descended into
Africa. The third year he rose again
from the jungle and ascended Into fa
vor and sitteth on the right hand of
His Party, whence he shall come to
Bcourge the living and the dead.
"1 believe In the Holy Outlook, the
big stick, the Ananias Club, the for
giveness of political activities, the res
urrection of Presidential Ambitions
and the third term everlastingly.
Amen, Amen, Amen."
