ALASKA DAILY EMPIRE Published by the EMPIRE PRINTING COMPANY JOHN W. TROY, Editor and Manager. Telephone No. 3-7-4 Entered as second-class matter November 7, 1912 at the postofflce at Ju aeau. Alaska, under the Act of March 3. 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Q?* year, by mall ...$10.00 Six months, by mall 5.00 Per month, delivered 1.00 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." AL-KI BRINGS MANY ?TAKES SOME SOUTH ?+? The Al-Ki arrived from the South last night bringing a light mall and the following passengers l'or Juneau: J.- E. Edwards and wife, E .M.
