CIRCULATION Gt \RAi:TE10D TO BE MORE THAN
DOUBLE THA I til A N> OTHER ALASKA
N EWSI’ U HR.
PRESIDENT BRADLEY'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
The annoum' luent wi eh reached Juneau last week
that the Alaska Juneau mine will expend a half million
or more in improving the mill, that the company will
be put < n a sound ha is, and tliai mining operations
will hi increased, is gratifying it f n nun ion to this
section of Alaska. It meat that this great mine
will do a lot of eonstru 1 oe and devilopment work
next year, and that it will talc its pun inong the big
mines of the coentry.
The Alaska-Juncau has one of the beBt organiza
tions, of anj of the great American mines, and all
that it will require is (In necessary men to do the
work to makb u great. it is announced that
500,000 more capital will he required, but the money
will be forthcoming. The men who control the Alas
ka-.! uneau have tin' confidence of investors, and they
will get all the money needed.
The announcement of President Bradley and that
of Manager Jai l son made a few days previously
neau that Jun> .'it is all ready to get into the swim
with the coining of sp ine
People will come '• \iaska during 191:/ faster than
they went away in . 17 and 1918.
When Alask. gi ts T Delegateship contest off her
hands she w be rip, for the adjournment of poli
tics and a period of reconstruction alonr business, in
dustrial and development lines.
IT STILL LOOKS LIKE SUTLER.
While the contest between Delegate Sulzer and
Judge Wickerbsam is so close that the 250 or so
votes that have not been reported may cause it to go
cither way, the indications are very clearly in Mr.
Sulzer’s favor.
A fair statement of the case follows:
Omitting Hadley In tile First. Division from which
three reports have been received, Sulzer is leading the
First Division by 6‘J. One report on Hadley gives
Sulzer 4 plurality, one gives him 8 and a third re
port gives Wickershani 2.
Omitting r,( led in the Second from which two
reports have In n received, both of which have been
questioned at Nome, and Wiekersham is leading the
Second Division by 175. One report says Wiekersham
carried Bethel by 26 and another gives him 16 there.
Many at Nome think the pr> inct has not been heard
from at all.
With eleven p. cite ts in' sing in the Third Di
vision, Sulzer is e ., ling by l lu.
Accepting the .'etui s most favorable to Wicker
sham in* the Fourth 1 sion ud Sulzer is leading
there by 2, with one |- inct iss ue Other reports
give Sulzi r 22 more in this Division. ,
On definite returns, therefore, Sulzer leads by 36,
counting all Fourth Division reports that favor Wlck
ershatn. Accepting the reports most favorable to
Wiekersham in all cases, Sulzer's lead is 8. Accept
ing tin1 reports in all cases that tire most favorable to
Sulzer, and bis lead is 68 52 if we count the returns
from Bethel.
For the purpose of this comment, we will accept
the first mentioned figures, and for the sake of ar
gument, say Sulzer's lead is w 8.
That would account for all the precincts in the
Territory except eleven in tie Third Division, casting
255 votes two years ago, and on in the Fourth
Division, casting nine votes two jvrrs ago.
The eleven precincts in t' Tilin'* Division, includ
inging tin Bristol Bay pie,ducts which were excluded
for violatinig th< Aust dm I allot law two years
ago, gave Snlz^V 133 a> - Wick..! am 122/ The one
precinct in • • a ' ' i<", - ave Sulzer 7 and
Wiekersham : in the >a-d , ,-ti<
if these precincts should vote the same this year as
they did two years aeo. Sulzer *uld add 16 to his
lead, making it 24 il v v report , fa reived from
any precinct that is most fayc aid, to Wiekersham Is
accepted.
However, Sulzer is ruunii a 17 p f.» ut. better in
the Third Division tbU ear t an he did two years
ago. If that pe -outage mould prevail throughout the
remaining precincts, Sulzer’s lead in the Third Divis
ion woujd be increased ’< 11. If Kautishna should
again give Sulzer tlio majority that it gave him two
years ago he would have 54 plurality in the Terri
tory .with a chance to gain 6 to 10 in the First
Division, at least 10 in the Second and 9 to 22
|in the Fourth Division.
At the least, the candidates arc in the home
stretch with Sulzer a neck ahead and holding the
pole.
The papers say the Clown Prince wept over his fall
en estate when he learned that his father had ab
dicate! for himself and his dynasty. One cannot help
wondering if he smoked his customary cigarette and
wore the bearskin cap with the death's head in it as
he shed the tears.
The story that the Kaiser’s automobiles and
other effects had appeared at a chateau in Swit
zerland came out only a few days ahead of his ar
rival in Holland. Was that the closing effort of
I the Crown Prince as a strategist?
A movement has begun to make Gen. Pershing the
Republican candidate for President in 1920. ThajL
reminds us that the first boom for Gen. Grant
was for the Democratic nomination.
Those German retreat experts would be welcomed as
commanders of a lot of influenza germs.
The German People.
(St. I/Ouis Republic.)
Dr. Solf, Foreign Secretary of the German Peo
ple's Government, has begged President Wilson to
intercede with the Allies for a mitigation of the ar
mistice terms. “We will die of starvation if they
ire rigidly carried out,” he says.
Solf apparently is more familiar with the tac
tics of the German Junker militarists than he is
with the Allies and America. Hecausc the Hohen
zollerns and the Hindenburgs permitted thousands
of women and children in Poland, Armenia and oth
er occupied Provinces to starve to death, he fears
a like fate is to be visited on Germany.
It is needless for us in America to say that he
is greatly mistaken. Militarism wars on women
aid children and noncombatants, but humanity does
not, and the pure white banner of humanity has
ever floated over the war standards of the United
States and her allies.
No mail, woman or child in Germany will starve,
sven if the victors are compelled to reduce their
own rations. No infant in Germany will lack milk,
evcA if we have to reduce the amount, we give our
awn children. No one in the conquered lands shall
go unclothed, even if we have to wear less cloth
ing ourselves.
If Dr. Solf will give the matter a little thought he
will find that we have been fighting against the very
things he fears will happen in Germany. We have
sent our sons to death to prevent a handful of
people from dominating the lives of the many. We
have been fighting for freedom for the German
people as well as for freedom for ourselves. We
have shed our blood to make the world safe for de
mocracy, and that means safe for all the people of
the world. W.e have been fighting against the form
of government that permits feudal Junkers to live
eff the fat of the land while the peasantry about
I them is starving. We have been fighting for human
I equality—and we are not going to let equals go fam
ished.
It is important for the American people at this
I lime to draw a distinct line between the German
militaritss and the German people. The former
we have helped to crush. No fate that can over
: take the men who plunge Europe into a bloody cess
j pool for four years can be too heavy. Hanging and
I shooting is too good for those who caused the death
i of millions for personal and imperial aggrandize
I ment.
But the German people deserve our sympathy
j and help. Because they were misled is no reason
i why they should be punished. We have killed the
; beast that has sucked the blood from the Teutonic
people, but that is not enough. We must bind the
wounds of its victims and help them back to health
and self-respect.
The German people have a terrible struggle be
fore them, and they will need the help of all lovers
of democracy. It is not an easy matter to shake
off 50 years of military discipline and 60 years of
iron-and-blood training. For half a century the
German has been taught in schools and from the
pulpit that he was made of a superior sort of clay
and that he would some day dominate the world.
What the German people need to learn now is
that they are no better or no worse than other peo
ple. If they are sincere in their efforts for de
mocracy, if they truly want to live in amity and
co-operation with their neighbors and if they have
really cast off forever all ideas of blood-and-iron
supremacy, then we are glad to welcome them to the
family of nations.
Germany, of course, will suffer for years to come
from the war just completed, but we believe that
in time there will come from the crucible of suffer
ing and repentance a people that the civilized
world will be glad to take by the hand and call—
“Brother.’’
Italy Redeemed.
(Now York World.)
H will be forever a source of pride to 'lie Italian
race that "Italy Unredeemed” was rescud by fo^ce
of arms. The territory of which Italy bad been so
often cheated by the chicanery of kings was either
occupied or ready for almost immediate occupation
when the Armistice came. .
Though not all th>- intervening lands had beea
cleared up, the Italians were racing tbrqpgh the
Trciitino. They had landed in Trieste at the in
vitation of tlie town. The Austro-Hungarian fleet,
taken by the Jugo-Slavs, was held ready for sur
render to the United States or to representatives of the
Allies, Italy's interests being protected in either ca^e.
it would be little exaggeration to say that Home was
ready to make peaefe by the map.
Whatever terms Impend, they should be an improve
ment upon the past. The Italian character of the
Trentno, of Istria, of Trieste, has never been open
to question. The partition of the Dalmatian coast
and islands is a matter partly of racial stock, partly i
of commercial and naval considerations, upon which
tin Italian and the newly risen Jugo slav nations are
said to have come to an agreement which should sat
isfy all others. National freedom and home rule
should replace the moBt galling tyranny that Europe
west of Turkey has known.
The World salutes Italy Redeemed ami Italy. She
saved civilization by refusing to attack France in
1 ;* 14. She ihay have saved it again by entering the
war at one of its darkest hours. To world freedom
her aid has been essential. Her own triumph seems
complete.
Americans bagged 52 German prisoners by baiting
the with bread and tobacco. Gee, if they fall for truck
of that sort, why not give Milwaukee, St. Iamls and
Cincinnati a little leeway and lot tin a take the whole
army?—(Houston Post.)
Admitting that the Kaiser has worked very long
and hard at it, the Allies will interfuse no objections
whatever to his receiving the full wages of sin.—
(Anaconda Standard. )
Soldiers who have rounded up Turkish prisoners
vehemently deny that the Turks could have invented
the Turkish bath.— (Chicago News, i
