HELP FOR THOSE ABROAD AND
AT HOME.
The penpue of the United States have
shown commendable zeal in assisting
to relieve the great amount of differ
ing among the non-comhatants in Bel
gium That unfortunate people have
appealed in the generous spirit (if our
country and front every section of (lie
country and fn m every city, town and
village has the appeal for help been
generously i-t sponded in. This is as it
should lie in this time of human de
velopment when the suffering of large
masses of people arouse the sympathies
of the whole Wo'ld and regardless of
no tiona lit b s the ry H poll sc in every ap
peal in time of great distress are
spontaneously responded to with a
generosity which is characteri-tic of
tiiis age and time.
The American relief committees have
already forwarded more thru 30,000
tons of food in addition to other stores
forwarded l>y the Rockefeller Founda
tion and other private sources. The
American people arh responding liberal
tv but enormous quantities of food are
yet needed for the relief of the many
thousands suffering women and chil
dren of Belgium
The commission in its appeal to the
Vmeriean public, for contributions has
suggested that hereafter they ho trans
mitted in cash and thus avoid competi
tion in the purchase of supplies and
the consequent increase in prices This
is probably a good suggestion, but it
forcibly brings to the front the un
pleasant thought of how much the
American people are paying directly
and indirectly for this great European
war and how much of human suffering
it is bringing upon our own poor, many
of whom are in but little better condi
tion than are the unfortunates of Bel
gium.
Brices have steadily advanced in
tliis country and along with this ad
vance has come business disturbances,
interrupting our foreign commerce,
disturbing the finances of the nation
which required the levying of extra
ordinary federal tax and the extending
of aid to the cotton growing states and
the great railroad systems of tlie coun
try The country, Instead of being
compensated In any way by a reduc
tion in prices hy reason of the great
check upon our exports and increased
supplies in our home markets are com
pelled lo pay higher prices than usual,
in fact, war prices for food stuffs which
ought *o hav e gone down if affected by
the war.
This should not and will not weaken
in the least the appeal for help for the
suffering Belgians who are in their
dire distress entitled to the sympathy
and assistance from tlie American peo
ple It merely emphasises the truth
that Americans must help to pay for
the great world folly—the European
war.
Our own country has its thousands
of unemployed which is constantly in
creasing and the suffering is growing
in intensity and vet there is an apathy
invmg tlie American people which is
istounding when it is considered that
the labor conditions were just as easily
foretold and just as much in need of
Vicing provided for as was the cotton
crop, the railroads and our great man
ufacturing and financial institutions.
Tlie general apathy of tlie public to
wards tlie important problem of labor
is, to say the least, deplorable when
nineteen states with well ordered sys
tems of public bureaus have proved
that the trouble is largely cureable.
An attempt to meet tlie certainty of
increased numbers thrown out of em
ployment by reason of the European
war was made by Congress hy estab
lishing a Federal employment bureau
and such a hill was introduced into the
lower house at the last session hut was
pigeon-holed by tlie Federal Relatives
Commission which intimated that it
was about to study the unemployed sit
uation. and yet nothing lias been done
by this commission towards introduc
ing a liiil of its own up lo the present
time.
Although many cities have proven by
actual experience that the labor pro
idem is capable of being handled in
such a way ns to minimize the extent
of unemployment by arranging to take
up tlie unemployed slack during times
when normal employment was scarcest,
the government lms not yet awakened
to tlie necessity of doing its whole duty
towards the great army of laborers
who, like the Belgians, are innocently
suffering in consequence of tlie war.

Seattle newspapers tell of the killing,
by a street car. of Samuel Boardmun, a
blind man who lias been selling news
papers at tlye Arctic Club corner in
Seattle for several years. Boardmun
was a former Daw'sonite. His blind
ness was caused by an attempt at
suicide in the Fifth Avenue hotel at
Skagway several years age He had
followed his wife, whom lie suspected
of eloping from Dawson with another
man, and overtook them at Skagway
He shot the other man and then liim
celf The bullet he tired iHto ills own
temple did not penetrate the brain, hut
shot out both eyes. He recovered and
prospered selling papers at Jefferson
street and Third avenue. Seattle. The
victim -of his attempt at murder has
been a paralytic since tlie tragedy.
Owing to the negligence of (he people
who found tlie body supposed to lie that
of Marie Schmidt, tlie government has
lost a valuable link in tlie chain of evi
dence against "Blueberry Tommy”
Johnson, who is supposed to have killed
Frank Adams. “Fiddler John” Holm
berg and "Dutch Marie" Schmidt,” says
the Fairbanks Times The bodv was
found early in the summer hurled neai
the bank of the Yukon river, and during
the midsummer floods was washed
away. Assistant District Attorney
Bion A. Dodge was sent the lower
Yukon river, together with a govern
ment physician, to hold an inquest and
gather such evidence as might he ma
terial for tlie ease against Johnson.
They were led to believe that the body
was buried in a place where it could be
exhumed, but upon arriving at the
place of interment they found that the
whole bank had been washed away As
the description of the body answered
to that of "Dutch MnrW Schmidt in
every way, the officials thought they
hud found the binding link In tlie chain
of evidence against .Tohison, and ex
pected to have.no difficulty in convict
ing him in case he shrsild he appre
hended. At the present ^nic there are
two deputy marshals on J’iuv lower ri\ er
searching for the missing bodies of the
supposed victims of Johnson.
One hundred and fifty ounces from
three tons of rock is the result of the
work of the Ellsworth mill In this city
this week, says the Seward Gateway of
October 15. The rock was brought
from the Grant lake property by .lames
R. Hayden, and Mr. Hayden carried
around four fine bricks of gold, which
are now on display in the window of
George, the jeweler. During the week
of crushing, Mr. Ellsworth said, the re
sult was showing up far better than
had been expected, but he would not
go into details Today, however. Mr.
Hoyden was able to show the gold, and
the astonishing richness of the ore was
evident. The ore crushed was picked,
but there is said to he a large quantity
of it.

A dispatch to the Seattle l'nst-In
telligeneer from Juneau says that those
sourdoughs who are prone to mourn
the passing of the old free days re
ceived another jolt this morning in a
dispatch that told of "Boh" Warren
haying been fined $10 for carrying con
cealed weapons in the Koyukuk, in the
heart of Northern Alaska, the place re
motest from civilization. It all goes to
show that Alaska is no longer the bor
derland, said one. "The days of the
frontier are past, it seems difficult to
imagine Holt without a gun. lie has
carried one ail his life, lie belongs to
the old order along the American fron
tier who do not feel that they are dres
sed unless they have a gun handy
Guess things got too civilized in Fair
banks for Hob and he hiked to a lonely
creek in Jhe Circle diggings, ."The law
must have readied him there, and he
probable thought he could go to the
Koyukuk and carry bis beloved weapon.
Guess be will now have to emigrate to
the Arctic ocean.”
A stage line has been established ,
between Fairbanks and the new camp
on the Tolovana.
John Fahy has struck five feet of pay
dirt on Happy Creek, near Fairbanks,
said to run 10 cents to tlie* pan.
The dty limits of Juneau are to be ,
extended to Include several additions j
and to increase the area of the mttnlcl- •
polity about one-third.
