STIRING UP THE POLITICAL POT
Speaking of available Republican timber for dele- ;
gateship at the coming election kind of gave us the
idea to look around and see what the Democrats have
to offer for the sacrifice. Several Democrats have j
been mentioned already.
The two men most prominently talked about thus
far are Marshal Irwin and Judge Bunnell, both of the
Fourth Division. And that reminds us; leave it to
the Fourth Division to find delegateship timber. Those
people will attend to that. They are as resourceful
as resourcful can be when it comes to that. They
have a dearth of timber there. They say they have the
best men of the country anyhow.
"Stub” Irwdn was the first to whisper his intention to
serve the good people of Alaska. Marshal Irwin would
make a good candidate, because he is perfectly sound
except of sense—in nearly every respect. Yet one of
the Fairbanks newspapers is picking him to pieces, and
that must hurt some.
Judge Bunnell—he is a nice little fellow—is being
groomed up considerable also. But many fear that he
is being made the goat and^that someone else wants
his position. By sending him out on the firing line,
they’ll ge;, him both ways. All the others who have
been mentioned don’t amount to shucks apparently. But
a good man whose name has not yet been mentioned
is Senator Sulzer. The trouble with him however, he
is a pure and honest Democrat, and that’s enough to
defeat anyone.

THE BEST WAY TO END THE WAR
In yesterday’s dispatches, it is reported that King
George might take the field, take charge of the British
armies in person and relegate his representative to a
rear seat, as it were. That is a mighty good idea and j
while everybody will wish him luck, that is where he j
belongs—in the field and in the center of the front ;
fighting rank where all the rest of the European rulers j
should be. Had this been done at the very start of j
hostilities, there Avould have been precious little fight- j
ing done. As it was, the pawns have been butchered ,
to save “mutton heads.”
From the Kaiser down, those who are responsible '
for the present conflict should have been put In the
front rank, and made to fight till every dogone_one
had bitten the dirt. Instead of that, some of them
have taken the field but remain so far in the rear of
the firing lines that the danger to their precious per
sons is minimized. To still diminish the danger, they
nave a large entourage composed of the most devoted<
pawns to still reduce possible injury. With the ruiers
of those warring nations, it seems to be a case of
“sic ’em Itover.’’ What a lot of fools those moital
pawns must be.

MISTAKES WILL BE MADE
Fortunately the San Francisco Chronicle is not wide
ly read in the Yukon Territory nor Alaska, otherwise
the w’inter gloom of that Far North country might be
deepened by reading of “Dawson City, Alaska in the
columns of a publication published in a presumably
intelligent community like San Francisco. Anothei
evidence of the lack of knowledge of geography was
displayed not long ago by the Bulletin of the same
place. The Bulletin described the Pyramids as "a
range of mountains between France and Spain. ’ He
might as well have said between Mt. McKinley and
the Matanuska coal field. Evidently, we are not the
only one deficient in geography.

WHO IS BANKING YOUR MONEY
(From the Duluth Herald)
Two-thirds down in a sparkling list of "town-boost
ing” suggestions reprinted on this page the other day
was this nugget:
“If you spend all you earn, some other fellow is
banking your money.”
That’s as sure as death and taxes.
If you spend all you earn, some other fellow' is bank
ing your money, and twenty or forty years hence .when
\ ou are old, some other fellow will be living on the In
come from your money.
It’s a sure thing that you won’t be living on it.
What will you be living on?

There is more ways than one to kill a cat. Mrs.
Sarah Field, a leader in the suffrage mov- n:ent is re
ported to have said that many women will deny them
selves the privilege of motherhood until they receive
the vote. She is taking a widely signed petition to
Washington in support of the movement. The brave
women will surely win if they only stick to that resol
ution.
