Jiiy tltficiai Paper
NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 27, 1915.
One cannot help wondering us to what
may be the actual state of our foreign
relations that President Wilson it
afraid to call a special session of the
senate because of the fear that that!
august body may seek to enter intc I
the details of our relations with for-'
eign powers. Is it that the state ol
our foreign relations are in such pos
ture that they will not bear the sena
torial searchlight or is it simply a dis
play of that inclination to run matters
, o suit his own taste so frequently dis
closed during the first years of his in
cumbency? It is plain that there must
be some exceedingly important reason
for the president's action in view of the
fact that the revision of the senate
rules, for which purpose the special
session was to be called, was a mattej
very dear to the presidential heart and
one which he would not be likely to
forego save through an unusual neees
ity. The question naturally arises;
what must be the state of our foreign
velutions that the executive voluntarily
lays aside a long debated and much
desired project in order to conceal what
should be as open an unconcealed as
any other matter directly affecting the
welfare of the nation.
tft would verily seem that the presi
dent has been, in a way, forced tc
choose between two evils in order to
cover up what is going on In dealing
with foreign powers and one cannol
help the thought that matters mus
lie in a rather strained condition that
they must be withheld as long as pos
sible from the discussion of the sov
ereign power of the nation. Can the
mere discussion of international ques
tions by the senate be of such vital
moment thgt nur outside interests
would bo imperiled thereby? If so one
wonders why.
U. S. ENRICHED AS EUROPE
IS BANKRUPTED
l-ook on these two pictures, what i
one year of war has done for Europe
and what one year of peace has done
for the United States:
WAR.
One year ot war has cost Europe j
-,tit;o,oou of her best human slock, lias 1
niained over 6,000,000 more and hat
entailed over lu,000,000 casualties
among the men ill the held—tht
■ casualties" among homes are beyond
computation.
One year of war has added J1S.000,
000,000 to national debts, actually
tnough not admittedly, bankrupting
every belligerent.
One year of war has paralyzed
Europe's trade and turned some
twenty millions of productive work
ers into twenty millions of destruc
tion workers, while the greater part ot
each warring population is engaged In
catering directly or Indirectly to the
war gods—devils, rather.
One year of war has laid waste vast
territories of Europe and ruined and
rendered homeless perhaps fifty mil
lion human beings, to say nothing 01 J
the Irreparable destruction of much ol
the world's most hallowed architecture
One year of war, In short, has pros
trated and bankrupted Europe.
PEACE.
one year of domestic peace amid the
horrors of Europe s war bus raised the
c mted states to the forefront ol UR
a., i.mils of the earth.
one year ol peace has won lor ut
hi st place in moral influence.
one year of peace nas won lor ut
urst place in nnancial power.
one year of peace has won for ut
urst place among the industrial na
.1 ms of the world.
one year of peace nas transformed
us from a borrowing into a lending
nation.
One yeur of peace has sped us along
the path toward becoming the tlnan
eiui center of the world.
une yeur uf peace has enabled us tc
feed and succor millions and million!
of innocent, helpless victims of the
war—this last not the least notabU
ut America’s achievements during tht
uluckesl war the earth bus evei
known.
One >ear of peace, in short, has
| brought the United States an intinity
of blessings, just as one year of wui
nas brought Europe on intinity ot
mirrors and disasters.
“THEY SAY."
They say:”-—all, Well, suppose they do!
Pul cun tney prove the story true.’
>> liy count yourself among the "they'
u ho whisper what they dare not say .
.suspicion may arise from naught
dul malice, envy, want of thought.
' t hey say!"—but why the tale reherse
And help to make the matter worse?
N'o good can possibly accrue
Prom telling what may be untrue,
And is it not a nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
"They say!”—well, if it should be so
Why need you tell the tale of woe?
Will it the bitter wrong redress.
Or make one pang of sorrow less;
Will it the erring one restore,
Henceforth to “go and sin no more?”
“They say!"—Oh, pause and look within
See how thy heart Inclines to sin;
And lest in dark temptation’s hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its
power.
Pity the frail, weep o'er their fall,
But speak of good or not at all.
—Pathfinder
ALASKA
NOTES
The first case of smuggling from
Canada to Alaska on the Yukon River
to be detected in many yeas was
brought to light recently at Eagle when
a man giving the name of Walskey
was arrested there by Deputy Collector
of Customs, .J. J. Billiard. Walskey
who claims he is an escaped inmate of
the Morningsido Sanitarium went to
Dawson and bought a $750 diamond
ring and a $65 watch, giving therefore
a bogus check. He was attempting tc
smuggle the jewelry into Alaska when
detected. Walskey was committed t(
the sanitarium last April from Fair
banks. He was tried before the com
missioner at Eagle on the charge ol
smuggling and was sentenced to twe
months in Jail and a fine of $200.

The new postoflice building at the
new town Anchorage is nearing com
pletion. It is a roomy, comfortable
place.
William Wooster and wife arrive' :
at Anchorage recently, going there ir,
a small dory equipped with an Even
rude. from Bristol Bay. Due to a lack
of salmon, the canneries are not doing
well this season, says Wooster.

Another good run of salmon is now on
Patents have been issued to the Gold
Bqllion mining Company's claims and
the Independence Mining Company's
claims in the Willow Creek gold dis

Rumors of a stampede to some point
,'n the vicinity of Anchorage are rife
but diligent inquiry on the part of the
Pioneer failed to get any accurate ac
count of the strike.
In the Commissioner's court at An
chorage Karl Schlin was sentenced tr
serve three months in the local bastilt
