You Can Make Money
By co-ordinate co-operation fortunes are made.

No matter how great your ability.
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK ALONE
YOU CANNOT EARN MORE THAN A LIVING.
You must join your efforts with OTHERS to progress.
Think it over.
-o
Last November an engineer who had invented a new brass
process came to me in New York.
He was a competent man.
His salary as engineer ranged from $5,000 to $7,000 a year.
That about covered expenses—the living of himself and
family in New York.
His brass process was a valuable invention.
But he lacked the capital to operate it profitably.
By joining our efforts we interested monied men and se- i
cured munition contracts for his invention. 1 j
Within six weeks we had a large plant financed and in
profitable operation. ,
Thus the engineer’s earnings increased—by co-ordinate co
operation with others. i
HE CASHED IN ON HIS BRAINS—his earnings multi
plied.
Also the monied men cashed in on their investment.
I cashed in on my share—of course.
Every one connected with the proposition prospered.
AND THERE YOU ARE—CO-ORDINATE CO-OP
ERATION.

Everyone of you who reads this advertisement can make

Each can have his share.
THERE IS PLENTY FOR ALL.
And it will be new wealth not money made out of each

credulous voters. It Is time the party
takes In Its sign; disincorporates and
retires to innocuous desuetude. Ev
ery other political organization and
race was represented in the Babel of
Tongues which greeted the Savior of
Alaskn, her True Friend; but the
lattod calf was sacrlfled upon the altar
of Progressiveism; our returned Prod
igal dallied with the flesh-pots of po
litical licentiousness.
No wonder our Delegnte borrowed
a special train and hurried to Seward
to spread the glad tiding of great Joy.
Sewnrd has at least six Republicans
and one gentleman whose sister mar
ried a man whose brother was a
Republican—once.
Al'TO-ll Vl’NOSIS.
Our Delegute undoubtedly is going
upon the theory that if he reiterates
a thing often enough his hearers will
believe it. And those who have not
informed themselves upon his actions
in Congress probably will, but it is
the duty of every man to investigate
these matters for himself. The fact
that a politician gets upon a public
rostrum uml claims certain bills as
his own will convince no thinking
person. The average voter does not
want to be shown. He wants to vote
for the man of his choice, and more
than likely the man of his choice is
the wrong man for the good of the
Territory. Unless you can differen
tiate between hot-air and facts you
should get the Congressional Record
and read up. Wickersham is an able,
brainy man,—a thoroughly Ukeable
man,—but we do not believe he is
the best man to represent the Terri
tory for the reason that he is inden
tified with too many factions and in
dependent- parties. A man to wield
influence in the House,Representa
tives must be identified with ONK
party or the other anil must work
in harmony with his confreres. Mr.
Wickersham does not do this. He
has no alliances; he is on no commit
tees of importance, his influence in
the House is so slight he must huve
his bills introduced and shielded lie
hind the bills of the Congressmen
from other States. This is not a good
thing for the greatest Territory in
America. We should have a man
who commands the respect and es
teem of his compatriots. Mr. Wick
ersham’s private life is without re
proach; as a Delegate he has outlived
his use to the Territory. As a citi
zen he is a man of great ability; as
a representative he is intensely hos
tile to Valdez and her intercuts. Mr.
Wickersham has conducted a digni
fied campaign without indulging in
personalties or vituperation of his op
ponents. He lias stated certain facts
which the records do not bear out as
to his conduct in Washington. The
Territory will not go to the demnition
bow-wows witii Mr. Wickersham as
delegate; the old ship of state will
move along as sedately as it has here
tofore; but we believe the best inter
ests of the Territory require a change
of representatives at the capital: and
we further believe that Mr. Sulzer
is the better man for the place.
THE TIMES 18 IN ERROR.
WHEN the Anchorage Times t*lks
of unions and unionism we believe It
should hold its head above water
and call for help, as it is undoubtedly
beyond Its depths. The Alaska Labor
Union so-jcalled is an off-shoot directly
of the Industrial Workers of the
World; their letters to the Prospector
when the union was organized stated
that the Anchorage body would
not afTillate with the American Fed
eration of Labor. A member having
a card from the Alaska Labor Union
would not be considered a Union man
In the States, for they would have no
representation in the Federation, and
no voice In Federation matters. The
Western Federation of Miners are
true-blue Union men because they are
affiliated with the parent body, and
they are working unanimously -for
Sulzer. We now hold and have held
a card in the Typographical Union for
a score of years. Our Union has rep
resentation with the parent body, and
we pay dues to it. The Anchorage
Union owes allegiance to. no other
organization and has no authority
for Its existence. The members may
and undoubtedly are as flue a bunch
of hard-working men as ever organiz
ed, but they are entitled to no recog
nition from a Union man so long as
they work along the lines of the In
dustrial Workers of the World,—and
if the editor of the Anchorage Times
had half as much knowledge of Un
ion conditions as he has of politics
he would know this.
We desire no discussion with the
Times over the sterling worth of the
members of the Anchorage Union;
that Is admitted. The men have a
right to use any means in their power
to better their conditions. They have
the inalienable right given to every
freeman to vote for the Delegate, and
no one with an atom of American
ism in his inake-up can dispute it;
but when the Times tries to assure its
readers that Delegate Wickersham is
receiving the Union vote of the Terri
tory, or any part of it, it is grossly
in error. The only Union in this neck
of the woods is the Western Federa
tion of Miners,—and they have come
out for the man who would save
Alaska for Alaskans—Charles A.
Sulzer.
THE EIRE boys made a quick run
(lie other night to the scene of the
incipient conflagration in Rudolph
Court. In less than five minutes after
the tap of the bell a line of hose wns
stretched and the boys ready for busi
ness. Valdez has a most excellent
volunteer force. And while we are
on this subject, we might stale that
a large part of the efficiency of the
fire boys is due to the efforts of Engi
neer Graham at the fire hall, in keep
ing the apparatus up to a high state
of efficiency. A good fire department
is a valuable asset to any city.
THE SEWARD POST sticks its
head out of obscurity far enough to
snap at Col. Richardson and the Road
Commission and hastily withdraws
into its hibernatorium without clari
fying the otherwise muddy water.
Well, we’ll be the fall guy; we’ll play
interlocutor. Tell us. Bones, just why
the Road Commission does buy its
supplies at two stores? Our rest is
being disturbed over this vital issue.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT has
shown himself in recent years to be
nothing more than an opportunity of
the most glaring kind. He has even
deserted the party which he created.
We have many politicians in Alaska
and all over the United States who
have no party but the party they ex
pect to be uppermost. Such men
should not be placed in control of the
government of anything.—Gateway.
THE UNITED STATES is willing
to "let George do it” when it comes
to capturing those submarines off our
coast.
NOW is a good time to have those
hues examined, before you suffer a
tire loss and probably burn out one
or two of your neighbors.
George Dooley Makes Hit,
George Dooley is coming back to
Valdez on the next boat to pour a few
political broadsides into his adver
sary for Senator. Now, George is a
"broth of a bboy.” He has never
■hnd any claims-ter popularity "tHUtire
quently he is as popular as they
make them. George stands upon his
legs, squarely and without the sup
port of any political agitators, and
tells his audience where they will
get off at in case he is elected to of
fice—and believe me, George is a
good spellbinder. We like George;
everybody likes George. He is our
idea of what a man should be, square
and above board, with a little failing
maybe for loving his friends, but
that is his privilege. He came out
Df Anchorage with no drums beating
and with no hot air tailing on to the
wnke of the ship, but he left a lot
if. mighty good friends there. And

MUSIC FESTIVALS.
The; Really Bagan With tha Great
Handel's Works In London.
The real “era of musical festivals”
begins with the great Handel com
memoration, with Its festival perform
ances, held In London first from 1784
to 1787 and then again In 1791. Be
fore this there had been music festi
vals In England, but they were virtual
ly unknown on the continent It was
the efficiency of the English choirs that
induced Handel to take up the writing
of works for large musical bodies In
his oratorios.
The annual production of “The Mes
siah” In London at Christmas Ume,
with a great chorus and orchestra* nat
urally aroused the national pride of
the Germans, who felt that the great
master belonged by birth to them.
Berlin first and then other German
cities began to give Handel festivals
on the London plan, and soon the
works pf other composers were added
to the festival lists.
So that at the beginning of the nine
teenth century “several organizations
devoting their energies to the produc
tion of any great work, whether choral
or purely Instrumental, sprang Into ex
istence In Germany.” Among the old
est of these and among the most fa
mous to this day are the Vienna Gesell
schaft der Muslkfreunde and the Nie
derrhetnlsche Muslkfeste, which take
place each year In some city on the
lower Rhine.
The United States has followed the
example set first by the English and
then by the Germans in their musical
festivals, and In several of the larger
cities there are yearly festivals of this
kind.—New York Times.
WOMAN AND THE ARTS.
Why She Exosls In Writing and Net
In Muslo and Painting.
The average woman possesses a
greater variety of character, ns of
wardrobe, than does the man. She
can more readily lay aside or suppress
some Important part of her and bring
some contrasting feature Into view.
She carries In herself a ready wealth
that la more applicable to the story
than to painting or to music. Thus
It Is, writes George M. Stratton In the
Atlantic Monthly, that In painting and
In uyislc she Is to be passed by man
with ease, but In the story. If at all,
with greatest effort
In the minor art of dancing and In
the nobler work of reproducing the
music of the great composers, as In
acting the characters of the great
dramatists, there a'.e women of high
and pven of highest rank. But, to leave
these more Interpretive or reproductive
arts, only in fiction does she approach
the mark of men, for here she must
be counted with the great of the craft.
And, even should some crabbed soul
Insist that the rare company in which
are George Eliot, Jane Austen, George
Sand, Mme. de Stael and the Queen of
Navarre does not Include the one who
is gftatest In the guild, yet there Is no
discomfort felt in naming these wom
en along with Scott and Dickens, Cer
vantes, Hugo and Boccaccio. But speak
of the other creative arts and we feel
at once the chill. Cbaminade looks ill
at ease In the presence of Beethoven,
Joanna Baillle with Shakespeare, An
gelika Kauffmann with Michelangelo.
Tha Result of a Drink.
Such a slight circumstance as a glass
of wine changed the history of France
for nearly twenty years. Louis Phi
lippe, king of the French, had a sou,
the Duke of Orleans and heir to the
throne, who always drank only a cer
tain number of glasses of wine, be
cause even one more made him tipsy.
On a memorable morning he forgot to
count the number of his glasses and
took one more than usual. When en
tering his carriage he stumbled, fright
ening the horses and causing them to
run. In attempting to leap from the
carriage his head struck the pavement,
and he soon died. That glass of wine
overthrew the Orleans rule, confiscat
ed their property of' $100,000,000 and
sent the whole family Into exile.
Camels.
Unless camels have been especially
trained to abstinence they cannot go as
long as is commonly supposed without
water. When marching near rivers
they drink twice a day. They feed
largely on the tough, scrubby verdure
known locally as camel thorn, which
grows throughout Mesopotamia, ex
cept on the extreme desert wastes.
Their habits are peculiar. Unlike
horses, they seem to feel no fondness
for their human associates, though
they will seldom wander far from the
caravan tents even If left untied over
night.
