WELCOME HOME.
That the people of Valdez will give
to C. E. Bunnell a rousing welcome
tonight is certain, that he deserves
their approbation is as certain. Hav
ing left here three weeks ago with
out a thought of being the Demo
cratic candidate for delegate, he so
favorably impressed the representa
tives o fthe party from all sections
of Alaska that a determined and
successful effort was made on their
part to force him to take the nomi
nation. The candidate did not seek
the position and it was only when
the delegates met and realized in
him the ability of a leader and the
man of the hour was he a possibility.
The Democrats have made a good
choice. The people of the Third di
vision, irrespective of party, are glad
that the choice fell upon a resident
of this division and the citizens of
Valdez especially that it fell upon a
resident of their own town. All the
people of Alaska are to be congrat
ulated that the Democrats selected
a man of the type of Mr. Bunnell,
with a record for honesty, fair deal
ing and ability, because if he is elect
ed they will be proud of him and his
record a>t Washington, as we are
proud of him and his record here.
DISARMAMENT AS VIEWED BY
GERMANY.
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, imper
ial chancellor of Germany, made a
speech before the Reichstag in 1911
which was in the nature of an an
swer to disarmament suggestions from
other powers and in which he said:
"The question of a disarmament is
insoluble as long as men are men
and states are states.” The disarma
ment propaganda met with greatest
discouragement from Germany, but
one can see how Germany was not
kindly disposed as long as Great
Britain insisted upon adhering toiler
policy of maintaining a navy twice
as strong as that of any other pow
er. It is a part i*f the Englishman's
daily thinking, that Great Britain
must have two fighting ships to one
of any other power.
The plan for a limitation of arma
ment was indorsed by some of the
leading English statesmen, but Ger
many was not willing to stop build
ing warships and let Great Britain
retain the predominance she would
have in her double-strength navy.
Germany probably felt that because
of her industrial progress she could
set a pace Great Britain could not
double.
Moreover, the military spirit seems
to be more popular in Germany than
in most other countries and the Ger
man chancellor was probably express
ing a strongly predominant public
sentiment when he addressed the
■ Reichstag and answered the disarma
ment suggestions.
Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg said
that every attempt at international
disarmament must break down on the
question of control, for control is
absolutely impracticable. He said
Germany favored arbitration treaties,
-for they could fortify peaceful rela
tions, but the chancellor did not ap
prove of international, world-etnbrac
ring treaties dictated by an interna
tional aeropagus. He considered them
■as impossible as international dis
armament.
The strength of a nation, as the
chancellor saw it, must depend up
on "readiness for war.” It has un
questionably been the policcy of Ger
many to be prepared for war.
Out of the European war a strong
and effective disarmament sentiment
might develop. That will depend
much upon the duration of the con
test and upon whether any nation
comes out distinctly victorious. If
the war should last a long time with
out giving marked advantages to eith
er side, the general impoverishment
of the nations in the conflict would
be a powerful influence for disarma
ment agreements.—Ex.
An anniversary which we haven’t
heard that anybody observed was
passed last week in New York. It
was the 24th milestone of the first
execution by electricity. The first
murderer electrocuted was William
Kemmler, who passed through the
"little green door” that leads from
Sing Sing’s death house to "the
chair” on August 13, 1890. The law
substituting electrocution for hanging
was passed twenty-five years ago.
Kemmler’s attorneys fought it as
“cruel and unusual punishment,” and
so unconstitutional, and for nearly
two years saved the condemned man
from his fate. In 1890 the law was
upheld by the courts, and the doomed
man was strapped into the death
chair. Medical men declared the ex
ecution a "complete success,” but it
was not until a number of years lat
er that any of the other states fol
lowed the example of New York in
adopting electrocution.
AUSTRIAN HEIR’S
BLOODY BIRTHDAY
VIENNA, Aug. 19.—With his coun
try in the throes of the most ter
rible conflict in history, Archduke
Charles Francis Joseph, who will suc
ceed the aged Emperor Francis Jos
eph to the Austro-Hungarian throne
if the bitter conflict now raging does
,not break the already tottering Dual
monarchy, 'oday was twenty-seven
years old. Previous to the outbreak
of hostilities it had been planned to
celebrate today with all the kingly
regality and pomp that the court of
the house of Hapsburgh is capable.
But the rattle of rifles and booming
of cannon changed the program mere
ly to receipt of messages of loyalty
and hope for victory to Austrian arms

UNIONS TO QUIZ
STATE CANDIDATES
PUEBLO. Colo., Aug. 19.—Records
of state and legislative candidates in
connection with the labor troubles
which have rent Colorado during the
past year will probably be canvassed
during the annual convention of the
Colorado Federation of Labor which
began here today. Many union lead
ers regard the coming political cam
paign as of vital importance to the
future of unionism in Colorado. They
want the unions to take more active
part in it. Because of this fact the
convention is expected to be one of
the most important in the history of
the organization.
