BUNNELL MAKES HIT HERE.
Here, in the home city of his chief
opponent, Charles E. Bunnell, Demo
cratic nominee for delegate to con
gress from Alaska, has been accord
ed a welcome that Mr. Wickersham
might well envy. The way In which
Mr. Bunnell was received here is
probably the most encouraging fea
ture of his campaign to date, for he
(•nine to Fairbanks with the knowl
edge that he was entering the ene
my’s territory, and instead of antago
nism he found here friendliness and
good will.
Mr. Bunnell has indicated that he
is mu one 01 uiui cueap class 01
politicians who attempt to promote
their own interests by blackening the
characters of their opponents. His
criticisms of Mr. Wickersham are dig
nified. and are limited to official acts,
and are not belittling personalities.
Before Mr. Bunnell came here, it
was known that wherever he went he
was drawing the divergent Democrat
ic factions together. As far as can
he learned, there is no truly Demo
cratic element that is not heartily
supporting Mr. Bunnell in his can
didacy.
Mr. Bunnell is the only candidate
for the position of delegate to con
gress pledged to support a platform
prepared by representative people of
Alaska. If he is sent to congress,
which now seems very probable, he
will be backed by the Democratic
administration in Washington, and
will w'ork out the plans prepared by
the only important convention held
in Alaska this year.
People may differ in regard to some
of the minor features of the local
Democratic platform, but on the whole
it must be confessed that it is pro
gressive throughout. In addition to
that platform, Mr. Bunnell has out
lined policies of his own, which will
appeal to all classes of people in the
territory.
Ixing before he was urged to be
come a candidate for delegate to con
gress, Mr. Bunnell worked out a plan
that, if it is ever adopted, will be
sure to prove a blessing to Alaska
miners.
This plan consists of a new lav
which will place the granting of
mining titles in the minds of courts
of competent jurisdiction. According
to it, a man who records a mining
claim will be permitted to gain title
to it at any time after he has done
1500 worth of assessment work and
has demonstrated to the satisfaction
of a court that he has been operat
ing in good faith.
Such a law will mean that miners
will not have to go, at great expense,
to distant land offices, and wait for
indefinite periods for the slow process
of departmental red tape in Wash
ington. It will mean convenience
and economy for the miners, and thus
the encouragement of the mining
industry in Alaska, or wherever the
law is made to apply.
In the speeches that Mr. IJunnell
will make in Fairbanks and on the
creeks, he will outline his ideas, and
he has announced that he is open
for suggestions from the people at all
times.
It is only the narrow, biased per
son who will take snap judgment of
a candidate before seeing or hearing
him, and every voter who wants to
do his full duty should make it a
point lo see and hear Mr. Bunnell
while he is here.—Fairbanks Citizen.

AN APPEAL TO SOCIETY WOMEN.
About half the population are wo
men. This half never goes to war.
It is the man who is the destroyer.
The woman creates, conserves. She
brings up children. He cuts down
men. She lights the candles of life.
He blow's them out.
The most efficient factor in ending
war will be the coming of women in
to class consciousness. The feminist
movement throughout the world is
bringing this to pass.
I have called the laboring man to
organize against war, to strike against
ivory-headed rulers who will not
abandon militarism for law.
I have urged the bankers to cut the
money-nerve of battling nations, since
banks prosper only as the people pros
! per.
1 now call .upon the women of tin?
civilized world to unite and stop the
hideous hell-broth of destruction now
bubbling.
How can this be done?
John Huskin has told you. He said
that "if every lady in the upper class
es of the civilized world would simply
vow that while any cruel war pro
ceeds she will wear black—a mute's
black—W’ith no jewel, no ornament,
no excuse for evasion into prettiness
—1 tell you again no war would last
a week.”
There is sound sense in tHis. It
would show that you do care, and that
you want all the world to see that you
care.
It would bring home to the hearts
of men that war, for women, is as
hideous and hated as a pest.
It would mean that the glory and
tinsel of war are past, and that we
know it now' as a stupid, expensive
and brutish way of settling disputes.
Let the women of America go into
mourning! What a silent, tremendous
appeal to the people of Europe!
And, more especially, let the wo
men of society, they who set the
styles, they who dress and whose
ways are held up before the multi
tude in the Sunday newspapers and
the magazines, let them for once re
alize their responsibility, that they at
least can do something, the only thing
perhaps that will save the world.
if, instead of burning peasants’
houses and mangling the men chil
dren of women of low degree, war
smashed your china and slaughtered
your offspring, would you go on with
your dancing, and still beautify your
selves and play at precedence?
No. You would shut yourselves up,
put on the rags of woe, and even if
helpless you would voice by your
habiliments the dumb protest of your
misery.
This war is no foreign, far-off thing.
It is a hideous outbreak of barbarity,
the assassination of civilization; it If
the sword piercing the breast of a
hundred thousand Marys.
Women of high society, for the first
time in your lives, perhaps, you have
an opportunity to help the world, to
bring mad rulers back to reason.
Put on black! Refuse to adorn
yourself! Engage in no feastings nor
revelry so long as the Red Death
stalks.—Dr. Frank Crane.
It seems to be difficult these days
to work up much political enthusiasm
in this neck o’ woods. The legisla
tive candidates do not seem to be
much on the move, although a lot of
Cordovans are anxiously looking for
ward to the expected visit of Al.
White, the whirlwind campaigner of
Valdez.— Cordova Alaskan.
