Will Support The
People’s Policies
BECAUSE
ALL statutes should be permanent and bene
ficial to the whole people.
LABOR is entitled to Just and equitable en
actments in order that it may share in
the profits it creates.
WOMEN must be considered in the making of
new laws for the Territory in order that
their interests may be guarded in a fair
and equal manner.
HAVING resided in the Territory for the
greater part of my life I feel competent
to legislate for the development of our
vast northern country.
I AM confident the people of the Third Di
vision will never have cause to regret
casting their ballot for me at the polls
next November.
THE many changes that will require the
attention of lawmakers under the fast
growing resources of our vast Territory
must be met with good judgment and
precision.
EVERY voter is most respectfully solicited
to give the questions of this campaign
his undivided attention before casting his
ballot on Tuesday, November 3, 1914, and
co-operate with me In bringing about
beneficial legislation for the Third Divis
ion and the Territory in general, and
promise, if elected, to represent yon and
to work for the best Interests of all the
people. Your support is solicited at the
election to be held Tuesday, November,
3, 1914.

RECEPTION WAS
WELL ATTENDED
Large Crowd Welcome New Paetor
and Family—Club Room* and Li
brary To Be Revived.
The reception tendered to Rev. Ed
ward H. Molony and his family by
the congregation of the Episcopal
church last night was well attended,
large numbers of the townspeople tak
ing advantage of the opportunity to
become acquainted with the new rec
tor and welcome him and his fam
ily to Valdez. Tha reception was a
very happy affair and lasted until a
late hour. Mr. and Mrs. Molony have
two children, Molly and Sheila.
During the evening Mr. Molony ad
dressed the gathering and outlined
some of the work he hoped to be able
to accomplish here. He comes from
Interior Alaska and is well informed
as to the great need of an abundance
of literature by Alaskans when in the
hills, as well as during their leisure
hours In town. He commented upon
the cordial reception which was being
given him by the people here from
every walk In life.
Mr. Molony believes the work re
quiring most immediate attention is
that of getting the clubrooms into
shape in order that they may serve
the purpose for which they were in
tended. Everyman’s Club, during the
past few months when it has had
no head, has been permitted to be
come impaired, and many books from
the library are missing. Men are con
stantly stopping Mr. Molony and in
forming him that they will return the
books now that the library Is to be
revived. Mr. Molony is delighted to
find such a fine library here and be
lieves it to be a strong testimonial
of the energy of Rev. Ziegler that 3,
000 books should be accumulated. The
books are well selected, embracing
the works of the most popular auth
ors, scientific works and fiction.
Mrs. Molony, who is a trained li
brarian, has kindly offered to put the
library in order and can be greatly
aided in the work if those having
books will return them as soon as
possible. The club rooms will be
lighted by electricity and made com
fortable. Mr. Molony’s experience in
the interior has also taught him the
necessity of securing magazines and
other reading matter for the miners
in the hills, and he promises that this
branch of the work will receive prompt
attention.
There is a debt of $400 still standing
against the building but that will soon
be wiped out. Eagle ball has been se
cured for Saturday evening, October
24, for an entertainment. The pro
gram is being prepared and will be
announced later. It is believed that
the people of Valdez will gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity
of assisting in the work of providing
a place where men may spend their
le’sure hours amidst pleasant sur
roundings.

SOUND BUSINESS MAXIMS.
Us* Your Ability and Taka No 8took
In the Law of Chanea.
Most men who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but
ability and determination, a combina
tion which recognizes no man made
limitations.
Any kind of work Is better than Idle
ness, which is directly responsible for
most of the unhappiness In thin world.
Idleness Is a dangerous thing. It
may grow into a habit that might stick
to you after you get back in harness,
and the man who loafs on his Job is
only fooling himself.
Eternal, intelligent effort is the price
of commercial growth, and where there
is no progression there is bound to be
retrogression. Business is something
like aeroplanlng—to stop is to drop,
and to drop is generally to bust
If I had an enemy and wanted to get
even with him I could wish him noth
ing worse than to land In a soft Job
and get the loafing habit. It would
only bo a question of time before be or
the Job petered out, and the longer he
held on the worst off he’d be in the
end, for there is a law of compensa
tion which somehow or other makes us
work in old age for the time we waste
In youth or suffer If we can’t make
good.
Pin your faith to this law of com
pensation, but don’t take any stock in
the law of chance; there’s no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up In the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually is throw
ing dice with fnte. Many a good dog
never got a decent bone until bis teeth
were gone.—Maurice Switzer in Les
lie’s.
GOLF WITH ANY OLD CLUB.
Ha Wat a Shy Man, Too, but Surprised
the Clever Amateur.
He was standing looking Idly round
him when I came forward to the
starting tee at Blackhlll golf course,
a little dapper man, whom any one
would have guessed could not play for
nuts. Perhaps that latter Idea Is what
caused me to ask If he meant to play
a round. I should love to give some
body a proper whacking.
“I would like a round,” he said, al
most shyly, “but 1 have no clubs.”
This was not a chance to be missed.
I would let him use mine. How pleas
ed he was In hlB simple way. Any
old club would do for every shot
"Well, well,” I crooned to myself; “If
the man is out for a thorough drub
bing I am the last to deny him it”
He took a dirty bnll from his pocket,
made an easy sort of swipe at It, ahd
I have never seen a ball so eager to
get to the hole as that one was. His
method of attack seemed to consist of
one or two iron shots and a putt 1
will vouch for it that he deliberately
allowed me to win a hole or two. I
have never felt so completely humiliat
ed In all my life, yet be was quiet In
offensive and almost shy.
"You are a brilliant golfer,” 1 gush
ed ns we made for the nineteenth hote.
“Oh, ay, 1 ha’e to be!” he said quiet

work!”
Why don’t those professionals try to
look more like real golfers?—Glasgow

Mules and War.
Along all the frontiers of the world
wherever there Is a war there Is a de
mand for the male. Compared with
him the much vaunted war horse Is a
vanishing figment of the past His
strength, his sureness of foot his wari
ness of eye, his ability to endure hard
ship and hard work on little food and
with little care, have made him Invalu
able as a campaigner, whether in des
erts or mountains. The mule has seen
the camel and the elephant disappear
from armies. He may see the horse
vanish. He has seen the motorcycle
and the motorcar come In. He may
see the aeroplanes numbered by thou
sands. But It Is not likely he will ever
see himself superseded In his own line
of work. There may be mules without
war, but probably never a war without
mules.—New York World.
A Chip of ths Old Bloak.
"Father,” said the student, "l want

"Talk to your mother, son,” directed
the father, who was reading the sport

“Mother,” said the son, ”1 made a
mistake when I elected chemistry. But
It is not too lute to change even yet. 1
want to tike astronomy Instead."
The mother searched the eyes of her
son sharply. Then she said:
"Nope. You’ll have to think up some
better excuse for staying outat night!”
