NEUTRALS’ SEA RIGHTS.
On several occasions recently Brit
ish warships have stopped neum,
vessels bound to neutral ports ai,o
have taken from them Austrian une
German reservists, who were on theli
way home to enter the armies of
their own countries. These actions of
ttie British ships show that the ex
pectation confidently entertained, af
ter the conclusion of the Trent affair,
that Great Britain would accept th6
American views of the rights of neu
trals is doomed to disappointment.
to eat iintuin adheres to the idea that
neutral rights mean one thing when
Great Britain is the neutral, but quite
a different thing when Great Britain
is a belligerent and some other coun
tries are neutrals.
On November 8, 1861, the British
mail steamer Trent was overhauled
by the American man-of-war San
Jacinto, between Havana and St.
Thomas and two confederate com
missioners on their way to England,
Mason and Slidell, were taken off her
and brought as prisoners into an
American port.
There was a bitter resentment over
this in England. The British made
a peremptory demand for a release
of the prisoners and an apology for
the attack upon a neutral vessel. For
a time the two countries were on the
verge of war. Despite public opinion
in this country, which demanded that
the prisoners be held, Secretary Sew
ard ordered their release and placed
it squarely on the ground that Eng
land, in contending for neutral rights
in this case, had reached the ground
upon which the United States had
always stood, and that he accepted
the British contention because by so
doing he was “really defending and
maintaining not an executive British
interest, but an old, honored and
cherished American cause, upon prin
ciples laid down by Jefferson and
Madison.”
American writers on International
law have said that the Trent case
"has been of use to the world for
'committing Great Britain to the side
'of neutral rights at sea." The com
mitment Is not very much In evidence
In the present work.—Ex.
SEED 8HORTAGE.
One of the singular developments
of the war Is the fact brought to
light that this country has been de
pendent upon Europe for a consider
able share of the vegetable seeds used
by our farmers and market garden
ers. It Is announced, on what seems
to be credible authority, that as a
result of the cutting off of trade with
Europe there will be but limited sup
plies of beets, spinach, cauliflower
and parsnips grown in this country
nex* year, owing to the impossibility
o* getting a sufficient supply of seed.
This should remind the people of
Western Washington of the fact that
,tere Is a very profitable industry, al
•eady in existence here, which is cap
able of very large expansion. Many
years ago some of the foremost seed
houses of this country learned that In
Western Washington Ideal conditions
of soil and climate were presented
for the growing of vegetable seeds,
particularly mose seeus which urac
two years to mature.
There are a few farmers on the
lower Sound who have for a quarter
of a century been engaged In growing
seeds for those seed houses, whose
distributive territory covers the whole
United States. The pioneers In this
Industry have grown rich at It, but
they have found few Imitators or com
petitors In the field which has proved
so profitable to them.
Perhaps the seed shortage which
the country is to face. If the authori
ties are correct, will stimulate other
enterprising farmers to enter the field
of seed growing here where condi
tions are so distinctively favorable for
the Industry.—Seattle Post-Intelligen
cer.
WHALE LEATHERS.
Now is the time to realize on that
claim of a few years ago that the
whales could supply the world with
leather. It has been figured out from
the war activities of Europe, the si
lence of the tanneries and the shoe
factories over there and the demands
Of this country that Americans must
make 14,000,000 pairs of shoes a
month right along to supply the world.
There Is a considerable supply of
leather for the present, but the hunt
for more must be fast and furious if
the shoes are all to be made of leath
er. South America and Australia of
fer many hides, but not enough by
hundreds of thousands, and they are
far away, with the ships mostly idle.
Vote For
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close
of the mining and business season at this placer camp, to
come before you in person, I find it necessary to make
tli is announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial
Legislature, from the Third Division, at the
Election on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
office, THEN VOTE FOR ME. Yours very truly,
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914. GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

Important products of hides to be in
great demand. Harness will be need

to save the hides of the thousands of
horses killed in the battles or the
leather goods they fall under. The
cooler heads and hands In the Unit

supplies and provide themselves with
the materials also, and they will get
larger profits for their energy If they

Says Collier’s Weekly: In England
the war has brought to poverty a
large number of persons w'ho were
formerly well-to-do. Their tragedy is
the result of a calamity no one could
foresee. No parent can be certain that
his children may not some day come
to poverty. There is no guarantee
against it. The best insurance is to
teach them to work. Probably the
best asset any youth can have is the
ability to cultivate the soil. That is
the most permanent and universal of
trades.
