WAR AND CIVILIZATION.
--
In spite of all frenzied partisanship,
says the Boston Transcript, for any
one of the various European causes
may say, there is not the slightest
danger that civilization will be ext'n
guished, which ever party Is the vic
tor in the great war now raging. Civ
ilizations are not made of sugar or of
land. They neither melt, nor are con
sumed in the fires of bd’tle. Histoiy
affords abundant evidence that, while
a given civilization may be more cr
less directly affected and modified by
war, it is not extinguished by war If
it is inherently valuable to the world.
The great wars of the Napoleonic
area come nearer to the present con
test than any others that can be men
tioned. They exercised an influence
on the civilization of their world
which we still feel today, but no
where did they extinguish a civiliza
tion or allow barbarism to triumph
over a higher civic organization. That
was a revolutionary time, and even
the Napoleonic armies had not lost
the instincts of the hosts of the.
French republic. They carried a great
many questions on their bayonets
and wherever they went, they set peo
ple thinking.
It has been said that in some parts
of Europe the only light that pene
trated for centuries was that which
entered through apertures made by
French bayonets. Many things may
be cited in support of the truth of
this proposition. In Spain Napoleon
put down the Inquisition. It was re
vived by the returning Bourbons, but
Spain had learned to think; its mind
had become freer by reason of its ex
perience in war and by its contact
with French soldiers. The Inquisi
tion did not survive its re-establlsh
ment many years, and its claws, while
it still continued its existence, had
lost most of their old-time power. In
Germany the systematic energy of the
French mind leavened the heavy body
of survived medlaevalism, brought
about simplified forms of government
and promoted the spirit of inquiry.
Unconsciously Napoleon stimulated
the growth of nationalism in Ger
many and unintentionally facilitated
the progress of German unity.
EMERGENCY CURRENCY.
The Senate has passed a bill pro
viding for another amendment to the
Aldrich emergency currency law, by
the terms of which thlB emergency
currency can be issued up to 75 per
cent, instead of 30 per cent, of the
par value of the commercial paper up
on which It is based. It passed the
Senate without a roll call and now
goes to the House.
The significance of this action is
that it is a clear indication that the
new federal reserve system is not
to go into Immediate effect, but that
it Is to be postponed until the pres
ent emergency Is entirely over, and
that the present situation is to be
met by the banks of the country op
erating under laws which the new
banking and currency law was fram
ed to supersede.
Of course the situation would have
been different had the new banking
and currency law been permitted to
go into effect as promptly as possible
after it passed congress. Had the
reserve board been created prompt
ly at that time—and there has been
no explanation advanced for the six
months’ delay In naming its members
—the new system would have been
in full working effect and would have
had Its first great test when the war
broke out. The inexcusable delay
found the old system still In effect.
That It stood the test as well as it
did proves conclusively that it was
not so fatally defective as the coun
try had been led to believe.
It Is well at this time to recall the
fact that the crisis was met and met
well under legislation passed by the
Republican party when in control of
the national government, the Aldrich
1)111 for an emergency currencey be
ing the life-saver In this instance.
That bill was simply expanded by
the present congress, its principles
remaining unimpaired. This law and
the work of the New York bankers
carried the country past the crisis.
More was done by Wall street than
by Washington, and the work was
done by men who have been more
hampered than helped by government
interference.—Ex.

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
this 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,

SOLAR ENERGY.
Its Constant Radiation la Lessening
the Mass of Our Sun.
Tbe work of Einstein on tbe principle
of relativity shows that a body which
radiates energy loses a portion of its
mass depending on the energy radiat
ed. It follows that the sun, which
continually radiates energy. Is con
stantly losing mass. M. J. 15osier has
calculated that the sun loses a mass
equal to that of our earth in 30,000,000
years.
If It be assumed that tbe mass thus
lost Is gravitational mass It follows
that tbe length of the year Increases
by six seconds In 1,000,000 years and
that In the same time tbe mean longi
tude of the earth Is affected in such a
way as to produce a variation of one
tenth of a year—that Is, a retardation
of thirty-six days In the seasons.
Such variations are too minute to
be observable. In stellar systems pos
sessing a higher temperature the ef
fect would be much more marked, for
the energy radiated by a body varies
as the fourth power of Its absolute
temperature.
If, as M. Nordmann believes, there
exist stars having a temperature six
or seven times that of our sun their
radiation Is one or two thousand times
as Intense. Thus, if the temperature
of Algol Is 13.800 degrees. It Is calcu
lated that at the end of 2,000 years the
eclipses of Algol suffer a retardation
of about twelve minutes.—Boston Her
ald.
RULE OF THE GLOVE.
Queer Custom of Suspending the Law
In an English Town.
By reason of a curious custom the
people of the old town of Uonlton, in
Devonshire, England, are exempt from
arrest from dawn to sunset of a certain
day of the year. It is while the horse
fair there is In progress that the law is
thus suspended for awhile. The custom
is a survival of a quaint and pictur
esque ceremonial dating from the days
of King Henry III.
At the beginning of the fair the town
crier, in the gorgeous dress of a beadle
of the old days, appears upon the scene
with a pole to the end of which is at
tached a large gilt glove decked with
flowers. Having rung his handbell
three times, the crier announces:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez! The fair is begun.
The glove is up; no man may be ar
rested until the glove is down. God
save the king!”
Each sentence is chorused by the
children standing round, and at the
conclusion they scramble for nuts. The
glove is taken down at sunset—St
Louis Republic.
