Representative Gardner was right when he told congress that this coun
try should prepare for war and keep prepared.
The people of this country seem to think that war and peace are mat
ters of sentiment—that if a country says it loves you it will be your friend
and vice versa. Ihe fact really is that nation building is a business just as
much a- running a grocery store. It i- rather more in the nature of finan
ciering, when one comes to consider it. Vs a financier is taught to believe
that all methods are justifiable it the} do not lead to the penitential} so are
the governments ot the powers full} agreed that all methods are justifiable
if they do not lead to defeat.
There is not one of those self-styled virtuous powers that is not toda}
keeping a subject people iu bondage. As a cold matter ot fact a power tan
onl} be great b} the crushing of smaller nations—by the enslaver} ot people
who are ttn> weak to defend themselves. In all the history of the world there
is no more ruthless example of the crushing ot the weaker than either one
of the great nations now at war i- guilty of. And this crushing slavery is in
flicted on white people a- well as black. Russia. Germany and Austiia have
plunged their arms to the shoulder- in the butcher} id the 1 olish nation.
Britain ha- wrenched freedom from the Boers. Trance has lived up to her
motto of liberty, fraternity and equality by drowning in their blood the lib
ert.v ot Vlgeria and Tunis. The history of them all only teaches that with
them might i- right and that old} a strong right arm can furnish protection
from their deadlv clutch. The country which is not prepared to assert its
rights b> force is no longer able to assert its rights at all. Writing on the
present war 'Theodore Roosevelt sav- that it teaches thv lesson that a treat}
i- no longer binding unless it i- hacked by the power to make it so. I his
mean- that the honor, as it is called, of great nations no longer exists in fact.
They will not consider treaties binding and they will not consider justice
binding.
It i> well known that South America has been tempting the powers of
Europe for many years. The taking of territory in the southern half of the
continent would, of course, mean that this nation will be placed politically
in a position similar to that of the powers of Europe at present. In other
words the l nited States will then have to arm to pro tint herself while she
need only now arm for prevention of the evil, lo let a great European power
get a foothold on this continent would be no less than letting another power
mobilize her armies on the frontier.
The taking of the islands in the Pacific by Japan has not been accomplish
'd as a pastime. They were practically worthless to Germany in the present
war as Germany has not enough ships in that ocean to make a base worth
bothering with. It such is the case there seems to be no reason that Japan
should take them temporarily. If Japan really wishes to hold them only for
a while to whom will she give them?
The world knows that Japan wants some islands in that part of the
Pacific wean and has wanted them for some time. It is even known that
she wants the Philippines or the Hawaiian islands and it is hardly likely
that she will now give up what she has taken from Germany.
The present war shows only too clearly that a powerful navy is neces
rarv in these days of overseas commerce if a nation must hold its own. It is
not enough to he able to prevent the enemy from landing on your shores. Not
only must you keep your country clear but you must keep your ocean high
ways clear. Gardner is surely right.
NEWS FROM ALL FARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
FAIRI5AXKS—From the Koyukuk.
the Times received a petition yester
day, setting forth a number of reasons
why that district should have a repre
sentative in the legislature during the
next session, and requesting that some
party here put the name of O. 11. Wil
liams on the ticket. The petition was
prepared by a committee of three, se
lected by a public convention held at (
Wiseman on the 15rd day of August.
I.OS AXGKLKS—Colonel William
T. Perkins, of Seattle, and a former
Alaskan, is here in connection with
the recently reorganized Pacific Kelp
Mulch company manufacturers of a
potash fertilizer from kelp, of which
company he is one of the moving spir
its. He was once candidate for (lov
er nor of Alaska.
FAIRBANKS—As a shock to the
tou n came the news last evening of
the death of Mrs. Peter McMullen, a
wellknown resident of Fairbanks, who
had lived in the North since girlhood.
Mrs. McMullen was apparently as well
as ever yesterday morning when her
husband left home at 7 o’clock, but an
hour later she was seized with inter
nal pains, which, as it developed later,
VOTE FOR
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters oi me 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 of 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 elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered 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
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and 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,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

caused her death.
FAIRBANKS—
“Tolovana, Sept. 18, 1914.
“L. T. Erwin, Marshal, Fairbanks.
“Both native prisoners jumped !
overboard from the steamer Tanana,
attempting to commit suicide. Old
Tobe rescued alive, but Old Jimmy
drowned. Body was recovered and is
in custody.
“WOOD, Deputy Marshal.’
The foregoing wire was received
yesterday by the marshal’s oflice, and
is self-explanatory. The two Indian
prisoners referred to were indicted at
Ruby for murders supposed to have
been committed on the lower river,
and were on their way to Fairbanks to
await trial.
Many Juneau people, especially the
old timers from the interior, are inter
ested in the news of the strike in
Broad Pass. Specimen of the rock has
been brought to Seward showing
specks of gold and one report stated
that men were pounding gold from a
ledge with a mortar.
The existence of the dykes has been
known to some of the old miners for
years. But with no chance of transpor
tation in sight then and the lure of
placer and quicker returns before
them, they did not deem it worth
while to locate. With the prospect of
the government road being built there
however, the ledges may prove the
formation of a big camp; then again
they may not.—Juneau Dispatch.
CORDOVA, Oct. 1—Toni Papas, the
Turkish Greek who shot and robbed
his partner Milt Angelo Velisaris was
arraigned this morning before U. S.
Commissioner A. J. Adams, and bound
over to court. The charge was shoot
ing with intent to kill. By reason of
failure to furnish $5,000 bail bond, he
remains in jail. At the hearing he
admitted both the shooting and the
robbery, but contended that the shoot
ing was done in self defense, claiming
that Velisaris first shot at him twice.
