THE MEXICANS have one advantage over the backward European pow
ers—they can start a war every week and never short ot an excuse. The
kaiser and the czar and crude people of that description
MEXICO seem to be overwhelmed by the task of proving that the
other fellow was the cause of hostilities but the Maderos,
th< Huertas ami the Villas declare war on the simple pretext of putting the
other side out of the jobs, ami in this, it must be said, they are more honest
than the effete nations of the old world.
However, if Villa really goes to war the unfortunate republic is in for a
bad time. The United States must either stand by and see it constantly
squabbling or it must go in further than \ era Ciuz. In either way the pros
pect is unpleasant. Uncle Sam’s nerves must be of the iron kind if he tar
stand the constant row at his side and there is nothing in it for him to stop
it. So, what will he do?
Nations are made up of individuals and as individulas are the nation will.
A peculiar little example of the Mexican character was furnished in >ester
dav’s paper by the story that one Mexican stabbed another, according to the
reports, because one worked harder than his neighbor. Two Americans
would probably settle the matter by a punch in the eye or a threat to hit
one another with a club, as the American nation would settle a difficulty by
©ending a deputy marshal to run in some agitator against the peace. A
Mexican consummates an affair by sticking a knife in the party of the second
part and the Mexican nation, instead of going to the polls to vote the oppos
ing side out of the jobs, starts a revolution. American civilization is founded
on ballots and Mexican civilization is founded on bullets.
THE WOMEN* will vote this year in the elections of delegate and mem
bers of the territorial legislature and it is interesting to speculate on what
the consequences of the female suffrage will be. Speaking absolutely with
out bias it would seem that the votes of the women will ffitrl to the votes
given to the candidates of the regular parties. Mr. Wickersham receives a
very large proportion of his strength from men who are out in the hills and
who have never given a thought to regular politics because they have no
ambition to get jobs and if such is the case it leads to the conclusion that he
will receive only a minority of the women votes, because, there is no use in
deriving it. women do. a-' a rule, and will vote the way their hu*bands vote,
and the majoritj of the men in the hills live in a state of single blessedness or
cussedness. *
The voting of the women is sure to have one very beneficial effect on the
polities of the territory. They wi 1 ’ not vote for socialist agitators. For one
reason; socialists are usually made up of the unattached nomads, neces
sarily. And for another reason; Women are constitutionally opposed to un
healthy and bizarre doctrines and will generally do as their consciences tell
them, in spite of the fact that that their hubbies very often supply that con
science.
In the territory there are about thirty thousand white people. The women
can hardly form more than a tenth of that number but as most of them are
Americans they will make a very strong voting body if they all go to the
polls.

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, 1 find it necessary to make this announcement through the
mediom 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 ve>y truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

Sound mining man, died last week at

Pat McGonnigal had a frightful
slide down a mountain side in Yankee

to Juneau badly bruised, by P. E.
Early on the Pacific Sunday. The in
jured man slipped and never stopped
rolling and tumbling until he had as
cended fully 500 feet. He had no

He is resting easy today under the
care of Dr. L. 0. Sloan.—Empire.

ing towed in a small fishing boat by
one of the Tee Harbor Packing com

Far from relatives and surrounded
only by strangers, Owen Maylin, a
man aged from 55 to 60, passed away
at the hospital in Whitehorse on
Wednesday, September 2, the cause
of death being cancer. The deceased
was a pioneer of the early days at

is in the hospital today. He was en
gaged in doing the assessment work

Chuck properties, and had put in a
shot which failed to explode. He then
put another shot in the same hole anc
fired it, expecting it to discharge the
one that had missed. . Instead it ap
parently only relighted the fuse, for
when Houghton went into the place
where the work was being done, the
old charge exploded, smashing him
with the flying rock.

from Mr. McDougal.—Nome Nugget.
