MOLLYCODDLEISM IN ALASKA
Are the people aware that if any pure and holy citizen took it into his
head he could have every blessed thing, almost, in the shape ot amusement
prohibited in Alaska on Sundays?
He could compel every miner, who comes in for a rest irom the hills to
go to bed or hang around the edges of the city or the corners like a pickpock
et.
He could send the whole homeless population to the madhouse or drive
them out of the territory to avoid madness
It is time for the people of Alaska to take off their pinafores. They have
>pent years in th»- northern land to develope it. They have met all the hard
ships and all the disappointments that are the portion of those who try to
wrench new lands from the wilderness. They have worked like men and suf
fered like men and they have achieved what men might be proud of, but right
today some sleek-faced Pharisee in Washington with his watery eyes to Hu
skies and, maybe, hi- hands in our pocket- can tell Alaskans that they can go
to -ee moving pictures when he says so, and only then.
That same unspeakable Pecksniff would even prevent us from eating
iand> on Sunday or smoking a cigarette. He could almost, like the czar of
Kussia, make you go to church. He can send you to jail for showing a picture,
even an instructive picture. Why, according to the so-called law he could have
you imprisoned for having a game of pool. I nder section 2021 of the compiled
law> of Alaska. Hod bless the mark, he can close about every sort of amuse
ment and make every man in Maska stand idle like a scratching post with
his mouth open catching tlie- and worshipping the maker by swearing at the
late that compelled him to spend a Sunday in this sanctified territory ot ours.
It is easy, and usually u-ele-s to condemn in words. To remove a griev
ance -ome action of a more tangible nature is required. The newspapers of
Maska. one and all. should take up the question and endeavor to direct the
thought- of the people to the monstrous insolence and impudence ot those
who in their self-impo.-cd guardianship of the people of the territory insult
those people almost in every action they undertake. The people should meet
and tell Washington in no unmistakable manner that the people of Alaska want
no hypocritical guidance from those who consider themselves our guardian
angels by virtue of the votes they got by wire-pulling. Efforts have been
made by people calling themselves Ma-kans to make the rest of the people of
the territory look as black as satan and some asinine old he-feniales back
in Washington take their words before those of the men who have made Alas
ka what it is. andthe re-ult is that we must observe the Sabbath by
standing around the corners biting our nails.
It is time to tell those old fogey jelly fishes that the people of this ter
ritory can blaze a trail to heaven for themselves as they have blazed the trails
of the territory which seems at least, to have served our masters as a ground
on which to practice their hypocrisy. Let the people of Alaska take steps to
throw off the disgusting yoke of molly coddleism. I he present administration
at Washington will listen to common sense and only common sense can save
this territory from going to the perdition which is held up before us as a bug
aboo to send us to bed like a lot of puling kids.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Frank Evans, the red-headed team
ster, went insane last evening and cut
his own throat, took a few unsuccess
ful slashes at Tony Carlson, chasing
him an l Lew Bowman through the
streets but w;u> unable to catch them;
ran amuck in Louie’s Cafe and finally
was hit over the head by Deputy Mar
shal Al. Dowling and put out for the
count and was hauled otT to the bas
tile. He is now in the hospital with a
dozen stitches in his throat and a little
of the booze soaked out.—Valdez
Prospector.
Seattle will reciprocate for the
wealth that the growing North will
pour into its lap. according to Dr. Al
fred H. Brooks, head of the geological
survey of the territory.
A student of Northern conditions
for years, Dr Brooks declared recently
that the Sound’s principal benefit from
the establishment of the government’s
railroads in Alaska would be derived
from the establishment of steel mills
on Puget Sound and vicinity.

According to word received from
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 this announcement through the
msdium of tha 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 thii office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE K. GOSHAW.
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914.
For Senator
Rampart, the new dredge which is to
operate on Mi nook creek next sum
mer is in Seattle now, and will leave
for the North within a few days.
DAWSON—Nearly $1,000 in virgin
gold dust was stolen from two pokes
belonging to Ed. Peterson, a miner
from the Koyukuk, who boarded the
steamer Yukon at Heaver landing on
his way to Dawson. Detective work
by the captain and purser resulted in
obtaining a confession from one of the
waiters. All but sixteen ounces were
recovered. Peterson left for the coast.
FAIRBANKS—By a deal put
through yesterday afternoon, Fair-,
banks lodge, No. 1392, Loyal Order of
Moose, became the owner of the large
hall located on Fourth avenue, comm
monly known as “Tammany Hall.”
The organization pure, used the build
ing with the intention of transforming
it into a lodge building, and it will be
furnished and remodeled throughout
as quickly as possible.
Funds are being contributed by
Pawsonites for the purchase of a hos
pital ship which is to be presented to
the British admiralty for use during
the European war.
FAIRBANKS—Following a letter
received from the commissioner of the
general land office at Washington,
August 24, Chief Clerk Kirstein of
the local office a week ago notified the
officials of the town of Chena that
they had sixty days in which to com
ply with the law or lose their townsite.
The Washington letter as a matter of
fact ordered only a thirty days notice
to Chena to show cause why the site
should not be cancelled ami placed in
the territory withdrawn by President
Wilson, April 21st, last at the time of'
the other withdrawals along the lines
of proposed government railways in
the territory. It sems that Chena’s
town trustee, Martin Harrail, never
properly qualified in spite of notices
from the land office.
