SEWARD. ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1013.
The fact that China wants a king again although the people of that
country have risen to the status of more or less popular government shows
that the establishment of a republic does not mean the amelioration of all
political wrongs. A limited monarchy is very often a sort of keystone to
hold the political structure together. The king, as is the case in Britain,
might have no political power but he wields a social influence which is even
more effective in some respects. No matter how much we like the idea of
governing ourselves completely and entirely we often feel that the govern
ment which we elect i* only an upstart affair. We do not and we cannot
have the same respect for the tiling we create as for the thing which has
been created for us and rules us. That is one human failing which makes
itse’f felt in all station* of life. That is why the popular election of judges
is regarded a* threatening respect for the courts. It is a shame to have to
admit it, but it is true.
The climate ot* Seward is now on trial before tin* government of the
United States and it surely is holding up it* end well. Just at this moment
it is proving itself to Ik* the mildest and the finest in Alaska. On this day.
the third of November, 191a, the sun rose with all the brightness and warmth j
that one could hardly expect in Seattle or Portland. Seward, so far as its
climate is taken into account, is no more Alaska than Prince Rupert is. Al
ready some of the people who have been drawn hither by the railroad exeit
ment art showing their disappointment. Having read all the “best informed
works" about Alaska they came expecting to see men dressed in parkas and
mukluks. while dog teams raced out into the blizzards. In their minds’
eyes they saw men walking the streets in snows hoes and skis, but October
came and went and they saw less snow than they could see in Montana.
This was some disappointment but when November came and no snow came
nearer than the mountain peaks they began to unlearn all they had ever
learned of the territory. One disgusted lady declared the other day that
Seward was just like any old town outside. She has discovered for herself
what it is impossible, apparently, to get people outside to understand. Hut
it is a fact

laws were held unconstitutional.

NOME DOG TEAM |
OF106 ANIMALS;
'
Probably the largest dog team ever
witnessed in the north or anywhere
else passed through the streets this
morning on its way to the steamer
Senator. The sight was one unique,
even in this land where the dog team
is an every day utility and the wail
ing malamutcs flourish like unto the
bay tree of old, for this was some
dog team and was composed of one
hundred and si* animals hitched to a
tow line of heavy manila rope at the
end of which was a heavy truck from
the Rowe barns filled with a bevy of
Nome’s fair ones. The huge team
was composed of the animals pur
chased by Lieutenant Haas for ser
vice on the war fields of France and
each animal was in the collar doing
his best to show how he could Rull
before parting to return no more.
As the long string, fully a block in
length passed down Front street
practically every one turned out and
the sti*eet had much of a holiday ap
pearance for a time.—Nugget.

Woman Cries Out
Against the War
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.—“This |
instant!" (Eva Marshall Shontz |
fervidly and dramatically shot the
words at the International Peace con
ference delegates when the convention
opened here today) "58 per cent ol
the habitable globe is swept by war!
"Of the billion, seven hundred and
twenty-one million human beings on
this planet a billion of them are mur
dering each other!
"From August to July the war cost
the world eighteen and a half billion
dollars.
"From August to July, two million
and u quarter human bemgs were
slaughtered by their fellows; and
nearly five million more were butch
ered so they will never be real men
again.
"Such incomprehensible figures!
Such unbelieveable massacre!
"I’ll tell you what it’s coming to
if the United State* follows Europe’s
10-years preparedness for war! It is
coming to death, and destruction for
us.
"America faces a crisis undreamed
of; not only for herself but for the
world. Shall America leave the 1
future a heritage of destruction and
a cataclysm of death.
"If America would give per year
to missions the fifty million dollars
the war costs per day our share of
tho world would be Christianized in
25 years.
• "For thousands of years women
have waited, weeping and desolate,'
for men to quit murdering each other
by the billions. At last we have
Jane Addams and the American wo
men doing something to stop it. Do
I hear woman’s ultimatum ? Do I see
a World Parliament for Peace? Aye.
it is coming!"
