It is proboble that more interest was manifested throughout the l/nited
Mates yesterday in the result of the game between Boston and Philadelphia
than there was in the battle between the Germans and the allies.
At the time of the death of William Gladstone, the man who democratized
Britain, there was a game of cricket. On the afternoon of his death there was
more space given to an account of a great innings played by a certain cricket
er than there was to the passing of the greatest Englishman of the generation.
A few days ago Lord Roberts, once commander in chief of the British ar
my. condemned bitterly the men who would indulge in games while others
were fighting and dying for their country on the continent.
Some few years ago Kudyard Kipling, in a poem meant to draw attention
to the lack of preparedness of the English people for war, called the crick
eters and footballers “Flannelled fools at the wicket and wretched oofs at the
goal.**
And today Britain is in a great war on which her very existence as a
great empire depends and she is forced to depend on untrained men to meet
the powerful German foe.
Heaven may never let this country not'd a great trained army but all
things are possible in this respect.
The question is whether a great passion for sports might not cause people
to forget things vthich are more important.
Games are the finest things in the world. They brighten men and train
them physically and mentally and. perhaps, after all there is no use in borrow
ing trouble from the future. But what a fine thing it would be if some of the
time given to ordinary sports was given to preparing for the day “when the
arums begin to beat."
When the fall comes in Mask a. That is when the first bleak touch of
winter is felt, with its gloom at times and the snow on the mountains it is
natural for us to begin to think of the lighted streets of cities outside. It is
then >ou hear people say they wished they were on their way.
But the same old feeling comes with the early touch of winter every
where. There are two seasons of the year when the nomadic spirit of our sav
age and roaming ancestors takes possession of us. One of them is the early
winter and the other is the early spring. The difference is that in the be
ginning of winter wt» want to get away from where we are and in the begin
ning of spring wt* want to get ^ome place else. That seems to be a distinction
without a difference but there is quite a difference if we only pause to weigh it.
I he people of Alaska would never have been in Alaska if they didn’t have
something of the wild geese in their makeup. They would never have left
home if the spring sun hod not tempted them to seek fresh fields and past
ures new and all the beautiful variety which travel seems to offer in fine
weather, and they would never leave Alaska if the gloom of early winter had
not convinced them that any other part of the world would be brighter—that
fields far off were much greener and fresher.

CORDOVA—Alaska friends will be
surprised to learn that George Bald

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 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 w’hole 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 i
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

So far politics have been rather
quiet but quite a number of names
have been suggested as possible can
didates for legislature honors. Among
those who have been prominently
mentioned are for the Senate, John
Sundback, for several years clerk of
the District Court; Frank Aldrich,
who served in the lower house; Cader
Powell, former U. S. marshal for this;
District; Andy Anderson, present
member of the city council and Jack
Douglas, the proprietor of the bowling
Alley.
Those mentioned for the lower
house are, Bob Sommers, Chas. Brown
Jr., Wm. Eddy, Barry Keown, Charles
Jones and W. W. Getchell. This list
is not complete nor is it certain that it
is correct, but all those named have
been mentioned as probable candidat
es and there will undoubtedly be many
more in the field before many days.
