We are already beginning to regard the war in Europe as something to
which we are accustomed. Three months ago we should have looked upon the
possibility of such events as out of the question, but now that they are here*
they seem to be nothing above the ordinary. How calmly we read ot thousands
of men being killed. >\e hardly pause to consider that the killing of men is
the conversion into decomposed flesh of what is called the noblest work of
God.
Each of us looks upon our lives as something beyond and above everything
else created. To u«. the little workings of our corporeal machinery surpass
the phenomena of the heavens themselves. I he beating of the little organ
called the heart is the universe so far as we are concerned. A pain in the head,
or in the tooth, i- greater than the sufferings of all the rest of mankind put
together. And yet there are thousands of such little flsehly machines stopp
ed working every day in the European conflict. That is what the dispatches
mean when they say thousands have heen lost. I»ut who cares so long as the
machines which each of us thinks he controls keeps working like an old clock.
That is life and death.
Maybe the public will view newspapers more generounly after the pre
sent war. For many years newspapers ha\e been trying to show that it is not
right to publish everything and the public have hastily condemned them, but
the lesson of the reticence of the governments at war will probably not be lost.
Fach of those governments evidently wants to tell only—what it wants to
tell. The victory of the other side is a bitter tale and no one wants to tell
tales that are disagreeable, therefore, we hear practically nothing but what
each government likes to tell us. What a blessing it is to be able to read be
tween the lines.
Seward i" the one town in Alaska that has something to boast of and
something bigger to expect. In the good old camps that we have all lived in
around the territor.' there i> ever present the ghost of decay. Those towns
are pleasant towns and places which we can never forget even when they fall
away. Mach of them has some associations which recur to us at all times and
bring pleasant recollections and their dullness is a matter ot regret, but if
one can follow the advice to forget the past and look to the* furture there is
nothing but hope for those who live in the place which is and always will be
the gateway to the territory.

George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of 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 Dmsion, at the Election on Iuesday, 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.

EXPLOSION KILL TWELVE
PEOPLE IN ENGLAND
BIRMINGHAM, England, Oct. 5.—
Twelve men were killed today in the
mine of the Woodward Iron company
eighteen miles northeast of this city.
The occurrence was caused by an ex
plosion whose origin is still something
of a mystery.
BERLIN, October 6—A number of
older professors of the University
of Goettingen are reported to have
accepted positions as rural letter car
riers to relieve the loss of men in this
crvice during the war. Great num
bers of members of the students’ as
sociation have gone to the front.
Practically all of the stndents’ “Ger
mania” in Berlin is in the field, includ
ing even the ‘‘Alte Herren’’ or former
students.
BERLIN, October 6—The following
despatch from Geneva appears in a
number of the German papers: For
three weeks extensive preparations
have been made in the Louvre in Paris
for safeguarding the art treasures
there against bombs thrown from Zep
pelin balloons. Most of the paintings
are being packed away in iron boxes.
The “Venus of Milo” and the “Mona
Lisa” were locked up in steel vaults.
The Greek saloon with the master
pieces of Phidias is laid out entirely
with bags of sand. The upper stories
of the Louvre were cleared of their
contents and changed into a military
hospital from which now flutters the
Red Cross fllag. Numerous paintings
were removed from the Luxembourg
Museum to the old Seminaire.”
BERLIN, October 6—The WolfT
Bureau says it is reported from Pal
ermo by the German Charge d’ affair
es at Tangier, that he and the mem
bers of his legation were handed their
passports by the Moroccan govern
ment on August ID, and forcibly tak
en on board the French cruiser Cas
sard, which conveyed them toPal
ermo. The WolfT Bureau despatch
points out that this action is a breach
of international law, since Tangier is
the capital of the international zone
in which the diplomatic represent “a
tives of the signatory powers of the
Algeciras conference still excercise
control. “This arbitrary act,” says
the WollT Bureau despatch, “was pos
sible only with the consent of Eng
land, in view of the location of Gibr
altar.”
