SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, DUG ,
Several small communities in Alaska have lost the
right to vote in the past because oi oversight by officials
who in most instances arc not to blame. It would seem to
be tlic duty of some one in permanent authority to re
mind officials of what is to be done when the time cones
near for doing it. Changes occur so olten in Alaska of
ficialdom that such errors are hound to happen. It is all
verv well for some people to say that a man would not
be asked to lose his vote lor such a cause, hut, as the man
said, it lias happened. The w hole elect ion might hinge on
the vote of one district and it is certain that a contest
would result in the ease of the Delegate election, anyhow,
if it could be proved that the requirements were not tul
filled. However, the law seems to he very plain in the mat
ter and no wriggling of a technical nature can hide that
one verv great fact.
The European war may be quite an occurrence and
some people think it is. Uu^sia is said to have lost six
million men and the other nations have also had some
what severe losses. 1 here have been quite a lot ol human
beings slaughtered and there have been other tortures
and suffering which the censors have hidden. 1 he maps ot
Europe and other places are being altered. It is a big
war, a really big event, but for the next few days it
must give way to a far greater struggle. Boston plays
Brooklyn today and some more days for the championship
of the world. The people over in Europe are only playing
for the championship of Europe and some of Asia. Mar
quard now steps into the shoes ol doll re lor the nonce and
Shore has ousted Hindenburg. Indeed for the next few
days the kaiser and the czar must abdicate. We’re too
busy.
%
Speaking again about the changes made in the busi
ness houses of Seward, the restlessness reminds one of the
bird that fusses around Indore settling down for a long
stay. It is so much like the restless working on a new
«
dwelling preparing it for a permanent stay.
Theodore Roosevelt has shown himself in recent years
to be nothing more than an opportunist of the most glar
ing kind. He has even deserted the party which he creat
ed. We have many politicians in Alaska and ail over the
Tinted States who have no party but the party they expect
to be uppermost. Such men should not be placed in con
trol of the government of anything.

ILLINOIS TO HAVE
EUGENIC'S LAW IF
OFFIC1ALS CAN
CHICAGO, Oct. 6. — Illinois is to
have a real eugenics law if a tight
tjeguu today to that end and backed
by prominent members of the bench
and munipal and state leaders is
successful in the next session of the
state legislature.
*
Half wits and other mental defect
ives are aimed at in particular, while
I
restrictions against the marriage of
the physically unfit also will bo in
corporated in the proposed law.
The failure of former eugenics laws1
to withstand the constitutional tes*
in court, will not deter the advocates
of the plan, who will frame a hi1! ac
cording to these decisions.
