The socialists of Europe have recently acted in a manner which reflects,
the gen test credit on themselves and removes much of the stigma and con
tempt which had been attache*! to the word socialist—they have answer:*!
the tocsin of war and gone out to tight like men for their falherlands.
In times of peace socialists have by their actions engendered in the minds
of the great majority of people the idea that socialism could only exist in
the minds of men who were incapable of any of the nobler sentiments, lhev ,
uttered illimitable quantities of trash about equality and rights of man and
by their weak sentimentality secured the reputation of being nothing more
than a lot of weak and puling sophists. The world despised them. Men who
believed just as much as they in the righteousness of curtailing the power
of private wealth and granting a greater share of the world s goods and op
portunities to the less fortunate of the earth had come to regard the vaporous
speech of socialists the greatest obstacle to the fight for economical freedom.
Even men were afraid to speak the charitable thoughts of their minds lest
they too might receive the opprobrious name of socialists and be place*! out
side the pale of common senso-fcst they too be regarded as sordid mater
ialists to whom country and religion were anathema.
But. war came in Europe. In France, Belgium. Britain Germany and
Austria the bells clanged calling their sons to arms to fight for flag and
fatherland, and. lol from the slums and the soap boxes individuals, who had
crawled with curses against society and governments on their lips, came forth
with their shoulders squared and their heads high in the air to go forward in
the footsteps of their heroic fathers.
If the war in Europe can ever accomplish any good it must do good by re
viving in the hearts of weakening malcontents the ennobling sentiment of
patriotism. How different is the man who mouths against organize*! society
and the hero who lies in a wet trench with shells shrieking around him and
with a rifle in his hand ready to give his blood for the country that gave his
father and mother birth and graves.
The socialists of Europe have done their duty and it may be that the
manhood acquired by a great ordeal will replace their weaknesses, and their
humanitarianism may take a different means of expression and a different
course and they may take an advanced place yet in the march of the army
of real progress.
If you lived in a thousand small towns you will always hear people say
that each is the worst place in the world for backbiting. Every small town
is just like the other small town and in all of them one of the chief pastimes
consists in talking about each other.
But small towns are no worse than large towns in this respect. The
people of small towns are just the same as the people of big towns fundament
ally and all people no matter where they live find a spicy little chat about
their neighbors mighty intertaining. I he only difference is that in a large
town you can talk about the Snodgrasses just as much as you want to and
Miss Priscilla Snodgrass may never hear a word about it, while in a small |
town if you can't be good you must be very careful.
No one can expect others never to talk about them. If we quit discussing
other folks we might as well be deaf and dumb. But when we talk about
some one else we should first establish a sort of war censorship over our
lingual apparatus because it is mighty embarrassing to be caught at it.
People very often say little things during little chats which do no harm
in themselves but when they are carried away second-handed to the object
of the discussion they often cause whole bagfuls of trouble. Indeed this fact
is the cause of half the miserable bad feeling which crops up in small commun
ities and it would do a lot of good to remember that when you speak badly
about another your listeners never take your word for it; 'Ihey only begin to
wonder why you are sore. \ little gossip is all right maybe, but no one should j
take it seriously.
VOTE FOR

—— ■ J .. . ■' ' ————
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
modium 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 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.
Chis&na, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914.
NOME.—Yesterday Captain Louis
Lane of the Polar Bear and Captain
Bartlett met on he beach at Barracks
Square and had an animated discus
sion which was lively while it lasted.
Captain Bartlett was much peeved at
Lane on account of an interview given
to the outside papers in which Captain
Lane censured Bartlett for the Karluk
disaster. Lane said that he was ready
willing and able to back up every one
of his statements and asserted that he
Bartlett, was the biggest ass that ever
went into the Arctic in command of a
vessel and said the course he took
with the Karluk was suicidal.
Miss Josie Warren is a passenger
on the Victoria and if reports can be
believed she will become the wife of
Mr. Lee McCloy, of the Alaska bank,
upon her arrival in Nome.
Delegate Wickersham Vis appoint
ed John Meals, of Valdez, as a cadet
to Annapolis. In the event of the
failure of young Meals to pass the ex
amination, John Miller is to take the
examination as the alternate.
A caribou run lasting five days be
ginning Sept. 28th during which hun
dreds of caribou covered the hills
around the head of Faith creek, north
of Chatanika is reported by Sam
Weiss, Jack Edwards and Fritz Welch
who recently returned from a hunting
trip in that district.
JUNEAU.— There will be no at
tempt made to collect poll taxes in
Alaska this year, according to Gov. J.:
F. A. Strong and Treasurer W. G.
Smith, although the act validating the
revenue laws has passed congress and
will likely be signed by the president, i
Suit has been started in Fairbanks
against M. H. Marston for the recov
ery of $23,000 taken from 15 below on
Fairbanks creek, and for about $<,000
claimed as interest.
When the town of Ruby voted on in
corporation recently the ballots stood
57 for to 106 against, which is quite a
decisive majority. This is the second
time that Ruby has turned down in- ■
corporation after tiling a petition with
Judge Fuller to be allowed to vote.
