SEWARI). ALASKA. MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1916
Three weeks from tomorrow Alaska will be again
voting. It will elect a legislature, a delegate to congress,
an attorney general, road supervisors and will give an ex-!
pression on prohibition. Alaska lias more politics than
any other place on earth of like population. It is likely
that no other political community on earth with a popula
ion of onlv fortv thousand has a legislature. There are
one or two dinky little principalities or republics hidden
away in the Alps or some such places with a smaller popu
lation. perhaps, but they have no political representation
like ours. i
Now, all this shows that Alaskans have been very ef
fective in their agitations for political recognition. It has
been fashionable to say that Alaskans find agreement im
possible on most questions, and we do have many agita
tions within agitations, but we have got there pretty well.
Too much freedom may not be too good for any of
us, however, until we are prepared not to abuse it. It is
a fact that Alaska by choosing certain sorts of men who
run for office to represent them is endangering its own
economic welfare. In all sorts of communities live men
who have only an overdose of demagogy to give them an
excuse for trying to enter public life. In new communities
they stand a better chance to hoodwink a certain percent
age of the voters than in places more politically sophisti
cated. Their chief weapon is usually attacks on capital.
If capital did not exist their own mental qualities would
make it impossible for them ever to rise beyond “hewing
wood and drawing water."
It would be well for people to remember that the legis
lature made it possible for a man to cast his vote in Al
aska in future in a precinct which is not his own. If some
man finds it necessary, for instance, to go away from Sew
ard on election day he may cast his vote at Anchorage or
some other place by swearing it in. In this connection it
may be said that if any oversight occurred on the part of
any officials, such as overlooking the giving of notice of
election in time, etc., the people of the precinct which has
not had arrangements made for election could go some
where else and vote. This paper does not say and never
did say that any such preparations had been overlooked.
It only suggested that they might have been and it only
suggests now that they might have been, and it speaks of
this matter again to draw attention to the fact that the
new law makes it possible, anyhow, to cast a vote some
where else, although in some cases such a course might
not be found practicable. It is well, though, to have this
known in time.

no one nationality. It is noticeable
alike along the English and French
lines and among the prisoners from
Germany, Austria and Turkey. It is
said to be perhaps a little more pro
nounced along the eastern fronts
where the vast amount of territory
involved frequently makes neglect of
the wounded inevitable.
Men have lain for days without
medical attention and when finally ad
mitted to hospital have given their
ages at 21 to 27 years when ordinarily
they would have been classed as 40 to
45.
“We attribute the gray hairs now
so noticeable everywhere at the front
to sub-conscious worry,” said a Cana
dian army surgeon in discussing the
subject with a correspondent of the
Associated Tress. “A man will not
be conscious of any worry at all,
whereas his comrades will daily com
ment u|m>n the whitening of his hair.
I have never known of hair actually
growing white overnight, as the nov
elists are so fond of putting it. bat it
often happens within the space ol a
week or ten days.
“The gray hairs come quicker to
the officers than to the ‘Tommies/
which is again a corroboration of the
subconscious theory. The strain of
the lighting naturally is greater with
the officers, although he may out
wardly have the same joyous spirit of
the man with the gun who goes over
the parapet with a delighted yell
when the command is given to ad
vance.
“Our nurses, too, frequently, go
gray without apparent reason for
mostly they are women of long train-j
ing amid the scenes and sufferings of
hospital life.”
