WHEN PEOPLE start cheering political candidates anywhere they are
ust performing a lot of tomfoolery. Politicians are all tor the politicians al
though a person would think, to listen to them, that
LOCAL POT IT ICS they are just bleeding for their beloved country.
Right here in Alaska we are inclined to make a
hero out of some individual who has succeeded in pulling enough stiings to
be a recognized candidate for some political job, elective or appointin'. Ntws
papers are expected to go out of their way to sing their praises free gratis
ami take nothing but a hand shake and a sweet smile for recompense. Lui.
who ever heard of one of those politicians ever offering anything to the people
who elected them? A thousand men voted for the democrat the last time.
A thousand voted for the republican, and more than that voted loi the pnv
ent delegate but did any of the candidates ever bother his head about those
thousands ?
Politics are all right ami parties are all right but surely men do not run
for office in the belief that they are going to save their country and for noth- j
ing else. No, sir roe, politir’uns who seek election have their eye on themselves.
They know others could >< rve the country just as w ell, ami their candidacy is
just a business. I or this reason we should cut out the “enthusiasm which is ;
usually onl\ an organized effort to advertise the politician. Business men in >
other lines don’t expect to receivi advertising for nothing.
“YOU CANNOT demonstrate the power of an army in maneuvres”, said
General Sherman. “becau.M tho «-lenient of tear is lacking ’.
Old General Sherman, like all great leaders, was pretty wise and knew
how to express h - .-ti**ni in word.-. He it was who said that war was a
cuss word.
Weil, when the gem a v In* has driven up the host description of hell said
that fear must In taki ■ .n» a*' «• .nt i : war Mi1 told us something that is very
true. l'roop> mauouvt *■ a to d «iay whore ladies under sunshades are

guns begin to shoot . Was -t not Charles the Twelfth who said that he al
ways marched inti* battle a front of his men so that he couldn’t run away)
when the enemy opened Pro. The fear of death is surely a mighty incentive)
to take the back trail in spite of tho commands of the generals and the great
battle which is nov ._ri• ir may dooomi a> much on the moral example pre
sented by the leader." as upon tile straight shooting of the gunners.
Dr. Dillon, the world-famous writer on international subjects for the Lon
don Telegraph, says that Germany was forced into the present war and that 1
Russia had already chosen tho prosent timo as the most favorable for an at
tack on Austria and, therefore, on Germany. He also says that Servia has
boon uinvtig for years t<» t..k> Bom a from Austria and to split up the Aus
trian-Hungarian dual monarchy. He contends that if Germany did not come
to the aid of Austria ."he would have hers* f open later to attack by France
and Russia. That is another county heard from.
There are certain newspapers, so-called, which are constantly trying to
tempt decent newspapers to attack them. The decent newspapers have good
circulation and their n nr <>• » v, an uncomplimentary sense of the rags
would spread the name of such >heets over a wider area than they could
ever reach by tneir own endeavor. Therefore they attack that they might
receive notice and sunn* decent newspapermen fall for the trick instead of
using that very potent weapon—silent contempt.
Dr. Neuman, the government phy- mos from King Island and Diomede,
sician for the natives, reports that nearly all of the natives from Cape j
there are more Eskimos residing in Prince of Wales, some from Sinrock
Nome at the pr«*sent time than there and Mary’s Igloo and about fifty na
has been for many a day. Hesides tives from the Siberian side. Alto
the 320 Nome natives there are here gether there are about 800 natives ■
at the present time all of the Eski- residing in Nome at present.
