Owing to the excellent Etivopean
war and general telegraphic news
bervica the Skagway Daily Alaskan
is furuishng to Its readers, its sub
scription lists in the interior North
ern British Coiumbu and Southern
Yukon territory towns and mining
camps are steadily, increasing, three
Atlin new subscribers laying sent in
thgir n^nas to this office yesterday.
Haines and the adjacent country is
also furnishiu^ its quota of new
names..
Being the only daily paper pub
lished in the immense of country
between Juneau and Dawson to
the north and Juneau and Cor
dova to the westward, its
columns furuish excellent facili
ties to the advertiser who desires
to introduce his wares or commo
dities and bring them to tho atten
tion of the people in the region
mentioned whioh, though sparsely
sealed, has a sufficient number of
inhabitants within its borders to
be well worth the effort of any busi
ness house to secure their trade.
THKY DON'T OBJKCT
After trying the ballot, at
least, women do not object to
it. That fact is proved by the
total abseuce o' efforts worthy of
notice, in woman suffrage states,
to go back to the old system of
voting by men alone.
In several states the right to
vote was given to women many
years ago. They have never sought
to free themselves from the obli
gation which that privilege laid
upon them They vote or not, as
they please, much as men "»e or
neglect the right of suffrage, but
women in the suffrage states do
not try to vote away from their
sex the power given it by the
votes of m^u.
This broad fact seems to dis
pose of the assertion that the great
majority of women do not desire
the right to vote. If they disliked
the powers aad responsibilities of
electors they would try to divest
themselves of both the right and
the duty by voting their sex back
into its former voteless state.
F-VKE mining strike
Mining and Scientific Press: Re
ports of rich gold discoveries in
Alaska are made from time to time,
but rarely is any more heard of
them and mining men wonder from
what source the reports emanate.
Such wild exaggerations have greatl
held back the development of this
promising territory. The recently
widely published news that a
goldfield of enormous extent and
possibilities had been discovered in
the Broad Pass district of Alaska,
and credited a? coming from Steph
en Birch, is a report without any
foundation whatever, as we noted
in our news columns last week. The
details are given in our New York
letter. A spirit of over-enterprise
led some of our contemporaries to
spread the news ridiculously beyond
what proved to be its deserts. The
real responsibility, however. Tests
with the one starting the report.
People who give out news of this
sort should be apprehended and
taught a lesson as they cause a
rush to the alleged district, and
subsequent disappointment to
miners, who have enough hardships
in Alaska. It might be as well to
point out tha.t great deposits such
as at Juneau and at other great
lode mines, are not developed in
a few days, but after many years of
skilfu] work; so that when a report
is heralded that a goldfield equal
or larger than some other one which
has been a long period in coming to
production Is discovered, caution
should be exercised in accepting the
statement, at least among techni
cal men. ^
Let us hope that the war, he
fore It ends, will ceaso working the
tail end of the alphabet so hard.
Perhaps Russia is holding back
until it can get one of its justly
celebrated winters into action.
And poor, li'-tle Belgium hasn t
even whatever satisfaction there
may be la having started the fight.
Anyhow, as Uncle Joe Cannon is
elected we probably won't have to
read his memolra for a while vet.
Considering hb feat with Col
onel Watterson, President Wilson
can claim honor as a lion-tamer if
not as a lion-hunter.
What is neeied just now is a
self-starter that can be tei^en off
the automobile and attached to the
furnace.
Now we knw why the 'W hite

It was needed for hatchet-burying
purposes.
_ What motto does Europe intend
to use in its Christmas celebration
in place of: "Peace on earth; good

Sure enough, the German em
bassy promptly denied any inten
tion of annexing the Dominion of
Canada.
The bride's sister and the bride
groom's mother went along on the

Now is Time
To Prove Ojr
Adaptation
By JOHN IRVING ROMER, Pub
lisher, New York Ci:y
THE accusation has been brought
against American business
men that they are inclined to
BELY MOKE UPON GOVERN
MENT FAVORS in the form of
protective tariffs, subsidies and
bounties than upon their own SA
GACITY AND INITIATIVE. It
is said that thjjy will not move un
til the government points out the
way and insures them against pos
sible loss of profit.
QUICK ACTION IS NECESSARY IF
WE ARE TO PROVE THE ACCUSA
TION FALSE. ENGLAND IS NOT
DISPOSED TO "AWAIT DEVELOP
MENTS." SHE ANNOUNCES HER
INTENTION OF CAPTURING THE
TRADE OF GERMANY AND AUS
TRIA AT ONCE, AND A LARGE
PART OF THAT TRADE IS WITH
OUR OWN HOME MARKETS. WE
HAVE LONG BOASTED OF THE
SPEED WITH WHICH WE COULD
ADAPT OURSELVES TO NEW CON
DITIONS. NOW IS THE TIME TO
PROVS IT. -s~ ' -t
