WHY r>n> TT WAIT?
The Juneau Kmpirs of October 2d
published an Article la which it
claimed to throw "Light on Dele
gate's Chirgw," and in so doing
sought to discredit that gentleman
aoj accused him of placing judge
Jennings and other democrats who
-.re supporting Chas. E. Bunnell in
a false light in thi» public speeches
h.8 was making through Tending only
portion* of the letters which he
hid received from them while push
ing certain Alaska measures through
congres®.
Now as the Empir* appears to be
engaged in an effort to uplift the
people ot the territory through a
democratic education of its voters,
wo should like to why it was so
dilatory ia bringing the matter
above referred to, to their at
tention?
On Septem tor 16th, Judge Wicker
sham started his campaign with an
address to the people of Ketcai
k*c, on Sept. 19th, he was at
Petersburg, on Sept, 28th, he was
at Juneau, from which point he
went to Sitka aa 1 then returned to
Juneau, on Oct. 1st, h« was in
Skagway aud on Oct. ®d, he was in
Haines. Aud in all of these places
be made the same use of, and the
sane allusion# to the letters he
hod received from Judge Jennings,
John W Troy, Ch&s. E. Bunnell and
others, and there was not even a
"cheep" from the Empire as to
their not being authentic, nor any
complaint that the subject matter
contained iu them had been garbled
by Mr. Wickersham to suit his own
*uds. On the 4th Judge Wicker
sham left for the westward, without
having seen the article in the
Empire, and therefore, without hav
ing had a chance to reply.
If the Empire was sincere in its
belief of Judge Wickersham's al
leged underhanded political methods 1
why did It rot confront him with
the evidence It now claims to have
uiscovered of his duplicity while he
was in our midst and could have j
been publicly confounded to the |
great edification of the Alaskan ]
democracy and th« enlightmest of j
the voters of *11 parties in the |
First Division? Fifteen days j
should have been ample time in !
which to have thrown off the en- j
veloping cloak that obscured the i
democratic light and have allowed j
its rays to penetrate even into the,
n-.ost obscure and darkest political
corners.
Why wait until Mr. Wickersham 1
was not in a position to reply to the
charge brought? There Is food
•here for reflection, and investiga
tion .is well, by the voters at the
coming election.
• • IMPORTED" VRODt'CTS
J*;*™
Human nature is pretty much the
same the world over, and when we
read of the California society ladies
Paying exorbitant prices for "im
ported" ostrich plumes for decorat
ing their headgear that had been
raised on the ostrich farms near
Los Angeles, sent from there to
London to receive the proper stamp,
returned to America as an imported
article, and sold at a much higher
price than could be obtained for a
home labeled feather of exactly the
same size and quality, -we are re
minded of some things that are hap
pening in Alaska along practically
the same lines, the only difference
being tiiat instead of the discrimina
tion being against luxuries, it was
against a food product that is al
most a necessity.
To illustrate how this was done
in at least one Instance *-e quote
from a recent issue oi the Ruby
Record-Citixan;
"The following is an extract from
a letter received by A. Haaryei, the
rtcw-ct. from H. S- Emerson &
Co.. of Seattle;
"No doubt yon are surprised at
tho price of Swedish turnips. The
shipment I am sending you today
was raised in Haines, Alaska. In
fact, we have not had a good turnip
or "baga" raised In this country
to ship this soason, as they are all
wormy."
first aid circulars
Few people throughout the Un
ited States realize the important
work being done by the govern
ment along many lines, in order to
assist people to become' more ef
ficient In ©very-day life, or to
reap greater results from the ef
forts put forth.
By Alaskans the government
geological survey is considered one
of the most important bureaus at
Washington, but this cau be of but
little internet to a vast majority of
people in tho United States. The
many bulletins on agricultare, each
covering its own section, from Al
aska to Fioriia, interests a much
larger number, but the little circu
lar that is of interest to all north
erners, is the one that deals dir
ectly with man and teaches us how
to alleviate suffering and often
save life.
Such a circular is published by
the bureau or mines, department of
the iuterior, entitled •"Miners' Cir
cular No. 8, First Aid Instructions
for Miners." In a plain, maUer-of
(act way, with many illustrations, it
sets forth the first treatment for
accidents of nearly every descrip
tion, including fractures, disloca
tion, wounds of every kind, burns,
scalds and treatment when overcome
by gas. How to bandage all parts
of the body is made clear by many |
illustrations and minute directions.
It is hard to conceive of a coun- |
try where the inhabiatnt® can use
Knowledge of this nature to better
advantage than in Alaska, where
thousands of men pursue their vo
cation year in and year out, many
miles from surgical aid. None who
have been in Alaska for years, but
have seen the time when such
knowledge was needed and perhaps
bv its immediate application some
poor fellow's life might have been
saved.
This circular should be fn the
hands of every person in this sec
tion. The government distributes
them free. If you do not need it
the other fellow may, and it Bhould
be given careful consideration by
all.
On the outside the government
is going to great pains to instruct
the miners along these lines. At
present the bureau of minea* sup
port® eight cars that are taken
from place to place in mining dfB
trictg to instruct the miners by lec
tures and exemplification^ in first
aid.

Cleveland, 0., Oct. 5—Th# larg
est woman suffrage parade demon
stration ever held iu America took
place in Cleveland Saturday, when
3,000 women and more than 200
men marched through several miles
of the downtown streets. Saturday's
showing marked the "beginning of
the end" of tho campaign to gain
votes for a woman suffrage amend
ment to the state constitution at
the general eletcion in November.
Heading the parade was Joan of :
Arc on a white horse, immediately
followed by officers of Ohio's Wo- I
man Suffrage association, including !
many of Ohio's foremost women.
Homemakers marched with women [
oj the business world. College
women in cap and gov, n walked
shoulder to shoulder with "servant
gills" in white aprons and caps.
City women in smart tailored gowns
miigled freely with their plainer
sisters from the farms and villages.
Ono of tho most prominent fea
ture® of tho celebration was a large
peace float at tile very eud of the
parade. Another float which at
tracted attention was one depict- j
i^g woman's part in tha history of
Ohio. Following this were large
wagons bearing Ohio's pioneer suf
fragists, drawn by fifty children, all
members of the Jttuior anxililary of
the state association.
At every corner a woman stepped i
from the line of march to inoiii^. a j
stool or dry goods box to sflieak to j
the assembled crowds. The mam-1
moth demonstration today was the
climax of oue of tl e most complete
and spirited camp.iigus Ohio has
ever seen. Far wee'es women from
all over thy country have been in
Ohio giving freely their efforts to
bring "votes for women'* one step
nearer the Atlantic seaboard. Every
village and city lias seen the big
yellow bannered automobiles in
which the workers travel from place
to place arousing enthusiasm for
"the cause.'"
At suffrage headquarters in Clove
land is a small iron pot, such as i
are seen in charge of Salvation At- 1
mjr workers at holiday time. Into j
thifl have gone treasure* worth sev- j
eral hundred dollars, and others
worth little In money, but priceless
to their owners. They are sacri- j
fices in the fight to gain the vote, j
