HOPE DIAMOND SOLD AGAIN
Edward B. Mclean Buys Gem Which
 Ruin and Misery Has Followed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. - Edward B. Mclean, of Washington, is now the proud possessor of a jewel around which clusters more romance and tragedy probably than any precious stone in history.
 Mir. Mclean has purchased the fla nous Hope diamond of South Africa, paying $300,000 for the gem. The famous diamond was delivered to Mir. Mclean here last night by Pierre Carter, the New York and Paris jeweler, and is now locked up in the vault of MT. McLean's resi- dence. The purchase was made from a syndicate of New York jewellers, who, three months ago, bought the gem from similar syndicate in Paris.
 Mrs. Mclean, who is the daughter of the late Thomas F. Walsh, the mother of Washington's S100,0O0,000 baby. has not stated whether she will wear the glittering gem, which has left ruin and misery in it's wake from the day it left the hands of an Indian pOtentate, at any of the sO- cial functions in Washington.

BRITONS GETTING ALARMED
India Is Armng and Most Extraor-
 dnary Precautions Being Taken.

LONDON. Jan. %. - India is arm ing and the British government is seriously alarmed at the outlook The recent seizure of thousands cf mod eln rifles, being smuggled into India, the bloody battles which have been fought with gun runners ill the Per sian gulf. in which a score or more of British blue jackets have lost their lives. are but the out ward manifestation of thoroughly organized and widespread conspiracy to arm the dissatisfied Indians and ultimately 10 rise against the Brit iSh government, the most eXtraOrdin- ary precautions are being taken to meet any emergency which may arise. Not only have the most etIi- cient secret agents available been put to work to ferret out the ser vice of supply of the gun runners, but the British regiments are being quietly strengthened and native reg iments are being Wceded of all whose absolute loyalty there is the faint est suspicion.
 Administration reforms tending to allay the dissatisfaction among the Indians are being introduced, and it is possible an outbreak may be avoided.
 It is this which has led to the de- determination of King George and Queen Mary to go to India for the great coronation durbar next year
 One thing is certain, England will not be taken unaWares as she was at the time of the great mutiny.

The Times and the News have recently been booming Congressman Humphrey as Alaska's only friend calling particular attention to the fact that he recently got an amend ment to the game law passed. As the game laws applicable to inter- for Alaska are about as unjust as they we'll could be, and as they were framed by Humphrey, it is hard to recognize any special brand of Friendship" in the Seattle con- gressman's action in correcting a rid iculous mistake in drawing the bill only after the matter was brought to his attention personally by this pa- per.

Twice our delegate has been elect ed on an individual platform, pre- pared by the candidate himself. This to a man who is used to a Demo+ cratic form of government suggests too much one-man power, even if the delegate is the ablest man in Alaska. Talleyrand says that "every- body knows more than anybody" Let everybody be at the Democratic banquet, express his views on what is best for Alaska and begin to formulate plans for the next cam paign.

The Milwaukee Election

The capitalists are trying to ex-
.wakuee election.
The tremendous gains of the So
cialists throughout the country in
the spring municipal election is
startling the old party politicians.
1t is doing more. 1t is frighten-
ing the capitalists.
The tide of Socialism is rising
they fear the roar of the incoming
sea. Naturally they seek for signs
of reason, of the ebbing of the tide
Milwaukee marks high water.
The Socialists control the city and
county government. They also elect
ed a congressman. Against them
is the state administration. the
courts and all the capitalistic laws.
They are fearfully handicapped by
these laws-they cannot carry on
their program as they would like to
do. The whole combined force of
plutocracy is against them. The
capitalistic press Of Milwaukee is
| lying about the Socialist administra-
ton. These lies are taken up by
the hireling press everywhere.
THE SOCIALISTS OF MILWAU
KEE MUST BE BEATEN. is the slo-
gan of capitalism. To accomplish
this nothing is too low. too vile, too
contemplate.
Democrats and Republicans throw
off their masks: forget their preten-
ded difference of principle and unite
on one ticket to defeat the Social
lists.
AT the late election in Milwaukee
the Democrats and Republicans fus-
ed on non-partisan C?) ticket. They
were supported by the combined
IF fol nd
superstition. The capitalistic daily
press poured fourth n constant vom-
it of venomous attacks, calumnies
and lies against Socialism and So
'cialists. and the Socialist administra-
ton. The Socialists had no daily
Milwaukee paper (they are going to
have one soon) and could not
adequately reply.
IN SPITED OF ALL THIS THE
SOCIALIST VOTE GAINED FROM
1000 TO 5000 OVER THE VOTE
OF THE LAST CORRESPONDING
ELECTION TWO YEARS AGO.
The Socialist candidates were de-
feated-but the Socialist vote in
creased.
Socialism must meet the COM
bined forces of capitalism every
where. 1t asks for no quarter nor
bine with other parties of interests.
1t stands for the people. for the
workers. who must unite in order to
gain what belongs to them-the
world
Must It city. if it would not he
slandcrcd and lbeled throughout
the land, turn over it's streets to
franchise corporations and provide
an administration that with one hand
will crush the organizations of labor.
and with the other deliver to an al
ready privileged few. those com
munal values that are the result of
labor's toll? 1t is not less than this
that Privilege demands. it is not
less than this that partisan is ready
to perform in its service. That is
the way of Privilege. It will traduce
where it cannot debauch. it will
seize the legal means devised to pro-
tect the people and use them to
Gespoil the people. 1t will commit
every crime except those requiring
courage.
