HENRY RODEN-FUSION CANDIDATE

In considering the claims of Henry Roden for election to the Senate of the First Alaska Legislature would be we'll for moment to dismiss all considerations of the sonaty of the candidate, while inquire into the which induced him to seek elecon and the work which lie has outlined for himself in the legislature if successful at the polls.
 It will be remembered that when the question of non- partisan ticket first broached in the ditarod Pioneer the matter of likely candidates not touched upon being the declared policy of this paper abide by the decision of the primaries and support the candidate selected therea whoever he might be. But it early became evident
 that although there many able in the district the best to select the fusion candidate Henry Roden Approached the matter Mir. Roden repeatedly refused become candidate but under pressure from his friends eventually agreed toaccept the nomination if rendered him. In doing he knew that he eopardzng his official position and professional business that except for quite audabe ambition to in Aaska's first legis

ature his candidacy absolutely disinterested So much for the motives which induced Mr. Roden to become candidate.
 Now to the program which MT. Roden has outlined for himself if elected. The time which he able to de- vote to the discussion of politics in the Iditarod short that he could outline but briefly the reforms and ad vanced legislation which be has in mind; but such he
 has outlined sufficient to indicate the trend of his mind far legislation is concerned. Living in country the manstay of which is and probably always will be mining and being himself a practical miner Mr. Rodens thoughts naturally turn in the direction of changes in the existing mining laws and improved working conditions for the including the enactment of eighhour law. He would make provision for the sick the aged and the nrm and maintain out of public funds comfortable home for aged prosecto He would advocate liberal education for the children and in other insure them fair start in
 life There many other for the benefit of the territory which Mr. Roden has in mind and which he will advocate if eeced but sufficient has been said to ndi- cate that in Mr. Roden we have candidate possessed of broad sympathies and progressive ideas.
 With regard to Mr. ROdens at the ensuing elecon there is not the slightest doubt but that he will receive overwhelming vote in the Iditarod Ruby and Kuskokwim districts and he certainly should receive al ger vote in the Panama valley than any of his opponents But the fight is not yet It is imperative that votes be lost through ignorance of the points at issue apathy on the part of the electors. Every who has vote should record in favor of Henry Roden for Senator

 "Mutchler Bros did send their four horse out to Flat Friday therefore business in the creek tropolis has been very quiet.

SPASMCDiC PIETY

w@7O MANY in this vale of woe gsg are shining lights on Sun NS-s&s day, and then they let re- igion go, while chasing scads on Monday. On Sunday some arc so devout you hear their pinions quiver, they sing the hymnbook with a shout, from kiver unto kiver; and when the Sabbath goes from us they scratch for bones and laurels, and do not care a tinker's cuss for any set of morals. Six days on sin ful games they Hit, and once a week are pious; the books in which the Word is writ that sort of graft deny us. Religious good the whole week through, to Saturday from Monday, and we should then refuse to do things we'd abhor on Sunday. 1 am not strong on singing psalms-my voice is hoarse and creeky from eat ing prunes and boneless hams and health food from Topeky; I am not strong on texts because the score boards keep me humping; one can't stock up with moral saws when foot ball teams are jumping. But I've simple creed, plan that may have come from heaven; I'll be as pious as l can, not just one day, but seven. Walt Mason.

COLD WEATHER
 STOPS TRAVEL,

The troubles which beset the mosquito fleet at the close of nayi. gation each year seem to be part and parcel of life in Interior Alaska Every fall we watch the departure of heavily laden craft bound for distant parts, knowing full well in our hearts that many will never reach their destination ill the man ner planned. In fact, without tue bars and the ice foes, October tray cling would lose half its fascination for many, who board tue Martha Flyer, the Little Glow, or the Nancy Delta fully equipped with moccaSins and parkas, and even dogs and sleds, prepared, if need be, to finish their journey over the winter trail.
 If this fall had been different from its predecessors ill this regard it would have been taken as an ill omen by some. But now the ex. pected has happened, and several of the little boats are strung along the Yukon, locked in the ice, the prophets of evil can rub their palms together, and snigger, and say, 1T told you so. Which is keen enjoyment to some mortals.
 It was Tuesdays wireless bul.e- tin which confirmed our worst fears, although earlier dispatcI es had warned up of King Frost's ar rival OH the mighty Yukon. Here is the doleful news:
 "Kaltag, October 22.
 "Launch Beaver beached 20 miles below Ruby. Crew and passengers muShed OH overland
 "Comet not reported at Melozi yet. Very unlikely it will be able 10 reach Ruby now.
 Martha Glow passed Kaltag 7 o'clock last night, bound up. She going to try make Ruby; but ice is very thick this morning. She will do we'll if she reaches Nulato.
 "Flyer [Captain Willywatson, Peaceful Henry crew beached at Kaltag. unable buck ice further.

 Later.
 Martha Glow is stuck in the ice 20 miles below Nulato. "

Weir had had Sport for over six years and was greatly attached to him, and that the sentiment was reciprocated was very evident, for, wherever Sport was, there also would you find his master.

LEGENDS ABOUT FLOWERS
Human Blood or Tears Often the

From the Suburban Life
 Human blood and tfais are frequently legendary sources Of plants. As a gen. eral rule red flowers spring from the former and white fro mthe latter Thus Greek tradition says that the anemone sprang from the passionate tears Venus shed over the dead body of Adonis
 Among the Virginian tribes, too. re ] clover was supposed tc rave sprung from and to be colorod b5 the blood of the red men slain in battle with the whi-e invaders. In a similar manner the red poppies which followeJ the ploughing of the field of Waterloo were said to have sprung from the blooa of the killed ani wounded in that battle.

 But while celebrating the holidays dur inc the current week we should not be unmindful of the event which 1t com- momorates and 1 would like every one of my readers who Is the parent of a small child to tell that child the story Of the simple but devont shoemaker in a far-away German village.
 He had just learned of Christ and im- perfectly eornprehended the theme. Every evening al the close of his work he would sweep his shop scrupulously clean, make a roaring fire in the grate and await d visit from the Christ for which he had most ardently prayed. He even laid aside from his meagre earnings a silver coin with which to purchase re- treatments when the expected visitor ar- rived Day after day passed and no guest came until the poor man began to lose his faith in prayer.
 One Christmas eve after he abandoned hope Of visit, as he peered through the little glass door of his shop out into the street filled with snow and sleet he saw a poor woman trying to warm little child under the folds of her thin sia VI and blowing her breath upon its tiny fingers stigfened with cold. The shoe maker hailed to waif and bade her enter to warm herself and child by his ruddy fire He even spent his silver coin, his last, to buy some nouris hing food for the two. When the mother and child had gone. the shoemaker rested In his chair by the dying embers and exactly at midnight he saw standing at his side an image clad in a white robe with long. soft curling locks and a face dlvinely sweet The man started from his seat half dazed. but the image said in gentle tones: '1 saw you with the woman and child: as ye have done it unto the least Of these ye have done it unto me-" The expected guest had arrived.
