NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 10, 1918.

Spring may seem good way on just now but it will roll round before .ye know 1t ard when 1t comes there is going to be very merry little time in politics here in Alaska. There are going to be city elections and later there will be assembly elections and the election of a national delegate.
 X good many men take thesc elec- tions seriously. a good many more men take them aR a matter of course and vote with the party without much re- fiection as to the qualifications of the candidate or much absolute knowledge of what the party platform stands for It Is safe to say that two-thirds of the men voters of the country inherit theiE politics. They vote the way father did They are democrats or republicans be- cause the family has always been dem- ocrats or republican and few of them are progressives because they were sore at the two old parties for ono reason or another and because they wanted to get on to the Rooseveitian hand wagon. That same band wagon having lost wheel in the political mu pduddle 1t seems that, go far as Alaska is concerned anyway. 1t may be eliminated and we will bc called upon to vote for men sworn to uphold the principles of the democratic ar rec publican party.
 Az far as these two old line parties 10 there is not much choice between them. Both have good blanks in their platforms, both have rotten blanks in their platform and both arc moro or less corrupt and. in national affairs at least are influenced by the moneyed intersts of New York.
 However, we will not have to bother about national policies up here in Alaska at the coming elections. Our issues are going to be moro or less local.
 The average male voter is hopeless Dad was republican or Dad was a democrat and it ia ten to one that sonny is going to bo just the same What was good enough for Dad will be good enough for Johny because Johny is firmly convinced that the old man was right and he has never taken tho trouble to find out why he should vote for one party or another Johny doesn't work his brain and he toddles up to the polls and casts m hereditary vote.
 This year. however there ts going tc be . new element in Alaska politics For the first time women are going to cast vote. It is to be hoped that this new experience will be taken seriously U the women. That they will uss thslr own brain in figuring out whs tAev elsouId vote for one candidate ol another.

It seems that China is not yet reauy for a republican form of government. The experiment has been tried and according to the ablest statesman. the most enlightened students of the times. the country is not yet in a condition for self government It would not be surprmising if In the near future we 9 gain saw an emperor on the throne of the Manchus and the republican congress of China a thing of the past Another dirty duece in the discard of republican governments.
 In Portugal some time ago they threw the young king out of his palace ard put the country under a presi- dent and congress. Portugal has not rrnspered under the change and from the signs of the times Manuel may yet ascend the throne of his fathers.
 Tn all of the states of Central and South America the republican form os scvernment obtains but 1t is never a success except in cases where some ,trcng man takes hold of the helm and becomes a dictator. when the country ceas.s t. be a republic save only in name.
 Tn none of the above instances has republican form of government when 1t has supplanted a monarchial fcrm' resulted in even a showing of success.
 People who think about matters of this kind may began to wonder why 1t is that in only one country in the world has republic been successful, for me may eliminate France from consideration for she has not been \ republic very long and everyone knows that all the French emotional spirit needs to turn things upside down and again become a monarchy or m em- pirc is some popular idol or hero to direct.
 The only successful republic. since the days of ancient Rome. has been the United States of America Why? 1s it because of her exceptional re- sources? Is 1t because of her hybred population or of any especial guidance of the Almighty? Certainly not.
 It is simply and solely because here in this great young. new land which has for so many years maintained fl. self under the most wastefui and yct tho best form of government. repub- lic. every child who is growing up to bc- come a voter is required to get sn education. The voter begin to qualify when he enters the first grade and by the time he is twenty.one he has at least the rudiments of an education.
 China is not . success as a republic and in China education is confined 70 q very few. The South American countries and Portugal arc not suc- cesses as republics because the educa' ton. what little there is. is confined to a very few. But the United Staees is O success and will continue to be q success because there is an education at hand for everychiid.maie or female. who will somedoy grow into a voter. Take away the education of the masses and you take away the main prop 4 the republic.
 That is why the public school plays such m important part in the develop ment and future of our country and that is why every sfsort must be made at no matter what cost to keep this great factory of citizenship operat'ns all the time.

Pellagra in the United States.

There were from thirty to fifty
thousand cases Of pellagra in the
United States within the last six
years, with a death rate OF about 80
per cent. These figures constitute
only rough estimate of the number
of cases, owing to the defective ma
chinery for securing vital statistics
in this country.
Lavinder, of the United States pub
lie health service, has gathered fig
ures on the prevalence and distribu-
tion of pellagra in the United States.
Figures have been secured from State
authorities, from public institutions
and from private sources. A map
shows that pellagra has been report
ed from every State In the Union ex-
cept New Hampshire in the East, and
a group of Western and Northwestern
States comprising Idaho, Minnesota,
Montana, the two Dakotas, Utah, wy
omiiis ana Nevada. The greatest
prevalence is found in the group usu-
ally spoken Of as the Southern States.
In only one State Is the disease re-
portable by law. PellatTa cannot be
compared In prevalence with such a
disease as typhoid fever, for exam
pie, yet the large number OF cases

with it's wide and apparently increas-
Ing distribution, make it a disease of
national Importance, and afford an
additional reason why every State
not already giving adequate vital sta
tistics laws should at once enact such
laws. The aid which accurate figures
and facts concerning this important
disease would give in the solution Of
the problem of pellagra, says the
Journal Of the American Medical AS
sociation should alone be sufficient to
demand the enactment of such laws
in the coming Legislature of every
State not now within the regist ra ton

CAROLINA BOY STILL LEADS.
No One Has Yet Topped Jerry
MOore's 228-Bushel Record.

For raising 1854 bushels of corn
last summer on an acre plot, the
largest yield ever produced by Min
nesota boy or man and believed to be
the largest yield in the Northwest,
Arthur Hoese, a 16-year-old boy Of
Mayer, Carver county, last week was
awarded the title of State champion
corn grower by the agricultural ex-
tension division Of the university
farm. With this reputation went a
scholarship valued at $500 and put
up by Minneapolis newspaper,
which entities the winner to years
tuition, board and room at the Col
lege Of Agriculture in st. Anthony
Park.
Myron F. Wallace, Of Zimmerman,
Sherburne county, finished second
with yield Of 1903 bushels for the
acre. Miss Florence Stegner, who
lives near Sauk Center, Stearns coun-
ty, by raising 97.5 bushels on her
acre, established her right to the title
of champion woman corn grower Of
Minnesota. Both she and the State
champion, Arthur Hoese, procured
their seed corn through the agricul-
tural extension division of the State
University.
ooiiy MooIe 8 oOuIn CarOllna rec
ord OF 228k bushels for one acre Is
still untouched.
The Statewide contest for boys
and girls, in which 1900 started last
spring and 600 submitted their nnal
reports last fall, demonstrated that
the farmers OF Minnesota can more
than double their corn yields by ad-
opting the methods which these
young contestants have followed, at
very little more cost than the average
farmer puts into his crop. Not one
OF the 900 reports submitted men,
toned loss on the investment, after
including the labor and all other
items of expense. The profits ranged
from few dollars up to $50, which
Hoese obtained by selling part of his
yield for seed corn at 50 per bushel.
