five, six or more trains, depending
upon the grades to be overcome by

NUMBER l
High School Easily Defeatc ]
Bethel IN Opening Foot
bill Game.

The High School eleven opened the
season Monday with a victory over
the Bethel College team by the score
Of 33. 0. The Bethel team out weigh
ed the local aggregation at least IL
pounds to the man, but failed to
show the inside knowledge of the
game that their opponents possessed.
Only four times did they gain their
necessary ground for a first down,
once on a recovered punt, again on
well executed forward pass, and
twice by line plunges.
High School wa, in the game at all
times. The line. altho mostly out
weighed, fought with indomitable
spirit against their handicap, and
held their antagonists to a stand
still. The back field showed speed
and strategy, and gained almost at
will. Good interference around the
ends. and Lackey's plunging were
largely responsible for the gains ends.
Weaks and Breathitt covered their
men well, used their speed to credit,
breaking up the Interference before
it was well formed.
High School scored their first
touchdown in the first quarter when
Lacs ey pushed the ball to the choke
line for the first tally. A moment
later, Roberts went across on long
end run, Breathitt kicking the goal
for a 13.0 score; this ended the scor-
ing for the half.
Early in the next period Weaks re-
ceived a forward pass over the line,
placed it between the uprfghts for a
200 score. Lackey recovered a
fumbled punt, and P. Roberts lived
up to the Roberts fame by scoring
again for High, Breathitt's toe rails
ing the total to $50.
Every man on the team deserves
credit for the game, and those who
attended saw a good, clean exhibi
ton of football. The substitutes
Brown, Higgins ar d Radf, rl, showed
up we'll il. the backfeld, and under
the plotting of Phil Roberts gained
ground consistent.

A Striking Contrast.

iioPhihoNthNg NY, OSbs o. isN
Governor j. c. w. Beckham is the
Democratic nominee for United
States Senator; Ex-Governor Angus
tus E Wilson is the Republican nom-
inee. Both have been the Chief Ex-
ecutive of Kentucky and they now
seek the same Office. 1t is proper
that their public careers shoulI be
reviewed and that their respective
abilities should be measured.
AS Governor, Wilson was COM
plete failure. When he came into
Office he found Sl,O00,OO0 in the
Treasury; when he went out of Office
he left the cash box empty and the
State 81 10000 in debt, So much
for Governor Wilson as a financier.
He had no constructive ability.
There is no law on the Statute book
that bears the imprint OF his hand or
brain. Instead of advocating wise
legislation that would improve the
state he wasted his energies in the
furtherance of petty political
schemes in an effort to discredit the
Democracy.
So little attention did he pay to
the affairs of his Office, and so fire.
quent were his transforming tours
through other state, speaking where
ever a gong sounded or banqust
was spread, that he became known
as the Wandering Voice. 1t is mat
ter of record that during his term
the Lieutenant Governor drew over
$4,000 in salary for acting Governor
during Wilson's absence from the
state.
This is the same Wilson. who rat
tied around in the Executive Chair,
the sport of press and public, who
now asks this brave, intelligent ard
discriminating electorate to serd
him to the United State Senate
where he promises to prove thorn in
the side of President Wilson, whose
ability he derides and whose Policies
he is anxious to oppose.
1t will take a seperate article to
recount the wise, progressive and
economical administration of Gov
ernor Beckham. He was Governor
of Kentucky for seven years and
throughout that period when the ex-
istence of his party and the very life
of the State was at stake, he proved
himself patriot and statesman.
Among the hundred excellent things
be furthered was Kentucky's mag
nificent Capitol, built without cent
of graft, or leaving a dollars of in
debtedness.
When Governor Beckham went out
of office, he left this new Capitol,
without a superior in beauty
or worth on the continent, and a
million dollars in Cash in the Treas
ury.
The Republican party selects Gus
Wilson as its beloved leader. He
typifies all that it stands for. He is
| a homeless hide.hound reactionarv
the friend and follower of Taft, the
enemy of all progress, narrow, vim
dictive and benighted.
The Democratic party selects Gov
ernor Beckham to lead its fight. He
has courage. character and ability.
His face is toward the future bright
with the sunlight of Democracy. He
is the friend of President Wilson and
has his hearty endorsement.

hospital in his will, but just what
that provision should be, he had not
decided. On November 90, 1908,
Jacob Funk died suddenly in his
chair at his hotel. He left no will,
and his entire property was Inherit
ed by collateral heirs.
After Mr.. Funk's death, the Meth
odists began to complain that the
hospital was not self-sustaining
that the deed provided for too much
free service" and some good mem
bers of the conference went so far
as to insinuate that they had been
buncoed into accepting white ele-
phant," which was a source Of con-
slant worry and expense and of no
benefit to anyone except those peo-
! pie of Webster City who were I'M
| fortunate enough to need a hospital.
1t was developed that Mr.. Funk had
made mistake in his choice of a
medium through which to perform a
great charitable work, for the
Northwest Iowa conference, instead
of looking upon the bestowal of the
hospital as opportunity to relieve
suffering and perform a great work
of benevolence, had apparently ac-
cepted the gift with the sole view of
gaining worldly advantage. So,
when it found that it's adopted child
was without patrimony and brought
no worldly profits, it deliberately de-
serted it and for more than a year,
Mercy hospital was unoccupied. By
the provisions of the deed, the build
ings and grounds now reverted to
the board of directors. Attempts
were made to find some other relig-
ious or civic society to accept and
conduct the hospital in accord with
the stipulation of its founder, but
the charity clause was in the way.
The fear that the hospital would be
a source of expense rather than one
of profit, caused many well-mean-
ing organization to hesitate. At last
the offer of the hospital was made
to the Sisters of Mercy, of st. Jo-
seph's hospital of Dubuque. The
offer of the hospital was accepted,
and on October 80, 1905, L. A. Nc
J. L. Kamrar and F.. E.
Wilson as trustees, conveyed the
hospital and grounds to St Joseph's
Mercy hospital of Dubuque, Iowa.
The Sisters of Mercy at once took
charge. Since that time no COM
plant has been made regarding its
financial success. Whether or not it
pays, in a worldly sense, is a mat
ter of minor Importance. A modern
hospital is now conducted in accord
lnce with the wishes and specifica-
ions of Jacob NJ Funk, it's founder,
and Webster City has refuge for
the sick and afflicted, and all who
apply are received without regard
to sex, color, nationality, religion or
financial condition.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 17 1914.

The dispatches from Washington the last few days would and probably did lead many to think that the Uni ted States had at last been compelled t. enter Mexico with an army. Or dcrs had been issued for the fleet to proceed to Tampico and 1t is now on it's way to that point to force the Mexican government to accede to the demands of the United States. But the astute Huerta indicates at the critical moment he will salute the American flag, if only the vessels will give d responsive salute to the presi- dent of Mexico. Our government sees nc objection to giving such salute as it would not be good manners for them to refuse to thus acknowledge the salute of the Mexicans.
 This will close this incident but the question is how soon will we be called upon to resent another insult or how fragrant the insult must be to be a casus beli.'
 The situation in Mexico seems to be getting no better pretty fast. A rev. olution is being carried on based upon no national demand for changes which will insure peace and quiet of the country - at least no such demand have been formulated or promulgated The revolutionists are led by men who violate every rule of modern war fare: kill their prisoners and in their own native country perpetrate suct crimes as would class them among the people as an ancient and not 6 modern civilization.
 If they win what can be expected Will they establish a stable govern. nent and bring about a change in DO. litical and industrial conditions with. cut which there can be no peace ir Mexico?
 Will they change the land system of Mexico so that the millions of ig- ncrant peon can secure home and means of livelihood without becom- ing a bandit or revolutionist? Will they. if successful. make any inn provement in the conditions of the great mass of Mexican people? There is nothing to indicate that they will nor is there anything to indicate that they even have any intention of doing SC nor is there any evidence of their ability to do so. Patriots do not slaughter their prisoners. rob and commit every kind beastial crime. lute and destroy cities wantonly. The rev. oiutionists are not patriots so what can be expected from them if success ful? If they fail what can be ex- pected from Huerta or his successo. wher he is murdered? Nothing good

Now that Delegate Wickersham has won his long. hard fight for an ap- pIopriation for railroad construction in Alaska, despite the opposition of tho seven syndicate senators and q cCterie of fawning sycophants who were looking for crumbs from tho syndicate table. scores of them will be trying to get in the Wickersham band wagon for no other purpose than to betray him and the people at first opportunity. Let these Guggenheim e flee coolers be invited to come to the Wilson -Wickersham mourner's bench, but 1t should be seen to that they are not permitted to crowd themselves into the pulpit and pro- claim themselves ordained ministers Of the Wilson Wickersham gospel until it is first shown that they have that good old democratic religion that makes men better
 On the back of the pamphlet con- tsining Judge Wickersham's grea; speech you will find this quotation from President Wilson's message to congress-: Alaska, as storeh6use should be unlocked. One key to it IS a system of railroads. These the gov ernment should itself built and ad- minister. and the ports and terminals It should itself control in the interest of all who wish to use them for the service and development of the coun- try and it's people" And to this Dele gate Wickersham subscribes the fol lowing: This is progressive demo- cracy. and shall give it my approva and support"
 The quotation from President VII. soE. is so much in harmony with tht views that Delegate Wickersham ha! advocated for the last few years II behalf of Alaska that it is difficult tt decide whether Wilson has been con verted to a W;ckersham progressiv, or Wickersham has been converted tc u progressive democrat. Let that b. as it may. they are both true friends of Alaska. Hurrah for the double w.. W.-Commoner.

Our own civil war was fought by ye ungsters gaining the physique of maturity upon the weary march com ing into their manhood upon the field of battle. The youth of Russia and Japan was drawn upon to settle the dispute between the robbers of ;i third nations lands. Scarce half the SC ldiers of the Balkan allies. it is said had down upon their cheeks, and in Mexico the guarrilla warfare is carried CT by boys who in a more advanced country would be in school. It is prob ably true that since the days when entire nations made profession of fighting lived by conquest and pros pered by the loot they took war has keen a duty always assigned to strip lings.
 If youth made war, there would b.. less of gross immortality about 1t. But youth is only the pawns of the fighting. only the creatures to be shot down to be laid open to the sins and temptations that trail in the wake of armies.
