people Of the two Americas was the
sentiment which prompted Brazil. Ar

The idea of offering mediation was
not that of Brazil alone. DR.. Miller

On the whole. however, the outlook

in Washington with more optimism to-

 Like the young man. who, though overgrown. keeps looking to his fath- CT for suggestions. the United States has had the habit of looking upon Europe as the guide in matters of culture and precedent We take our laws from Great Britain and our fashions from France. and We have been buying much of our chemicals and manufactured articles from Ger many This great war will have a tendency to make our nation more self-relant. and it may be assumed that if it keeps on for long, this country will become the guiding hand for all of the old countries
 If history is not going to repeat itself, and if we are not going to experience another intellectual night, such as the dark ages that followed the downfall of the early Greek and Roman learning it will probably be due to the ability of this nation to use her mighty strength in prevent ing destructive wars on this con

DANCING IN SCHOOL HOUSES.

In the larger cities of the United States, the school houses are being converted into social centers, where the people of the immediate neigh. borhoods may meet for social enter tainments in the evenings, when the buildings are not used for school purposes The pupils of the Fair banks schools are promoting dances as a form of entertainment in the schoolbuilding, and though the school board agreed to allow a dance, they placed so many restrictions about the permit that it takes away most Of the pleasure of the occasion
 Since time immemorial country school houses have been used for social purposes. for it was the only place where the young people could find room for spelling bees" and other forms of entertainment. But it was not until recently that the people of the cities awakened to the value of the school buildings to provide neighborhood sociability
 In many of the big schools of the cities. there are neighborhood par ties that serve to keep the young people from seeking questionable places for entertainment. This is only proper. for the buildings are

VOTE the entire Democratic ticket as an aid to Alaska's pros perity.
 MIR. BUNNELL is pledged to a progressive platform for Alaska. and is backed by party and the nation al administration. Remember that, MT. and Mrs. Voters.
 IF General Villa, the man who is said to be responsible for so much dissatisfaction in Mexico, is what his enemies say he is. the letters "i" and "n" should be added to his family name.
 THE Spasm is accusing the Times of getting money for it's political support. Really, now, isn't the Spasm in the same boat? It seems like case of the pot calling the kettle black.
 THE man who uses his best judg- ment in casting his vote will sell dom have occasion to "cuss" himself later for his error. The necessity
 
 congress must apeal to the best judgment of every voter.
 THE plan that is being fostered in the First division to get the government to put it's prisoners to work building trails and roads in Alaska is good one, and all parts of the Territory should lend their influence in getting the federal au- thorities to approve it.
 WHAT has probably injured Mr. Wickersham's standing in Washing ton more than anything else is the fact that he left there to conduct his own campaign when the Alaska coal leasing bill was being consider ed. Alaska's development has be-

 The trouble with the resolution passed by the women, Is that their efforts to promote race suicide must be limited largely to America. where conditions are not as bad as they are in Europe If the European mothers would take a similar action a greater good for humanity could probably be accomplished.
 The United States has had it's wars, but in no case has the war here been useless. The great Civil war promoted civilization, rather than injured it, for it freed a race of slaves. The Revolutionary war involved the right of the people of this country to make their own laws and to keep from being taxed by an European power for wars abroad The Mexican war was not so important, but it was not seri- ous conflict aed the loss of life was nominal The war with Spain was brought about to free the Cubans of the cruelties of the Spanish peo- pie, and was not a serious affair
 In the United States there is a stronger tendency for international peace than anywhere else in the world, which is made evident by the new peace treaties that this country has signed with foreign powers and by the constant effort being made here to keep away from international difficulty.
 Thus there is little use for a "stork strike" in the United States. though the action of the women in suggesting such a thing may ulti- mately have a response in Europe

MIR. ROTH'S GOOD START.

District Attorney Roth has named as two of his office assistants Harry Pratt and Reed Heilig, promising young men of this city. These ap- acts of the new district attorney. and if they are to be taken as an evidence of his official good judg ment, he will succeed in his new work.
 Both of the young men named are university graduates and they are the sons of two of the leading citizens of this city. They are industrious and earnest in their work, and it is to be expected that they will not permit their new posi- tions to turn their heads
 If the appointments of the two young men are approved in Wash ington by the attorney general of the United States, which will un- doubtedly be the case. the district attorneys office will have two veter- an lawyers in Mir. Roth and his assistant MT. Gardner and two young lawyers to aid them,
 Had Mir. Roth appointed older men for the positions. they would have been incumbered by political records that would have been made a subject of study by the depart
 ent before the appointments were approved. But with the two young lawyers, it cannot be said that they have dabbled in politics previously and the administration will almost certainly feel, as does Mir Roth and the rest of the people of Fairbanks, that it is better to give the posi- tions to promising young men of Fairbanks than to have strangers imported here to take the jops.

FARMERS FOLLOW MINERS.

When gold was discovered in Cali fornia it was known as the New Eldorado' and the rest of the coun- try never thought of it as being of mines. But when transcontinenta, railroads carried thrifty farmers to that country, something besides gold was looked for, and since that time California has grown to be d state of widely divergent sources of wealth, which are even now only partially developed.
 The citrus crop that was shipped out of California this last year brought to that state total of S35 900 900. more than the gold mines produced in any period of several years. And the citrus crop is but one of many kinds of products that makes California today one of the most wealthy districts in the world.
 What has happened to California may be expected to happen to some extent in Alaska The people were originally attracted here by the pla- cer mines. but others than miners will flock here with the advent of the new government railroad. The great valleys of Interior Alaska, which are greater in area than one of the average-sized states, have al ready proved to some extent their agricultural possibilities and with cheaper and more convenient trans portation facilities. they are certain to attract armies of homeseekers from the congested districts of the United States and Europe.
 But it was not the railroad alone that brought the homeseekers to California, and something more than a railroad will be needed here California's growth has been promot- ed from the start by persistent boosting The people of that state knew it paid to advertise, and they were not slow in letting the world know what their state promised to homeseekers
 If Alaska is going to get the full worth of it's new railroad, it must not hide it's light under a bushel," !" but must educate the world on what the Territory has in the way of natu- ral resources. And in this work, every individual who writes letters to the Outside can play an import ant part.

PROMOTING RACE SUICIDE.

Protests against the useless sacri- flee of life in the war in Europe, are being made in the neutral coun- tries in many ways, but the most novel is the action taken by the convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, held early in the week at Akron, Ohio, when it was resolved that women should refuse to contribute to the future supply of babies, which grow up to be shot at the will of some monarch.
 While 1t is not probable that the efforts of the Woman's Christian Temperance union in this respect will accomplish much, their atti- tude in the matter Is worthy of serious consideration. Bringing a new life into the world and caring

TESTING FOR RADIUM.

When one realizes that an ounce of 'radium is worth about s900000, and that the possessor of a little more than an ounce would be a mil much effort is not made to find it as to get gold, which has so much less value.
 It seems that but little effort has been made to locate radium in Alas ka, and as far as anyone knows it may be rich in that valuable ele- ment, which is doing so much in the medical world.
 Radium is found most frequently in pitchblende, a stone that resem- bles lava to great extent The pitchblende is usually of a brown black color. and so much like or dinary lava in appearance that it can easily be mistaken for it.
 Prospecting for radium is simple, and any person with slight knowl- edge of photography can easily de- termine, it is asserted, if it is pres ent in rock.
 To test a piece of pitchblende for radium, one should take an unex- posed dry plate, such as is used in an ordinary camera. and while keep it protected from light, place upon it a dime. On this piece of money, should be placed piece of the rock to be tested, and this should be left on the dryplate for several hours, while the light is excluded.
 When the dime and the rock are removed from the dryplate, the lat ter should be developed in the same manner that photographer devel- ops negative from a dry plate If there is radium in the rock thus tested. there will be a dark line radi- ating from the place where the dime rested, though the spot on which the dime was placed will be free from effects of the mineral
 It was through this simple test that the radium mines in Colorado were discovered It is so simple that any one can do it. provided a little care is taken in the process.
