A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION

The Democratic candidate for Delegate Congress circles
about Cordova last evening" his from Southeastern
Alaska to his home at Valdez. Mr.. Bunne made yer
favorable impression and strengthened himself and the Demo
cratic among the people with whom he in contact
Within week two he expects to return and address tn
in public meeting Referring to his candidacy tn
Juneau Empire says:
The progressive principle in Alaska politics in the
political campaign that in this territory is
represented by Charles E. Bunnel and the Democratic
platform which he stands His is the candidacy that
offers Aaskans the hope of sefgovernment He is the
candidacy for Delegate to Congress who would make
real American citizens Of the people of Alaska. The
platform which he stands is the which proposes
to accept the suggestion of President Wilson, and ask
Congress and the President for full territorial
government.
And Mr.. Bunnell in every right way is the personi-
fcaon of the principle for which he is conending. He
is Alaskan citizen in all that the term implies. His
life is of the wool and web of the permanent home
building commonwealth constructing phase of Northern
development. He is progressive and constructive He
possesses that confidence in the people which is the
of democracy He is able in any company, and

THE HORRORS OF WAR


W. P Richardson makes it clear that not fighting
nation and that differ from European countries that
we large standing army and do not train
young with the idea of ultimately engaging battle
While it is the desire of Uncle Sam to have his regulars
well drilled and qualified with proper understanding OF the
requirements of conflict the Colonel explains that this done
with the idea of defense rather than aggression
He declares that the conditions in Europe appalling
almost beyond the comprehension OF the average mind Ana
he believes that Aaskans and Americans generally have cause
for great rejoicing that they far removed from the scene
of bloody warfare
Already thousands have been moved down before the
guns and artillery of the conendng forces and the fields OF
Belgium being strewn for miles with the dying and
wounded bodies of untold numbers And this is only the
beginning that may we'll appreciate the remarks of Col
Richardson who views ndescrbabe and prolonged scene
of horrors and wanton waste.
But
If all the warning nations of Europe tomorrow
drop hosties leave boundaries they were, forget
reprsas and their subjects the vast they
have for expenditures think what would happen!
How many boys and girls would be equipped with educa
TONS who otherwise struggle along without them!
How many cripples provided with artificial limbs!
How many sick restored to health
How many discoveries and inventions worked out which
halt for want of funds!
How many toilers rested and given fresh start!
How many babies lives saved!
How many books written
How many debts paid!
How many homes made happy!
How many lives would be saved
How much suffering of manned and wounded would be
eliminated
How many DESTROYED towns and desoated fields would
be avoided!
1t would be the easiest thing in the world.
It is simply matter of saying 'We governments exist
for the real benefit of peoples for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of officials the satisfaction OF ancient grudges nor even
the glory of our nations.
We simply great numbers of people, suffering rejoc
ing starving feastng, toing, learning living and dying
.sWhat profteth it nation if it shall conquer the whole
world the of the lives and happiness of thousands of
its people?"
And yet there is earth, apparently that can

of European nations, self consciousness And

wait until they from their madness.
