CORRESPONDENCE
Fairbanks, Oct. 29. 1914.

Fairbanks Oct. 29. 1914.
 To the Editor of The Citizen:
 Permit me through the columns
 of your paper to ask our present delegate from Alaska, MT. James Wickersham, one or two questions
 which some of the voters of this and other districts are not quite clear upon.
 Is 1t a fact that the bill for the
 detention hospital in Fairbanks was drawn up and introduced by you (Wickersham). and is it fact that the bill contained nothing whatever in regard to a site to build it upon,
 or nothing whatever pertaining to it's maintenance?
 Did you upon the public plat form in Juneau recently make the statement that you had purposely sidetracked your interest in the ap- propriation for federal building in Fairbanks in the interest of other | federal appropriations for the city of Juneau?
 l Have you, according to the rec ords. at any time used your influ- ence at Washington to defeat any bills or measures relating to ap- propriations for road improvements
 in Alaska? If so would you kindly
 state your reasons for so doing9 i Did you write. or caused to be written and given to a member of our past legislature certain instruc- tions, rules, etc, which you advised and told him if possible to have passed. and which has as the pub lie of Alaska fully knows, acted more in the nature of a boomerang i than anything else? Would you | please come out straightforwardly and tell us definitely what you really claim to be (poltcally. mean)? Possibly it may be none of our business. However. if you do
 not deign to reply, I will have to ask some of our Socialist friends
 in and around Fairbanks and | feel quite sure they can tell us. Now, MT. Editor. could fill many sheets of fooscap along the
 same lines of query. but it is to you
 and some of the public all history and l do not wish to further take
 I'D your valuable space in The
 Citizen. So to conclude. providing MT. Wickersham does care to reply | lo tilNoV dutSliollS, Ht ploDdDlS

 but We will try and overlook that part of it, providing he will tell us simply and truthfully what We all wish to know regarding our | Alaskan affairs and legislature So, now. sir with a friendly word
 of caution to our delegate when next he visits the historical city of Cinema for some of the Old Guards
 are still there, and in conversation with one of them few days ago he finished his remarks by quot ing that grand and truthful old
 'aving of late noble President, Abraham Lincoln, viz: That you
 can fool some of the people some
 of the time, etc, etc, and there are still some left who say that Cinema is where Fairbanks ought to be,
 and Fairbanks is where Cinema ought to be. JOHN LAW.

WAR AND CIVILIZATION.

There are historians who insist that history runs in cycles that civ ilization progresses and then after it reaches a climax, begins to go backward until it reaches the start ing point again.
 To limited extent this may prove to be true This destructive
 war in Europe may be taken as Ithe first step backward for civliza- tion, after the climax of scientific research, education and invention has been reached. It has already
 been asserted by some historians that the present war will set civiI- years.
 Really, this is very dismal
 thought, and at the first suggestion i it seems quite possible, in the light of the way the best manhood of
 Europe is being sacrificed in whole sale quantities in Europe But after taking into consideration the fact that some of the enlightened nations, including the United States, will
 probably keep out of it, there is | hope for a new growth in civiliza- tion after the European nations have
 had time to recover from the ef- fleets of the great demoralizing con- flict.
 What may really result from the war, if it keeps up at its present
 destructive manner for a long time,
 will be the transforming of the Western continent into the seat of
 wealth culture and progress, to
 which crippled Europe will appeal for an uplifting hand
 Europe has always been a house
 divided against itself" Much of its
 vitality is constantly being sapped by war and war preparations, while on this continent the people have, Isince the Civil war in the United States, been enabled to concentrate their efforts in other ways. That is fone reason for the wonderful rapid ity with which the American peo-
 pie have been enabled to build up such a magnificent government in
 such short time.
 Although the youngest of the great
 nations, the United States is by far
 the wealthiest of them all. Statis-
 tics given in the Worlds Almanac
 place the estimated wealth of this country at s13O,OOO.O 100000 The
 second wealthiest nation is Great Britain. with total of $SO.000. .000,-

 comes Germany with $60000, 900 900, and Russia with $40.00O. 100000. But if the United States had been

 Mrs. Brooks, formerly Miss Flora Bowler, sued because she said her husband in fit of anger had threat ened to sue the anti-fat doctor for alienating her affections.
 Justice Lehman denied Mrs Brooks motion for alimony, and plainly told her lawyer that he did not believe Mrs. Brooks had a reasonable cause for complaint.

WILL SONS PLEA TO AlASkANS.

Now that President Woodrow Will son has telegraphed his desire that Charles E. Bunnell, Democratic nominee for congress. be elected. every patriotic voter in Alaska, re gardless of political affiliations, should support him.
 Every man and woman in Alaska is deeply indebted to President Will son for what he has accomplished for this Territory. The only thing be is asking in return for Lis favors is that the people here elect the Democratic nominee for congress, and the voter who refuses to respond to the request can hardly be term ed true patriot.
 Two of the strongest elements in the makeup of the human mind are the sentiments of patriotism and ap- preciation. It is patriotism that is inducing men to lay their lives dowl4 for their respective countries in Europe. If patriotism can cause thousands of men to sacrifice their lives on it's altar, it would seem that it could do as much or more in the matter of guiding mems actions at elections
 A vote for MT Bunnell is vote for Alaska's best interests. That is an assertion that can hardly be questioned, for even a school boy knows that the party in power in Washington has full control of the situation and can aid or hinder the development of territory.
 It is not in human nature to re- turn good for evil, even though the Bible says that should be done. If you find that a man fails to appre ciate your efforts in his behalf you will naturally drop him. Thus it is with the Democrats in Washington who have given Alaska a railroad, a coal leasing bill and are removing the conservation restrictions in the Territory. If the people here cannot respond to this and give their CO., operation, it will be an evidence to the administration in Washington that the people here do not have the welfare of the Territory at heart and that further aid in their behalf is quite useless.
 The endorsement of MT Bunnell by the administration is the strong est that could be made First the chairman of the Democratic Nation al Congressional committee sent hls endorsement to MT. Bunnell and eX- pressed the desire that everybody in Alaska should vote for him. Then the President, to make the matter signature the following:
 May l not, upon the eve of cleo tion, send you my greetings and express my earnest hope that you will be sent to my support by the people of your Territory?"
 This appeal to the voters of Alas ka is direct and complete and leaves no room for doubt It has exploded for all time the assertions that have been made by Mir Wickersham that he Is in close touch with the admin istration.
 That MT, Wickersham is not held in high regard by the President of the United States and the others there who are in political power is certain to be a death blow to the Wickersham campaign, for the sturdy Alaskans are just as patriotic and just as appreciative as any other class of Americans. That this is true will be made evident when the votes are counted tomorrow night.

built by the people of the cities in which they are located. and they are not dedicated 10 any sacred uses that will prevent entertainments.
 One of the restrictions placed by the Fairbanks school board on the dancing in the school building is that only students may be permit ted 10 attend It is hard 10 under stand wherein there is justice in this limitation. for the building is the property of the community. and should be enjoyed by all. Would it not be best 10 make the school teaching force responsible for the conduct of the dance and then let the pupils go ahead and enjoy them selves in way that is harmless?
 In almost all colleges. except. perhaps, those of a religious nature student dances are promoted. There are no silly restrictions placed about the students in such dances, except that the affairs must be under the direction of such members of the faculty as may be appointed to be present and see that objectionable characters do not interfere with the affair Such dances are held in the college buildings.
 In the United States military aca- demy at West Point. the cadets are trained to dance It is considered by the officers in charge of the institution that dancing adds to the grace and easy carriage of military officers, and each must learn at least the ordinary steps.
 It is safe to say that there is not state university or agricultural mote and foster proper dances for the students. It is true that dancing is not permitted to interfere with the studies of the students, but it is held that by providing entertain ment under the direction of the college authorities. the young people are not compelled to go to dances where they will not have the best associates.
 Here in Fairbanks there is little for the young folks to enjoy in the way of entertainment. unless they are compelled to pay good prices for il. Thus, under the direction of the school board and the teaching force. the pupils should be permitted to have various forms of entertainment in the school building
 Undue restrictions of such affairs can only serve to take away the pleasure of the entertainment. and thus reduce their value in the mat ter of providing wholesome pastime for the young folks. It is true that there are dances that should not be permitted in schools, or anywhere else. for that matter Tagging" is barred in most respectable dances in the States, and it is not wrong that the pupils should be discoura sed from practicing it.
 The proper way to handle such things is to place the responsibility of the affair on the teachers of the school who know the individual pu- pills and their reliability Then let the teaching force cooperate with committees of the pupils to see that order and decency prevails at the dance. Other restrictions are use less

THE THE PRAYER.

Lord. If some little children of Jul day
Must spend their lives beside our
factory wheels,
Watching the endless hours to drae
away,
Must learn how heartache feels, how
hunger feels,
II they must toss and mutter In their
sleep
Too tired to rest, when fevered rest
might be,
l care not. Lord, I only ask to keep
Nine safe with me!
Lord, If the streets unwholesome
noise and mirth
When the days poor-paid drudgery
Is done
Must draw the wearied little maids OF
Into a hell that waits them, one by
one.
If SCARED and starved. like fall'r
leaves helpless blown
These must the shame Of living
still endure
1 shall not murmur. Lord, but keer
mine own
Guarded and purei
And Lord, If these be many who COM
plain
In bitter poverty and toll and tears
Who know their loved ones hungry
and in pain,
And faint beneath the burden of the
years,
Keep Thou mine eyes from sight OF
such as these,
Keep Thou my mind from knowins
this must be,
And, gracious Lord, still grant Thou
wealth n ease
To mine and me!
