THE TIMES IS IN ERROR.

WHEN the Anchorage Times telks of unions and unionism we believe it should hold its head above water and call for help, as 1t is undoubtedly beyond its depths. The Alaska Labor Union so-called is an off-shoot directly of the Industrial Workers of the World; their letters to the Prospector when the union was organized stated that the Anchorage body would not affiliate with the American Fed eration of Labor. A member having a card from the Alaska Labor Union would not be considered Union man in the States, for they would have no representation in the Federation, and no voice in Federation matters. The Western Federation of Miners are true-blue Union men because they are affiliated with the parent body, and they are working unanimously tor Sulzer. We now hold and have held card in the Typographical Union for score of years. Our Union has rep resentation with the parent body, and we pay dues to it. The Anchorage Union owes allegiance to no other organization and has no authority for its existence. The members may and undoubtedly are as fine a bunch of hard-working men as ever organiz- ed, but they are entitled to no recog- hilton from a Union man so long as they work along the lines of the In dustrial Workers of the World,-and if the editor of the Anchorage Times had half as much knowledge of Un- ion conditions as he has of politics he would know this.
 We desire no discussion with the Times over the sterling worth of the members of the Anchorage Union; {; that is admitted. The men have a right to use any means in their power to better their conditions. They have the inalienable right given to every freeman to vote for the Delegate, and no one with an atom of American ism in his makeup can dispute it.; but when the Times tries to assure it's readers that Delegate Wickersham is receiving the Union vote of the Terri tory, or any part of it. it is grossly in error. The only Union in this neck of the woods is the Western Fedora tion of Miners,-and they have come out for the man who would save Alaska for Alaskans-Charles A. SulZer.

Ev- cry other political organization and race was represented in the Babel of Tongues which greeted the Savior of Alaska, her True Friend; but the fatted calf was sacrified upon the altar of Progressiveism; our returned Prod igal dallied with the flesh-pots of po- !itical licentiousness.

AUTO-HYPNOSIS.

Our Delegate undoubtedly is going upon the theory that if he reiterates a thing often enough his hearers will believe it. And those who have not informed themselves upon his actions in Congress probably will. but 1t is the duty of every man to investigate these matters for himself. The fact that a politician gets upon a public rostrum and claims certain bills as his own will convince no thinking person. Tho average voter does not want to be shown. He wants to vote for the man of his choice, and more than likely the man of his choice is the wrong man for the good of the Territory. Unless you can differen- tiate between hot-air and facts you should get the Congressional Record and read up. Wickersham is an able
 brainy man,---a thoroughly ikeable man,-but we do not believe he is the best man to represent the Terri 
 tified with too many factions and in dependent parties. A man to wield influence in the House."f Represents tives must be identified with ONE party or the other and must work in harmony with his cOnfreres Mir
 Wickersham does not do this. He has no alliances; he is on no commit tees of importance. his influence in the House is so slight he must have his bills introduced and shielded be- hind the bills of the Congressmen from other States. This is not good thing for the greatest Territory in America. We should have man who commands the respect and es- teem of his compatriots. MT. Wick. ersham's private life is without re. proach; as Delegate he has outlived his use to the Territory. As a citi- zen he is a man of great ability; as a representative he is intensely hos tile to Valdez and her interests. MT Wickersham has conducted a digni. fled campaign without indulging in personalities or vituperation of his op- ponents. He has stated certain facts which the records do not bear out as to his conduct in Washington. The Territory will not go to the demnition bOw-wows with Mr. Wickersham as delegate; the old ship of state will move along as sedately as it has here tofore: but we believe the best inter ests of the Territory require change of representatives at the capital; and we further believe that Mr. Sulzer is the better man for the place.

THE FIRE boys made a quick run the other night to the scene of the incipient confiagration in Rudolph Court. In less than five minutes after the tap of the bell line of hose was stretched and the boys ready for busi- ness. Valdez has a most excellent volunteer force. And while we are on this subject, we might state that large part of the efficiency of the fire boys is due to the efforts of Engi- neer Graham at the fire hall, in keep ing the apparatus up to high state of efficiency. A good fire department is a valuable asset to any city.

WOMAN AND THE ARTS.
Why She ExosIs In Writing and Not
 In Music and Painting.


 In Music and Painting.
 The average woman possesses a greater variety of character, as of wardrobe, than does the man. She can more readily lay aside or suppress some important part of her and bring some contrasting feature Into view. She carries in herself a ready wealth that is more applicable to the story than to painting or to music. Thus 1t Is, writes George Nj. Stratton in the Atlantic Monthly, that in painting and in music she Is to be passed by man with ease, but in the story. if at all. with greatest effort
 the nObler work of reproducing the music of the great composers, as in acting the characters of the great dramatists, there aIe women of high and even of highest rank. But. to leave these more interpretive or reproductive arts, only in fiction does she approach the mark of men, for here she must be counted with the great of the craft.
 And, even should some grabbed soul insist that the rare company in which are George Eliot, Jane Austen. George Sand. Mime. de Stael and the Queen of Navarro does not include the one who Is gIaatest in the guild. yet there is no discomfort felt in naming these wom- en along with Scott and Dickens, Ger. vantes, Hugo and BOccaccio. But speak of the other creative arts and we feel at once the chill. Chaminade looks i'll at ease in the presence of Beethoven. Joanna Baillie with Shakespeare, An gelika Kauffmann with Michelangelo.

MUSIC FESTIVALS.
The, Really Began With the Great
 Handsrs Works In London.

The, Really Began With the Great
 HandsI's Works In London.
 The real "era of musical festivals" begins with the great Handel com memoration, with its festival perform ances, held in London first from 17S4 to 17S7 and then again in 1791. Be fore this there had been music festi- vals in England, but they were virtual ly unknown on the continent It was the efficiency of the English choirs that Induced Handel to take up the writing of works for large musical bodies in his oratorios.
 The annual production of "The Mes siah" in London at Christmas time, with a great chorus and orchestra. nat urally aroused the national pride of the Germans, who felt that the great master belonged by birth to them. Berlin first and then other German cities began to give Handel festivals on the London plan, and soon the works of other composers were added to the festival lists.
 So that at the beginning of the nine. teenth century several organizations devoting their energies to the produc. tion of any great work, whether choral or purely instrumental sprang into ex. istence in Germany" Among the old, est of these and among the most ia nous to this day are the Vienna Gesell' schaft der Musikfreunde and the Me derrheinische Musikfeste, which take place each year in some city on the lower Rhine.
 The United States has followed the example set first by the English and then by the Germans in their musical festivals, and in several of the larger cities there are yearly festivals of this kind.-New York Times.

The Rssult of . Drink.

Such slight circumstance as a glass of wine changed the history of France for nearly twenty years. Louis Phi. nppe. king of the French, had a son. the Duke of Orleans and heir to the throne, who always drank only cer- tain number of glasses of wine. be- cause even one more made him tipsy. On a memorable morning he forgot to count the number of his glasses and took one more than usual. When en. tering his carriage he stumbled, fright. ening the horses and causing them to run. In attempting to leap from the carriage his head struck the pavement. and he soon died. That glass of wine overthrow the Orleans rule, c0nascat- ed their property of $10O,O0O.OOO and sent the whole family into exile.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT has shown himself in recent years to be nothing more than an opportunity of the most glaring kind. He has even deserted the party which he created. We have many politicians in Alaska and all over the United States who have no party but the party they ex- pect to be uppermost. Such men should not be placed in control of the government of anything.-Gateway.

Camsls.

Unless camels have been especially trained to abstinence they cannot go as long as is commonly supposed without water. When marching near rivers they drink twice a day. They feed largely on the tough, scrubby verdure known locally as camel thorn, which grows throughout MesoDotamia, ex- cept on the extreme desert wastes. Their habits are peculiar. Unlike horses, they seem to feel no fOndness for their human associates, though they will seldom wander far from the caravan tents even if left united over night.
