AJ.aSKANS WANT SOMETHING
 TO NAME FOR BROOKS

Anyone knowing of nice, hlgh ,nounta;.. a Alaska without a name one a little higher than Mount Nc kin1ey preferred; or failing noun tain, if,they know of river in Alas ka that is as big or a little bigger than the Yukon, they will confer a favor on a number of residents of the Territory and of the Fairbanks re- zion in particular, by sending infor- nation as to location and other par tfculars. The Fairbanksians want to name it Mount Brooks or Brooks River. in honor of Alfred H. Brooks, head of the United States geological survey.
 Brooks spent seventeen years 1n scientific exploring in Alaska. He has discovered numberless unnamed riv- CTS and mountains, and has indicated a dozen times the places where gold and other minerals would be found. He explored the headwaters of the Tanana River many years ago. In 1902 his reports indicated that gold would be found at 8 certain point on this stream. Prospectors went there with the result that thetown of Fair banks sprang into being. Two or three years ago his reports indicated the presence of placer gold in the Tol- ovana region. It was found there by Jay Livingood on a stream which he named for himself.
 AlasAans are not ungrateful. They had seen atheir mountains and rivers and towns named for people of more or less consequence and thought it about time that the head of the geo. logical department should be recog- nized. He had been too modest to name anything for himself. So, when someone at the miners meeting fol- lowing the discovery, asked for sug- gesti0ns on a name for the camp, a dozen voices shouted: Let's name it after Doctor Brooks!" It was car ried unanimously and enthusiastical- H. Brooks it was.
 But 1t didn't remain Brooks very long. A postoffice was asked for, and then some clerk down at Washing ton discovered that there are al- ready a couple of postoffices in the States named Brooks, so they chang ed the northern one to Livengood.
 Were the miners going to stand for this affront to their meeting? They were not. They consulted Fed eral Judge Charles E. Bunnell, re questing him to creat new district and directing that the court be situ- ated at the city of Brooks. So, here after, letters must be addressed to Brooks, Alaska, Livengood postof- fice."
 And that isn't tho end of 1t. The Northerners are going out to look for a new mountain or @ big river 60 they can name it Brooks; and if the postal authorities are not watch full they are liable to steal the name from Mount Mckinley or St. Elias and stick up Brooks monument at the summit.-J. J. Underwood in Seat tie Times. .-, e.. ~

THE WAGE-EARNER VOTE

The Wilson campaign managers are
making advance statements, based upon
no evidence that is tangible or apparent,
which speak with cock-sureness about |
carrying for Wilson states that are
normally Republican. Some of the
sporting men who are taking the Wilson
end of the betting have apparently
caught this feeling of cocksureness, for
they are, in instances. willing to bet
even money that Wilson will be elected.
The theory. upon which the Democratic
managers and the Democratic sport
ing men are taking prophecies and
cash is not concealed. They believe
that the bulk of the organized labor
vote can be and will be delivered by
Samuel Gompers and various heads of
labor organizations in bulk to the Demo-
cratic candidate. Can this thing be
done? Are the wage earners of these
United States, whether organized into
unions or not, so blind as to permit
themselves to be delivered a living
sacrifice? We use the phrase ito be
delivered living sacrifice" guardedly
and thoughtfully, for that expresses
exactly what would take place if the
wage earners could be delivered in vol
ume, on election day, to the Democratic
party.
The Democratic party in its theories,
in its applied policies, has absolutely
nothing but husks and delusive hopes to
offer wage earners. If the Democratic
party should remain in power for four
more years the industrial decentralization
that had already begun during the first
year under the Democratic tariff will
come again as soon as the war lifts the
gates to low-wage foreign products. |
1t is only the war that has saved. Ameri-
can industries from the terrible stagna-
ton during the era of Democratic con-
troll from 1903 to 1907. The Democratic
tariff is still in force and will stay in
force if Wilson is elected, because, even
though there should be a Democratic
Congress, Wilson would never sign a
tariff embodying the protective princi- !
pie. 1t was the protective policy of
the Republican party that raised wage
scales in the United States to more than
double the average of outside wage
scales. Can the wage earners of this
country be fooled by a pipe dream? |
Does Samuel Gompers carry organized
labor in his vest pocket? They are not
being fooled; Gompers cannot deliver
the wage-earner vote as living sacri- |
flee to Wilson.

MR.. TAFT IS sure
OF MARYLAND
Republican State Chairman Sees
Victory All Along Line
For the Ticket.

Galen l.. TAFT, chairman of the Re
publican State Central Committee, sees
a Republican victory all along the line
in Maryland at the election on Tuesday
of next week. Mr.. TAFT yesterday
made the following statement regard
ing the political outlook, the conduct of
the campaign and the enthusiasm and
harmony which characterize the Re
publicans in their determination to
place Maryland in the Hughes column,
to elect Dr. France senator and the
several candidates for Congress:
At the beginning of this the last
week Of the Maryland campaign the in
dications are for the election of Hughes
and Fairbanks, DR.. France and a strong
Republican congressional representa-
ton This opinion is based on the solid
ground of known facts. The campaign
waged by the Harrington Kelly Lewis
combination has been lame and hating
and has not met with the approval of
the Independent and liberal minded
citizens of the state, many of whom
usually support the Democratic ticket.
Realization is growing upon labor
industry and business that the old ad-
age, In times of peace prepare for
war" must be reversed. The present
American version should be, 'In times
of war prepare for peace" the peace
which means that 20, coo, co soldiers
now in the trenches will at once begin
to compete bitterly with and fight our
people in industrial warfare with but a
knee-hIgh Democratic tariff wall be-
tween to protect US against the invasion
of cheap European goods. The Repub-
lican party is united. Republican regis
tration showed net gain oyer the OPP
position of at least 5000 votes. Pro-
gressives are now working shoulder to
shoulder with Republicans.
All elements are together. That this
is true IS attested by the prominence
and representative character of the ex-
ecutive committee, which has been
working with state headquarters in
this campaign and to whose faithful
service the success of the big Hughes
and Taft and other meetings are to be
In large measure attributed. That all
elements are together is further yindi-
Gated by a friendly meeting which took
place Saturday afternoon atthe Belve-

Notice to Subscribers.

Beginning November LIST 1916, the subscription price
of The Republican will be advanced from $l25 per year
to $50 per year, This advance in price is made I'M
willingly by the publisher but at the time it is
absolutely necessary by of the fact that every
single item going into the making Of newspaper, ncud
ing inks paper and fixed charges has so advanced that
the present subscription price of 825 per year is much
less than the cost Of production.
News print paper has advanced from 81 per hundred
pounds to 500 per hundred pounds while inks have adj
vanced from cents per pound to IS per pound
within the past six months 1t was the hope of the
management that prices would become normal and this
advance in the price Of subscription would not be nece
sary; but instead indications are that all material will
become higher.
Anyone desiring to pay their subscription in advance
prior to November lst may do the present for
period Ofno more than year All subscriptions that
are now paid in advance will be continued the full time
paid for All subscriptions in arear must be promptly
settled as we cannot longer carry delinquens.
