PATRIOTIC ALASKA

Dawson News)
 Alaska the neighbor of the Yukon, is preparing to help Uncle Sam and the Allies in the war. Nc doubt Alaska will do her share
 Norherners not slow in game. They represent the best form of many climes
 Yukoners already have distinguished themselves in many of the hardest fought battles of the war Alaskans doubt will prove of the same stern mettle.
 Yukon has sent 10 per cent of her white popu lation. If Alaska does well she will have big force to her credit But, of Uncle Sam not conscript method from the start Alaska's pro rata therefore, may call at first for much smaller per centage of her population than Yukon has sent to date But the is not yet and both Terri tories yet have time and perhaps opportunity await ing them to write much of the stirring history of the worlds brave deeds to their credit.
 Alaska has formed many patriotic societies and also is be taxed like other parts of the Union for the fighting of the Nations battles Alaska, there fore, will contribute of her men and money. Those who taxed and who fight Nations battles de the highest privileges within the gift of a Nation. The Alaskans, well as the YukOners, are fighting for democracy and all that the prehends. Yukoners in contributing their wealth and men to Canada has representations full voice. fullfedged member in the National assembly of They have Delegate to Congress, but he has only voice. He is merely spokesman and has not vote in Congress- America now has the opportunity to do the graceful thing for her brave Alaska Let full representation in Congress; at least make the necessary amendment to permit her member of the bly,.
 Men who fight for Nation and help pay it's debts are entitled to share in the shaping of the destiny of that Nation Let Uncle Sam get into step with Johnny Canuck this broad principle of dem ocracy.

WHIPPERSNAP POLITICS

Senator James Watson of Indiana who used to be the Republican whip of the House and is pretty much of whppersnapper politician at all times, made a rankly partisan speech before the Republican State convention of Virginia the other day, in which he charged the Democratic party with "the most founding piece of treachery that shook this country"
 And why: Because. he said President Wilson had been reelected platform declaring for peace and had immediately plunged the country into
 Of course everybody with grain of sense knows that President Wilson to lengths that few states would have gone to keep the country out of war. Senator Watson ignores the fact that the war brought about by Germany's declaration of sub marine ruthlessness The United States could have kept out only by unparalleled exhibition of cow ardce which would itself have contained the seeds of innumerabe future
 But little thing like the accuracy of history which is not yet year-old does not bother small bore politician when he wants to be real partisan.
 If Senator Jim Watson wishes to plant flowers the grave of Republican party, just let him com init the party to the strain of talk he has started in Virginia.

BOOZE TO REMAIN EVEN IF COUNTRY
 SEEMS VERY DRY

Old John Barleycorn is bit groggy these days. But he is not knocked out yet, though he has stood for a good many hard punch es. To put him out is impossible 90 long as he has the "old family remedy"-the stuff that comes from ,he drugstores, in a medicine bottle to fall back upon.
 You see, the old family remedy is about as stiff" in alcohol as whiskey. Often it is much stiffer That is the reason why it is a standby in many families that would lot permit a bottle of rye or bour- )on to be brought into the house. It is the standard domestic conso- lation in prohibition communities
 If you want to stimulate" with. out scandalizing the neighbors you can buy from the corner apothecary orange bitters," which contain 40 per cent. of alcohol. Of you may prefer stomach bitters," with Al per cent; or "celery extract" with f3 per cent; or beef and malt ton. e." with 43 per cent, or ginger tonic," with A per cent.
 Whiskey rarely contains more han 50 per cent. of alcohol, so hat such medicines are just about IS encouraging to the consumer Many of them are much stronger han whiskey To indorse which statement, it is as well to say that hese figures here given are fur nished by the government.
 You can purchase at the drug store so-called strengthening elk 'r' that is 45 per cent. alcohol. A 'peppermint-drop compound" con .ains 45 per cent; rheumatic rem natic bitters." 51 per cent; another kind of bitters, 59 per cent; celery bitters," 63 per cent, and an "ex ract of herbs and roots," 66 per cent
 But if you want to get the straight tor nearly) alcoholic goods, you should ask the apothecary's clerk for bone liniment." It is highly recommended for bones (when ex formally applied,) but who would think of wasting in such a fashion fluid that is S7 per cent. alcohol
 Some brands of Jamaica ginger. however, are better yet, going up as high as 92H per cent. in alcoho content. That is about twice as strong as average whiskey.
 The manufacturer of the old fam fly remedy has the whiskey dis tiller badly handicapped. He pays not a penny of tax. His stuff sells for about the same price as whis key. and the proceeds are nearly all velvet" Just now he is chuck ling over the prospect of nation wide prohibition law, in the expec tation that it will multiply his prof it's. The demand for alcohol vii continue and he expects to furnish It. Philadelphia Ledger.)

A RED LETTER DAY" VISIT
(Whitehorse Starr

The visit to the Whitehorse copper belt last week of Messrs Sweeter and Stephen mining engineers representing the Granby Smelling Co.,. gives promise at the writing of becoming red letter event in the history of quartz mining industry in Southern Yukon and Northern British Columbia. The entrance into this field of company with unlimited capital at its command for development work and subsequent mining operation will mean, believe the uncOv ering of large and valuable deposits of gold, silver copper and other minerals that would not otherwise have been brought into market for years, and possi bly never; and it also that if the good opinion these men already hold of the extent and value of mineral deposits in the WhitehOrse copper belt are confirmed by prospecting with diamond drill, that it will not be many months before concentration works will be put up at convenient place in the district thereby reducing the transportation costs of the products of the mines to such extent that low grade properties that lying undeveoped be opened up profit to the concentrator and to the themselves.

 The facts these: Before 1914 party lines had not been drawn in Alaska legislative elections except by the Socialists There was division of opn- ion in that year to whether not they should be drawn then.
