End of Autocracy Desired.
And there is no other way to dis

Dy the common agreement of the
fighting nations of the world. And
here is the agreement. They promise
disarmament, and promise to agree
upon plan. But there was some
thing else We wanted that is ac

to destroy autocratic authority every

see to it that there was no place i'll

as pawns in game: that there was
no place in the world where a small

fellow citizens to the battlefield, and

what we wanted to accomplish.
The most startling thing that de-
veloped itself at the opening of our
participation in this war was not the
military preparation of Germany-we
were familiar with that. though we
had been dreaming that she would
not use it-but her political prepare
ton; to find that every community in
the civilized world was penetrated
by her intrigue. The German people
did not know that, but it was known
in Wilhelmstrasse, where the central
Offices of the German government
were, and Wilhelmstrasse was the
master of the German people; and
this war. my fellow citizens. has
emancipated the German people as
well as the rest of the world.
I'VE don't want to see anything like
that done again. because we know
that democracy will only have to
destroy that form of government. and
if we don't destroy 1t now. the job
is still to be done, and by combina-

Urges Majority Rule.

MY fellow citizens. it does not
make any difference what kind of a
minority governs you, if it is mi
nority. And the thing we must see
to is that no minority anywhere masters
the majority. That is at the heart, my
fellow citizens, of the tragical things
that are happening In that great
country which we long to help and
can find no way that is effective to
help mean tn great realm of Rus
STA. The men who are now meas
urably in control of the affairs of
Russia represent nobody but them
selves. They have again and again
been challenged to call constitution
al convention. They have again and
again been challenged to prove that
they had some kind of q mandate
even from a single class Of their fell
low citizens. And they dared not at
tempt it; they have no mandate from
anybody. There are only thlrty-four
Of them. l am told. and there were
more than thirty -four men who used
to control the Gestinies of Europe
from Wilhelmstrasse. There is a
closer monopoly of power in Petro-
grad and Moscow than there ever was
in Berlin, and the thing that is in
tolerable is not that the Russian peo-
pie are having their way. but that an
other group of men more cruel than
the car himself is controlling the
destinies of that great people. And
want to say here and now that l am
against the control of any minority
anywhere"
search your own economic history
and what you have been uneasy about
Now and again you have said there were
small groups of capitalists who were
controlling the Industry and therefore
the development of the United States.
Seriously, my fellow citizens, If that is
so land ! sometimes have feared that it
was) we must break up that monopoly.
am not now saying that there is any
group of our fellow citizens who are
consciously doing anything Of the kind.
and ] am saying that these allega-
tons must be proved But If il is
proved that any class-any group
anywhere is without the suffrage of
their fellow citizens in control OF our
affairs then ] am with you to destroy
the power of that group.
we have got to be frank with our
selves. however. If we do not want
minority government in Germany we
must see to it that we do not have it
in the United States. If you do not
want little groups of selfish men to
plot the future of Europe we must
not allow little groups of selfish men
to plot the future of America. Any
man that speaks for a class must
prove that he also speaks for all his
fellow citizens and for mankind, and
hen we will listen to him.

TO SALCHA RIVER
 IS NOW ON

For the past few days a number of men have been quietly assembling small outfits and departing from town. presumably for the purpose Of taking a small prospecting trip.
 Late developments show that small stampede is on to the upper stretches of the Salcha river, the objective point being the locality where Frank Lawson and others have been doing prospect work for the past few months. What reports have been received concerning the extent of the reputed new discovery cannot be learned as all of the "wised' ones are reticent about their information It has been known for some time that strike would be likely in that vicinity but it's early development was not predicted.
 The scene of the new strike ap- parently lies at the head of Shaw creek and continues on over to the south fork of the Salcha river. A number Of other small creeks are in this neighb0rhood and it may be possible that pay will be found on all of them. The previous reports of the new district were encouraging and it is due 10 the efforts of Lawson and HersChberger that the new discovery has been made.
 Two routes of access are available to the new strike, one by the way of Shaw creek, above Richardson. This route presents the most feasible way as no high divides are to be crossed In reaching the ground. The other way is via the Salcha river. Many state that this route is impractiCablc as the river trail Is not of the best and the divides are high From Rich ardson the route would lie up Shaw creek and may be made easily by dos team.
 Nearly every means Ot conveyance, auto, dOuble-cndcrs and dog teams ale being used by the stampcdcrs III going to the scene Of the new strike, those taking autos having dccid- ed advantage as they can reach the mouth ol Shaw creek in days travel The result oG the find is arousing great interest among those who are unable to go and the lucky ones will be much envied.
 Health officer Sutherland admon, ishes those who take in the stam- pede to be prepared to spend the required ten days in quarantine on their return to Fairbanks-at their own expense. in the event that the quarantine is still Tn force al that time. The advice is given so that | there may be no hardship worked on the returning men or that they might expect their maintenance to be at government expense Fair banks Citizen
