DUTY or The ALASKAN
CITIZENRY
f~. . ..
*" The year immediately ahead of the
people of Alaska to present with
pool jiiltles. It Will witness a greater
battle than thus'far has l>een fought In
the war for their civic rights. The
main battlefield will be in the halls of
congress during the long session which
will begin next December, but there
will be a preliminary skirmish at the
Republican primaries and convention
(or the selection of a delegation to the
national convention of that party.
While the burden of this battle in
behalf of the masses will fall heaviest
oo the shoulders of Hon. Thomas Cale, j
whom they have chosen by an over
whelming majority to command in the
fray, thereto a duty for the people to
perform which is as sacred as to their
alUtenshlp. They must place their
ihouiders to the wheel and give Mr.
Cale the support he shall require In the
unequal contes*- with the plunderbunJ
and its sycophantic minions In Alaska.
The enemy will be lined up solidly j
Among hla ranks will be the members
of the "Government Trust" with theT
ill-gotten pulls These are men with
high political and social connections,
who aie abso utely unconsciable In the
jervlce of their masters, who maintain
a prestige at Washington In Alaskar
affairs by deliberately misrepresenting
Alasaan conditions. They constitute
one of tbe moat dangerous gangs ol
political highbinders that ever was or- I
ganixed for the purpose ol robbing a i
peuble of its birthright.
Tbis ?'Government Trust" will Debt
fotlt# pnvil'ge of go-ernlng Atasna
wl'hjut the conw tit and r uardless of
ibe weliare an., d?lre of the Alaska
peon e witn al' the ablit) it posses It
will continue to n align the maas-s ol
the North, while prating of the "Best
People." "Solid Interest-," etc.. etc.
It will stoop to al! the tr ck? known to
p ofessional lobbyists in its effort to
discredit Mr. Cale, our representative.
It will pull every secret wire leading
to high places. It will cover its tracks
at every point where that is pcssible.
It will keep under the cover of dark
ness and work by indirection, using to
?he utmost the black art of deception
In the use of which Its members are
ikiilful masters.
Already this "Government Trust" ?
baa laid wires for the purpose of
capturing the Republican convention, j
It desires to bave this delegation in its
possession to use In a manner that best
auita its Tory purposes.
This recital makes the duty of
the people plain. They must take
charge of affairs then selves. Thev
must see that the Republican conven
tlro stands for jelf-government. They
must make it so plain that Mr. Cale Is
their representative and that the1
"governing trust" represents only th*>
plunderbund that those higher up will j
understand it cleat ly.
This Is an easy task for the citizens
If they will do itr-AND they mvst do
IT FOR THE PROTECTION OF THEIR I
CITIZENSHIP.
Now, gentlemen, these remarks are i
directed to you ail. It is every
MAN'S DUTT TO DO HIS PAKT. ? LET
EVERY CITIZEN OF EVERY COMMUNITY
IN ALASKA MAKE THIS MATTER HIS
PRIVATE BUSINESS. LET THE COM
M UNITIES OF VARIOUS PARTS OF
ALASKA KEEP IN TOUCH. ONE WITH
ANOTHER, AND LET EACH Or THEM
STAND BEHIND MR- CALE. AND THE
BATTLE WILL BE WON.

than Mr. Bryco in their domestic
politics. With him, however, It seems
the most natural thing in the world.
In (act, his ideas are welcomed. This
is accounted for because Mr. Bryco hae
made as olose a study of the American
nitlon as any other man living or de?d.
His admirable work on the "Amer

most of our universities, and it is re
tarded by competent authority as the
best work of 'he kind that ever was
published.
Tbe endorsement of Mr. Bryce and
Mr. Bryan will be effectively used by

the people of Oklahoma will probably
adopt it by an overwhelming majority,
in spite of the rai road opposition and
that of the distillers, brtwers and

Congressman Sulzer, of New York,
says the presidential candidates next

William J. Bryan. He ridicules tbos*

are trying to side-track Bryan.

British Columbia offiials want the
holders of claims and officials adminis

to be very careful about the assessment
worn performed. They desire that
every step be taken as required by

Assessment work be performed within

I'be situation is particularly explained
in a letter from H. Young, miniog
recorder at Atlln, to H. C. Bowman, of
this city, wbo is a commissioner to
??dmlnister oaths for British Co'uuibia.
The etter Is written from Atlin under
dite of June 10th ana is as follows:
' Aj it is quite probable you will
from tim>> to time be called upon to
receive affidavits respecting the issu
ance of rec rds for certificates of work,
1 deem this quite -in of ortune mom.nt
o.' impressing upon you .tnd all others
interested in ibe absolute necessity of
being satisfied that r e proposed wort
to be recorded has been performed
upon the respective claims within the
twelve moots from the date of record
of such claims and thus from year to
jear thereafter and more particularly
that the said application for certificate
of work reaches this office before the
expiry of the said twelve months, as
requ red by Section 24 of the "iJineral
Act' tf this is not done and the work
has been performed within the year, I
shall in future be compelled to collect
the additional fee of 310.00 or 812.50 for
recording each certificate so received.
You will therefore be good enough to
give this as much publicity as occasion
requires.

At the DllwortU-f'alrchlld wedding 1
met my oJd college churn Disbrvw. We
hadn't met since we left college, tweu
ty-flve years before, und would uot
have known each other had we not
becu Introduced. Dlsbrow was known
to uie l>y reputation, for he had become
eminent In physics, t also followed
science and have achieved some repu
tation In bacteriology. When the brldo
and groom entered the drawing room
for the ceremony. Dlsbrow and I fol
lowed.
"What a perfect picture of youthful
beautyl" I whispered to Hisbrow, re
ferring to the bride.
"IIow old would you take her to be?"
he asked.
?Twenty two or iweniy-mree.
A singular expression passed over
bis face.
?'l)n you think lier older than that?" '
"Snppo.se I should tell you she Is
over forty."
"I would doubt your sanity."
At this point the marriage service
conimeueed. and our remarks censed.
M'lien It was over and we had offered (
our congratulations. Dlsbrow ami I 1
went to the supper room to partake of .
tile delicacies displayed there. Help- .
Ins ourselves, we found n cozy corner
nnd sat itown to chat ami eat.
"Estwick." said I ilshrow to me, "I'm
going to celetirate our meeting after so
many years by lcttiii.tr jri>u iJito a se
cret. We are brother scientists; there
fore I don't consider what 1 am about
to tell you a breach of coutldence. or,
ruther, I consider the professional con
lldence superior to the individual obll
cation. T)o you understand?"
"Perfectly."
"Well, the plrl we have Just seen
married Is forty-two years old."
1 gave a gasp of astonishment.
"But I must go back to the begin I
nlng. You know when I left college
something was expected of me."
"You were considered a prodigy," I
Interrupted.
"It wasn't the prodigy; It was luck, '
Just as it was with Roeutgen, only my
luck came long liefore his. 1 made a
similar discovery years ago. I have
applied it as no one else has applied
It. Now. you know that from the uio
uient we lieglu to live we are attacked
by microbes. Cancel the mlcrolie, and
you cancel old age. From experiments
on Insects I found that by exposing thi
<ar>ae to a ray since called radium I
arrested decay. But at the same time
1 arrested growth. From Insects I ex
perlmented on frogs, kittens, dogs and
other animals. I have a pet collie 111*
t>vu years old as lively as a puppy."
"Dlsbrow, has your learning nmde
yon mndi"
"No; I ntu as sane as yon. But 1
ItUL-v. tl'.at If I offered any such ideas
to the world I'd be put In limbo, and
as 1 dread lunatic asylums and value
my freedom I have kept my mouth
shut."
"l-'or heaven's sake, go on."
"This is no place to give you any
thing more than a preface to what I
liave proposed to tell you about the
bride. I . did make my discoveries
known to one man. old Vollmnr. our
professor of chemistry at college. That
was Just as I had made up my mind t<>
try to arrest decay in humau Mugs.
Not long after that Vollmar came to
:ue and told me that two inultlmilllnn
.tires desired to join their vast for
tunes by tht- marriage of a son of the
one to a daughter of the other, but the
boy was but two years of age. while
the girl was twenty-four, if they wait
ed till the boy became of age, the
?jlrl would li< too old to produce an
heir. At least such an event won I?1
not Ijo likely. Besides, the difference of
age would be a great obstacle to their
marriage. The old man asked me If I
would make an effort to arrest decay
on the part of the girl."
"Come, come, Dlsbrow, what non
Reuse is tills V"
"Your Incredulity demonstrates the
necessity of keeping my secret. If you
tell it, sooner or later they'll have me
!>ehind closed doors. You haven t the
scientific head old Vollmnr had. He
tumbled to tlse Idea at once."
"Go on with your yarn."
"I'm not going to try amid this clat
ter of dishes and voices to tell you my
process. 1 will only say that the stum
bling block in my way was the fact that
the electrons discharged from radium
are obstructed in their passage through
air. I w-as therefore obliged to put the
subieet lu a receiver und exhaust the
air.
"Which means death."
"Ah! There's where the wonderfal
power of radium comes iu. It Is suf
ficient to keep life in the subject for
an indefinite period."
' But where did you get your appa
ratus? Sufficient radium for the pur
pose would cost a fortune."
"The girl's father opened his bank
account to me."
"Well?"
"My subject was c bit frightened
and her father? the ouly one except
herself In the secret? was beside him
self wltli fear. But the desire to pile
up gold even for posterity was too
strong for hiiu. nnd he did not Inter
fere with the experiment. Within
twenty-four hours I bad rendered his
daughter impervious to the destructive
Influence of germs, nnd she has re
mained youug from that day to (his.
My subject was the bride we have Just
jeeti married."
Our conversation was Interrupted by
the announcement that the bride and
groom were about to leave, and, enter
ing the marble vestibule, Dlsbrow nnd
I weut up with the rest to bid them
adieu. When the bride took leave of
Dlsbrow, she gave him a look Indicat
ing the possession of a common secret
