The fact that some men dont get
wrecked by the booze-joint is no
more reason for its existence than
would the statement that some
people have traversed it in safety
be an argument in favor of holes
and pitfalls in a highway. Smooths
out the road and make it easy for
all.
The great number of people who
drink more or less, feel that it
does them no good and is a waste of
money, but find it hard to avoid it,
know that the whole problem would
be quickly and profitably solved by
the simple means of doing away
with the saloon.
Both male and female citizens of
the United States, over the age of
twenty-one years, and residing for
the past year in Alaska, and for
the past 30 days in the precinct, are
qualified to vote at the election on
November 7, on all propositions, in
cluding the wet and dry question.
VOTE FOR ALASKA DRY.
WET
X
I
DRY
An “X” opposite Dry, as above,
is a vote for a clean, wholesome,
prosperous Alaska. It will be a
prosperity built upon the solid re
sources of Alaska, and not upon
wrecked lives and dead men’s bones.
GLADSTONE AGAINST SCHOOLS
AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
“Intoxicating drinks have produced
evils more deadly, because more con
tinuous, than all those caused to
mankind by the- great historic scour
ges of war, famine and pestilence
combined.—\Ym. E. Gladstone.
wow:
This touches somewhat on the in
dividual liberty of one man to put
another on the bum:
“The claim of the saloon-keepers
to freedom in their traffic is the
claim to the right to spread disease,
sin and pauperism,—Archbishoj
John Ireland.
And the poor little Duluthians are
going to grow up in ignorance, too
but if that ignorance is just inclu
sive enough and takes in ignorance
of the saloon and its twin sister
business that people don’t say much
about, it will have its compensations
"Duluth, third city in Minnesota
with a population of 90.000 voted
out the saloons on June 19. Res
ponsibility for this defeat of John
Barleycorn is attributed to the union
labor vote.
Union men in Duluth organized
the Trade Union Dry League, which
proved to be the most potent and
aggressive factor in the campaign”.

All night last night teams were
busy hauling perishable freight
from the dock just as soon as it
was landed from the scows and
placing it in warm storage. In con
sequence the grocery men were the
busiest people in Nome, busier than
the politicians and that is saying a
whole lot. Fortunately wind and
tide conditions were perfect for the
work of discharging cargo.
Patronize the Nome Tailoring Co.
Why? Because they do the best

Albert Braten and William Hug I
arrived up on the launch Beach
comber yesterday having been de
layed en route from St. Michaels by
unfavorable winds and ugly seas. A1
says that he was delayed several
days at Solomon by being land
locked within Bonanza and had to
wait higher water. Of Marshal he
is speaking in a very conservative
way. He says that latest arrivals
from there state that about five
hundred will winter there, most ot
them prospecting. Joe Crabtree has ■
a little pay on Waskey’s ground ;
which will he taken out this winter
as the ground is rather deep for ,
sluicing and is frozen. Most of the I
rest of the camp is thawed ground
with lots of water on the bed rock
and the indications are not good for
much winter mining. The main
crowd has been contributed by Ruby
and other interior camps to whom
the five dollars and eight hours re
ports looked exceedingly good.
If yon have the interest of your
territory at heart you cannot afford
to even think of changing your
representative when in three days
after the election he will have to
defend you in the most important

Commission at Cordova. —Adv.

On Saturday afternoon, just when
the races were bringing a big sized
crowd as near as possible to soma oi
the saloons without actually shov
ing them inside, many school child
ren with sashes representing the
nineteen dry states paraded the
town with dry war cries in the
water wage: of W. R. Buckmaster.
A boy clad in white symbolized Al

At the Civ Forum at the Feder

was crowded to the doors. It was
essentially <. dry meeting, with
speeches delivered by Rev. Bald
win on the evils of drink and the
saloon, Mrs Oestrich spoke cf the
W. C. T. 1'. and its work. Rev. Dr.
Parsons discussed the evil effects of
intoxicating liquor on the human
system, Judge Moran, candidate for
senator, endorsed the prohibition
movement and made a plea for it.
The concluding address was a short
talk by the Rev. Dr. Parsons. A

Come to hear Grigsby at the De
mocratic Rally, Eagle Hall Montlaj
night at 8:30.
Yesterday morning at eight thirty,
the magir syren of the steamer
Victoria announced that the Alaska
Steamship Co‘s liner had won the
race from Unimak Pass to Nome.
The Umatilla arrived about an hour
or a little less, later in the morning
and the passengers were whisked off
to shore in no time. There was no
time lost either getting the freight
ashore and the mail to the Post
office. The very extensive mail
will naturally take some time to dis
tribute but the staff got busy at
once and yesterday all the day,
were engaged in sorting what is the
biggest mail since navigation
brought in the first batch. The
both steamers had a very gruelling
experience and both were battered
some from th& violence, the lights
on one side of the upper deck state
rooms being stoved in by the heavy
seas. About two days after starting
they ran into the nasty weather
which just outdid itself trying to
show how ugly it could be.
