ROOM FOR OPTIMISTS
NOT PESSIMISTS
It is true that the days will
soon be growing short and wt
shall have two winters and
summer ahead of us.
It is true, too, that our young'
men are leaving in great num-j
bers.
That the construction camp on j
theNizina River is disbanded, &
the Lower Camp at the Mother
Lode is discontinued on the
ground of unnecessary expense '
Because of these things, some
people are dejected and down
. m
cast.
But they forget that the pay
rolls at the mines are bigger
than ever, that improvements
are still going on
Contracts have been let for
building the shelter cabins on
the.b’liusiianna trail, and so al
together, there is just as much
here as ever.
Even if our young men have
left, they have gone for our sake,
and there is lots of life in the
older ones who are still here.
There are aN) plenty of pat
riotic and ambitious women
who will replace abr I edit c
men if need be.

FOR THE BETTERMEN T
I)( s >ite tho presence ol
James Wiekersham in Washing
ton the past session ofcongiess
and his unceasing1 attempts to
nullity the work of Charles A
Sulzer, we believe that every A
iaskun, regardless of party all'll
iation, who has kept abreast of
the work done by Mr Sulzer
acknowledge that his (ilcits
have been for the betterment of
the Territory.
We believe that the most ard
ent supporter of Mr Wickers ham
will acknowledge that Mr Sulzer*
has been the best delegate Alas
ka has had for a decade or more
While the vote ef the Committ
e on Elections was based ii] on a
trivial technicality, and one that
xould require legal acuncn to
differentiate from the Rets of
the case it is unleniable that a
white soldier should liave more
right to have his vote counted
than an Aient who lias not sev
ered his trib/1 relations.
Trickery and deceit may pre
! vail for a few months but the
tremendous majority piled up
by Mr Sulzer in the recent pri
mary shows that his true worth
is realized by his constituents.
