GEO. D. SCHOFIELD, SEATTLEITE.
George D. Schofield, the Seattle attorney who is seeking
election to the responsible position of attorney-general of
Alaska, will have much difficulty in explaining to the electors
of the territory as to the reason why Alaskans should support
his candidacy. So far as The Times is concerned, it can see no
reason at all why Alaskans should support him. That he is a
bona fide resident of Seattle has been conclusively shown by
the publication, in these columns, of a portion of a Seattle
telephone directory, in which the professional and residence
number of the gentleman appears. As a matter of fact, the
gentleman exhibits considerable nerve in seeking this high of
fice in this territory. If he must have an official position, let
him seek it in the community in which he has elected to select
as his home. Alaskans, we take it, do not propose to elect a
man to a big-salaried position, just to get him to move to Alas
ka. All of the political parties, in their platforms, are protest
ing against the appointment of carpet-baggers to federal posi
tions, and we surely do not propose, after making such unqual
ified protests, to eiect a carpet-bagger to one of our most im
portant offices. The idea is repulsive and not in harmony with
the people’s attitude in this respect.
While non-residence is a most important reason why Mr.
Schofield’s candidacy merits no consideration whatever at the
hands of the qualified electors of Alaska, there is another ade
quate reason why his candidacy should he distasteful to Alas
kans generally. Mr. Schofield gained his nomination at the
hands of the Seward convention, which was dominated by
“Boss” ShacklefopdJ Jit is his hope—vain though it be—that
“Boss” Shackleford shall have the distribution of the federal
plums in Alaska, in the event of the election of the republican
national ticket. While firmly believing and hoping for the
election of Mr. Hughes as president, we cannot believe for one
moment that “Boss” Shackleford and his henchmen—chief
among whom may be mentioned Murane, Gilmore, and Scho
field—will be recognized by the powers that be. Such a protest
from Alaskans generally .would be made that this nicely-plan
ned political scheme would be sidetracked—as it ought to be.
Delegate Wickersham, as the accredited representative of the
people of Alaska, should be consulted with respect to Alaskan
appointments. That he will be, in the event of a republican
national victory, we have no doubt whatever.
THE WINTER SEASON.
Indications point to the fact that Anchorage-will he ac
corded a very satisfactory mail service throughout the ap
proaching winter season. The winter service calls for two in
coming and two outgoing mails each week. Colonel Revell, the
mail contractor, is an experienced man in this line and has the
equipment to render the service required under the terms of
the contract.
To the new-comers especially the winter season is looked
forward to with considerable apprehension. They have been
told of our “shut-in” condition and are almost prepared to be
lieve that we shall receive hardly any mail matter at all dur
ing the winter season; that with the approach of winter we
crawl into our homes and hibernate like the bear. They will
iind, however, that the winter period in the Cook inlet country
is not severe. One suffers more from the cold in the Mojave
desert in southern California than in Alaska. Anyone who has
lived in both places will confirm this statement, absurd as it
may appear to those who have believed that this desert is
about the hottest place on earth. It is hot in the summer pe
riod and one’s blood becames thin; then the winter period, with
its cold winds, comes, and then is the time that the suffering
follows.
All parts of the earth have their distinct advantages and
their distinct handicaps. Climatically speaking, Alaska meas
ures up to the remainder of the globe.
And the newcomers will find, during the coming winter,
that their mail matter will come through with about the same
regularity that it does in the open season. A day or two’s
difference, perhaps, but that is all.
There is nothing in Alaska winters to fill anyone with ap
prehension. Newcomei’s will find; that most of their anxieties
and fears are founded on a misconception—a mere figment ol
the imagination.
ELECTION RETURNS.
Us ,
; f ■
The Times has perfected arrangements whereby this com
rnunity will be given a complete bulletin service of the electioi
returns. These returns will include the presidential electioi
results in the respective states of the union, and will like wist
cover as many congressional and gubernatorial elections results
as may be available. So much for the outside election returns
which our patrons may absolutely rely on, unless the telephone
service is out of commission. Should such an unfortunate
event occur on election day—November 7—a matter entirely
beyond our control—then of course the election news will be
delayed.
The Times has also made arrangements to get a very com
plete report on the delegate and the attorney-generalship elec
lion. Also, the election results in the four divisions of Alasla
for members of the Alaska legislative assembly.

Thoughts on Business, copied from “ World’s Work ” for October. The
Federal Trade Commission has lately published two pamphlets that have first
importance for American Business Men. They are entitled “ Fundamentals
of a Cost System and “ A System of Accounts for Retail Merchants,” and
they are based upon the practice of hundreds of successful manufacturers and
merchants of the country.
A Business Man’s Accounts are the heart of his work; if they are inac
curate he is almost sure to be misled. A set of books properly and correctly
kept with the exact knowledge of overhead expense is the business man’s
guide to his business. It may mean a small expense, but what of it ? Thou
sands of small retail merchants go bankrupt every year because they conduct
their business not on the principle of exact knowledge, but on mere guesswork.
The books published by the Federal Trade Commission are simple and prac
tical; they are free for the asking on application to the commission.
We can supply you with any books and office needs. DO IT NOW.
