A FEW TIMELY POINTERS ARE GIVEN
PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
EDITOR WHITE- in the “The Stroller” column of the
Whitehorse Star, says that the election is drawing near,
and deems the occasion titiing for offering a few point
ers to those who may later be nominated as candidates, to whom
the following suggestions are made in a spirit of kindness
and brotherly love:
Do not pretend that the nomination was thrust upon*you.
Just speak out say you sought it on account of your unquench
able love for the people whose condition you intended, if elect
ed, to ameliorate. (See Webster.)
Attend church regularly until aft<*r election, always having
an unfolded hill for the collection plate. Be careful to deposit
it firmly but gently in the plate with figures up.
In delivering an add'res to the electors do not confuse tin
words “Anarchy” ami “Arnica.” It would not be recherche
to say “The country is bordering on a state of arnica.”
Never hesitate to denounce plutocracy: While many may
not know whether pluocracy is a disease or a toothwash, they
will think more of you for being opposed to it.
To refrain from kissing a baby which may even show in
dications of foot and mouth disease will be fatal to your aspira
tions. Refer to its lovely complexion and say something about
it taking after its ma in that respect. Women, although not al
lowed to vote in Yukon, see to it that their husbands never vote
against the man who admires their complexions—or says he
does.
Exercise discreation as to when t oeat pie with a knife and
pour coffee in the saucer to blow it before drinking. While
such actions will endear you in some instances, they will queer
you in others.
Make your invitations to “have something” general. It is
not diplomatic to only invite voters.
Don’t leave deposits at bars for treating “ the boys” later.
In such events the barkeep usually pockets the deposit and your
weel-meant generosity is unhonored and unsung.
In the matter of public patronage, promise all of it to the
horny-handed prospector who will invest his earnings in an out
fit and hike into the hills. (Note the word “promise.”)
In making a house-to-house canvass for votes and where
the woman of the house makes a specialty of opposing the de
mon rum, give “hubby” the high sign and he will be sufficiently
resourceful to invite you outside to see something. A man with
a wife of that kind is always resourceful. He makes it a study.
Do not make any charges against the opposing candidate
but admit that he is a man of many good points, but—(Follow
the last word with an omnious shake of the head.)
A quietly conducted canvass is usually more effective than
platform speech making. At the latter there is usually some
Rube who persists in asking embarrasing questions about your
attitude on the labor situation
It is always safe to say you are in favor of ami in smpthy
with labor unions when they are properly conducted. But
never make the mistake of venturing an opinion as to how they
should be conducted.
Favor the lavish expenditure of public money and a general
reduction of licenses and taxes. While the two measures are
not tenable, few will notice it. They will think you are a states
man.
Denounce militarism in thunderous tones but admit that,
as man and man, you have no quarrel with Germans. The least
you can say is that they make excellent kraut.
Favor wholesale road construction, the reduction of trans
portation charges and more favorable legislation to the pros
pector. The latter has been the goat for a long time but he is
good for a few more laps.
These are just a few suggestions which the Stroller offers
in a general way to those who are now “in the hands of their
friends.” Later on and after the candidates are selected' In
can, on application and when properly “approached,” supply
more specific instruction about knocking persimmons.

WHEN ENGLAND WAS INVADED
AND FEAR OF ANOTHER ATTACK
.
NEVER since 1798 has the British government paid so great
attention to the possibility of invasion. Although de
tails are closely guarded, emergency measures are
known to exist for the protection of all strategic coast lines.
Discussion of the possibility of invasion is bringing out a
good deal of history that is irrelevant to present conditions and
some history that is not historical. When an English writer of
some standing declares that there has been no foreign invasion
of England since the so-called “Fishguard Invasion-” 1797, In
is wrong. The next year Gen. Humbert landed in Ireland with
1,200 French veterans, and small as was his force, lie defeated
a much larger army of loyalists. Though ultimately forced to
surrender, Humbert’s invasion gave British public confidence
a severe shock. His exploit created a scare far more alarming
than that of the Zeppelin and Hying naval maneuvers of tin1
Germans in the present war.
The ordinary Englishman thinks of but two possible
methods of invading his country, Zeppelin raids not being rank
ed as invasion- One is the seizure of one or more British ports
by a massed German fleet, and the other is the landing of troops
from transports by means of small boats on some unprotected
part of the coast. They have* been assured, however, that
neither method could succeed- The first, because the attack on
a British port would give plenty of time to concentrate troops
in that direction, and the second because the small bodies of
troops that could be landed from a transport would expose
them to destruction by comparatively smaller land forces. A
more plausible method of invasion would be the landing of
troops from lighters carrying from 500 to 1,000 men each, which
could be towed to the English coast while the German and
British fleets were engaged in the North Sea.
The general opinion is that the English authorities believe
the Germans have made a comprenhensive plan for invading
England, and they, the English- are making their arrangements
to meet any possible emergency.
-:o:
Co-operation is not a figure of speech. It stands for mon
rapid' realization of hope for results and is, indeed, a clearing
house for the knowledge and experience of all the individual
factors associating Plans for operations can be more
thoroughly consummated and carried into effect by the several
local orgaization under co-operative associations, which while
not destroying individuality, promote more effective effort.
