WHERE WAS “FIGHTING" BOB
While our boys were fighting in the
trenches of France in 1917, going over
the top in the face of an enemy,—
.h rough barbed-wire entanglements,
nud and slime, defying death for a
national cause, and while millions of
patriots at home were spending their
money to give them help and encour
igement, where was the man now call
'd “Fighting Bob"?
He was at home in the halls of con
gress, doing his best to embarrass his
•ountry and place the boys in greater
langer of death. He is the man whose
•var record was so unsavory that he
vas haled before the United States
senate for having given utterances
vhich according to his prosecutors
‘have already served to create treas
>nable sentiment in the state of Min
nesota, and being spread through the
mblic press can have no other effect
ban to weaken the support of the
rovemment in the conduct of the
var."
The Minnesota commission of pub
ic safety petitioned the Senate to in-!
-titute proceedings looking to the ex
oulsion of the said Robert M. LaFol
ette from the Senate, as a teacher of
lisloyalty and sedition, giving aid and
omfort to the enemy and hindering
he government in the conduct of the
var. It was about a year and a half
ifter the war was over that the re
port of the committee on privileges
ind elections made a report, stating
hat it regretted that the Senator's
ictions did not justify action by Con
gress, although a number of Senators
jitterly denounced La Follette’s acts
is treasonable in the extreme.
At this time LaFollette did not ap
pear on the floor of the Senate for
wer three months, and was treated
vith contempt by his confreres when

PROGRESSIVES CONFER
Gilbert Roe, in charge of the Eastern Headquarters of the La Fol
! lette-Wheeler campaign and Robt. M. Lafollette, Jr., son of “Fighting
Bob,” and Vice-Chairman of the campaign, who are now starting their
j offensive in the East to line up votes for the Progressive Ticket.
!
j he did appear.
How can any citizen, reflecting on
| LaFollette’s record and then on the
hell through which the American boys
fought their way for nineteen months,
ever give him a thought for the high
est honors a country he betrayed has
to give.
In case oil is struck in any quantity
at Kanatak, Seward, Anchorage and
neighboring towns would lose half
their population over night. To think
thar, we would not lose population
would be to deceive ourselves, as oil
stampedes in the states have shown
an influx of persons looking for easy
money, in every camp where the flow
ing gold has come in. The question
confronting us today is how to com
bat this hegira of desirable citizens.
It is natural for hope to spring eter
nal in the human breast, and those of
us who have lost hope are still full
of human cussedness and crave the ex
citement of a stampede. It is true
the backwash would again fill the
towns in proximity to the oil fields,
but in the meantime what will we do.
The prudent mariner keeps his vessel
under control, and the ship of state
must also have a firm hand at the til
ler. In case oil is struck have we
anything to offer the man with, the
itching foot to induce him to remain
with us ?

Seward is now standing with reluct
ant feet where the small town and
ar.d city meet. Her stores and her
streets are comparable with those of
any city Outside with ten times the
population, but we find it hard to get
away from the small town stuff. We
have a site for a population of ten
thousand, but no place to houoe them
if they came. Times are good and
carpenters many, but getting a car
penter at the right end of a sill for
a dwelling is the problem. After put
ting in a week trying to get a house
for an employe recently airived, we
are here to state that if triplets ever
come to any Seward family they will
have to be housed in the dog kennel.

TENDERFOOT CREEK
BEING PROSPECTED
That mining in the Tenderfoot dis
tdc‘ may soon receive an impetus is
i^di'oted by the fact, says the Fair
bank,-. News Miner, that extensive
prospecting work is being done in that
region at the present time. Tender
foot is just beyond Richardson, on the
Richardson highway, and supplies are
easily transported into the district.
Mr. Richard Thomson, who has
been mining on Ester during the sum
mer, returned from the Tenderfoot
district Tuesday last. . Mr. Thomson
intended to remain longer, but was
obliged to return to Ester because of
very important business. His partner
Albert Bernard and Fred Jurgessen,
will continue the prospecting work.
Two holes have been sunk already and
it is said that the showing is good.
