FAIRBANKS LET'S KEEP J& 'fill AT H0ME THE OLD FLAG S ABROAD RESPECTED ON THE SEA POINTERS Is your gate on straight? Four more days until victory perches on the Republican banner. Remember the Mt. Vernon Singing Party at the high school, November 16th. Buffalo Bill is out for Wilson. He isn't the only gentleman who has been "buffaloed." The author of "Pigs is Pigs" has declared for Wilson. Queer how the pork idea refuses to down. Boost for the Community Club idea. Talk it up with your neighbor. Be ready to lend your help when needed. The people of Vera Cruz have erected a monument monu-ment for the soldiers who were killed in action with this country, the time that Mr. Wilson "kept us out of war." I am for labor. I am against labor. I believe in labor organizations. I denounce labor organizations. organiza-tions. Labor organizations are a menace. Labor organizations are a blessing. Who said it? n AND AGAIN, BURNS FOR LEGISLATURE If Mr. Burns is not elected to the legislature by a big majority, Milford and surrounding territory aye Beaver county at large, will have missed a golden opportunity of rewarding enterprise, loyal- ' " ty, good citizenship and ability. Mr. Burns will be elected if this section of the county, especially, does its full duty at the polls. o WATCH FIDO Report comes from Reed of depredations of supposedly mad coyotes. While there is no cause for panic, yet it is the part of prudence for dog owners to carefully watch their pets and to keep them at home as much as possible. A little prevention is worth more than several pounds of cure and muzzle muz-zle your dog at once. o THE COMMUNITY CLUB By all means, let us take up with the community club proposition. Not only socially but from a cold, unemotional business point of view, the community club will pay big dividends After fifteen years experience along civic improvement and commercial organization lines, the writer knows wThereof he speaks. ' A trial will convince the most skeptical as to the desft-ability of such a move, and "once used," as the advertisements say, "always wanted." When approached on the subject, give a boost and not a knock. n IS THIS DISCRIMINATION? According to figures which the News has every reason to believe are taken directly from the county assessment rolls, it would appear on the face of things, that Milford. under a Democratic assessor-ship, assessor-ship, has been woefully discriminated against in the way of valuations. Elsewhere in this issue appears a statement showing the increased valuations for 1916 over 1915, on two mercantile and two dwelling properties, one each in Beaver and Milford. These properties were selected only because they more closely coincided with one another in point of actual worth. Comparing Com-paring the typical Beaver commercial business with the Milford firm of equal size, we find that in the former case the rate of increase for 1916 over 1915 was 53.7 per cent, while in the case of the Milford firm it was 23b'.li per cent increase. In the comparison compari-son of typical dwellings, Dr. Shepard's residence was compared against that of R. H. Pitchforth of Milford. Mil-ford. In the case of the Beaver man, the increase :!?.C cvc-i 19lo was 77.7 per cent. In the case of ule iiuiLUlll man, Ule iiieieabe was 239. G pei cellC. N These examples are not sorted out for effect, but simply because they furnish examples best fitted for comparison. What's the answer? BOOST OUR MINING INDUSTRY The people of Beaver county do not, apparently, realize the real and valuable asset the county has in its mining industry. When the News uses the expression, ex-pression, "Beaver county is to be one of the talked- of mining counties of the state," the assertion is not visionary it is prophetic, and mining developments of the past few months, even, have gone far to confirm con-firm this claim. Through an intimate knowledge of mining conditions, gained by careful and unbiased investigation, the News fully realizes what the pioneers of the mining game in this county have done and are doing for the commercial growth and good of the county. They have come here, invested good money, worked hard and patiently and have developed properties that are excelled, in point of area and richness, by few in the country. These men have been the means of bringing into circulation in Beaver county, large sums of money which, otherwise, other-wise, we would not have handled. They deserve credit and they deserve all the "boosting" we can give them, not only for their pioneer work along this line but for the faith and courage and perseverance which have given Beaver county an enviable place among the mining counties of the state. And remember, re-member, when we boost for our mines, we boost for Beaver county. The mineral wealth is here; there is no "wild-catting" or "prospecting" about it. Visual Vis-ual testimony is the best, and it is here in abundance. Let's exploit our mining industry truthfully and conservatively, but constantly. j THE FINAL WORD Next Tuesday the voters of the country will be called upon' to declare, between two fundamental policies. We vote for men only as they embody or represent policies. Let us not forget that we are not voting for the personality of Mr. Wilson or of Mr. Hughes, but for the principles for which they stand. The Republican party has ever been the party of progress. It has blazed the trail other parties have followed, or attempted to do so. It has been the party of patriotism and adherence adher-ence to the traditions of national honor that have come down to us from the past. It has not been a party of overbearing aggressiveness toward other nations, but it has been a party that has protected and upheld national honor and national interests and the lives and property of Americans, at all times. It has been and is a party of decision, not of weak vacillation. It has been and is a party of firmness and consistency con-sistency in its policies, not a party of unconsidered precipitateness. It is the safest party for patriotic, loyal, full-statured full-statured Americans. What has been the history of the Democratic administration for the past four years? Read it in the daily papers wherein is described the murder and outrage and pillage of American subjects and their property; the sinking of neutral vessels bearing bear-ing American citizens, the ridicule and contempt of foreign powers for everything American the utter failure to safeguard the country or its people. And yet, "Wilson has kept us out of war." Yes, he has, but at the expense of national honor, at the expense of hundreds of good American lives needlessly sacrificed, sacri-ficed, at the expense of our own self-respect. Firmness Firm-ness and decision and dignity will prevent war often-er often-er than "pussyfooting" will.' A course such as has been followed by the United States the past three or four years, simply invites war. That Mexican "peace" along the border, which Mr. Wilson has maintained, has cost the lives of more Americans than were sacrificed in the Spanish Span-ish war, outside of Santiago itself. A few" years more of such costly "peace" and this country would begin to thank the Almighty that Wilson "kept us out of peace." Several hours spent by the voter, in carefully and impartially studying the history of our relations with Mexico, the past three years, a study not biased by partisanship, but in the light of truth and clarity, clar-ity, could not help but be profitable to him. It would convince him, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that what the Administration has been pleased to call a "Mexican policy," was not, in fact, a policy at all, but simply a series of ill-considered, impulsive acts, followed for a time with a show of firmness, then abandoned, only to break out in another series of weak and wobbly and contradictory acts which have disgusted the country and made us a laughing stock abroad. Which will you have, Mr. Voter, Mrs. Voter, Miss Voter? The choice is before you. I I THE NEW ATKIN HOTEL i !
