As returns continue to come in, the votes for the Democratic candidates in all Divisions mount higher, leaving no question at this writing to the outcome when the final vote is counted. In view of what can be safely termed a Demo- cratic landslide, it is a high compliment to two Re- publican candidates, Andrew Nerland of Fairbanks, | 'O hospital purposes in 1911 and the school was closed to gccupy the White House? and Harry Race of Ketchikan, that they are emerg- ing from the race victorious, the only Republicans in the large field of candidates to survive the avalanche of Democratic votes, Both Mr. Nerland and Mr. Race are the finest type of Alaskans. Best proof of it is the excellent political support given them by their fellow citizens. Both will do credit to the Alaska Legislature which meets in January. Both stand whole-heartedly for the Territory and its best inter- ests. ‘The Republican party can well feel proud that it has been successful in electing to office two of its highest caliber candidates. Aside from these two, it was a sweep. Delegate Anthony J. Dimond probably will come out of the campaign, when the final returns are checked, with the largest vote ever given a candidate in the Terri- tory, revealing plainly that the citizens of Alaska have absolute faith in his ability to handle their af- fairs in Washington. Territorial Auditor Frank A Boyle, Attorney General James S. Truitt and High- way Engineer William A. Hesse all have been success- ful, rolling up commanding leads over their Republi- can opponents. | Four Democratic Senators have been elected to lizht of a lantern up the steep and slippery hill. Cautioning the sisters to keep on the planks—(two laid side by side) as a false step would sink in mud—the yarty led them through brush and stumps to the Luilding on a corner of Fifth and Harris Streets which was to be Juneau’s first hospital. Without delay plans were made for the fitting cut of a five-bed ward on the lower floor of the small, cne and one-half story building, a medicine cabinet set up in the miniature parlor, a lean-to kitchen s made to serve as well for laundry and dining room. In order to hasten the work, Father Althoof and his guest, Father Heynan, worked with the car- venters and helped with the paintink. So well did cverything advance that on September 26 St. Ann's Hospital was able to take in its first patient, Mr. Daniel i'oster. The work had begun. Though the sisters numbered only three that first | vear Sister Mary Zeno, already Superfor and nurse of fhe little hospital, undertook the further duties of | tcacher and assembled the children of the village in the Church for a few hours of class instruction daily. Upon the foundations so humbly laid rests the f'fty years of development which is evidenced by the yresent hospital and parochial school. In each succeeding period of St. Ann’s Hospital j.rogress up to 1918 Sister Mary Zeno was the guiding spirit. The first building was totally inadequate even from the beginning and in the following year funds | Treadwell and the Basin to provide new accommoda- tions for the sick. This brought a second unit to completion in 1888. In under the capable hand of Sister Mary Zeno, making | it possible for the sisters to open a young ladies’ | boarding school and at the same time increase hos- pital space. This building had to be absorbed entirely | for three years. $ | In 1898 Sister Mary Zeno was transferred to St. | Mary's, Dawson, where the influx of gold seekers made the problem of hospitalization serious but Juneau i again claimed her in 1811 and in 1914 and 1916 she was instrumental in rearing the frame parts of the present | structure. This was her last work in Alaska. Though she spent her declining years in the Motherhouse of | the sisterhood at Lachine, her heart like the mariner’s compass remained ever turned towards the north,' the land that bears the impress of her life work. | Mo written eulogy of this valiant pioneer sister !can add aught to the honor given to her name in ‘memury by Juneau old-timers. During her thirty-one years in the Northland she was friend and mother to all, particularly to the poor disillusioned gold-seeker who came to her for advice or consolation or even for material help. For one she wrote letters home, for another she was banker—storing safely away his little. hoard of precious gold dust, for yet another ruined in health or broken in spirits, she begged from his more | successful companions the money to take him back to his friends. 1897 a third building rose'! It was particularly fitting that when friends | the Legislature. They are Norman R. Walker of the Uhiled to celebrate the golden anniversary of the First Division, re-elected; O. D. Cochran in the Second, [0unding of St. Ann’s Hospital they should pay special James H. Patterson in the Third and Victor C. Rivers' tribute to Sister Mary Zeno who gave herself so com- | in the Fourth, This means virtually a complete Demo- pletely to the cause of thistinn charity in our great'd cratic Senate in January. The holdovers are Henry Roden, Independent, in the First, John Devine, Demo- crat, in the Second, Maurice Brunelle, Democrat, in the Third and John Powers, Democrat, in the Fourth, nteresing to note snow on the mountains, which clerk immediately looks to see if ‘The House membership will be made up predom- inately Democratic. In ‘the First Division, Joe Green of Hyder, Democrat, has been re-elected. Serving with him will be Capt. James V. Davis and J. P, An- derson, Democrats, of Juneau, and Mr. Race, the | Northland. | | | With the political battle over, it is particularly | should drive the deer down to reasonable climbing | distance. Snow this early may forecast a lot of things, but among them is a reminder that it’s only about two Republican from Ketchikan., In the Second, Tolbert M°re Pill-paying days until Christmas. Scott, Democrat, has been re-elected and three Demo- crats elected to serve with him from that Division are W. Leanard Smith, John Litchenberg and George T. Laiblin. In the Third, H. H. McCutcheon, a Democrat, has been re-chosen by the voters of that Division to serve in the Legislature. Democrats serving with him will be Dan Kennedy, Edward D. Coffey and Nell Scott. Mr. Nerland, Republican, wins the distinction of being re-elected in the Fourth, and Democrats appar- ently victorious are Dan L. Green, Leo W. Rogge and Victor B. Ross. Thus with the two named exceptions | the House will be entirely Democratic. In casting over this picture, one thing cannot be overlooked. Four and two years ago, the voters of Alaska voted against Republican rule. The majority thought it mis-rule rather than rule. Tuesday in this Territory they voted their confidence in the Dem- ocratic administration and its policies in office. election was not an anti-sentiment. It was an over- whelming pro-sentiment. It means that many Re- publicans joined the ranks of the Democrats in en- dorsing the present administration. In face of that vote of confidence, there is no time for the Democratic party to gloat over victory. The fruits of victory are sweet, but sweeter will be! the endeavor to carry forward for Alaska and war rant that confidence reposed in the administration Ly the citizens of this Territory. Alaska voters have endorsed the Alaska program. It is up to the men in office and the party which supported them to carry that program forward. ‘We make quite a flurry over our politics in Alaska, revealing a healthy political situation. But now is an excellent time to forget the petty jealousy and political bickering which is bound to arise in every campaign, and work together for the goal that every Alaskan worthy the name desires—a better Alaska with greater opportunity for all. Let us not be Re- publicans and Democrats during the next two years, but Alaskans, working together in a common cause. ST. ANN’S GOLDEN JUBILEE On Tuesday, September 8, St. Ann’s Hospital cele- brated the 50th anniversary of its foundation. The chronicles of the institution record this historic event in detail. Some brief notes from these chronicles may 0 1 be of interest at this time to old-timers of Juneau and to the friends of the hospital. Juneau was raining at its best—or its worst—on the night of September 11, 1886 when the steamer “Ancon,” Captain Carroll in charge, docked at its Wwharf. Three sisters, who five days previous had taken passage at the sunny, flowery city of Victoria, British - Columbia, were among those who disembarked. They “were Sister Mary Zeno, Sister Mary Bonsecours and This Perhaps nothing can be quieter than a tomb, unless it happens to be a campaign headquarters the isecond day after election. i Political Warfare (Cincinnati Enquirer) | Bitter and sanguinary though it is, the Spanish civil war is developing some technics of battle that | general staffs of other countries might well study— ;and probably will not. From Barcelona, for example, | the rebel stronghold at Zaragoza. One was made up | of Socialists, one of Catalan Nationalists, and one of | anarcho-syndicalists. The soldiers, all hastily recruit- ed, are brought together in terms of their common ideas. | Although these “armies” are not well coordinated, and may even lack any regular battalion organiza-| tion at all, each column has a very carefully organized “political section.” One of the purposes of this sec- | tion is to instruct the rank and file in the column in the political objectives of the loyalist cause, namely, | a democratic revolution again Fascism. Another pur- pose is to organize the working population in all re-| gions occupied by the advancing arm. Still another is to carry on propaganda behind the enemy lines. None of these activities is wholly new in modern | varfare. But neither has any of them been developed to the point reached in the Spanish fighting, where propaganda is probably more important than bullets. [n a country where nearly half the people do not read or write, the victory is likely to go to the side which first enlists the sympathies of the great mass of Jeople.
