DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite
♦» -
No matter in what part of the city you live, you are
benefited by public improvements.
It is a well known fact that for every dollar spent
in public improvements, two dollars are spent in new
businesses and homes
Public improvements enhance the value of all real
estate.
Every citizen should put his shoulder to the wheel
and do his share when plans for public improvements
are launched.
Every citizen helps himself when he helps the home
city.
The same holds true when the city’s streets are kept!
in good condition, whether it be winter or summer,;
poor roads mean fewer pedestrans going about town
stores and when automobiles are tied up that means!
tying up thousands of dollars worth of equipment and
no sale for gas or oil. consequently there is little work
for garages and their workers to do—besides it keeps
people home instead of making it easy for them to get
to the stores and shops to buy goods. Moral, let us
have our streets graded in winter as well as summer,
it is really more necessary in winter than ahy other
time of the year, if business is to be good.
When all citizens get behind a project for the city’s
betterment, it is usually a good one.
MAYOR DORE ON CAREERS
(Los Angeles Times)
Mayor Dore’s speech to University of Washington
students, in which he urged them to seek careers as
union-labor leaders and in the same breath commend
ed the defunct I. W. W., leaves no doubt in the public
mind of the radicaltrend of present Seattle political
bosses. Dore and the man from whom he takes orders,
Dave Beck, are at least frank about their intentions and
make no bones of their methods.
Labor dictatorship, rather than labor leadership, is
in fact what Dore urges. Labor organizations, he said,
are too democratic, and give too much say to the man
who works on the job. This will be news to most un
ion members who “work on the job” to find themselves
outvoted and out-talked at union meetings by men who
never have a job and don’t want one, except on a union
payroll with acces to the union funds.
The career which Dore offered to the college men,
is, in fact, a career as racketeer, especially since he em
phasized the prosperity of labor leaders as an attractive
feature. That labor leaders become prosperous at the
expense of the rank and file of union members is ob
vious, either they fatten on the union treasury or they
blackmail employers with threats of calling a strike.
From whichever source their income in the first instan
ce, in the long run it comes out of the money available
for wages, and thus out of the workers’ pockets.

Baseball Season
Nome Commence
Tomorrow Nite
(Continued From Page One)
Last minute practices Monday
night by the four teams disclosed
that all of them are settled down
to hard, fast baseball and indi
cate that the games Wednesday
night will be even more exciting
and thrilling than the games
played December 16th, for the
benefit of the Xmas Community
Fund.
By the pubiiic interest in that
game, Nomeites have certainly
not lost their taste for this kind
of indoor sports, and a capacity
house is anticipated. Interest has
been high for the past two weeks,
waiting the opening of the sea
son. The teams, meanwhile have
been getting in some intensive
practice and are in the pink of
condition for tomorrow' night’s
games.
The same suggestion goes, that
if you want a good seat tomorrow
j night you will have to go early.
Managers of the various teams
i
!
are Sam Mogg for the Alaskans;
O. S. Weaver for the Commer
cials; Lyle Nevins for the Ham
mon; and Calvin Poo'.' for the
Huskies. Cliff Allyn is coach for
the Huskies and the managers
are the various coaches for the
other teams.
It has been two years since
Nomeites have had the opportun
ity to attend athletic contests in
a large gymnasium, and from the
talk of the town, they expect to
take advantage of this winter &
watch some fine indoor baseball.
In connection with the regular
men’s baseball league, it is high
time to mention that the married
and single women of Nome have
been organizing and are prepar
ing for some exhibition games a
little later in the season.' In the
past these games have been pos
