One of the campaign promises
is a federal law against lynrhing.
In describing what goes on in the
jury room during a murder trial,
a humorist said that one of the
first questions that had to be set.
tied was: Does the prisoner look
as though he deserves to be hang
ed? Lvnchings have not been
based on causes so thin as that,
but the records show that men
have been put out of the way
summarily for stealing turpen
tine and bootlegging. About 5000
persons have been lynched in the
United States in the last 54 years.
The year 1892 was the peak per.
iod, with a score of 231. The
general trend is downward, 20
lynchings in a twelve-month j
being a rough average at present,
even that number is too large.
Though vote.getting may have a
little to do wuth the campaign
promise^ the ultimate result like
ly to be accomplished is sound
and wholesome.
The wooden leg dealers, in con
vention assembled, inform the
world that losing a leg is not
much worse than losing one’s

somewhat extravagant on its face

hind it. President Roosevelt, for
example, is known to have a ser
ious disability of the lower limbs,
but nobody marks that fact up
against him as a disqualification
for office. In the times when a
man had to carry a pack or make
a quick sprint to get away from
the Indians, a peg leg was a mis.
fortune. Street cars, busses and
cheaply operated taxis have shift

cannot deliver food to his stom

What did the Alaskan old timer j

Nome, Nov. 20, 1936.
The Student Body plans a Skat
ing Party for next Wednesday
evening to celebrate the beginn.
ing of the Thanksgiving vaca
tion. Harold Berg and Lee Reat
have been appointed to decide
where the ice is best. Ben Mann,
Lincoln Ost and Bud Cunning,
ham will see to getting wood and
have the bon fire all ready to
light when the party arrives. Re
freshments will be planned by
Geraldine Rude, Harry Lewis and
Virginia Calkins. Fred Waid,
Charles Lewis and Audrey Dun.
ham will attend to providing
transportation for the crowd. If
the present cold clear weather
holds, the skating should be ex-.
cellent, and a delightful time is'
anticipated.
The Constitution of the Stud,
ent Body was amended to provide
for a Student Council to serve as
the executive body of the organi
zation. This council is to consist
of a representative from each ’
class, the president of the Stud. ;
ent Body, and the principal. The '
secretary of the student body will
sit with the group, but only to
fulfill her secretarial duties, hav
ing no vote. The members of the
Council are Mr. Pool Tom Mar
> 1
tin, president; Mary Hood Chap
man, junior; Martin Willoya, so.
phomore: and Bud Cunningham,
freshman. The senior represen
tative has not yet been elected.
The intricate pattern of red and
black lines and cross lines, angles
and circles which now decorates
the gymnasium floor would seem
to the uninitiated like a huge
Chinese puzzle, but to those “in
the know” the complicated fig_
ures resolve themselves into the
markings for a baseball diamond
and basketball court. City Engi
neer Bob Lyle laid out the lines
last Saturday and they were
painted this week by Ernest
Buckmasfter. The baseball dia_
mond seems very small but it is
the regulation size for indoor
baseball. The basketball court
for girls is the regulation three
court size. The baseball back,
stop screen is being erected and
will be completed this week. It
was expected that practices for
the various baseball teams would
begin this week, but the floor was
not completed.
The Junior Class has announced
that its dance was a financial as
well as a social success, and that
a goodly amount of money was
cleared.
The Sophomore Class attended
Friday night’s show, "Treasure
Island, in a group and had reserv
ed seat. They also reserved the
dinette at the Pioneer Fountain
Lunch and after the show, ate,
drank and were merry. Thisi
was strictly a class party, the1
first to be held this year.
