NOME TO HAVE FOURTH OF JULY
After giving comfortable consideration to the question
of a program for the Fourth of July, the City Council finally
decided it would be the right thing to do to provide some
entertainment for the younger generation of Nome on the
Fourth of July.
This year however, no literary program will take place,
but athletic events will occupy the attention of the coming
Americans. It looked very much yesterday as if there
would be no celebration whatsoever, but today public mind
ed citizens are concerning themselves with providing en
tertainment for the children on that day.
There is one day in the United States and its possessions
which is sacred to the youth of the nation and that is the
Fourth of July. They expect it and would probably be
deeply disappointed if something were not done to give
them a chance to “let ’er rip.’”
The exercises will commence at 10 A.M. and probably
be completed by noon, so as to allow the public the after
noon as a holiday for outings and other forms of celebration.
Public offices, business concerns and other government
agencies will remain closed for the day in observance of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the
freedom of the thirteen colonies from England.

COMMENT

unconsciously humorous have a
hand in preparing copy for the big
papers as well as for the little ones.
A taqicab strike in Washington,
settled amicably, may seem a trivial
subject for widely circulated com
ment but it recalls a number of mat
ters of general interest, one of
which is that we have become taxi
conscious. A person does not have
to be very old to remember the per
iod when a ride in a hack meant a
wedding, a funeral or a sight-seeing
trip to Niagara Falls, coupled with
a wrangle over the payment due, if
that item had not been settled in
advance. In those days, cab drivers
numerically speaking, were about as
■ important as hand organ grinders,
and who ever heard of an organ
grinder’s strike. At present, the

dustrial army of respectable size.
Tts members are available for pur
poses other than mere transporta -
: tion. The sick man finds his way
f promptly to a hospital. The drunk
I is helped upstairs and to bed. There
! is quick relief for the married man
who absent mindedly starts home
after work when he should have
kept an engagement with his wife
at Eleventh and F Streets. Upon
the whole, if the taxi drivers want
the fun of a strike now and then,
who has the heart to stand in their
way.
China and Japan are reported to
be near the point of open rupture.
Notwithstanding the Japanese de
sire for expansion, and the disin
clination of the Chinese to be walk
ed upon, neither power at heart de
sires a clash at arms. In addition
to the damage which would result
I
from a two party conflict, there is
the ever present po^ibilily that So
