THE GREAT DESTROYER.
The Chicago Herald qpotes Wil
liam M. Gemmill, judge of the Mu
nicipal Court of Chicago, as mak
ing this sweeping indictment against
intoxicating drinks:
"Booze is the mother of crime.
It gives life and sustenance to
slums. dives, brothels, gambling
dens and ‘pay-off joints.’ It nerves
to his deed the homicide, the stick
up man, the burglar, the thief and
the thug. It fires the brain of the
prostitute and the panderer. It
feeds and inflames the passions of
the weak-minded and the degene
rate.
"I have tried an army of 50,000
human derelicts, most of whom
were booze-soaked. With faces red
and bloated, with eyes dull and
languid, with bodies weak and wast
ed, with clothing foul and ragged,
this vast army is forever marching
with unsteady step to the graves of
the drunkard and the pauper or to
the prison and workhouse.
“I have looked into the tear
•.-.tctinofl I’ococ rtf o at ill laraur ormv
• •icijuitru. lairs ui cl ami m my
of fathers and mothers, brothers
and sisters, wives and husbands, as
they have pleaded for the miserable
wrecks that booze has made. I have
seen with this army ten thousand
palefaced, hollow-checked, ragged,
j hungry and starving children, cur
sed by booze.
“I have observed that every ban
! dit crew that goes forth to murder
starts from a saloon: that every
panderer has his rendezvous in a
grogshop; that every den of thieves
makes its victims drunk before it
robs them: that every house of pro
stitution has its bar or is in partner
ship with booze; that every gamb
ling den is either in a saloon or sus
tains a close relationship with one;
that the pickpocket the ‘pay-off
joint’ for the crook and the crooked
policeman is in a saloon; that the
professional bandsmen and charac
ter witnesses for thieves and holdup
men are saloon-keepers or bar
tenders.
‘‘Booze has caused 200,000 divor
ces in the United States in the last
20 years and adds 25,000 more to this
number every year. It divides
more homes, fills more jails and
empties more churches than all
other influence combined.
‘‘Judges, legislators, mayors, gov
ernors and even presidents, sit
dumb or quail in the presence of
this monster, which enters millions
of homes and leaves them desolate.
“I have witnessed daily its rav
ages after it had spent its wild fury
upon the helpless bodies of women
and children, or after it had reaped
for a night, in the public dance, its
harvest of virtue, now dead forever.
I have observed that the last man
to be employed and the first to be
discharged is a victim of booze.
“Boose never built a park, a
playground, a school or a church,
but is the enemy of them all.
“War may be hell, but where it
slays its thousands, booze destroys
its tens'of thousands.”—Adv.

The bad storm yesterday again
interrupted the work of unloading
the Juneau and that boat steamed
away into the offiing when the blow
began. The wind veered round from
the northeast to due south, when
the activity of the surf and the

some anxiety upon the part of the
householders along the beacliside of
Front St.

Cap Bailey, one of Nome’s vete
ran mariners, and who is well ac
quainted with Hooper Bay, does not
consider that section a very diffi
cult one to boats like the Arctic. It
is almost all shoal water, however,
and requires careful soundings to
be taken, but it is difficult neither
of entry nor egress. Still because
of the fact that no repoit has been
heard for so long a time, he is in
clined to regard with sericus mis
givings the prolonged absence o; the
motor boat.

High prices are simply killing
the prospei tors in Nome. With
powder, fuse and caps away up, coal
never so high, and provisions all out
of sight, since the men with monej
will not venture, the time is come
when the working man cannot. The
high rates, and higher prices which
excuse themselves by reason of the
rates, are simply killing the camp.
Prospectors realize that the time is
coming wh*n they must get out of it
unless something is done to remedc
matters. All the prospecting miners
advance the same story and say they
know when they are up against it.
It was for this reason so many left
to take care of their little stakes on
the Umatilla and the Victoria. Can
you blame them?
Election dope is now beginning
to stir up. it is said that tlie Un
terrified exp. 11 their leader Grigsuv
back on the Victoria when they will
lay tlieir ' ins lor a Imal come
back on Soli, I'lcl. The republicans
intimate that George B. hail better
keep still about George D. or there j

: the Eagle Hall for Election Eve
i and the variety of non partisan can
i didates aw wondering where they
: will get off at when it comes to dis
I tinguisliing themselves before the
'Nome voting public. Dan Suther
land has been in close and earnest
converse with the leadiig Wicker
shamites 'vlio have fought the fight
and kept the faith (the old guard j
is getting a little smaller every
year) and it is not impossible a
Wickersham rally may be held
where Dan may pay his compliments
to Sulzer and the rest. It all de
pends what will he the upshot of
the conference with the Wick lead
ers in this neck of t*he woods. The
republicans intend to lie still unless
they think that the democratic drive
will be too powerful for a defensive,
and they will forestall these plans
by a daring offensive when all the
party nominees will be hustled into
the platform trenches.
