.NOME
A backward reason following an
idle winter seems to be all that is
the matter with Nome, and with
*ho steamship companies charging
Mil the traffic will boar, the cup ot
bitterness for Nome business men
seems abcut filled.
However the drinking of many a
bitter draught is quite a wholesome
tonic, and it may be that Nomeites
■will arise from their present woes
chastened and purified in body and
spirit. That does not often happen,
but at least it sometimes does.
Besides and moreover and further
more they can lay tne flattering unc
tion to their soul that Nome was
never so badly off but there were
ether places a darned sight worse.

ROOSEYEI/T SUPPORTS HUGHES
T. R. has written a letter endors
ing Hughes for President. So
strong has been apparently his anx
iety to return to the fold that it is
not unlikely, failing to get the no
mination himself, he would have
supported anyone—even Taft. He
has been steam rolled at last. White
the machinery in 1912 may not
have been weighty enough to cause
his collapse, the convention ot
1916 has not failed.
Roosevelt endorsing Hughes gets
for the latter no increase in
strength. On the contrary, he
■weakens Hughes and strengthens
Wilson. Hughes lias not enlighten
ed Roosevelt one whit what shall be
his foreign or his domestic policy.
To all appearances and for all the
public can judge by his acts, Hughes
and Taft are men modelled from
the same mold. Why Taft should be
unfit in the Rooseveltian estimation
and Hughes pre-eminently fit would
be, concerning anyone else but
Roosevelt, a mystery.
The progressives whom Roosevelt
led were most of them men in re
volt against the dominance of eco
nomic power and political privilege
over the republican party. Big Bus
iness with the stand patters could,
like the king, do no wrong. Roose
velt rode upon that wave of dis
content and when he sees it losing
itself in the counter-storm of reac
tion, lie is well content to let il
pound itself upon the beach of no
thingness. He will stay with the
high sea of party politics, let hire
who wants it take tlio rocky short
of political insurrection.
MIGHT AND RIGHT.
If we take just a little time tc
think one of the most impressivt
facts that can be discovered by ui
is that in this gay old world of our;
certain social units are gathering
together in communities to mas:
their strength for a common pur
pose. That common purpose is t!
voice certain definite and spectfli
rights and to see that the othei
units do not deprive us of them.
Thus we behold humanity gather
ing together as races, nations, clas
see to protect themselves agains
aggression and all placing their con
Jjd'ence in the right of might.
Thus in the industrial world a
against their business rivals, we fin<
aggregations of capital forming inti
trusts to crush the other fellow in
cident&lly, but mainly to secun
their ova survival; in the politica
•world we find certain interests o
races joining hands in the form o
national aggregates to defend cer
tain interests which are considerei
by them as sacred.
At best of course and at the hot
tom of it all is this survival propc
sition, which is the same in3tinc
we behold in the lowest order o
animals resisting extinction.
It is a fact that notwithstandtn;
moral code3, ethical Bystems, an<
religious convictions, the world i
still placing its confidence in thi
theory of might's right as the final
word.
Theoretically we may affect to
trust in God, but in actual fact we
trust in armies and navies. Theo
retically we may effect to
believe in abstract justice, but
in actual fact we realize that justice
i3 the interest of the stronger.
Where in the Individual, it would
be frowned upon to resort to viol
ence, an aggregation of individuals
presuming to speak for the rest do
so with perfect self justification.
Any way in this world what we
see is not any willingness to accept
the reasoning of the other fellow,
but to force upon him the reason
; ing which we have observed opera
tes to our own advantage.
That is the cause of so much in
ternational friction, and it is why
that the workers have suffered so
many wrongs as a class.
Obviously the theory of the capi
talists as to preparedness Is a two
edged blade. That It is requisite to
be prepared to defend the interests
of the powerful ones may not be
intelligently den-ed. But accepting
this doctrine at its face vaue—•
granting the premises as worth
while where does it lead us in the
matter of the conflict of the
classes?
That is the serious phase that
these preparationists and anti-pre
parationists have been over looking
all the time.
If it is necessary for capita! to
prepare against the aggression of
other national capital what of the
necessity for lEbor to prepare
against the persistent, constant, per
petual aggression of capital in its
pursuit of profits against Labor.
The capitalists dont teach the
workers any great confidence in mo
rals or in ethical conventions. Traa
iics t rc scraps of paper, internation
al law is adopted to the interest of
the stronger.
Have the capitalists litigating in
courst against injured workers
proved any less rapacious than one
national capital fighting that of an
other nation? Do they show any
trust in anything but force and viol
ence?
This is by all odds the most seri
ous aspect of preparedness. Do they
intend that labor should better the
instruction and like them prepare
to cay that might is right?
Honestly one does not know
where this world is heading in ai
if it accepts as truth the vile theory
that might is right as it Is now gen
erally doing. It the world is prostrate
Itself beneath a theory of infamy
which says that might is the only
means available to preserve our
selves against individual, nations
or class rapacity, what is it opening
1 the doors upon but red terror, anc
white hate?
1 If justice and right and truth anc
reason and interest and morality
1 are to be conditioned upon tb<
strong right arm, upon the swore
and the cannon, upon the dread
naught and the submarine, in wha
have we advanced from that evi
1 age when the world was red ii
■ tooth and claw?
Today geologists are digging u]
the fossil remains of the dreadfu
1 animals that once filled the worl<
with horror and lust of blood. Evl
eyed, armored, armed with flerc
horns and teeth and bloody claws
these fierce things are now m
more. The jungles where the;
roamed are the coal beds of th
present day. Yet their concept o
existence even as a loathsome In
stinct is identical with that whicl
says that right aDd justice are no
thing, but arms and force ar
everything.
Man in turn armed against tha
foul condition. Because even th
hideous cave-man in his lair prac
ticed elementary principles of mu
tual aid, succored where succou
^ was needed, cared for his weak am
1 his sickly, aided his tribesmen am
lis brethren, man has been a sur
vival where the natural preparation
sts sank in the swamps of a pre
listoric time, with nothing re
naming but thefr terrible fossils to
ihow what might indeed had beer,
;heirs yet how vain it all had
jeen.
OVERSTOCKED.
ro the Public: —
We have just finished stock tail
ing, and find that we are heavily
overstocked so are making enorm- j
ous reductions in Hardware—as'
much as 50% in certain lines. Not
withstanding immense advances out
side, especially in Hardware ana
Metal Goods, we are still selling on
the basis of goods purchased the
past two or three years.
We will sell for cash only at these
prices, and for a limited time, until
we bring our stock down to the re
quirements of the Camp.
If you have an order to be filled,
let us figure on it; we can save you
money. We have proved it oo
others, we can prove it to you.
