Box 210 Nome. Alaska. Phone, Black 1*4.
Nome, Alaska, February 28. 1!»17.
I’l'MTIVK TRKATMKXT.
The Industrial Worker does not
believe in punitive treatment for any
offender of a cruel or unusual na
ture. and there are certain arts con
sidered offenses which we would
class as very mild infractions of the
moral code indeed. But we think
that the protest of the City Attorney
;it the unusual policy of moderation
used towards a certain prisoner in
the custody of tilts city, was exceed
ingly well taken and we would very
much like to call attention to the:
influence exercised by such a one to ^
secure not only a mitigation of the j
sentence, but a total discharge
therefrom as well
Because the attention of this pa
per has been called to the fact that
such influence has been brought to
bear upon this case, it may not pass
without comment. We have from
time to time noted that when min
ers come in iron the creeks, men
who worked hard and toiled labor
iously for every cent, they have,
when they indulged not wisely but
too well, been taken into custody j
and have had “the hook thrown at
them" without more ado. Fine to
impoverishment or jailed, there was
no mitigation allowed, while the
staff of the Fire Department rather
than allow them their freedom for a
fleeting minute, packed the meals to
them it their cells from the restau
rants. There was no delicate con-1
cern that they be afforded propel j
access to the fresh air, and that
they be allowed the freedom of the
itv while indulging in the unex
pected courtesy of a morning or an
afternoon constitutional. 1 here
was none to run to judges and at
torneys to secure moderate punish
ments for them, nor were there any
to show exalted concern when the
hand of an inflexible law fell heavy
upon them.
It is only when the indecencies ot
the life in the restricted district ob
tain police attention, and they
usually obtain that after complaints
are sworn, not voluntarily, the cul
prits are the object of official soli
citude and the delicate constitution
a subject of careful consideration.
Then influence is exerted to exoner
ate or to pardon; to permit the
guilty one to go if ho will absent
himself a while, to keep the matter
out of the papers, and to give these
derelict ones as little lublici.; t.s
possible.
Nothing show's the scandalous
condition of the Nome standards
just like this. Any bird of prey in
•danger secures the potent influence
of every corrupting power In the
city, and not only mercy but abso
lute perversion of leniency is
sought to prevail.
Time and time again the restrict
ed district has been the cause ot
disturbances in the life of Nome
which were covered over and hidden
under a mesh of excuses which
larked sincerity.
We understand that the city is to
plead poverty to rid itself of an un
welcome prisoner. But why then
should the city have engaged in the
matter at all? If the city Is too pooT
to preserve some semblance of de
cent conditions within the restricted
district, it is at least possible to sc
cure the aid of the federal officials.
The United States Commissioners
Court is able to handle sttch a case
in a competent manner, and we
doubt not the Influence that might
elsewhere be exercised would find
little but futility in the federal de
partments. Moreover, if the city is
unable to endure the expetsse, why
build those cells at all? And if they
are the sanitary, healthy and com
fortable compartments which the
city fathers have so designated them
why is the two hours a day con
stitutional devoted to physical cub
ture and registration actually a ne
cessity?
The Industrial Worker would de
sire to avoid being considered for
one minute In favor of treating any
person unduly harsly. God knows
there is too much harshness in the
world, and today as yesterday, the
quality of mercy is not strained.
But we hate to see the condition
that prevails so glaringly that the
working miner who transgresses is
punished with such severity, while
tlie habituee and we use that word
advisedly, of the restricted district,
has all the powers that be exerted
upon his behalf.
That is merely a prostitution of
justice. It is a disgrace to Nome.
And it is a matter we feel sure will
not be overlooked by the Federal
Officials who have no such sensitive
qualms for the "sports'’ as appar
ently prevails in high municipa'
quarters
“I»ISPKKSK1> 1JY POLICE.*'
In the report of the New York
food riots, we read with monotonous
regularity that the mobs of women
and children weie dispersed by the
police.
It seems all that authority can do
—to handle the effects of the city’s
destitute condition and to ease anx
iety by manhandling the crowd.
It works for a time. But some
day, men are going to handle the
cause of these angry demonstrations
or there will be a fearful day of
reckoning. The police power will
then be inadequate and the inevit
able will happen.
Obvionsly the condition of these
people is pitiable Not one of the re- j
ports, usually from sources not very j
friendly to the proletariat, men
tions that these riots were anything !
else but the spontaneous exercise of
the indignant impulses of women
with hungry children.
We know very well that women
who are angered because of their
offsprings will dread nothing. The
maternal instinct, the strongest
! possibly that stirs the human breast,
will know no fear, and will inevit- ■
l ably drag along with it the more
i hesitating male. History is replete
! with instances of women who be
I came desperate when their children
starved, and the maternal love that
was not equal to any personal sacri
fice is. we are all proud to know and
; to glory in the knowledge, the ex
ception rather than the rule. They
I know no such thing as fear. They
! know no such thing as cessation of
resistance until their young are
warded against the dangers and the
sufferings that threaten them. So
it is, we read with more than fore
bodings the reports sent out of
these women demonstrations in
New York. They are dispersed to
day by the police, but unless the
condition which drives them to re
volt are bettered, there will he no
police dispersal of the gathering,
but a dispersal of the police by the
women.
“A thought”, says Carlyle, “or
dim raw material of a thought, was
fermenting all night, universally in
the female head, and might explode.
In squalid garret, on Monday morn
ing maternity awakes, to hear child
ren weeping for bread. . Maternity
must forth to the streets, to the
herb markets, to baers’-queus:
meets there with hunger-stricken
maternity, sympathetic, e^caspera
tive. But instead of bakers’ queues
why not to aristocrats’ palaces, the
root of the matter? Allons^ To the
Hotel-de-Ville; to Versailles; to the
Lantcrne!”
History has recorded the rest. It
is written in red upon black. And
because men insist upon disposing
and dispersing effects which recur
again and yet more strongly again,
men have finally to deal with caures
which may not be dealt with at all.
And so it is that this story of the
women in revolt is more than signi
ficant.
