e.-clu'w any part in the contro
versy wliii it is raging like a tempest
in a teapot in local politics. "A
plague on both their houses." say
we. We esteem our function to be
to present as fairly as pos ible the
news as it happens.
We have perceived the citizenry
of Nome behaving itself nobly upon
occasion and sustaining splendidly i
what \v( have (.-.teemed to be thei
be t traditions of tip* wondrous
Northland. W-- It.tv. remarked with

Iivi s and th'-ir goods. Among these
are their good mime- their charac
ters and their reputations before
thior neighbor" and friends here and
elsewhere.
lit yesterday's paper we very
kindly asked the man or men who
perpetrated the political advertise
ment which is growing in local;
tame to come forward and make
such explanation as they may. At
the moment of going to press ao in
formation is vouchsafed us as to
its origin .
That tin national emb'em was
dragged in the mire of a local and
domeMic political broil is the com
plaint of many. This paper is not
constituting ilscll a guardian over
iltoe sanctuaries presided our by
th" Federal authorin'.-, though we
.ire as conscious as any of the
scoundrel ism that so often assumes
the vestments of patriot! tu. We
hate small doubt but that a grand
jury will in course make til! due

of the courts.
What remaii,s of the advertisement
however is a crime in most state .
partic tlarlv it unsigned and without

community. if continuing unex
plained 't is an act cf sneaking, lurk-1
ing perti-ly, on a par with the deed j
of a midnight assassin, who too
cowardly to reveal him elf. strikes!
his victim from the dark, and who
coma ion of his guilt, hides from I
the inquiry of his fellow lien the1
evidence; of his sin. There are'
many good people in the lon.mun
ity in no wise involved in the local
bickering, and who certainly have
givi n no occasion for the vengeance 1
of a character as assir and yet 'ho
wickedness of his unsigned irnpu-1
tations have fallen alike upon j
them, as for example, the remark-1
abb assumption that in the great
crisis >nly one's democrat neigh
bor. are worthy. Even democrats
are reselling that.

This greatest of all wars is show

in all its savage implicit'-. Its •

terrible logic of complete efficiency
in war
"War used to ci-nsist of the .-n< -

on the van iiiishcrt. ’ he re.-ulls ac

in this most fearful and destruc
tive of all wars, victory consists
in an indefinite prone s of success
ful carnage. War has been sc effi
ciently » rganized that its real na
ture has finally been revealed in
all its incredible maleficence. A
populous nation in arms cannot be
defeated until its able-bodied men
have been killed or prevented from !
organizing into military units. in
order to diminish the loss in men
no effort i. spared to obtain super
iority in metal, and to this end pro- ■
digiotis sums of money are spent ;
and corresponding debts incurred. |
N'or content with its toll of exist- j
mg lite, war exacts a similarly
ca-tly tribute from the lite of the
future. Million of men will have
to labor for dorados with no re
sults hul the repair of wasted ma
terial Millions of human beings'
will be deprived of innocent and

Tip- -\• • v. Republic describes this
“strati gy ot annihilation'- as fol
low : |
‘The Allies rapture a few hund

a similar success on another. Oc- |

front hundreds of thousand:; of sol-,
diets have been killed and an uni-!
maginable amount of suffering in
fii- ted on their surviving com
rades without effecting anything
but in ignificant changes in the mi
litary situation. —
“On this front the lighting re

of soldiers are captured. Gut the

brilliant as anything in military
history. It the Germans had only
the Kmsians to deal with they
would have inflicted a decisive de

tories tactically complete as they
are. are indecisive.
“Futile as thi terrific fighting
appears to be, it posseses a hideous
and frightful conclusiveness. it F
pre-eminently successful in achiev
ing what has always been an es
sential object of ho tile armies—
that of killing a large number of
iheir opponents. The percentage
of losses among the troops which
participate in the engagements is
enormous and unprecented."
