INDUSTRIAL, WORKER:
Please allow me a few lines in re
igard to the Sweepstake Dog race.
I was surprised when I read In
the Worker that there would be no
jrweepstnkc race this year on account
|of the war. I thought it was funny
■ythat the dog gamblers had a change
of heart at the eleventh hour, or a
short time before the race had to be
run. After in every way as in years i
before, trying to gather money from
you people in Nome all winter.
<And cur young men and some of our
women are bleeding and dying on the
battle-fields in Europe. * 1 began to
look for a Nigger in the fence, and
I believe I have found him. I for
my part do not believe the Sweep
stakes race was stopped on account
of the war, in the way you would
•like the people to believe. Eor the
■war was going on before the great
entertainments last winter started
for the benefit of the Alaska Sweep
stakes dog race.
I do not know if it was worked
that way this year, but sometimes
*he gamblers have even given prizes
to pome of your children that could
sell the most tickets to some enter
tainment for the beautiful dog races,
.and you people paying for the prizes,
but perhaps the dead dogs were
turned over to the Nome people,
(that ought to be some satisfaction,
for I know that they were brought
hack dead or alive.
As I said before, I do not believe
you stopped the race on account of
the war, I think the war stopped
you, I presume you did not get
money enough to satisfy all the
gamblers. Suckers are not as plen
tiful in Nome ^t the present time,
ms when the dog gamblers raised
Ten Thousand Dollars; many men
and women in Nome did not like the
four hundred and eight mile dog
killers crimson trail between Nome
and Candle.
Even you gamblers do not seem
to like it this year. It is a fearful
thing when men and women will
spend money on a dog killing pro
position liko the Sweepstake race
\when our Country needs in the ser
vice all the help that every citizen
is able to render. Say nothing
about our helpless starving people
In AMERICA in many places. Europe
•is crying to High HEAVEN for help;
thousands upon thousands are like

Little children, old men, old
women I am sure are sending many
mighty prayers to Heaven for a piece
Ipf bread. Can anyone resist that
fetill small voice that calls to me
and you, on our life journey, from
the battle fronts of Europe, in dif
ferent places for help? Wake up
MEN and WOMEN of Nome, you will
feel much Dotter if what little you
can spare, you give to suffering
humanity and not spend it on the
(dog gamblers. I have talked to a
lot of men and women in Nome for
a number of yeys back about the
cruel way dogs are handled on the
long way to Candle.
Some told me they did not like it
but could say nothing on account of
I heir business. As for hurting my
business b.< telling the truth, that
part is all right; I am notning but
a common shovel stiff; I guess they
will not hurt my business much.
Letters have been sent here from
different places in the states from
people who have a human heart pro
testing against a four hundred and
eight mile race. I have been told
that we have a humane society here
in Nome, if that is so they might as
well be in Patagonia for all the
good they have ever done in Nome.
Some of you people in Nome do
not know how cruel some men can
be or what they will do in order to
win the money prizes you foolish
people have been helping pay for so
many years, when perhaps your fam
ilies’ needed that money at home,
and no dobt some people spent al
most the last dollar on the Alaska
Sweepstrke dog race and forgot to
pay their store bill.
It is about time to stop all that
[cruelty to the poor durnl} brutes that
cannot help themselves.
If Satan was not up to date and
able to hold his job, but had to ab
dicate in favor of the Kaiser, lookout
it will be hotter than ever. So do
not expect any snow or long dog
races if you happen to get there.
In closing I will make you this
proposition, if you give what money
you have on hand for the nextyear’s
Sweepstake dog race to the RED
CROSS here in Nome I will give
FIFTY DOLLARS with it. That is
about the only way my money will
/mix with crimson trail money.
If this proposition does not suit
tyou, you at least ought to put up a
monpment and I should suggest
Barracks Square here in Nome, for
the dogs that have been driven to
death on the crimson trail to Candle.
' If you will do that I will give
each member of the Kennel Club
here in Nome an IRON CROSS if
old Bill in Europe has not used up
all the iron for crosses before I get
around to it.
