.AX IMPARTIAL SUGGESTION
Nome, politically speaking, has
been enjoying an orgie of faction
Everyone has been scandalized in
the most ecstatic manner and if any
one, boy or man, he left out of the
circus it is not the fault of the
principals and promoters of this
genuine entertainment.
And it can be said fairly and
squarely the arrival here of George
B Grigsby as democratic deus ex
machina, nor of District Attorney
Smiser as investigator in chief, has
in the least tended to decrease that
condition to describe which in cold
print would defy the vocabulary ot
joy.
Of those events which occurred
during the winter to accentuate the
perennial madness that comes of
long nights and enforced idleness the
Worker will presently say nothing:
hut more recent occurrences have
been such as to embolden it to make
a suggestion which we hope will
secure the attention of those who
rule of the destinies of the Depart
ment of Justice in Washington.
For some time past these occur
rences have been growing in their
tendency to increase the intensive
perturbation of this community. They
are familiar to all, but lest we may
be accused of unjust appraisal of
these matters we will recite a few.
In a now famous case we have
seen the bona fides of the then dis
trict attorney questioned in a motion
ifor dismissal.
We have seen a long list of citi
zens made public under most scan
dalous classifications as sent in al
legedly, by the United States Mar
shal. ~
We have seen one of those whose
names was so circulated in town so
angered that his good name and fair
fame be aspersed that he went forth
demanding an investigation and now
declares he was informed that his
name was not on the correct list at
all!!
VV'.:' have seen that list submitted
to an amazid public and cheek by
jowl with it, a petition protesting
against the scurrilous and villa'nous
attacks upon the character of the
Judge, preferred with a courteous
request, God bless the mark, of
“Won’t you please sign it.” As if the
proper degree of heat had been
excited by one’s indignation upon
perusing that list.
So, while the Olympian Gods are
ljarking their sardonic laughter at
'i'.hese antics, comes along the Dis
trict Attorney's resignation to add
to the happiness of the people—
riTid,lh most extraordinary appoint
ment ever made anywh re at any
time in aim community, tiv’t of the
Mayor to be District Attorney.
Mr Lomen is a republican dyed in
tile w.iol. C’he rfully, politically
speaking, he would eat the official
head off Judge Holzh inter. Mr.
Gomon it; a corporation lawyer who
•i return for his retainers gives
loyal and efficient ,-v vice to such,
lie has taken sides definitely and
dcciddly rigairst organized labor in
its struggl" for the eight hour day,
and any causes that might ari. e
from that struggle will now he in his
official hand": to prosecute. Good
ness knows further comment would
l> superfluous.
The list which has been made
public is outrageous. It is without
warrant and decidedly to be con
demned. But the publicity given
’hnl without a formal investigation
Vs a mom atrocious outrage still
rind we have no doubt in the world
a libellous aet. That list is suppos
ed to be a highly confidential gov
ernment document. Its very na
ture suggests a prudent reservation
until the matter be wholly inves
tigated and its use to secure sign
natures lor a petition to calcoraine J
anything or anybody that has been|
outwardly sullied with attack is
grotesquely laughable.
No newspaper could handle that |
list in the way of publication. It
is not of record. It has no privilege
and everyman whose name appears
therein and should it be published |
in the paper, would have a clear
case against the publisher and the
plant that would venture to exploit
such a document.
In view of these things, and they
are but a tithe of the things that
have contributed to the condition
of ecstatic scandal in the political
faction fighting that has been go
ing on here for some time, the In
dustrial Worker, with the most Ju
dicial impartiality and without fear
or favor, makes the suggestion that
the whole official world, without ex
ception in this community be cleared
out bag and bagage.
We submit that the only solution
of the situation which will restore
the besmirched official dignity of
the highest and the lowest is to
i remove them all, the bashaws and.
' the bim-bashaws, and replace them
wholly and entirely by men who
have no connection, affiliation, as
sociation or alliance with any fac
tion directly or indirectly in
this Alaskan community. We would
give them free tickets to the outside
and insist that they one and all
retire say to some war garden, where
in the cultivation of cabbage heads
they would adopt a calling congen
ial to themselves and unlikely to
provoke a town and district to that
excited condition Nome has reached
at present.
It is not to be expected that Mr
Smiser will accept this view of the
situation; but there are higher than
he to whom the Industrial Worker
will submit its proposal which has
at least the merit of being the most
disinterested could be offered by any
person iq this district.

.MOTION' PICTl'RKS
American dramatic criticism has
been vitiated by the good ready
money that is paid for advertising.
The newspapers did not feel that
the truth in dramatic criticism
weighed down the cash that came
from that source and hence the
truth was placed in the discard.
The motion picture theatres and
companies have followed ir. the way
of the older fqjma of drama, and
today the advertisements are so
extensive that no such thing as a
correct criticism of the motion pic
j tures as given, is to be read in any
j of the papers.
All are all-star productions, all
apparently pulsate with life and
throb with reality, whereas the
average motion picture is so crude
a pr f. •ntation of life and morals that
no author would dare put such
third rate conceptions of life and
things in print and hope to get
by with it.
The average drama has the’good
woman and the bad. The latter goes
just as far in the way of tempting
as suggestion can go, and hestitate
about properly clothing herself as
the board of censors will permit
The exploitation of sex is the g n
eral idea that will fill hous s, and
on the whol the average produc
tion is such that the old yellow
yarn that circulated for a dime
was a high grade production in
comparison.
To say that it is obtaining money
under false pretences to lure a
public into the theatres to witness
such movies is perhaps going too
fa(r, The public acme to be
satisfied cud that ought to bo suf
ficient. It’s not likely that anj
high brow stuff would profitably
■■
take the place of the absurd con-1
traptions that are dish d up as
congenial food for the public when
a decent, wholesome story Is re
garded, by r.n otese and fish eyed
promoter, as caviare to the g reral.
There have been spl nfiid exam
ples of what the motion picture
might do. There was for example
Tess of the Storm Cout try, wherein
Mary Pickford established for herself
a reputation she very foolishly as
cribed to her own pleasing contour
of countenance. And that is a
gcod deal of the trouble . Pro
moters who have noted here cr
there a mr.-ked success, seldom
ascribe it to the play ,but to a leg
or an arm or a twinkling eye or
geacrcus display of person, when
in fact it is nothing of t.h« hind.
Until a:; unbiassed criticism, un
affected by the business cffico of
a newspaper, will make these mo
tion picture frauds take to the
woods, the public can expect no bet
ter, and will even when they are
disgusted, and not pleased, af
fect an emotion of enjoyment they
have born very far from feeling: as
one wou’d say “it was a lovely
play and the acting was just grand.”
A survey of conditions in the
Solomon section reveal the fact that
no dredge has yet started to work,
although the dredgemen are strug
gling along as best they can with a
crew of men who are willing to
work the round of the clock for a
job.
On th? Flowers dredge where re
pair work is being undertaken and
where not much more than eight
hours is the day’s work at present
but where later on it is to be 12
hours, according to reports there are
three men employed. These are Jim
Mondt, Nicola von Roennc, and one
who arrived on the first boat3 from
the outside.
Ogilsby appears to have the larg
est crew and. these consist of C. P.
Dill, William Koutgans, Fred Hinton,
Fred S Wheeler, L R Mondt, Smith
who worked a few shifts for Guinan
on the Glacier dredge, Barry Keown
formerly clerk of the House in the
First legislature and later on un
successful candidate for that body
from this peninsula, Harry Ray
who is dredge master. There are
some others whose names have not
yet been ascertained..
On the Montana boat which is
operated by Scott and Nybtrg the
latest arrival has been Coleman
Griffin.
Quigley’s camp is struggling along
without water. Three men named
George Haloff, Matt Conlan and an
other called Frank with one Eskimo
complete the crew. Miss Anna
Stevens is cook. She does not like
Eskimos because she docs not under
stand their appetite ‘some days they
eat nothing at all, and other days
they gorge themselves.” This would
indicate considerble variation in the
class of grub.
About eighteen or twenty men are
working for W. J. Rowe under union
conditions getting ready to take up
track, tearing up track ahead and
hauling rails down from East Forks.
The train makes two trips a day
with rails to Solomon, about 25
tons a trip of steel being carried.
