Entered as second class matter March 1, 1211, at the poot office at
Nome,'Alaska, under the Act of March 2, 1272.
Nome, Alaska, FEBRUARY 10, 1918.
He, who Wastes a Crust of
Bread, Prolongs the War.
ON TO VICTORY
Did it hurt?
Gambling! Who said so?
The right way is the industrial way.
They went there intent upon nothing’
out good?
And the only democrat in Nome too
was present!
And yet another meeting! "Prob
ably prepairing for the primaries ?”
And they don’t like the red flag of
Russia. Wtender why?
The amateur "pink” seems to i>e at
the end of his tether.
Some of the democrats seem Just
now to be “harassed” extremely.
I,eft foot, hot foot, on, on, on. That
is the way victories are won.
Laws are like cobwebs which catch
flies, but wasps and hornets break
through.
It is not the-wealth per capita but
the wealth per pocket that interests
the worker.
Was it “politics’ 'or “ policy*’ enabled
them to furnish water free at the
speak easy meeting ?
To maintain a strong organization in
the true spirit of unionism is the only
way for labor to be prepared for a
crisis.
Society can have no respect for the
intelligence of the workingman who
takes no interest in the organization
.of labor.
We have been told that we have
equality. Ask yourself if we have,1
next time you have to beg for a job.
The wall of the dissappointed jobite j
is a wearisome discord, but the cracked
pitcher never dkl give a very musical
note.
He’s a daring revolutionist that
sleeps like a dog on the floor of the
bunkhouse and fears to open his ba
zoo least the boss will can him.
Some of the new members of the as
sociation will don white collars in token
of their elevation. And to think that
they got their start like that !
Was the independence of the man
who wilted when called a wage slave
very much in evidence when the boss
hit him with a time check, after look
ing clown his collar all forenoon.
No reform, moral or intelectual, ever
came from the upper class of society.
Each and all came from the protest
of the martyr and victim. The eman
cipation of the working people must be
achieved by the working people them
selves.
Strikes in so many widely distributed
sections of the country shows that al
though "you nray starve some of the
people all the time, and all the people
some of the time, but you cannot starve
all the people all of the time,” without
fi fight.
INTELLIGENCE.
The present enormous chasm be
tween the ignorant an dthe intelligent
caused by the unequal distribution of
knowledge, is the worst evil under
which society llabors. This is because
it places in the power of a small
number, having no great natural ca
pacity, and no natural right or title,
to seek their happiness at the expense
of a large number, deprived of the
means of intelligence, though born with
a capacity for it. are realy compelled
by the small number, through the ex
orcise of a superior intelligence, to
serve them without compensation.
EXASPERATION.
Some days all things seem going
wrong, and life is not a grand sweet
song. A man has work piled up so
high that just to view it makes him
sigh; he’s busy right down to his boots,
needs every minute as it scoots; and
while hie nerves are all unstrung,there
comes a man with a rubber tongne.wlio
holds him with a calm hand, and says:
“t sell Alaska land. O, buy yourself
a happy home! I have some lemon
groves near Nome, or I can sell you
a wooded tract, and mountains; mines
and cataracts, and jiolar bears and sal
mon streams, and coal land claims and
other dreams. Alaska, fair and pic
turesque ! Why wear your life out at
your desk, when you can seek that
magic land, and gather boodle with
each hand?” Why do the agents al
ways come, when life seems dour and
out of plumb, to sell us land we would
n’t have, and soap find sealing wax and
salve? And when we kill them we're
run in, the same as though it were a
sin.
In a Glass House.
Mrs. Hinkedink—“Mrs. Ticldle
wink has the worst habit.”
Mr. Hinkedink—“What is it my
dear?”
Mrs. Hinkedink—“ She turns a
round and looks back every time wc
pass on the street.'”
Mr. Hinkedink—“How do you
know she does?” (The brute’)

A Beautiful Poem
Uncle Samuel decided upon a temporary postponement of his Instruc
tions to Brother Jonathan, pertaining to the emancipation of the wage
slave. Sam couldn’t let such an opportunity go by, without reciting
the following beautiful poem to John, who seems to be enjoying it im
mensely.
“Oh, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?"
We obtained the following copy of the poem, so highly prized by Ab
raham Lincoln, from Mr. B. F. Carpenter, the artist, to whom the form
er once recited it. Mr. Carpenter wrote it down at the time word for
word, from the Martyred President’s lips.
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a swift-fleeting meteor, a fa3t flying cloud,
A flash of the lightening, a break of the wave.
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade.
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the old, and the low and the high
Shall moulder to dust and together shall lie.
The infant, a mother attended and loved,
The mother, that infants’ affection who proved,
The husband, that mother and infant who blessed.
Each, all, are away to their dwellings of rest.
Tho hand of the king that the scepter hath borne.
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn.
The eye of the cage and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap.
The herdsman, who climbed with his goats to the steep.
The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread.
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or the weed
That withers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, even those we behold.
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream and view the same sun—
And run the same course our fathers h ■ ve run.
The thought we are thinking our fathers would think;
From the death we are shrinking our fathers would shrink;
To the life we are dinging they also would cling,
But it speeds from us all. like a bird on the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot unfold;
They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is cold;
They grieved, but no wail from their slumber will come;
They joyed, but the tongue of thoir gladness is dumb.
They died!— Ay, they died; we things that are now,
That walk on the turf that lies over their browr,
And make in their dwellings a transient abode,
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage road.
Yea! hope and despondency, pleasure and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, the song and the dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge.
‘Tis the wink of an eye, ‘tis the draught of a breath.
From the blossom of health to the paleness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the. bier and the shroud;
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
This beautiful poem, according to Mr. Carpenter, was written by Knox, 1
a contemporay of Sir Walter Scott.
