Box 210 Nome, Alaska. Phone, Black 1S4.
Entered as second class matter March 1, 1911, at the post Office at
sfome, - Alaska, under the Act of March I, 1879.
Nome, Alaska, January 10, 1018.
OXE IN TWELVE.
Dr. Alva W. Taj lor, of the Mis
souri Bible college, in an address
recently to the students of the uni
versity of Missouri .presented sta
tistics td show that in the United
States one out of every twelve mar
riages is annulled by divorce, and
that this percentage is rapidly in
creasing.
Dr. Taylor showed that, whereas
in 1870 there was but one divorce
to every 33 marriages, and in 1880
one to every 21 marriages, in the
year 1912 just closed there was one
divorse to every 12 marriages.
What say those who falsely
charge Socialism with being a men
ace to marriage to this showing?
Who is it that is ia fact debauch
ing the marriage relation, break
ing down the family life and de
stroying the home.
If the percentage of divorce in
creases. in the same ratio during
the next twenty years, half the mar
riages will be annulled by divorce
and there will be a state of af
fairs that will tax the subtlest of
the retainers of capitalism to ex
plain or excuse.
GOVERNMENT TAKING THE
TRUST.
Trust control having failed, re
lurnirg to competition and to the
happy days of Jackson and Jeffer
son being an impossibility, what
other solution is there, then, for
the trust question?
Socialists say the trust is a good
Ihing and a bod thing. It is a good
tjhng for all the fellows on the in
side and a bad thing for all the
people on the outside. If we should
ask Rockefeller what he thinks of
the trust, he would tell us candidly
that it is the best money making
nta'chine he ever tumbled into, but
Ilia people who buy the products of
that money machine hold an entire
ly diffcrnt opinion.
A trust Id like an automobile. To
chase down the pike and to see
some old farmer climb a barbed
wire fence behind a pair of run
away mules is funny to the fellow
on the inside of the automobile.
Running ahead of the buggies and
carriages, and giving the people the
dust of the road and the stink of
the gasoline is highly amusing lo
the fellow on the inside of the au
tomobile. Chasing through the
streets ol a city at the rule tf thirty
miles an hour, blowing the honk,
honk, which means for us common
people to jump, jump, Is the fun
niest thing that ever happened—to
the fellow on the inside of the
automobile.
Rut the old gentleman wito
climbed the barbed wire fence be
hind a pair of bob tailed mules; the
people who swallowed the dust of
the road and inhaled the stink of
the gasoline, and all those who do
the jump, jump, when they hear
the honk, honk, joint in one grand
and glorious chorus, saying, ‘D—n
the automobile. That machine
should be 'bussed. Those people
ought to be sent to tl;o peniten
tiary. Why don’t you shoot them,
Jim?’ etc.
And vet every mother's son and
every father’s daughter, just as
soon as he or she gets on the inside
of an automobile, acts just exactly
as the people have acted who were
in there before.
So we see that the only way we
ever can become reconciled to the
antomobite is by getting on the in
side of it. And sinco we find that
all the people on the inside of the
trust are well pleased with the
trust, the only remedy and the only
way we will ever become reconciled
to the trust Is by all of us getting
I on the Inside of the trust. And
that is the proposition made by tho
Socialists.
WAGES ANI> El EE.
Pr. Gorgas, foe of death, started
l&omcthing when he declared that
raising wages would increase the
Life span of the wage worker. Here
is what The Milwauke Leader says:
“Dr. Gorgas knows more about
saving life than any other person
on earth Ho turned Panama from
a plague spot into a health resort
if we are to judge by mortality sta
tistics—and they seem about the
be3t test possible. He has been hur
ried hither and thither over the
world ever since to take command
of the forces of life whenever death
se3med about to gain a victory over
a whole people.
‘Gorgas has always fought
death with sanitary technique.
Therefore, when he was asKed con
cerning methods of saving life it
would be natural for him to talk
of drainage, water supply, food pro
tection and general sanitary legis
lation.
‘Not one of these were lr.cntiored
Gorgas struck directly to the heart
of the questions and aside that the
(way to save life is to rais3 wages.
| Living wages would add more than
I a decade to the average life was his
carefully considered statement.
“He could have illustrated his
statement with plenty of facts. All
vital statistics show that death
| rates vary inversely with the wage
rate in every instance. As wages
go up. deaths go down. This is
true of single trades. When the
cigf r makers’ union secured the
eight hour day and raised its wages
| some 50 per cent, it added more
j than 10 years to the average life
| of its members.
“In every city the death rate is
I highest in the poorest and lowest
| in the richest wards. In trades,
j nations, classes and in every other
' way that humanity can be classi
fied the same result is seen. Every
where life increases as income rises.
'No one disputes these facts. So
cialists have been repeating them
and emphasizing them in every
other way that humanity can be
classified the same result is seen.
Everywhere life increases as in
come rises.
“No one disputes these facts. So-,
cialists have been repeating them
and emphasizing them in every way
possible. Yet when Dr. Gorgas
states them they are accepted as a
wonderful discovery.
Not I hat we would belittle his
statement of them. It took more
courage and honesty for him to tell
that simple truth than is possessed
by nine-tenths of the medical pro
fession.
“It was for telling this truth, in
part, that Dr. Nearing lost his posi
tion at the University of Pennsyl
vania. It is because other profes
sors are trying to tell similar tacts
that there is a general effort to stif
le educational ■ freedom in a dozen

fame and chief sponsor for the
(H)ellfaro Plan of the ^ke Car
i riers’ Association, trade- sape rather
striking remarks at a recent dinner
given in his honor by certain well
| to-do citizens of Philadelphia.
Said Mr. Schwab:
"There is nothing that really fi
gures but labor. Materials—ana
lyze material. You will find that
material means nothing but ‘labor.
Freight and supplies? AnalAe them
They mean nothing basically hut la
bor—just so much labor.
“In other words,, from thd first
magic touch to the last, which
turns everything into gold £ is all
labor.
“It is labor which produces every
thing, all the riches, all the splen
dor, all the wealth.
"Nothing has any value until
turned over by the hand of labor.
“Everything is begun by the
hand of labor and is finished by the
hand of labor. J
“Labor has produced all the
wealth of the world.”
Which in short is precisely what
the socialists have been saying all
the while. Amplification of the
above comprises much of what si
printed in our books and papers.
If only the workers understood as
well as the Schwabs do it would all
be over but the cheering.

I4KE FORWARD.
‘Tis swoct to live; to feel the pri
mal urge
Of combat in the titan struggle’s
stress;
To breast the storm; embrace the
flood; duress
To work, at Freedom’s battling
forces surge.
But when dim terrors from the
mists emerge,
And somber shades approach with
chill caress;
When day is done nor snnbright
kisses bless,
And Death waits where the paths of
fate converge.
Oh, that the boon were granted
then to die
in some vast vortex of the Holy
Cause,
Some cataclysmic travail of the
strife,
Whence from the depths nr.y eager
soul might cry
To others, ' straining ‘mid mad
men and laws,
And Death cnglorify as well as
Life.
