ISLANDERS OBJECT.
Lord Rothermere's suggestion that
Great Britain sell to the United
States British Honduras. Bahama
Islands, Bermuda, British Guiana
and the West India Islands with the
exception of Jamaica, to pay Brit
ain’s war debas, has provoked a
storm of protest in all. these colo
nies, says a correspondent of the
Associated Press, writing from Bar
badoes. The idea has been de
nounced by most of the newspapers
of the British West India Islands,
in British Guiana, Trinidad, the Lee
ward Islands, and Jamaica. Public
meetings andj legislative councils
also have denounced the project.
In some quarters it is suggested
that the idea was put forward to
scare the West Indies into accepting
annexation to the Dominion of Can
ada. Suggestions made' by Canadi
an visitors to Barbadoes that the
Canadian government was willing to
receive overtures from the W est
Indies looking to commercial an
nexation were received coldly here.
One reason for opposing the Can
adian suggestion is that the West
Indies did not wish to subject them
selves to the Canadian tariffs, which
it is felt here would tend to ex
clude American foodstuffs.
The West Indian ideal is to have
at some future time a West Indian
dominion embracing all th'c* Atlantic
and Carribean possessions of Great
Britain.
THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.
As a general proposition, men
have got a right a strike, says the
editor of the Faith (S. D.j Gazette,
but that right is piodified by cir
cumstances and is easily susceptible
of being overworked just the same
as any other right. Mon have an
equal right not to strike and to
remain on duty during a strike ot
their fellow employes,- and one right
is just as' sacred as the other. Men
have a right to organize for mutual
protection and advancement, and
they have just a« big a right to
stay out of such organizations, and
they are entitled to protection of
the Government in one right as well
as the other. They have a right
to protection against being bulldozed
or browbeaten if they- choose to be
non-union; they have a right to be
protected against slander of them
selves, their wives and children,
such as being called • scabs, hooted
at and made fun of if they elect to
be non-union, and it is the business
of the Government to protect them
in such right. The right' to strike
does not carry with it the right to
stand with a club and keep someone
else from working. When the po
licemen of Boston exercised it, it
became a conspiracy against law and
order. When the Brotherhoods
threatened it unless Congress passed
the laws they wanted, it became a
holdup of Congress. When the coal
miners pulled it off on the eve of
winter, it was too serious a menace
to the life and health of the entire
people to be tolerated. Every threat
of violence, revolution or the es
tablishment of a different form of
government, or to use force in any
iway is a defiance of the United
! States Government, a challenge to
jthe Government to use its force.
; There is but on answer to force or
i
'threats of force, and that is force.

!To the People of Nenana:
1 Although the only paper in Fair
] banks, the News-Miner has no in
tention of opening a branch office
in Xenanu or endeavoring to get
subscriptions or business there or to
! deliver the News-Miner there daily,
jfor Xenana can find all the news
that will be in the News-Miner in its
I
| own town paper, which deserves
ALL the patronage that Nenanaites
give to ALL newspapers.
Such Nenana news as the News
Miner does not pick up in Fair
banks will be taken from The Ne
;nana News or its agent in Fair
banks, and all the News-Miner wants
or expects from Nenana is such
subscriptions as old Fairbanksans
!there send in at the regular month
ly price. There will be no weekly
: issue of the News-Miner, as the j
|daily will constitute our weekly, |
mailed three copies at a time.
The Nenana News office is as well
1 ]
^equipped to do job printing as is
the News-Miner office, and the News-,
i Miner wants no printing from Ne
nana.

BID HIGH FOR FUR
1 PRIN'CE ALBERT, Sask. — The
bitterest competition for fur trade
in the history of the Canadian
Northwest is raging this winter. Un
precedented prices for furs are said
to have brought 10,000 buyers to
the Western provinces, and it is
: believed that hundreds of fur agents
have risked their lives to work their
way into wild northern regions
where competition is not so keen
and where the trappers’ prices* are
not so high.
Trappers are reaping the golden
harvest this year, it is claimed.
Last year, according to some fur
men, the trappers received only
small advances in prices for pelts,
whereas the fur dealers made tre
mendous profits. This year, it Is
said, conditions are reversed. Trap
pers are demanding 200 to 300
percent more for their furs than
.they did a year ago.
Farmers in this region have been
making considerable money hunting
J wolves. They have taught their
dogs to ride in wagons or auto
! mobiles until wolves are sighted,
i The fresh dogs then invariably cor
Jner the wolves, which are shot.
Coyote skins brought about $5 be
fore the war. This year the average
price is $25. Muskrat pelts sold
for 25 cents a few years ago. The
price this year ranges from $2 to
$3.
'CARDINAL FIRES
SHOT AT FRENCH
DRESS FASHIONS
LONDON. — Cardinal Amette a
few days ago, in a pastoral letter,
denounced the abbreviated garments
for women popularized by Parisian
fashions. Father Bernard Vaughan,
of London, who in the past has said
many hard things of the follies and
extravagances of the rich, has now,
in an interview, followed the car
dinal’s example. He said:
“When I ask myself what is in
spiring this tendency to nudity in
women’s costume, my answer is it
cannot be a rightful desire to pro
mote the health of our debutantes,
because today’s want of clothes is
savagely exposing them to consump
tion and its kindred ailments, not
|by hundreds, but by thousands. So
11 am assured by competent au
thority. Our girls who ought to
live to a ripe old age droop, drop
and die like flowers unfed by
warmth and sunshine. Improperly
| fed and immodestly dressed, they
| defy all the laws of hygiene and
Idown they go.
“Nor can the object in prevailing
fashions be a love of the true and
the beautiful, for never did fashions
as they do today so grievously mili
tate against the canons of good
taste and the laws of symmetry.
“I cannot but arrive at the con
clusion that today’s fashions are de
signed and cut not to drape the
human figure and keep it warm,
beautiful and comfortable, bu.t, on
the contrary, it would seem that
today’s so-called costumes are cre
ated with the set purpose of awak
ening in 'man unholy desires, and
perhaps of fanning into fever flame
those already kindled.
“How such conduct can be de
fended it is impossible for me as a
Christian man to conjecture. Per
sonally I feel quite sure that studied
immodesty on the part of girls de
feats its own ends. A decent man
who intends to marry a girl and
make her the queen of his heart
and the mistress of his home is not
going to choose for his partner ‘till
death do them part' a girl who has
so little self-respect she does not
even know how to clothe herself in
decency.’’

I
I COBLENZ.—Fluctuations in the
j value of the mark recently have
jbeen so Violent that German busi
jness men report that it is virtually
impossible for them to carry on
transactions with the outside world,
i Merchants contend that it is no
! longer a matter of business, but
j simply one of gambling on the ex
change. Various suggestions have
• been made by financiers and others
jin Germany to remedy the situa
tion. but as yet nothing of practical
import has been formulated.
One suggestion being considered
by bankers is that goods be bought
and sold by barter, thereby elim
inating the exchange fluctuation.
The present low value of the mark
has placed a very effective embargo
on capital attempting to escape tax
ation by fleeing the country.* It has
also automatically cut .off imports
except of articles absolutely indis
pensable. Foreign buyers, taking
advantage of the favorable rate of
exchange, have recently placed large
orders with many German factory
owners.
Snowslides recently blockaded the
White Pass railroad between mile
posts 13 and 15. At one place the
track was covered for 600 feet with
snow and rock for a depth of eight
feet, and at another place to the
depth of 20 feet for 500 feet in
length. Many telegraph poles were
carried out.

WHAT TO USE TO
PREVENT APPENDICITIS
j Nenana people should know simple
j buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as
mixed in Adler-i-ka, flushes the EN
iTIRE bowel tract so completely that
appendicitis is prevented. ONE
SPOONFUL Adler-i-ka relieves ANY
CASE sour stomach, gas or constipa
tion because it removes ALL foul
matter which clogged and poisoned
your system. The INSTANT action
surprises both doctors and patients.
