OUTPUT CLAIMS.
We note with interest, writes :
resident of Iditarod in a eommunica
tion addressed to the Iditarod Pio
neer, the estimate of the productio:
of gold for 1919 in Interior Alaska
published in the Dawson Daily New
recently, in which Fairbanks lead:
without making use of the outpul
of the surrounding camps, although
attention is called to the fact thai
they are entitled to include a!'
camps within a radius of 60 miles
We are reconciled to the fact that
no matter what our production, wt
could not be first; but what occa
sions surprise is the fact that suck
an article could be published ir
which we are given credit for oui
production without a denial front
Fairbanks papers. Surely they do
not realize that for once they stand
alone, and their neighbors are actu
ally credited with their outputs.
The actual production of the Idita
rod district vil^ be over $800,000
this season, but even then we can
not head the list while Fairbanks
reserves and claims the right to
reach out 60 miles for their total.
It seems that the smaller they grow
in population the wider their limits
extend in producing territory.
It was once our fond conceit that
an inland empire was growing here
amongst the moss and niggerheads,
hut we must in all fairness admit
that as empire builders we are a
fizzle. W7e have used the wrong
tactics. We have endeavored to let
the showing we have made speak
for us, while Fairbanks has taker
both her own production and tha!
of her neighbors to use for herself
and in calling attention to her great
ness, modesty has not been the car
dinal virtue of the "'Metropolis o!
the Interior.”
We have attempted to follow tht
old axiom that actions speak loudei
than words, but we are thoroughl;.
convinced that there is somethin-’
wrong somewhere, We have pro
duced over one-third as jr^ich golc
as Fairbanks, and still when ar
appropriation is to be divided wf
are not invited to attend. Fair
banks gets it. They advertise thej
have the largest number of auto
mobiles in Alaska, which is surf
proof of good roads, while we stil
buy boots when we attempt to gel
over our little seven-mile stretch oi
road.
We received letters and telegram:
from Fairbanks asking us to reporl
to them promptly all our Red Cross
collections. They telegraphed hert
and appointed speakers for our Lib
erty Loan campaigns.
Our mail is now routed through
Fairbanks. Our mail route was one
of {he last and only things thai
belonged to us. Surely they didn't
need even that to add to thei:
greatness. They boast now in theii
latest papers that all the mail foi
the Interior now comes through
Fairbanks. Our Seward route—
hundreds of miles shorter—kept the
country open between here and the
coast, and caused some travel.
We were successful in getting a
separate chapter for ourselves in
the Red Cross and also in being able
to remit direct and obtain credit foi
the $300,000 in Liberty bonds which
(were sold here.
| Now the mail route is no more,
■ j the Liberty Loans are of the past,
\ and we have only our Red Cross
chapter left.
Take it, Fairbanks, it is all we
1 have, but we give it to you freely;
' make what use of it you will.
| When the next appropriation is
announced, tell them of your great
| ness, and show them that Alaska is
| Fairbanks.
We freely admit your superiority.
You ARE great.
VOX POPULI.
Impeachment of the people of the
United States for lack cf patriot
jism is the unavoidable interpreta
tion to be placed upon the con
tinued insistence of the President
that his will must prevail and Am
erican sovereignty be surrendered
jto the League of Nations, claims
I the Republican Anchorage Times.
jPrior to the elections of last No
jvember. President- Wilson appealed
for election of a Democratic Con
gress as an endorsement of his ad
ministration and an expression of
confidence as he entered upon the
] peace negotiations. He assured the
’people, “I will accept your judg
ement without cavil.” With that plea
before them and freshly impressed
upon their minds, the people de
liberately chose a Republican house
nd a Republican senate.
In spite of that vote, following
ihis promise to accept the judgment
:of the people without cavil, Presi
ident Wilson went personally to the
peace conference, took with him
only such men as would subordinate
|their minds to his, and was, for all
practical purposes, the sole spokes
man of this great republic. He not
only merely ignored but defied the
voice of the American people.
Now when the countrv has before
it a peace treaty which overthrows
American traditions, which impli
cates this nation in the theft of
Shantung, which binds the people
of this country to engage in for
eign wars at the beck and call of
other powers, and which involves
a maze of international complica
tions making certain the multipli
cation of wars, senators are told
,that they must stand by the Presi
dent or be condemned as ‘‘imbe
ciles," men of "pigmy minds,” and
promoters of war. Men who were
deliberately chosen by the people
, in opposition to the President and
, in view of his promise to "accept
jyour judgment without cavil” are
i now told that they are bound to
accept the ipse dixit of the man
j whom the people have repudiated.
; Such an attitude as that is noth
ing less than impeachment of the
i people, in the only manner in which
they can speak, at the polls last
j November. It is an impeachment
j which will be determined in No
vember, 1920, when the people will
j have opportunity to say whether
ithey desire their public servant to
‘usurp the power of master.
That representatives of America
will not accept the peace treaty in
the raw state is plainly evidenced
by the senate’s actions during the
last days of the special session of
Congress. This in the face of deter
[rained opposition from the admin
istration. If necessary, further evi
dence of the people’s voice is ap
parent by the returns of las
month's elections. Generally tin
power of the ballot, America's pre
rogative, determined that the voter:
of the nation do not take kindly t<
the administration’s dictatorial meth
ods. The fitting climax will com<
next November. —
Advices received from the Kus
jkokwim country state that it va;
the intention to close the wireles;
plant at McGrath at the end of th(
dredging season in that locality.
J. J. Buckley, of the commissarj
office force, went to Fairbanks or
yesterday’s train, to be absent unti
Tuesday.
General Storekeeper George Mar
kus, who underwent an operation ul
the Government hospital recently, i<
recovering rapidly, aided by hi;
splendid physical condition and mod
el conduct as a patient.
Jack Sullivan left Fairbanks thi:
! morning with a load of supplies foi
his roadhouse on the Richardsor
trail.

Nenana. Dec. 6. 1919.
Editor Nenana News:
Regarding an article which ap
peared in yesterday’s issue of the
Fairbanks Citizens, referring to a
number of applications for citizen
ship papers, filed during the week
at Fairbanks, and in which my name
appeared as an employe of the Alas
kan Engineering commission, I de
sire to state that I am not an em
ploye of that organization, although 1
did work on the railroad for a short
time earlier in the season, my entire
period of employment being 171;;
days.
I now have other employment
which will keep roe busy all winter,
and I secured that employment be
fore making application for my first
papers. The circular referred to
by the Citizen did not influence my
action, inasmuch as I am not an
applicant for a railroad job. I am
honest in my desire to become a
citizen of the United States and
have availed myself of the first con
venient opportunity to make appli
cation for the necessary papers.
