THERE ARE OTHERS.
What Nome needs most in the line
of improvement measures, points
out the plain-spoken editor of the
Nome Nugget, is a dose of “pep”—
a little of the real get-up-and-get,
put your shoulder to the wheel and
shove her along with a jumjf spirit.
The principal trouble with us is
that we are suffering with, the jaun
dice of pessimism. Everything we!
look at is either colored a dark blue I
or tinged with yellow.
Another thing is that we have too '
many citizens who are convinced i
they alone are endowed with ca- j
pacity to run things right and who!
believe that no one should even dare
to think differently from themselves.
Self-esteem is a fine thing, we’ll
admit, but when it gets a crust on
it, its possession is not conducive to
good team work. And team work is
the thing that rescues debilitated
towns from the slough of despond
and converts them into thriving
communities. Once in a while an
individual appears who is able to
accomplish such things alone, but
not often. It is morally certain
that there are none in Nome who
possess such ability, although there
are some who seem to think they
have it. The fact that they are
here, however, proves that their
capabilities are not much larger ]
than those of the average person. 1
Men .with extraordinary capabilities
don’t linger around villages like
N- 1
Nome.
As we said before, Nome needs
team work, not egotism and self
conceit, if it is to make progress. '
Leaving it to George to do all the
boosting won’t bring the district to
the desired state of prosperity. If
it is to be accomplished at all, it,
must be done by everyone pulling
and working together, with one view
and aim. Instead of cultivating fac
tions and fostering petty enmities,
we should take our coats off and go
to work on a sensible plan to at
tract attention to what we have to
offer to the capitalist and the set
tler
PRIMARIES INDECISIVE.
The presidential preferential pri-'
maries are practically over, and
hereafter the delegates to be chosen
to the Republican and Democratic
national conventions will be through
the old process of state conventions.
The results of the primaries have
been indecisive, believes the Alaska
tJuneau) Daily Empire. The ma
jority of those states which have
voted on the Republican presiden
tial nomination have given General
Wood indifferent victories. They
include Indiana, Minnesota, Nebras
ka, South Dakota, New Jersey, and
Maryland. Three of them—Califor
nia, Michigan, and Montana-—have
given Johnson sweeping victories.
Senator Harding scratched through
with his state of Ohio, and Gover
nor Lowden with Illinois. The to
tals give General Wood most of tht
delegates and most of the votes ir
the direct primary states, with John
son following him closely in tht
popular vote. However, all of thi
delegates chosen in the primar;
states include only about one-third
of the convention delegates. That
means the Republicans, with their
convention only a short time away,
are where they were months ago. j
The nomination is in the hands of
the various state organizations which
will have uninstructed delegates or
delegates pledged to favorite sons.
This is another way of saying that
the Old Guard is entering the home
stretch with the advantage on its
side.
The selection of Senator Lodge,
one of the Old Guard, for the tem
porary chairmanship of the conven
tion and Senator Watson, another
Old Guardsman, for the chairman
ship of the committee on platform,
indicates that the Old Guard is pre
paring the way for control of the
convention. That it will see that a
conservative is nominated for Presi
dent goes without saying. How
ever, it is not likely that the nom
inee will be an old-fashioned reac
tionary. The evidences of radical
ism in the big vote for Senator
Johnson wherever he was a candi
date, and the apparent growth of
Johnson’s strength everywhere with
each renewal of his attacks on the
conservative Republicans and the old
methods would suggest the unwis
dom of defying the progressive ele
ment of the Republican party.
It is said the attacks which Sen
ators Johnson, Borah and others
have launched ait General Wood and
his plethoric campaign fund have
made him a very unsafe candidate.
On the other hand, the radical ele
ments, the race conscious, the anti
everything following which has ral
lied around Senator Johnson’s can
didacy has convinced many that he
would never do as a candidate.
The natural suggestion, therefore,
is a dark horse, and the most talked
of dark horses are Hoover and Low
den. Of course, there are also
Coolidge and Sproul and Lenroot
and others.

WRANGELL FISHERMEN
ARE FIGHTING TRUST
The Wrangell Co-operative asso
ciation is a new organization that
is being formed which promises Lo
do much toward attracting many
fishermen to make Wrangell their
headquarters. The organization is
composed of union fishermen who
will ship their own fish direct to the
markets, thus eliminating the mid
dlemen. The business of the asso
ciation will be under the manage
ment of Captain K. J. Johansen.
A scow with a 40-ton capacity
arrived at Wrangell recently from
Port Conclusion, having been bought
from Jacob Johnson of Petersburg,
and the new company is now ready
jtp receive fish.
KETCHIKAN RIOTERS
ARE SENT TO PRISON
L. L. Hall, who recently was sen
tenced to serve one year in the
federal jail at Juneau, was sen
i fenced, later, to serve one year ir
-' the penitentiary' at McNeils island
Judge Jennings, it is reported, com-,
plied with the request of the de
fendant thait he be sent to the peni
tentiary instead of to the jail at
Juneau.
Judge Jennings also out the sen- !
tcnce of the other three men who |
were tried at Ketchikan with Hall, j
in view of the fact that they spent
several months in jail awaiting trial.
Lynch and Hehringer, who were sen
tenced to nine months each, got off j
with a six months’ sentence, and
Aponte, sentenced originally to six ;
months, got off with four months' :
time.
The men were convicted on
charges of rioting at Ketchikan in
connection with a strike on the
Heckman dock.

NOW FAMED ENGINEER
Something over fifteen years ago,
C. Caetani was employed by the j
Treadwell company as an engineer j
at its mines on Douglas island. He .
is an Italian of very aristocratic i
descent. He did considerable work |
underground on the island and gave
considerable study to the work in j
the mines. After leaving Tread
well, Mr. Caetani rose in the ranks
of mining engineers, until at the !
outbreak of the world war he was !
known as one of the greatest in the
profession. When Italy entered the
war on the side of the Allies he en
listed in his country’s service and
performed some of the greatest en
gineering feats ever attempted in
the mountainous borderland between :
Italy and Austria. One of his great- j
est enterprises was the dynamiting i
of the whole top off a mountain. j
Mr. Caetani, or, as he was known j
then, Count Caetani, is affection
ately remembered on the island by
oldtimers as a perfect gentleman and
a great student.
