FALSE FEARS AND TRUE.
Something is destined to strike
the world with “ism” on the end,;
believes the editor of Henry Ford’s j
International Weekly. There seem j
to be scores, hundreds of men kept
wakeful at night, he says, from
fears of Bolshevism, Socialism, An
archism, Radicalism, or some other
evil ending in “ism,” which they
can see or dream of as coming
upon us.
Now these things are not any
nearer, so far as sane men can
discern, than they were a genera
tion ago. We are getting many im
provements in government. We arc
making many advances in govern
ment. We are developing a democ
racy in industry- But these things i
are not Bolshevism, Socialism. An- j
archism. or Radicalism. They are;
merely efforts for more justice.
Now we need not be afraid of!
any of these “isms." The reason we j
need not fear them is that they are
"“isms,” and man is not a victim of
mere doctrines fabricated or imag
ined. But that does not mean that
there are not changes coming, j
Changes are coming, and it is the j
fear of these changes, not the fear '
of any of these “isms,” which -o;
much distresses those who love the
old, established, stack-in-the-mud,
reactionary rules.
There is only one way in which ;
violent and bloody revolution can j
he brought about in this country
There is only one direction from
•which its approach may be feared. !
Reaction, if it were powerful!
enough, could to repress all expan- .
sion of human liberty that some day
an explosion would occur. The lov
ers of social injustice, if they had
their way, would so put down all
norma! efforts of progress that some
day the damned-up waters would
flood all life and industry, with wide
and terrible destruction.
Let us therefore not fear any
rule by “isms.” Let us fear social
injustice Let us fear reaction. Let
us fear placing dams of stupidity
across the currents of human prog
ress, or repressing the warm cur
rents of life and strength in the
people. If we are to fear anything,
let us fear to be unjust, let us
dread to continue public wrongs, let
us shrink in horror from social un
righteousness. If true fears warn
us, false fears need not trouble us.
HUN COMMUNISTS.
The peace treaty of Versailles
constitutes the sole basis of Ger
many’s eastern policy today and to
morrow, asserts the North German
Gazette. The newspaper points out
that Germany, in that treaty, en
gaged to declare the treaty of Brest
Ldtovsk to be null and void and to
recognize such new erstwhile Rus
sian border states as might receive
the approval of the Entente.
The paper denounces the German
Independent Socialists for endeavor
ing to induce the German govern
ment to open negotiations with the
soviet government of Russia. It de
clares that the intention of the In
dependents is to lead the German
government to support the Russian
Bolshevik regime and to give it
military, economic, and diplomatic
backing.
“This,” says the paper, “would
be a breach of the peace terms and
would bring about just what the In
dependents are so anxious to avoid,1
a conflict with the Entente.
“It must remain, therefore, that
the German government lives with !
the soviet government neither in j
peace nor war, but that it awaits j
the development of affairs in East-;
ern Europe until the hour when re- j
lations can be established, without j
endangering Germany’s fate.”
NOT AS IT USED TO BE.
—
Harry Gullett, official correspond- j
ent with the Australians in the cam-1
paign which broke the Turkish rule
over Palestine, says that country
“was disillusionment all the way.”
In a speech to newspaper men on
returning from the “Holy Land” he
added:
“Palestine was the ghost of a j
country living on the memory of a j
glory that had gone. ‘Jerusalem the i
golden' was a most verminous and,
foul city. There was not a cedar i
on Lebanon; no balm blew over j
Gilead, and there were no bulls in
Bashan.
“What the Australian learned
from this land was that he must
always keep and strengthen his idea!
of one land for one race.”
WASTING TIME.
Civilian visitors returning; to Lon
don from tours of the battlefields
in France criticize the salvage op
erations still being carried on there.
“Men who ought to be back at
their work in England are engaged
in collecting useless scrap on every
battlefield, under the direction of
officers who have lost all keenness
for work since the war ended a year
ago,” commented one visitor.
“I spoke to two officers, each of
Whom told me that the value of the
salvage would not compare with the
money spent in these operations,"
said another.
Others say that the French are
complaining of the presence of thou
sands of Chinese labours engaged
in the work of laying out tennis
courts or building useless armv huts.

DANCERS EAGER FOR
BIG CHRISTMAS HOP
Much interest is being evidenced
by the dancers of Xenana in the
forthcoming Christmas dance, which
will take place at Union hall on
Christmas night. There are many
who consider the Christmas celebra
tion incomplete without a dance as
a concluding feature, and there is
! reason to believe the hall will be
crowded with merrymakers.
Christmas decorations will add
considerably to the appearance of
jthe hall, and the Coliseum orchestra
!will be there with the very best in
,the way of music. Prof. Berggren
.having announced that he has sev
eral new dance hits that are simply
^irresistible.

NEW CENTRAL WILL
Nenana's newest restaurant, the
Central Cafe, will open its doors to
the public tomorrow afternoon at
five o'clock with a special dinner,
prepared for the occasion, and a
long list of short orders that will be
indicative of the desire of Proprie
tor John Ketooroky to please Xe
nana appetites.
The new Central, which occupies
the entire ground floor of the Mor
rison building, on A street, is one’of
the most attractive eating places in
town, the building having been en
tirely remodeled to meet the re
quirements of Mr. Ketooroky. The
result is a cafe of which the town
may well be proud, pleasing in ap
pearance, convenient in arrange
ment, and with a number of private
boxes that are quite apart from
the main dining-room, with private
entrance from the street. Another
feature is the separation of dining
room and kitchen sufficiently to per
mit a view of the range without the
annoyance of kitchen odors.
The new cafe will make a spe
cialty of after-the-show specials,
which w-ill be more than the usual
light lunch and yet not in the din
ner class. The specials will be
served at moderate prices and each
night will find a new one on the
bill.
Mr. Ketooroky wants Xenanaites
I to see the new Centra! and to enjoy
jthe splendid menu which he is pre
| paring for the opening tomorrow
jafternoon. Cuisine and service un
' excelled, will be the motto of the
i new eating place.

WOMAN’S STATEMENT
WILL HELP NENANA
•'I hated cooking because whatever
I ate gave me sour stomach and a
'bloated feeling. I drank hot water
and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing
helped until I tried simple buck
j thorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed
: in Adler-i-ka.” Because it flushes
,the ENTIRE bowel tract completely
'Adler-i-ka relieves ANY CASE sour
.stomach, gas or constipation and
prevents appendicitis. The INSTANT
: action is surprising. A. D. Thomp
