Oily Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. DEC 16, 1915.
In spite of the fact that we have a
large and flourishing grievance (gains;
Austria because of her evident con
spiracies against the peace and wel
being of the country, it is still cheerfu
news to hear that the government will;
not insist on the withdrawal of Baroi
Erie Zweidln-1: former counsellor
if tlie Austrian embassy and now act- (
ing minister lit tlie absence of a regu
fur appointed representative. The j
state department has evidently con- !
eluded that the representations of that
gentlemen, that hr tv a? not p. responsi- I
hie agent in furthering the attempts!
of the uiilamented Dumba to hinder j
and destroy the tr.vtfi in i mmunition
have a sufficient basis in fact to war- j
rant the belief that he has only been I
guilty of being In very bad cotnpanv -
and ho will, therefore, be allowed to i
stay In what is, In all probability, a \
very good Job.
This is as it should be. Although the
T'nlted States has a very big and very
vital grievance against the Austrian
government because of the activities
of Us representatives, it still has no
desire to do the Austrians an Injustice
in casting out a man who Is guiltless
r'f intent to do harm to the country 01
its institutions.
American wants above all tilings tc
be fair, to dispense an equal justice
to all men. There is no disposition tc
damn the whole official family of Aus
tria on this side of the Atlantic sim
ply because a few of them have proven
themselves despicable knaves. Neith
er is there a desire to strip Austria
of active representation in the United
States, save In the event that the ma
chinations tlie Vienna governmen1
become undesirable. For men of tlie
Dumba stripe tlie country has no room
be they from Austria or any other
eonutry; but for clean and honest
men; men who tend to the affairs of
their country while respecting the laws
and privileges of this, tlie United
Suites has nothing but the highest
regard. The departure of men of
this class is ever viewed with a sincere;
regret for the reason that there is no
country on the earth that grants a
larger measure of respect to Indivi
dual worth than does the United
States. There Is perhaps no other
country that holds In higher regard
the man who "minds his own busi
ness." If Baron Zw'eidlnek Is one of
this class we are more than willing
to accord him the merit he deserves.
The difficulties we are having with tlie
nation he represents make not the
slightest difference as long as he him
self Is above suspicion. It Is only with
those who attempt detrimental and
harmful things that we have a quarrel.
Cleanness of action and spirit we will
always respect and honor In a foreign
representative regardless of where he
may hall from but we have no use
for those who seek to subvert the in
terest of this country to the purposes
and ambitious of their own or any
other country.
LESLIE’S TAKE UP MAIL MATTER.
i Fairbanks Times.)
In the mall which arrived recently
from the outside, the Fairbanks Com
mercial Club received a letter from
John A, Slelcher, editor of Leslie's
Weekly. i dative to the mail service in
I e interior. The letter indicates that
he people of the interior have liter
Uy taken the first trenches in the
ght for an all the mail all the time
orvioe, and lends the officers of the
.'ommercial Club to believe that great
r results may be obtained If the bat
tle t* continued.
The letter from Mr. Slelcher, togeth
er with an enclosure, will be of ln
'erest to Fairbanks The letter Is as
follows
'New York. Oct V l»15.

"Mr. Praeger explained that there
vt-re great difficulties involved In de
ivering the various classes of mall in
\taska. It sometimes is necessary to
>ay a man $212 for a 75-mile haul. The
daces from which ecmplalnts have

lifficult of all to make deliveries tr

he preference over advertising mut
'er and will be pushed through ns
rapidly as possible in the winter de
liveries. There still may be some
'rouble, but I think conditions imme
diately will improve to considerable
extent.”
When the first letters were sent out
from Fairbanks to the periodicals ot
the country, complaining ns to the
•'oor mail service, and after they tiad
taken the matter vp with the depart
ment, the official? mswered invariably
that nothing could he done. The let
ter from Mr. Slelcher Indicates that!
he constant pressure brought to bear
by the many periodicals, together with
he innumerable rersonal letters sent
to the department, is having the ef
fect of making the officials see the ne
essary for some improvement.
The officers of the Fairbanks Com
nercial emb feels now. more than ever,
hat If the fight for a better service
' i continued It will he ultimately sue-;
"essful. For this reason, they wish
o urge aP who have not done so be- j
pore to nerd out complaints as to the j
service, to papers and magazines for
vhich they subscribe. The blanks ex
lalning the whole situation will be
riven to anyone wishing to send them
