NOME, ALASKA, OCTOBER 21, 1916.

We read not long ago a history ot
the buciiiccia wuo iav aged anu plund
erc-u i..e bpu.ii.su Main in me lstb
century. \u lound it an ugly siory.
Tncie are lew uguer to be tound in
the long black record of man s sins.
but, murucious robbers ihougn they
were, tney were men, compared with i
the- majority ot the cowaruly, sneak
ing piunuerers who ply their mean
anu soruia trade in the peaceiul towns j
ana ciues of touay. by comparison, I
those ancient freebooters claim our re- |
speci. To put It in another way, one's I
contempt for them is less complete |
than that which one must feel for the
bucaneers who sit Bafe In an office
and plunder thousands by means of
fake medicines, worthless stocks, lying
letters, false advertising and the thou
sand and one other tricks employed to
ensnare others without endangering
the wily tricksters themselves. The
m< n of the pirate ships were at least
open and honest in their plundering
and crime. They were bad; so bawl
that no one can say a word In their de
fense. But, unquestionably they were
men; they possessed courage and dar- (
ing and manly traits which men can
never despise. They held their lives
lightly, braved the seas in leaky ships,
shunned not the battle, tbe band to
hand combat und laughed at death
and wounds.
But, these modern pirates, the bu
caneers of the easy chair, the shining
linen, the diamond rings and broad
cloth suits, the soft, sleek well fed,
well cared for bodies and the hard
hearts; there is in them little of manly
truiis und less of manly virtues. There
is not enough of manliness in them to
distract one's attention for a moment
from their complete meanness and
shameless rotteness.
Take the case of the man who makes
his "easy money” by the advertising'
and sale of some worthless mixture
which he lying declares will curs all
manner of human Ills. He Is, perhaps,
the meanest scoundrel of them all. He
secures a dollar or two or three from
the thin purse of tbe poor-some poor
unfortunate woman, perhaps, who has
earned her meager stipend by days of
toil over tbe washtub or in the grinding
mills where every possible ounce of
human energy is crowded into each
passing hour. Perhaps it is such as
she who sacrifices her hard earned
money to these sleek pirates of modern
days, in the vain hope of finding a
cure for a sick husband or child. The
soft bodied, callous hearted faker, who
probably never did an honest day's
work in his life, right willingly takes
the price of that poor woman’s sweat
and toll and gives nothing In the world
for it but a damnable, dirty, lie. We
doubt very much if any rough and
ready crew of pirates who sailed the
Spanish Main in those ruthless far oft
duys would have countenanced such
an om for company. The desperado
who rolm a train Is a hero, a man and
a gentleman by comparison with such
us these. The world is flooded with
useless ami injurious nostrums, parad
ed under the name ot medicine;' with
diluted and adulterated foods; with
dishonest made goods of every kind,
and, in every case some person Is
making a fortune out of the miserable
traffic. Lying and cheating are openly
gloried in when it is safe—and it Is
i
■ —'_ _
safe much oftcner than It ought to be.
The bucaneers of the Spanish Main
deceived no one. Every one with whom
they came in contact knew very well
their trade—that they were out to rob
and kill. The man who could get in
the first blow was welcome to kill
them. But the first thing thought of
by the modem bucaneer is safety. He
is willing to rob and cheat, and even
kill with his deceptive doses, but he
has not the courage to show his band;
not one of bis soft, pink fingers Is to
be risked In the rotten game. The
pirates, as wo said, were bad, very bad,
but they were honesty Itself compared
to the countless rouges which filch
the dollars from the poor from the
comfortable shelter of an upholstered
office In modern days.
