City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, AUGUST 2, 1916.
It cannot be believed but that mis
information of some nature lies at the
bottom of the alleged refusal of Pre
sident Wilson to consider certain plans
for bringing about a Ixisis of agree
merit between the warring nations of!
Europe, which are sniil to have been
| entrusted to Miss Jane Adams, the
I famous peace exponent, by one or more
I of the belligerents. If. as the reports
suggest. Miss Adams was commission
ed to place before the President \hc
terms upon which an amicable adjust
ment of the international difficulties of
Europe could be achieved, it Is not to
1-c doubted that the President would
htve seized upon them with all pus.
sible dispatch, even in the even, that
they 'presented n< more than a bare
pctslbillty of biinging abiul tl « do
desired result. While it may be an ac
ceptable theory to the more fanatical
members of the pro-German element of
the country, that tlie United States is
I reaping too rich a harvest frotn the ti
tanic struggle to wish that it might lie I
discontinued, no one short of an im
becile will believe that such considera
tions would have any weight with the
President or the general run of the
American people. The United States
is undoubtedly reaping a rich harvest
from the war. in certain ways, yet, it >
la remembered by all true Americans,
that the profits accruing to America
through that medium are wrung from 1
the lifeblood of Europe, and the lmncj
and flesh of men. Each and even j
dollar so brought to our shores is!
stained with the crimson of on awful
crime and tarnished with the tears of
weeping millions. Each and every true
horn American knows this and deep in
his heart deplores the fact that in ac
cepting of tlie gains bought by the
lawful sacrifice the nation is contribut
ing to its support—is. in fact, trafficing
in the lives and souls of men and help
ing to sustain a condition which no
excuse can condone. And it is believed |
that the President realizes this as
much as any other right thinking Amer- ]
ienn and would willingly see abolished !
the conditions whereby we gain re
gardless of what the nation might lose. I
And it is not to he doubted for a mo-1
- ment that if the opportunity to bring
this greatest of all world conflicts to I
|an end by any honorable means were!
presented to the Executive, he would
use all possible endeavor to achiev<
that result not only for the sake of I
humanity lint also because of tlie fact
that li> such 'action lie could win to
htmself a crown of undying fame1
through being instrumental In bringing
about the greatest human benefaction
ever known.
One ran hardly think i a m j
glorious f 1 lie than •vmi1 l gra-e the
ni me of hi:a who co ild ho it he pro
sei t saturnalia of carnage am li'iman
misery to a close, and lie who is so for
tunate as to achieve that end will
stand alone in the eyes of humanity as
the greatest of all human benefactors
from the beginning of history up to the
present day. From every pole of view
It would appear tliut th ■ National
Council and also the various other or
ganizations who have, aooorilng to ihe
t« legraphle report, communicated with
Miss Adams In regard to the alleged
refusal of the President to conjmler the|
plans submitted by that IntU on bp-1
half of certain belligerents, are troubl
ing themselves unnecessarily There
is not tiic least doubt that .f such pro
posals were presented by Miss Adams'
they would not be refused a hearing
save ia tile event that the plan of|
(tuediation proposed was founded ri,
methods that could not tic accepted
with honor and we believe that if such
were the ease the President would not
hesitate to let tile people know that
offers of a doubtful natur-> had been
pii posed. However much we may dis
agree with the presidential pnlici s, we
cannot hut acknowledge the belief that
whatever the executive on icrtakes is
clone with a full consciousness of Ins
duties and obligations and tie- course
pursued Is in perfect keeping with the
high minded and noble sentiments so
frequently expressed in his public ut
terances.
