City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA. JULY 7, 1915.
An announcement from New York
that the German league, with head
quarters in that city, have dropped the
name of Theodore Roosevelt front Its
rolls because of his recent warlike ut
terances anent the I„usltuniu disaster
places the Irrepressible Teddy in a new
light and also discloses that the league
has lost sight of its original object—
to stir up trouble. The trouble is. of
course. Intended for the allies, under
the guise of promoting good fellowship
between the citizens of the United
States and Germany. While the pro
motion of good fellowship is the object
stated at the head of all literature
sent out in the name of that organiza
tion. it requires but a brief glance over
the various emendations to find out
that their good fellowship, which, in
its very essence, spells peace and good
will, means that such good fellowship
is to be obtained at the expense of
Great Britain. In other words the
British are to be damned in order that
the citizens of the United States may
come to know the saintly virtues of
Germany and her citizens. While we
have no fault to find with this natural
desire of the German-Amerlcan citizens
of New York to blast the enemy by
telling the people of this country what
a bad lot the English are, the dropping
of Roosevelt because he is inclined to
take offense at the killing of a few
hundred Americans by the brothers of
the German element in this good fel
lowship seeking organization, indicates
that the league does not relish the
idea of criticism of anybody's fault
save those of Great Britain. The real
and only object of this organization is
to create sympathy for Germany by
pointing out the faults of the English;
to make capital at the expense of
someone elses fallings, and, it is be
traying a peculiar Inconsistency when
it drops from its rolls one who justly
heaps upon itself the eonls intended
for the head of another. That seems
lo be the one singular peculiarity of
the larger portion of the German
American population of this country;
that they cannot be brought to see
that Germany is not akin to Caesars
wife but Is fully equal to the enemy in
their capacity to do wrong, once In a
u 111 If tit If list
While the city clerk of Nome is
something of a Poo Hah in the amount
of dignities he carries, lie is. in the
phrase of the day, "not in it" with the
clerk of the town of Fairbanks, for
that dignitary not only has honors
fully equal to those of our own official
but in addition has recently found
himself endowed with the office of
chief of the Are department in addition
to his duties of clerk, magistrate, etc.
The bearer of this wealth of civic
honors is J. .1. Buckley who must be
a veritable phenomenon to hold down
his job without getting things mixed.
That the problem of the unemployed is
fast becoming recognized as one which
.properly belongs to the community
as a whole and not an object for pri
vate attention altogether save in the
event that it become alarming in its
proportions, is indicated by the fact
that a number of the cities and also
several of the states are passing legis
lation looking to the relief of the un
employed at all times regardless
whether unemployment is the result of
unusual conditions or not. The latest
specimen of this tendency is manifest
ed in a bill recently introduced in the
Pennsylvania legislature providing for
a local option unemployment tax for
the malntainence of employees who
may be thrown out of work through
the operations of the local option law.
In addition to being a departure from
the former order of things, this bill is
also unique in that it recognizes that
those who derive their living from the
liquor interests are entitled to a little
.consideration when, through the ac
tion of the community, they are forced
from their regular means of obtaining
support. The great prohibition wave
that has swept over the country has
driven thousands from their customary
means of support and .while it Is not
denied that in the majority of cases the
Individual is really benefitted by being
compelled to follow some other occu
pation, at the same time it is hardly
fair that they should be thrust out of
their living through the will of the
community and left to shift for them
selves whether they have a dollar for
their support, while they are seeking
a new avenue of endeavor, or not.
While the lesser fry among those who
derive their living from the manu
facture and sale of liquor are largely
looked upon as disreputable and are
in many cases treated as pariahs, they
are nevertheless human and are en
titled to some consideration, and. if
they are to bp arbitrarily forced into
new occupations through the will of
the community, it is but right and pro
per that they should in case of need
receive the help of those who took
away their means of obtaining a living
pending the time required to And other
means of livelihood.
