Oily Official Paper
NOME ALASKA, DEC. 8, 1915.
vhe uiiuuunccintMl that President
ViMsuii wUi insist on the recall of
* Boy-Ed and von rapen, regardless oi
wiiai Germany may think about it, will
meet with the unqualified approval ol
true Americans everywhere. It has
Cecil piuten to the satisfaction ot the
administration that these men, al
though clothed in lofty dignities us rep
lescntaives of one of the world’s great
est powers, have descended to the
lowest trickery and intrigue against
me peace and dignity of the Uniteu
states, have been guilty of gross mis
conduct and abuse of their official
privileges as envois of a great and
supposed honorable power; have even
attempted positive Injury to the rights
and institutions of the land to which
they are accedlted, In violation of all
rules of honor and principle.
They have stamped themselves as
representatives of low vicious intrigue,
of duplicity and double dealing. They
have proven that they are enemies of
the country and Us Institutions and
their very presence Is, therefore, and
affront, an insult, to the nation and Its
people.
We are done with them and the
sooner the country is rid of them the
sooner will we be able to breath the
air, pur© and unpolluted by their pres
ence.
Further, the government should no'
stop at ridding us of the Boy-Eds and
von Papen's, the Bopht’s and the rest
of their ilk. It should. In Justice to
itself and the people It represents, cast
out, like the foulest reptile, all who
can be convicted of conspiring against
our peace and well being or our rights
and privileges as a nation. This should
be done regardless of how Germany or
Austria or any other power may view
such action. They are a dirty gang and
their presence should not be tolerated
any longer than it takes to get rid
of them. Further there should be no
hesitation or cavailing about, no diplo
matic squlrmings or political evasions.
Neither should we fear the conse
quences of our action, even though the
final result be war. If it must come
lo that, let it come, for it is better to
ule fighting honorably for our rights
and privileges that to become the prey
of a festering sore within our own
being bred by these maggotts of a
rotten system. We are not looking
for trouble, thank heaven. We are but
seeking the privilege of liberty and
freedom to work out our own destiny
In our own way.
We care not to usurp the rights of
others nor to take away from any man
or nation that which Is legally and
morally theirs. Wo care not to Inter
fere with the affairs of others In any
degree nor to demand from them more
than we would give ourselves. We are
fair to all, both men and nations. In
pursuance of this, our chosen course of
action, we are in no degree transgress
ing the rights of others nor interfering
with their privileges. Whatever we are
doing today In our dealings with the
world at large has the approval of
custom and the sanction of years and
Is fixed in such justice as the world ac
cords. We have no apologies nor ex
cuses to make to anyone as wo are
proceeding within the recognised law
und In accordance with recognised pre
cedents.
We must, therefore insit that there
shall Le no interference with our privl
eges or affairs, even though such in
sistence lead us into danger. Boy-E.l ■
and von Papen have proven themselves
inimical to our peace and safety by
tampering with our laws and the rights
of our citizens. They have aligned
themselves with all that is an ant
contemptible; with all we despise They j
have Invoked hostile influences which j
threaten our welfare and the security |
f the nation and we are Justified in
casting them out without ceremony or
apoloyy as undesirables of the lowes’
rder To them and to all others of;
like propensities we say; “Here's your
hat. Go out. We want you not.”

of Dawson, and still later United f
.Stales commissioner at Koyukuk, has
struck it rich on a placer claim which
ne owns on Hammond river. He is <
now visiting the San Francisco exposi

a man with plenty of money to spend
can desire.
The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com
pany has ben made the defendant in
a damage suit brought by the widow .
and children of Minta Mllatovlch, who
received Injuries while at work on the
.nine from which he never recovered.
He died on June 3 last. The miner ;

employes.
Decause a drunken Mexican stabbed
Oscar Carlson, chief of the Wrangell
Are department, a vigilance committee
was organized and the Mexicans noti- 1
Aed that any of them found In town i

tfter twenty-four hours had elapsed |'
.vould be hanged. The Wrangell cltl
tens do not approve of watchful wait- |
ng. and nearly fifty Mexicans who j
tad congregated in the town after j
vorklng all season in the canneries, !
iromptly shook the dust of Wrangell 1
from their shoes, and left town In
imall boats or any kind of craft which 1
could be made to float.
Mat Miller, a Finlander, who at
tempted to escape from the commis
sioner's court at Tenakee, while being
tried for stealing a boat which he
claimed to have borrowed, was shot in
the back by Deputy Marshal Joseph
Armstrong. Miller was shot between
ihe shoulders und the bullet deflected
und pierced the throat, necessitating
the removal of a part of the thyroid
.land. The injured man was taken to
i Juneau hospital and it is stated that
he will recover. The physician's who
have examined the man's wound de
clare that it is a miracle that he was
not instantly kllcd. The whole trouble
i believed to be due to /t misunder
standing as Miller, who’is n young
man and not long In Anttrica under
