NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 19. 1917.
Nobly did Nome answer the "call"
when in mass meeting assembled on
Tuesday night. To congratulate them
would be an insult! They rejoiced
in the privilege of being able to as
sert their continual loyalty to the
Flag of Freedom! They rejoiced in
the opportunity to pledge themselves
to the government and to the presi
dent! They rejoiced In the fact that
they were Americans, and came
there to express their confidence in
their president anti eongres. Ir- '
respective of creed or party all were
there; old and young, rich and poor.
It was the spirit of America.
What American is there who has
not thrilled at the great historical
portraying episodes of the revolution
ary and civil war; how often has each
one wished that such time were over
again.
That opportunity is now here! The
president and congress of the United
States have decided. It is now the
privilege of all to rally to the Flag,
just ns our forefathers did in the days
of the revolution.
We are in the War. Our battle is
being fought on the western front,
on the eastern front, in Italy and in
Palestine. We have entered the arena
and entwined our flag with that of the
allied nations who are battling for the
downfall of autocracy. We are pre
pared to follow that flag to the end
of the earth and be it in Mesopotamia
or in the Champagne country, Amer
icans will carry it on to victory as
that brave Texan did the other day on
Vimy ridge.
Tuesday night's meeting demon
strated that Americans—even this far
removed from the scene of conflict,
where the thrills of war are least
evident—are determined that Ameri
cans will follow the flag to victory.
Nome is ready to give her portion
in good American blood to uphold the
traditions of our country, and, in the
initerests of humanity, to down that
militaristic system of (Prussianism
which has terrorized Europe and
which is endeavoring to terrorize the
world.

A SILENT TRAGEDY.
A silent tragedy is being enacted in
n million homes in the United States.
Upon Americans of German ancestry
this calamity has fallen with the
weight of mati'icide. It is a time for
sympathy and understanding on the
part of all other Americans.
How heavy the blow has fallen
can be emphasized by the sudden death
of Frl. Lina Hansler and Pastor Hugo
Hoffman, both well known personages
In German-American life, who suc
cumbed to tiie shock administered by
the severence of diplomatic realtions.
Mayor Mitchell in his speech of,
Saturday night at the dinner of the
real estate board at the Waldorf
^ sounded the right note when he said;
"There could be no greater injus
| tice done than for any of our citizens
of native birth to treat those who
are not of native birth as if they sus
pected or doubted their loyalty to
this country in this hour. Our Get
man citizens have the rgiht to ex
pect from you and from us confidence
in their loyalty.
"And the only real danger of dis
order of breach of the peace would
be if some of us forgot that obliga
tion and conducted ourselves other
wise toward them. And so I wish to
i say most solemnly to the people of
1 New York tonight; Assume the loyal
ty of all American citizens without!
I question, because 1 know that it will
be given to our country at this time."
Americans of German ancestry have
another opportunity of evidencing
that loyalty which in the past they
have never failed to give to the coun
try of their choice. The last many
months have been full of questionings.
The last few hours have brought the j
definite answer. The unanimous j
chorus of loyalty on the part of the
German-American press and the
German-American public must sink
deep into the consciousness of the
Ameroican people. It is not in vain
that we are the desendants of Steuben.
Herkimer, Sige’ and Schurz.
Goethe in "Wilhelm Meister” wrote: !
"Who never ate his bread in sorrow, J
Who never spent the darksome hour
Weeping and watching for the mor
row."
How well that applies to us today:
We hope and pray that, peace may
still he maintained. All hope has rot
yet tied. The opportunity for refl»:
tion has not passed.—New oYrk Staats
Zeitung.
MURDEROUS PACIFICISTS.
There is .1 type of pacificist which
should invite the attention of alienists.
There is no lack of evidence of mental
unsoundness in many followers of
the cult, but the most remarkable ex
hibition has recently come from the
British islands.
The British attorney general has
made public the fact that the author
ities had recently uncovered a con
spiracy among the radical pacificists
of London directed againts the life
of the premier, Lloyd George. They
had prepared to kill him through the
use of darts, tipped with the poison
used by the Indians of the Orinoco
'in the darts of their blow-pipes,
curare.
Last summer some of the pacificists
reformers of San Francisco showed
their hatred of militarism and their
desire to keep this country in the path
of peace at any price by throwing a
bomb Into a preparedness parade and
killing six people. Some of the per
petrators of that outrage have been
convicted and are now facing the
death penalty.
What is there about the pacificists
propaganda which distorts the Intel
lect in this fashion?
POVERTY.
Poverty is not an exact state. One
cannot dra wa line and say that above
it 'is riches and below poverty. Many I
think themselves poor because they
cannot afford desired luxuries. Others
lacking much that is usually though!
necessary, feel rich that they have |
health and family and love. They make I
the best of every chance good that
conies. When any one’s purse will
not provide sufficient food or clothing,
or shelter, we call him poor. He may
l>e rich in wealth of the heart. To
make the best of what one can ob
tain is riches in spirit. One may, in
deed, call himself poor if he has no
friends, but this is a poverty for which
he himself is probably to blame.
There is a poverty of mind also, but
of this, one seldom hears complaint.
If an idea does come to one that he
suffers such a lack, let him make
haste to apply the remedy that is
within his reach. There is still worse
poverty, a poverty of heart. If one
has (no sympathy with those who
suffer or are 'in need, he is poor, in -|
deed, lacking the riches that bring the
truest joys. When one can close his
eyes, or ears, or heart, to an appeal i
off real suffering, his is a poverty of
which to be ashamed. When one's.
heart never swells with gratitude,
when it never goes out to his friend
or neighbor, or his country or his God,
he is poor, indeed.
THE TEST OF A GENTLEMAN.
"The gentleman will betray himself
os quickly at any other occupation
as whuln driving a car," says the
Houston Post. "But the man who
shows as much consideration for the
pedestrian on the street, for the driver
of a wagon, or for the motorist 'in
the other car, as he does for the
young lady beside him, will not for
long conceal the fact he is one of that
constantly lessening number who may
be called gentlemen.”
A rather long and somewhat com
plicated sentimetn to say that the
test of a gentleman is the consider
ation known to other people. There
is no other test. It matters not how
exalted one's ancestors; it matters
not how well educated he may be;
It matters not how graced he is In
art or literature, if he lacks consid
eration for other people—for all peo
ple-lie is not a gentleman.
So it all resolves itself into one
word, "kindness." The kindly man is
a gentleman. The fellow who is "un
kindly,” is not a gentleman. That is all
there is to it—whether one is driving
a car or sweeping a street.—Payton
News.
